SIX MONTHS IN
a CHINESE PRISON
Being the Experience of a Young
Man Who Loup City a
Few Weeks Ago.
The Tortures of Hades.
Ever been in prison—No? Well,
take a fool’s advice and don’t do any
thing to get sent there for and be
careful that you are not sent there
whether you did anything or not, as
it isn’t a nice place to spend a vaca
tion in, especially six months.
Six months in an American prison
is not so bad—that is, I have been
told so by those who have been there
—but six months in a Chinese prison
with a charge of being a spy is h-.
Such was the lot that befell me in
China during the Boxer uprising
there.
Unless you have visited the killing
pens in a packing house you can not
form a very good idea of the filthiness
of a Chinese prison. Unless yon have
seen the dirty negroes and foreigners
; who kill the cattle in the packing
1 houses, you cannot form a mind pic
ture of the uncleanliness of the
Chinese prisoners and employees in a
Chinese prison, Unless you have been
in the fertilizing department of a
packing house your imagination can
not do justice to the stench in a
| Chinese penal institution. The next
time you visit a city go through the
1 above departments of a packing plant
! and then you will have but a faint
, representation of what I experienced
during my six months’ incarceration
In a Chinese prison in the nortti parti
of Ciiina.
Only one other English speaking
person was confined there while 1 w as.
He was an Englishman from London
and in the rest of this article I will
call him Jack.
The prison was a low dirty brick
building of four wings and was built
to accomodate only two hundred
prisoners, while at no time during
our confinement was there less than
five hundred prisoners—the majority
of them being Chinese and Italians.
The prison was surrounded by high
walls which were built only about
fifty yards away from the building.
Thirty or forty guards walked on top
of this wall day and night, and as
there was only one exit escape was
impossible and any attempt at escape
was certain death.
Although Jack and 1 were allowed
| more priviliges than the rest of the
prisoners, we w ere more closely guard
ed than the rest, never being allowed
! to walk the grounds inside the walls
without two guards at our side and
without being chained together. To
use the broken English expression of
the prison manager, or whatever lie
might be called, Jack and I were
“muche dangelous Melican spies.”
As word of explanation let me say
that Jack' an I were newspaper corre
spondents—Jack for an English paper
and I for an American paper, but one
day we got too bold and slipped into
the enemies camp and were captured
and held as spies. If we had been
anything but English and American
we would have been immediately shot,
but the Chinese are very much afraid
of England and America, so it was
decided that we should be held for
ransom. Such hell, pardon my using
the term, as we experienced during
that six months can never be told by
tongue or pen.
Poor Jack did not live to tell of his
troubles, as a few months after we
secured our release he was killed in
the Phillipines, while I escaped with
only a few bullet wounds, the scars
of which I must carry through life.
Sincerely yours, G. B. W.
Hot Springs Doctors
The Last Announcement
of Their Coming Apr.
6, 7 and 8.
As was announced in previous issues
of tiiis paper Dr. Gordon, one of the
Hot Springs Doctors, will arrive in
Loup City March 6 and remain three
days, until March 8. While here Dr.
Gordon will receive patients at the
St. Elmo hotel. Consultation and
examination is free of charge and all
curable cases will be treated free ex
cept for bare cost of medicines used.
Incurable cases will not be accepted
for treatment at any price or under
any condition.
Dr. Gordon is visiting the best
towns in the state for advertising
purposes. The object is to secure a
few difficult cases that he can cure
cases that other doctors have failed
to cure and have given up as hopeless.
These cured patients will be good
advertisements and will show what
this wonderful Hot Springs System
of home treatment will do.
As stated above the Nebraska State
Institute is located at 14th and O
streets, Lincoln. Many people would
naturally litsitate about going to
Lincoln to be treated unless they
could see what this Hot Springs
System has done for others. This is
the object of Dr. Gordon's advertis
ing trip—to cure a few cases in each
community so that others in the com
munity who are sick and afflicted will
not hesitate to go to the Nebraska
State Institute at Lincoln for treat
ment.
