Administration building of Southern Baptist Sanatorium for treatment of
tuberculosis patients, located 4500 feet above sea level. ^
Do you know that tuberculosis' is
more prevalent in the South than in
any other part of the country?
That the death rate from tuberculo
sis here is 14.2 per cent greater than
for the nation as a whole, and greater
than in an)' civilized nation on the
globe with the exception of China?
That more than 160 people a day, or
67,782 a year, die in the South and
the Southwest from this dreaded dia-
ease?
That there are within the territory
of the Southern Baptist Convention
276,000 persons actively infected with
the great white plague and an equal
number have inactive infection?
That the money loss to the South
each year from tuberculosis is $176,-
000,000?
These startling facts were brought
to the attention of the Southern Bap-
75 Million Campaign this institution
will receive $500,000 for the erection,
of additional buildings and $500,000
for an endowment that * will enable
the sanatorium to minister to those
Indigent patients who are unable to
pay for treatment.
That there ig an imperative need
for an institution of this character
is shown In the fact that all institu
tions in the South and Southwest for
the treatment of tuberculosis have a
total capacity of only 8,757 beds, or
one bed for only one person out of
every aixty in thla section who are af
flicted.
Everything connected with the Bap
tist Sanatorium is modern and of the
very best, but its present equipment
is far too small to cope with the de
mands that are made upon it. Of the
improvement fund that is to be* pro
vided, $100,000 is available already

to try and check the spread of the
disease and provide relief as far as
possible for those already Infected
with it.
As a result of this movement there
was established in the high, cool, rare
atmosphere of El Paso, Texas, the
Southern Baptist Sanatorium which
will be constructed just as rapidly as
possible.
While the sanatorium is being op
erated by the Baptists, it will be open
to the people of all creeds and no
creed. Due to the crowded conditions,
however, it is necessary that arrange

The sanatorium is under the gen

T is characteristic of
folks after they past the allotted
“three score years and ten." to look
back over the days ihat are gone
and thoughtfully live them over.
X And myself, at seventy-one, frequently
drifting back a quarter of a century, when
I see myeelf in the little drag store 1 owned
at Bolivar, Mo., making and selling a
vegetable compound to my friends and
eustomers—what was then Known only as
X>r. Lewis’ Medicine for Stomach, Liver
and Bowel Complaints. %
For maqy yoars while I was perfecting my
formula I studied and investigated the
laxatives and cathartics on the^market and
bseame convinced that their main fault
was not that they did not act on the bowels,
bqt that their action was too violent ana
drastic, and upset the system of the user;
whieh was due to the fact that they were
not thorough enouhh in tneir action, some •
simply acting on the upper or small intes
tines, while others would act only on the
lower or large intestines, and that they
almost invariably produced a habit re
quiring augmented doses.
I believed that a preparation to produce
the best effect must firatr tone the liver,
then acton the stomach and entire alimen
tary system. If this wsx accomplished, the
medicine would ' prcdfuce a mild, but
thorough elimination of the waste without
.the usual sickening sensations. and make
the user feel better at once.
After^experimenting with hundreds of
different compounds, I at last perfected (he
formula that is now known as Matpe's
■smsdy, which I truly believe goes further
and doee more than any laxative on the
market today. The thousands of letters
from users have convinced me I was right,
and that the user of NsSarv’s Remedy as a
family medicine, even though he may have
used it for twenty-five years, never has
to increase the dose.
My kpowledge of medicine and the re
sults of its use in my own' family and
among my friends, before I ever offered it
for sa1e,_caused me to have great faith in
from the very first. ^ -
And now as I find myself nearing the age-

It is a consoling thought, my friends, for
a man at my age to feel that aside from
his own success, one has done something
for his fellow man. My greatest satisfac
tion, my greatest happiness todav, ia the
knowledge that tonight more than one
million people will take a Nature’s Wsmsdy

be one of them.
