WL RS i PRIZE FIGNTING - SAY ® GLIMPSES OF THE PRINCIPAL SPORTING EVENTS OF THE WEEK. THE SPORTING WORLD. A Week’s Record of Happenings on Field, Stream and Track. An excellent programme of bicycle races has been arranged by the management of the Velodrome track for this afternoon. The sport will doubtless attract a large gathering. The Pacific Coast Fieid Trial Club will hold its annual meeting near Bakersfield next month and the entries for the all-age stake will positively close on Monday. Sportsmen report good duck-shooting in the Suisun marshes and in the tules near Antioch. The winter’s run of steelheads into the fresh-water streams has arrived and some nice fish were caught last Sunday. Lovers of coursing will witness some good racing to-morrow at Ingleside Park. Rifle-shooters, handball players and ten- nis experts are enjoying good sport. o e i THE WHEELMEN. Velcdrome Meet This Afternoon and Assoclated Clubs To-Nigiit. Cyclers and those interested in the sport have two things in which they will take particular interest to-day. . One is the | race meet to be held at the Velodrome track in the afternoon and the other is the annual meeting and election of officers of the California Associated Cycling Clubs in the evening. The race meet programme is by far the San Francisco Road Club), Candidate for President Associated Cycling Clubs. [From a photograph by the Elite.] | peculiar cl the presidency between A.WP. Swain of the Acme Club Wheelmen of Oak- land and A. W. Webe of the San Francisco Road Club, but a careful canvass of the delegates made yester- day gives Swain a majority of ten votes to a certainty and possibly more. His long association with the sport has made him scores of friends, particularly assuch services as he has rendered in different official capacities have been rendered with everness and discretion. As a wmember of the last road-racing committee he managed the big twenty-mile road race in - July, and it passed off without a hitch. This was the more remarkable be- cause there had never been a similar event held here before, and he had no precedent to go by. Mr. Swain promises, if elected, to appoint a San Francisco man as chair- man of the road-racing committee, and that has brought him lots of votes from this side. Mr. Wehe has been connected with the sport for a considerable time, but is not well known outside of his own club, whose support has been remarkably strong dur- ing his canvass. Many think he should not have aspired higher than the first vice-presidency this year, particularly when he had a man like Swain to run against, and even now he may be induced to accept that nomination instead. In case of bis election the road-racing chair- manship would probably go to W. L Pix- ley of the Road Ciub. The election will be well contested, however, and to-night’s meeting full of incidents. ‘Warm but loose-fitting clothing is abso- lutely necessary to comfort in cold- weather riding. Most wheelmen and wheelwomen find 1t a difficult matter to keep the hands and feet warm in the face of a cold wind. Bicycle gauntlets may be all right in their way, but a pair of heavy woolen gloves which will reach well up the wrists seems better. A silk or cotton stocking under the regular golf hose, with ! a piece of paper fitted between the two stockings, is guaranteed to keep out the cold in the most bitter weather. A sheet of newspaper fitted between the under- shirt and sweater or outing shirt will also protect the chest completely. The League of American Wheelmen has passed the 70,000 mark in member- ship, now numbering 70,363. North Cali- fornia has 1639, South California 460 and Oregon about as many. The growth of the latter division has been phenomenal. New York has 20,468. The annual meet- ing of the North California Division will be held next Saturday night, and Secre- tary-Treasurer Scovern has sent out the following notice to the board of officers: Sax Fraxcisco, Dec. 2, 1896. Dear Sir: The annual meeting of the board of officers of the North Calitornia Division, League of American Wheelmen, will be held ! in the rooms of the Bay City Wheelman, 441 Golden Gate avenue, San Francisco, on Satur- day evening, December 12, 1896, at 8 o’clock. Your attendance is respectfully requested. Fraternaily, STANLEY G. SCOVERN. Secretary-Treasurer. To which Chief Consul Kerrigan has added the following request to committee chairmen : I would respectfully call your attention to best arranged of the series recently held, and there are mdre entries and s better class of performers, The arrival of Mc- Fariand and Stevens during the week must stimulate the California profession- als to renewed efforts, for they will have to ride to win out from either of these two *‘pros.’”’ Wilber Knapp also got in from Chicago and will act as announcer, at which he is without a peer, unless it be George'Dixon. As Knapplaughingly said one day, “They may tie me, but they can’t beat me,” and so it is. The races this afternoon will commence promptly at 2 o’clock. Seats should be secured in advance, and can be had at Sherman & Clay’s. 'There will be a large attendance, judging by the aavance It was tu?ored at the track yesterday that “Bob” Ternll would forfeit the shiejd race to W. E. Becker, who challenged him, and go in for the professional events. This is only another evidence of the worthy Terrill’s foresightedness. If he wins the match race he only wins $20. In the pro- fessional race he has a chance of winning $50. The shield event might be made more interesting if the management made its posgession a little more valuable. ' The Associatea Clubs’ meeting will be held at the roomsof the San Francisco Road Club, 503 Golden Gate avenue, at 8 o’clock p. M. The clubs will be represented as follows: Waverly Bicyele Club—S8. W. Elston, P. Allan Joy, Fred Siebe. Golden Gate Cyeling Club— Al Lewis, George Payton, W.J. Black. Cali- fornia Cycling Ciub—R. S Duncan, W. 0. John- son, C.J. Vermeil.

