I nm not one of the fainting kind, but for a minute or two I stood motionless. Then, springing down stairs, 1 admitted the three eager women who were hud- dled at the door.


"I've shot him! I've killed himl" wns all that I could say. "Run up stairs, Di- nah, and see if-if he is dead."

Power, of Emporia, Kan. "My neighbor across the street waa sick for over a week, had two or three bottles of medicine from the doctor. He used them for three or four days without re- lief, then called in another dootor who treated him for some days and gave bim no relief, so discharged him. I went over to see him the next morning. He


said his howels' were in a terrible fix, that they bad been running off so long that it was almost bloody flux. I asked him if be had tried Chamberlain'a Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy; he said, No.' I went home and brought him my bottle and gave him one dose; told him to take auother dose in fifteen or | twenty minutes if he did not find any relief, but he took no more and was en- tirely cured. I think it the hest medi- cine 1 bave ever tried." For sale by Albert C. Mason, druggist.
