" afflicted with Kidney Complaint for ten years
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.
have faithfully tried most of the popular rene
es recommended for my complaint; have been
under the treatment of some of the most skfu ply
sicians in Boston, all of whom pronounced my case
incurable. This was my condition when was adj
vised by friend to try the VEGETINE, and ! could
see the good effects from the first dose took, and
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
a dose, if could not get it without.
Respectfully, j. M. GLE.

NEARLY BLIND.

H. R. STEVENS: Dear Sir-In expressing my
thanks to yea for benefits derived from the use OF
VEGRTINE, and to benefit others. will state:-
When eight or nine years old was afflicted with
Scroula. which made its appearance in my eyes, face
and head, and was very near blind for two years.
All kinds of operations performed on my eyes,
and all good result. Finally the disease princi
pay 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 at times very hard to
retain the urine. Seeing your advertisement in the
Commercial, bought a bottle of VEGETINE, 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, scay blOtcheS on my body and legs.
still used VEGETINE and the humorous sores one af-
ter another disappeared until they were all gone and
attribute the of the two diseases to VEGETINE
and nothing else,
If 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 mt
to be, Very respectfully, AUSTIN PARROTT.

Christmas Morn.

Christmas morn what shouts of pleasure
Usher in the dawning light
What rich stores of hidden treasure
Burst apon the raptured sight
All the air pulsates with gladness;
Christmas voices, full of glee,
Ring out joyful care and sadness
From each happy hearthstone flee
Earth with grateful exultatlon,
Greets this blest and followed day,
And throughout each Christian nation
Earnest men rejoice and pray
All what memories, solemn, tender.
Cluster around the Sayiours birth !
All what visions full of splendor
Lift our thoughts away from earth
Love and faith, serenely smiling,
Beckon us from distant skies,
Heavenward our souls begruling
Where the angels anthems rise
Hopes divine our pathway brighten.
Scatter clouds of sin and woo,
Every heavy burden tighten,
Sweet content and peace bestow.
Let us then. with merry voices,
Celebrate this blessed day
Nature too. with Us rejoices.
All the world is bright and gay;
And the angel choirs are singing
Far beyond our mortal KEN
While the Christmas chimes are ringing.
Peace on earth, goodwill to men"