The Hot Springs System of home
treatment is the best treatment in
the world for chronic diseases of the
nerves, blood, skin, liver, heart lungs,
stomach, including rheumatism, neu
ralgia, paralysis, loss of nerve force,
goitre, piles, rupture and diseases of
men and diseases of women. The
Hot Springs System is all home treat
ment so that frequent visits to the
office are not necessary. The Hot
Springs System of home treatment
can be used anywhere in any home
without annoyance, inconvenience or
publicity and without detaining the
patient from his or her usual occupa
tion. The United States government
endorses the Hot Springs treatment
and the Hot Springs Doctors hold a
government license to treat chronic
diseases.
The llot Springs Doctors make no
mistakes—they cannot afford to.
They accept for treatment only
curable cases and take no money from
those that are incurable. To prove
to you that chronic diseases are the
life study of the Hot Springs Doctors
and that they know the human body
to the mast minute detail, Dr. Gordon
will undertake to diagnose any case
in a moment's time without asking
the patient a single question, lie will
describe every ache and pain, locating
the cause of the trouble. To aid him
in his diagnosis Dr. Gordon carries
with him wonderful instruments in
vented and used by no other doctors
but the Hot Springs Doctors. As
stated before this trip of Dr. Gordon
is for advertising purposes and there
fore lie makes the following grand
free offer: Consultation and examina
tion free and all curable cases will be
treated free except for the bare cost
of medicines used. Dr. Gordon does
not claim that he can cure all cases
but he only solicits difficult cases,
eases that other doctors have failed
to cure. Examination is absolutely
free and if your case is found to lie
curable by the Hot Springs System of
home treatment you will be treated
free of charge except for bare cost of
medicines used. If your case is found
to be incurable you will not be ac
cepted for treatment at any price or
under any conditions, it being the
frank and invariable rule of the Hot
Springs Doctors to accept no incur
able case for treatment.
The daily papers throughout the
country are daily publishing accounts
of wonderful cures that have been
made by the Hot Springs Doctors.
A recent issue of the Lincoln Daily
Star contained a Half column account
of a man who was cured of a complete
nervous breakdown and complication
of diseases from which he had been
suffering for over thirty years. The
following is an extract from the
article mentioned above:
“Ilallam. Neb., reb. Id—What Is
considered one of the most remarkable
feats of modern medical skill, was
accomplished recently in the case of
August Albers of this city.
For over thirty years Mr. Albers
has suffered from a complication of
diseases, which finally brought on a
complete nervous breakdown. Air.
Albers’ friends had recommended one
doctor after another and after four
teen doctors had treated him with
out other success than to use up near
ly all the money he could earn, Mr.
Albers gave up all faith in the
doctors' ability to cure him.
Since September of last year a
decided change for the better in Mr.
Albers’ condition has tjeen noticed.
Upon inquiring as to this wonderful
improvement. Mr. Albers gave out
this wonderful interview:
“When I was 11 vears old. I had an
attack of what the doctors called in
flammatory rheumatism. I got over
this but had another attack when I
was eighteen years old which was not
so bad but for the last twelve years I
have been sick most of the time. I
was able to work some but most of
tiie time I had considerable pain and
the ailment kept me weak, especially
my nerves were weak. I have been
treated by many doctors. Some treat
ed me for one tiling and others for
another, but most of them called it
rheumatism. Sometimes I would get
better for a time, but my improve
ment was only temporary and I was
gradually getting worse until last
September, I commenced treating
with the Ilot Springs Doctors of Lin
coln. Under the Hot Springs treat
ment I got better from the start and
for the first time in years I am free
from pain and feel that I am getting
well. I am building up and my nerves
are getting stronger. I am well
pleased with the Hot Springs treat
ment. I am a farmer and live one
mile south of Hallam, Neb.
Avgust Albers.”
This cure is almost a miracle, but
the Hot Springs Doctors have hun
dreds of letters on file in their offices
at 14tli and O streets which are even
more remarkable than this. Hardly
a care of a chronic disease can lie
mentioned but what these Hot
Springs Doctors have a living testi
monial in a parallel case which they
have cured.
This wonderful Hot Springs System
of home treatment is what Dr.
Gordon is bringing to Loup City. If
you are sick and suffering and want
to be made well and happy, do not
fail to call on Dr. Gordon when he
comes to Loup City for a three days’
| visit at the St. Elmo hotel.
