Last June Dick Crawford brought his twelve-months-old child, suffering from infantile diarrhoea, to mo. It had been weaned at four months old, and had always been sickly. I gave it tho usual treatment in such cases, but without benefit. The child kept growing thinner uutil it weighed but little more than when born, or perhaps ten pounds. I then started the father to giving Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Before one bottle had been used a marked improvement was seen, and its continued use cured the child. Its weakness and puny constitution disappeared, and its father and myself believe tho child's life was saved by thiß Remedy J. T. Marlow, M.D., Tamaroa, 111. For sale by E. D.
