THE GOLPEN KLONDIKE.

AN ENORMOUS RUSH OF GOLD SEEKERS GOING IN.

SOUND ADVICE FROM AN INHABITANT.

In the rush lowsrds.the golden field* of Iht Kiondyke there »re thousands who are, lll-fitted to stand the 'strain' cf hardship and exposure which are inseparable from that trip. Illness, disease, and -death' is almost certain to claim many of the ill-prepared adveiibarers. The following; letter from o'na ,who has undecgore the hardships ot the trip will prove interesting to ffhese who intend going into the' dssclate bub ■fcold-lafleri "north :— , - "" "Skagway, March 1, 1898. " Dear Sirs, — My objecb in writing this letter ia to give a word o? advice to those who contemplate going to the Yukon Goldfields. For 10 years I have followed the. occupation cf 'prospecting, timber-estimating, and mining, %nh the hardships and privations which one has to Undergo are enough to wreck the strongest; constitution. I a the spring ,of 1897 I was Btricken with pleurisy, as the result cf exposure. I recovered from this,' bub it lsfb behind the seeds ot dieease which manifested themsslveg in tbe form of heart; and kidney troubles. I managed to reach Vancouver, bi\6 did nob have tawjh hopes of recovering. I wag ftdvised, however, to give Dr Williams' Pick Pills a trial, and at first purchased but two boxes. B9fore these were gone I found beyond a ■ doubt that they ware helping me, and their continued . use ' pub me on my feeb again, 9 to use a common expression. I then engaged to go fco the Ynkou country, and only those who hay« msde the trip to Dftwson Ciby can form even the faintest conception of the hardships that have to be borne in makkig the journey. Before starting I added to my outfit two dozen boxes of Dr Williams' Fink Fills, and I can honestly say no part of my kib proved of such invaluable service to me, and I would strongly urge erery man who goss in, to take a supply with him, as h« will find th 3 need of such a tonic and upbuilder of the Eystoin ou many occasions. I went in and returned to this place by the Daltoa trail, which consists of 350 miles of old Indian trail, starting at Pyramid Harbour. In going over the brail one has ab times io wade through mad more than a loot deep, and ford streams waist-deep in icecold waters. When I started for the Yukoa my weight wis only 14-9 pouads, and I now weigh 169 gounds, thanks to Dr Williams' Fink Pills.

I am soon starting for another trip to Di orison by the same route. This time, hffwerer, the travelling will be on snowshoes, and yea may depend upon it 0r Williams' Fink Fills wi.'l Again form part of my outfit. I write this leter for the twofold purpose of Jetbing yoa know whab your medicine has dons for me, and urging those who go in to take a *uppl/ «ith them. Every m&u, whether he is sick or wtll, who xiadcrfcakes the trip to the Yukon will require something to brace him and beep hio constitution sound in that country. I may say thafc my homq , is at Copper Oiiff, Ont., where my wife now resides. Yours very truly, John Fiche

A remarkable efficacy in curing diseases aris< ing from an impoverished condition of tbe bleed or an impairment of the nervous system, .such as rheumatism, neuralgia, partial paralysis, locomotur ataxia, St. Vitus's dance, nervous headache, nervous prostration, and the tired feeling fcherefroin, -the after-effects of la grippe, iaflaen^a, dengue J-ever, and severe colds, diseases depending on humors in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, &c., is posse*aed by Dr Wiliiams' Pink Pills for Pale People, which give a healthy glow to pale and sallow complexions.
