The Holly Grove Man Writes of His Impress sion of Las, Nights
 Speaking.

Holly Grove, Ark. Sept. 2, 1910 Dear ARGUS:
 We'll, Old Pard, we came over to Brinkley to hear the great Commoner, an',we heard him.
 Now, you're goin' to ask how I liked it. I will tell you, Pard, I was somewhat disappointed that the magnificent man did not make magnificent speech. Yes, the speech lacked of expla- nation. and logic, as well as dignity to be expected from the man Bryan.
 We ain goin' to 'cuse the man. but it seemed that Bryan had stole sum of Jeff Davis thunder, and his speech sounded of 'rag-time. v
 The principal things MT. Bryan said were a few neat jokes, and that he was for Amendment No. 10, and that Judge Rose, of Lit tie Rock. was against it.
 In fact it seemed like the special train crowd just ex- pected their enthusiasm to sway the crowd, and that everything would be taken for granted.
 The enthusiasm, however, was limited, and such enthusiasm as was manifested was more for the man Bryan. than the Amend ment No. 10, if l am any judge of same.
 All who know Bryan. concads him to be one of the greatest of men, yet it seemed to me. Old Pard, that I could see the effects of his many defeats on his ex- preSsion. His defects and dis appointments have turned some of his mellow sweetness into gall and bitterness. And the man of 1896, who was met at one place by four bands and an escort of l6 white horses and one red representing his 16 to l" idea, now it seems would enforce, rather than persuade the people.
 It does not have to be proven that Bryan is great and even a

PROMINENT EDITOR OF WALDRON, ARK,
 CONVERTED.
$lloo SAFE.--HIS LETTER.

Waldrom, Ark, Oct. 9, 1909. Mir. Wm. Brooks, prop,
 Brooks Med. Co.,, Russellville,
 Ark.
 My Dear Sir: For several weeks I have been intending to write you in reguard to your Baby Balm.
 If you remember, when you were here this summer told you that your baby was sick. He was then having his third attact of bowel trouble this summer. They were very severe The first two were exceedingly alarming and I suggested to my wife that we try your remedy, but lshe was prejudice against patent medicens, so was I, but, 1 I/know- ing you, pave me confidence to some extent, [parqon the modi- fled claue.]
 In the last case Mwever my wife agreed to try your Baby Balm. l went to my doctor and told him that wanted to try it. He said he did not know what it contained but to give it a 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 bow els 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 promotly and it has not failed to keep him straight so far.
 have been at the drug stores here on different occasions when parties come in for baby medi- cine and I just can't (and don't try) to keep from ''buttin' in' and telling them to get your Baby Balm. Just night before last a man came into a drug store to get baby medicine. My wife says tell him to get Baby Balm,'' but he had already learned its worth and that was what he was after.
 You yourself know that l have always found objection to the publishing of patent medicine advertising in my paper apd l never thought thAtI woya be a person to write recommenda- tion for a patent medicine, but could hardly resist in this case, since feeling the great benefits received from your Baby Balm.
 Very respectfully yours,
 w. E. BAKER.
 The above is one of the thous- ands of unsolicited letters receiv- ed in support of Baby Balm and this baby is one of the W,OOO Arkansas Babies testing Baby Balm last year, among which was not a single failure or com plaint.
 MT. Baker is Editor and Pro- prietor of the Advance Reporter of Waldron, Ark. one of the largest and best weekly news papers in the state. His letter is given space here because o1 his known prejudice against patent medicines.
 The manufacturers offer $lOOV for formula or prescription pro- ducing a greater per cent or cures than Baby Balm. They also offer Sl00 for a case of bow el infection in children that VIII not yield to Baby Balm if given under specific directions from beginning.
