The most alarming condition con fronting the American people today is our infantile death rate. Statistic compiled from reports of the United States government from the Stats, Board of Health of our largest ponu. lated states, show that about 57 ner cent of our deaths are among childrea under , years of age and 30 Der cen, under ? years of age. Of this 30 nor cent two-thirds or 67 per cent die fri,m Diarrhoae and Enteritis. This means that in a state like Arkansas with an annual death rate of 35, 900, 10, 800 ara children under ? years an1 1000 of these die every year with Bacterial infection of the stomach and bowels ordinarily termed bowel trouble diarrhoae, cholera-infantum, summer complaint, teething troubles, ete Statistics also show that no other nj. sease produces half so many deaths among people of all ages as does this one disease of "Bowel Trouble,, among children under years.
 Appalling as these figures are, how little concern is generally shown in | the preparation of Foous and Reme. l dies in an effort to avoid this greatest i of 4ll death dealing monsters.
 To lessen this great mortality among children should be the aim of both opr national and state government and the effort of every citizen. With this | object in view, arrangements have l been perfected whereby B. 900 Arkan. sas babies, regardless of sex aud col. or, are wanted during the pre-. ent sum. mer of 1909, to make a personal test | of Baby Bowel Germicide that is claimed by the discoverers and manu- | lecturers to produce cures in 70 Der cent of the cases indicating its use. The name of this germicide is Brooks | Baby Bowel Balm," the constituents of which are given as Laxative, Seda- tive, Digestive, Neutralizing, Arc. m atic and highly Antiseptic.
 In order that 9, 900 babies through out the state may each have access 10 at least one bottle, every drug dealer in the state has been notified to lay jn
 an amount to supply the demand, and most of them have done SO, but if tie druggist or dealer called ppou has not the remedy in stock and will nol
 at once obtain it, the name and ad- dress Of such dealer should be fnr
 nished to tine manufacturers who will
 at once arrange for one or more boi- ties to be had at some convenient place, otherwise they will send it from the factory by express prepaid upon
 receipt of 25c each. In this event the express charges will equal or exceed the price received but 1t is intended that every child in Arkansas to the
 number of 25,000 who have not tried
 it shall give it test regardless of
 cost.
 Each Druggist of Dealer selling the remedy is notified to refund the pur-
 chase money without question to ali parents, physic .ans or attendants Of
 the child using it and who are not
 satisfied with results. To all who are

 tained from the trial, the manufac.
