The broad ax., 1921-02-05


into the round house for repairs, and
this is what has happened TO me, and
I have had almost a complete break
down on this round, and you will see
where 1 am this week getting fixed up
again before starting out, but viii be
discharged by DR.. H. W. Conrad, and
will leave here for other parts. I must
ask you to pray for me that I may
be fully restored to health. If 1 am
not, then it matters not for am ready
for anything that may come to me.
You have been keeping up with me,
but you have not known how I have
suffered on this trip. It started while
I was in Chicago, but kept a stiff
upper lip feeling that it would leave
me. From Chicago, down through Mis-
souri, Kansas, Oklahoma, into Texas.
1t was in Texas that had to give up
and 60 TO a doctor. went to see DR..
Sterling in San Angelo, Tex, and you
will recall 1 said many things about
that place, and enjoyed being there as
well as a sick man could. Then I made
my way across TO Abilene, Tex, and
then to Mineral Wells, Tex, and from
there I made it 10 Fl. Worth. where
I found Dr. y. T. Wallis, with his auto
bile car carriage awaiting my arrival,
TO tote me TO a doctor, and see-if 1 had
to leave here then or remain here on
earth a little longer. He toted me
night on to the Office of Dr.. A. B. BOr-
ders, a product of Meharry College, in
Nashville, and one of the busiest young
physicians, in the city. He took me
in, pulled off all Of my clothes, and
put me through an examination, and
then went right on and got some medi-
cine and got me busy. I tell you there
was but little time lost in getting busy.
Mrs. Wallis, that queen in the home
of DR.. Wallis, had the bed ready for
me, and soon was in il, taking medi-
cine, and I was told to remain in that
bed as long as 1 wanted to, and they
would look after me without money or
cost. That is what call friends, and
it pays to make them.
I was soon out of bed, and headed
for this place, stopping to take some
rest at Oklahoma City, where I found
DR.. Slaughter, and others ready to do
for me. DR.. A. NJ. johnson, looked
after me, as well as he could, also Miss
Florrie D. Pugh, Of the A. NJ. E.
Church. Dr.. Smith, a worker in the
Baptist Church. It seemed that all the
people wanted to do something for me.
I did not realize that had so many
friends until I got sick. Mrs. Emma B.
Gordon, who was at one time Miss
Emma B. Derrick, of Alabama, one Of
the finest domestic science teachers in
America, was ready to do her part, as
well as Miss Luella Lawson, teacher.
But Oklahoma City lost its charms, for
me, for I had decided to make to the
greatest physician our race has in
America, DR.. H. W. Conrad.
Speaking of DR.. II. W. Conrad, it
seems that God just put him here to be
doctor, and he is one believe me
honey. His father before him was a
real doctor in Louisville, KY, and H.
W. is now the son of his father. He is
now a man of worth to the nation.
He does not make much fuss, but he is
a busy man all the time. He just gets
that pipe in his mouth when he is not
looking after the sick, and he is search
ing and reseraehing for information
along the line of his profession, or to
see what the world is doing. he is q
great reader, and believe me when I
tell you there is not a better posted
man in the country, than this young
man, from way down in Kentucky.
If you should ask him how he got out
here, he would never be able TO tell you,
for he enjoyed luxurative practice in
Louisville, but God Just wanted him
out here where he was needed. Then
he directed him right to the spot where
he could render the greater service for
his people. He has on his place a well
whose waters viii cure you Of many
things, and then he Is prepared by
training to locate all kind of pains and
aches, and then send the stuff right to
the spot that viii do the work. 1 have
told you about him before. His wife
has been at work right by his side, but
she has failed in health, and for that
and other reasons the Park Sanitarium
has been closed for two months, but
viii open the last of February or early
in March, and already there are many
applications for place 70 be treated.
DR.. Conrad is night now looking after
the sick, but he is not treating them
at his place yet
When this old engine backed up, he
met me at the door and told me that
he was not receiving any patients, be-
cause his wife was sick but told him
I was too, and could not leave. he
looked at me and then invited me in,
and when once in I remained inside
Once inside he ushered me into his
