 HOW 
 
 THE GREAT INDIAN SAGWA 
 
 Of the Famous Ethnologist. 
 
 I 
 
 'HEN the famous Ethnologist FRANK H. GUSHING was in Boston with 
 the Zuni Indians last spring, he was seen by many persons who had 
 known him before he went to New Mexico to begin upon his life of 
 self-sacrifice in the interests of science. Very few of these persons were able to 
 recognize in the bronzed, strong-limbed, clear-voiced man, the feeble youth who 
 had cnly three short years before left the Civilized East, almost a human wreck. 
 Many had, with tears in their eyes, thoughc that when they bade him " good bye" 
 on that sad November day in 1879, that it would be a "good bye " in reality 
 that the Sod of some wild Western Settlement would soon fall heavily upon his 
 rude coffin, unless his relatives were fortunate enough to ascertain the place of his 
 demise and have his remains brought home. Mr. Gushing was afflicted with a 
 variety of complaints, all of which originated from a diseased and disordered liver. 
 Many supposed he had Consumption and he himself was among this number. 
 His chest was narrow and sunken, his face was sallow and expressionless unless 
 a settled look of despair and utter hopelessness might be called expression his 
 legs were thin and trembling, and his arms were the arms of a skeleton. 
 
 C On a chilly morning in last May a reporter of a well known Boston daily, 
 called upon Mr. Gushing in room 178, at Quincy House. The reporter had 
 known the now famous gentleman when they both lived together in a town in 
 Notrhern New York, and being aware of the terribly precarious condition in which 
 Cushing was when he left for Zuni-land, was naturally anxious to see whether or 
 not his old friend had improved or retrograded during his season of " roughing it'* 
 in the extreme South-West. In response to the scribe's rap on the door of room 
 178, there immediately came a quick, elastic step across the floor, the door was 
 opened with an impulsive movement, and before the eyes of the newspaper man 
 there stood a hale brown, hard-fleshed, pleasant-faced young fellow whose eyes 
 twinkled merrily and with a half mischevious light as he took in the situation. 
 He knew his old friend, the reporter, at once, and appreciated the amazement of 
 a member of this generally never surprised class, thoroughly. 
 
 "Are you Mr. Gushing?" hesitatingly asked the Journalist. 
 
 "I certainly am old boy Frank Cushing, and don't you forget it! " 
 
 " I see you have'nt been so far out of civilization but that you have succeeded 
 in learning some Eastern slang" the reporter suggested. 
 
 "Oh," with a hearty laugh replied Cushing "I've got that since I've been 
 on this trip, caught it up in New York I believe." 
 
After some conversation 
 regarding old times, the almost 
 miraculous snatching from, the 
 grave of Mr. Gushing, and 
 others matters, the young gen 
 tleman who has become so 
 thoroughly identified with the 
 Zuni Tribe of Indians that 
 they have consecrated him a 
 priest, was asked to tell the 
 story of his restoration. 
 
 "I have no hesitancy in 
 telling you" began Mr. 
 Gushing " and I wish ferven 
 tly that I was in the position 
 .tp spread the great secret 
 broadcast, so that all of my 
 suffering human brothers and 
 sisters might receive the great benefits that I have. You remember 
 about my departure for the West how I succeeded in securing a 
 commission from the Smithsonian Institute through the kindness of 
 the superintendent Dr. Beard to go and if I lived long enough investigate the 
 worship secrets, the medicine secrets and the folk-love of the Zuni and other 
 Tribes of Indians. You remember also how it was more like a funeral than any 
 thing else when I bade farewell to my loving friends, hardly expecting that I 
 would ever see them again in this world. Of course they did not like for me to 
 go, but I had a strong, and almost overwhelming conviction that among the ab 
 originals of this land I might come upon the precious fountain of health. I was 
 always a naturalist always believed sincerly that in past ages there have been 
 seen in this great country of ours more wonderful things than this century ean 
 boast, and with this thought uppermost in my mind, I was only too glad to be off 
 towards the mecca of my hopes. There is no use in detailing to you how intensely 
 I suffered during my long journey Westward. It had to be taken in easy steps, 
 and on many occasions I became convinced that I would never reach my point of 
 destination. However I finally got there, and was laid down upon a couch of 
 leaves in tlie wigwam of old Wich-a-wah-wa, the head chief of the rather Small 
 Tribe of Zunis. I had come among them almost in the capacity of a spy, but the 
 hunters who carried me, told the old chief, and he told the other chiefs that I was 
 a sick Chieftain from the great white race who came to be cured. The niece of old 
 Wich-a-wah-wa commenced to treat me at once. I can very indistinctly remem. 
 ber the beginning of my cure, for I was unconscious when my guides brought me 
 to the Zuni camp, and could not possibly, I think, have lived through another day 
 of travel, although they carried me tenderly upon a hammock made for the pur- 
 pose. Finally I began to feel my strength returning, my blood felt as if it was 
 flowing in my veins ; that awful feeling of depression vanished by degrees ; the 
 birds and other kinds of game that the kind Indians brought me began to be 
 relished by me my appetite was returning Something that I had not npssessed 
 for two years. At length I was able to sit up in a chair, spread over with soft 
 
