Cuban Diarrhoea.

L. 5. soldiers who served in Cuba
during the Spanish war know what
this disease is, and that ordinary
remedies have little more effect than
so much water. Cuban diarrhoea is
almost as severe and dangerous as a
mild attack of cholera There is
one remedy, however, that can al
ways be depended upon as will be
seen by the following certificate
from Mrs. Minnie Jacobs of Houston,
Texas: Il hereby certify that
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy cured my husband
of severe attack of Cuban diarr-
hoea, which he brought home from
Cuba. We had several doctors but
they did him no good. one bottle
of this remedy cured him, as our
neighbors will testify. THANK God
