The physicians all gave me up to die, and said they could do no more for me. Both of my legs were drawn up to my seat, and it was thought if did get up again would be crip- pie for life. When in this condition saw VEaErINE advertised, and commenced taking it in March, and followed on with it, until had used 1o bottles and this morning am going to plough corn,a well man, All my townsmen say it is miracle to me round walking and working. In conclusion will add, when I enduring such great suffering, from that dreadful disease, Scrofua, prayed to the Lord above to take me out of this world, but as VEGEr1NE has restored to the blessing of health, desire more than ever to live, that may be of service to my fellow man, and I know of no better way to aid suffering humanity than to h. close you this statement of my case, with earnest hope that you will publish it, and it will afford me pleasure to reply to any communication which may receive therefrom. am, sir, very respectfully,

 IfVEaET1NE will relieve pain, cleanse purify and such diseases, restoring the patient to perfect health after trying different physicians, many remedies, suffering for years, is it not conclusive proof, if you sufferer, you can be cured Why is this medicine performing such great cures? It works in the blood, in the circulating fluid. It truly be called the Great Blood-Furifer. The great source of disease originates in the blood and no medicinn that does not act directly upon it, to purify renovate, has any just claim upon public attention. When the blood becomes hfeless and stagnant either from change of weather climate. want of exercise irregular diet, from any other cause the VEGETINE will renew the blood, carry of the putrid humors, cleanse the stomach, regulate the bowels, and impart tone of vgor to the whole body. The conviction is in the public mind as well supplied by the Vegetable Kingdom more safe, successful in the cure of disease than mineral medicines. VEGETINE is composed of roots, barks, and herbs It is pleasant to take and perfectly safe to give infant. In Scrofula the VEGETINE has performed wonderful cures, where many other remedies have failed, will be by the forow- ing unsolicited testimonial:

In Brittany there is said to prevail a curious matrimonial custom. On cer- tain fete days the young ladies appear in red petticoats, with white or yellow borders around them.

Died Sud denly of Heart Disease.

How common is the announcement Thou sands are suddenly swept into eternity by this fatal malady. This disease generally has it's origin ill impure blood filled with irritating, poisonous materials, which, circulating through the heart irritate it's delicate tissues. Though the irritrtion may at first be only slight, pro- ducing little palpitation or irregular action or dull, heavy, or sharp darting pains yet by and by the disease becomes firmly seated, and inflammation, or hypertrophy, or thickening of the lining membrane or of the valves, is pro- duced. How wise to give early attention to & case of this kind. Unnatural throbbing or pain in the region of the heart should admonish one that ali is not right, and if you would pre- serve 1t from further disease, you must help it to beat rightly by the use of such a remedy as Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery before the disease has become too seated, and it will, by its great blood purifying and wonderful regu- lating properties, effect perfect cure. It contains medicinal properties which act specif- caly upon the tissues of the heart, bringing about healthy action. Sold by all first-class Druggists.
