With such words of praise from a man of
DIR. Won Spiegel's standing, a regular physi-
clan, a graduate and member of several uni
yersities, man who has built up an enviable
reputation by his many cures, some of which
have been almost miraculous, we are doubly
encouraged to call the attention of suffering
humanity to the merits of our all-powerful
specifics, The Kickapoo Indian Remedies.
The best known of these is Kickapoo
Indian Sagwa, that greatest of blood puri-
fiers and corrector of all arrangements of the
stomach, kidneys and liver. 1t is purely
vegetable and contains no poisonous ingre-
dents whatever. Thousands are enjoying
healthy, happy, active lives today, who but
for its timely use would now be leading the
miserable life of a dependent cripple, or filling
premature grave, the victims of bad
blood, nervousness, consumption, dyspepsia,
rheumatism, dropsy, kidney and liver
complaints.
Each year 1t becomes better known and
more highly appreciated. Each day hundreds
join the happy ones who have been cured By
Its use and sing its praise.
We want sufferers everywhere to give it q
single trial. You will be convinced of its
merits and bless the day you first heard Of
Sagwa. All druggists sell it.
If you wish medical advice free, write us;
one of our staff of physicians will gladly
give you such information as you may desire.

THE FIRST ROCK SALT MINE.
Its Discovery Was the Result OF Accident
Rather Than Design.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
II really believe that many OF the
greatest discoveries are the result of pure
accident, and this applies not only tt
scientific facts, but also to more material
matters" remarked Gen. Dudley Avery.
Accident brought the great salt deposit
on Avery's Island to light after its crop
pings had been worked for nearly half q
century. NY grandfather sold salt years
before the war, and my father in his
youth followed the same methods of pro
duction, even after his fathers time, but
it remained for my brother John, tn en- a
boy of 16, to really make manifest the re-
markable advantages which the islam d
possessed in the matter of rock salt min
ing. 1t was during the war. Salt was
selling in New Orleans for Sill a sack.
This was at period when the salt works
of the island were not being made use of.
You see, my grandfather manufactured
salt by digging wells, into which the salt
water flowed in great quantities, and this
water he boiled, eyaporating the moisture
and causing residue of fine salt
"When my brother learned of the high
price of salt in New Orleans he went to
my father, then practising law in Baton
Rouge, and suggested that he be given
permission to work the then abandoned
wells and make pin money for himself.
There was no objection, and with the as
sistance Of several slaves John proceeded
to open the old wells by clearing out the
accumulation of debris and boiling the
brine, as his grandfather did years before
him. He opened a number of new wells,
and was soon selling salt at great rate,
but the demand increased, and he decided
to open big well some ten feet square.
The work proceeded, but the usual depth
was reached with no result The water
did not flow. He concluded to dig deeper
and at sixteen feet came upon what the
negro diggers said was an old stump.
Failing to chop the stump with an axe
the negro concluded he had struck bed
of rock, and when my brother descended
into the excavation he managed, with a
cold chisel, to cut out piece of what he
thought was transparent rock. My father,
however, who happened to be on the Is
land at the time, knew what had been
discovered, and in the course Of little
while the wonder of the discovery had
been noised all over the country.
Thus was discovered the first rock salt
deposit in the South, and few months
after that time a dozen shafts were being
worked in crude way, and we were
shipping salt to Richmond in great guam
titles, at least great for that period in the
most steadily since that time, and we are
shortly to begin a new shaft, which will
go deeper than ever; in fact, drop beneath
the old workings, although this is not
necessary, because we can tap the deposit
where we choose. F"

Their knowledge Of the Cura.
tive Properties Of Herbs
considered remarkable.
A noted Professor, DR.. c. Won Spiegel Of
Saratoga, N. u, credits them with
many remedies used by him in effect
ing difficult cures.
Useful hints to many who suffer, where
they might enjoy the Indians pro-
verbal good health and longevity but
for the prejudice Of Ignorance.


The once existing idea that no possible
good or knowledge could be obtained from
an Indian is fast disappearing,
When such man as DR.. c. Won Spiegel
of Saratoga Springs, in an article published
in the daily Saratogian of Sept. IA, states
that he is indebted, not only to the NORTH
American Indians Kickapoos, Cheyennes,
Arapahoes, Pawnees, Apaches, kiowas, Com
anches, etc., but to the many so called uncivil-
lied nations of the most remote corners OF
the globe for his enormous collection and
the knowledge of their virtues, of roots, herbs,
banks, gums and balsams, by whose use he
has effected the most extraordinary cures in
innumerable desperate cases, it would seem
that the world at large should no longer
hesitate to look for help from such simple
but potent agencies = no matter their origin
instead of dragging out miserable lives OF
sickness that is aggravated by poisonous
mineral drugs.
