H. r. STEVENS, Esq:
Dear Sir When about six months old was vac
cinated. The parties who where vaccinated from
the same virus died from the humor. The humor
spread over me to such an extent that was rolled
in bran to prevent me from scratching my person.
The disease finally settled in my head. 1 remained
in this condition about twenty years, troubled all
the time with sores breaking in my head and dis
charging corruption from my car. At this time a
small kernel appeared on my neck gradually in
creasing in size until tumor formed of such i'm
mense size lc0uld see it by turning my eyes down.
ward. All this time was taking various remedies
~for my blood wit hout amy substantial benefit
who during his treatment of six months, ianced
tumor eight times, which cost nearly $500. This
left me with rough aggravated sore without at all
diminishing the size of the tumor, and in sckly,
feeble condition L consulted another physician in
Natick, who after considerable time, succeeded in
healing the sore without reducing the size. At this
point l commenced to use VEGETINE, through the
earnest persuasion of friend. After l had taken
this medicine about one week experienced wonder
full sensations. My whole body seemed to be under
going radical change, until finally, the tumor broke
and discharged hightful quantities. From this time
my neck still bears the ugly scars of the sore and
lance. am now healthy and strong and able to
work every day.

ferer from inf1ammatory rheumatism since can
remember, until commencing the use OF VEGETINE,
when almost immediately all rheumatic pains ceased

fitting other suffering humanity, and you will confer
favor by giving it as much publicity as thought
proper. Very gratefully,

The Medicine that Cures
vEGETINE.

Taking into consideration the character of its
vouchers, the history of its cures and the immense
Increasing demand, VEGErINE may be fairly en-
titled the leading medicine of the age.
For scrotula in the blood, VEGETINE is an in
tallible remedy, and no person need suffer from
humors ulcers, and all diseases arising from impure
blood, VEGETINE is used according to directions.
VEGFTINE will not cure, provided, however, the
vital functions have not lost their power of action
all that may be said to the contrary notwithstanding
VEGETINE is pleasant to the taste, mild in its in
uence and absolute in its action on disease as the
following unquestionable evidence will show,

In Ill2 it was the seat Of Count
Keilmansegge, who was one of the
gayest officers of the Saxon court.
He had beautiful bride of sixteen,
who, during the period when Ma
poleon had his headquarters at Dres-
den, was fascinated bv the EN-
peror, and became his mistress.
Count Kielmansegge, on learning
that she had proved false to her
marriage vows, hurried her from
court to the seclusion of the chat
eau. Some time afterwards he
died from poison, which she was
proved TO have administered. She
was sentenced to death, but Napo.

out on the main track. Int a mo-
ment or so afterward the Phlladel-
phia Express came along dashed in
to the car at the rate of about
twenty miles an hour. The truck
car acted as a plow and pushed
along 10y the locomotive tore up the
tracks for distance of twenty
yards or more. The passengers re-
ceived a slight Shaking up but
were not hurt. The fireman jumped
when he saw the collision was una
voidable, and sustained severe
bruises, and breakman bad his
hand smashed by a car door being
thrown against it. The engineer
remained at his post of duty and
escaped unscathed The truck
car was demolished and the loco
motive badly damaged.
George Adams, the Young man
who pretended to have prevented
a railroad disaster at Eastport, N.
Y, has Econfessed that he placed
the distractions on the track, in
tending to stop the train in time,
and thus get a situation; and that
he threw off a train on the Lake
Shore: e::Railroad,b which a conduc-
tor was killed and much property
was destroyed. 1t is stated that
the actual motive was revenge. Ad-
ans having been discharged from
the Lake Shore Road.
Many supposed accidents, fortu-
nately without serious results,
which have occurred in various
parts of the country, are now
thought to have been the work of
organized gangs of train robbers,
and the Erie and other roads are
employing special policemen to
guard their tracks.
