RELIABLE EVIDENCE.

Mr.. ii. r. STEVENS:
Dear Sir-I will most cheerfully
yield my testimony to the great number
You have already received in favor of
your great and good medicine, VEGE-
TINE, for do not think enough can be
said in its praise, for was troubled over
thirty years with that dreadful disease,
Catarrh, and had such bad coughing
spells that it would seem as though L
could never breathe any more, and
VEGEr.NE has cured me; and | do feel
to thank God all the time that there is
so good a medicine as VEaErINE, and
also think it one of the best medicines
for coughs and weak sinking feelings at
the stomach, and advise everybody to
take the VEGErINE, for 1 can assure
them it is one of the best medicines that
ever was. MRS. L. GORE,

ALL Diseases Of the Blood.

If VEGErINE will relieve pain, cleanse,
purify and cure such diseases, restoring
the patient to perfect health after trying
different physicians, many remedies,
suffering for years, is it not conclusive
proof, if you are a sufferer, you can be
cured? Why is this medicine perform
ing such great cures? 1t works in the
blood, in the circulating fluid. 1t can
truly be 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 rem
ovate, has any just claim upon public at
tention.

How a Detroit Family Cele-
brated the Centennial Fourth.
From the Detroit Free Press.

IET0m the O6IIOib 4 EASO AOoo'J
Detroit celebrated-you bet your
bouse and lot she did! AS a speci
men of how she celebrated, take for
instance, the Hamerlin family.
Early in the morning the old gent fell
from a second story window while
putting out flag, broke three aowe
bots and rib, and lemonade, doc
tors, brandy, sky rockets, and the
Declaration of Independence were all
tangled up around his house all day.
Even his wife fell down the back
stairs while hurrying to caution
Johnny not to shoot crackers IN the
oven. She didn't break any bones,
but she couldn't holler for liberty
half as much as she wanted to. The
how John held one fire-craeker in
his mouth, while he shot off another
on the hitching post. Owing to some
Misunderstanding, the two went of
together, and then John went off.
He didn't say much with his mouth
the rest of the day. A younger son
fooled around some loose powder in
the morning, went out to cool his
blisters in the afternoon, and was
brought home to supper with hole
in his leg. Mr.. Hamerlin's grown
up daughter didn't meet with any
accident of much account. Some one
hit her in the ear with torpedo, and
a strange boy fired shot so close tc
her other ear that when any one now
addresses her she puts her hands uT
and remarks:
"Hey? What ju say? Speak 8
little louder if you please" ;"
1t won't be a month before the
Hamerlin family will be as good as
new, and as he yesterday remarked
"Why, it's worth $4,000 TO leave
q patriotic record to posterity."

Dear Sir-I have had dyspepsia in its

Fl. r. STEVENS, Esq.,:
Dear Sir-I have had considerable eX-
perience with the VEGETINE. For dys-
pepsia, general debility and impure
blood, the Vegetine is superior to any
thing which have ever used. 1 COM
menced taking VEGETINE about the mid
die of last winter, and, after using a
few bottles, it entirely cured me of dys-
pepsia, and my blood never was in so
good condition as ut the present time.
1t will afford me pleasure to give any
further particulars relative to what
know about this good medicine to any
one who will call or address me at my

The St. Louis republican mentions
some of the troubles that will follow the
new money: When man walks much
the inside of his legs will be chated
raw. When less than a dollar is to go
by mail it will have to be converted in
to postage stamps. When you run for
a street car, money will fly out Of your
pocket at every jump. When you tell
your wife that you have no money she
will say you lie, for she heard it jingle.
1t will be difficult to pay man a quar~
ter for half.--When you are in a
hurry, the storekeeper will have to
weigh the coin in his hand and sound
it twenty-five times on the counter be
fore he can determine whether it is
good. The baby will swallow a dime
a day. A boy with quarter will lose
it in a crack in two minutes, from
which no amount of coaxing with forks
and chips can recover it. Sleepy men
will put buttons and lozenges into
contribution boxes, as Of yore."
