Would not Sufler so Again for Fifty Times
Its Price.
I awoke last night with severe
pains in my stomach I never felt
so badly in all my life. When I
came down to work this morning
I felt so weak I could hardly work.
I went to Miller – McCurdy’s
drug store and they recommended
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. It worked
like magic aud one dose, fixed me
all right. It certainly is the finest
thing I ever used for stomach
trouble, 1 shall not be without it
in my home hereafter, for I should
not care to endure the sufferings
of last night again for fifty times
