Last summer one of our grandchild res was sick with a severe bowel trouble. Our doctor's remedies had failed, then we tried Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, which gave very speedy relief. We regard it as the best medicine ever put on the market for bowel complaints.—Mrs E. G. Gregory, Frederickstown, Mo. Thia certainly is the best medicine ever put on the market for dysentery, summhr com plaint, colic and cholera infantum in children. It never fails to give prompt relief when used in reasonable time and plain printed directions are followed. Many mothers have expressed their sincere gratitude for the cures it has effected.

A UNIVERSAL CHRISTMAS BOX. CIVILISED society recognises Christmas as the season of goodwill, and goodwill usually takes the form of a present. The present may only be a twopenny pictorial card with a greeting inscribed on it, or it may be something more valuable or useful, according to the means and generosity of the giver. There are some presents which are the reverse of profitable to the recipient. For instance, an elephant would hardly suit a citizen who lived in a four roomed cottage with no back yard to speak of, neither would the gift of the new Government steamer Tutanakei be acceptable if the recipient had to keep her in commission as a yacht. But the best of all Christmas presents, the one which would be unanimously accpted with gratitude by every householder, be he or she wealthy or poor, is a box of Suratuka. Tea, accompanied by the donor's hope of many happy returns of the day. Scbatuka Tea brings to the home cheerfulness and health. The hypochondriac recovers his spirits, the bilious subject becomes cheerful under its benign influence i here ia no known in stance of Tea being replaced in a household by any other tea after one trial, because its economy, purity, strength, aroma, and freedom from blending with In _ian and China teas commend it without puffing.
