and by which all the Medicinal value of
the various ingredients is secured.
It effects remarkable cures where
other medicines have utterly failed
to do any good whatever.
It is a tnodern medicine, originated
40 by experienced pharmacists, and
still carefully prepared under their per-
sonal supervision.

appearance, pleasant to take, and
always of equal strength.

than of all other sarsaparillas and blood

Elephants Fight.
It was my good fortune, writes a corres-
pondent to a Karachi paper, for some years
to spend some mon ths every season m aline
forest and hill country, where my duties
gave tie chances of seeing a great tical of
elephant, bison, and other big game that
frequented those parts. Our eamp was on a
partially isolated hill, a good deal above the
surrounding country. \ire had been some
clays in camp, but had not been visited as '
usual by our friends the elephants, when one
afternoon the sudden bellow of one, evi-
clently in pain, roused everyone in the
camp.. al, hill lean presently calve up to say
that two large tuckers were hard at it close
by. Every one turned out onto the hillside,
from where it was easy, even with the nak-
ed eye, to see what was going on, while with
a glass even the movements of a startled
deer could be made out.
About 700 or S00 yards below the crowd
watching the fight were the two tuskers. The
one somewhat nearer us, a burly, stout -
built beast with short, powerful tusks, was
evidently getting much the worse of the coni
bat, and the white and rel furrows in his
aides and rear plainly indicated seams run by
his antagonist's tusks. Blood could be seen
trickling clown his head and shoulders. On
the rise of the hill was the rival, a still
larger animal, possessing the advantage of
longer, gleaming tusks. It was a lost fight,
and in a few minutes the victor, with a
quick rush at the other, made a good thrust
at the side, and, though there was a severe
struggle, the tusk went, its full length into
the now beaten brute, and, using all his
weight, the victor pressed him down the
hill, where they disongaged themselves and
prepared for another bout.
The wounded tusker's roars of pain and
rage were pitiful to hear, and, though he
would have escaped if he could, the other
kept close behind and administered thrust
after thrust, but not in any vital part.
Presently wheeling round they raced and
came together with a nighty smash. This
was about the only stand made, and was
quickly overpowered by the more powerful
and fresher victor. The thrusts now put
behind the shoulder and into the body quick-
ly disabled the poor brute, and in fact in a
few minutes the combat was finally over,
the conqueror, withone rush, completely
rolling his enemy over, and, by, repeated
thrusts into the prostrate form, finishing the
fight amid meanings and trumpeting.
Next morning, on our proceeding to look
for the tuskers, we fonnd a large herd in an
excited state, almost on the spot where the
finish had occurred. In it were several shall
tuskers, besides the big conqueror of the
evening before, who seemed to instil a great
deal of fear into the youngsters. He came
now into the openglade with a fine young
female, and as he approached even the other
cows there was a general stampede out of
his way.
We came on the dead besot, Which had
been butted and rolled, after it was killed,
into a clump of bamboos. It had been a
fine, burly animal, but was marked from
forehead to rear and top to foot by rips and
cuts. He measured nine feet six inches at
the shoulder, 'and the tusks, which were.
taken by the hill men, proved slightly over
100 pounds the pair. The victor, which in
the fight appeared to tower over his foe,
must have been quite ten feet high, and had
the longest tusks t have ever seen clear of
their sockets. I.tried to get him; but what
with his harem about him; and the difficulty
of getting a clear view in the long grass, I
failed to get a shot.
