VOL. VII.
The New Physiology.
The following is the last of a series cf
articles that have apiveareil in the columns
if the Telegraph and Messenger during
the Summer on the subject Osmosis,which
it correct have overturned all the old no
tions connected with ingestive and eges
tive physiology, and constituted the liver
the receiver aed manufacturer of the new
alliinent, rather than, as now believed;thc
sewer of the body and the depurator of the
blood. We are authorized to say that a
few' copies of the whole series may be had
on M. S. Thomson,M. D., of
Macon, who will take pleasure in sending
them to any address. Those who arc af
dieted with any constitutional disease
might do well to write to him as he evi
dently knows the human form and system
thoroughly, find forty years experience
ought to have taught him how to treat it.
Practical Comparisons.
THE LUNGS.
PRACTICALLY, what l)enefit can arise
Irom the adoption of the new views
of ingestive and egestive physiology', re
cently promulgated in the columns of the
Telegraph and Messenger, is the question
involved, and a very proper question it is,
lor il no practical benefit is to result from
a knowledge of the true physiology, we
may just as well continue to believe the
old errors, or like wild Indians, have no
belief at all upon the subject.
Whatever may be practice of the Allo
|k)thic branch of the profession at the pres
ent day, its theoretic doctrines on the sub
ject involved are w T ell defined and in di
rect opposition to the views there set forth,
and I have thought proper to present, in
concise shape, the positions assumed by
their most recent authorities, and beg to
say that I refer to these views in no fault
finding spirit: indeed, what would he the
U3e of finding fault where men are endeav
oring to make the most of the light they
are possessed of, rush like though it be,
since probably when the sun of truth rises
upon them, they may be as eager to bask
in his effulgent rays, and make the most of
them as any one of us. Of couise, when I
simile out the Allopathic profession to
quote from, or comment on, it is because
of its prominence before the world, as
compared with other branches,and because
too of that steadiness that keeps it from
being carried away by every wind of eloc
trine from its old convictions, while many
of those who assume to correct its errors
—our Eclectics, for instance—cannot he
spotted, having no shiboletli.
Anxious only to discover truth and make
it useful, I have no desire to indulge in
personalities, nor have I any occasion,
since I have none hut the kindest feelings
toward any of the brethren, and am thor
oughly convinced that that is the feeling
with which many of the best of them re-
Sard me ; so, as I said, if I animadvert on
their positions it is because ©f their promi
nonce which is well deserved, and has
been long mantamed, but my new ideas
necessarily clash with old opinion, though
a fair comparison in the new light in
volves no hostility.
Professor Harrison, of the Ohio Medical
College, is a worthy leader,and the author
ot an extensive.work on Materia Medica and
Tlieraputics, in which he has declared
himself quite fully against the possibility
of any foreign agent entering the blood,
“because,” he says, ‘ all foreign substan
ces arc obliged to undergo a special process
before they are admitted and in conse
queuce of this great law of vitality,no sub
stances alien and hurtful to the svstern are
allowed tc penetrate and diffuse their nox
ious powers beyond the organs whose duty
it is to guard the organism from their in
troduction.” Vol. 1. p. 9.
If that were really so, every man's life
would be beyond his own reach or that of
his physician when they chose to take or
give poison, or even the apothecary’s mis
takes when he sends the wrong medicine.
Byt so certain is our authority that noth
ing foreign can enter the blooJ, that even
alcoholic stimulants are excluded and “are
not absorbed,” he says, “because alcohol
in the blood would cause speedy death by
reason of the coagulation or that fluid.”
Vol. 2. p 333. Of course alcohol in great
excess might do that, but everybody
knows that, taken in dilution, it proves as
a poison very slow tndeed. and it would
Ihke a considerable quantity to coagulate
twenty-tour or more pounds of blood,
more than three-fourths of which is water.
Experiments have been made by other au
tliorities, however, that prove beyond a
doubt that alcohol does get into the blood ;
and In a dog, killed almost hn
mediately after swallowing a portion, not
a drop was found in the stomach, while
the blood was full of it, just as endosmo
tist would naturally expect. There can be
no good reason given why, if alcohol thus
enter, water should bo excluded. Indeed
whatever has the proper tenuity and fluid
ty must enter by an inexorable law, and
cannot be kept out ot the veins, which un
like the absorbents, have no power of se
lection. Thus, though mineral waters be
full of foreign substances that can neither
be digested or assimilated, everybody who
has tried them knows that they must and
do enter the blood, otherwise, how could
they get to and so palpably attect the skin?
