THE GREAT REPUTATION.
Which vegetine has attained in all parts OF the
country as a
Great and Good Medicine,

and the large number of testimonials which are
have been cured by its use, are conclusive
proof of its great value. 1t is recommended by
physicians and apothecaries. As Blood-Puri-
fer and th-Restorer, it has no equal.
Vegetine is not prepared for a fancy drink
made from poor liquors, which debilitates the
system and tends to destroy health instead of
restoring 1T.
Are not the many testimonials given for the
different complains satisfactory to any unrea-
SOnable persons suffering from disease that can
given, and no one can doubt. In many of these
cases the persons say that their pain and suffer
ing cannot be expressed, as In cases of ScrOfula,
where, apparently, the whole body was one
mass of corruption. If Vegetine will relieve
pain, cleanse, purify and cure such diseases,
ing different physicians many remedies, suf-
fering for years, is 1t not conclusive proof If
you are a sufferer, you can be cured? Why is
this medicine performing such great cures?
1t works in the blood, in the circulating fluid.
1t can be truly called the Great Blood Purifier.
blood and no medicine that does not act d.
rectly upon it, to purify and renovate, has any
Just claim upon public attention. When the
blood becomes Hfeless and stagnant, either
fIom change of weather or climate, want of ex-
ercise, irregular diet, or from any other cause,
the Vegetine will renew the blood, carry off the
putrid humors, cleanse the stomach, regulate
the bowels and impart a tone of vigor to the
whole body. The conviction is, in the public
mind well as in the medical profession. that
the remedies supplied by the Vegetable King
dom are more safe, more successful, in the cure
of disease, than mineral medicines. Vegetine
is imposed of roots, barks and herbs. 1t is
pleasant to take, and is perfectly safe to give an
infant. DO you need it7 Do not hesitate to
try it. You will never regret 1t.

John Todd's Reformation.

1t not unfrequently happens that when
prayers and entreaties and shame and
suffering and degradation have failed to
check a man in his down-hill course,
some incident seemingly changes the
whole current of his life. l have such
an incident in my mind. You may know
my hero as John Todd. A few yet living
will know him by another name.
John Todd sank very low. Once he
had been gay, handsome and happy.
When he made Mary Somers his wife,
there was not young man in our village
whose prospects seemed brighter. But
the demon of drink seized him. 1t was a
gradual growing of appetites, and grad
ual going down. Wife and children were
neglected; the low and debased were his
chosen companions, and poverty, and
want fell upon his once happy house
hold.
For months and years his friends tried
to save John Todd. They expostulated
they prayed, they begged, they reasoned,
but all to no avail, and at length gave
it up.
One. night, quivering and shaking

with not penny in his pocket, John
Todd entered his dilapidated home and
asked his wife for liquor. She said there
was not drop in the house. He cursed
her savagely and then commenced his
search, protesting to believe that she had
liquor hidden away somewhere. AT
length, away back on one of the shelves
of small locker over the fireplace, he
found bottle the contents of which
smelled like rum. AS he raised it to his
lips, his wife who had been watching him,
sprang forward and dashed the bottle
from his hand, shivering it upon the
hearth
With fierce oath, John Todd smote
his wife to the floor, supine upon the
broken glass, and then staggered away
to his bed. He would not go out again,
for he had no money. On the following
morning his eldest child, a girl of twelve
years came to his bedside.

his pillow, and did not get up until noon.
When he arose he was very weak and
tremulous He dressed himself and went
out into the kitchen, where he saw his
wife standing by the fireplace with
napkin bound around her head. He went
to her side, and laid his hand upon her
shoulder. She turned and looked into
his face, but did not speak. lie only
kissed her and then went out
Only kissed her? What did it mean
Mary Todd caught her hands over her
heart to crush back the sudden, surging
hope 1t was madness to hope now. And
yet, with the impress of the kiss upon
her cheek, and with the memory of the
look that accompanied it, she sank upon
her knees and wept and prayed.
John Todd went into the woods where
he wandered until nightfall, and with the
last cleaning of the setting sun he was
upon his knees, his palsied hands rev.
erently folded, speaking VOW to heaven
that his home should be once more
happy if he could make it SO.
Out of the darkness of desolation, even
in the midst of ruin comes the angel Of
hope and promise to the stricken home.
Mary heard and saw and took heart, and
gave her smile and blessing to the work.
That was twenty years ago. John Todd
has kept the faith from that day to this.
He is beloved, respected and honored
wherever he is known, and happier
woman than his wife is not to be found.

they were not prepared to swallow it,

THECAPlTOL BUILDING.

The City Council at their session on
Tuesday night, directed their committee
to rent the Lindsey Institute and put it
in proper repair, for the temporary ac-
commodation of the State officers. 1t is
further understood to be the duty of the
committee to look up proper site upon
which to erect large and elegant
building for the more permanent accom-
mediation of the business of the State
and of the Legislature.
Tho people Of the city are gratifed to
see the members of Council 50 fully alive
to our common interests and to the good
name of the city, SO deeply involved in
this movement, as they show themselves

Of the law permitting packages weighing