king the chair is really 200 y*ars old, and is still iu the lodge of my fathe*; 
 
 'The lodge o your father, why what do you mean ?/' 
 
 "I mean that not before I was willing to be made a priest the Priest of 
 
 War and went through the 
 ceremonies of being acknow 
 ledge by old Wich-a-wah-wa, 
 would the Zuni Indians let 
 me into the mysteries of their 
 ways. That's what! went to 
 accomplish, and so, after two 
 months, when, from being x at> 
 the very verge of the grave, 
 the old Chief told me that I 
 was in perfect health and 
 that they could do no more 
 for ine in that line, I asked 
 him to give me the secret of 
 my restoration. The girl (his 
 niece) had taught me in those 
 three months to speak some 
 thing of the Zuni language, 
 and so I was enabled to under 
 stand what he said. He told 
 me that he desired me to re 
 main among them and be a 
 chief and his son. I told him 
 *v/w/ x\s\'V^ that I would do it. Then they 
 
put me to all sorts of hard tests and I stood them. Among thefe 
 were going nearly naked in cold weather, of hand-to-hand encounter* 
 with wild animals, wrestling matches with their young men; and they 
 tested my courage by springing their fearful looking "ghosts" .upon me 
 when I was not expecting them. I had the courage to stand these tests and was- 
 finally initiated. Then they told me many of their secrets and strange beliefs, 
 and Tin-sing-wah, the head medicine man in a long, solemn and formal speech 
 made me aware of how I had been cured- 'It was the great ground (herb) medi 
 cine of the Kickapoo tribe/ said he, the Indian Sagwa that brought the white 
 brother back from the cold presence of the beyond. The Zuni's know many 
 medicines, but none so good as the Kickapoos make ! afterwards by much inquiry 
 I ascertained that many years ago the Zuni tribe had made war upon the Kicka- 
 poos in order to wrest from them this secret of the manufacture of the Sagwa, but 
 had always been repulsed. The Zunis almost worship this medicine, and while 
 they have many special and excellent herb preparations of their own, in extreme 
 and desperate cases, they resort to the Sagwa, supplies of which they secure twice 
 a year by sending special messengers and treating with the head chief of the' 
 Kickapoo tribe." 
 
 After this wonderful and interesting story was finished, Mr Gushing was 
 asked his opinion of herbs as medicines and how their efficacy compared with the 
 41 scientific '' treatment of the physicians of civilization. ''There is just as much 
 method in the manner in which the Kickapoo or the Zunis Indians treat their 
 patients as in the mode of practice pursued by the Educated City practictioner " he 
 replied ; " theirs is the science of nature. It may have come to them intuitively 
 why not. since their Creator knew that their sick people ought to be cured, and 
 they had no other means than those supplied by the verdant fields, and by the 
 spicy woods. Hardly is there an Indian maiden or youth of ten summers but who 
 knows more of botany than any of your graduates of the best schools in the coun 
 try, and the old r white-haired medicine men know for what medical purpose every 
 blade of grass or tiny root grows. The Indians are a wonderful people, and our 
 latter day physicians will yet be taught many startling truths by them that they 
 now affect to despise. I owe my life to the pure compound of roots, herbs, leaves 
 and gums, made by the medicine men of the Kickapoo tribe of Indians, and known 
 all over the Indian Country as Sagwa, and I would never again put in my mouth 
 other medicine than that prepared by these people." 
 
