H. C. Chrestenson of Hayfield Minn.
“For three years I was troubled with
dyspepsia so that 1 could hold nothing

be unable to retain a morsel of food.
Finally I was confined to my bed. Doc-
tors said 1 could not live. 1 read one
of your advertisements on Kodol Dys-

THE ALASKANS
In the December Era there is a sec
on.l installment of William C Hender-
son's illustrated articles on “In Unex
plored Alaska." He writes:
The Alaskan Esquimaux are highly
intelligent industrious moral and lion
est according to their standards in
such matters which differ somewhat
from our own. They are strictly
truthful of kindly cheerful dispoiiti.m
and exceedingly gentle patient and
tactful in their manners. In illustration
of their intelligence it was interest in:
to note that while their language cm
braced but a few hundred words us
against our overwhelming vocabulary
they and not we made all the advance
evincing the keenest interest in the
acquisition of the white man's tongue.
In voicing thdir proficiency in this di-
rection it was not uncommon for some
of the more sensitive among us to be
shocked upon being saluted by some
precocious maiden with a string of
oaths strangely Intoned culled for
our edification from the explosive
speech in general use among the rep-
resentatives of a higher moral develop
ment. The natives soon learned such
tunes and songs as were whistled or
sung in their hearing. These they re-
produced with considerable accuracy
words and all. The words were how
ever generally sounds phonetically
similar to those heard and were some-
times. in fact quite amusing. This
sudden musical development seemed
remarkable considering that their nat-
I ural attempts include only monoto
nous dronings accompanied sometimes
|by an unmeasured inane thrumming
Ion e sort of tambourine. There are
I many artists among them whose carV-
| Ings and etchings on ivory are of high
excellence.
There is a marked difference in the
adaptability to Caucasian customs be-
tween the men and women of this race.
The men are much keener in antici-
pating what is likely to meet with
white favor and lose no time in at
least concealing habits and inclina
Hons that are seen to be objection-
able; while the women make but lit-
tle progress in this direction. The
contrast is beet shown at the white
man’s table: one or two meals suffic-
ing to nrevent anv painful exhibitions
from the men. whereas with the wo-
men no improvement is to be observed.
With either sex. at such times the un-
selfish solicitude for their absent
friends is sure to evince Itself in their
setting aside the choicest morsels of
fond to he taken to them never fail
ing. however to ask leave to do so.

AN ENTIRE CITY EXCITED
OVER A SEEMING MIRACLE
John Hunter Blind and Helpless From Paralysis Now
Sees Walks and Works.
FACTS VERIFIED BY THE FffAYOR
AND OTHER PROMINENT MEN. .
An Investigation by the San Francisco Examiner Demonstrates the AL"
solute Truth of a Cure That Almost Parallels the Miracles of Old
--Its Full Significance to ail Nervous Sufferers.
The town of Chico in Butte county.
Cal. is in a state of excitement over a
miracle so marvelous ns to be almost
beyond belief. The local papers have
given columns to the discussion of a
ease that with all reverence might
justly be compared with the miracles
of old for here is a man who was blind
and he sees speechless and he talks
powerless to move and he walks and
works. Pronounced incurable no later
than the spring of last year.he is this
week shingling a roof ami repairing a
building.
So widespread became the fame of
this miracle of modern times that a
San Francisco Examiner representa-
tive visited Chico and made a thorough
investigation of the case. Every scrap
of evidence was sifted and the most
searching inquiry served only to estab
lish the truth of a cure. that although
miraculous is unquestionable.
Caused By Paralysis.
John Hunter who has suddenly
become one of the most interesting
personages on the coast is a veteran
of the civil war. through which Jie
nerved in Co. C of the 120th Illinois
Volunteers. He is sixty-one years of
age by occupation a carpenter and
builder ami resides on Orient street
Chico. When seen by the Examine:
repr< sentative. Ite related a story that
were it not sustained by his swon
statement and corroborated by all tin
prominent people and officials of th<
town would seem like a tale of fie
tion.
"About four years ago." said Mr
Hunter. "I was suddenly stricken witli
paralysis. I lost all sense of feeling
and all power of movement in my right
side from head to foot. I also partly
lost the power of speech. 1 soon be
camo totally blind and was so perfect
ly helpless that for three years I was
confined to my bed.
Given Up as a Dead Man.
“Anyone in a hiore hopeless condi
tion it would be hard to find. My
stomach refused to perform its func
tions without heroic measures and in
tense suffering.
"Do< tors diagnosed my case as loro
motor ataxia and my family physician
gave me every care and attention pos
siblc but all his prescriptions during
two years were powerless to alleviate
my sufferings or in any way afford the
Slightest relief.
“After being virtually given up as a
dead man by friends and physicians
and resigning nr self to my apparent
fate mv nlecp read an advertisement
of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pali
People. I discussed ft with my fam
ily and. almost hoping against hope
determined to try the jdlls. I men
tinned it to my doctor an.l lie not onl;
gave his consent to my trying Dr. Wil
Hams' Pink Pjlls but strongly advised
my doing so.
Now Sees. Talks. Walks and Works
“Yon see the result. Ftom a blind
helpless paralvtic unable to move and
so broken down and hopeless that lift
was a burden. I can now walk do ant
odd jobs about the pb'ce go down
town and —most wonderful of all —car
see. And I owe it all to Dr. WHiiams'
Pink Pills.
“Improvement began while 1 war
taking the second box. I continued
taking the pills and from that time on
it was gradual but sure. My awful
stomach troubles have disappeared
my eyesight has been restored my
brain is dear and active and if ever
a man should be grateful and anxious
that others should know the wonder-
fill properties of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills that man is myself.’*

