From the Tim?. Hlllstllle. Vs.
I suffered with diarrhoea for a long
time and thought I waa past being cur
ed. I had aient much time and money
and Buffered so much misery that I
had almoat decided to give up all hope
of recovery and await the reeult, but
noticing the advertisement of Cham
berlain's Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy and also some testimonials
stating how some wonderful cure had
been wrought by this remedy, I decid
ed to try It. After taking a few dose
I wa entirely well of that trouble, and
I wish to ay further to my reader
and fellow sufferer that I am a hale
and hearty man today and feel as well
as I ever did In my life. O. R. Moore.