 The reporter bade Mr. Gushing good morning and left him to receive other 
 iriends. What he had said about roots, herbs, etc., set the newspaper man to 
 thinking on the subject and he talked with a number of old medical of men Boston, 
 who were bound to admit that the theory brought into existence in civilized com 
 munities by old Samuel Thompson (father of the Thompsonian School of Medicine) 
 created a new era in the practice of physic. They all remembered the time when, 
 in the early part of the present century, Boston was visited so disastrously with 
 carlet fever. The regular physicians of the city were unable to check its awful 
 march, and gave up their patients to death by the hundreds. It was at this time 
 that Samuel Thompson appeared among the sicK. He discarded the old phar 
 macopoeia, and by so doing called down upon his head the bitter antagonism 
 of the regular physicians. He cured his patients with a syrup made of lobelia, a 
 beautiful biennial plant, with pink flowers and fibrous root. Because he was 
 
9 
 
 juccessful, the hatred of his old school rivals became so intense that he was a* 
 used of witch-craft, arrested and put on trial for his life. The jury was of ordin 
 
 ary intelligence however, and acquitted him, but, to this day full justice has never 
 been done him. At the present time the School of Medicine that Dr. Thompson 
 founded has no perfect representation. 
 
 In a recent article the New York Daily Star warmly advocates the cause of 
 herb and root medicines and gives some interesting details gathered by its reporters 
 as to the extent of the business in this country. Mr. Walter Adams, a well known 
 wholesale botanic druggist, said in reply to a question as to where these herbs and 
 roots came from : "They come from nearly everywhere, but principally from 
 Indian settlements in the far West." He said that he always carried a stock of 
 About 200, 000 pounds, sent in all shapes, and consisting of every known herb- 
 The cost of these goods ranges from three cents to $4 per pound, and an article 
 that one year can be bought for 25 cents a pound may cost $4 the next. There 
 are about 500 varieties and they supply all the wants of the pharmacopoeia, such 
 as solid extracts, tinctures, oils, etc., in addition to simple remedies in tK %rm of 
 teas, powders and syrups. Many valuable additions are imported from France 
 Oermany and South America, and several varieties come from China. The purest* 
 best and most valuable, if the white race more thoroughly^ understood them, Mr. 
 A-dams said, came from our extreme West The Indians only understood them 
 
10 
 
 and they guarded their secret very jealously. It would be dangerous for whiU 
 
 men not understanding Indian botany thoroughly to attempt to make use of 
 kese herbs, as many of them are poisonous 
 
 [HE above is a simple term, and but few in the community are without a 
 proportion, but few indeed exercised it, or even use good judgement 
 when sickness overtakes them. The Indians are an exception to the rest 
 of mankind in this respect, for, when from any cause they are indisposed, they do* 
 not consult some half-pledged disciple of Esculapius who at once proceeds to till 
 heir heads with latin, and their stomachs with universal poison so powerful that 
 their lives are endangered, but they go to their own medicine men, who compound 
 for them from barks, roots and herbs such medicine as is required, and such as 
 invariably restores them to health. Dyspepsia is almost unknown among the 
 Indians, yet with the white population in all parts of the country, it is one of th e 
 most common diseases. The disease is caused by indigestion and some of the 
 symptoms, which will be readily recognized by any one thus afflicted, are as fol 
 lows : Fullness after eating, Sour Stomach, Heartburn, rising of food in th 
 throat, pain at the pit of the stomach, palpitation of the heart, nervousness, fright- 
 full dreams, neuralgia, headache, etc. The reason this disease is so prevalent is 
 because no cases are cured by our modern physicians. The medicines they ad- 
 
11 
 
 minister only serve to aggravate, inflaming the stomach, drying up the secreriona 
 and stopping the flow of gastric juice, without which food cannot be properly 
 digested. The Indians never failing remedy for this disease is SAGWA, wlucb 
 
 quickly restores the digestive organs to a normal condition, purifies the blood and 
 cleanses the system af all impurities. For sale by all druggists. 
 
