CHAMBERLAIN'S COLIC, CHOL-
ERA AND DIARRHOEA REMEDY
Every family without exception
should keep this preparation at hand
during the hot weather of the sum-
mer months. Chamberlain's Colic, Chol-
era and Diarrhoea Remedy is worth
many times its cost when needed and
is almost certain to be needed before
the summer is over. It has no superior
for the purposes for which it is intend-
ed. Buy it now. Obtainable everywhere.
CONSTIPATION AND INDIGES-
TION.
"I have used Chamberlain's Tablets
and must say they are the best I have
ever used for constipation and indi-
gestion. My wife also used them for
indigestion and they did her good,
writes Eugene S. Knight, Wilmington,
N. C. Chamberlain's Tablets are mild
and gentle in their action. Give them a
trial. You are certain to be pleased
with the agreeable laxative effect
which they produce. Obtainable every-
where.
HELPING OURSELVES.
Sometimes a summer widower is so
careful about keeping the house closed
he locks himself outside and his keys
inside.
