coyery impossible. council of able physicians
could give us but the faintest hope OF his ever rally

the reach of human remedies, that even amputation
could not save him. LIE had not vgor enough to en-
dure the operation. Just then we commenced giving
him VEGETINE and from that time to the present.
he has been continually improving. He has lately
resumed studies thrown away bus crutches and cane,
and walks about cheerfully and strong.
Though there is still some discharge from the OPEN
ing where his limb lanced, We have the fullest
confidence that in little time he will be perfectly
cured.
He has taken about three dozen bottles OF VEGE-
TINE but lately but little, as he declares he is
too well to be taking medicine.
Respectfully yours,