Interest in this !niracqjou3 cure is
intense in Chico county and vicinity
where the townspeople have the evi
dence of their own eve* ns to its an
thentidty. Newspaper space Is too
limited to give expression to the many
who are willing to be heard but the
following prominent citizens voice the
sentiment of the whole community.
THE MAYOR OF CHICO.
Gives His Indorsement to the Account
of the Miracle
One of the most prominent en.1 pub-
lic spirited citizens of Chico is the
Hon. O. L. Clark now serving bis sec-
ond term as mayor am! president of
the board of trustees of the city.
Speaking of the case related above.
Mr. Clark told the representb Iv of
the San'Francisco Examl ier. tt’nt h*
knew of John Hunter’s former .'.dp
less condition and said it w:.s gen
erally considered a hopeless case. No
one was more astounded than Mayor
JOHN HUNTER

treat able to walk work and care for
limself. Ue considers the recover
islhlng short of miraculous. In e:ri
dusion Mayor Clark said he believed
he cause of suffering humanity could
>e helped by any publicity given the
•emedy which restored Jolin Hunter's
health.
A Clergyman's Opinion.
The Rev. W. G. White pastor of the
'hico Presbyterian Church of which
Mr. Hunter is a member lias known
he latter during ami since his illness
A’hen asked for an expression on tin
■ase Mr. White wrote ami signed tin
oilowing:
“The recovery of Mr. Hunter seems
zery remarkable and his present con
lition is the wonder of his friends."
Prominent Banker's Statement.
Mr. A. H. Crew is cashier of the
tank of Chico. He is a sound conserv
itive able financier whose advice Is
.ought after and followed by his towns
teople. Mr. Crew told the reporter
hat he had known Jolin Hunter for a
lumber of years and that his tecovery
.vas simply marvelous. He knows
dr. Hunter to be very enthusiastk
>ver Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pali
’eople. ami was willing to corroborate
Mr. Hunter’s sworn statement. “I
lad never expected to see him recover
my of his lost faculties much less to
iee him able to walk see and work as
te now is ” concluded Mr. Crew
The Postmaster of Chico.
The postmaster of Chico Is Mr. W.
.V. Wilson who. when interviewed
•aid: "I can only corroborate the
itatements you already have. Every
>ne you meet and ask will tell you the
ante thing. I was at Mr. Hunter's
louse and saw his pitiable condition
vith my own eyes. I have also seen
>im today walking the streets and
rnctically well. I know enough of
ohn Hunter to say that he would not
lake an untruthful statement nor
zould he mislead any one as to the
means that brought about what we all
consider otic of the greatest cures of
the age Ills affidavit can therefore
lie absolutely depended upon.
A Marvelous cure.
In the Chico Record published by
Richards and Deuel an article ap
peared from the pen of one of their
reporters sent to investigate the case
and verify the facts. The article w.n
headed: "Blind JohnHunter Recovers
His sight." "Story That Reads Like
Fiction." After reciting the cure of
Mr. Hunter the article continues:
“Marvelous as this may seem to his
friends and still more marvelous as
his story of his recovery may appear
to every ond who reads tt. it Is all true
.though it would not lie accepted if it
were not for the fact that he is a living
witness with scores of friends to cor-
robebate him.” The article concludes
with the statement that Mr. Hunter
desired the credit for his cure to lie
given to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
A WONDERFUL MEDICINE.
What the California Miracle Means to
Every Nervous Sufferer In the Land.
' No more astounding cure than that
of Jolin Hunter has ever been accom-
plished by human agency and the sig-
nificance of it is that Dr. Williams'
Pink PillW are not an ordinary medi-
cine. They are wonderful in their po-
tency in nervous troubles small or
great and as tiiey are on sale in every
drug store ‘hrougho'it the country
they are within -re'ch of all. The
cure of such n ir-ptv nervons disor-
der as that of Mr. H inter proves tlie
power of the remedy in lesser troubles
such as sciatica neuralgia nervous
headache St. Vitus' .lance and ner-
vous debility*
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have a dou-
ble action —on the blood and on the
nerves. It is not claimed that these
pills are a cure-all. bnt the very nature
of the remedy makes it efficacious in
a wider range of diseases than any
other. It is a scientific preparation
designed to cure disease through a di-
rect action on the blood and nerves.
Impoverished blood and badly fed
nerves arc the cause of nearly every
aliment that effects mankind. Il the
blood is kept pm— rich and red and
the nerves strong and active disease
cannot obtain a foothold.
