This little native is tied ,to a board after the fashion of his people. His board (or bed) is made soft and easy, and decorated in the most beautiful fashion with ribbons of differ ent bright colors which suits the taste of the mother. By this arrangement the little one is kept warm and comfortable, and its limbs are kept straight until the child is about fifteen or eighteen months of age. The spine by this is kept straight and free from curvature. This little papoose is the son of American Horse and Dove Wing, and was born in Octo ber, 1885. Luk-Cay-Oti, or Spotted Wolf. ti, or Spotted Jf'olf, is a splendid specimen of his race, the Great Pawnee Tribe of Indians, whose cunning, courage, and daring places them in the front rank with the large and warlike tribes of this continent. Like the Warm Spring Indians, the Pawnees have served the United States Government an many occasions ; and all tribes who were hostile to the Government were the Pawnees' natural enemies. The great tribe of Snake Indi ans, who, for many years, were raiding the country from the Rockies to the Cascades, making the country hot for white settlers as well as the friendly tribes, whenever they ventured east of the Kockies, the Pawnees gave them battle, and when they came too far west the Warm Springs were ready to offer them hos tile reception. In 1865 the Snakes surprised a small village of Pawnees. They captured and held as prisoners some of the Pawnee women and children, and carried them west of the Kockies. LuJt- Cay- Oti and his mother were among the prisoners. The following year the Government were endeav oring to punish the Snake Indians for their cruel and savage raids upon while settlers in Oregon. General George Crook, commanding the forces, found that it was alrflost impossible to operate against them with an army encum bered with wagon trains, supplies, and ammunition. Donald M.cKay, at the head of two hundred Warm Spring Indians, was employed by the Gov ernment to fight the Snakes ; and in the winter season, when the troops were snug in winter quarters, the Warm Spring Indians commenced to raid their enemies, being armed and equipped by the Government. They soon had the Snakes running, and they kept them running, taking scalps, ponies, and peltries; they drove them over four hundred miles, forced them into the mountains, where the snows were deep; they compelled them through starvation to sur render. Among the prisoners taken was a little boy, the Pawnee prisoner. His mother had been killed by the Snakes to prevent her escaping to her own tribe and telling how the Snakes were being whipped by the Warm Springs. The little Pawnee was taken by the Warm Springs to their Reservation, and raised among them; he speaks their dialect. As he grew up he exhibited a restless desire to leave his friends; and, although he knew nothing of his own people, he was uneasy west of the Rockies. He was handsome, straight, supple, and ambitious, uneasy to go away ; and when the Warm Spring warriors, who had taken him from his enemies, returned from their trip to Europe, and came back to the Reservation and told of the countries they had seen, he de clared that when any more of the Indians went east to join the show he would go, too. Donald McKay sent him east, in July, 1883, to join the Warm Spring [2] FOR SALE BY DRUGGISTS. Indian show that was then traveling in Pennsylvania. Col. Edivarcls, the manager, received the young fellow, and placed him on the stage to participate in giving to the white people the ceremonies, habits, and customs of the Indi ans. The Young Pawnee soon began to look around, and, being quick of observation, he concluded he could show the white people that he could learn their manner of entertaining audiences ; and whenever he got an opportunity he practiced bending and posturing. In a short time he could do most of the tricks i usually practiced by the professional contor tionist. His lithe form, his compact frame, his dogged determination to accomplish, soon made him a favorite with the audiences wherever he exhibited, and not having any one to show him the regular routine of tricks usually prac ticed by the professional, he mastered and \ produced some that had never been done by any other athlete. His fine figure excites ad miration as he stands in unstudied and natural attitude. His movements, snake-like, are po etical grace unaffected, while his quick and rapid movements almost bailie the eye of the beholder as he writhes in a succession of light ning-like contortions. Although 1 a full-blooded Pawnee Indian, his disposition is mild and rather retiring, thinking of nothing except how to please the audiences who come to see him. He does not speak English very well, but manages to make himself understood. He is one of the principal features of the show now traveling through the country in- troduoing their Indian medicines.