 JANY years ago there was a MEDICINE MAN in the tribe of Arrapaho 
 Indians, who on some accounts might well be compared with some of 
 the medical practictioners of the present day. Whatever the diagnosis, 
 his remedy was invariably the same, and consisted of beating upon a torn- torn, 
 yelling hideously and dancing wildly about the patient, until he was either fright 
 ened to death or recovered by a natural process. The physician of to-day, whether 
 he understands a case or not, puts on a wise and knowing look and at once pre- 
 tcribes poisonous pills and powders, which like the old Arrapaho Indian doctor 
 
12 
 
 rf&er kills the patient, or leaves him to recover by an effort of nature. The great 
 Medicine Men of the Kickapoos ridicule both. Their medicine contains no poison, 
 Mid by the use of Indian Sagwa, kidney complaints such as backache, lombago, 
 
 diabetes, Wright's disease, add all other kindred diseases having their origin in the 
 kidnevs are readily cured. 
 
 HEBE is no class of people in the world, except perhaps the Indians, that 
 realize the importance af health. Their power as an organization, depends 
 somewhat on the health of the adults and to ensure this the offspring 
 
 must be healthy. Among their ' 'squaws" 
 such diseases as are peculk 7 to woman, 
 and which are named below aik. ' unknown 
 while their alarming increase in the 
 present generation is admitted on every 
 hand. These diseases are : Constant and 
 periodical sick headache, weakness in the 
 back or kidneys, pain in the shoulders or 
 different parts of the body, a feeling of 
 lassitude and despondency, bearing down, 
 pains, prolepsis er retroversion of the 
 womb and many other complaints that 
 nee d not be mentioned. Hundreds of 
 ladies who have suffered for many 
 years and found no relief, have been 
 permanently . cured by using INDIAK

 is stated that no geologist ever yet found a valuable mine the 
 prospection being always at the front. The latter person illy provided, 
 traverses the length and breadth of the mineral region, facing many trials 
 and dangers. This was precisely what the great Medicine Men of the Kickapoo'a > 
 had to do in order to discover such medicinal material as is incorporated in SA&WA,,. 
 which is an unparalled remedy for liver complaints. Disease of the liver is re*?* 
 
 cognized by such symptoms as constipation, sick headache, chills and fever, 
 ague, pain in the right side, drowsiness, languor, jaundice, vertigo, etc. Whea, 
 the liver is diseased the symptoms arising from indigestion are greatly intensified, 
 and the patient feels sad and gloomy. INDIAN SAGWA aids the liver to resume it 
 natural function and tones up the nervous system. Call and see the Indian Doctors*

 >HEN the pilgrims first landed in this country they were brought face 
 to face with large bodies of red-men, in none of whom could be dis. 
 covered any trace of disease, and very seldom indeed would any 
 case of sickness be noted. This, to the pilgrims, was somewhat mysterious, as 
 their own ranks were constantly being decimated by sickness and death, notwith 
 standing the fact that they breathed the same air, drank of the same water and 
 substantially partook of the same kind of food. Sick headache, either bilious or 
 nervous, with the throbbing pains and prostration that ever attend it, did not afflict 
 the Indians; they were never troubled w*th a loss of appetite, or of indigestion or 
 sour stomach; they labored under no mental depression, a malady that greatly 
 
 troubled their white brothers, and their sleep waa peaceful and refreshing. 
 mystery was solved eventually, when it was found that the Indians depend upon 
 the forests for their medicines, and never, under any circumstances did they poison 
 their systems with drugs and chemicals. This was the state of affairs many years 
 ago, and ever since then the knowledge of the Indians in relation to medicine has 
 been increasing the wisdom of one generation being handed down and added to 
 another, until at last the Kickapoo Indians, after years of study, have discovered 
 that a combination of certain barks, roots and herbs possess medicinal qualities 
 mever before dreamed of, even in the wildest flights of imagination. The results of 
 this combination is the INDIAN SAGWA, and for the diseases named it has no <. qual 
 in the universe. Advise and consultation free 3

