Marvellous Effect.

Mr.. A. r. stevens: Dear Sir-I have used tn
gaeat Blood Remedy, VEGETIFE, and feel it a
duty to acknowledge the great benefit it has done
me. In the Spring of the yeaa 1862, was sick
from general debility caused by overwork, want
Of sleep and proper rest was very weak and
much emaciated. tried many remedies with
out receiving any benefit from any of them, un-
til was persuaded to try VEGETINE. Before
had taken this one week, my impoved condition
gave me renewed hope and courage. Icontinued
TO take 1t every day gaining more strength until
of this remedy, in case of general debility is in
deed marvellous.

This Sarsaparilla is a combination of
vegetable alteratives--Stillingia Man
drake, Y elbow Dock-with the Iodides
of Potassium and Iron, and Is the
most efficacious medicine yet known
for the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully
combined that the full Alternative
effect of each is assured, and while
it is SO mild as to be harmless even
TO children, it is still SO effectual as
to purge out from the system those
impurities and corruptions which
develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence
which prominent ysicians all over
the country repose in it proves their
experience of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues
have accumulated, and are con-
stantly being received, and rs many
of these cases are publicly known,
they furnish convincing evidence of
the superiority of this Sarsaparilla
over every other Alternative medicine.
So generally is its superiority to any
other medicine known that we need
do no more than to assure the public
that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.