FOR SALE BY DRUGGISTS. SCAR FACED BEAR, Hero of the Lava Beds, Is a Warm Spring Indian. WKile he is ignorant of lore learned from books, he has learned much from the great teacher, Nature, and in plain forest and mountain craft he is unexcelled. He is an unerring shot, a splendid trailer, a good horseman, and possessed of an abundance of that cool courage so essen tial to an Indian. In the course of his career he has passed through adven tures of the most startling and hazardous description, though he rarely speaks about himself, and what we have learned of his history was gleaned by dint of much questioning in conversations around the camp-fire. Physically he is a splendid specimen of manhood. His body is covered with scars received in battle. He is tall, broad&houldered*, deep-chested, and as strong as a moun tain lion. ONE HEROIC DEED is recorded of this noble red man which may be of interest to our readers. While in the employ of the TJ. S. Government, Scar Faced Bear, at the head of a party of Warm Spring Indians, was detailed to es cort an emigrant train across the country. The only fear was from the Modocs, whom the Warm Springs were aiding the Government to whip. Among these emigrants was a family named Goldsmith, consisting of John, his wife and daughter, Alice. The latter was a beautiful girl of seventeen, as gentle as a dove and as fair as a lily. Goldsmith was from one of the older States and had been a man of some property. Alice had been reared in comparative luxury, but the rough camp life of the emigrants seemed to agree with her, and she was as happy and light-hearted as a field lark. In their journey towards the land of promise the emigrants followed the old Overland trail and reached Crag's Canyon without accident or startling adventure. They arrived at the entrance to the canyon just at night, and Scar Faced Bear, who was riding in advance, assured the tired travelers that they would soon reach a camping place. So far he had discovered no fresh Indian sign and he was hopeful of conducting the party to their destination without meeting any of the Modocs. Finally, half way through the canyon, they reached a little spring of pure water and prepared to camp for the night. The tired horses and mules were unhitched from the great "prairie schooners" (they had been dragging through the hot alkali sand all day), and after being side-lined and hoppled, were turned loose to graze under charge of two men. [18] ATTACKED BY MODOCS. Some of the emigrants gathered fire-wood and their wives and daughters began to prepare their coarse eventide meal. The little children played to gether in the sand. Scar Faced Bear shouldererd his rifle, and, entering a rough arroyo, began to climb toward the top of the mountain through which the canyon ran. He wanted to take an observation and make sure that there -were no Indians prowling about the camp. This was the red man's favorite place of attack upon emigrant trains and was admirably fitted by nature for an ambuscade. The canyon walls were rough and broken, composed of great masses of huge bowlders which had been torn from the side of the mountain during some terrible convulsion of nature. Among these rocks a thousand Indians could secrete themselves and with their rifles hurl a shower of death down upon anyone passing through the canyon. Scar Faced Bear was halfway up the mountain when a deafening and blood-curdling yell rose high above the innocent prattle of the children playing about the sand. The opposite canyon wall caught the sound waves and hurled them back in a thousand echoes. A hundred painted Indians leaped from their hiding places ; there was a confused rattle of firearms, shrieks, groans, curses, screams. Scar Faced Bear saw that the emigrants were attacked by an overwhelming force and he sank down among the rocks with a shudder of apprehension. Suddenly a woman's scream rent the air and 'he started to his feet and peered down the arroyo. Alice Goldsmith was struggling up the rocky defile, closely pursued by two Indians. Her long golden hair streamed behind her and her face was white with terror. Scar Faced Bear determined to save her. He raised his Winchester, took quick aim at the foremost Indian, pulled the trigger, and instantly covering the red man's companion, fired again. Both of the bucks dropped down among the rocks dead, and Scar Faced Bear ran toward the poor fugitive who had fallen to the ground overcome with fatigue and terror. He raised her up and whispered a few encouraging words into her ear. " If we can only reach the top of the mountain," Jie said, we can escape. Lean on me and I will help you." The trembling girl obeyed and they reached the top of the mountain with out attracting the attention of the Indians, who were busily engaged in the canyon below, scalping the slain and plundering the wagons. Scar Faced Bear and Alice Goldsmith had alone escaped massacre. To gether they struck out across the mountain and eventually, after many priva tions and much sufferings, reached Fort Warner. Scar Faced Bear reported the presence of Indians and a party of soldiers started out, under his guidance, to pursue and punish the red murderers, ,rhen he returned to the post, after an unsuccessful search for the Indians, who had hidden themselves among the rocky canyons. One year after, the uncle of Alice Goldsmith presented Scar Faced Bear with a fine rifle.

