no medicine has given such .perfect satis

blood, cleanses all of the organs, and
.possesses a controlling power over the

The remarkable cores effected by Veg
etine have induced many physicians and
apothecaries whom we know to prescribe
and use it in their own families.
]n fact Vegetine is the best remedy
yet discovered for the above diseases, and
is the only reliable Hlood Purifier
yot placed before the public.
THE BEST EVIDENCE.
The following letter from Rev. K. S.
•Best, Pastor ol M.K Church, Natick,
Mass,-will be read with in'eresl by many
physicians. Also, those suffering Irotr.
the same disease as afflicted the sou of
the Rev,ifi. S. Best. No person can
doubt this testimony, as there is no
-doubt about Hie curative powers of
Vegetine:
Natiok, Mass., Jan. 1,1874.
Mr. H. R Stevkns: Dear Sir—We
have good reasons for regarding your
-Vegetine a medicine of the greatest value
We feel assured it has been the means of
saving our son’s life, He is now seven
teen years of age, for the last two years
he has suffered from necrosis of his leg,
caused by scrofulous affection, and was
so far reduced that nearly all who saw
him thought his recovery impossible. A
council of able physicians could give us
but the faintest hope ol his ever rallying,
two ot the number declaring that he was
beyond the reach of human remedies,
that even amputation could not save
him, as be had not vigor enough to en
dure the operation Just then we com
menced giving him Vegetine and from
that time to the .present-he-l as been con
tinuously improving. He has lately re
sumed his studies, thrown away his
crutches and cane,and walks about cheer
fully and strong.
Though these is -still some discharge
from the opening where the limb was
lanced,we have the lullest confidence that
in a little time he will be perfectly cured,
lie has taken about three dozen bot
tles of Vegetine, but lately uses but lit
tle, as he declares that he is too well
to be taking medicine.
Respectfully yours,
K. S. BEST.
MRS. L. 0. F. BES T.
All Diseases of the Blood.
If Vegetinc will relieve pain, cleanse,
purify and cure such diseases, restoring
the patient to perfect health after trying
different physician*, many remedies; suf
fering for years, is it not conclusive proof
if you are a sufferer, you can Ik- cured?
Why is this medicine performing such
great cutes? It works in the hlood, in
the circulating fluid, it can truly be
called the Great Blood Purifier. The
irreut source of disease originates in the
blood, and no medicine that does not
uet directly upon it. to purify und reno
vate, lias any just claim upon public at
tention.
Recommend It Heartily.
Sot'TU 80-ton, Feb 7, 1870.
Mr Stkvkns: Dear fir—l have takes
several hollies of your Vegetine, and am
convinced it is a valuable remedy for
Dyspepsia, Kidney Complaint, and gen

1 can heartily recommend it to Ail
sulleriug from the above cowplmute.

He kissed her lovely downcast eyes,
Her bonny'brown lacks lulKng low—
‘ Mv heart, love, was not over wise
To be caught in this silken snare, 1

Fate mocks us in tnal cious guise;
The world forbid* the bans; and so

She stood a tip-toe at his side,
Her tawny head just reached his

“Ah, love, whatever fate betide,
Of all the world, 1 love thee best !
And what were all the world beside*

She drew his dark face down and

His lips with passionate kisses—“No,

“Fate is.averse, and the worlfe unkind;
The way of life, that we must tread
Lies dark be ore us. and love is blind
Ease, wealth, the path wKh roses qtwad,
My dainty (lulling must leave behind,
Tor.ake up the bind.-it of life instead,
YVi li; care and squalor, and waut —
and so,
Kiss me and bid me go.’

Against his breast: “Nay, deurest,

I; love were over, and hope were dead,
The wealth of the world were uaughl
to me,
But , sweet, were it ever so poor a shed*
Attd a simple crust earned cheerfully,
With love to sweeten the bitter bread,
Welcome a life of poverty—
Or welcome love aud death,” she said,
“If only I live and die with thee!'

“Alt, no!
