BOSTON, May 80, 1871.
H. R. STEVENS, ESQ.,: Dear Sir-1 have been bad
have suffered great pain in my back, hips and side,
with great difficulty In passing urine, which was Of
ten. and in very small quantities. frequently accom-
panied with blood and excruciating pain.
l have faithfully tried most Of the popular reme-
les recommended for my complaint; j have been
under the treatment of some of the most skfu ply
sicians in Boston ali of whom pronounced my case
incurable. This was my condition when was az,
vised by friend to try the VEGETINE, and couid
from that moment kept on improving until was
entirely cured, taking in ALL should think, about
six bottles
1t is indeed valuable medicine and if should be
afflicted again in the way, would give dollar
dose, if could not get it without:
Respectfully, j. M. GLE.
961 Third Street. South Boston.
NEARLY BLIND.
H. R. STEVENS: Dear Sir-In expressing my
thanks to you for benefits derived from the use OF
VEaETINE, and to benefit others. I will state:-
When eight or nine years old was afflicted with
and head. and was vsry near blind for two years.
All kinds of operations were performed on my eyes,
and all to no good result. Finally the disease prnci-
paly 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, bought bottle of VEGETINE, and
commenced using according to directions In Two OF
three days obtained great relief After using g -FOUR
the rough, scaly blOtches on my body and legs. l
still used VEGETINE and the humorous sores one at,
ter another disappeared until they all gone, and
attribute the cure of the tw diseases to VEGETNE
and nothing else,
If am ever affected with anything Iof the kind
again shall try VEGETrNE the only reliable rem
edy. Once more accept my thanks, and believe me-
to be, Very respectfully, AUSTIN PARRoTT.

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 impurities in the blood causing humors which
settle on these parts. VEeETINE excels any known
remedy in the whole world for cleansing and purify
ing the blood, thereby causing healthy action to all
the organs of the body.

Kidney Complaint.

Probably there is no complaint that aiicts the hui
man system which is so little understood at the pres
emf time. as some of the varied forms OF Kidney
Complaints. 100000 cool,
or more alarming in its results than when the kid
news fail to secrete from the blood the uric acid, and
other poisonous substances which the blood accum-
ulates in its circulation through the system.
IF from any cause the kidneys fail to perform the
functions deyoying upon them. the cumulations are
taken up BY the absel 6ents and the whole system
suffering and very often immediate death. Hence the
importance of keeping the kidneys and blood in
healthy condition, through which all the impurities
of the hudv must pass.
