GEORGE WASHINGTON.

George Washington was conspicuous
and beautiful instance of a man who
minded his own business. Suppose that
an intelligent person living in one of the
European centers of civilization had been
asked, about the year 1910, what man then
over thirty seven years of age was most
likely to be the typical great-and-good
man of the modern world Would he
have singled out the Virginia militia off.
ere, at the time busing himself with the
care OF his plantation on the Potomac,
and whatever social duties and delights,
or whatever polite politics were conven-
lent and appropriated The strong point
about Washington was, that the duty or
the pleasure. the ceremony or the self
sacrifice that lay in his way, he enjoyed
or performed without shirking. and to the
very best of his ability. He did not, as a
youth. lie awake O nights wondering
"what he would be when he grew up to
be man." When he became a man he
showed neither Imagination nor genius,
but he had one Of the traits of genius,
namely. concentration. He put his mind
upon his present occupation, without look
ing back or looking ahead. He engineer:
ed. fought the Indians, rode horseback.
wrote letters, went fox-hunting, attended
church, proposed to young women, con-
Quoted campaigns, and governed the Unit
ed States,-each at the proper time, and
each with sincerity of purpose and assid-
uity. We do not hear OF his swearing Of
ten; but when he did, it was thoroughly
and effectually done. If he seems not to
have been as successful in the matter of
matrimonial proposals as in other occupa-
tions, we must remember that the centen-
nially revived old wives tales of early
and indiscreet refusals of Washington by
the said old wives themselves, must be
taken with few grains of differential al
lowance.-7he Old Cabinet; Scri6ner for

THE GREAT REPUTATION
Which Vegetne has attained in all parts Of the
country as a
=
Great and Good Medicine,

and large number of testimonials which are con-
stanty being received IRON persons who have been
cured by its use, are conclusive proof OF its great
value. 1t is recommended by physicians and
apotheCaries. AS a Blood. Purifier and Health
estorer, it has no equal.
Negetine is not prepared for fancy drink made
from poor liquors. which debilitates the system and
tends to destroy health instead of restoring it.
Are not the many testimonials given for the diff
ferent complaints satisfactory to any reasonable
persons suffering from disease that they can be
cured! Read the different testimonials given, and
no one can doubt. In many of these cases the per-
say that their pain and suffering cannot be ex.
pressed, as in cases OF Scrofua where apparently
the whole body was one mass of corruption. If
Vegetne will relieve pain, cleanse purify and cure
such diseases, restoring the patient to perfect
health after trying different physicians many rem
edles suffering tor years, is it not conclusive proof
II you are suferor you can be curedI Why ls
this medicine performing such great cures? 1t
works in the blood, in the circulating iuid. IL can
be truly called the Great Blood Purifier. The
great source of disease originates in the blood and
no medicine that does not act directly upon it, to
purify and renovate, has any just claim upon pub
lie attention. When the blood becomes lieess and
want OF exercise, 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 tone OF vigor to the whole
body. The conviction is. in the public mind as well
as in the medical profession, that the remedies sup
piled by the Vegetable Kingdom are more safe
more successful, in the cure of disease, than miner
al medicines. Negetne is composed OF roots, barks
and herbs. 1t is pleasant to take and is perfectly
safe to give an infant. Do you need it /? DO not
hesitate to try it. You will never regretit.
