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 /, but | knowing you, gave me
confidence to some extent, (pardon the
modified clause
In he last ease however my wife
agreed to try your Baby Balm. |
went to my doctor and told him that
wanted to try il, He SAID that he did
not know what it contained but to
give II 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 1t.
You know how parents are about the

straight so far.

on different occasions when parties
come in for baby medicine and | just
can't land don't try to keep from

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 i IS worth
and that was what he was after.
You yourself know that | have al
ways found objection to the publishing
of patent medicine advertising in my
paper and never thought would be
a person to write a recommendation
for patent medicine, but | could
hardly resist IN this case, since feeling
the great benefits received from your
Baby Balm.
Very respectfully yours,
W f. 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 so, 900 Arkansas Babies test
ing Baby Balm last year, among which
was not 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 Estate. His
letter is given space because of his
known prejudice against patent medi
cines.

on dog stories, SO | asked,
(Which dog story?''
That one, you know, that
Buffalo Bill tells about Roose-
welt hunting bear in Colorado. 1t
seems that he hired a man and
dog, but neither seemed to be
very successful in getting him
the desired bear. At last he lost
patience, and enquired: Isn't
there a dog to be had in this
country?"
"Oh, yes-Smith down below

the Mountains. y
well, go and get him. urged
the presidential hunter. Let's
see if we can have some sport
with bear.
Smith won't hire his dog.
Tell Smith to come along and
join the party for hire or on any
terms he likes. " The story runs
that the guide departed ard re-
turned with the report of non
success. Mr.. Roosevelt's impa-
tience took on tinge of Vexa-
ton, and he went himself to Sc
cure the adamantine Smith and
his valuable dog.
This is Mr.. Smith. | under
stand you have a fine bear dog,
Mr.. Smith,
None better in the Rockies"
was the assurance.
Cant hire him or buy
him.

not sell the dog for no price you

MUST Be NEARLY DONE

A messenger boy was told to
deliver a telegram to a certain
Chicago minister on a Sunday
morning at the hour when the
preacher was in the pulpit.
The boy gained entrance tothe
vestry door and he was at a loss
to know how to reach the minis
ter, who was in the midst of his
discourse. He finally succeeded
in attracting the attention of one
of the ushers, to whom he
whispered.
How long has that guy been
preaching%
About 30 years, said the ush-
er.
Well. | guess I'll wait. He
must be nearly DONE" said the
