Not If as Rich as Rockefeller.
If yon had all the wealth of Rockefller,
the Standard Oil magnate* you could not
buy a better medicine for bowel com;
plaints than Chamberlain’s Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. The
most eminent physician can not prescribe
a better preparation for colic, and diarr
hoea, both forjchildren and adu*ts. The
uniform success of this remedy has
shown it to be superior to all others. It
never falls, and when reduced with
water and sweetened, Is pleasant to take.
Every family should be supplied with It.
