During that time I have taken 198 prizes, 33 champions, 5 gold medals, and 4 points prizes " For pigs, horses, and all kinds of live stock there is no food equal to "SUOROSINE." Obtainable from W.F.CU. Ltd. Mr W. A. Kellow, Taranaki Street, Wellington., N-Z , writes: " There is no question about it—Chambei lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhuja Kemedy is a line one. I have used it several times and it always gives me immediate relief. Not long ago one of my carters came home with a very severe a*tack of colic and diarrhoea, and it only took tws doses o! Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea liemedy to fix him up in good shape. I never go away on a trip without a bottle of this medicine , for I find that change of wateroften affects one."
