An open Letter.
From the Chapin, S.C. News: Early
in the spring my wife and I were taken
with dsarrhoea and so severe were the
pains that we called a physician who pre
scribed for us, but failed to give any re
lief. A friend who had a bottle of Cham
berlain’s Colic, Cholera and diarrhoea
Remedy on hand gave each of us a dose
and we at once felt the effects. I procur
ed a bottle and before using the entire
contents we were entirely cured. It is a
wonderful remedy and should be found
in every household. H. C. Bailey, Edi
