PREFECTION FOUND AT LAST.

Dear Sirs:—l received a gun shot wound in ’64 while in the army which caused a partial paralysis of the bowels and from that time to the present I have had to nse a laxative.

It may be a question whether the editor of a newspaper has the rigbe to publicly recommend any of thh various proprietary medicines whice flood the market, yet as a preventivy of suffering we feel it a duty to sat a good word for Chamberlain’s Colic Cnolera and - Diarrhoea Remedy. We have known and used this medicine in our family for twenty years and have always found it reliable. In many cases a dose of this remedy would save hours of suffering while a physician is awaited. We do not believe in depending implioitly on any medicine for a cure, but we do believe that if a bottle of Chamberlains Diarrhoea Remedy were kept on hand and administered at the inoeption of an attack much suffering might be avoided and in very many oases the presence of a pbysioan would not be required. At least this has been our experience during the past twenty years. For sale by Hunt Bros., Druggists, Oliver plows and Brown cultivators, for sale by L. S. Renicker, near the depot
