It is announced that the Post-
ottice investigation is nearing an
end but the most important part
is still to come, the reorganization
which must follow if a recur
rence of the current scandals is
to be prevented. One of the
most important steps in this di
rection should be a complete di
vorce of the administration from
the inspection service.
Coming as it does in the busiest
season, when a man can least atford
to lose time, a sure and quick cure for
diarrhoea is very desirable. Anyone
who has <riven it a trial will tell you
that the quickest, surest and most
pleasant remedy in use for this disease
is (’hamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. There is no loss
of time when it is used, as one or two
doses of it w'ill cure any ordinary at
tack. It never fails, not even in the
most severe and dang-erous cases.

that every member of Transyl

their guns in L%1 ai-e yearly an

There is an old alle^jorical picture
of a jrirl scared at a grass-hopper,
but in the act of heedlessly treading- on
a snake. This is paralleled by the
man who spends a larg-e sum of money
building a cyclone cellar, but nejrlects
to provide his family with a bottle of
Chamberlain’s Colic, Ceolera and
Diarrhoea Remedy as a safeguard
aj^ainst bowel complaints, whose vic
tims outnumber those of the cyclone a
hundred to one. This remedy is every-
w'here recoynized as the most prompt
and reliable medicine in use for these
diseases. For sale by Z. W. Nichols,
