Those Who Endure

The pains of rheumatism should be reminded that cure for this disease may be found in Hoods Sarsaparlla. The experience of those who have taken Hoods Sarsaparilla for rheumatism and have been comple tely and per manently cured, prove the power of this medicine to rout and conqeuer this disease. Hoods Sarsaparilla is the One True Blood Purifier and it neutralzes the acids which causes the aches and pains of rheumatism. This is why it absolutely cures when lini- ments and other outward applications fail to give permanent relief. Be sure to get Hoods.

Marvellous Results.

From a letter written by Rev. J. Gunderman of Damondaie, Mich, we are permitted to make this extract: I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. Kihg's New Discovery, as the results were almos morveions in the case of my wife. While l was pastor Of the Baptist church at River Junction she was brought down with pneumonia succeeding lagrippe. Terrible parox- ysms of coughing would last hours with little interruption and it seemed that she could not survive them. A friend recommended Dr. Kings New Discovery. It was quick in it's work and highly satisfactory in results. Trial bottle free at J. E. Hafbert's drugstore. Price soc and Sl.

Geology of the KlCndike.

A recent explorer in part of Alaska as far removed from the newly discoy- cred Klondike region as Washington is from Boston has said; "That coun- try is half made; the glaciers are slow ly doing their work, the mountains are smiking, the rivers are vomiting out quantities of quicksand." ." What is true of the Cooks inlet country of southern Alaska is also true, in meas. ures of the valley of the Yukon. There are however some differences. In u 6 region of the gold fields there are 10 glaciers. Active volcanoes. too, are 80 far away thatlt is only by the occasion al reports of Indians or prosPector5 who have made longer trip than usual that their existence is known, And yet our can see, thorugh all the valley of that great river of the un- formed character Of the country.
 The one thing that startles the trav- eler, be he Iayman or geologist, is the immense amount of work which the streams are performing. The Lewes river, down which he takes his way to the streams are performing. The LeWes river, down which he takes his way to the diggings, rises, as is known, in series of lakes, the greatest of which is over 30 miles long. The coun- try in the upper lake region Is moun- tainous, with torrents dashing down through rough valleys from the eternal snow.
 The contrast between this water of the lakes, which is clear. and that of the stream emerging from them is remarkable. The latter soon becomes turbid, being full of sediment, so that one cannot see more than quarter of an inch below the surface. A basinful taken out and allowed to stand clears itself in time, and thick deposit of mnd is found in the bottom of the receptacle.
 The current boils and flows very rapidly, and as the boat floats along sound is heard like that of frying fat. Upon searching for the cause of this sound it is found to lie in the grating against the bottom of the boat of the very fine particles of sand car ried in suspension. From the moment of entering the Lewes river until the end of the trip this sound is never absent A truly enormous amount of material is thus borne along by the Yukon and finally emptled into the immense delta at it's mouth in Morton's sound.

Electric BitterS.

Electric Bitters is medicine suited for any season, but perhaps more gen eraliy needed in the spring, when the languid exhausted feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid and sluggish the need of tonic and alterative is felt. A prompt use of this medicine has often averted long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medicine will act more surely in counteracting and freeing the system the malarial poison. Headache, indigestion, constipation dizziness yield to Electric Bitters. Only soc per bottle at J. E. Harberts < drugstore.
