CONE TO THE kLONOIkE
His Wife With Him.
From An lnvalid's Chair to a Healthy,
Robust Women.

The departure OF E. B. Wood an ]
wife we'll known people Of keokuk, Ia, !,
to the great gold fields in Alaska,
within the past few weeks, has been
the cause Of much discussion.
Certainly the hardships one must en-
dure in reaching that place, are in
Vulnerable, and attendant with much
undertakings. but the hope OF sudden
ly acquiring great wealth, inspire one
to that determination and strength
which is characteristic to only that
class Of people throughout the world
as adventures.
Mr.. Wood, who was until recently,
superintendent of the musical labratory
Of the Atlas Drug Company, keokuk.
Iowa, and being one ever determined
to carry ont and succeed in almost any
undertaking, decided to risk with IN
effort of his life, making his fortune in
that wild and almost uneXp!ored
country. Mrs. Wood, on the other
hand was somewhat adverse to such
an undertaking for several reasons.
The thought of being separated from
her home and friends for period of
not less than two years, and the
possibility Of never returning to this
country alive. were sufficient reasons
for her hesitation. Another was. she
had for the past four years been .
great sufferer from what the doctor
said was an incurable disease Of the
kind which is peculiar to women. Mr.
Wood had spared no pains or expense
in having his wife receive the best
medical aud surgical treatment. Un-
fortunately, however, little had been
accomplished, She suffered more and
more each day. But, having con-
stitution and will power, and also in-
trusting in the Divine creator, that all
would be remedied some day, she still
bore up. Being a great reader. she
had resd everything within her reach
and oftimes she had noticed articles In
the papers concerning the work OF Dr..
Rea, specialist, OF Louisville, Kentucky.
Testimony after testimony had she
read until she decided that il that
wonderful doctor could cure others he
could certainly cure her And seeing
an announcement in the paper that he
would make professional visit
throughout the northwest in about ten
days ard stop in keokuk for one day,
concluded to consult him. The time
passed slowly, but at last the day Of
at an early hour in the day, thinking
that could she get in early she would
avoid the crowd, but in this she was
disappointed, IS there were twenty or
more patients in waiting when she
came. Her time finally came and she
was ushered into his office, by his as
sistant. He made a hurried eXamina-
| tion and pronounced the case decidedly

Mrs. Wood, afterward, in speaking Of
the doctor, said: ''He seemed to look
clear through me and describe my
disease better than | could have told
him myself. His magnetic infieence
and his ability to master the human
mind, was such as to give me con.

once to take his treatment. In ten days

better than had ever expected to fee
again, after having been sick so Ions
and tried so many doctors. At the end
of the fourth month was well
