Nowadays when a young hopeful is
taken by the collar and gently shaken by
school teacher, his fond parents first
have nervous prostration ami rush off and
have the pedagogue arrested. Yet n.eo

school howling that he had been whipped

"About six years ago for the first time
in rav life I had a sudden and severe
attack of diarrhoea," says Mrs. Alice
Miller, of Morgan, Texas. "1 got tem
porary relief, but it came back again and
again, and for six long years I have suf
fered more misery and iinony than lean
tell. It was worse than death. M
husband spent hundreds of dollars for
physicians' prescriptions and treatment
without anvil. ' Finally we moved to
Bosque county, our present home, and
one day I happened to see an advertise
ment of Chamberlain's Colic Cholera and
Diarrhoea, Remedy with a testimonial of
a man who had been cured by it. The
case was so similar to my own that I
concluded to try the remedy. The result
was wonderful. I could hardly realize
that I was well again, or believe it could
be so after having suffered so long, but
that one bottle of medicine, costing but a
few cents, cured me." For sale by All
