A few doses of this remedy will in
variably cure an ordinary attack of
diarrhma.
1t can always be depended upon,
even in the more severe attacks of
cramp collie and cholera morbus.
1t is equally successful for summer
diarrhea and cholera infantum in
children, and is the means of saving
the lives of many children each year.
When reduced with water and
sweetened it is pleasant to take.
Every man of family should keep
this remedy in his home. Buy it now.
