1t would bring to her more money than the cotton crop will be worth to her. Our farmers are beginning to turn their attention more and more to truck farm ing, and very soon they will begin to krow rich by saving the small things, such as were once neglected by them. The low price of cotton may prove blessing in disguise to our state by fore ing the farmers to turn their attention to diversified farming. Stock farming is also a fruitful source of our farmers it they could be induced to give attention to it. There is not a place in the United States where hogs, sheep, cattle, mules and horses grow and thrive better than in Alabama. By growing eorn and hogs upon the farm and stock to feed 1t to our farmers could soon be self-sustain- ing. Upon the whole our farmers are on rising ground out of debt as rule and making what they consume at home In this way they are fast gaining ground.

To Out-of-Town Patients:

Since the establishment of the South ern Medical Dispensary in this city several years ago, and which, by the way, was the first medical institute in Eirmingham-as the files of the city papers will show-our success has been so pronounced es to encourage other less competent doctors and self styled told reliable specialists" to inn itate our mode of advertising, and by their spacious pretensions end heroic self praise make capital for themselves by their qnestionab ole methods. We therefore advise all those who may not be personally acquainted with Dr. Do- zier, before submitting their cases to any specialist, to consult their own in- terests and safety by first making an investigation of the home character of the man that they would have treat them.
 If you are a member of any church, or if you are Mason, Odd Fellow, K. of H., K. of F., or belong to any order or organization then write to some leader, officer or member of such church or order in Birmingham and inquire concerning our professional, social and financial standing. After doing this, write to us plain state ment of your case and inclose a stamp TOT T6p1y. we VIII SiNO JOo ohOh Ooi opinion, terms for treatment, etc.
 Our system of mail treatment is the best ever devised, and enables us to cure thousands every year who could not otherwise have been reached by US. It will cost you nothing more than stamp to get our opinion of your case, which may prove valuable indeed to you.
 We will send in plain sealed envel- ope our "Book for Men" and Question List for Pc stamp; Question List for Ladies for % stamp.
 All correspondence will be consid- cred confidential and be kept sacredly inviolate.
