Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 179, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 August 1918 — Summer Complaint. [ARTICLE]

Summer Complaint.

During the hot weather of the summer months some member of almost every family is likely to be troubled with an unnatural looseness of the bowels, and it is of the greatest importance that this be treated promptly, which can only be done when the medicine is kept at hand. Mrs. F. F. Scott, Scottsville, N. Y., says: “I first used Chamberlain’s Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy as much as five ago. At that time I had a severe attack of summer complaint and was suffering intense pain. One dose relieved me. Other members of my family have since used it with like results.” C

couraged. I had recovered from my slight indisposition and was going back for “seconds,” at meal time. I felt that good. I beamed on him and greeted him in my most genial manner. He was feeling “great” but the expression on his face belied his words. Then followed a conversation or rather a monologue that was enlightening to say the least. It was a tirade. Young had very definite opinions regarding ocean travel. I asked him if he had written home, No, but I’m going to this afternoon before it is too late, and that is what I’m goiqg to write. “Dear Folks: Don’t woryy. I have arrived safely under sea.” This letter grows too long. My lieutenant and censor must be considered. I shall write another day tell you what I can of France. I am now located near Gievres, a village of a few hundred souls. It is some miles south east of Tours> in the province of Loire-et-Cher. It is really nothing more than a geographical desgnation. About (censored) I am in rare good health ;and could not ask things to be better than they are. I’m mighty glad I am 'in France. Of course I should like to. be with you all in Rensselaer, but in these times and until the war is over, I am contented and I would not change places with anyone in the whole of Jasper county. The numbef of letters that I may send will be limited though I do not know now to what extent. Don’t let that keep you from ‘ writing. When ever you feel the call of the muse —obey that impulse. I am mourning the loss of a pair of bed slippers given to me by the Red Cross. They were the most comfortable and the most indispensable of ail my personal belongings. The nights are surprisingly cold and we sleep on the ground and all those little knick-knocks help a bit. The loss was a results of a fire which destroyed our tent and most of the contents. The fire occured during our absence so there were no'casualties. The tent was a large bne accommodating fifty men. I have an idea that delivery of newspapers Will be very slow and irregular, so it would be well to clip items of interest from the papers and enclose them in your letters. Date the items if possible. S Never send packages to me unless specially requested, else I’ll never get them. , Give my love to all the folks and remember —write often. with love, Your son John, Ident. 785923 Q. M. C.
