'Soon after a friend recommended Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry, and actiug on this advice I administered • 15, 10 all who were suffering, with the most gratifying results. Since that first at- • tack my children have been abject to stomach troubles, but on the first symptoms I resort to "Dr. Fowler's," and it always brings relief. I have immense faith hi this medicine, and always keep a bottle on hand, Also • I never fail to recommend it to anyone who is similarly troubled." When you ask for "Dr. Fowler's" see that you get it.
