SOUND ADVICE FROM AN INV HABITANT, la the ’rush "-towards the golden fields of the Klondyke, there are thousaads who are iU-htted to stand^the strain of hardship and exposure, which, are inseparable from that tnp. ; ness, disease and death cerfrom one who has undergone the hardships of the trip, will prove interesting to ihose who intend going into the but north: Jskagway, March Ist, 1898» . Dear Sirs,— My object rin writing this letter is to give a word of advicer to 'those who contemplate: going to the Youkon Goldfields. For ten years I have followed of prospecting, timber-estimating and mining and the hardships and privations which one has to undergo are enough to i wreck the strongest o< ns .tution. In the spring of 1897 I was stricken with pleurisy, as the result °f I recovered from this, but it loft behind the seeds of disease which manifested themselves in the form of heart and kidney troubles. I managed to reach Yancouver htft did not have much hopes of recovering.. I was advised, however , otgiye.Dr WiHiams' Pink Pills for Pale People a trial and at. first purchased but two boxes. Before these were gone I found beyond a doubt . that, they were helping ihe, and their continued use pu me on my feet again to use a common expression. I then engaged to go to the Youkon country and'only those who have made the trip to Dawfcou City can form oven the faintest conception of the hardships t. that have to be borne in making the journey. Before starting I t 0 my outfit, two dozen boxes of Dr Wiliams Pink Pills and I can honestly say ao. part of my kit proved of such inyalimble service to me and I- would strongly urge every man who goes in, to take a supply with him, as he will find the need of such a tonic and upbuilderof 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 Harbor. Jn going over the trail one has at limes to wade
through mild more than a foot deep, , and ford streams -waist-deep in icecold waters. When I started for the Yokon my weight was only 149 pounds and I now weight 169 pounds, thanks to Dr Williams’? Pink Pills. # I.am soon starting for another trip to Dawson by the same route. This time, however, the travelling will be onsnowshoes, and you may depend • upon it Dr. "Williams’ Dink Dills will again form part of my outfit. r I write this letter for the twofold purpose of letting you .know what your’ medicine has done for me, and who go in to take a supply with them. Every man, whether he is Bicfe or well, who undertakes the trip to the Yukon will require something to brace him and keep his constitution . sound in that country. ■ I may say that my home is at Copper Cliff, Ont., where my wife now resides. *v Yours very truly, 1 , JOHN PICHE. These pills are a tonic, not a purgative. They have cured paralysis, locomofcoataxy, rheumatism, and sciatica; also all diseases arising from impoverish ment of the blood, scrofula; rickets, chronic erysipelas, consumption of the ■ howels and lungs, anaemia, pale and sallow complexioUj general muscular weakness, losb of appetite, palpitations, pains in the back, nervous headache, early decay, all forms of female weakness - They are genuine only wiffi c the full name, Dr Williams’ Dink Dills for Pale People, and are sold by chemists and storekeepers generally} or the Dr Williams’ Medicine Company, Wellington, N. Z., who will forward ( Post Paid), on receipt of stamps or post order, one bex for 3s , or half-dozen for 16s 6d. A trial of our remedy‘will convince the most sceptical person of its true worth.
