Benson and lour natives on a

way, is the second longest in

“Tuberculosis is a very distress
ing subject to discuss, very much j
so, but inasmuch as my report j.
would be incomplete without h
touching on it, we will consider J
that, ever so slightly. It is more
prevalent, on the Kuskokwim than j
on the eastern Bering Sea, but the j
Government hospital staff at Ak- ;
iak and the resident nurse at Be
thel, are using every available
means for staying the progress of
the disease- Those people are Al- i
askans and are fully capable of
handling the situation; if the na
tives want to avail themselves of
that service, it is provided gratis, j
this—ah—distressing contingency, j
among the* natives. There was one
case undergoing treatment while
we were there -at Akiak!
“The next morning we left Ak
iak and continued up-river. Sever
al miles up, we picked up a “Gay i
Caballero” from the Yukon, a young
Eskimo. It appeared he was caught i
doing his stuff on the “Sofita” !
when “her husband walked in and
what he did was a sin.” The boy
had two beautiMl “shiners”— and ;
was heading for the Yukon, bare
footed. So Dr. Hrdlicka and myself
thought that as long as he hadn’t
strangled the wench with so much
“meata” we would take him back
to God’s country—. The boy still
!iad his ears left. We arrived at
‘Long Shorty41 Woods’ roadhouse
;hat night. Stopped there, over
sight. The tall gentleman’s greet
ing was, “Walk right in, strangers,
ind make yourselves at home,—
we did.
“Mr. Wood was suffering from a
felon on one of his fingers—I ad
vised immediate surgical treatment,
it Akiak- Dr. Hrdlicka, my distin
guished fellow traveller, advised
the use of citron ointment, which
was carried out. Merely a slight
difference of opinion —nothing
more. The patient still lived when
we left the Kuskokwim.
“From Woods’ roadhouse v/e
struck out across the portage,
starting at the mouth of Mud
Creek and up the creek five miles
to the first portage. This portage
is a mile long and it took us four
hours to relay across. We left our
boats behind and carried the mo
tors along, and at the end of the
portage two more boats awaited us
—transferred to those.

BETTER TASTE — that’s the answer; and

Better taste, and milder too!
