I asked him if he had tried Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and he said. ‘No.’ I went home and brought him mv bottle and gave him one dose; told him to take another dose in fifteen or twenty minutes if he did not feel relief, but he took no more and was entirely cured.” Sold by Holthouse, Callow & Co. a The great harvester manufacturing concerns of Chicago have laid off 7,000 employes on account of the failure of the grain crops in the north west, which decreases the sale of machinery As the republican party takes the credit for the bountiful wheat crop in Kansas, they will bo compelled to shoulder the responsibility of the failure of crops in the north-west,and are therefore responsible for the 7,000 men loosing their jobs.

Twenty-three years ago I was taken with some kind of stomach trouble and I tried everything I heard of. They did me but little good. Three years ago neuralgia set in on me and I got so poor and weak that I could hardly walk -couldn’t work any. My husband received a book through the mail, advertising your medicine, and he sent our little boy to the drug store to get one of your ten cent bottles. I began to use it. It is strange to say, but it’s the truth, the second dose 1 took gave ine lots of relief. I kept on using it until I used it nearly one year and now I am nearly as strong as I used to Im, and can do any kind of work. I recommend to all, for it seems to me it would cure anybody. I have gotten several to use Syrup Pepsin and they all say it has done them so much good. God bless Dr. Caldwell and his medicine for doing me so much good. Yours with respect, Mrs Isabel!
