REMINGTONIAN.

Now that this cholera question has come up, the Leader will improve this opportunity to remark, that the cock fighting editor of the Leader has personally witnessed the most remarkable results from the use of this Ganter’s chicken colera cure, he ever saw in any remedy of that character. Three separate times has a single bottle of it, instantly and effectually, checked for him an invasion into his collection of egg producers, that he has every reason to believe wouldn’t have left half a dozen out of his hundred pullets, in a month’s time. This is a square fact, and the writer doesn’t get a nickle for the advertisement, either.—Covington, Ohio, Leader.