The following clubs belonging to the as- societion have not sent in the namesof their delegates, and unless the names are sent to the secretary to-aay they will not be entitled to vote: Crescent Athletic Club of Berkeley, Crescent Road Club, Cain Bicycie Club, Diamouna Cyclers, East Oak- land Wheelmen, Liberty Cyeling Club, Mountain View Cyciers, Olympic Cyclers and Trisngle Wheelmen. “Of these the two Crescent clubs are said to be ,out of existence, and the Call, Diamond and Tri- angle Wheelmen will probably withdraw from the association as its purposes does not interest them. All delegates must bring credentials of their 2ppointment from tue secretaries of their respective clubs to the meeting to- night toentitle them to a seat. Chairman of delegations must come prepared to pay the annual dues also, There is going to be a big contest over A, P. Swain (Acme Club), Candi- date for President’ Associated Cycling Clubs, [From a photograph by Bushnell.] A article 7, to be found on pese 83 in Hand Book recently sent you of the Division’s By- Laws, setting forth the need of each chairman of committee sending in & written report of work accomplished during the past year. Kindly attend to it at once, so that it can be read at the above meeting. Fraternally, FrANK H. KERRIGAN, Chief Consul. R. C. Lennie has postponed for one week the ‘‘ordinary’’ run through the park which he had arranged for to-morrow. The additional time is required to get to- gether enough of the old style of wheels to make a yespectable showing. The Olympic wheelmen and Reliance wheelmen will have a joint run through the park to-morrow. The Olympics will meet the Oakland boys at the ferry at 10:45 A. M. In the afternoon they will go to the Velodrome track and watch the training. The Olympic’s next meeting will be on Tuesday evening, December 8, At Menlo Park to-morrow there wilt be several road races, open to all amateurs, and & number of the riders from San Jose and this City will compete. The events will be & haif-mile scratch, one-mile han- dicap and five-mile handicap. There will also be & match race at one-qnarter mile between A. B. Johnson of Redwood City and Rod Taylor of Menlo Park, aspirants for the ¢hampionship of San Mateo County. There is a great deal of local in- terest over the race, and opinion is about divided. The Olympic Club Wheelmen will ban- quet Floyd A. McFarland next Monday evening. He has worn their colors throughout his recent Eastern tour and has many a time carried the winged O to the {ront. ‘W. D. Howe, John D. McGilvray Jr., W. J. Caldwell and F. R. Haley joined the Bay City Wheelmen this week. Another meet will be held at the Velo- drome a week from to-day. The pro- gramme 1includes a one-mile hanaicap (amateur), one-mile handicap (profes- sional) and a one-third mile scratch (pro- fessional), besides the usual record trials. Entries close Monday, December 7, at 6 P. M. sharp. Captain Lewis will take the San Fran- cisco Road Club members to Menlo Park to-morrow to witness the road races there. The start will be from the club at 8:30 A. M. The club’s party will be held next Thursday evening at Union-square Hall, C. E. Unired has been elected secretary of the Golden Gate Cycling Club to fill the vacancy caused by the death of P. J. Hyde. The Imperial Cycling Club will have a members’ meeting next Monday night, when an_election will be held to fill a vacancy in the board of directors. The directors .have decided to build a gym- nasium in the rear of the clubrooms on Van Ness avenue. There will be a blind run leaving the rooms to-morrow at 1 o’clock led by Captain Trolliet. SPALDING. GUN AND GAME. Good Snipe-Shootinginthe Country Club—Ducking at Antioch. It is said that duck-shooting in the So- noma marshes has been very poor this season and the sportsmen who frequent those marshes attribute their poor luck to the great amount of phooting that has been done this year at night by men who hunt for the market. As there are thousands of wild ducks in San Pablo Bay at present the outlook for some good sport in the near future is promising. A good stiff blow from the west will send the birds into the marshes, but a heavy rainstorm will result in destroying the