MIR. II. X. STENENS:-
DEAR SIR-Ths Is To show that my son
was taken sick in January, 1851, with
Scrniula, which came out In large sores
and ulcers on his leg and hip. His leg was
swe led more than twice It's natural size.
He had several doctors of high standing in
their professionalism from Boston and
three from CharleStown7 without getting u
bit better. He was Obliged 10 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 10 try
Vegetine, the great blood remedy and he
had taken IL but a short time before We
could see IA great change. The sores run so
bad that we had 10 cnHnge the cloths four
or five times day. Still he was getting
better; FOR he could move his limbs ami
help himself little. He was soon able To
sit up in ted, aud, by constant use of Negr-
tine, IL has cured him. lie has "A lame leg,
which he will. probably have for life: but
we all honestly believe II we had used
Negetine before we had bothered with
those doctors. IL would have saved the use
OF his leg. and restored II TO natural health:
hope oil those troubled with Scrofula
who is now well and able 10 speak for him.

insults and lampoons without regard to
deccncy, common sense or humanity.
Never has the morbIdly abusive taste of
the valentine maker arrived at such a
state Of almost perfect villainy as this
year. There is a beasty lot of brutality
plsstered over every comic illumina-

puts the power of insulting another into
the hands Of the poorest. The man who
sends personal valentine would write
an anonymous letter, and either act is
enough TO characterize him as being
