vere attack of cholera - morbus. Two
physicians worked over me from 4 a. m.
to ( p. m. without giving me any relief
and then told me they did not expect
me to live; that I had best telegraph for
my family. Instead of doing so, I gave
the hotel porter 60 cents and told blm to
buy me a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, and take
no substitute. I took a double dose ac
cording to the directions and went to
sleep after the second dose. At I o'clock
the next morning .1 was called by my
order and took a train for my next stop

shaky from the severity of the attack,"
