The most alarming condition con. fronting the American people today is our infantile death race. Statistics con- piled from reports of the U s. Govern ment and the State Board of Health of our largest populated states, show that about g per cent of our deaths are among children under years of age and 90 per cent under years of age Of this 30 percent tWo-thirds or 67 per cent die from Diarrhoae and Enteritis. This means that in state like Arkan- sas with an annual death rate of 35, 900, 10, 500 are children under years and 1000 of these de every year with Bac- terial Infection of the Stomach and Bowels, ordinarily termed Bowell Trouble, Diarrhoae, Cholera lnfantum, Summer Complaint, Teething Troubles, etc. Statistics also show that no other disease produces half as many deaths among people of all ages as does this one disease of "Bowell Trouble" among children under years.
 Appalling as these figures are, how little concern Is generally shown in the preparation of Foods and Remedies in an effort to avoid this greatest of all death dealing monsters.
 To lessen this great mortality among children should be the aim of both our national and state government and the effort of every citizen. With this object in view. arrangements have been per fected whereby 25, GOO Arkansas babies, regardless of s aX and color, are wanted during the present summer 1909 to make a personal test of a Baby Bowel Germicide that is claimed by the discov- erers and manufacturers to produce cures in 90 per cent of the cases indi- eating its use. The name of this Germl- eide is Brooks Baby Bowel Balm, v the constituents of which are given as Laxative, Sedative, Digestive, Neutra- lizinp. Aromatic and highly Antiseptic.
 In order that 25, 900 babies through out the state may each have access to at least one bottle, every Drug Dealer in the state has been notified to lay m an amount to supply the demand, and most of them have done so, but Ii the Druggist or Dealer called upon has not the remedy in stock and will not at once obtain it, the name and address of such dealer should be furnished to the manufacturers who will at once arrange for one or more bottles to be had at some convenient place, otherwise they will send it from the factory by express prepaid upon receipt of price for two bottles 25c each. In this event the eX-- press charges alone will equal or exceed inc price received but it is intended that every child in Arkansas to the number of 25, GOO who have not tried It shall give 1t a test regardless of cost.
 Each Druggist or Dealer selling the remedy is notified to refund the pur,, chase money without question to all parents, physicians or attendants oi the child using it and who are not satisfied with results. To all who are satisfied with results and will write to the manufacturers giving their opinion of the remedy and the results obtained from the trial. the manufacturers tc show a due appreciation will at once mail such party, free, a full size z5c box of either Brooks Medicated Bears, Foot Oil or Brooks Little Llver-koo' | Pills, as requested. o.l.
