The Doctor Away from Home When
Most Needed.

People are often very much
disappointed to find that their
family physician is away from
home when they most need his
services. Diseases like cramp
collie and cholera morbus require
prompt treatment, and have in
many cases proven fatal before
medicine could be procured or a
physician summoned. The right
way is to keep at hand a bottle
of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and diarrhoea Remedy. No ply
stefan can prescribe a better
medicine for these diseases. BY
having it in the house you escape
much pain and suffering and all
risk. Buy it now; it may save
life. For sale by S. V. Writ.
