The Japs are s-mu to have won a signal victory over the Russians in and around tbe city of Makden, captaring that city and almost completely annihiliating the Russian - army ander General Kuropatkin. It is estimated that the Russians lost in killed and wounded 155.000 men, while the Japate^e lc a* is not given. Tne remnants of tbe Russian army has retreated behind the fortifications of Tie Pass, twenty-five miles awav, where General Kuropatkin is trying to reorganize his scattered * V 11.. armv According 10 iu? ^ouciqi staff the main body has already completed its retreat, and the rear guard southward ie falling back slowly, keeping in tooch wt?h the pursuing co'umua of Japan*to The rcut of the Rassisne is attributed to the fact that Kuropatkin was outgeneraled by Field Marshal Oyama, the Japanese general.

As a rule we don't nc^ r>r r^f^r testimonials VI J. V/JLVi VV v <WW W? ??. in addressing the public, > but the above remark and similar expressions are made so often in connection with Scott's Emulsion that they are worthy of occasional note. From infancy to old age Scott's Emulsion offers a reliable means of remedying im-. proper and weak development, restoring lost flesh and vitality, and repairing waste. The action of Scotfs Emulsion is no more of a secret than the composition of the Emulsion itself. What it does it does through nourishment?the kind of nourishment that cannot be ob tamed in ordinary food. No system is too weak or delicate to retain Scott's Emulsion and gather good from it. tWc will send you a sample free.
