NEARLY BLIND.

H. r. STEVENS: Dear Sjr-In expressing my
thanks to you for benefits derived from the use OF
VEGETINE, and to benefit others, l will state:-
When eight or nipe years old was afflicted with
Scrofula which made its appearance in my eyes, lace
and head, and was very near blind for two years.
All kinds of operations performed on my eyes,
and all to good result. Finally the disease princi-
pally settled in my body limbs and feet and at times
in an aggravated way.
Last summer was, from some cause, weak in my
spine and kidneys, and it was at times very hard to
retain the urine Seeing your advertisement in the
Commercial, 1 bought bottle of VEG ETINE, and
commenced using according to directions. In two or
three days obtained great relief After using four
or five bottles noticed it had wonderful effect on
the rough, scaly blOtches on my body and legs. l
still used VEGETINE and the humorous sores one al
ter another disappeared until they all gone, ana
l attribute the of the two diseases to VEGETINE
and nothing else,
III am ever affected with anything sof the kind
again shall try VEGETINE as the only reliable rem
edy. Once more accept my thanks, and believe me
to be- Very respectfully, AUSTIN PARRQTT.

Diseases of the Kidneys Bladder, ETC., are ALWAYS
unpleasant and at times they become the most dis
tressing and dangerous diseases that can AFFECT the
human system. Most diseases Of the Kidneys arise
from mpuritie in the blood, causing humors which
settle on these parts. VEGETINE excels any known
remedy in the whole world for cleansing and purity
ing the blood thereby causing healthy action to all
the organs of the body.

Pitched Battle Between q Rat and a
Snake.

A friend gave US an account of des-
perate fight, which he witnessed,
between cotton-mouth, or highland
moccasin snake, about three and half
feet long, and large rat. The fight had
evidently been going on under the pick
room of Clubhouse. In the struggle
the combatants came from beneath the
house. The rat was evidently the assail-
ing party, and would rush upon his an
tagonist with the fierceness of a hyena.
The snake would occasionally make its
coil and strike the rat, knocking it about
two feet. Nothing daunted, he would
return to the assault, biting the snake
wherever he could catch hold, and shak-
ing him like a terrier killing rat. At
times the snake would get the rat in its
fold, but the little fellow would struggle
out. The snake frequently endeavored
to escape by climbing a cotton stalk, but
the rat would seize him by the tail, tear
ing the flesh away, and finally pulling
him down, though several times the
snake lifted him over a foot from the
ground. They fought in this manner
over at least a hundred and fifty yards
across the patch of cotton. At length
the snake stretched itself out, to all ap-
pearances dead, when the rat took po-
sition two or three yards of, and quietly
sat down and licked himself, keeping a
keen eye on the lookers-on, though ap-
parently without any fear. One struck
the snake on the head with a stick,
which killed it. The flesh was almost
entirely torn off for at least foot up its
tail.-Shreveport (La.) Times.

Dreams Fulfilled.

1t is related of the Emperor Charles
V that being one day engaged in the
chase, he lost himself in a forest. After
long wandering, he came to solitary
ale house, which he entered. In the
house were four men of forbidding
aspect. The Emperor, however sat down
and refreshed himself. The men pre-
tended to sleep; but at length one of
them rose and approached the Emperor,
saying that he dreamt that he had taken
his hat, and took it off bis head (the
Emperor's). The second, saying that he
dreamt be had taken his coat, took that
also. The third, on the same pretense,
took his waistcoat; and the fourth, seeing
gold chain about the Emperors neck,
whence hung his hunting horn, was about
to take that, too, but tt Emperor said,
"Stop, my friend, 1 dare say you cannot
blow the horn; / will teach you" So,
putting it to bis mouth, he blew repeat
edly and loudly. His people, who were
searching for him, heard the sound and
entered the cottage. "Here are four
fellows" said the Emperor, ".who have
dreamt what they please; l must also
dream in my turn" So he sat down
and shut his eyes for while, when he
started up, saying, 81 have dreamt that
1 saw four thieves hanged. Let those
men be executed Immediately" The
master of the inn was compelled to carry
the sentence into execution.
