New Jersey Chemist offers generous supply of the wonderful remedy free. No wonder Mrs. Jackson is anxious to have the whole world know what Dr. Kline's Epileptic Remedy did for her. Doctors tried and failed to help her. Fifteen convulsions in three hours is a terrific experience. But Mrs. Jackson is well now. Read how it all happened. About six years ago I was taken with convulsions. I had fifteen convulsions in about three hours. I had two doctors with me and two others to the hospital and there did for three weeks before I knew where I was. I stayed at the hospital for four weeks. Then my husband and I had several attacks of convulsions. A little over two years ago when I had four very hard convulsions, at one time, a lady friend told me to try anything as I was troubled so severely, I got one bottle and took it and it made me feel a little better, so my husband said to continue trying anything as I was troubled so severely, I never felt better in my life. If this better will help anybody that has that kind of trouble, I hope they will take your Luteleia Remedy, as I believe it will make me very happy. (Signed) Mr. W. G.

His progress, what it is, is imitative. He is vain, easily excited, quick to use violence. If handled carefully and intelligently he makes fairly good farm help. Arm him, train him, and he ceases to display those virtues of obedience and industry. He will no longer be content to farm. He will no longer be obedient to civil authority. We have seen these results from our recent experience with him. We dare not disregard this experience, who live in the South. But on the other hand, if he leaves our southern farms he goes to northern cities and brings with him new problems, social and economic, for you of the north, who least understand him. Itace riots recently in East St. Louis, Chicago, and Washington proves this. Your universal military training plans contemplate the industrial destruction of the Negro race, and imperial our peace, and destroy in many sections of the South its agriculture.
