The Doctor Away From Home Wheh
Most Needed.

People are often very much dis
appointed to find that their family
physician is away from home when
they most need his services. Diseases
like pain in the stomach and bowels,
collie and diarrhoea require prompt
treatment, and have in many in
stances proven fatal before medicine
could be procured or physician
summoned The right way is to keep
at hand bottle of Chamberlain's
Collie and Diarrahoea Remedy. No
physician can prescribe better med
icine for these diseases. BY having
it in the house you escape much pain
and suffering and all risk. Buy 1t
low; it may save life.
