C. r. Fogg has Such Faith In This
Great Dyspepsia Remedy That he
Guarantees IL.

1t is a. unusual thing for a druggist
to sell a medicine under guarantee to
refund the money if it does not cure
Yet this is the way q. r Fogg, the pop
ular druggist, is selling Mona, the
standard dyspepsia remedy.
There is no longer any need of anyone
suffering or making their friends suffer
on accout of dyspepsia, for Mi-o-nA can
be relied upon to cure. The percentage
of cures is so nearly one hundred per
cent that there is little risk to g. r.
Fogg in guaranteeing to return the mon
ey if the medicine does not cure, and he
stands ready to do SO witout any ques-
tons.
Headaches, all forms of indigestion,
specks before the eyes, dizzy feelings,
poor sleep, ringing in the ears and all
forms OF liver trouble are cured by Mo
ma, price SOC. A few days treatment
shs VS. considerable gain in health and a
cure speedily follows.

Kuropatkin telegraphs as follows:
Owing to the interruption Of tele-
graphic communication have received
no report from General Zassalitch. Fl
According to the testimony Of per-
sons arriving here during the night
from Feng Wang Cheng, the Japanese
on May Il were operating from the
front with an overwhelming force of ar
tiliery and attacked our left flank in
superior force, cnveloping it, Al hot
fight occurred at this point. The
Twenty y-second and Twelfth regiments
of sharpshooters were engaged, defend
ing themselves vigorously and on sew
eral occasions taking the offensive, in
fiicting considerable losses on the
Japanese. ,t5
Our small force could not hold this
position and retired leaving several
guns in the hands Of the enemy Ow-
ing to our heavy losses in men and
horses we could not succeed in carry
ing of our guns, but their breech locks
were removed. Our force fell back to
Feng Cheng Heng.
General Zassilich's forces consisted
of five regiments and FIVE batteries, but.
according to the information at hand
one regiment and two batteries sta-
toned at Shakheyze were not engaged,
the Japanese not attacking that point.
Dur losses are not yet known but in
