ANCIENT BOWS.
ThaA Of tire seythians Was In che Form
of the Letter C.

Th@S OF SlSo Scythians Was In the Form
of the Letter C.
While universally used by the an
clients, the form Of the bow varied with
different nations. The Scythian bow
was In the form of the letter 9, and
the bow of the Tartars, descendants Of
the Scythians, still keeps that shape.
The Greek bow was not more than
three or four feet in length, but 50
stout and stiff that it required consid.
cradle strength and skill to use it. It
Il said that the first Greek bows were
made from the horns OF a species of
goat, the bases being united by means
Of a metallic band. Afterward other
material was used in their manufac-
ture, but they still retained their orig
1nal shape. These bows were too
short to be of much use, and, compare
lively speaking, but a small portion of
the troops were armed with them.
The Romans carried the bow to Brit.
ain, where it at once obtained favor
and during the middle ages was ex-
tensively used, forming an important
element of the armies of that period.
The English archers were said to be
The finest in the world, and their skill
lecided the battles of Creecy, Poitiers
and Aglncourt. The bows used were
of two kinds-the long bow and the
arbalest. or crossbow. The arbalest
was made OF steel or horn and was Of
such strength and stiffness that It was
necessary to use some mechanical ap-
pliance to bend 1t and adjust the
string. The arbalestiers carried q
1niver with fifty arrows and were
placed in the van of the battle.

When the stomach is feeble the food

ference with other organs, especially
with the action of the heart and lungs
These gases have other i'll effects. They
are absorbed by the blood aud corrupt
il and so cause aches in remote parts of
the body and the formation of unhealthy

weakness and loss OF weight result.
