There is lesson in the work of the
thrifty farmer. He knows that the
bright sunshine may last but day and
he prepares for the showers which are
so liable to follow. So it should be
with every household. Dysentery, diar.
rhoea and cholera morbus may attack
some member of the home without
warning. Chamberlain's Collie, Chol
era and Diarrhoea Remedy, which is
the best known medicine for these dis.
eases, should always be kept at hand,
as immediate treatment is necessary,
and delay may prove fatal. For sale
