I at once got up and went out, found her very 111 with cramp colic: her hands and arms were darwn up so you coiila not straighten them, and with a deathlike look on her face. Two or three ladles were working with her and giving her whiskey. I went to my suit case and got my bottle of Chamberlain's Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy (I never travel without It), ran to the water tank. put a double dose of the medicine In the glass, poured some water Into It and stirred it with a pencil: then I had quite a time to get the ladlea to let me give It to her, but I succeeded. I could at once aee the effect and I worked with her, rubbing ber hands, and in twenty minutes I gave her an other dose. By thla time we were almost Into Iji Grande, where I waa to leave the train. I gave the bottle to the husband to be used In case another dose should be needed, but by the time the train ran Into I .a Grande she waa alright, and I re ceived the thanka of every passen ger in the car."
