The most alarming condition con- fronting the American people today is onr infantile death rate. Statistics compiled from reports of the United States government from the Stat, Board of Health of our largest popu- lated states, show that about 37 per cent of our deaths are among children under years of age and 30 per cent under years of age. Of this 30 per cent two-thirds or 67 per cent die from Diarrhoae and Enteritis. This means that in a state like Arkansas with an annual death rate Of 5, GGG, i0, t,GG are children under years and 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, etc. Statistics also show thas no other di- 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 Foods and Reme- dies in an effort to avoid this greatest Of all death dealing monsters.
 To lessen this great mortality amonp children should be the aim of both our national and state government and the effort of every citizen. With tbis object in view, arrangements have been perfected whereby 25.0O0 Arkan- sas babies, regardless of sex and col or, are wanted during the present sum mer or lsOs, to make a personal test .ot a Baby Bowel Germicide that ia claimed by the discoverers and manu- lecturers to produce cures in 20 ner cent of the cases indicating fla nsa The name of this germicide is i'Broolxs; Baby Bowel Balm, the constitnents of which are given as Laxative. Seda. tive, Digestive, Neutralizing. Aro- m ltic and highly Antiseptic. "
