Mrs. Bush is now in perfect

among the many seekers after fortune who
made the big race one line day in April.
During lita traveling about and afterwards
his camping upon his claim, hf encountered
much lmd water, which, together with tho
severe beat, gave him a very severe diar
rhoea which it seemed almost Impostble to
check, and along in June the case became
so bad he expected to die. One day olio of
his neighbors bought his one small bottle
of Chamberlain’s Colic Cholera and I)iar.
rhoea Remedy as a last hope, A big dose
was given him while lie was rolling about
on the ground in great agony, and in a few
minutes the dose was repeated. Tno good
effect of t lie medicine was soon not iced and 4
within an hour the patient was taking his ^
first sound sleep for a fortnight. That one
little bottle worked a complete cure, and
