DR.. Hartmans Prodigious Correspond
ence Is Furnishing the People Free
Medical Advice.
The remedy Pe-ru-na was originally
DR.. Hartmans private prescription. An
imense demand for this remedy sprang
up outside his regular practice. This
soon led to the establishment of a med1-
cal mandatory to produce Pe-ru-na In
large quantities. People were eager TO
get 1t north, east, south and west. The
doctor began to write books and pamph-
let's to teach the people exactly how to
use Pe-ru-na. These were supplied by
the million, without charge, but many
people preferred TO write DR.. Hartman,
asking for his wise counsel. Letters
came by the hundreds. This led to his
establishing his present system of free
correspondence. Through a number OF
assistant physicians, with quite little
army of stenographens, clerks, typewr1t-
ers and rapid penmen, this immense cor
respondence is carried on. Everybody
receives a prompt reply, entirely conf
dential,, without charge.
Pe-ru-na has been found by the multi
tude to be the best, If not the only, inter-
nal remedy for catarrh. Catarrh of the
head, the throat, catarrh of the stomach,
the liver, The lungs, catarrh OF the kid
neys, catarrh of the pelvic organs, sys-
temic oatarrh-Pe-ru-na cures all these.

ron, tie Gazette C.ompaion, III.

At the advanced age Of eighty.fve years,
james McMillen, Of liz West Washington
street, is one Of the most active men in Cham
paigl, Illinois. Mr.. McMillep is pioneer
citizen Of the city, and his form Is as familiar
on the streets as that of any citizen of the
town. All his life Mr.. NcAillec has fol-
lowed the trade of shoemaker, and every day
finds him at his bench, bending over his work
with apparently the same vigor he COM
manded when he was q young man.
He has little shop on North Wright street,
In the vicinity of the University Of Illinois,
and he Is the official shoemaker, as it were,
for the students of that institution.
About year ago Mr.. AcMillen was absent
from his bench for several weeks, and his
familiar form was missed along the streets.
The local newspapers announced that he
was dangerously i'll. For months he was a
sufferer, but finally he appeared again at
his shop, and has lost but very few days
since then and none, perhaps on account Of
him out again, and they were more surprised
when he told them the cause of his recovery.
There was no small amount of local inter-
est in his case, and a reporter visited him,
to have him relate the story.
II feel" said the spry old gentleman,
that I owe my life to DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. Something like q
year ago it appeared to me that was almost
q physical wreck. 1 was suffering from q
disease of the kidneys. A thick scurf had
formed on the bottoms of my feet and my
ankles were terribly swollen and infamed
In fact, they reached such q condition that !
could not walk, and it looked as though my
days we're numbered.

II read in the Newspaper testimonials from
people who claimed to have been cured Of

Pink Pills for Pale People, and thought that
it would do me no harm to give them trial.

began taking them according to directions.
It may seem strange, but it is a fact that

as black as tar and / noticed at the same
time that the pain and soreness were leav.

"A few days later the swelling began to 60

at the shop. / think took from four to five

for . fine day 70 cross the Divide"
The Psssais passable onlyon fine days
and they are very rare. Wages at the
Klondyke are $500 day. Every
body has lots of money, and the finds
are very rich.
I hear they are going to send out
every man who has not "grub" enough
to keep him until next July. There
is little or no food to be had for money.
You must take all you need with you,
and it is matter of self preservation
to see that no men are there who will
either have to come on your supplies
or starve to death.
A teamster, whom l know, has been
sent out Of the country for making an
exorbitant charge for carrying corpse,
and an Indian was shot for not fulfill
ing his contract in packing. These
are interesting little episodes that add
diversity to the monotony of the trip.
l hear also that the steamer, Mexico,
was sunk on her last trip down, but
all hands were saved. There is not
more than the usual risk Of shipwreck,
however, in coming to Juneau.
I have just obtained the following
list of an outfit for year from Mr..
Behrends. Of course, many prices
may vary somewhat. Flour and bacon
are both rising in price ct this time,
but these goods can be obtained in
Juneau, and at prices approximating
these mentioned:
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1897-09-02

dogs are useful n winter, and are
worth from one to two hundred dol ]
lars apiece ID the Yukon. But rem
ember you must carry food for them.
Arrived at Juneau, you will find
large ablishments at Behrends,
Decker Brothers, Koehler & James
and other merchants, and competition
keeps prices down to reasonable pro-
fits and gives The. purchasers chance.
Hotels here range from one to two
dollars day. The one dollar q day
house is favored by Yukoners. After
day or two in juneau fitting out, you
go in small local steam boats, or as
many are doing, take a row boat to
Skagway, or to Dyea. This is about
a hundred miles. Skagway is only
about five miles from Dyea and leads
over the White Pass. This route is
not, I believe, practicable at present
but will be shortly, when the corduroy
across swamp is completed. By this
route horses pack outfits from salt to
fresh water and when this is practic-
able the hard work of the trip will be
overcome. The rest is only boating
that is in the summer. OF course, in
winter the whole way is on the ice.
The route by Dyea, the only one prac-
ticable at present, leads over the Chill
koot Pass. The Pass is very steep
but the steep part is only half mile
or so, and since women, children and
babies have gone in numbers, think
men need not trouble much about that
part.
Reaching Dyea, your things are
placed on the shore, and you have to
hustle to get it above high water mark
or the incoming tide will drown your
stuff. At Skagway, I am told, there
is small wharf. It costs ten dollars
to go from Juneau to Dyea or Skag
way. At present, understand, they
charge II cents pound to pack from
Salt water to the top OF Chilkoot Pass.
Horses take it part of the way and In
dams pack it over the Pass. Men and
horses are making fortunes packing.
There is SO much to be packed at the
present time that it cannot possibly be
carried oyer before the lakes freeze,
and many will have to return or camp
up there, eating up their provisions.
The lakes freeze in September but the
river will not carry until December so
there is no possibility of getting on
until midwinter. The Yukon flows at
seven or eight miles an hour. No per-
sons should start now until December,
and March or April is soon enough.
Every man should bring money
enough to take him home again, for
many turn back, when they see what
gold mining means and strong, men I
am told sat down and cried, and out
fits that cost hundreds were sold for
as many tens of dollars and the own
ers went home sadder but wiser men.
I do not advise any not to come for I
value my advice too highly to waste it
on those know will not take it. So
1 say, come along you soft fellows; you
will be sure to get something at any
rate, if it be only blisters and back
ache. If you get no gold, you will get
golden value in experience.
In winter, you may have to wait at
the Chilkoot Pass for days or weeks
