H. R. Stevens, Esq: Dear Sir-May ask the
favor Of you to make my case public?
In 1861, while on picket duty in the army, I
was taken with fit. which lasted all night.
Was taken into camp and dosed with whiskey
and quinine. After this had fits every day, and
treated BY the attending physicians, I grew
health for four years, treating with many physi-
clans and trying many remedies. Finally Scrof-
ula made its appearance on different parts of
my body, and my head was SO diseased as to be
frightful to look at. and painful beyond endur-
ance. After trying the most eminent physicians,
without improvement, change of climate was

which had not enjoyed before for ten years.
Hundreds of people in the city of Boston can
vouch for the above facts.
..VEGETINE has saved my life, and you are at
liberty to make such use of this statement as
pleases you BEST and beg of you to make it
known that other sufferers may find relief with
less trouble and expense than did.
It will afford me great pleasure to show the

Twenty-s Seven Years Ago.

II. R. 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 a 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 year, when hearing of the great
Blood Remedy, VEGETINE, commenced giving
her that, and continued it 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 Scrofula
or any other blood disease. Her arm is little
crooked, but she can use it almost as well as the
other. Her legs are of equal length, and she is
not in the least lame. Her case was Scrofula,
inherited in the blood; and would recommend
all those having ScrOfula Humor or any other
blood disease, if they wish to have perfect
cure, to try VEGETINE, the reliable blood REM
edy, which does not weaken the system like
many other preparations recommended, but, on
the contrary 1t is nourishing and strengthening.
My daughters case will fully testify this, for 1
never saw nor heard of q worse form of Scrofula.
