This is exactly what Conan Doyle, known all the world over by his "Sherlock Holmes" and "White Company" stories, has just been paid for his latest and (what he himself says is) his masterwork. This new £5,000 story, a companion to his "White Company," is called "Sir Nigel." ONE BOTTLE CORED HIM, "Last summer," says Arthur Bolton, of Bolton Bros., Bendigo, Vic, " I had a severe attack of summer comprint or bowel trouble. For a time I paid no attention, simply let things ran along, but finding it was becomming a very serious matter I concluded to try Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera, and Diarrhoea Bemedy, which I bad seen so highly recommended in the papers. Our looal chemist sent me a small bottle, and before it was all used I was entirely well, The pain was stopped by the first dose." For sale by T. G. Mason, Masterton.
