He then deliberately galloped up alongside, and while going at top speed, jumped off his own horse on to the other's neck, seized the reins, and brought the animal to a standstill. Two miles of rough country was traversed in the race. In India the jackal is more dreaded than the tiger. In this oountny it is the substi tution fraud that one has to guard against, high profit bearing substitutes being often pushed for the sake of extra profit.

IF YOU SUFFER FBOM COLLAPSE OF THR NEKVOUS SYSTEM, DPE PERHAPS TO HEAVY STRAIN AND PRESSURE OF BUSINESS, READ THE FOLLOWING TESTIMONIAL :— Dear Sir— About 18 months ago I was forced to give J up my position, owing to an attack of Con- j gestion of the Brain, caused by *XCE"SSIVE S lUDY AND WORK. For some time I was very ill, and was under the care of four of the best doctors in New Zsaland. I found that although I had recovered from the Cerebral Congestion THE NERVOUS SYSTEM had received such a shock and had beoome so weakened tbab my medical advieera informed me that I would have to take perfect »esb for a long time, and that it would be from 2 to 3 YEARS before I would thoroughly regain my strength and be wfiat I had been prior to my breakdown. Knowing of the wonderful rcsultß which had followed the taking of Vitadatio I resolved to go in for a course of it, and after drinking about 12 LARGE BOTTLES of the MEDI CINF, I rejoice to be able to say that I am now WELL AND STRONG again, and en joy the best of health, i ieei that I cannot but let young men who struggle through the weary dayi of their office work, feeling so weak and ill that life has very few pleasures for them, know what your medicine h«s done for me. To all snoh X earnestly recom mend Titadatio, as I am perfectly sure it will thoroughly tone np the system and drive all imparities out of the blood. Yours very sincerely, EDWIN C.