Again, nobody can deny that salt gets into
the blood, but salt is not assimilated, for
bushels given to hogs before death would
never form a part ot the meat, or save a
mrtlele of that article in the keeping ot it.
‘ i n consideration ot these and other facts,
the Professor’s theories and resnlts do not
tally, and he is torced to admit (vol. 1. p.
30) • “The precise mode of medication
wrought by some of our most energetic
means oi relief and cure, is, we contess,
bcuond our capacity to comprehend and
explain .” But he keeps on. nevertheless,
and gives them, just as all quacks and pie
tenders do, without knowing why. But
these contracted views have a very depres
sive influence on all professioua letiort;
for he declares (vol. 1. p. 20) : No sci
entitle practitioner ot medicine ever talks
of giving medicine to purity the cucula
turn of any putrid matters, or expel from
it any tormenting materials; and turtner
(p 53) says: “The lungs at this day are
i ot addressed by the physician in a direct
way of therapeutical application. And
this is true; for w)attempt is made to med
icate those organs in the only way m
which tuhercula can be prevented or re
moved, through and by the sanguineous
capillaries; because they think no met] tea
mint can enter the llood. T nder these
circumstances the prescription is change
of climate— a plain confession that their
art is powerless. With his hands thus
lied and his weapons of warfare greatly
circumscribed— with ample channels open
for efficient use, if he would, the Allopa
tliist calmly looks on while consumption is
at work, arid disdains to even “talk about
purifying the blood, because bis opinion,
as an expert, is made upthat nothing can.

ach, except the refuse of digestion, mus
pass into the blood ; must pass to the liver
and through its every capillary ; must be
there corpusculated. vitalized, deprived of
its biliary constituents, and the whole fi
bnnated and compounded before it can
enter the great circulation. He is also con
vinced that fluids of anv kind are taken up
by the veins by endosmose action, anti wa
ter charged with alcohol, or medicated
with saline or other chemical substances,
cannot be excluded: and so convinced is
he that foreign substances do enter the
blood, and that his own discretion in his
patient’s only protection; that not a drop
of poison will he give ; lor well he knows
that the system itself is utterly helpless—
that it cannot provide for its safety, no
matter what the professor and his coadju
tators may say to the contrary. This
knowledge, with a reasonable amount of
therapeutic acumen, opens up the whole
organization to the action of his remedies,
and in the thousands of millions of capilla
ries that exist there is not one beyond liis
reach. Why, then, should the lungs be an
exception ? They are not; and they
a .^IT . b iAnJcu re as any other
organ of the body, indeed they should be
more so ; for they are susceptible of treat
Blent in a double sense; I>oth by the sau
guinous capillaries through the blood, and
the aerial capillaries through the bronchi.
But notwithstanding all these capabilities
and possibilities, Allopathists fold their
hands and refuse to “address the lungs by
direct therapeutical application,” and so
the patient is left to suffer and to die, with
out the shadow ol a hope.
Endosmotic remedies are particularly
adapted to treatment of the lungs, and in
insipient consumption cannot fail to cure.
But after vascular connection is oblitera
ted by the deposit of tubercula, and no
means left by which to reach the scat of
the disease, the case ia different, though
even then, should the excavations be but
partail, the sound parts may be preserved
and life prolonged.
Let no man troubled with pains in the
chest, or cough be rash enough, however,
to Avait such full development, but hasten
at once to apply the necessary remedies,
for delay under such circumstances evinces
great temerity and might cost a life. It is
therefore necessary sometime to make
haste, and ivLen it is,
“My doors, like gates of gospel grace,
Stand open night and day,”
and day and night my remedies aie hur

work for it, are ever welcome.

The business outlook is rather cheer
ing. Indications of a revival in every
branch of business lead us to this con
clusion. The results of the panic have
been burdening the country long enough.
All branches of industry have pretty
much settled down to a successful ba
sis. The encouragements are to be
feund in the re-opening of the mills at
the North. It is stated that the A. &
W. Sprague Manufacturing Company
will start their extensive print works at
Providence, R. I. When they are op
erated to their fullest extent nearly a
thousand laborers will be employed.
It is also stated that the Kentucky
jeans mills would have been re-opened
before this. The agricultural interest
has without doubt reached a more suc
cessful mode of labor and cultivation.
The very fact that this interest is on a
bettter basis is guarantee that the de
pendent enterprises will look up.
