II. Il. STEVENS: Dear Sir-I have been badly af-
ficted with Kidney Complaint for ten years; have
suffered great pain in my back, hips and side, with
great difficulty in passing urine which was often,
led with blood and excrucatng pain.
Ihave faithfully tried most of the popular remc-
dies recommended tor my complaint; have been
under the treatment Of some OF the most skiilful
physicians in Boston. all OF whom pronounced my
case incurable. This was my condition when was
advised 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 q valuable medicine and if l should
be afflicted again in the same way, would give

kidney Complaint.

Probably there is no complaint that aflicts the
human system, which is SO little understood at the
present time, as some Of the varied forms Of Kid
ney Complaints.
There is no disease which causes such acute pain
more alarming In its results than when the kid.
neys fail to secrete from the blood the uric acid,
and other poisonous substances, which the blood
accumulates in its circulation through the system.
If from any cause the kidneys fail to perform the
functions devolving upon them, the cuInulations
are taken up by the absorbents and the whole sys.
TEN thrown into state of disease, causing great
pain and suffering, and very often mme late death.
Hence the importance of keeping the kidneys and
blood in healthy condition, through which all the
impurities of the body must pass.

The essential differences between the
two methods are these 1. Tho school

Some of the advantages of the town sys-

school taxes become equal throughout the

In the cases growing out of the forty
seven thousand dollars treasury robbery,
the criminal court for the District OF
Columbia has decided the grand jury
which indicted "Sugg Fort" Butler, the
safe robbery conspirators, "Bill' King,
and the late Assistant District Attorney
Fisher, to be legal-and now we may hope
that justice will be dealt out to some of
these scoundrels. The whole question
turned upon the age of w. ID. Wise, a
member of the grand jury, the peculiar
law of the district making one over sixty
five years old incapable of grand jury
service, and petit jury found that Wise
would not be sixty-tive until June next
1t is difficult to understand the policy of
law which renders grand jury illegal if
one of its number, every other way quail
fled, happens to be sixty-five years old or
over, but we suppose it to be one of the

They have got down to wooden rails on
one road in Pennsylvania where little speed
is required. The experiment has proved
successful. The rails are of sugar maple,
seven inches by four inches in thickness,
and about twelve feet in length. The ties
are laid down in the ordinary way, notch
ed, and the fails let into them about four
inches. They are then keyed firmly with
wooden wedges driven on the sides. The
cost of laying these rails is $3.50 mile.
No iron spikes are required and the cost of
track-laying is about the same as in the
case of iron rail. The highest rate of
speed for locomotives to pass over such n
track with safety has been fixed at sixteen
miles an hour. 1t has been estimated that
wooden track will last ordinarily from
three to four years.
