It is notable that it was from the Terrace gaol, a few .years ago, that I’awelka, the notorious convict, broke loose, and has never been heard of since. BE FIRM. When you ask i'er a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic and Remedy, do not allow the dealer to sell you a substitute. Be firm in your conviction that, there is nothing so good. This medicine has been tested -in the most severe and dangerous eases of cramps, colic, and diarrhoea, and has never been known to fail.
