Suggestion for a Camping Trip

Buy a bottle of Chamberlain Colo
and Diarrhoea Remedy before leaving
home. As rule it cannot be obtained
when on a hunting, fishing or pros
pecting trip. Neither can ii be OBJ
tanned while on board the cars or
steamships and at such times and
places it is most likely to be needed.
The safe way is to have it with you.
