His leg was swelled more thanAwice it's natural size. He had doctors of high standing in their profession two from Boston and three from Charle stown-with- out getting bit better. He was obliged to lie whel- ever he was placed, for he had of his limbs whatever. When we had given up all hopes of his ing we were told to try vegetine, the great blood remedy: and he had laden it but short time before we could see great change. The sores run so bad that We had to change the cloths four or five times day. Still, he was geing better; for he could move his limbs and help himself little He sson able to sit in bed and by the constant use of Vegetine 1t has em ed him. He has a lame leg which he will probably have for life; but all honestly believe if We had used Yegetlne before we had bothe ed with those doctors it would have saved the use of his leg and restored 1t to natural health. | hope all those troubled with Scrofua will read this testimony of me and my son, who is now we'll and able to speak for himself seErEs. = :. s-
