H.R, Stevens, ESQ: Dear Sir-This is TO GER
tify that my daughter was taken sick when she
was three years old, aud got so low that we were
obliged 10 keep her on pillow, without moving,
10 keep the little thing together. She was at
tended by several physicians - the regular at
tending one being old Dr. John Stevens. They
ali pronounced her case incuTable. She had
been sick about year. when hearing Of the great
Blood Remedy, VEGETINE, commenced giving
her that, and continued II 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 Scroiula
or any other blood disease. Her arm is litlle
crooked, but she eau use it almost as we'll as the
other. Her legs are Of equal length, and she IS
not In the least lame. Her case was Scroiula,
inherited In the blood; and would recommend
all those having ScrOlula Hum0r or any other
blood disease, II they wish TO have perfect
cure, to try YEGETINE, the reliable blood rem
edy, which does not weaken the system ike
many other preparations recommended, but, on
tho contrary. il Il nourishing and strengthening.
MY daughters case will fully testify this, for
never saw nor heard Of a worse form OF Scr0tula.

road, at a small place called Leesville.
lives Alexander Bender, well-to-do
farmer. A few days ago he started for
Romeo on business, leaving his wife and
a servant girl in charge of the, house.
About four o'clock Mrs. Bender visited
pasture lot near the barn to drive the
cattle under shelter, and discovered one
of the COWS lying in one corner of the
lot, while near her was lying a newly
born calf. As the day was quite cold
Mrs. Bender's pity was aroused, and call
ing the servant girl proposed that
together they should carry the calf into
the barn.
During the conversation the cow re-
mained perfectly quiet, but when Mrs.
Bender made q motion to lift the calf,
the cow, with a spring and rush,
caught the lady upon her horns and
threw her into the air. The servant girl
fed, screaming, to distant part of the
field, and her shouts, with the cries of
terror from Mrs. Bender, seemed to goad
the infuriated cow, as she again and
again tossed the woman into the air until
the latter fell insensible to the ground.
The cow then began to roll the body of
the inanimate woman over and over in
the mud, and finally lowered her horns,
rushed at the woman, and with tre-
mendous use of strength lifted her from
the ground and threw her completely
over fence that is fully five feet high.
Separated from her prey the COW re.
turned to her calf and Mrs. Bender's life
was saved.
The frightened servant girl aroused
the neighbors and messenger was sent
for DR.. Kaiser, and when Mrs. Bender
was examined it was found that one Of
her legs was broken just above the knee
both legs were badly bruised, her body
was covered with bruises and slight cuts
while there was one horrible wound
about six inches in length, from the toE
of the right him joint around nearly tt
the pit of the stomach.

Murad's captivity is shared by per
son to whose romantic history it would
be difficult to find parallel. When
Murad was still prince it was related
that he was having young and hand
some Circassian, named Blanche, edu-
Gated quite as European, with his
physicians children, and destined for his
harem. This was thought a caprice of
the enlightened Oriental. Hardly, how
ever, had Murad succeeded to the throne
than it was learned that Blanche was his
daughter, European being probably
her mother. During a few weeks OF
splendor, Blanche was loadedIwith all the
luxury fathers lavish tenderness could
devise. Her two splendid rooms in
Dolmabagtche had just been furnished
at the cost of eighty thousand franc:
when Murad was deposed. Her family
accompanied him first to Cheraghan and
now to Topkapon and no member of il
can feel the sudden change more acutely
than the young girl, whose range o.
ideas and sensibilities must, through hel
education; have become quite extended