He is one of the original eighteen who were brought East in 1874 on exhibi tion. He was in Europe with the troupe. He is very old, and although he has been traveling for many years, he has not learned to speak English. The old Indians do not learn the language of the Pale Face as readily as the children and the younger Indians. Ka-Ros-Ka, however, has been of great service to the troupe, by his wonderful memory of the remedies used by the Indians. He knows what will cure cancer, and can go to the woods and bring in a remedy for consumption. He superintends the making of KA-TON-KA, and is a firm believer in the mysterious incantation practiced by the Pacific Coast Indians before the Pale Face ever made his appearance amongst them. Swift Runner is a good specimen of his race, tall, straight, and quick of ac tion. His eye has that nervous, restless motion that characterizes the wild Indian. He takes a great in terest in the sick people who come to get their medicines, and gives them the benefit of his knowl edge.

The Navajoe Indians, when they worship the Great Spirit, by daticiiijj the'Kire Dance, -which has caused much comment from White Ieople who have witnessed it, smear their bodies -with a clay that is first moistened with the bruised leaves of the Snake Weed, which is also used in poisons of all kinds. The Mosquito Indians, the Zunis, the Pueblos and the Mpdocs have used the same remedy for hundreds of years for the cure of Snake Bites, Stings of Bees, Poisons of all kinds, and all inflammatory Pains. They formerly gathered the remedy only when required for immediate use. Other tribes had tried in vain to obtain the secret of this medicine, but the Indians preserving this knowledge, were too crafty and cunning. The Warm Spring Indians had on several occasions offered to trade with the Modocs, offering horses, cattle and sheep for the secret of the medicine, but no inducements prevailed, and the Modoc Indians religiously kept the secret to themselves. In 1872 the Modoc War broke out. The Modocs took refuge in the Lava Beds. The soldiers tried unsuccessfully for several months to dislodge them. Peace Commis sioners were sent from Washington to coax them out of their stronghold the effort cost the commissioners their lives. Then Donald McKay and the Warm Spring Indians were employed by the Government to fight the Modocs, with permission to torture according to Indian customs. Seventy-one Warm Spring Indians entered the Lava Beds. The fight lasted three days. The Modocs then broke cover and attempted to escape, but the Warm Springs were hot upon their trail, and in three weeks the Mo docs were all killed or captured. Whilst they were begging for their scalps and lives, the Warm Spring Indians succeeded in getting {/heir secret from them. Donald McKay then forbade his warriors putting to torture any of the captives. They were, therefore, turned over to the Government, granted a trial and were executed October 3, 1873.* The Warm Spring Indians had learned from the whites how to preserve the virtues of their medicine with alcohol so that it could be prepared for the market.

But for four long years I have been wasting away, owing to Dyspepsia and Affections of the Liver and Kid neys, which brought on a complication of diseases undermining the body and mind. During this period I had recourse to every remedy, patent and professional, that I could possibly avail myself of, without any material benefit. At last the Indian Ka- Ton-Ka, the great "Nature's Gift to Nature's Children," was providentially brought before my notice, and I tried it. This, in a very short time, produced a new tone to the system, giving strength and vigor to the body as well as." buoyancy and courage to the mind. I feel now comparatively well, and believe that by continuing to take the Indian Ka-Ton-Ka, I shall soon enjoy my former health and comfort. And I deem it my duty to suffering humanity to bear this testimony to the above great Nature's remedy. YOUNGSTOWN, O. ,Sept. 14, 1883. DANIEL G. GRIFFITH. RHEUMATISM CURED.

