Abiiah Hill, a wealthy lumber merchant

him to practice to obtain his daily bread,

An eatinghouso keeper, who kept a
'rest-youraunt," as the French call cook
shop, and who prided himself on his
ability to get up the best dinners to be
had anywhere, wishing to give the public
the full benefit of his skill, perpetrated
the following sign: Try my dinners
they can't be beat" In an evil hour,
however, a wicked wag came along and
dextrously painted over the initial letter
of the last word The announcement
then was. "rry my dinners--they canit

VIII Cleanse ScrOfula from the
System.
HONEST OPINION.

Mr.. II. r. Stevens
DEAR SIR-This is to show that my son
was taken sick in January, 1864, with
Scrofula, which came out in large sores
and ulcers on his leg and hip. His leg
was swelled more than twice its natural
size. He had several doctors of high
standing in their profession-two from
Boston and three from Charlestown, with
out getting bit better. He was obliged
to lie wherever he was placed, for he had
no use of his limbs whatever. When we
had given up all hopes of his living we
were told to try Vegetine, the great blood
remedy; and he had taken it but short
time before we could see great change.
The sores run so bad that we had to
change the cloths four or five times a day. Still,
limbs and help himself q little. He was soon
able to sit up in bed, and by constant use of
Vegetine, it has cured him. He has a lame leg,
which he will probably have for life; but we all
honestly believe, If we had used Vegetine be-
fore we had bothered with those doctors, ii
would have saved the use of his leg, and restor-
ed it to natural health. / hope all those troub-
led with scrntula Wil! read this testimony of
me and my son, who is now yell and able TO
speak for himself. CATHERINE MAHONEX,
