r. II. STEVENS, ESQ.
Dear Sir-I have heard from very many sources of
the great success of VEGETINE in cases of Scrotula
Rheumatism, Kidney Complaint Catarrh, and other
diseases of kindred nature. make no hesitation in
saying that ka0U VEGETINE to be the most reliable
remedy for Catarrh and General Debility.
My wife has been troubled with Catarrh for many
years, and at times very badly. She has thoroughly
tried every supposed remedy that could hear of,
and with all this she has for several years been grad
ually growing and the discharge from the head
was excessive and very offensive.
She was in this condition when she commenced to
take VEGETINE; could see that she was improving
the second bottle. She continued taking the VEG
ETINE until she had used from twelve to fifteen bot
ties am now happy in informing you and the pub
lie f you choose to make it public that she is en-
tirely cured, and VEGETINE accomplished the cure
after nothing else would. Hence L feel justified in
saying that VEGETINE is the most reliable remedy
and would advise ali suffering humanity try it, fol
believe it to be good, honest, vegetable medicine
and shall not hesitate to recommend it. am, &c.
respectfully, L. 9. CARDELL,

SOME Philadelphia professors have been
examining Mr.. Edison's "new force' and
have come to the conclusion that the sparks
obtained from the induction coil indicate
form of electrical discharge in which the
direct and reverse currents so rapidly succeed
each other that there is no chance for polarity
to be shown, and hence the presence of cleo
tricity is not revealed by the usual tests. So
they look upon the "new force" as simply
new phase of electricity, which they hope
may be made of great service in telegraphy.

Perhaps there could be no more en-

times through which our people all
over the country are passing, than is
conveyed in the notes of religious
revivals and moral improvement which
the newspapers convey to us from so
many different sections.
In our own State the moral improve
ment in Sussir county, has prompted
friend Townsend, of the Sussex Journal,
to publish the paragraph which we here
reprint in the GAZETTE with especial plea
cure. 1t was. however, about three or
four years since that we published some
very complimentary remarks upon this
subject made by our able and venerable
Chief Justice, at the close of session
of court there at which there were only
about half dozen cases, the court only
lasting four or fves days. Itappears the
Improvement is still progressing. And
the rigid enforcement of our Civil Code
is doing good service. Under such cir
