The sPEeTER VaAQUlsHED!
Consumption Cured by Dr.
Slocum's Wonderful
Discovery.
a Simple Scientific Specific.
To Die Of Lung Trouble is
a Crime.

A specter haunts the human race. Hs
comes out of the swamps clothed in miasma-
He turks in noisome cellars and in damp caves
when the sun shines. He stalks about among
the people and strikes right and left with a
poisoned dagger. He is demon invisible,
and his blow is so subtle that his victim does
not feel the thrust till the poison is deeply
lodged and its deadly work is far under way
The name of this specter is CONSUMPTION.
He has at least been vanquished after q
struggle that dates from the beginning of the
practice of the healing art 1t remained for
an American, DIR. t. 4. Slocum, to make the,
remarkable discovery of specific that has
proved to be an uniailing antidote to the
poison infection.
One of the difficulties most frequently
met arises from the timidity or dishonesty Of
the ordinary physician 1t has been the GUS
tom to shut the eyes to all symptoms, and TO
tell the patient suffering from the incipient
stages of the disease that he had malaria, or
the ague, or that he had slight bronchial
trouble, or a slight touch of pleurisy, or a
cold. He was perhaps told he needed a.
change of air or a tonic. In fact anything
plausible was advanced to ears all too
willing to accept any theory except the dole
full fact that the seeds of pulmonary tuber>,
culosis were at work undermining the SYSTEM
The patient steadily grew weaker There
were periods OF laSsitude, alternating perhaps
with days of elation and great nervous energy
There was pallOr, with flush upon the cheek.
and bright eyes. There was feeling of wearis
ness at slight exertiOn.
Poor and low spirited DAYS were suddenly
succeeded by brief capacity for unusual exer,-
ton. All the while the frame was wasting
The heart was growing weaker. The digestive
organs were failing. The muscles were vast
ing away. The limbs were growing mors
and more slender. Sometimes there was 81
hollow hnarseness Sometimes the alleged cold
or bronchial tickling manifested itself by e
constant, hacking cough. In other cases the
cough was violent.
Thus the diseased marched on to the open
grave.
Finally, there was hemmorrhage of the
lungs, and then the false friend, who had con-
cealed the truth that others knew, was forced
to confess the truth or to claim new and
sudden development of what had existed all
the time.
DR.. Slocum's wonderful scientific discovery
has brushed away all these fallacies.
To allow person to die of consumption is
now crime.
All that is necessary is for those who are
with any disorder of threat or chest
TO write to DR.. Slocum, of New York City,
at once.
Do not wait till the end is forced upon an
unwilling or incompetent local physician.
There is no other disease to which humanity
is subject whose advances are so stealthY
Make haste! Take no chances While you
sleep the enemy is at work The end is sure.
Death is the wages of neglect

additional protection. The log dwellings
are built of pine hewn on three sides,
chinlied with mud, and roofs covered with
earth and moss. The business part OF the
town consists of a single street, where there
are, among other establishments. IS saloons,
two barber shops, half dozen restaurants,
two real estate Offices, and a hardware
store. The business buildings stand close
together, as in crowded city.
The largest buildings in the region are two
warehouses. one built by the Alaska Com
mercial Co., and the other fy the North
American Transportation Co., each of
which is two-stories high, and covers
about 5000 square feet. These build
ingS cost where they stand about So, eco
apiece, although in the Middle States
the estimate Of the expense of a similar
building would be about 1900 to S5,090.
In Dawson log cabins 20 by "a feet cost
from S%0C0 to $3.50.
A quotation of some Of the prices which
have been current there during the season
viii account for the enormous expense of
building operations: Pine logs cost s.. 80 TO
So each; window glass, 50 cents a pane;
tenpenny nails, 60 cents Il pound; meat,
- cents a pound; carpenters receive Sl8
and so a day; common laborers three
quarters OF an ounce OF gold q day or about
S12; 1t small loaf OF wheat bread costs 90
cents, and for short time it ran up to IS
cents; stoga boots have been selling for
three ounces OF gold, or S1S; no cigars or
drinks are less than so cents each; a bar
tender receives from So to $50 day.
The ordinary currency at Dawson is god
dust, and every business man has scales
for weighing dust. When miner enters n
store he hands over a buckSkin bag that
he takes from his pocket containing the
dust, and the storekeeper is expected to dip
out enough with spoon to weigh the price
of the purchase with the scales
The city is situated at the base Of a
mountain to the northeast Of the Klondike,
on the Yukon, where the river is about a
half mile wide, being somewhat compressed
at this point by the mountains in question
While the health of the city has been
reasonably good during the past Winter, it
is feared that next Summer will see an cpl
demic OF fever arising from the marshes
which stretch out to the west from the
base of the mounRin several hundred acres
in extent
The city is entirely without hygienic
regulations. There is no provision for
sewerage nor pure water supply. The mi
asma arising from the swamp, and the
want of rest which results from the mus
keto pest during June. July. and August, is

