proprietor OF the Patterson House, ~ Elm street,

miles, lie took his medicines and became mn
medaicly relieved, and IN q short time was re-
stored TO good health And he emphaticaily
says, " TO his medicines, and his alone, do at

Ia 1928. DR. Jeweti died, aged 90 Although
he had a vigorous constitution. yet his uces5aut

even a strong man long to endure, wore HIM out

ty for the 5ewet medicines was 50 great That he.
ject Ia terminating lis fathers papers he
found full receipts for making his medicines. He
commenced making them on very small scale,
and dealt them ont to those who applied. But
TO begin to make ana deal out the old Dr.. Stephen
Jcreh mediculeS, was like touching fire 70 the dry
grass of " cstDrn prairie ile could not sup

since he commenced the manufacture and as vet
the demand seems 70 outstup the supply. The
Jeweu medicines are destined TO peryade the
country. They wall become more extensively
known and used than any other medicine yet S

and the various kinds of Slrslplrilla." They

because they are really what they are stated to
be, health restoring medicines, and will stand

Although DR.. Jewe't had large practice ex-
tending TO the reMotcst corners Of New England,
and even 10 the city Of New York, vet his mod
emte charges and bis eratutous visits to the sick
and needy were so many, that he merely acquir-
ed a moderate competency during his life; yet
1t may be truly sand that he has lett to his de-
scendants legacy richer than the choicest NINE
of California gold; while at the same he has be-
slowed on posterty a greater boon than untold
wealth can ever give. If he lived for wealth,
he lived in yaini but If lived to do what he
could TO alleviate the sufferngs of h.s race, as
unquestionably he did, then he nobly fulfilled the
great duties Of life and has gone to receive his
reward. A. A. p.