EASTERN AND WESTERN VOTE.
There can be no doubt that the ratio
of Democratic gain in and
Main will be largely exceeded by that
in Ohio and Indiana. Smaller States
are more readily controlled and mani
ipulated by officials through the public
patronage, and the causes which this
year produce the general and marked
desire tor change, operate more forcibly
in the West than in the small New
England States. However, if Ohio and
Indiana do relatively as well as Maine
and Vermont, it will be enough, as
any one can see by deducting twenty
five per cent, from tbe previous Re
publican majorities. The first era of
the campaign is now over and Demo
crats will work with a will to secure
the continuation in October and trium
phant completion in November of the
good work of which August and Sep**
tember have witnessed the beginning.
The radical campaign in Maine was a
desperate one. The State was literally
covered with speakers, and tbe coloni
zazatiou of voters was as unblushingly
carried on as it is now in Indiana.
Were it not for such evident frauds as
are disclosed by the vote iu Portland,
the Republican majority would have
disappeared altogethe.
A Solid Democratic South. —The
Republicans are beginning to be afraid
of losing South Carolina. One of their
emissaries to that State, who has just
got back, states that the white people
there are united as they have never been
before, and that “white republican*
who are not office-holders are as scarce
as whales in the Ohio river.’’ He says
that the whites and the best and most
intelligent men of color are determined
to cary the election against the ignor
ant turbulent negroes, the carpet-bag
gers and the scalawags. The white
voters are determined, but peacably
disposed ; and so are the intelligent
men of color, nine-tenths of whom will
vote the Democratic ticket if they are
not intimidated by the lower classes of
their own race and the U. S. troops.
THE western*"german vote.
The indications are unmistable that In
diana and Ohio will be carried by the De
mocracy next month. Two months ago
this was not expected. It was then pretty
generally conceded by leading Democrats
that the Republicans would certainly car
ry Ohio, and most probably Indiana.—
Since then, however, the German Repub*.
licans iD those two States have been com
ing over to the Democracy, owing to the
course generally pursued by the Republi
can party on the temperance question.—
Attempts have been unsuccessfully made
by Republican writers and speakers to
convince the Germans that they will belit
tle themselves, and sink in public estima
tion, if they desert a party whose general
principles and measures they approve,
merely because it has failed to meet their
wishes on one petty issue, unworthy of
the priority of consideration which the
Germans give to it.
To the above specious sophistry the Ger
man newspapers reply that citizens of for
eign birth do not primarily object to the
enactment and enforcement of sumptuary
laws, because they interfere with their per
sonal interests, convenience and enjoy
ment, but because such laws are wrong in
spirit and principle. “The men,” say
they,” who threw the tea into Boston har
bor were not, necessarily, all tea drinkers.
Probably, some of them even disliked the
beverage. It was the principle of taxas
tion without representation to which the
people of the thirteen colonies objected ;
not the amount of the tax. “Millions
J J UV ® u uc cyuv fvi luute 7 ’ wax*
their motto. And it is to the principle jn
volved in sumtuary laws and Snnday laws
that most naturalized citizens and a large
and rapidly increasing proportion of native
citizens object. Adopted citizens of Ger
menj birth would not be worthy of the
high honor of Americansliip if “they did
not endeavoi to secure, by the peaceful
use of the ballot, the abolition of all arbi
trary restrictions on their personal liberty.
THE BAYONETS BLUNTED.
The calm forbearance of the citizens of
the South, and the impartial aud strictly
lawful conduct of the regular troops, has
so far nullified|the effect of the bayonet
order as an element in Southern election
eering. In Charleston the Democrats,
hunted by the mob, found their refuge be
hind the ranks of United States troops,
and it is Evident everywhere, that the troops
cannot forced into hostility to a
peaeeful aud law abiding people. In war,
laws, are silent, but in peace, arms fall.—
The administration bayonets are turned
aside from the election contest by the
mighty power of endurance of wrong and
supreme regard for order now exhibited by
the people of the South. At almost any
time or place, such a wicked and murder
ous riot as the one in Charleston ivould
have led to general massacre and pillages,
but the Democrats of Charleston, whit*
and colored, knowing that their only hope
lay in the supremocy of law and order,
preserved order even to the extent of
refusing to resist cruel and murderous
wrong. To say that such a people are
not fit to be trusted with their due and
modest share in the government of the
country is a denial of plain facts, and an
insult to the intelligence of the whole coun
try.
