A,PRoNoUNcED SUCCESS.

The uniform success that has attended
the use of Chamberlain S Collie and Diar-
rhoea Remedy in the relief and cure of
bowel complaints, both for children and
adults, has brought it into almost uni
versal use, so that it is practically with
out rival and as everyone who has ueed
it knows, it is without an equal.

THE IDEAL PURcATIVE.

AS purgative, Chamberlain s Tablets
are the exact thing required. Strong
enough for the most robust, mild enough
for children, They cause an agreeable
movement of the bowels without any of
that terrible gripping, They are easy and
pleasant to take and agreeable in effect.
