. ~~@+é-s— ® Now -a-days nearly J every woman rides a bicycle. The ajority
of these who do not, have failed to compass its diffi- culties because of nervousness. Many women af- ,ter taking innum- ‘ lessons, and trying vainly Meto conquor the wheel for weeks, have finally given it up as a hope- less task for this one reason.
In nearly every in- stance severe nervous- ness in women may be traced to weakness and disease of the delicate and important organs distinctly feminine. No other class of disorders so torture a wo- man’s nerves or break them down so quickly and effectually. Dr. Pierce’s Fa- vorite Prescription is a sure, speedy and permanent cure for all troubles of this de- scription. It acts directly on the sensitive organs concerned, making them strong, healthy, vigorous and elastic. It allays inflammation, heals ulceration, soothes pain and tones and builds up the nerves. It stops exhausting drains. It banishes the indispositions that precede maternity and makes baby’s advent eusy and almost pain- less. It imsures the little new-comer’s health and an ample supply of nourish- ment. It transforms weak, nervous inva- lids into strong, healthy, nerve-steady wo- men. Thousands have testified to its mar- velous merits. An honest dealer will not offer a substitute.
“My wife was troubled with ‘female weak- ness’ for several years.”’ writes James Caswell, Esq., of Ocheltree, pone Co., Kans., (P. O. Box 61). ‘‘She had bearing-down pains and pain in back. Her periods were irregular, she would have fainting spells, the best doctors did her no good. By the time my wife had taken four bottles of the ‘Favorite Prescription’ she was completely cured. No more pain. Her monthly periods are regular, she is stout and strong. When she commenced taking your medicines she weighed about 125 pounds—now she weighs 160 pounds.”

Established Dawson City,
at the mouth of the Klondyke and Yukon Rivers, by.erectim the first house ia the region in September, one month after the gold was first discovered. He bought 178 vcres from the government on the city site where his.town lots, 150x50 aie now selling for $5,000 each. ;
Mr. Ladue was fortunate enough to be successfyl in bis trading post investments to have on hand ample capital to out his plans, and there is no man living who is better on Alaska and the great North West Territories than Mr. Joseph Ladue. He has just returned from that country to his old home in Schuyler Falls, N. Y., where he passd a large portion of his boyhood and early manhood. Mr. Ladue left his home nearly twenty years ago to seek his tortune in the West, going first to the Black Hills, where he was successful in goid mining, thence to Arizona and the Pacific Coast, and finally located in Alaska and the North West, where he has covered almost the entire country since 1882. Mr. Ladue is a typical pioneer; strong, hardy ana resoiuve—a man of iron as one must;needs to be to go through the hardships he has and come out with a constitution unbroken and unimpaired at the age of about forty-three. Mr. Ladue has not only worked his muscies to good advantage to himself with the result of an abundance of the world’s goods far beyond the dreams of men, but he has evidently all his time been closely observing the conditions of that strange country—the Yukon Valley— which has so suddenly become one of the great centres upon which human interest throughout the world is focussed.
When the wonderful stories began to come down trom the Yukon country it was naturally concluded that it was at least half exaggeration. That any such amount o1 gold could 1 taken in so short a time from a country like that underth most unfavorable conditions was held to be incredible. Bu when the great bags of virgin gold began to be poured ow upon mint counters in San Francisco under the eyes of tt whole world (fur modern journatism does this, annihilating time and space), people began to wonder, and the wonder grew day by day as the real facts were disclosed, and noW people who are well informed as to the facts declare that half the truth has not been told of the golden treasures of th Yukoa Valley.
Aa we have already said, there is no man alive today who knows more about this wonderful country than does Mr. Ladue. What makes his talk of it specially interesting and reliable is the fact that his knowledge of it is practical. ie has not been gained from hearsay nor from desolutory visits made now and then at certain favorable seasons of the yeal, bat from steady living there through the long summer days and the Jong winter nights year in and year out for 15 yeats where he now owns the best mining claims on the Klondyke and its tributavies. :
In presenting his book to the public we do so knowwg that it is by an authority on the subject of which he writes His first work entitled
