his stable, and when they had been ont an hour or
so he took light whip and stepped out to turn
them in again. When he had nearly accom-
plished his purpose, As one of them, very large
and valuable boar, was near the door OF ms pen,
he suddenly turned, and when Mr.. snow under
took to stop him be became greatly enIaged and
made furious attack upon him, striking BIN a
fearful blow in the leg, tearing through clothing,
boot and flesh to the bone and splintered it with
his long tusk. Mr.. Snow, very muscular and
powerful man. was thrown down by this sudden
and unlocked for assault but perceivlpg instantly
his great peril he had presence of mind sufficient
to know that he must keep up if possible where
the furious animal could not rend his vitals and
by quick action he was able to fasten his hands in
the brstles Of the hogs back, thus bearing mp his
body somewhat from the reach OF the deadly
tusks, but was utterly poweress to get away from
his adversary, who was tossing him GU his power
full nose as a cat would a mouse and cutting and
tearing him with his tusks i'll most fearful man

the door through which he was trying to drive the
hog, when by a desperate effort he succeeded in
dragging himself inside and swung the door to,
thus barely escaping with his life.

His limbs were frightfully mangled and his life
was for some hours despaired Of but DR.. Cyrus

many ways that he might have got away from his
fearful enemy, but Mr.. Snow SAYS he had all he
could do to hold on. His desperate efforts TO keep
his body up was all that saved his life.

it freely in nv practice, both in diseases of the

superior to any similar preparation vet offered to
