pocket knife. The bear then caught Bruce's
left hand, and bit it through; Bruce then again
tore loose, and again grasped the hears jaws
with both hands. Again conceiving the idea
that if he could get out his knife there would
be one grizzly bear less in Santa Cruz County,
Bruce essayed to put his hand in his pocket for
that purpose, when the bear broke loose and
caught the brave mans right arm. Bruce now
gave the bear tremendous Kick, which sent him
some distance. This was the turning point in
the fight, the bear running in one direction and
Bruce III another. The wounds of Bruce are
very painful, but as no bones we're broken or
arteries cut he expects to be entirely recovered
from the effects OF his desperate encounter in
fortnight While the above described tight was

For many years we have made two
medicines suited to the ailments Of a
vast class of sufferers. Thousands Of
cures have been made by them, and, in
fact the word failure could not be coupled
with them. But within the last two
years counterfeits of our medicines have
sprung up. dangerous in their close imi
tation of our Trade Mark. To secure
the people we have placed upon each gem
uine box Of Holloway's Ointment the
fac simile of the signature of our agent.
Mr.. Jos. Haydock. To counterfeit it is
felony. We shall relentlessly pursue any
one who initiates this with the utmost
vigor Of the law. We most earnestly beg
that the great mass OF the American peo-
pie will aid US in our efforts to protect
their health, and help US in our task Of
bringing these most unprincipled men to
the bar OF justice. Uniformly refuse TO
purchase Medicines purporting to be ours
unless Mr.. Jos. Haycock's signature is
attached to each box OF Pills or pot OF
Ointments and the end will soon be
reached.
