Mr W. A. Kellow, Taranaki Street, Wellington., N-Z , writes: " There is no question about it- Ghambeilain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy is a fine 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 sevpre attack of colic and diarrhoea, and it only took nva doses of Chumberlain's Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy 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 water often affects one." For sale by all chemits and storekeepers
