rwenty-seven Years Ago.

II. X. Stevens, Esq: Dear Sir-This is TO GER
tify that my daughter was taken sick when she
was three years old, and got so low that We were
obliged TO keep her on pillow, without moving,
TO keep the little thing together. She was at
tended by several physicians the regular at
tending one being old DR.. John Stevens. They
all pronounced her case incurable. She had
been sick about a year, when hearing OF the great
Blood Remedy, NEGETINE, | commenced giving
her that, and continued IL regularly till she was
about seven years old, when she was pronounced
perfectly cured. During her sickness three
pieces Of bone were taken from her right arm
above the elbow, one Of them being very long
Several small pieces were also taken from her
left leg. She is now twenty-seven years old, and
is enjoying good health. and has ever since she
was seven years old, with No signs Of ScrOfua
or any other blood disease. Her arm is a little
crooked, but she can use IL almost as well as the
other. Her legs are o. equal length and she is
not in the least lame. Her case ScrOfua,
inherited in the blood; and / would recommend
blood disease, If they wish 10 have n perfect
cure, TO try NEGETINE, the reliable blood rem
edy, which does not weaken the system like
many other preparations recommended, but, on
the contrary, it is nourishing and strengthening.
My daughters case will fully testify this, for
never saw nor heard OF a worse form of Scrofula.

1 woaO OF WARNING.

There are now confined in the peni-
Tertiary at Laramie City eighty-three
felons, for all kinds of crime. Among
them are at least twenty of the most
desperate beings imaginable, who are
in for long terms, and who would think
no more of taking life in an effort to es-
cape than of killing a mosquito. With
Bill Bevans, Duncan Blackburn and
FOnce Rines to plan and lead the at
tack, and nearly two dozen guilty,
determined felons at their back, a
wholesale escapade may well be appre-
hended ut any moment, and when it
occurs the lives Of good men will be
sacrificed.
Let us not be understood as limiting
that the u. S. marshal, the warden and
the guards are not as vigilant as men
can be. We only desire to avert, if by our
warning it can be averted, the occur
renee Of the dread event. and the sick
ening tragedy which would accompany
it. We have great confidence in the
warden and in his faithful assistant,
Joe Fisher, but we fear for their safety
daily and hourly, and adjure them, by
all that they hold sacred, to be cease
less in watchfulness, for eternal vigi-
lance. with them, is the price of life.