 I/THOUGH in the great West the Indians that roam over that vast 
 territory are irregular in their habits in relation to eating and drinking, 
 they suffer none of the consequences that are sure to attend a similiar 
 cause of living by the 
 averar citizen in this 
 |>art of the country. 
 Constipation or costive- 
 ness has made the lives 
 of many people miser 
 able, particularly when 
 the disease became con 
 tinued or chronic. This 
 is caused by the in 
 activity of the stomach, 
 bowels and liver. Ordi 
 nary cathartics given 
 merely furnish tem 
 porary relief and even 
 then only at the expense 
 
 of a permanent injnry 
 to the system from some 
 mineral poison. INDIAN 
 SAGWA does not injure 
 
 the most delicate organization; 
 but tones up the stomach and 
 liver, and helps nature to assert 
 
 her supremacy and expunge the disease from the svjstem. Freshly 
 made by the Indians, and sold by all druggists.

 This is the largest gland or organ in the human body, and on it depends the 
 health of the person owning it. Many of the diseases that human flesh is heir to

 elled over the territories inhabited by the Indians, have thus far never 
 come in contract with an Indian with his face swollen out of human 
 
 shape by that painfal' and 
 obstinate disease Neuralgia. 
 Never have they found one 
 writhing in extreme agony 
 with no remedial agent to 
 relieve him. This disease is 
 characterized by severe pains 
 in the head or some other

 fully described as lacerating 
 and even excruciating. It is 
 becoming more and more 
 prevalent in this country, 
 owing to climate changes,

 HE Indians, no matter where seen, are noted for erect figures, suppleness 
 of limbs and freedom of action. They are more exposed to heat, cold 
 and dampness than any other class of people, yet their bones are 
 
 never wracked by rheumatic pains. 
 Here, nearly one half the people comptain 
 at various times of rheumatism, which 
 is a disease much to be dreaded.' It is 
 always dangerous as it attacks one part 
 of the boby after the other, causing 
 the joints to be swelled out of shape 
 and permanently remain in that deformed 
 condition, and if not checked it soon 
 attacks the vital organs, and the victim 
 suffers intense agony, and finally meeti 
 with a premature death. This disease 
 can be effectually removed from the 
 system by using the SAGWA, prepared 
 only by the Indians, and sold by tJ3 
 druggists.

 'HIS secret, though much sought for, has never yet been discovered. 
 The nearest approach that has ever been made to it has been accom 
 plished by the Indians, who are noted for their longevity. Their ex 
 treme age and youthful appearance is easily accounted for by any one with a 
 thinking turn of mind. . First, their manner of living is more in harmony with 
 nature than any other class of people, in fact it is nature itself. Second, as 
 soon as sickness makes it appearance, they resort to nature for a cure, gathering 
 barks from certain trees, roots of a character known only to themselves, and herbs 
 of various species, from which they make their medicine, which invariably effects a 
 peedy cure. ~ There is cne among the number now in camp, who has reached th 
 
18 
 
 extreme age of NINETY Two, who would not be taken to be over fifty, It is a 
 fact that the INDIAN SAGWA owes its remarkable cures to the products of nature. 
 It is manufactured from barks, roots and herbs, known only to the Indians, 
 and can be made by none but them, because, they only know at what season there 
 is the most virtue in them, and when they should be gathered Had Medical 
 men of to-day the names of these ingredients, even then they would be useless to 
 them for the reason given above. The Indians however have the advantage, and 
 to such properties as comprise the SAGWA they owe their longevity. Sold by all 
 druggists. 
 
