Over Thirty-Five Years,

In 1872 there was great deal of di-
arrhoea, dysentery and cholera infan-
tum. 1t was at this time that Cham
berlain's S Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy was first brought into use. It
proved more successful than any other
remedy or treatment, and has for thirty
five years maintained that record. From
a small beginning its sale and use has
extended to every part of the United
States and to many foreign countries.
Nine druggists out Of ten will recon-
mend it when their opinion is asked,
although they have other medicines
that pay them greater profit. 1t can
always be depended upon. even in the
most severe and dangerous cases. For

Spirited Repartee.

In making sharp turn, the rear
end of street car struck an express
wagon laden with jugs of wh;skey.
Nearly all the jugs were precipitated
to the pavement, with the natural dis
astrous result. The driver of the
wagon alighted, and, pointing at the
pile of demolished earthen ware, said
to bystander, "That's hell, amt it?"
The spectator, who happened to be
minister, replied. "Well, my friend,
I don't know that I would say that,
but it's at least the abode of departed
spirits" July Lippincott's.
