OLD TIME SLUGGERS. How They Pought, Lived and New Life is given by using BRowN's IroN BitTERS. In the Winter it strengthens and warms the system; in the Spring it enriches the blood and conquersdisease; in the Summer it gives tone to the nerves and digestive organs; in the Fall it enables the system to stand the shock of sudden changes. Interesting Reminiscences cf Tom Hyer, Yankee Bulli- van, Jobhn O, Heenan And Other Pagiliste Who Lived Before the Days of Bullivan and Knocking Oat, Chicrgo Herald, “Like everything else prizs fightiog in differont now than what it was in my younger da; The system has entirely changed. The style of fighting has altered. Thirty years ago the alm of a pugilist in the rln' was to infliot muach punishment as possible on ntegonist, and to stand an equal ount; or, if necessary, éven more than he inflicted. His tralning made him able to do so. Fights were won then by endurance, usually. There was no ‘knocking out’ in _half & dezen rounds. It was giv d take for an hour or two, until the best man won.