 MONG those who reap a rich harvest by their avocations in this country 
 may be mentioned the Dentist, whose work is increasing every year. 
 " Store teeth," as they are called, are far more often to be observed 
 
 than those furnished by nature, especially, 
 (we regret to state) among the ladies. 
 Defective teeth are often caused by a 
 disordered stomach, the poisonous gases 
 that arise therefrom effecting the teeth 
 and which results in decay. But who 
 ever saw an Indian crying with the 
 toothache! What patronage did a Dentist 
 ever get from the Indians ! Again did 
 any one ever see an Indian with a bad 
 set of teeth ? No ; sound teeth is one 
 of the many evidences of health notice 
 able among them, and their teeth are 
 noted for their fineness, firmness, eveness 
 
 and whiteness, and they always remain so until death. This is accounted for 
 from the fact that they are habitually chewing barks, roots and herbs, the 
 ame in character that are used in the manufacture of the INDIAN SACJWA and 
 which keeps the teeth in a constant state of preservation. Prepared and sold 
 by the Indians themselves and all druggists.

 HE almost perfect health that exists among the Indians as a race has beem 
 frequently commented upon by writers, who have oftentimes attributed 
 it to their abstemious habits and the fact they have not except in a few 
 
19 
 
 instances been addicted to dissipated habits and excesses. While it is true that 
 the drinking of intoxicants, the too free use of tobacco, and other excesses tend to 
 pull down the constitution and institute general decay in all parts of the system, 
 these are not the sole and main causes for all the physical suffering that is now 
 endured by the countless thousands of Americans and Europeans who go down to 
 untimely graves. If you will ask any experienced scout or hunter (and by these 
 we do not mean the numberless frauds who wear long hair and are travelling 
 through the country with theatrical companies) the secret of the Indians being 
 such physicial giants, he will tell you that it is because the Red Man has th 
 secret of knowing how 1o preserve his health the medicine men of the tribe* 
 treat with the mediciues that God intended they should use, the roots and herbs 
 that grow in the ground of the forests and the fields, the gums that ooze out of 
 the trunks of certain trees, the barks from other trees and the leaves of others. 
 While, if the Indians took these articles in their crude state and chewed them 
 they might not benefit him, when they are prepared in the manner that is a 
 secret with their medicine men, they become potent to cope with disease in almost 
 any .shape. Look at the perfection of the health of the aboriginals ; their form* 
 are stalwart and sinewy, their strength is the strength that we usually suppose 
 giants to possess, and they hardly know what it is to have any trouble of the 
 digestive organs. Their teeth are sound and perfectly white and remain in this 
 condition up to the day of their death. 
 
 The woman of the Indian race are as different, physically, from those of 
 our own, as night is from day. They are strong and usually accomplish more 
 arduous work than the men ; they can go on a long march, carrying their papa- 
 popses and giving them sustenance, after which, at night, when they encamp, they 
 will do all the necessary work and afterwards lie down and sleep sweetly until 
 early morning, when they arise, fresh and with none of that languor to which al 
 most nine-tenths of American woman are subject. If all the American men and 
 all American woman took the medicine of the Indians the great Sagwa they 
 would be as sound and perfect, physically as their red brothers. The Indian Sag 
 wa is the very best and purest preparation that the oldest medicine men are- 
 cognizant of and as certainly as the sun rises in the East, so certainly will it 
 eradicate forever from the system, all those manifold ills from which men and 
 women are to-day suffering the most excruciating agonies. Try it while you have 
 the opportunity. 
 
 the country way back in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont in particu- 
 lar every year fresh herbs are gathered " for sickness," and these are dried, 
 with care and stowed away for use. Go into the " garrets " (as they call 
 them) of any farm-house, and there you will see bunches of herbs hung up and 
 marked, and if any one in the family is sick, a doctor is not sent for at once, but 
 
down comes a bundle of herbs from which tea is brewed that generally cures tho 
 patient. The common remark of one neighbor to another when a visit to the sick 
 one is made is, " Have you given him (or her) any herbs ? " 
 
 Again, in the spring 
 of the year, from the 
 head down to the small 
 est child, in every family 
 must take spring bitters, 
 which is made of roots 
 and herbs, to cleanse, 
 their blood. This is 
 practiced all over the* 
 country, so spring bit 
 ters is another common 
 saying. 
 
