THE SLOGAN REFERS TO THE KANSAS CITY STAR NEWSPAPER PROFILE OF THE DOCTOR AND TO HIS REPUTATION IN THE KC METRO AREA DURING THE DEPRESSION ERA.....

BRINKLEY LOST THE GOP PRIMARY FOR GOVERNOR TO ALF LANDON IN 1934.

A TOUGH ONE TO FIND....THE FEW EXAMPLES OF THIS BUTTON THAT EVER DO SURFACE USUALLY ARE SEEN WITH SPOTS OR CELLULOID CRACKING....THIS ONE IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION!

John R. Brinkley was born July 8, 1885, the only son of country physician John Richard Brinkley and his wife, Candace. An orphan by the age of ten, he was reared by an aunt and had a rather haphazard elementary school education.

After a rather nomadic life as a railroad telegrapher he attended Eclectic Medical College, but never graduated. He was however, able to practice in Arkansas with an undergraduate license and managed to acquire several fraudulent (or questionable) diplomas.

Making use of the reciprocal agreements between states Brinkley settled in Milford, Kansas. There in 1917 he began to transplant the gonads of goats into his aging customers with the promise of sexual rejuvenation.

This financially successful venture allowed him to build and operate one of the first radio stations in Kansas, KFKB (Kansas' First, Kansas' Best). Interspersed with the entertainment programs were ads for Brinkley's secret remedies.

When opposition from the organized medical community resulted in revocation of his radio and medical license he turned to politics. Conducting a vigorous write in campaign for governor in 1930, Brinkley garnered nearly thirty percent of the vote. After two subsequent unsuccessful attempts for the office, also losing the Republican primary to incumbent Gov. Alf Landon in 1934, he shifted his headquarters of operation to Del Rio, Texas, and built what would become radio station XERA in Villa Acuna, Coahaila. He shifted his speciality from gland implants to the prostate gland.

He Leadeth Me


In pastures green?

Not always; sometimes He

who knoweth best, in kindness leadeth me

In many ways where heavy shadows be.

Out of the sunshine warm and soft and bright...

Out of the sunshine into the darkest night,

I oft would faint with sorrow and affright,

Only for this...I know He holds my hand;

so whether in the green or desert land

I trust although I may not understand.

 

And by still waters?

No, not always so;

Ofttimes the heavy tempests round me blow,

And o'er my soul the waters and billows go.

But when the storms beat loudest and I cry

aloud for help, the Master standeth by

And whispers to my soul, "Lo, it is I."

Above the tempest wild I hear Him say,

"Beyond this darkness lies a perfect day.

In every path of thine I lead the way."

 

So whether on the hilltops high and fair

I dwell, or in the sunless valleys where

 The shadows lie...what matters?  He is there.

And more than this, where'er the pathway lead

He gives to me no helpless broken reed,

But His own hand, sufficient for my need.

So where He leads me, I can safely go,

And in the blest hereafter I shall know

Why in His wisdom, He hath led me so.
