The people have long since learned that
the most disagreeable medicines are not nec-
essarily the best. In fact, as a rule, they are
not. \Vhat is wanted is something mild and
sure, such as Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. That is. really
pleasant to take when reduced with water
and sweetened. Then it is acknowledged
everywhere to be the most successful remedy
in the wOrld for bowel complaints. Ask any
number of druggists for the best remedy
they have for diarrhoea and fully nine out
of ten will recommend Chamberlain’s. In
speaking of this medicine, Mr. B. B. Bufl'um
. of Friendsville, Susquehanna Co., Pa., says:
“We have used it in our family for ain in
. the stomach, colic and diarrhoea an found
it to be a most effective remedy.”
