"To the Terrell Well Co., and to all concerned:
/
This certifies that I have been af-
flicted with lumbago, sciatica and
rheumatism for about five years in
a bad form, so that I had to limp
around on my cane-'could hardly
walk and could hardly raise my arm
a part of the time. I tried differ-
ent physicians and different treat-
ments to no avail, received but lit-
tle benefit from anything until I
came to the Terrell hot Well. I
have taken twenty-two baths' and
now feel almost like a new man,
have received more benefit than I
did in the five years from all the
doctors and all the medicine employed in
the five years.
Gentlemen I appreciate your kindness
and the good 1 have received from the Ter-
rell Well water. Hay the Lord bless you in
doing good, and the praise be to the Lord."

Texas Corn
Texas Is a world's force in agricul-
ture. Withdraw our farm producta
from the market and the people of two
hemispheres will go hungry and shiver
with cold. Out of the soil and from
the air our farmers take annually
nearly a billion dollars of Wealth. In
plowing ^ the land the Texas farmers
walk 380,000 miles per annum, whleh
Is equal to traveling around the globe
13,200 times.
J 9/0 VALUE P£B ACRE
The chiet products of Texas In or-
der of their value, as estimated by the
Federal agricultural department for
1010, are cotton, corn, wheat, oats, hay,
rice, potatoes, etc. Cotton as the lead-
ing product is far ahead of its rivals.
Corn occupies second place without
challenge. Wheat and oats have been
disputing for third place, but the sep-
aration this year Is so pronounced that
there can be no longer any contro-
versy over their respective positions, i
An examination of our cereal prod-
ucts dispels the Idea that Texas Is a
one-crop state. In 1910 we harvested
233,000,000 bushels of grafn. Although
a bushel of oats weights less than a
bushel of any other grain, yet there
Is some significance in the total quan-
tity of all cereals produced. Our cereal
belt Is following closely behind the
plow as It turns the virgin soil, and
we have so far found no geographical
limitation placed upon It by nature.
Our corn acreage In 1910 was 8,800,-
000 and production 181,280,000 bushels,
and It had a" farm value of $114,206,000.
This corn was raised in 120 days, mak-
ing an average production of approxi-
mately $1,000,000 per day. We raised
20-6 bushels per acre at a farm valu«
of $12.98 per acre. The corn crop of
1909 and 1910 will purchase the rail-
roads of Texas using the railroad com-
mission's valuation on railroad pro-
erty.
This giant industry has scarcely be-
gun Its development In Texas and the
possibilities of extending the corn
area and Increasing the yield per acre
present a wide field for enterprising
farmers and there are millions of
acres of idle land In the corn belt.
Saved Child From Death.
"After our child had suffered
from severe bronchial trouble for
a year," wrote G. T. Richardson,
of'Richardson's Mills, Ala., "we
feared it had consumption. It
had a bad cough all the time.
We tried many remedies without
avail, and doctor's medicine
seemed as useless. Finally we
tried Dr. King's New Discovery,
and are pleased to say that one
bottle effected a complete cure,
and our child is again strong and
healthy." For coughs, colds,
hoarseness, lagrippe, asthma,
croup and sore lungs, its the most
infallible remedy that's made.
Price 50c ar\d $1.00. Trial bottle

If a man is really reliable he doesn't
have to devote ranch of his time to ex-
ploiting that virtue: you are watched

not.—Atchison Globe.
