PROMINENT EDITOR OF
WALOROA, ARK. CONVERTED
S1tOO SAFE HIS LETTER.
Waldron, Ark, Oct. 8, 1909.

Waldron, Ark, Oct. 8, 1909
Mr.. VIM. Brooks, Prop,
Brooks Med. Co, kusseilville. Ark.
My Dear Sir: For several weeks
I have 0eeh intending TO write you in re-
gard to your Baby Balm.
If you remember, when yon were
here this sum3ler | told you that our
baby was sick. He was then having
his third attack of bowel trouble this
summer. They We're very severe.
The first two were exceedingly alarm
ing and | suggested to my wife tat
we try your remedy, but she was pre-
| JUDGED against patent medicine, SO
was l., bat | knowing you, gave me
confidence to some extent, (pardon the
modified clause.
In the last case however my wife
agreed to try your Baby Balm.
went to my doctor and told him that |
wanted to try it. He said that he did
not know what it contained but to
give it trial. We did, and it worked
like a charm. Now my wife will not
be without it and the baby has not had
bad case with his bowels since we
began using it.
You know how parents are about the
baby. We watch him and if any
trouble is indicated Brooks Baby
Bowel Balm is put into service prompt
ly and it has not failed to keep him
straight so far.
| have been at the drug store here
on different occasions when parties
come in for baby medicine and | just
cant land don't try to keep from
''buttin in and telling them to get
your Baby Balm. Just night before
last man came into the drug store
here to get badly medicine. My wife
says tell him to get Baby Balm, "
but he had already learned It's worth
and that was what he was after.
You yourself know that have al
ways found objection to the publishing
of patent med cine advertising in my
paper and | never thought would be
a person to write recommendation
for patent medicine, but | coulG
hardly resist In this casa. since feeling
the great benefits received from your
Baby Balm.
Very respectfully yours,
W. T. Baker.
The above is one one of the thou
sands of unsolicited lerters received in
support of Baby Balm and this baby Is
one of the 60, 600 Arkansas Babies test
ing Baby Balm last year, among which
was not a single failure or complaint.
Mr.. Baker IS Editor and Proprietor
Of the Advance Reporter of Waldron,
Ark, one of the largest and best
weekly newspapers in the state. His
letter is given space because of his
known prejudice against patent medi-
cines.
The manufactures offer $1,000 for q
formula or prescription producing Z
greater percent OF cures than Baby
Balm. They also offer $l00 for a case
of bowel infection in children that will
not yield to Baby Balm if given under
specific directions from beginning.

is adopted and factories built
here there would be thousands
of hands brought into our midst.
Their personal property would
be assessed just as any one else.
Their poll taxes would have to
be paid and their appetites ap-
peased. 1t is a plain proposition.
do YOU want Arkansas to come
to the front as a manufacturing
State, or do you want her to re-
tain her present back seat in
this industry?
Some call Amendment No. II
class legislation. Call it what
you please, it is up to US to offer
something that money may be
put in cotton mills here.
The greatest resource of the
South is its cotton crop and will
continue. unless the weeyil de-
thrones it. Southern fields alone
furnish three.quarters of the en-
tire cotton produce in the world.
1t is estimated that its output
for one year is worth more than
the worlds output in gold for
two years. It's value to civiliza-
ton can be realized when we
consider that our exports of cot
ton to European countries for the
last fiscal year amounted to $50
million dollars. King Cotton
stands at the head Of the list.
The South furnishes rs per
cent of the worlds cotton crops,
yet she manufactures less than
10 per cent. From an economic
standpoint we would expect to
find the factories as near where
the raw material is found as is
possible. Look where the iron
and steels works are situated.
The great flour mills of the
world as a rule, are found in
close proximity to the great
wheat fields, but such conditions
do not obtain in regard to cotton.
The double freight rate is added
to the finished product. 1t is
easy to see we would have some
by having the manufacturing
plants nearer. Within the last
few years the manufacturer of
cotton has increased considerably
in some of the Southern States
that have offered a similar in
ducement to No II. The North
naturally wants to keep the
cotton mills north of the cotton
states, hence Northern capital
refuses to invest in Southern
cotton mills. It is therefore an
evident fact some inducement
must be offered to bring out
Southern capital that the South
may come into possession OF
what is rightfully her own. Let
US give both the amendments

make our country great, why not
offer capital some inducement to
come to the front especially when
it costs us nothing. as in this
case? To vote it down would
not put one dollar in our pockets,
neither would its adoption take
one out. Incase the amendment

As usual With the sacred places of
Palestine, both Greek Catholics and the
Roman Catholics have a Garden of
Gethsamane. 1t Is entirely possible that
the original garden embraced both of
these sites. We went to the Roman
Catholic one, which is lower down than
the Greek Catholic, and would seem to
be the more probable place of the agony.
This consists Of a garden 800 by 200 feet
walled in and eight very old olive trees.
one Of which is said to be the very tree
under which the Savior prayed. OF course
no one can tell. We cannot even be sure
of the exact spot where the garden was
after 1900 years The most that can be
said is that somewhere around here II
not exactly here. occurred the agony in
the garden, and that this may have been
the Identical tree under which 1t occur
red. These olive trees live to a very
great age, we know. Or If not the iden-
tical tree, then 1t is probably lireal de-
scendant OF that tree. There are seven
others of these olive trees in the garden
all old, but only this one is supposed to
be 1900 years old.
They also show the place where this
disciples slept and where Judas kissed
him. This, Of course. is all speculation.
In a glass case there have been gathered

THE LFPERS.
AS we came out from the Garden OF
Gethsamane there were a number Of lep-
ers sitting by the roadside. They were
not there when we went in. Evidently
some one had told them about a party
having gone into the garden, and they
came out to meet us. What loathsome,
repulsive creatures they are, sitting with
their backs to the walls, hands or nose
or other parts of the body eaten off. with
metallic voices begging aims. Ughl 1t
almost made us sick TO look at them. And
then when they would come towards us.
we felt like giving them all the money in
our pockets If they would just keep away.
for their touch Is death. They know the
dread which strangers feel for them and
take advantage Il that fact to extort
aims. So far as 1 was concerned,
though, have never seen any beggars TO
whom I gave more gladly.
Fit type is leprosy of sin, so loathsome.
so repulsive, so incurable. Leprosy has
been cured by only One. And He Is the
One, the only One, who can cur sin. But
He does and can cure sin as well as lep-
rosy. He "taketh away the, sin Of the
