Harry M. Shaeffer, W. N. Hicks and
Ed R. Slzer. Jr., returned thin week
from South America, where they went
In search of their fortunes. Accom
panied by Harry Hotchklss of this city
and C. D. Jensen of Geneva, they left
this city on February 18. They trav
elled directly to New Orleans, where
they shipped for Colon. From Colon
the Journey to Cartagena, Colombia,
was soon made. Then steamboat pas
sage by way of the river Atrato was
secured to Qulbdo, a distance of 675
miles. At Qulbdo Innumerable small
rivers and creeks branch off from the
Atrato river. One of these was fol
lowed, the men travelling In canoes.
They Journeyed as far as the Cordiller
as mountains, whe'e they expected to
find what they wee searching for.
Once In the mountains they did not
anticipate much trouble. In this belief
they were disappointed, however, as It
rained steadily and one after another
they were taken sick with fever re
sembling malaria. It seemed to rain
continuously. Between showers they
managed to examine the bed of one of
the creeks. They found that gold ex
isted there In paying quantities, but
the water was so uncertain, being high
one day and low the next, that It was
unsafe to attempt to take It out.
After exploring the country pretty
thoroughly they decided to return to
Qulbdo. Mr. Hotchklss had made him
self sick by continual doping. He
would take half a dozen different kinds
of medicines dally. The result was
that when they returned to Cartagena
he was burned out, his system de
stroyed and he left a physical wreck.
For a week prior to the arrival of the
party In Cartagena he was uncon
scious. As Mr. Jensen did not Intend
to return It was decided to leave Mr.
Hotchklss In his charge. His compan
ions claim that it will be a miracle If
he leaves Cartgena alive, as he lies In
a comatose condition and is expected
to die dally.
Young Slzer did not want to come
back with the party. He was exactly
the opposite of Mr. Hotchklss. He de
clined to take any medicine at all. Mr.

Cod-liver oil is something more than a fat. Its peculiar
action depends on a number of substances, among which
might be mentioned iodine and phosphorus. There can be
no substitute for cod-liver oil, because there is no other oil
known which has in natural combination with it such, a
large number of valuable medicinal agents.
