1t has been definitely decided that

p G. Peters, Of Captain, n. n, sent
S 10 Dr. Black in his cell at the

Approves Herald's Stand.
I want 20 enter a years subscrip-
ton for The Herald" said Idus Gillett.
OF Canutillo- I wish that al papers
were as fearless Of the medical trust
as you have been in defending Byron
l. Black. I wish to state that ] am
personally acquainted with the chiro-
-
his Ny mother was cured Of
disease Of p years standing. She
had suffered with sick headaches and
had sought relief Of many, many ply
sictans, none OF whom ever benefited
her Dr. Black cured her without
drugs. in very short time
1t seems 70 me TO be far more OF
e crime that a man should be IN Jail
20 long days just because someone
who is ashamed TO make himself
known has soCEht TO prosecute him.
than that he should practice chiro-
practy.
Who's ResponsfbIef
BE Is not a doctor Of medicine and
I believe that If all our city physicians
are as Intelligent and fair minded as
the Few ! happen 70 know. II is high
time that they were calling a halt
on this thing Let them find the
and throw them in jail before the
whole medical bunch is criticised for
being IN conspiracy 10 ruin this
young man
Or. Black can't get a license in
Texas because the law doesn't recoE-
nize his profession He IS an tntelli-
gent graduate Of the Palmer School
Of Chiropract- at Davenport, Iowa
and until Texas joins the other .
states in enactinE laws that do recog-
nize this science OF healing. I think
that so long as he Is harming none
and curing many, he should be al
lowed 20 practice chiropracty Just as
the Christian Scientist physician, sur
geon or ostecpath practice their
methods"
Baby Suffering for Treatment.
7 want TO thank The Herald for
the stand Il has taken FOR Dr.. Black. I
and TO say that the best people ad-
mire a man or newspaper that stands
for what he knows 10 be right under
all circumstance. said Mrs B. F
Kelley. OF 1901 Bassett avenue
I took my baby boy 10 Dr. Black some
time ago, for paralysis in the right
leg, and. while under his care, he I
gradually improved, but since he I
cant get me adjustments. he is l
getting worse. and I fear that II we
can't do something my baby viii get I
back as bad as he was before he be-
gan the adjustments
For the sake OF suffering human

Three months ago / entered the Of

in a letter to The Herald. and asked
10 be examined, which was cordially
done, and 10 my surprise I found that
was not TO be cross-questioned
about my trouble, as the so-called
lung specialists generally do to
find If they are right But. Instead, ]
I was deliberately told Of my disease
and its location and how Il could be
treated He did not say that he could
cure me In a specified time, as my
ease Is one that takes a definite time
before I can be cured But I can
Justly say that he has cured other all
ments that possessed. such as kid
ney trouble. which three months ago
kept me awake at night ard caused
me a great deal OF pain while at
work and also caused painful sore
eyes. which have improved to such
an extent as TO be noticed BY my &C
luaintances.