plies, medicines and delicacies were sent
which were made up in every house and
hamlet, until from cellar To garnet each
room was filed, and this was the chrysalis
OF the Sanitary Commission which after
wards was planned and organized in the
parlors OF this house, with DIR. Bellows and
DIR. Claiming as prime movers.
This house is built Of red brick, three
stories and a basement. Winding steps
lead up from the street to the front door;
you enter broad hall; a winding stairway
at the end leads To the second story. At
the left is a large bay window; a small
table and a couple OF easy chairs fill the
space. A beautiful etched portrait OF
Washington hangs on the wall underneath
a tri-panelled sepia drawing fby Toft, a
Danish water color painter of Sulgrave
Manor, NorthamptonShIre, England, the
ancestral mansion of the Washington
family. Mount Vernon is in the center,
and Brinton church, which the Washing
tons attended, and the tombs Of the Wash
ingtcn family Underneath is the coat-of-
arms OF the WashlngtonS, that suggested the
American flag. To the right you enter the
large salon parlor, where so many men OF
thought and action, at the Nations Capt.
tai, have assembled during the last 20 80
and 40 years. The walls are hung with
rare paintings.
MIR. johnson died April, 1852 For many
years Mrs. Johnson and her sister, Miss
Donaldson, lived here, the center and the
attraction of a refined circle; women OF
superior intellect and will, genial and
warm hearted, it was their happiness to
make others as comfortable as possible
Ii is to their honor that the unknown and
the iowiy shared in their thoughtful solici-
tation.
In 1881 the sweet-faced, gentle Miss
Donaldson laid down the burden and the
cares of life. Mrs. johnson died a few
years later. She lived to see all the COM
panions OF her youth pass away but be
fore the heavenly vision opened TO her, she
saw her beloved country clothed in the
habiliments OF unity, strength and freedom.

bound, it is feared. to cause great deal OF
sickness.
With the present conditions, while the
population is only 600 or 3 600, an epidemic
may be avoided, but it is expected that
pestilence can scarcely be escaped when
100 00e men set foot on the beach at DayA
son during the coming Summer, as will no
doubt result during the pending rush Tor
the gold fields.
The missionaries are already on hand in
full force, and three log churches have al
ready been erected-Catholic, Episcopalian,
and Methodist, respectively.
Since last Fall Il number OF very rich
strikes have been made on new ground,
notably Columbia Creek, French Creek, and
Bender Creek. Some of these claims have
shown results equal to So or S to the pan,
and single individuals labor in some
cases has resulted in taking out as much
as Sl3o,000 worth of nuggets and coarse
gold for the seasons work. it is believed
by many miners that the mother lode from
which all this placer deposit came has been
discovered; this, however, remains to be
determined with the operations of the

when Uncle Sam needed friends, and at
every cross roads school house were silver
tongued era ors who promised great things
in the name Of our Uncle. After a young
man enrol ed his name as a soldier he dis
cussed with his girl on the road home the
question OF where she would like that land

and perquisites could he sustained and

where the next sack of flour is coming

RICH YOUNG POLITICIANS.

Many young men OF great wealth
and high social positions, who wer,
carried ioto the war with Spain by thu
wave of patriotic feeling which sweep,
over the country at the beginning Of
OF hostilities. are turning their attention
to politics.
This awakening of interest in na-
tional affairs which was brought about
by the war promises to make the Con-
gressional elections in this city o.
pecially interesting. Both Republic
and Democrats are seeking to give the
people chance 10 recognize and re-
ward rs devotion which led ,asn OF
large fortunes to sacrifice their ease in
thu service Of their country.
As result men who count their
possessions by millions will be pitted
against each other, and social leaders
Whole names have been bettsr known
in the exclusive set than to the people
Mt large will contend for popular favor
at the polls.
