His Only Wish.

Nothing 30 touches the heart strings as
the loss Of a f~avorite child. Anyone who
has experienced such q misfortune will SYM
pathize with Mr.. n. J. Lewis Of Newberry,
Florida, who writes: al am 50 thankful
that l nave found q cure for dysentery. For
three years l have been troubled with this
disease. Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy was recommended TO me
and has effected azure. When it comes back
one dose is all that is necessary to set me
right. 1 only wish had known about this
remedy a year ago when my dear little baby,
one and a half years old, took dysentery and
died in three days The docton tried to
stop it but failed, and l buried my very
heart strings with my child. No household
should be without this valuable remedy"
