I suffered with diarrhoea for a long
time and thought I was past being cured.
I had spent much time and money and
suffered so much misery that I had al
most decided to give up all hopes of re
covery and await the result, but notic
ing the advertisement of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhcea Remedy
and also some testimonials stating how
some wonderful cures had been wrought
by this romody, I decided to try it.
After taking a few doses I was entirely
well of that trouble, and I wish to say
further to my readers and fellow suffer
ers that I am a hale and hearty man
today and feel as well as I ever did in
my life. O. E. Mookb. Sold by Dr.
Edwin Koss.