shooting near the bay, as the ducks will leave for the southern country. The secretary of the S8an Joaquin Valley Agricultural Association writes that he has received the medals and diplomas won at the late Stockton bench show and is now prepared to distribute them. George Jackson bagged quite a number of mallard and teal a few days ago on Lake San Andreas, which sheet of water is the property of the Spring Valley Water Company. J. Wallace and Fred Greenlee enjoyed a good duck-shoot nesr Suisun last Monday. They vositively state that the birds did not cost them any more than what they paid for ammunition and transportatiou. Sam Hughes, alias Silver-tongue Sam, and his English setter, Silver PlateII, had a most enjoyable outing in the Country Club of Marin County last‘Sunday. Billy Kittle states that Hughes is ‘‘good’’ on quail, but a very rank shot on English snipe. The following letter has been received and speaks for itself: ANTIOCH, Cal., Dec. 1.% Duck-shooting is first-class now and a goos shot can secure a good bag of birds. J. Lem- mer, with shells louded with “Gold Dust” powder by William Remiree of Antiven, killed thirty-two mallards and about twenty-eight blackjacks. Dick Brooks of San Francisco, an old-time sport whose eyesight is either getfing poor or his No. 10 gun growing old, got four ducks and a ducking. Mr. Lemmer claimed that the four ducks secured by Brooks were crlpgles that he had .knocked down himself. Mr. Brooks used to be & pretty fair duck shot, but, like Remfree, he is a good old “has been.’’ Mr. Brooks is very indignant that he should be classified among the ‘‘has beens,” and states that if Mr. Remfree, who is the acknowledged champion *‘tin- can’ shooter of San Joaquin County, is anxious for a race on artificial birds or live birds, he will meet him at any time and piacé he may suggest purposely to ar- range a contest. Brooks states further that Mr. Remfree may use a 10-bore gun and that he will handle a pea-shooter, as that kind of gun will be large enough for him ir: a contest ot this kind. Phil Bekeart bageed a good mess of wild ducks last Sunday in Suisun marsh. Walter Burlingame and Jim Chesley returned from Suisun last Sunday with thirteen birds. Frank Vernon had an excellent snipe shoos on the Country Club’s marsh last Sunday. He reports birds as being very plentiful. ; s Frank Dolliver says that the weather was 80 cold at Point Reyes last Sunday that his dog had much difficulty in re- trieving birds he had killed and which fell into the pond he was shooting over. “I never saw anything like it before,” said Dolliver, without cracking a smile; ‘‘the ducks 1 killed froze stiff a secona after they struck the water, and my dog ‘Leatherhead’ had to scrape the ice from off the birds’ backs with his paws belore he could get a hold on them. Why, in the early morning it was so cold that the shot froze into a solid mass alter leaving the gun' and some of the birds I killed were actually cut in two when they fell.’’ Srels AL LD THE ANGLERS. Arrival of the First Winter Run of Steelheads in the Creeks. The late rains have made glad the hearts of the midwinter anglers. Last Sunday some very nice steelheads were caught at Point Reyes, Larkspur and Shellville, Hunter, Terry, Walker and Harmon tried their luck in the tidewaters of Paper-mill Creek and all caught fish, with the excep- tion of Walker, who scored a duck egg. The trout taken were small. McGreggor, Cooney and Hoffman fished the Tamalpais slough and had pretty good sport. Hoff- man caught three, the smallest of which weizhed one and a half pounds.. At Shellvile a number of small ten and twelve inch fish were caught. Mr. Morgan of Duncans Mills visited the City on Thursday last and reports that the Russian River 1s now in splendid shape and that the local anglers are hay- ing good fun. < John Gllll‘gheh the champion salmon fisherman of Qakland, is now located at Duncans and is enjoying good sport. He sent a telegram to John éflllet yesterday to journey to the happy fishing grounds as soon as possible with a keg of salmon “roll,” as that was the only bait the silversides would recognize. ~The next heavy ramn will send the big fishes to their spawning grounds. Itis said