BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAVE.
Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, of S25 w. Pearl ST., Indianapo-
lis, Ind, was at death door with quick
consumption. Wasted to a skeleton;
his lungs a mass of liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him a
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle.

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUP
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. AS the
genuine Syrup Of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFoRNGA FIG SYRUP Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact viii
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FoRNIA FIG SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the lame of the Company guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. 1t is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating OF weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor

1,500 suits bought at a clip is
the greatest record of all. Never
in the history of merchandising
can anyone tell of such a pur-
chase. 1,500 suits bought to sell
at one price, S12.9S. No such
values have ever entered the
home of the business house.
Every suit is strictly tailor-made
has a raw edge stitching and
lap seams. The jackets are
double breasted, single-breasted,
tight-fitting, and fly and box
fronts. All are lined with the
best quality of plain and change

stripes, and rich brocades. They
are made of the following cloths:

F. C. Schrader. geologist, and W. J. Pc
ters. topographer, have arrived at Seattle,
Wash. from the interior Of Alaska, where
they have been all summer making surveys
in the interest of the Geological Survey.
They left Seattle about the middle of last
April. Both were in charge of a party OF
explorers. Mr.. Schrader's party consisted
OF himself as chief in command, a topo-
grapher, and four camp assistants. In
cluded in the usual camping outfit were
three collapsable canoes. He proceeded
Immediately TO the White Pass by way of
Skagway; down the Yukon TO Fort Yukon,
and thence across country to the Koyukuk
River. This region is considered one Of
the most inaccessible found in Alaska, and
was practically unknown before Mr.. Schra-
der and his party entered it.
The party that Mr.. Peters commanded In
cluded Mr.. A. H. Brooks as geologist. Their
destination was In a more northeaster,y d.
rection than that Of Mr.. Schrader. and they
landed in the vicinity OF the head waters of
the Yukon River. Both men were ordered
to make a reconnaissance survey OF their
different Districts and to cover as much ter
ritory as possible consistent with the best
returns in geological and typographical in
formation.
Although general survey of the country
was to be taken for the purpose OF learn
ing the best trails for summer and winter
travel and the conditions of subsistence
through which they passed, special instruc-
dons were given to the parties studying the
minerals.
This latter work falls to the geologist and
it is considered of the greatest importance
1t is already known that Alaska contains
rich deposits Of all mineral. Through tn.
recent appropriation by Congress of $20, 900
to be used by the Geological Survey in this
work, more attention is being paid to in
vestigating the deposits of gold than Of
other minerals, and it is expected tina,
when full report is made Alaska will
be found to be richer in this respect than
any country on the globe.
Four expeditions have already been sent
out by the Geological Survey, and their
maps and reports are now on file. Mr..
Schrader and Mr.. Peters have not yet made
their report, which is expected to be quite
voluminous. 1t is known, however, that
great deal Of territory has been covered
and mapped, and much valuable informa-
tion secured.
Only small part of this vast region, en-
bracins 100000 square miles within Its
boundaries, has been surveyed, but the
work Will be continued, it is said, until
every characteristic of the country is
known
