AN ENORMOUS RUSH OF GOLD SEEKERS GOING IN. SOUND ADVICB PROM AN INHABITANT. In the rush towards the golden fields of thft Klondyke there are thousands who are ill-fitted to, stand the strain of hardship and exposure which are inseparable from that; trip. Illness, disease, and death is almost certain to claim many of the ill-prepared adventurers. The following letter from one who has undergone the hardships of the trip will prove interesting to those who intend going into the desolata but gold-laden north: — "Skagway, March 1,1898. " Dear Sirs, —My object in writing this lettet is to give a word of advice to those who contemplate going to the Yukon Goldfields. For 10 years I have followed the occupation of prospecting, timber-estimating, and mining, and the hardships and privations which one has to undergo are enough to wreck the strongest constitution. In the spring of 1897 I was stricken with pleurisy, as the result ■of exposure. I recovered from this, bat it left behind the seeds ot disease which manifested themselves in the form of heart and kidney troubles. I managed to reach Vancouver, but did not have much hopes of recovering, I was advised, however, to give Dr Williams' Pink Pills a trial, and at first purchased but two - boxes. Before these were gone I found beyond a doubt that they were helping me, and their continued, use 'put me on my feefc again,' to use a common expression. I then engaged to go to the Yukon country, and only those who have made the trip to Dawson City can form even tho faintest conception of the hardships that have to be borne in making the journey. Before starting I added to my outfit two dozen boxa« of Dr Williams' Pink Fills, and I can honestly say no part of my kit proved of such invaluable service to me, and I would strongly urge every* man who goes id, to take a supply with him, as he will find the need of such a tonic and upbuilder of the system on many occasions. I went in and returned to this place by the Dalton trail, which consists of 350 miles of old Indian trail, starting at Pyramid Harbour. In going over the trail one has at; times to wade through mad more than a foot deep, and ford streams waist-deep in icecold waters. When I started for the Yukon my weight was only 149 pounds, and I now weigh 169 pounds, thanks to Dr Williams' Pink Pills. I am soon starting for another trip to Daw*. son by the same route. This time, however, the travelling will be on snow»hoes,' and you may depend upon it Br Williams' Fink Pills will again form part of my outfit. I write this leter for the twofold purpose of letting you know what your medicine has done for me, and urging those who go in to take a supply with them. Every man, whether he is sick or well, who undertakes the trip to the Yukou will require something to brace him and keep his constitution found in^that country. I may say that my. home is ~ats Copper Cliff, Ont., where my wife now resides. " .".. Yours very truly, . '• '. ■ '■.. ' ' '". . '. V John Piche. . : A remarkable efficacy in 'oaring diseases arie* ing from an impoverished condition of the blood or an impairment of the nervous system, such as rheumatism, neuralgia, partial paralysis, locomotor atazift, St. Vitus's dance, nerrons headache, nervous prostration, and the tired feeling therefrom, the after-effects of la grippe, influenza, dengue fever, and severe colds, diseases depending ou humors.in the blood, such as cerofula, chronic erysipelaf, kc, is posnessed by Dr Williams' Pink Pill* for Pale People, which give a healthy glow to pale and sallow complexions. They are a speeifie for the troubles peculiar to. the female system, and in the case of men they effect a radical core in all cases ariaiog from mental worry, over-work, end excesses of any nature. A trial of this remedy, will convince.the most sceptical. The genuine Dr Williamc'sPink Pills are sold only in woodeni boxes, about 2ia in length, each of which is encirclsd by a blue warnisg label The outside wrapper has the full name, Dr Williams' Pink Pilla for Pale Poople, printed in red. In case of doubt it is better to send direct to the Dr Williams' Medicine Company, Wellington, New Zealand, enclosing the price, 3s a box, or six boxes for 16s 6d. These pills are not a purgative, and they contain nothing that could injure the most delicate,— A dvfc- ";,-■■";. '■;■