that illegal fishing is practiced near the mouth of the Russian River. A Deputy Fish Commis- sioner will visit Dungans to-morrow. SRS Dt THE OARSMEN. Increased Actlvity in' Rowing Cir- cles After the Regatta. The Thanksgiving day regatta has cre- ated greater interest 1n rowing than has been displayed for many months. . The clubs are gaining in members, and there is every prospect of a marked re- vival in aquatics. The Dolphins intend to have a crew en- tered in the junior and senior barge races at the next regatta. Captain Will Patch will take the following men out for a practice spin to-morrow. They are Al Rouard, Tom Kennedy and E. P. Sulli- van, and they will be under the watchful eye of coach Adam Schuppert. Keenan is ou! three times a week in his boat and is keeping himseif in condition for the next regatta. - The Dolphins’ committee on nomina- tion will meet to-night to choose efficers for next year. The club will give a ladies’ day social on Janvary 10 that will surpass 11_nyming ever attempted by them in that ine. Itis rumored that Len Haussler has chailenged McCausland to a mile and a half race for a medal. Haussler wants three weeks to train in and is irying o borrow Tom Keenan’s boat. If the match is made a lively race is looked for. Mec- Causland 1s the present Pacific Coast champion. ‘The Alameda Boat Club met last week and elected the following officers: Presi- dent, J. A, Samson; vice-president, W. G. Hansen; secretary, W. B. Hinchman; treasurer, C. J. Lancaster; captain, A. Schumacher; lieutenant-captain, Atwell C. Webb. Tne club will give a ball early in January. The First Division of the Naval Reserve are dissatisfied with the outcome of the Thanksgiving day race, and have chal- lenged the victors to another race, which will take place in the near tuture. One of the morning papers accused Mr, Yale, the gentleman appointed to referee the races at the regatta, with being atthe football game when he shonld have been at his post, It is an unjust charge, as Mr. Yale was in the country until 4 o’clock that alternoon. A great many hard things have been said as to Chairman Pembroke’s course in the last regatta. He has been charged with getting up the regatta for seli-inter- ests, and that the prizes awarded were purchased by him. It is an improper charge, as the medals were made gy &er. Rothkopf. Mr. Pembroke expended a great deal of labor in irying to make the regatta a success, and in doing so neglect- ed his own business to his own loss. His work was a labor of love, as he had the in- terests of rowing at heart, and not fora pecuniary gain. kg A FIELD TRIALS. Young and O'd Dogs That Wil Race Near Bakersfield Next Month. The all-aged stake for the Pacific Coast field trials, which will be held near Bakers- feld in the near future, closed a few days ago, but owing to adelay occasioned by some mistake on the part of some of the country sportsmen who failed to enter their charges at the proper time Secretary Kilgariff concluded not to give the names of the dogs now in his possession for pub- lication until Monday, when the full list of entrants will appear in THE CALL. The Derby entry will be very large this year, but the same cannot be said for the old dogs. However, the ones that will com- pete belong to the aristocratic family ot canines, aud will doubtless distinguish themselves on the quail fields of Kern County when they are cast off to find game. BT e BASEBALL TO-MORROW. Oakland and Imperial Nines Will Try Conclusions. The Imperials will play the Oaklands to- morrow at Sixteenth and Folsom streets. The teams will line up as follows: Imperials. Posi:lon. Oaklands. Catches .. Hunt uinney .Van Haltren s Football.

Lowell High School will enter the contest without the valuable subport of the Bishop brothers, one of whom had his ankle so injured at last Saturday’s gume that paternal objections have disqualified the other from playing. Next Saturday afternoon St Mary’s College and Sauta Clara College will meet at Central Park in their firstintercollegiate football contest. In the inter-High School match thi afternoon the following will act as official: “Tommy” Code, Stanford 95 snd Olym- pic, as referee; H. P. Taylor as umpire; A. F.

