Most medicines which are advertised as blood

ly combined. All OF these agents have strong
tendency TO break down the blood corpusclcs, and
debilitate and otherwise permanently ininre the
human system, and should therefore be discarded.

of native plants barks and roots, will in no case

Mr.. Isaac Tucker of Mt. Vernon, barely escap-
cd with his life in recent encounter with an
ragged bull. He had pair of bulls that he yoked
together and used for teamng purposes. He had
yoked one and was STOPPING to raise the other end
of the yoke for its mate TO come under, when the
animal that was loose made plunge at Mr.. Tuck
er, raising him upon his horns, and tossing him
about as though he were rag baby. He finally
threw the almost helpless man over his horns,
breaking three Of his ribs. Mrs. Tucker was on
her way to the well for pail of water and saw
the transaction. She seized a handsplke and
struck the bull. The animal turned his head, and
thus gave Mr.. Tucker instant of time which he
improved in Selling the handspike with which he
was enabled to keep the enraged animal at bay.
And he wasn't very particular where he hit the
bull, either. Mr.. Tucker is now able to walk out,
but is disabled, probably, from doing any work on
