Washington-co. Arkansas Review.


Glorious old Arkansas, the north
western portion Of which has been so
happily designated "The Land OF the
Big Red Apple, "is feeling the impulse
of new life, and those who are BEST
acquainted with her wonderful natur-
al resources, which have scarcely be-
gun to be developed, believe that the
next few years will witness revival
of commercial activity and an era OF
prosperity almost without'aparallel IN
the history Of the states. 1t is begin
ming to dawn upon her people that the
millions upon millions of dollars which
the eastern manufacturers make oy
working up Arkansas cotton and otn-
er raw materials into the finished pro-
ducts may just as well be kept right
here at home if the proper Induce
ments are offered to manufacturers TO
locate industries in the state
This would benefit both the produc-
ers and the manufacturers, as
the latter could pay higher pri-
ces, for the raw material, and still in
crease their profits by cutting out the
tremendous transportation to the fac
tories.
1t is peculiarly fitting that at this
transition period from the old to the
new, our state should be visited by an
organization of the magnitude and pro-
pressiveness and prominence OF the
IGerman-American staff OF Physicians
and Surgeons which are now located
at Fayetteville. This staff OF special
lists well illustrates the development
which has taken place in the last few
years in every science as we'll as in ev-
cry department of industry. 1t illus
trates the difference between the So
called astronomy which taught that
the sun revolved around the earth, and
that the science of astronomy as de-
veloped by the modern telescope,
which tells us that the sun is CEN
ter of system of worlds, and that
there are other suns and other sys-
TENS. 1t illustrates the difference be-
tween the old fashioned stage coach
that used to rumble over our native
5 hills, and the modern express train
that shrieks through mountains and
across valleys at lightning speed, ELI
minating time and distance. More i'm
portant than all, it illustrates the diff
ference between the old time doctor
who rode about on horseback with his
saddle bags full of calomel and quinine
and the modern hospital with its corps
of trained specialists, assisted by ev-
ery known agency in the treatment OF
disease.
The people of Arkansas are begin
ning to See the advantages of employ
ing the new methods and making use
of everything that is up to date, and
that is why they are rolling into Fay
etteville from all the neighboring and
surrounding country to test the skill
4 Of the German American staff of Ply
ySicians and Surgeons. Many OF them
have peddled out their money among
their home doctors without relief and
have tried in vain to find help by the
use of patent medicines and "cure alls. "
They now recognize that their disease
will never be cured by chance, but that
the latest and best treatment, intelli-
gently administered will do the work
III cure is pOssibl
The fact that these specialists are
graduates from the best medical col
legeS in the world, travel in their own
SD lcial train of four cars and carry a
car load of instruments, leaves nc
doubt as to their skill and ability.
There is no hospital or medical or
ganization anywhere that combines
the wisdom Of the four Allopathic'

members Of this staff are drawn from
those various schools OF medicine, and
