The Doctor Away from Home When
 Most Needed

People are often very much dis appointed to find that their family physician is away from home when they most need his services. Dis eases like cramp collie and cholera morbus require prompt treatment, and have in many instances proven fatal before medicine could be pro cured or a physician summoned.
 The right way is to keep at hand bottle ofChamberlain's coilc, chol- era'and diarrhoea remedy. No Phy- sician can prescribe better medi- cine for these diseases. By having it in the house you can escape much pain and suffering and all risk. Buy it now; it may save life. For sale by all dealers.
