A WORD OF CAUTION.

SEATTLE, Wash, July 22.-Fred
Price, a Seattle man who has returned
from the Clondyke with several thou
sand dollars in gold dust, says there is
great danger of suffering on the part
CT those who attempt to go into that
country without an abundant supply of
T. DIVISIONS. He does not believe the
trading companies can begin to supply
the demand which will be made on them.
Price thinks the men who take up horses
to cross the pass from Dyea will do well.
They can get their provisions in easy
that way and cell the horses for dog
meat afterwards.
He also advises new corners to look
for claims OH other creeks besides the
tributaries Of the Clondyke. the latter
beng pretty we'll staked out. Stewart
river creeks promise as we'll as the
Clondyke. He says further that gamb-
ling dens and dance houses have already
opened in Dawson. Games of every de-
scription are running, and some of the
miners play very heavily. They go into
the mining town in sheer desperation at
the loneliness and gloom of the winter
and gamble recklesSly to break the mon
otony. Price says it is hard to get along
in Dawson City on less than $50 a day,
and many of the men spend ten times
that much. He claims one saloon
cleaned up 0C0 in three weeks this
summer

A TRIBUTE
OF SCIENCE.
Synopsis Of a most Remarkable
Lecture Delivered Before the
Ninth Medical Congress, by
DR.. A. L. A. Toboldt, Of tbs
University Of Pennsylvania.

The famous fountain of health
at Carlsbad, in Bohemia, which
has been the refuge of invalids
for five centuries, is certainly
we'll worthy of careful study.
My experience with this reme-
dialagent has been such that i
may truly say that no remedy
which l ever employed has given
me SO much pleasure and profit
as this particular one. Selecting
a number of chronic hypochon-
driacs, whose Affections have
baffled all my previous efforts as
my subjects, l was truly aston
ished to note that, although no
rigid diet was prescribed, and
cnly limited amount of exercise
was indulged in, I obtained most
remarkable results-the complex
ion, even after a weeks use,
began to clear up, the step be.
came more firm and elastic, and,
what was more, the entire host
of hypochondriacal complaints,
seemed to vanish like mist.
DR.. Toboldt's lecture, with
table of cases treated, will be
mailed to any address upon ap-
plication to the agents of the
