The chase began when two Mounties came to ask Johnson about allegations that he had interfered with a neighbor's trap. No questions were asked. Johnson discharged the first shot through a hole in the wall of his log cabin.

In simple but powerful text, the ethical way to hunt is described from preparation to shooting to care after the shot.

As the pharmaceutical choices for health care become more and more limited, the general bolstering of the immune system with electrotherapy is proving to have a well-spring of therapeutic benefits. There are many bioelectromagnetic (BEM) devices re-emerging in the 21st century, based on high-voltage Tesla coils, that apparently bring beneficial health improvements to human organisms. The Tesla coil class of therapy devices constitute pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) that deliver broadband, wide spectrum, nonthermal photons and antioxidant electrons deep into biological tissue.
