Dear Sir-It is as much from sense Of duty as of
gratitude that write to say that your VEGETINE-
if is patent medicne-has been of great help
to me when nothing else seemed to avail which

for the last two years he has suffered from necrosis
of his leg, sed by scrofulous affection, and was
so far reduced that nearly all Who saw him thought
his recovery impossible. A council of able phys-