Minnie came East in the Spring of 1874, with her father and mother and 18 of her people, who had just made their great record as Indian fighters, conquering Captain Jack and his band of Modocs, and ending an Indian war that has no parallel in American history. She was then only six years old. She accompanied her parents and the troupe to Europe, visiting Austria, Germany, Belgium, Scotland and England; in all of these countries she was much admired and petted. The troupe returned to America in the spring of 1876, and remained during that snmmer in Philadelphia. The winter of 1876-77 she made her first appearance in school, her manager, Col. L. A. Edwards, sending her to the fourth ward public school in Pittsburgh, Pa., where she remained during the winter. She afterward attended school in Detroit, Chicago and other cities where the troupe remained for any length of time. She thus acquired a fair education, as she was apt and studious. The Warm Spring Indians are great riders, and MINNIE ^ Was no exception, always on horseback when op portunity offered. When she was only thirteen years of age she accomplished the most wonderful feat of horsemanship ever attempted by any person, viz: Riding Fifty Miles in Three Hours, using fifteen ponies, changing horses every mile. She saved the race by twelve minutes, accomplishing a feat never before attempted by any woman. The following account of her death will be read by the many people who knew her with genuine feelings of sorrow: [23] DEATH OF MINNIE McKAY. "How is Miss Minnie getting along?" asked a gentleman, meeting Donald McKay in the street a short time ago. The great scout's head drooped upon his breast for a moment, then, looking at his questioner, he answered in faltering tones, while the tears rolled down his cheeks, that Minnie was dead. She had caught cold last spring, while tending the medicine in the Aquarium, Thirty-fifth Street, New York, and after rallying from the first attack, had a relapse, and died while en route for Warm Springs, Oregon, with her mother. Indians are noted for. their stolid demeanor, seldom showing any outward manifestation of sorrow or pleasure ; yet this brave warrior, noted for his cool composure and courage, gave way to his feelings, as, in trembling tones he answered the questions put to him. To any one knowing McKay well, it w'ould have seemed strange to witness such deep grief in a man so self-contained, even stoical. But it showed the more plainly how severe the affliction was, and what a crushing blow to the father's loving heart. To the mauy friends of the McKays, the news of Minnie's death will come with startling suddenness. She was universally known and loved, a favorite with all, and a great attraction wherever she went. A brief history of her short life will no doubt prove interesting to many. Minnie McKay, the only child of Donald McKay, the famous Indian scout, was born April 13, 1867, and came east with her parents shortly after the close of the Modoc War, in which contest between the Indians and whites McKay rendered such great service to the United States Government. Although constantly traveling in this country and Europe with her father, he gave her every opportunity to secure a good education, and took great pride in her proficiency in various accomplishments. She was a fine performer upon several musical .instruments, particularly the guitar and piano, was exceed ingly modest and well-bred, quiet and unassuming, yet possessing abundant self- possession and dignity. Every one who met her admired and respected her, and her pretty face and pleasing manners made her a favorite with young and old. Her health was poor at times, during the past winter, but no alarm was felt by her parents until March, when her exposure to the strong draughts in the Aquarium building, where the Indian Medicine was being sold, resulted in a severe attack of pneumonia. Upon her recovery, her father sent her on the way home to Oregon, accompanied by her mother. The young girl had formed many pleasant anticipa tions of what she would do, when she reached the home she had not seen for nine years, planning improvements, continuing her studies, and waiting for her father's return. But her anticipations were never to be realized. On the way home she had a relapse, pleuro-pneumonia set in, and she died July 12, at San Francisco, before reaching the friends she was expecting to see after so long an absence. The news of her death unnerved and disheartened the father as no danger nor hardship could ever have done. He fairly idolized his daughter, and her death, coming so suddenly upon their first separation, made the affliction even harder to bear. Tor ture could never have made Donald McKay wince, but his child's death bowed his proud head, and cast a gloom upon his life nothing can ever efface. His hopes, his pride, and his happiness are buried in the small grave in the cemetery at San Francisco, Cal., where his child lies. Time may make him more submissive to the infliction, but it will not lighten his grief, nor make him forget it. The light of his home has been extinguished, the warmth of his heart has been chilled. The loss of fame, fortune and friends he would have counted as nothing ; but the loss of his daughter has humbled his proud spirit, and dimmed the fierce flash of his eyes. FOR SALE BY DRUGGISTS.

These little Indian girls are objects of great interest with the Warm Spring Indian Troupe. Their wild nature make them coy and reserved, their black eyes flash suspicion and de light alternately as the many white people crowd around and offer them kindnesses and desire to get acquainted a thing that can not be accomplished at once. Their Indian nature requires more than *-" passing acquaintance to gain their | /- confidence.

So jealous is she of her sister that she watches every move that is made by their visitors.

This fond love for their relations is one of the Indian characteristics.

