would have governed an assessment OF

The railroad company has been mule

count of lives lost in the disaster

per was among the many seekers after
fortune who made the big race one
fine day In April. During his travel
ing about and afterwards his camping

bad water, which. together with the
severe heat, gave him a very severe
diarrhoea which II seemed almost i'm
possible to check, and along in June
the case became 30 bad he expected to
die. One day one Of his n~eighbors
brought him one small bottle Of Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy as a. last hope. A big dose
was given him while he was rolling
about on the ground in great agony,
and In a few minutes the dose was
repeated. The good effect Of the med
icine was soon noticed and within an
hour the patient was taking his first
sound sleep for a fortnight. The n
little bottle worked q complete cure.
