Co., j Des Moines, lowa, U.S.A. i Gentlemen,— T have suffered for some months past from repeated attacks of Diarrhoea, and felt myself Retting very weak, through my appetite having become scanty and distasteful. I tried different remedies without getting any apparent relief. Was advised to try Chamberlain's Colic. Cholera, Diarrhtea Remedy, and am thankful to state that I did so, for it has proved most effective ; has checked the Diarrhoea, my appetite has been renewed, and general tone of my system greatly improved. I value the medicine I highly. . EDWABD G. YATES, J.P. This valuable medicine is for, sale by D. B. Esther, Chemist, Gore. Price, Is 6d ; big size, 3s. Lots of people have bought a small sample packet of McKenzie's Hohdai-Lanka Ceylon Tea out of pure curiosity. *Didn't believe in it — why, certainly not— why should they. But somehow or other they are using it right along;' wouldn't forsake it on any account. Of course, they were sceptical at first; so many things advertised nowadays ; bat a teapot test set doubt at rest. — From D. Taylor, grocer, Gore.
