Chamberlains Collie And DiarrhOea
Remedy

This is unquestionably one of the most
suce essful medicines in use for bowel
complaints. A few.doses of it will cure
an ordinary attack of diarrhoea. 1t has
been used in nine epidemics of dysentery
with perfect success. 1t can always be
depended upon to give prompt relief in
cases of collie and cholera morbus. When
reduced with water and sweetencd it is
pleasant to take. Every family should
keep this remedy at hand. adv
