A CALIFORNIA
MINERS STORY
The Experience Of Man Who Worked
with the Bonanza Kings.
FLOOD, MACKEY, AND o'BRIEN

When gold was first discovered in Califor-
mia it attracted men in all walks of life. The
young man in his homage, the old man in
his dotage. were among the adventures after
the precious metal. One of the first essen
tals to the gold hunter was good constitu-
tion. Eli Fisk. OF ,Anacostia. started with
one, but returned wreck. His story can
best be told in his own words 1t was in 1874,
when l was working in the Con-Virginia
mines, that my troubles first began, and /
would not accept all the money OF the bo-
nanza kings and go through the same expe-
rience again. From simple indigestion ac-
ccmpanied by constipation, my trouble de-
veloped into chronic inability to take SUBJ
stantial food. For nineteen years suffered
constantly, frequently being prostrated by
spells of heart palpitation. This condition
continued until year ago. when returned

having had an unusually severe attack OF

In the West and had lost faith. My sister.
with whom lived, insisted on my going to
see DIR. Walker, as she knew several people
he had cured after other physicians had pro-
nounced their case hopeless; and finally
consented. The result Of that visit can be
best understood by the statement that when
1 was carried into DIR. Walkers office /
weighed 101 pounds. and now, with my
strength and health fully restored, / weigh
163 pounds. This is but one of many cases
cured by DR.. Walker afte- being abandoned
by other physicians. DR.. Walker treats all
diseases of chronic nature, and addresses
himself in particular to those unfortunates
who have tried to get well and through re-
peated failures have become discouraged.
Although Or. Walkers practice is large
and extensive. and steadily increasing, and
his time is in constant demand, he has al
ways firmly adhered to his system OF small
fees. He never makes charge of any kind
for consultation, examination, or advice
This places the wonderful benefit of his great
skill within the reach OF all. In addition to
the large number Of callers he sees daily. he
yet finds time to ahsw3r personally the many
letters he constantly receives from out-of-
town sufferers WHO seek his aid or advice
DR.. Walker makes it an ironclad rule TO only
accept for treatment those cases he KNOWS
he can cure. Others are candidly told their
condition and sent away.
Young or mddle-aged men suffering from
the effects Of their own folies, vices, ex-
cesses, or men contemplating marriage who
are conscious OF any impediment or dis
qualification or those who feel their youth
full vigor and power declining. should consult
DIR. Walker, who has been the means OF re-
storing hundreds of such unfortunates to
health, strength and happiness.
His well-known rsanitarium at All Penn
sylvania avenue. adjoining Willard's Hotel,
is open daily for consultation and treatment.
