Little Pauline was beautiful
child. she was affecinate obedient
and wss loved by all who knew

mother to give her up, after the

you may be able eventually to over

use the most mild and gentle laxa-

The Doctor Away From Home When
Most Needed

People are often very much disap-
pointed to find that their family
PHYSICIAN is away from home when
they most need his services. Dis
ease like pain in the stomach and
bowels, collie diarrhoea require prompt
treatment, and have in many in
stances proven fatal before medicir e
could be produced or a physician
summond The right way is to keep
at hand a bottle of Chamberlain's
Collie and Diarahoea Remedy. No
physician can prescribed better medi-
cine 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.
