ANNIVERSARIES
OF RING BATTLES

185s-Tom Sayers defeated Bill
Benjamin in 8 rounds at Isle of Grain,
Eng. This was one of the shortest
championship battles ever fought,
lasting only 6 II minutes. Sayers, the
Little Wonder although a middle
weight, had achieved the heavyweight
title, and there was no big man in
sight to face him until Harry Broome
the ex-champion, discovered Bill
Bainge, a farm lad, gave him the ring
name Of Benjamin, and pitted him
against the little champion. Bill was
a fine built, athletic youngster, who
had spent his whole life on a farm,
but he was scared stiff when he faced
Tom Sayers in the ring on bitterly
cold day. The agriculturist seeming
~ had forgotten all the ring science
that Harry Broome had beat into him,
and Tom soon laid him low. Bill re-
turned to the farm a sadder and con-
siderably wiser lad. while the sports
who, had made a long and miserable
river trip to see the fight were utterly
Disguised. Savers held his title until
1850, when he retired after his fam
GUS fight with John Heenan, the
American, giant, which ended in a
row and was called a draw.

TIRED ALL The Time

It is good to feel tired sometimes, when
you have exercised sufficiently to cause q
healthful feeling of fatigue.
But, you should be refreshed BY rest.
A tired feeling that does not disappear
even after a nights sleep is abnormal.
1t means that you are anemic or debili-
tated, that you need tonic to build you
up and tortify your system against such
condition. If you do not you are in
viting disease because thin blood means
that the body's defense against the in
roads of disease is lowered.
Thin blood is largely the sufferers own
fault. 1t results from neglect, because
the blood can be built up. DR.. Williams
Pink Pills supply the elements that the
blood needs to make it rich and red and
to enable it to carry more oxygen. Build
ing up the red portion of the blood is
simple but because thin blood does not
call attention to itself is often neglected.
Have you seriously considered taking q
course of treatment with these blood
making pills? If you are in doubt write
for information.
Your own druggist sells DR.. Williams
Pink Pills or they will be sent by mail,
postpaid, on receipt of price 80 cents per

DO THIS FIRST-YOU!

You know, ana every physician
knows, that when any sickness has
passed, whether it be throat trouble,
organic disturbances, contagious dis
eases, or even a severe cold, a relapse
is feared, because sickness robs the
system of Natures resistance and
leaves it subject to lingering germs.
Drugs never build up a won-out
body-only food can do that, and the
first thing to take after any sicknessis
the concentrated, blood making oil
food in SCOTS Emulsion, which feeds
the tissues, benefits the blood and
strengthens both lungs and throat.
Physicians prescribe SCOTS Emul-
sion after sickness. Nurses everywhere
advocate it. SCOTS is pure medicinal
food, without alcohol or drugs.