WHAT ARE THE REPUBLICANS
TO DO?
The New York Times denounces the
Republican system of assessments on office
holders, which furnishes the plenty of
money which the Times receives in pay
ment for its supplements and campaign
literature; and which keeps up the large
crop of Detectives it maintains for its dir
ty work. The New York Herald denoun
ces the bloody shirt campaign as a failure,
and says that it will make thousands on
thousands f Repiblicars vote for Tilden
and Hendricks. Now if the poor Radi
cals fail on both plenty of money and on
the bloody shirt, what are the}' to do for
a platform. It is too late for them to take
up other questions ivith any hope of exs
piaining wliy they have skirted them. If
they change base they will be routed. Ii
they adhere to their present line of march
they will be decimated on the way. The
Radical cause is hopeless. Let the Demo
crats press their flying columns and make
victory as complete, as it is uow secure.
New Hampsaihe. —The Democracy of
New Hampshire, met last week at Con
cord, nominated electors and passed the
following :
Resolved, That the recent order of the
President for the employment of the army
to control the elections in the Southern
States is an outarge upon the popular
rights and the freedom of the ballot and a
gross imposition of power and violation
of the constitution and merits the severest
condemnation of every patriotic citizen.
Gideon Welles, the honest Secretary
of the Navy in Lincoln’s Cabinet, is for
Samuel J. Tilden.
The Centennial Campaign.
[St. Louis Republican.]
Whatever may be the outcome
of the centennial Presidential cam
paign, its distinctive feature will
convince the world beyond our
borders that there are certain forces
at work within the Federal Union
which do not encourage very lively
hopes concerning its prosperity and
perpetuity. If there ever can be a
time when we may reasonably ex
pect a vigorous and lasting revival
of that fraternal confidence and af
fection without which the Union,
though pinned together by a million
bayonets, is a mere rope of sand—
that time is surely the present.
The hundredth return of the year
which saw the thirteen struggling
colonies emerge into a nation ought
to have revived a crow T d of blessed
momories, each one tending to knit
more closely together the descend"
ants of those immortal patriots who
poured out their treasure and their
blood upon the altar of American
liberty. It ought to have recalled
those dark yet glorious days when
the people of Massachusetts and the
people of South Carolina, the people
of Pennsylvania and the people of
Virginia, stood side by side in a
common cause and contributed to a
common victory. It ought to have
reminded those communities in
whose midst lies the sacred soil of
Bunker Hill, Bennington and
Saratoga that sister communities
in another section guard no less
proudly the soil of Cowpens, king,s
Mountain and Yorktown It ought
to have covered with a mantle of
kindly oblivion the dismal record
of civil strife, buried the later hate
resurrected the older love, and op
ened anew era of national happra
ness to atone for the miseries of a
wretehed past.
With such incendiary material
scatteied abroad by respectable
and usually truthful Republic.-n
papers, is it any wonder that there
are thousands of Republican clerg
ymen as bigoted and vindictive
as Curtis, and tens of thousonds of
the Republican rank and file ready
and aaxious to believe any lie their
unscrupulous teachers may form.
Is it any wonder Republican ma
jorities are rolled up in New Eng
land States, and that for the sake
of venting and unreasoning and
malicius spite upon oar Southern
fellow citizens the momentous is
sues of governmental reform are
trampled in the dust ?
Whether Hayes or Tilden is
elected in November, tho Republi
can party must carry a fearful bur
den of responsibility. Instead of
fighting the centennial Presidential
campaign in a manner worthy of
the centennial year; instead of ig
noring the dead past for the sake
of the living and urgent Dresent;
instead of allowing tbe contest to
be decided upon the respective
merits of Republican and Demo
cratic principles and policy, that
party has deliberately chosen to
tear open the half-healed wounds
of the war, in order that they may
bleed afresh and manufacture votes
thereby. The centennial year,
which might and should have been
a blessing, has, through Republican
instrumentality, been changed into
an unmitigated curse, whose poison
will fester in the nation’s heart long
after the men who mixed it are
forgotton. The Southern people
know now, if they did not know
before, that in the estimation of a
majority of the Northern people
they are incorrigible rebels, who
never can and never ought to be
trusted, who always will and al
ways ought to be governed by the
sword. And this is the way we
have celebrated and utilized our
centennial anniversary !
COLONIZING.
THOUSANDS OF KENTUCKY NEGRO
VOTERS TO BE IMPORTED INTO
INDIANA.
