Toxic, Aug. 12-Evidently driven
to sea by the fire of the Japanese bat
teries the Russian fleet emerged from
Port Arthur Wednesday morning. Ad-
miral Togo Immediately closed in and
opened severe engagement, which
lasted until nightfall Afterwards the
destroyers and torpedo fleet delivered
series of attacks. The Japanese
fleet withdrew during the night A
guardship stationed off the harbOr re-
ported that she saw at dawn Thurs
day the battleships Retvizan and Po-
bieda steaming toward the harbor of
Port Arthur
Admiral Togo has not yet reported
the results of the engagement 1t is
thought here that the Russians at
tempted to escape seaward from
base which is no longer tenable, but
that they again refused to attempt to
force Admiral TOgos line. Details
are expected hourly.
London, Aug. 12.-The afternoon
papers here, while admitting that the
result of the engagement off Port Ar
thur is not clear, generally interpret
the conflicting reports from Toxic and
Chefoo as meaning that the bulk of
the Russian squadron at Port Arthur
made a sortie in the hope of escaping,
but that only the torpedo boat de-
stroyer Ryeshitelni, which reached
Chefoo, succeeded in getting away
and that the Ryeshitelni believed, as
indicated by the statement of her cap
tain, that the rest Of the squadron
would be equally successful.

Any honest person who suffers with Rheumatism is authorized to go to their druggist today and get bottle of Para camph, use as directed, and if it fails to do exactly what we claim, go back to their druggist and get their money. Par acamph is recommended as modern scientific treatment for all Rheumatic Swellings and Neuralgia troubles. It re- lieves on Natures plan. That is when applied it opens the pores, penetrates directly to the seat of the ailment soothing the inhamed skin. muscles and joints re- ducingt he swelling by removing the con- gestion, drawing out the fever and inharn- nation by inducing sweating. It sweats the disease out of the body through the pores of the skin. This is why Para camph is superior to the many internal strong, drastic drugs that upset the stom- ach, shatter the nerves, and undermine the general health. Our guarantee Is made to convince you of our faith in Par acamph. We have of course, tested its merits thoroughly in many and various cases. We know therefore exactly what 1t will do. So don't hesitate, but get a bottle of Paracamph today, and after two or three applications you will be convinced that we claim only for Paracamph exactly what 1t will do.
 Paracatnph is sold only in 25 cent, so cent and $1.oo bottles. The larger sizes are cheaper for family use. Write for book of testimonials. The Paracamph Company, Louisville Ky, U. $. A.