SACRAMENTO, CaL, Dec. 3.—The coming contest between William Johnson of the Sacra- mento Athletic Club and Theodore Van Bus- kirk of the San Francisco Olympic Club is the center of interest to the sport-lovers of this vicinity. The boxing match will be & ten- round go, and will take place at the clubroom in this city on the 11th. Both men are hot favorites with their respective clubs, and the boys in this city will bank heavily on their favofite, who three yearsago wen the amateur chamrionship of the State by defeating the best men that could be brought out in the Olympie Club tournament held in San Fran- cisco. Johnson hes done nothing in the box- ing line since then, except to ‘put out Austra- lian Billy Smith, the doughty veteran of the ring, who Sharkey declares gave him the hardest battle of his life. Johnson will prob- ably weigh ir at 170 pounds. The local game markets are overflowing with game of all descriptions. Barney Keller has a record of 300 mallard, made in three days’ shooting this week, and two other men brought in 150 pair ot birds in a day’s shoot. Stewart Upson and Russ Flint are taking & week's outing among the quailin the vicini t; of Pilot Hill and are haviug fine sport. Fran Newbert, Charles Demerit and Harry Trump- ler bagged twenty-four quail each during day’s outing this week. Good sport is being had at the different ciub preserves among the ducks and several excelient bags of snipe have been brought in lately. Everybody is “‘going daft” on coursingat the present time. William Hanlon, the well- known grocery man, picked up what was supposed to be a scrub dog, and now claims to possess a world-beater. Charles K. Lipman has also become possessed of the popular craze. Next Sunday Hon. Judson Brusie will officiate at the park as slipper and H. H, Devine, secre- tary of the Coursing Park Association, as judge. There will be over forty entrants and some stiff purses offered. The High 8chool elevens have been practic- ing on the gridiron and are puttiug up some good football, with matches in the prospec- tive. The baseball nines of the Sacramento Athletic Club are also practicing and playin, good ball whenever .the weather allows, an the handball courts are kept busy. RUTHERFORD. WAS NEARLY MOBBED. Joseph Dornato’s Cruelty to a Horse Excites the Indignation of a Large Crowd. Joseph Dornato, a teamster, gave an ex- hibition of brutality yesterday afternoon at Turk and Taylor streets. A large crowd gathered in a few minutes and Donato came within an ace of being mobbed. Shortly after he was meditating in a cool corner of the City Prison, the picture of meekness; but then he was a prisoner, charged with cruelty to animals, and had neither horse nor whip to satisfy his passion. The incident of Dornato’s cruelty and the gathering ol the mob was related by Officer McMurrie of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, “I was in my office, which is near where the fellow was arrested,” he said. “Sud- denly several people burst into the room., They were greally excited and asked me to go with them to the corner of Turk and Taylor streets and arrest a man for cruelty. By the time 1 go: there the crowd was getting ready to mob Dornato. He had a horse and a heavy load of olive oil, which the horse was barely able to haul, and he raised welts on the animal’s back, each one as thick as a mar’s finger. So I took him in custody.” LLETTONET TAGKSON'S DEFENSE. Three Witnesses Will Testify on His Behalf To-Day. In the trial of Arthur Jackson, charged with the murder of August Florentine, considetable time was takeu up yesterday with a discussion betweea attorneys as to the introduction of certain testimony. Attorney Carroll Cook, representing the defense, drew Judge Belicher's attention to the fact that none of the witnesses in- troduced by the prosecution were in the room at the time of the shooting of Flor- entine. He said there was plenty of tes- timony from persons who were in the rooms back of the saloon when the tragedy occurred, but that none of the witnesses who saw the killing had been called by the State to tell what they knew of the occur- rence. Deputy District Attorney Hosmer de- clined to call the persons suggested by Mr. Cook to the witness-stand. Mr. Cook stated. that three men, namely Cornelius Hurley, Charles Leyden and ‘William Troy were in the room when the shot was fired, and saw all that took i that at the preliminary examina- tion 'these men testified that Jackson acted i self-defense. He thought the prosecution ought to bring forward all the testimony possible that is material to the case, whether favorable or unfavorable to the defendant. Mr. Hosmer said he was willing to have the'tase go to the jury without calling the witnesses named by Mr. Cook, so they will be introduced by the defense at this morn- ing’s session of