MR.. H. R. STEVENS:
Dear Strive have good reason for regarding your
VEGETINE a medicine of the greatest value. We
feel assured that it has been the of saving
sons life. He is seventeen years of age; for the
last years he has suffered from necrosis of his
leg caused by scrofuous affection, and far
duced that nearly all who him thought his
covery impossible. council of able physicians
could give us the faintest hope of his rally
ing; two of The number declaring that he was beyond
the reach of human remedies, that even amputation

him VEGETINE and from that time to the present
he has been continually improving. He has lately
resumed studies thrown away his crutches and cane,
and walks about cheerfully and strong.
Though there is still some discharge from the OPEN
ing where his limb was anced, we have the fullest
confidence that in little time he will be perfectly
cured.
He has taken about three dozen bottles of VEGE-
TINE, but lately but little, he declares he is
too well to be taking medicine.

The business community and the book

with regret that the publishing house OF
Messrs. Lee & Shepard of Boston and
Messrs. Lee, Shepard & Dillingham; of New
York, has been obliged to suspend payment
The prosperity of the house received Il Sc
we're check ut the Boston fire, when their
loss WAS nearly 100000, which was fol
lowed soon afterward by a loss of half that
amount by the fire in Sudbury street. The
energy and enterprise of the members of
the firm were such that they resolved to
buckle down to retrieve their losses. Thej,
efforts have been untiring, and their hon
orable intentions were SO highly apprecia-
ted by their creditors that their credit suf
fered no check. But months of dull
business followed, and the firm has beer
obliged in Justice to themselves and the
creditors to suspend payment.

and failure will only strengthen theil
friends in the belief that industry has fol
once failed of its just reward. The suspen
sion it is hoped will prove but temporary.

CHINA.-China, since it WAS opened to

chants to the patronage Of the Chiuese,
from the days Of the Illicit opium traffic

closely competing in the China markets
to suit the sef-sutficiency of our transa;-
lantic friends. If jealousy of this de>crip
ton, however adroitly covered by various
pretences, leads to hostile complications,
the ultimate results will not benefit the
trade and commerce of Great Britain.
The United States have good reasons, by
the diplomotc fact and generally philan-