In nearly every Indian lodge their are traditions of numerous wrongs extending back many years, talked over by the old, and it is no wonder that their children have suspicion and distrust of all their white friends. These two little Indian girls are no exception, and, although they have loring natures, they prefer to confine their affections to their own race. [29! HOW THE INDIANS CURE RHEUMATISM The Indians, and the white people for that matter, who follow beaver trapping for a living, are subject to rheumatism. When they come into the trading post to sell their peltries they are subject to all sorts of dissipation. There are the drink ing houses, dance houses, gambling houses, with their allurements and temptations to get the trappers' money. Most of them fall an easy victim to the many oppor tunities offered to enjoy themselves. The result is, their liver and kidneys become disordered, and when they return to the mountains, exposing themselves each day to the cold water (as they have to go into the water to examine their traps), they are soon stiffened in their joints and suffering the acute pains of rheumatism. No- convenient doctor or handy drug store within reach, they therefore have to adopt the Indian Cure and try Nature's Remedy. Now, there is no medicine in the world will cure rheum atiam. alone after it has once settled in the joints. KA-TON-KA will set the kidneys right, but the poison that has already formed and settled in ^ joints can not be removed by taking medicine internally. So these trappers do -f the Indians do ; they ^ake of hemlock, pine or spruce the boughs and heat stones red hot by building a fire over them. They then roll them into a sweat-oven that they make out of mud. Then they take a gourd full of water and a bundle of these boughs, crawl into the sweat house, and by dipping the boughs in the water, then whipping them on the hot stones, they create steam which sweats them. Like the Indians, they have super stitions, and they take twenty-one of these sweats, taking internally the Indian Ka-Ton-Ka all the time, which regulates the kidneys and purifies the blood. When they have taken twenty-one sweats the worst case of rheumatism is cured, and they have not spent a cent of money either for drugs or doctor. Any one can cure him self the same way. Take a handful of boughs of the hemlock, spruce or pine ; put it into a bucket ; pour the bucket full of boiling water ; set it under a splint or cane-bottom chair ; put the patient in the chair with plenty of blankets wrapped around up to the neck. Do not remove the blankets until sweat has stopped flow ing ; take twenty-one sweats and take KA-TON-KA according to directions, three times a day, and take the sweats every day or every other day, or at least twice a week, and rheumatism will soon be unknown to you.

NEZ PERCE CATARRH REMEDY. . (Zakate, Commonly known as the Alkali Plant,) A PERFECT CURE FOR CATARRH. There is no greater enjoyment of nat ure's triumphs, and no greater safeguard against noxious things of all kinds* than a healthy nose. We hold the world's specific for this terrible scourge, catarrh and hay fever the most filthy, loathsome, and determined diseases that afflict the human family, sinking their poisonous germs deeper and deeper into the throat and lungs of its helpless victims, bringing them down to consumption, which daily sweeps from our midst those who, either from ignorance or want of energy, will make no effort for their own salvation, or are content with consulting ignorant charlatans, who palm off their injurious compounds upon the too credulous suf ferer. If you have Catarrh, be sure and try this great Indian Remedy. [31 I THE INDIAN'S FINE HEALTH. Medicine is and always has been the great mystery of earth, and this fact is admitted" by the most learned of those who practice it. It is also admitted that the mystery is now as dark as ever. Still, a bountiful Providence has, since He first created the world, ever furnished remedies that would, when properly administered, relieve mankind of the ills and sufferings which their own sins or their misfortunes brought upon them. In the bosom of the earth He planted them, and to the seemingly most igno rant of His creatures, He early imparted in some way instruction in the use of the healing herbs. This was in accordance with His wonderful kindness that bestows upon the least blessed with His bounties the greatest amount of care. The Indian was never given the blessings of civilization, or power to create creat ure comfort for himself, neither was he endowed with any desire for such refinements. To the Indian was given almost perfect health or a power to quickly restore it. Those who read may learn, and those who have traveled know full well the wondrous phys ical perfection of these sons and daughters of the forest wilds, their power of sustain ing the mosi exquisite torture, of enduring the most marvelous fatigues and famine, of performing the most astonishing feats of strength and agility, and of undergoing exposure and privations that romancers cannot rival. The braves and even the merest boys survive wounds that would quickly put to death the stoutest soldier of civili zation. Their squaws perform labors and travel that would be utterly impossible to the most robust woman of the white world. All, unless taken off by violence from enemies, live to an age that is unknown elsewhere on the earth. An Indian brave will follow the trail when wounded even unto death. The Indian woman will be on the march, papoose in her arms, within two hours after the birth of the little one. This is but an instance adduced, in regard to each sex, to illustrate the vitality that fills* each nerve and organ of the bodies of this wonderful race. The facts we have re- citei above are so well known to scientists, historians, students, travelers and all in telligent and well read people that it is unnecessary for us to enter into elaboration of proof. It would, however, be false and foolish to assert that the Indian never suffers from disease he does, and from the worst scourges that afflict mankind when they are brought upon him or her by contact with depraved whites. But it is equally true that the Indian does not sufier long. The perfect knowledge possessed by the medicine man of his tribe brings the most speedy relief known to nature, and the fact that regular and previous medication is attended to, so fits the body to throw off disease that recov ery is certain. Indeed this system of regular medication at stated times is the grand reason of the enjoyment of perfect health, spite of continued exposure, and the reason also that disease does not more often and fatally attack even when directlv exposed to it. The remedies used by Indian Medicine men are simply roots, herbs, plants and shrubs. The proper administration and preparation of these has been traditionally handed down from one to another, for ages even before the Aborigines were inhabitants of the continent of America. Their history is all tradition and of all romance the most wonderful and exciting. A use of the preparations made by the medicine men made at certain stated intervals by all the tribe, is part of the Indian religion, and to this is ascribed that vitality which renders them rivals of the Gods of mythology. Dyspep sia, that curse of civilization, is to the Indian unknown, though one of his vices is that of at times gorging himself with unhealthy food to an extent that would kill a white man in an hour. Headache, to brave or squaw, kidney or liver diseases, neural gia, female disorders, bilious attacks, sleeplessness, rheumatism, and all the curses that afflict "society," are as little feared by the red man as the bite of a single mosquito by a stout Jersey farmer. The preparation of this remedy is known only to the In dians and their white agents, who from many years residence among them, have become to be considered as their brothers, and even these white agents are not en trusted with all the secrets of the medicine men and the tribe. Certain religious cere monies and certain processes in the previous preparation of the roots, herbs, shrubs, barks, etc., etc., are alone known to those who have received the sacred traditions, and who dare reveal them only to others of their own race. The herbs of the Eastern States are pretty familiar to the whites and most extensively and satisfactorily used, but the chief saving virtues that grow in and from the earth are in the western, south ern and extreme localities, and these aloire the red man can find and prepare, and the fear of losing the power to obtain these .life-giving, life-preserving gifts of God is the principal cause of the refusal of their sales of certain reservations, selected by them selves, and their wars to retain other localities which they will not even allow the white man to press with his foot. The loss of these lands to the Indians means loss of medi cal plants whereby he makes and preserves his life. The Indians believe that when the blood is kept pure they are proof against disease, and .in the spring and fall of the year they make proper use of the great blood purifier, KA-TON-KA, which is all that is necessary to bring about this grand result.

