H. R. STEVENS, ESQ.,:
Dear Sir,-Probably no case of Kidney Complaint
has ever come under your observation where this
painful disease had stubbornly refused to yield
to the influence of so many different remedies my
own.
1 have suffered pain (more than can describe)
through my back, hips and limbs together with great
difficulty in passing the urine which very often
and in small quantities. For twenty years 1 have
been great sufferer with this complaint. 1 have
tried all ofthe remedies recommended which came
within my reach. 1 have been to South America, to
all parts of the South and West, to if change of
climate would help me. have expended thousands
ofd0ars to obtain relief still my only reply could
be, No better. Nd ~ - 4s'-+
About year ago, was advised by my friends to
try the VEGETINE; they having taken it themselves
and been cured. Without much faith, consented to
try it; and can truly say that received great BEN
eft from the first bottle. l began to rest better
nights and not obliged to urinate so often with
much less pain After taking three or four bottles
was not obliged to get up but or twice during
the night; and the pain in my back and limbs was
growing less from day to day. have taken in all
some twelve or fifteen bottles; and to-day / am as
able to attend to active business as any man. Who
appreciate the blessing of good health more than
who has suffered for twenty years as have? Is
it not my duty (now have found relief to make
this fact known? The VEGETINE has done more for
me than ever dared to hope expect from any med
icine and believe be, dear sir happy at all times
to speak in its favor.
am, &C., very gratefully yours,

1 didn't feel very well this morning, my
slumbers were not refreshing last night
concluded to go to the masquerade at Flu
ent Hail. l knew it was private affair and
that's what induced me. When hear that
anything strictly private is going on make it
point to be there because there's something
worth seeing and hearing. So washed my
face and combed my hair and walked up The
door-keeper didn't know me and asked for my
card handed him the ace of clubs He said
it was good and might pass, and he played it
on me by introducing the original Fifteenth
Amendment with the front part of his feet
tucked into an ancient pair of saddle bags. I
intimated that would like to interview gen
tleman of different political complexion, and
he presented me to Mr.. Awgwakwaw, chief of the
Hugmenots, who had ON all his old clothes and
war-paint and examined the color and length of
my hair. He said / might dance with his
squaw and we danced-I guess it was the Ger
man-it had a flavor of lager bier. Then went
and sat down All Alone with Lady in White
L asked her what her name was and she said
Charles Reade, 1 told her my name wasn't
Charles and couldn't read-withont my glass
es; and she got up and went away. Presently
the Jack of Clubs came along, and he was a
better card in the pack, because he was floor
manager, and he took me-. Said he wanted to
introduce me to 1871, who was in the hail. but
told him had known the old gentleman 365
days and he went back on me- Walked over
the other side of the hall and interviewed Uncle
Sam and Miss Columbia on the Tichborne case
and they asked me which stock was quickest
in the market, Tichborne or Ogdensburg.
Came across chap that 1 saw last summer in
the ring at the circus, and asked him to give
me his card. He said he was an Odd Fellow
and there were several of his brothers in the
hall; and guess there was, for they were set
of queer looking fishes, especially the Mermaid
had just settled down to nice little chat with
a beautiful Snowdrop, when Mephestopheles
came down on me. I quieted the old fellow
with tract and got away just in time for a
quadrille with a charming Wander and would
have accepted her invitation to take SUI thin out
of her canteen if an original 69-er hadn't been
in the same set. Well, can't stop to tell you
all about my experiences. L had plenty of sor-
row. The Fat boy trod on my toe, the Girl of
the period told me was too fast for her. An
English snob quizzed me through his glass
aw, and felt disguised. 1 asked the privilege
of promenading with the archeress, but she
pointed to the bow at her back and said she
didn't want another and took the hint fin
ally got Scotch Lassie to promenade with me.
She asked me was a Pilgrim, and then
thought was; and the company formed them
selves round the hall, and the chief musician
blew his horn and the people slipped their
masks off before knew it. 1 wanted to go
home then; because, you see, just as soon as
they got their masks of they all knew me-and
1 went home.
told my wife had been to Lodge and we
had good deal of business and infatuated lots
of candidates; but somehow I didn't sleep well.
l wasn't to blame; twas her.
