VEGE Tine.

The following letter from Rev. G. W. Mans
field, formerly pastor Of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church, Hyde Park, and at present settled
in Lowell, must convince every one who reads
his letter Of the wonderful curative qualities
OF Vegetine as. thorough cleanser and puri-
her Of the blood:
HYDE PARK, Mass, Feb Is, 1876.
MIR. II. r. STEvENs-Dear Sir: About ten
years ago my health failed througl the de-
pleting effects of dyspepsia; nearly year
later was attacked by typhoid fever, in it's
worst form; it settled IN my back and took tie
form OF large deep-Seated abscess, which
was fifteen months in gathering. had two
surgical operations by the best skill in the
STATE. but received no permanent cure 1 suf-
fered great pain at times, and was constant y
weakened by profuse discharge. also lost
small pieces OF bone at different times.
Matters ran on thus about seven years. till
May, 1874, when a friend recommended me to-
go to your Office and talk to you about the
virtue OF Vegetlne
By what saw and heard gained some con-
fldence in Vegetine.
l commenced taking it soon after, but felt
worse from its effects; but still l persevered
and soon felt it wa, benehting me in other re-
speCts. Yet did not see the results | desired,
TIL had taken it faithfully for little more
than year, when the difficulty in the back
was cured, and for nine months have enjoyed
the best Of health.
Ihave in that time gained twenty five pounds
in flesh. being heavier than ever before in my
life. and never was more able to perform Ia
Dor than now. During the past few weeks
had scrofulOus swelling as large as my fist
gather on another part Of my body. l took
Vegetine faithfully and it removed it level
with the surface in q month. 1 think should
have been cnreI OF my main trouble sooner if
hau taken larger doses, after having become
accustomed To It's effects.
Let your patrons troubled with scrofula or
kidney disease understand that it takes time
to cure chrome diseases, aud II they Will pa
tIcnty take Vegeslne, 1t Will, in my judgment,
cure them.
With great obligations am, yours very truly,

their opinions of man that can't out

Mr.. II. r. STEVENS: In 1872 your Vegetne
was recommended to me, and yielding to the
persuasions of frieni, L consented'to try it.
AT the time L was suffering from general de-
bility and nervous prostration, supernduced
by overwork and irregular habits. Its Won
derful gthenng and curative properties
seemed to affect my debIltated system from
the first dose, and under its persistent use
rapidly recovered, gaining more than usual
health and good feeling. Since then / have
not hesitated to give Vegetine my. most un-
qualified indors ment as being a safe, sure
and powerful agent in promoting health and
restoring the wasted system to new life and
energy. Vegetine Is the only medicine l use,
and as long US live never expect to find a
better. Yours truly,

Old People Getting Married.

From the Memphis Appeal
If the decrepit old couple had
come in to leave their measures
for their coffins it would not have
seemed so strange, but they were
there instead to be married. The
old man counted his years by
scores, and ran them up to four
score and five, while the old woman
beside him was scarce ten years
his junior. The bridegroom bore
himself with dignity the bride,
in quiet modesty, leaned upon
his arm. His old black head was
bald to the centre, and around
the shining ebony fringe Of
snowy wool clustered. Under
the heavy chin another fringe of
white stood guard over his tall
collar. He stood erect and grave.
1t was a picture of the old re-
gime.

married, sah," he said.

Temperance.

The Marksville Temperance As
sociation is in a thriving condi-
ton. Each week new members
are initiated this is as it should
be, for the cause is worthy, noble
and good. Experience teaches us
that the use of alcohol is Of no
benefit to any one, on the contra
ry, it's ase is injurious in every
shape, manner aud form. It is
injurious 10 health, it is injurious
to the mind, it is injurious to bust
ness and in fact injurious in every
conceivable way. We therefore
would urge on all to avoid its use
entirely--in fact, if one wishes to
prosper, it's use must be discoun-
tenanced in toto. By it's use, one
is rendered unable to perform the
duties that may be assigned him
in the various walks of life. 1t is
hardly necessary for us to particu-
larize on this matter, suffice it to
say, that those who may have been
addicted to its immoderate use
will bear us out in triumph in our
remarks.
We now desire to address our
selves to our friends, who indulge
in the tempting cup, in the fond
hope that it contributes to their
enjoyment, to their health and to
their pleasure, to pause, to reflect,
and to turn back ere it is too too
late. We would invite them all to
abstain from its accursed use. We
know 1t il but natural, when they
are first approsched on the sub
ect of total abstinance, that they |
will say, it is of no use tor them to
become members of any Tempe
rance society, from the fact that
hey will resolve in themselves to
abstain in future. Fatal delnsion |;
or hardly will those resolutions be

lrop in and call for drinks and in
