I suffered with diarrhoea for a long time, and thought I was past being cured. I had spent much time and money and suffared so i much misery that I had almost decided to give up all hopes of recovery and await, the result, but noticing the advertisement of Oha«nb9rlain'a Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea, Bemedy, and also some testimonials tta'iog how some wonderful cures had been wrought by this remedy, I decided to try it. After taking a few drses I was entire'y well of that trouble, and I wish to say further to my readers and fe!low-3uffererß that I am a h*le and hoarfcy man to-day, and feel aa wdl as I ever did in my life—O R Moore, For sale by Ashburton Drug Company

The doctors I consulted could not do me any good, so I had to suffer. Aboub , four years ago my sufferings were farther aggravated-by an accident, through a stone falling on the same leg, causing me intenw pain. I sought relief in various advertised remedies, but without receiving any benefit from them. Hearing about " Webbers Vitadatio " I decided to give it " a trial." After taking four bottles I am thankful to say thab the "inflammation and running sore have disappeared." I suffer no pain, i and am able to do my work as usual; You are ab liberty to make whab use you like of this testimonial, just hopicg ib may benefit some poor sufferer.
