VEGETINE
Purifies the Blood, Renovates
and Invigorates the Whole
System.
ITlt'MEDIOAL PROPERTIES ABK f
Alterative, Tonic, Solvent,
and Diuretic.
Vegetine is mado eiclusivety from the uices of
carefully-selected bark3, roots and herbs, and so
strongly concentrated that it will effectually eradicate
from the system every taint of Scrofula, Scrofu¬
lous Humor, Tumors, Cancer, Cancerous
Humor, Erysipelas, Salt Itlienm, Syphi¬
litic Diseases, Canker, Faintness at tiio
Stomach, and all diseases that arise from impure
blood. Sciatica, Inflammatory and Chronic
Rheumatism, Neuralgia, CJout, and Spinal
Complaints, can only bo effectually cured through
the blood.
For Ulcers and Eruptive Diseases of tho
Skin, Pustules, Pimples, Blotches, Boils,
Tetter, Scalclheacl, andliingwoz'iu, Vegetine
has never failed to effect a permanent cure. i
For Pains in the Back, Kidney Com¬
plaints, Dropsy, Female Weakness, Ecu.
corrhoca, arising from internal* ulceration, and
Uterine diseases aud General Debility, Vege
TINe act3 directly upon the causes of these coin*
p.aints. It invigorates and strengthens tho wholo
system, aots upon the secretive organs, allays inflam¬
mation, cures ulceration and regulates the bowels.
For Catarrh, Dyspepsia, Ilabitaal Cos¬
tiveness, Palpitation of the Heart, Head¬
ache, Piles, Nervousness, and General
Prostration of the Nervous System, no
medicine has over given such perfect satisfaction as
tire Vegetine. % It purifies the blood, cleanses all of
tho organs, and posesses a controlling power over the
nervous system.
The remarkable cores effected by Vegetine have
induced many physicians and apothecaries whom we
know, to prescribe and use it in their own families.
fn fact, Vegetine is the best remedy yet discov¬
ered for tile above diseases, and is the only reliable
BLOOD P UBlEXEByct placed before tlie public.
THE BEST EVIDENCE.
Tne following letter from Rev. IC. S. Best, Pastor
of M. E. Church, Natick Mass., will be read with
interest by many physicians; also those suffering
from the same disease as afflicted the son of the Rev.
E. S. Best. No person can doubt this testimony, as
there is no doubt about the curativo powers of
Vegetine.
Mb. II. R. Stevens Natick, Mass., Jan. 1, 1874.
:
Dear Sir,—We have good reason for regarding
your Vegetine a medicine of the greatest value.
VV o feel assured it lias been the means of saving our
Ben’s life, lie is now seventeen years of age For
pin last two years he has suffered f rom necrosis of

recovery could impossible. A council of able phjsicians
give us but the faintest hope of his ever rally¬
ing ; two of the number declaring that he was beyond,
the reach ot human remedies, that even amputation
could not save lnm, as ho had not vigor enough to
endure the operation. Just then we commenced

Under the head ‘A‘most a Serious
Difficulty,’ the Cedar!own Express says :
‘While some hands were working the
road near Taylorsville last week, a mis¬
chievous boy remarked as ;i clog passed
alon r , that it resembled a mulatto negro
woorking with the squad. The negro
replied that it he did look like a dog, he
(the negro) was as good as the boy. A
larger brother of the bov took the re»
mark up, and one word brought on an
other until blows were reached. The
wf)ite fl I[o ^ knocked the negro down.
From this the negroes present buckled
on their armors, and ot course the white
men present came to the rescue. After
two or three ot the negroes were floored,
Captain Jake Deveit interposed, and j
peace was declared. No bloodshed.’

The following significant manifiesto

of the Republican party of Georgia ;
“ v\ e believe the party should be fully
organized throughout the Stale, and that
a thorough canvass of each Congressonal

Rights or Husband and Wipe. —In a
case before the Circuit Court of Talbo'
county, Maryland, last week, the court
decided* that an insolvent husband hav¬
ing a policy of insurance on his wife,
and if she should survive him she should
be entitled to the sum insur.d, free* clear?
and discharged of her husband’s credit¬
ors though he had continued insolvent
and paid the premiums up to the time of
his death. An appeal has been taken
from the decision.

signed them. Four members of the ex¬
amining committee met in the residence
of Mr. S. V. White on Wednesday night
and decided to take Up the charges and
P alj Mrs. Tihon on her defence. Ihe
charges are that Mrs. Tild°n slandered
her pastor in the confess!' n which she
published accusing him of adultery, and
that she violated her covenant in giving
the letter for publication before submit*
ting it to the church. Mr. Tilney was
instructed to serve a copy ot the charges

Wahallaj S. C., is excited over a trag¬
edy which occured last week, It fteems
that a Col. Rudd, about seventy yeatrs of
age, had been courting Misis Ida Bruh
neii, aged about twenty, the beitiitiful
daughter of a vVelRto-do farmer of ’that
county. The father ot the gtrf bitterly
opposing the marriage, an elopertietft to
Tennessee was ananged, Which Kfould
have succeeded but for.the perfidy of a
negro girl, who told Mr, Bruhneil the
affair as soon as the lovers were well
started. They fled on horseback, aocom-*
panied by a male fiiend. The fither
armed with a double-barrelled gun, *pur-»
sued and overtook iheni near Forshaw’s
Crossing. He hailed them and warned
Badd that if he' didn’t stop and SHrren"
der his daughter he would kill hirti. * But
they only pushed onward faster. Aa
they attempted to cross the creek Bruh*
neii fired, killing Budd instantly. He
returned home with his daughter,
placed her in charge of her mother and
fled the country, The girl seems to have
been madly infatuated with her ancieut
lover. i/sfe-*
