The Packers at the Battle of Satia- gole Cuba were all Heroes. Their Heroic Efforts in getting Ammunition and Rations to the Front Saved the day. P. E. Butler, of pack-train No' 3, writing from Santiago, De Cuba, on July 23d, says: "We all had diarrhoea in more or less violent form, and when we lauded we had no time to see a doctor, for it was a case of rush and rush night and day to keep the troops supplied with ammunition and rations, but thanks to Chamberlain's Colic.

Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, we are able to keep at work and keep 0111 health; in fact, I sincerely believe that at one critical time this medicine was the indirect saviour of our army, ibi if the packers had not been able to work there would have been no way of getting supplies to the front. There were no roads that a wagon train could use. My comrade and myself had the good fortune to lay in a supply of this medicine ior our pack-train before we left Tampa, and I know in four cases it absolutely saved life."