Louisville Special to the Cincinnattl Enquirer.
Notwithstanding the repeated
denials of the Republicans thi t they
are not importing voters to Indiana
from this State and Tennessee
things have become so patent that
it is the general topic of conversa
tion among the people. Only
three weeks ago one thousand five
hundred Kentucky negroes went
on an excursion to a point in In
diana, about five hundred return
ing. Investigation among the ne
groes leaves no doubt as to the
purpose of the Republican mana
gers here.
Since last Friday the Republi
cans have been busy here trying
to form companies of ex-Union col
ored soldiers, and others not ex
soldicrs, for the ostensible purpose
of joining the organization ot the
Boys in Blue, afid taking part in
Morton’s jubilee at Indianapolis on
the 20th inst.
This, however, is merely a blind.
Information perfectly reliable is
received that the negroes are being
enlisted for sixty or ninety days
under Dix’s organization, and some
made to believe that they are to
join the.regulararmy. They are to be
supplied with regular soldiers, uni
forms before going to Indianapolis,
and there given arms. The super
intendent of the Jeffersonvil lp,
Madison and Indianapolis Railroad
being a prominent Morton Repub
lican, has put the rates for the
round trip so low that nearly all
the negroes can go, and those una
ble are to be transported at the
expense of the Republican mana
gers. They are to be paid one dol
lar per day for the term of enlist
ment, and the Enquirer correspon
dent was told by a negro that the
white man offered to pay him five
dollars for his vote besides expen
ses. Companies are being formed
in each ward of the city under the
charge of regular officers.
In this manner fully 2,500 ne-.
gro voters from Louisville can he
sent to Indianapolis, there to be
distributed. One member of the
Republican Committee here told a
white man if he would go on the
transportation, go to Indianapolis
and report there to some officer and
look after the negroes, he would
find plenty of money there for all
purposes.
Another white man named John
Hayes, an ex-Union soldier, was
asked to enlist for sixty days, and
was offered one dollar per day. He
wanted to know what it was for,
and wanted to know what was to
be done at Indianapolis. The res
ply was, “After you sign and are
sworn, vou will find out.” He re
fused to sign unless proper infor
mation was given him. At a meet
ing the othej* night at the custom
house a muster-roll to muster in
the men for six months was shown
and the men are to be enrolled,
apparently, to go out to the Indian
country, but to remain in Indiana
for two months.
Many negroes really imagine
that they arc to join the army,
wnen there is no authorized re
cruiting offiaer in the city The
leaders, however, had been given
to understand that they are wanted
in Indiana to vote the Republican
ticket. In addition to the compa*
nies of colored Odd Fellows and
Masons to go to the Jubilee, some
have gone already. To-morrow an
excursion of three thou.-and ne
groes is coming here from South- 1
ern Kentucky on an excursion
around this city, but most of them
will be shipped to points in Indi
ana. The Democratic managers
here are doing all they can to put
a stop to the business, and hun
dreds of negroes will be spotted in
Indiana before the election in Oo
tober-
Discovery of the Source of the
Nile.
The President of the Royal Ge
ographical Society, Sir Henry
Rawlinson, lias received from Gen
eral Stone a letter dated Cairo,June
10, enclosing a telegram received
from General Gordon announcing
the definite discovery of the Nile.
It was in 1873 that Captain Speke
telegraphed to Sir Roderick Mur
chison, “The Nile problem is seL
tied.” So far, however, was this
from being the literal truth that a
dozen years have passed without
confirmation. Speke traced the
stream to the Albert Nyanzi or
Lake, which Sir Samuel Baker
reached the next year, and also ex
plored a tributary of the Lake, to
which he gave the name of the
Somerset river, and which has since
been found to be a channel connect
ing the Victoria aud Albert Nyant
zas, discharging the waters of the
former into the latter. But geog
raphers were not satisfied.
They insisted upon the
probable source in a third lake
close to the equator, and called the
Tanganyaka. To this Speke stren
uously objected, insisting that the
true source of the Nile is in the
Victoria basin, and this assumption
has been verified by an Egyptian
expedition commanded by Mr.
Gessi, an engineer on tbe staff of
Gen. Gordon. He has followed
the White Nile to its emergence
from the Albert Nyanza ; has cir*
cumnavigated that inland sea and
carefully measured it, and has pro
nounced the Victoria Nvauza to
be the head reservoir from which
the Nile derives its water. Thus
Speke is sustained to the fullest ex
tent, and must henceforth be horn,
ored as the real discoverer of a
crcj that for two thousand years
has puzzled the brains of mankind.
