Keokuk, Iowa, to the great gold

innumerab.e, and attendant with
many dangerous undertakings
but the hope Of suddenly acquiring

deter mination and strength which
is characteristic to only that class
of people known throughout the
world ne adventures.

taking, decided TO risk with al
effort Of his life, making his fortune
in that wild and almost unexpiored
country. Mrs. Woods, 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 last four years been a
sufferer from what the doctor said
was an incurahle 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 and surgical treat
ment. Unfortunately, however,
little had been accomplished. She
suffered more and more each day.
But, having q constitution and will
power, and also intrusting in the
Divine creator, that all would be
remedled some day, she still bore
up. Being a great reader, she had
read everything within her reach,
and oftimes had she noticed articles
IN the papers concerning the work
Of DR.. Rea, specialist, OF Louisville,
Kentucky. Testimonial after tes-
timoniIl had she read until she dc
cided that If this wonderful doctor
could cure others, be could cortsin
IL cure her. And, seeing an an
nouncement in the paper that he
would make . professional visit
throughout the Northwest in about
ten days, and stop in Keokuk for
one day, concluded to consult him.
The time passed slowly but NJ
last the day of his arrival came.
She called on him at an early hour
in the day. thinking that could she
get in early she would avoid the
crowd, but in this she Vas dis

or more patients in waiting when
she came. Her turn finally came
and she was ushercd into his office
by his assistant. DIR. Ren made u

tsd tic case decidedly a durable
one, although he said the time re !
CURED to effect a permanent cure
would be from three To six months.
Mrs.. Wood, afterwards, in speak
ing Of the doctor, said : "lle