 The Indians believe 
 in keeping the blood 
 pure, not only in spring 
 time, but all the year round, only to do this they have, after a dilligent search ol 
 many years, found that a combination of certain roots, herbs and barks will do 
 this, and will purify the blood, no matter how bad a condition it may be in. 
 Others know it too; and now when one meets another on the street the common 
 remark is, " Have you taken Sagwa ? " 
 
 has been said from time immemorable that an Indian will always be an 
 Indian to the end of the world. Well, in some cases he has proven such 
 but in others he has not. An Indian, it is said never forgives an injury, 
 That may, or may not be true, but we are inclined to believe he does some 
 times forgive an injury, otherwise there would be no "medicine men" of the 
 Kickapoo's with us ; for are they not descendents of the tribe that ceased to exist 
 many years ago, and that were driven from their homes by the greed of the white 
 man; It was a long while ago to be sure, still they must be descendents. But then 
 allowing the supposition to be true, that they never forgive an injury, cannot the 
 same be said of the white people of any nationality every day in the week ? But 
 it can also be said and with more truth, that he never torgets a kindness, and thig 
 Cannot be said of the white race.

 The Indians in this city have done untold kindness to the community by 
 coming here and disposing of the Indians Sagwa. They alone know how^o make 
 it, and although they will not divulge the secret, they give us the benefit of their 
 knowledge. The Indians have great regard for their word and they tell you upon 
 their word of honor the Sagwa is manufactured from roots, herbs and barks and 
 contain no mineral poison. Some of the roots have to be gathered at a certain 
 
 season, to be of use; it is the same with all the ingredients, and then they must be 
 handled very carefully to return and extract their medical qualities. There is no 
 doubt of this assertion, and it is an insult to disbelieve their word of honor ; but in 
 is a deadly insult for a physician to insult you by poisoning your system with drugs 
 which they know will lead to a premature death. Indian Sagwa does not do this. 
 If it does you no good, when taken for and what recommended, it will be almost ft 
 miracle. But it will never do you any harm. 
 
 MF there lingers in the mind of the reader any doubt concerning the authenti 
 city of the matter published in this paper, it can be easily dispelled by a 
 visit to the encampmemt of the Indians. If you have any doubts about these 
 being veritable Indians, you can be convinced in the same way, and you can gain 
 admission free during the day. If you have any doubts concerning the virtues of 
 their medicine, when taken for the disease it is recommended, try a bottle at all 
 hazzards, then you can but be satisfied. 
 
 It is strange, but nevertheless true, that these Indians do not claim that 
 their Sagwa will cure everything. It is strange, because nearly all .the medicine 
 put up in bottles is recommended to cure any disease that either the human of 
 
&e brute creation are liable. But they make no such statement. They tell yon 
 frankly that the Sagwa will nrt cure everything, neither do they promise that 
 one bottle will cure you of a long standing disease. But they do tell you that ii 
 you have liver complaint, any disease of the kidneys, although they are compli 
 cated and numerous, or are troubled with dispepsia you can be cured by the use 
 of Sagwa. This, with them, is no idle boast ; they stand ready to offer convinc 
 ing proof of their statements. If they had not the utmost confidence in the Sagwa, 
 they would probably act after the manner of agents, or manufacturers of patent 
 medicine (with whom they should not be confounded), by coming among you, mak 
 ing a great display, flooding the city with advertisements, disposing upon falsa 
 statements of as much of their medicine as possible, and then departing for parts 
 unknown, leaving you with the experience, while they would pocket the money. They 
 do nothing of the kind. They stay among you, month after month, like honest 
 men, and this in itself should be sufficient proof that their Sagwa has all the viff. 
 tues that is claimed for it. 
 
 Does the thief who steals your watch or pocket-book remain by your side 
 weeks upon weeks ? No. He secludes himself from you. Does the " Peter 
 Funk " auctioneer, or the forger who has succeeded in getting a worthless check 
 cashed, remain near the scene of his exploits ? No. He seeks " fresh fields aad 
 pastures new." 
 
