singular Fight with a VI ad Co "

From the Little Rock (Ark Republican.
Mr.. f. W. Rutland, who is herder for
Mr.. r. F. Hall, dairyman who has his
stock in the suburbs OF the city, had a
most wonderful escape from the attacks OF
mad COW yesterday while attending to
his duties as kerdsman. When in the act
of driving bis stock the COW charged him
knocking him down, and would have gored
him to death but for tie human faithful
ness of his herd, who, seeing their friend
ard protector in danger, themselves in turn
became assaiilants, and charged en- masse
the mad brute and saved their master.
Mounting his horse, Mr.. Rutland had
occasion to stop at a small brook, who's >
banks were about 1 feet above tho lcyel of
the water. While in this position he was
charge. again by the COW, who, with foam,
in mo-th and CLASSY eyes, plunge down
upon her victim, unhorsing him and alight-
ing herself upon the horse, bearing both
upon the PROSTATE rilrr. The horse, to
all appearance, was dead, bat the furious
cow, although PROSTATE, was still intent
upon her victim. The feelings of poor
Ratland can hardly be surmised when
finding himself thus imprisoned with the
weight Of his faliun horse upon his limbs
and lower body, and the forerart of Il mad
cow A,on his chest, striving with the des.
perate energy Of madness 10 paw, to gore
and to bite her helpless victim. With the
desperate energy OF Il despairing man, Mr..
Rutland drew from his pocket the smallest
of penkniyes, whose length Of blade does
not exceed one and three quarter inches,
and proceeded, after Il true Texan mani. er
(being ii native of that S ,ate), to inyestI-
gate the neck of his Infatuated enemy, and
with bis puuy Instrument Succee led with :,
single blow in seyering the .iugular vein,
and etectlng quIetus to her madness.
We have held This tiny pearl- hanlled blade
cut, and must confess that, were We nc,
standing among honorable men, the .nfor-
tuuate sufferer, and his geutemauly and
efficient physician, DR.. Cross, we could nos
realize the truth of the cutting without
suffering some qualns pf our mos. sensi
tive juCGmeut.
But the end Of poor u.land'. troubles
was not yet; he was still imprisoned, n
bruised, helpless man, covered with froth
and drcnched with blood, under his ter
mentor, now more helpless than himself.
For more taan an hour after the conflict
he lay thinking, no doubt, of the horrible
prospect of death, when a son of DR.
Smith, g neighber seeing blood in the
stream, fcIuwed the current and rescued
the suffer more dead ihan alive. We .rt
happy to say that the gentleman is doins
very well, considering the fearful encoun
ter, and, excepting sore bones and joints
uuder the skilful care OF his physician vii

4 gentleman who has Just arrived from
the borax field Of the desert regions sur
rounding the town of Columbus, in
the eastern part Of the State, gives us the
following account OF the sad fate of Mr..
Jonathan Newhouse, man of CONSIDER
able inventive genius: Mr.. Newhous, hao
constructed what he called a solar armor, >
apparatus intended to protect tie weareI
/ from the fierce heat CT tie sun in crossing
deserts and burning alkali plains. TIL
amor consisted of a long, close fitting
jacket and hood being about an inch in
/ thickness. Before starting across desert
this armpr was to be saturated with water.
Unde. the right arm was suspended an In.
dia rabber sack filled With water and hay
ing a small guita pefclI'. tube leading to the
TOP of the hood La order to keep the ar
NOR moist, all that wac necessary to Be
done by the traveller, as he progressed
over the burning sands, was To press the
sack occasionally, when a small quanti.y
of water would be fore, ID up and thorough
ly saturats the hood and the jacket below
it. Thus, by the evaporation Of the mois-
turc in the armor it was calculated might
be produced almost any degree of cold =
Mr.. Newhouae went down to Death valley,
determined TO try tie experiment of cross
ing that terrible place in his armor. lie
started cut into ,he valley one morning
from the camp nearest its borders, telling
the men at the camp, as they laced his
armor on his back, than he would return in
two days. The next day an Indian, who
could ak but few words of English
came to camp IN a great state Of excite
meat. lie made the the r,er understand
that he wanted them to follow him. Al
the distance Of twenty miles oft into the
desert the Indian pointed to human f.

beard was covered With frost, and though
the MONDAY sun pouri down its fercest
rays--an icic!e over a foot in length hung
from his nose. There he had persisted
miser,bly, because his armor had worked
but too well, and because it was laced up
behind where he could not reach the fas.

THE BEST EVIDENCE,

The following letter from REV. E. S. BEST, Pas
tor NJ. E. Church, Natick Mass, will be read with
interest by many physicians. Also those suffering
from the same disease afflicted the son of the
Rev. E. S. Best. No person doubt this testi-
mony, and there is no doubt about the curative
powers of VEGETINE:
NATICK, Mass. Jan. l, 1873.
Dear Strive have good for regarding
your VEGETINE o. medicine of the greatest Ualte. We
feel assured that it has been the means Of saving
sons life. He is now seventeen years of age
for the last two years he has suffered from NEGRO
sis of his leg, caused by scrofulous affection, and
was SO far reduced that nearly all who saw him
thought his recovery impossible. A council of
able physicians could give us but the faintest
hope of his ever rallying, two of the number de-
claring that he was beyond the reach of human
remedies, that even amputatiOn could not save
him, as he had not vigOr enough to endure the OPP
Grafton. Just then commenced giving him
VEGETINE, and from that time to the present he
has been continuously improving. He has lately
resumed his studies, thrown away crutches and
cane, and walks about cheerful and strong.
Though there is still some discharge from the
opening where his limb was 1anced, have the
fullest confd ence that in little time he will be
perfectly cured.
He has taken about three dozen bottles of VEG
ETINE, but lately uses but little, as he declares
that he is too we'll to be taking m edicine.
Respectfully yours, E. S. BEST.

The range of disorders which yield to the infu-
ence of this m edicine, and the number of defined
diseases which it never fails to cure, greater
than any other single medicine has hitherto been
even recommended for, by any other than the
prOprletOrs Of some quack nOstrum. These dis
eases are Scrofula and all Eruptive diseases and
Tumors, rheumatism, Gout, Neuralgia, and Spinal
complaints and all Inflammatory symptoms, III
GERS, all syphilitic diseases, Kidney and Bladder
diseases, Dropsy, the whole train of painful dis
orders which so generally afaict American wo-
men, and which carry annually thousands of them
to premature graves Dyspepsia, that universal
curse Of American manhood; Heartburn. Piles.
Constipation, Nervousness, inability to sleep and
impure blood.
This is formidable list of human ailments for
any single medicine to successfully attack and t
is not probable that any one article before the
public has the power to cure the quarter of them
excepting the VEGETINE. It lays the axe at the
root of the tree of disease by first eliminating
every impurity from the blood, ting the Sc
cretionss opening the pores-the great escape
valves of the system-invi gOrating the liver to its
full and natural action cleansing the stomach and
strengthening digestion. This much accom-
plished the speedy and the permanent cure ofnot
only the diseases we have enumerated, but like
wi the whole train of chronic and constitutional
disorders, certain to follow. This is precisely
easily, that it is an accomplished fact almost
before the patient is aware of it himself.
