II | WERE A FARMER.

If we're a farmer would keep at
hard few reliable medicines for mi
nor ailments that are so serious as
to require the attention of physi-
eian. such as chamberlain's Collie and
Diarrhoea Remedy for bowel COM
plants.
Chan:berlains Cough Remedy for
coughs, colds and Group.
Cham berlain's Liniment for
spra:ns, bruises and rheumatic pains.
Chanab berlain's Tablets for stomach
troubles, bliousness and constipation.
This would require an outlay of
only S1.10. By having these artic-
les at hand it would often save the
trouble Of trip to town in the bus
lest season or in the night, and would
enable G.2 to treat slight ailments as
soon IS t'2ey appear, and thereby
avoid the more serious diseases that
so oftsn follow.
