MEDICINE
Power of the Specialist In
Treating Grave
Diseases.
His Advantage Over the Cen
eraI Practitioner-How the Best
Treatment May be Obtained for
an insignificant Sum.

Even q layman, who never sees O medi-
cal paper, must marvel at the great dvanc
the science of healing has made in the last
few years. A decade has seen more adj
yancement, more light, than all the seven.
tenth and eighteenth centuries.
This condition has been brought about
very largely by the researches of specialists,
who have made some particular organ of the
body their special study. -.
How TO provide the advantages OF special
treatment to the afflicted who have been un-
able to secure it, has been a problem many
have tried TO solve. That IL is practicable
has finally been demonstrated by II. II.
Warner, the original proprietor OF the world
famed Warmers Safe Cure.
Mr.. Warmers years of experience in the
treatment Of kidney diseases led him to be-
tanned by offering the public special treat
ment for the several classes Of disease TO
which mankind is liable. Since he severed
his connection with the Warner Safe Cure
Company. some five years ago, he has been
working out his present plan and has formed
the Warner Nazaro Medicine Co.
He has completed arrangements with a
number of the leading specialists OF Greater
New York, to give advice and treatment TO
neople who could not otherwise avail them
selves of their services. In this way special
treatments will be prescribed for each class
of disease, and special advice given to each
patient. .,
Among the diseases for which special
treatment can be had are, scrofula and all
blood and skin diseases; nervous prostra-
ton. insomnia, chronic headaches, and all
nervous disorders; rheumatism and gouti
acute and chronic catarrh, diseases and
weaknesses Of women; speciG.l diseases OF
men; indigestion and all stomach disorders.

From he Far North.

The following extracts from a letter
recently received by Mrs. Harmon OF
Hill City, from her son George, located
in the Klcndike gold fields, appeared in
last weeks issue Of the News, and is
dated Dawson City. December 9th:
II will drop you a few lines to let you
know that / am still on earth. ] came
up heie the latter part Of September (;
/ was coming out this fall but the boats
didn't make connections. / am glad
o didn't get out, for / was coming
after horses. / can buy them here
cheaper than l could go out after them.
I can get a good span Of work horses for
$500. We wanted three teams, but are
going 10 wait another year.. | think
wages will come down about one half;
we are paying 81 so per hour.
"This camp is away owe estimated.
There are some of the richest claims in
the world. but they are rot all rich by a
good ways, some of them wont pay
wages. l would not advise any n to
come to this country, unless ! had a
grudge against them. Tell them they
wont need any starched shirts, but to
bring warm wool shirts and a good big
mosquito bar.
starvation is staring people in the
face this winter, but We have sufficient
to winter US. My partner got II sack
OF -four for his winter rations / told
him he had better bake it into crackers,
so he conId drink water and swell up. l
think there will be 1000 men go out on
the ice this winter, Of course that will
help out on the grub question, for they
will sell part of their outfits. Flour has
sold as high as $500 per pound. Other
things in proportion. Candles sell at
$120 per box. think we have plenty ;
we have seven boxes of kerosene, $25
per gallon.
THE British government has imposed
a tax of 20 per cent on all gold taken out
to make il more binding, but am afraid
they will have a hard time collecting it;
it is for cigarette money for Count Pig
gle and Queen Vic.
Il am going back to Circle City about
March. AmericaL soil IS good enough
for me they ever tax yon for the wood
you burn aud the house logs you use.
Oh, they are all right from their heads
up. Dogs are at a premium, they sell
from $50 to $500 per head, There is a
good opening for a dog ranch here.
There are lots of poor fellows starting
out pulling a hand.sled, without dogs, it
is doubtful if they vel get out. Well, it
is bed time, so / will close"
