Fighting a Shark.
A lively experience with * twelvefoot
striped shark came to Boatmen
Harry Johnson ana kod ?arnaru. relates
the San Francisco Chronicle.
Tney were fishing between Miswion
Rock and Goal Island when they saw
Jkhe shark. It followed them persistently,
and once when it came boldly
up to the boat the boatmen set upon it
with oars, stretcher and gaff. A blow
from the bi? brute's tall came near
capsizing the Whitehall. Barnard
barely escaped being drawn into the
*ea through sinking the gaff into the
body of the shark, which set off at a
terrible speed, pulling the boat after
him. It was so weak from the blows
and from loss of blood that it was
finally conquered. In the fight the
boatmen broke one oar and a stretcher.
Business failures in Great Britain duri:ig
1899 were 8,boo, against 8,895 in

For it's first a cold, then a cough,
then bronchitis or pneumonia,
and at last consumption. Coughs
always tend downward. It's
first the throat and then the
lungs. They don't naturally
tend to get well. You have
to help Nature a little.
You can stop this downward
tendency any time by taking
