DIR. STEPHEN JEWETT.
DR.. Stephen Jewctt was q native of
Rindge, NH. He was born IN 1868,
and was cngaged!in an extensive and
successful practice of me dicine for more
than thirty years. He was one Of those
vigorous, selt-taught men thnt appear
ed OH the stage IN years gone ny. but
oi whom hardly ono now remains. OBJ
stacies which disheartened others. pre-
sented no impediments 10 his active and
vigorous mind He was by nature a
physician. In early life he commenced
his experiments to discover the medical
quality of roots and herbs. He availed
himself Of the aid Of books and physi-
cians, when opportunity offered /;
but was untrammelled by the dogmas
of books, professors or schools. In the
course OF years by dint Of hard study,
unwearied experin ents and investiga-
tons, he became an eminent physi-
clan.
He devoted himself more particularly
to those diseases which are commonly
called chronic, affecting the vital or
gans and in thus department Of disease
he was preeminently successful. Many
who ha gone through course OF med
ical treatment with celebrated prachtion-
ers, and pronounced incurable, finally
resorted to him and were restored to
health. Although he lived in a retired
country village, his name and his skill
became known throughout a large PT'
ton Of the New England States. His
medicines seemed to give new tone,
life and vigor to the whole system. -
They had a renovating power which no
other medium seemed TO possess. The
writer Of this well remembers of witnes-
sing in early life some Of his remarkable
cures. A person afflicted with derange-
ment of the stoma IN and bowels, an af-
lection OF the lungs, or inaction and gen.
eral debility OF the whole body, was sure
to find reliefby applying to him. Enoch
Patterson, Esq, OF Boston, formerly the
well known proprietor oil the Patterson
House, in Elm street, says that more
than thirty years ago he was to all ap-
pearances IN the last stages Of consump-
ton. Having heard Of DR.. Jewett, he
thought he would attempt to gain his
residence and put himself under his
care but 90 weak and feeble he then
was, that il took him two and hall
days to ride the distance, although It
was only sixt, miles. He took his med
iclnes and became Immediately reliev-
ed, and in ashort time was restored to
good health. And he emphatically says,
"To his medicines, and his alone, do
attribute my recovery" Many persons
now living can attest to numerous cases
of disease cured by him, similar TO tins.
In 1925, DR.. Jeweu died, aged G2.--
Although he had vigorous constitu'
ton, vet his incessant toll in a practice
too cxclusv. and laborious for even
.trong man long to endure, wore hun
out before the allotted age to man.
His numerous friends then supposed
that his skill had died with him. His
son, the present DR.. Stephen Jewets
was then, and for many ycrrs alter
wards in other pursuits, and paid no AT
tenlion to medicine, or the cure oil d.
seases. At length the importantly ior
the Jewcu medicines was SO great, mat
he felt compelled 10 turn his attention
to the subject. In examining his faith
cr's papers, he found full receipts tor
making his medicines. He commenced
making them OH very small scale, anu
dealt them out to those who applied
But TO begin to make and deal out the
old DE-. Stephen Je,ceu medicines, was
like touching fire to The dry grass oi a
Western prairie. He could not supply
the demand. He was overwhelmed
with applications. He then began IN
sober earnest to make the Jcwcu medi-
cines in sufficient quantity 10 supply inc
demand. II is only two years since he
commenced the manufacture, and as
vet the demand seems to outstrlp the
supply. The Jewett medicines are dcs'
tined 70 pervade the country, They
will become more extensively known
and used than any other medicine YET
discovered, not excepting, "Brandreth's
Pills" and the various kinds oi "Sarsa-
parilla." They will diituse health and
comior. wherever used, because they
are really what they are stated to be,
health restoring medicines, and "wlll
stand the test OF talents and OF time"
Although DR.. Jewett had large
practice, extending to the remotest cor
ners of New England, and even to the
city of New York, yet his moderate
charges and his gratuitous visits to the
sick and needy were so many, that he
merely acquired q moderate compesen-
cy during his life; yet it may he truly
said that he has left to his descendants
a legacy richer than the choicest mine
of California gold while at the same
time he has bestowed on posterily a
greater boon than untold wealth can
ever give. If he lived for wealth he
lived in vain; but if he lived TO do what
he could to alleviate the suficrings OF
his race, as unques,ionably he did, then
he nobly fulfilled the great duties OF
life, and has gone to receive hls reward
