A Walking Miracle.

Mr.. II. r. Stevens:
DEAR SIR: Though stranger, want to inform
you what Vegetine has done for me.
Last Christmas Scrofula made Its appearance in
my system-largely running ulcers appearing on
me, as follows: One on each of my arms one on my
thigh, which extended to the seat: one on my head,
which eat into the skull bone: one on my left leg,
which became so bad that two physicians came to
amputate the limb, though upon consultation con-
cluded not to do my whole body was so full of
Scrofula; they deemed 1t advisable to cut the
which was painful beyond description, and there
was a quart of matter run from this one sore.
The physicians all gave me up to die and said they
could do no more for me. Both of my legs were
drawn to my seat and II was Thought If did get
up again would be cripple for life.
When In this condition saw Negctine advertised,
and commenced taking IL In March. and followed ON
with 1t untn had used sixteen bottles, and this
morning am going to plough corn, well man.
All my townsincn say 1t isa miracle to see me
around walking and working.
In conclusion, l. will add when was eaduring
Scrofna, prayed the Lord above to take me out of
blessings of health desire more than ever to live,
that may be of some service 70 my fellow-men,
and know of no better way to aid suffering human
with earnest hope that you will publish 1t, and
cation which may receive therefrom.

Judgment of the Public!

During the past five years the public have care
fully observed the wonderful cures accomplished
from the Of Scgetine. From its use many an
a cted sufferer has been restored to perfect health
after having expended small fortune In procuring
medical advice and obtaining poisonous mineral
medicines.
1t is now justly remarked by all classes OF people
that Vcgetne holds higher position In the estima-
and has won its great reputation and immense de-
mand from actual merit.
Its medical properties are Alternative, Tonic Sol
vent and Diuretlc There Is disease of the human
system for which the Vegetine cannot be used with
perfect safety, does not contain any metallic
poisonous compound. 1t Is composed exclusively
of barks roots and herbs II Is very pleasant to take
every child likes 1t. 1t is safe and reliable the
following evidence Will show:
