The Rest Evidence.

The following letter from Rev. L. S. BEST pas
tor NJ. K. church.. Natck, Mass, will be read with
interest by many physicians. Also those uferin2

Vegetinej
NATICK Mass Jan. l, 1874.
MR.. II. R. STEVENS:
Dear Strive have good reason for regarding
your Vegetine a medicine of the greatest value
We feel assured that it has bsen the means OF saw
ing our sons life. He is now seventeen years o
age for the last two years he has suffered from ne
crosis of his leg, caused by scroiulous affection
and was TAR reduced that nearly all who saw hin
thought his recovery impossible. A council OF able
physicians could give Us but the faintest nope oil
his ever rallying of the numher declaring that
he was beyond the reach of human remedies, that
even amputation could not save him, as he had
not vigor enough to endure the operation Just then
we commenced giving him Vegetine, and IRON that
time to the present he has been continuously ln'
proving. lie has lately resumed his studies,
thrown away crutches and cane, and walks about
cheerfuy and strong.
Though there is still some discharge from the
opening where the limb was lanced, we have the
fullest confidence that in little time he will be
perfectly cured.
He has taken about three dozen bottles OF Nege.
tine but lately uses but little, as he declares that
he is too well TO be taking dicine.
Respectfully yours.

1HEHJGBgsr MOUNTAIN IN THE WORLD

r.r many wears past Mount Everest, in
that norton of the great Himalaya range
which occupies the western part OF the
strange kingdom of Nepaul, Immediately
north of India, has been regarded as the
h;ohest mountain in the world. 1t Is
known to the Nepaulese as Gaurisankar,
but the English name it Everest, in honor
of a distinguished officer of the British
Indian geographical survey. Its snow
canned summit is 20,002 feet, nearly flve
miles and half above the level OF the sea.
of course no one has ever assembled it to
this height. but its altitude, like that OF the
other lofty peaks OF the Himalaya, was
ascertained by triangulation and until
the present time it has not been supposed
that any higher land existed on the earth
If the news be true, however. which has
lately come to US from the more distant
east, there is loftier peak than Mt. Ever
est in the great island of Papua OF New
Guinea. This vast region, extensive
enough to form six States as large as New
York, is as yet almost wholly unexplored.
except along the coasts. Lying close to
the equator, where the Indian ocean and
the Pacific meet, it is the home OF the
cassowary and the bird of paradise. a
country grand in its scenery, rich IN ITS
vegetation, and Astounding in curious and
beautiful forms of animal life; the verita-
BILE wonderland of the globe. An attempt
to explore the unknown interior of the
island was made from Torres strait, which
separate it from Australia, by Capt. j. A.
Lawson, in the year 1872; and if we may
believe his published narrative OF the
Journey, which has just appeared in Lon
don, he advanced several hundred miles
inland, and about midway between the
north and the south coast discovered a
mountain 80. 7S3 feet high, which he named
Mt. Hercules.
The height of this mountain-over six
miles-is not the only remarkable thing
about it. Its apparent elevation is but
little less than its actual elevation for
instead of rising from lofty table land
like the plateau of Central Asia, it stands
in a comparatively low plain only about
two thousand feet above the level OF the
ocean, and this gives clear rise OF more
than $4,000 feet above the surrounding
country. The traveller standing at its
base could look up and see its snowy peak
towering 80 600 feet skyward from where
he stood. Under such circumstances the
altitude of mountain is appreciated.

Three Points for Consideration.

During the past five years the VEGET1NE has
been steadily working itself into puzzle favor and
those who at first most incredulons In regard
to It's merits arc now It's most afueht riep"S ana
There are three essential causes for those having
such horror OF patent medicines, changing their
opinion and lending their influence towards the adj
yancement of VEGETINE. lst-lt is an honestly
prepared medicine from barks, roots and herbs.
2d-H honestly accomplishes all that is Claimed Tor
it, without leaving any bad effects in The system.
Sd 1t presents honest vouchers i'll testimonials
from honest wellknown citizens, whose signatures
are sufficient guarantee Of their earnestness IN the
matter. Taking into consideration the vast guam
ty OF medicine brought cOnspicuously before the
public through the flaming advertisements IN the
new spaper columns, with no proof oil merit or gem
uine vouchers of what it has done, we should be
pardoned Tor manifestng small degree OF pride IN
presenting the following testimonial from Kew j..