 The Indians have nothing to fear, because they are doing a legitimate busi 
 ness, and are giving many times more than an equivalent for the money they re 
 ceive. They are honest and truthful concerning their great medicine, which is 
 composed wholly of roots herbs and barks, and have no occasion to run away. They 
 fear not to meet one who has purchased their Sagwa, because they know its re 
 medial power, and know that it will stand the test of trial.

 is hardly a person over four years of age that does not kno\r that 
 the country we now inhabit, was once the property of Indians, But on a 
 bright morning they were surprise to see ships approaching the coast, 
 gomething they knew not of ; consequently they were alarmed. Could they have 
 known the future they would have been more alarmed and doubtless would have 
 extermiated the entire number in the vessels. But they did not, and the Indians 
 
 as the white population increased, were driven from their lands to the westward 
 further and further as emigration continued until they are now at peace only be 
 yond the Eocky Mountains. Weil, history is repeated here, for now the white race 
 are obliged to follow in their footsteps to gain a lively hood. 
 
 This they can do, but there is one thing they cannot do and that is, to gain 
 their knowledge concerning the medicinal qualities in roots, herbs and barks. 
 Although in a country where there are no physicians (except their own) within 
 hundreds of miles, liable at any time to an accident, a long and deep cut, bruises 
 and contusion or some disorder of the human system, they have only to apply to 
 nature, as found in the forests, and they find such remedies as at once restores them 
 
24 
 
 to a sound physical condition. This the white men in crossing the Plains cannot 
 do, and when sick or lame, has seek to some Indian village for relief. 
 
 To introduce their medicine ' and to 
 relieve as far as in their power the misery 
 now in our midst, a large party of " me 
 dicine men" have visited this city and can 
 be seen daily. The Indian Sagwa, which has met with such immense sale and 
 perfected so many cures, is composed wholly of roots, herbs and barks gathered by 
 them and contains nothing that would injure an infant, and its effacacy in cases of 
 *ny disease arising from the liver is beyond comprehension.

 lady residing in the State of Maine, had been in extreme agony for year, 
 and had more than once been under the surgeons knife in consequences 
 of a cancer on the breast* She had tried doctors far and near for relief 
 
26 
 
 each of whom was positive mat he could remove it, but no benefit was received. 
 Finally when she had given up all hope, there came to the village aparty of Indians, 
 
 who pitcthed their tents on the out 
 skirts and commenced to make bas 
 kets, canes and bows and arrows, 
 which they sold for their inaintainence. 
 The females sold the basket and the 
 bead work from house to house in the 
 village, and in the course of time one 
 of them, an old woman called at the 
 house of the sick lady mentioned^ 
 who bought some of her wares. The 
 Indian woman expressed much sym 
 pathy and asked the nature of hep 
 complaint, and upon being informed, asked what remedies had been applied or 
 taken internally. Upon being told she said : " No good; make white squaw sick 5 
 me bring good medicine ; 
 make lady well; you take 
 my medicine ? " Thinking 
 that no medicine could 
 make her worse, she an 
 swered in the affirmative 
 and the Indian woman at 
 once departed. In two 
 days she returned, bring 
 ing a bottle of medicine 
 and a box of salve, and 
 said: "You put salve on 
 sore, take so much medi 
 cine," designating with her finger " three times every sun ; then when 
 gone me bring more ; you be well soon." The medicine was taken as directed 
 
 rithout the least idea of being benefitted ; but contrary to expectations, she re 
 covered fully. 
 
 Now, the Indians do not claim that the Sagwa prepared by them will remove a 
 cancer, because it has never been to their knowledge, tried for that purpose. . Ifc 
 
27 
 
 kas never been recommended by them for that disease, yet it would undoubtedly 
 operate favorably in such a case, for it purifies the blood and expunges any poison 
 
 ous matter from the system. There is no case on record of an Indian having a 
 cancer and it can be accounted for from the fact that they use their Sagwa freely 
 from infancy, and this medicin<^ instead of being made of chemicals and cheap 
 Hquor that poison the entire system, is made of barks, (or certain parts of barks? 
 reots and herbs, the names cC which are known only to themselves.