Oral or and Newspapers.
Compare the orator, one of the
noblest vehicles for the diffusion of
thought, with the newspaper, and
you may gain a faint glimpse of
the übiquitous powers of the latter;
orator speaks to but to a few hun
dreds, the newspapers address
millions ; the words of the orator
may die in the air, the language of
the newspaper is stamped on tablets
imperishable as marble; the argu<
ments of the orator may follow
each other so rapidly that the ma
jority of the audience may struggle
in a net of ratiocination, the reas
oning of the newspaper may be
scanned at leisure without a fear of
perplexity ; the passion of the ora
tor influences an assembly, the feel
ing of a newspaper for the world—
the one shines for an hour, the oth
er glows for all time ; the orator
may be compared to lightning,
which flashes over a valley for a
moment but it leaves it again in
darkness, the newspaper to a sun
blazing steadily over the whole
earth, and fixed on the basis of its
own eternity.
Painting has been happily de
fined the art which preserves arts.
Printing makes the orator more
than an orator. It catches up his
dymg words, and breathes into
them the breath of life. It is the
gallerv through which the orator
thunders in the ears of ages. He
leans irom the tomb over the cra
dle of rising generations.
Don't be too Sensitive.
There are many people always
looking out for slights. They can
not carry on the daily intercourse of
the family without finding that
some offense is designed. They are
as touchy as hair-triggers. If they
meet an acquaintance who happens
to be preoccupied with business,
they attribute liis abstraction in
some matter personal to themselves
and take umbrage accordingly
They lay on others the fruit of their
utter irritability. Indigestion makes
them see impertinence in every one
they come in contact with. Inno
cent persons who never dreamed of
giving offense, are astonished to
fiud some unfortunate word, or
momentary taciturnity, mistaken
for an iusult. To say the least, the

to take the more charitable view
of our fellow beings, and not sup
pose that a slight is iutended unless
the neglect is open and direct.
After all, too, life takes its hues in
a great degree from the color of
our own minds. If wo are frank
and generous, the world treats us
kindly ; if on the contrary we are
suspicious, men learn to he cold

person get the reputation of being

A Bov’s Composition on Oiks.
—Hens is curious animals. They
dont have no nose, nor no teeth,
nor no ears. They swaller their
wittles whole and chaw it up in
their crops inside of ’em. The out
side of hens is generally put inter
pillars and made inter leather dus
ters. The inside of a hen is some
times filled up with marbles and
shirt buttons and sich,
A hen is very much smaller than
a good many other animals but
they’ll dig up more tomato plants
than anything that ain’t a hen.—
Hens is very useful to lay eggs for
plum pudding. Bet yer life I like
plum pudding. Skinny Bates eat
so much plum pudding once that it
set him inter the collery. Hens has
got wings and can fly when they
are scart. I cut my uncle William
hen’s neck oft* with a hatchet it
scart her to death. Hens some
times makes very fine spring chick

TifE lesf Evidence.
The following letter from Rev. E. 8. Best, Pastor
of the M. E. Church, Natick, Mass., will be read
with interest by many physicians; also those Buffer
ing from the same disease as afflicted the son of the
Itev. E. 8. Best. No person can doubt this testimo
ny, .is there is no doubt about the curative Dower
of VEGETINE.
„ Natice, Mass., Jan. lat, 1873.
MR. H R STEPHENS :
Lear Sir—We have good reasons for regarding
your VEGETINE a medicine of the greatest value.
We feel assured that it has been the means of sav
ing our son’s life. He is now seventeen 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 physi
cians could give us but faint hopes of bis ever ral
lying, two of the number declaring that he was be
yond the reach of human remedies, that even am
putation could not save him, as he bad not vigor
enough to endure the operation. Just then we
(•commenced giving him VEGETINE, and from
that time to the present he has been continuously
improving. He has lately resumed studies, thrown
away his cruthes and cane, and walks about cheer
fully and strong.
Though there is still some discharge from the
opening where his limb.was lanced, we have the ful
lest coniidence that in a little time he will be per
fectly cured.
He has taken about three doxen bottles cf VEGE
TINE, but lately uses but little, as he declares he is
too well to be taking medicine.
Respectfully yours,
E. 8. BEST,
Mbs. L. C. F. BEST.
