The sew Road tn Alaska toIu fIeius.
Alaska is the coming tourist route of the
world; person can leave New York ana
in ] 3 days arrive at Dawson, Northwest
Territory. His time will be divided as
follows: Five days in crossing the United
States from the Atlantic Seaboard to
Seattle, Wash; five days travelling by
vessels from Seattle to Skaguay, includ
ing transfer; three hours from Skaguay to
Lake Bennett, via White Pass and Yukon
route, and As hours from Lake Bennett 10
White Horse Rapids, thence by steamer,
three days, to Dawson City.
Between Dawson and ST. Michael there
are over 50 river steamers running, some
OF them nearly as fine as the passenger
boats on the Mississippi, with first class
accommodations, all modern convent
ences, and nearly all lighted by electric
lights.
Beginning about June this year, five
lines of steamers will be running from
Lake Bennett TO White Horse Rapids,
connecting with the upper Yukon steam
crs. These boats will be palatial in every
respect and viii compare fayOrably with
the boats on the Hudson River. The route
is lovely one. The scenery is divcrSi-
fed; first glaciers, then mountains, and
then fiat country. The lakes are the
finest in the world. | have talked with
hundreds Of people who have travCrsed
the route, and they all agreed that Lake
Bennett has the most beautiful scenery OF
any lake in the world.
The railroad is now completed from
Skaguay to the summit Of White Pass, n
distance of 20 miles, and at present is
graded seven miles beyond. At White
Pass the railroad has an elevation OF
1888 feet, starting from tidewater at
Sllaguay. The road will be completed
into Bennett City by May Is, and the
officials tell me that they will build on to
Fort Sellzirk, distance of 36i miles from
Skaguay.

The Way.

Never in the history of the world before
has mankind been so singularly fortunate in
having at its disposal means to the end of
fortilication as today. Heretofore there have
been many different ways to fortify yourself
at a given point, each good in its way, but
nothing that could cover ALL conditions,
nothing that wOuld meet EVERY require
ment until the eminent American medical
scientist, Doctor Slocum, gave to the world
the benefit Of years of scientific study and
research, and promulgated what has since
been named III his honor, the SLOCUM
SYSTEM.
In the SLOCUM SYSTEM, which consists
of four distinctly different preparations, a
carefully thought-out and scientifically con-
structed system of treatment is given. 1t
touches not on one point, but on ALL the
points necessary to completely fortify the
human system against the inroads of disease,
and the dangerB OF climatic changes, SO pO-
tently powerful in March.
FIRST, the SLOCUM SYSTEM sezes on
every germ in the nose, throat, chest or lungs,
and after killing them drives them COM
pletely out the system, thereby removing
the cause of the disease.
Second, it introduces into the weakened
and debititated system, a strengthening, in
yigorating and fattenIng food, which builds
up and restores the wasted AMI worn out
tissues, and covers the body with q blanket
of flesh, which defies the cold and piercing
winds and properly protects the delicate res
piratory organs.
Tnlrd, it soothes and allays all in1amma-
tion of the alimentary canal, due to the
former activity of the germs, now removed,
stops all catarrhal discharges and conquers
the cough.
Fourth, it sends all over the system a
tonic influence, which stimulates, invigorates
