SCROFULA.
SCROFULOUS HUMOkS,

If Vegetine will relieve pain, cleanse, purify
and cure such diseases, restoring the patient to
perfect health after trying different ply sicians,
many remedies, suffering for years, is it not con-
elusive proof, if you are sufferer, you can be
cured! Why is this medicine performing such
great cures! 1t works in the blood, in the oircu-
liting fluid. 1t truly be called the Great
Blood Purifier. The great source Of disease orig
mates in the blood; and no medicine that does
not act directly upon it, to purity and renovate,
has any just claim upon public attention. When
the blood becomes lifeless and stagnant, either
from change Of weather or climate, want of exer-
else, irregular diet, from any other cause, the
Vegetine will renew the blood, carry of the put
rid humors, cleanse the stomach, regulate the
bowels, and impart tone of vigor to the whole
body. The conviction is, in the public mind as
we'll as in the medical profession, that the reme-
dies supplied by the Vegetable Kingdom are
safe, successful, in the cure Of di-
sease, than mineral medicines Vegetine is com
posed of roots, barks and herbs. 1t is pleasant
to take, and is perfectly safe to give an infant.
In Scrofula the Vegetine has performed yonder-
full cnres where many other remedies haA fail
ed, will be seen by few Of the many tesApo-
mails given.

The VOICE OF TUE SnELL.-When shell
is held up to the ear, there is a peculiar
vibratory noise. Philosophically inyest-
gated, the peculiar sound thus recognized
is phenomenon that very much perplex-
ed learned gentlemen fer a long while.
The experiment is easily made by SIMPLY
pressing spiral shell, common in col
lectons. over the ccrebrum Of either ear.
If large shell, the sound is very much
like that of far-off cataract. Now,
what causes it? Every muscle in the
body is always in state Of tension. Some
are more on the stretch than others, par
ticularly those OF the fingers. 1t is con-
ceded that the vibration of the fibers OF
those in the fingers being communicated
to the shell, it propagates and intensfies
it, as the hollow body Of a violin does the
vibration Of its strings, aud thus the
acoustic nerve receives the sonorous i'm.
pres.ions. Muscles of the leg below the
knee are said to vibrate in the same way,
and if conducted to the ear produce the
same result