Donald McKay, whose picture you notice on the back cover of this book, was scout, guide, and interpreter for the United States government from 1852 till 1874, when he achieved his greatest victory in conquering Captain Jack and his hostile Modocs. Af ter two thousand soldiers and Oregon volunteers had been fight ing the Modocs for seven months without making any impression, Doiiold McKay, with only seventy-one Warm Spring Indians, killed and captured the whole band. His people, the Warm Spring Indians, think him the greatest man that ever lived, and 'he undoubtedly is the greatest of his class of men. He has traveled extensively, speaks English, Ger man, French, and Spanish, besides many Indian tongues spoken west of the Rocky Mountains. In 1876, whilst in Pittsburgh, Pa., he concluded to do something that had never been done before, although many of his white friends had tried to get from him .secrets that the Indians never divulge; that is, the secrets of their medicines, although he never was a medicine man amongst his people. His reputation had been built upon a more lofty and enduring foundation, but his association with the army, and his extensive acquaintance with white people, induced him not to tell the secrets of his medicines, but to introduce them himself. Ac cordingly he associated himself with T. A. Edwards, an old ac quaintance and friend, and a company was formed for the pur pose of doing something that had never been done before the introduction of Real Indian Medicines. Donald McKay got the people of his tribe to gather the remedies in their proper seasons, dry them, and have them sent east to him and his partner. They disposed of them in the condition the Indians had sent them, leaving it to the sick persons to prepare for themselves. Many who bought them either prepared them carelessly, or neglected to prepare them at all, and the medicines did not always give the , satisfaction they would have done if they had been properly pre pared. Whilst in Boston in 1882, they were shown by the drug gists how to prepare their medicine so that it could be bottled, and take its place amongst proprietary remedies. Since that time it has met with great success. As it is now of uniform quality and strength, the patient does not have to rely upon careless or indifferent people to prepare it for him, and the public have a pure and genuine Indian Medicine. This is the first time in the his tory of this country that a Genuine Indian Medicine was given to the public, gathered, prepared, and sold by the Indian themselves.
