A great demand. The great est demand of the age is higher plain of service for the sick and afflicted. Justice demands it, and the people will demand 1t before many decades. Too many of our little folks, and on up in- to the prime of life are passing from this earths plane, from the little spoon to the pick and shovel just common diseases of the country. Why so ma ny prema- ture death, in the name of truth and justice to bereaved families why is it so. Inyalids, and old chronic cases of long standing and lots of them can be found all over this great country of ours. and is sufficient evidence for the people to demand a bet ter and higher plain of service for the sick and afflicted Truth is mighty and will prevail. l want it distinctly understood that am not down on drugs but the improper use of them. Dr. Betts the so called humbug has a right and good grounds for being proud of his record of success in healing so many bad complicated diseases that other humbugs had complet- ly failed on, also morphine and other habbits completely cured. The need of a drugless sanitarum in south Arkansas is becoming more evident. Write for testi- monies. Examination free, Af- hicted ones, if you want health and happiness, come and get 1t before it is all gone.
