Since 1878 there have been nine epidemics of dysentery in different parts of the country in which Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was used with perfect success. Dysentery, when epidemic, is almost as severe and dangerous as Asiatic cholera. Heretofore the best efforts of the most skilled physiciane hnve failed to check its ravages, this remedy, however, has cured ths nionfc malignant cases, both of children and adults, and under the most trying conditions, which proves it to be the best medicine in the world for bowel eomplaiats.
