"I have used Chamberlain's Colic.
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and
find It to lie a great medicine,0 says
Mr. K 8. Phlppa, of Poteau, Am. "It
cured me of bloody flux, I cannot speak
too highly or it." This remedy always
wins the good opinion, If not praise, of
those who use It. The quick cures
which It elfechi even in the most severe
caea make It a favorite everywhere.
