Butler, of paqk-train No. ?, writing from Sandiago, De Cuba, on July 23d, says: "We all had diarrhoea in more or less violent form, and when we landed we had no time to see a doctor, for it was a case of rush and rush night and day to keep the troops sup plied with ammunition and rations, but thanks to Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, we were able to keep lit work and keep our health ; in fact, I sincerely believe that at one critical time this medicine was the in direct saviour of our army, for if the packers bad been unable to work there would have been no way of getting sup plies to the front. There were no roads that a wagon train could use. My com rad and myself had the good fortune to lay in a supply of this medicine for out pack-train before we left Tampa, and I know in four cases it absolutely saved life."