court. ———————— FAIR'S ESTATE. Interest on Bonds and Rents Bring in Good Money. Messrs. Crothers, Angus and Goodfel- low, special administrators of the estate of the late James G. Fair, have filed their semi-annusl report with Judge Slack of the Superior Court. They haveon hand a balance of- $481,356 68, after aisbursing $129,466 14 for expenses of conducting the different properties belonging to the es. tate. The rent-roil’amonnts to $16,000 a month. Last month $120,432 50 interest on railroad bonds was collected. The only profit credited to the Lick House property was $290 50 during the -month of November. SMUGGLERS IN COURT. Alex Pentages and Sam Brown Before United States Commissioner Heacock. Alex Pentages, a fisherman, and Samuel Brown, charged with having unstamped opium in their possession, appeared be- fore United States Court Commissioner Heacock yesterday morning. Chief Cus- toms Inspector Holmes testifigd that he arrested Brown snd found 144 tins of the drug upon the person of the prisoner. George Peters, the proprietor of asand- wich-stand on the corner ofbfd:ls;;nd Mason streets, testified that abou Tee weeks ago, on the corner of Fifth and Howard streets, Pentages agreed to sell him 100 pounds of opium. The drug was 10 be delivered by Brown at the corner of Twelfth and Mission streets. It was in that locality Brown was ar- rested by Holmes, who had been posted by Peters. Itis tbought by the customs officials that Peters is one of the gang, and exposed his pals, thinking to gain more by so doing. Pentsges was arrested Thurs- day evening by Inspector Holmes in a saloon on Ellis street, having been de- coyed there by a letter sent him by the clever officer. Tae trial of the accused was set for next Friday. ————————— LABOR OOUNOIL. Delegates Report Business Quiet—Horse- shoer Hyland Under Fire. At the San Francisco Labor Council last night delegates reported business quiet, but with a prospect of labor interests brightening in the near future. The delegate representing the Coast Sea- men's Union reported that there are now seventy vessels at anchor at the Oakland mole waiting for engagements. A complaint was preferred against Horseshoer Michael Hyland, whose shop is on Webb street, charging him with em- ployin; non-union men in his line of busi- ness. This grievance was referred to the executive committee for investigation, with instructions to the Horseshoers Union to bave a representative present at the meeting of that committee to state the nature o: the complaint. Ln answer to a communication from Secretary Rosenberg of the council sug- gesting the appointment of a representa- tive from the Labor Council on the char- ter committee of one hundred, Mayor- elect Phelan has written his consent. The law and legisiative committee re- ported progress on the constitutional amendment intended to establish the referendum and initiative in this State. Brewery workmen reported progress in their fight for recognition of the union, and sent three delegates to the council. & The Cigar-makers’ Union reported that none but union men are now employed. ———— Dimond Trust Litigation Ended. In Judge Seawell’s court Thursday a decree was entered in regard to the W. H. Dimond trust fund that $3246 83 be paid to each of the following: Mrs. Eleanor Tobin, Mrs. May Tobin, Union Trust Company; that $6416 46 be retained by Trustees Horace G. Plait and B. P. Oliver; that E. R. Dimond repay to said trustees $954 52. The liugation thereupon endea, all partics paying their own costs. NEW TO-DAY. We kno® that Cod-liver Oil is a fat-forming food because takers of it gain rap- idly in weight under its use and the whole body receives vital force. ~When prepared as in Scott’s Emulsion, it is quickly and easily changed into the tissues of the body. As your docteer would say, %it is easily assimilated.” Perhaps you are suffering from fat starvation. You take fat enough with your food, but it either isn’t the rightkind, or itisn’t digested, You need fat prepared for you, as in Scott’s Emulsion. PAINE’S CELERY COMPOUND. The Best Remedy in the World—It Makes People Well. There is one true specific for diseases arising from impure blood and_ a dgbxll- tated nervous system, and that is Pa:pe'. celery compound, so generally prescribed by physicians. It is probably _the most remarkable remedy that the scientific re- search of this country has produced. Prof. Eiward E. Phelps, M.D., LL.D., of Dartmouth College, first prescribed v;\'h?t isnow known the world over as Paine’s celery compound, a positive cure for dys- pepsia, biliousness, liver complsint, neu- ralgia, rheumatism, all nervous diseases and kidney troubles. For the latter Paine’s celery compound has sl'lcceeded again and again where everything else bas failed. Is Your Body and Brain Fatigned? RE YOU LACKING IN ENERGY, strength and vigor?
