Twentv.s Seven Years AGO.

H.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 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

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
was seven years old, with no signs of Scrofula
or any other blood disease. Her arm is little
crooked, but she can use 1t 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, it is nourishing and strengthening.
My daughters case will fully testify this, for
never saw nor heard Of worse form of Scrofula.

FATAL PERIODS OF THE DAY.

FATAL PERIODS OF THE DAY
From certain statistical tables that
have been drawn up, it would appear
that some hours are more fatal TO
life than others. The following are
drawn up from the hour of death in
1850 Instances, of all ages, in a
mixed population in every respect,
the deaths occurring during a period
of several years: If the deaths of
1850 persons had occurred indiffer.
emily at any hour during the twenty.
four, 12O would have occurred at
each hour. But this was by no
means the case. There are two
hours in which the proportion was
Enthusiastically below this-namely,
from midnight to l o'clock, when
the deaths were 80 per cent. below
the average, and from noon to |
o'clock, when they were 81 per cent.
below the average. The greatest
number OF deaths occur from 5 to 6
a. M, when the excess is 40 per cent;
another hour of excess is that from
3 to 10 o'clock in the morning, being
l74 per cent. above. From 10 a. m.
to 3 p. N. the deaths are less numer-
ous.- Exchange.

Satisfy, or Vegetable Oyster.

We are surprised that this useful
and delicately favored vegetable is
not more generally grown. Com
paratively few know anything about
it and take it for granted that it is
not worth much, and that time and
ground would be wasted on it. But
in reality it is one of the most de.
lightful Of our Autumn and winter
vegetables; is as easily grown as the
parsnip, and keeps as we'll through
the Winter. 1t gives a variety when
the list of vegetables is small. All
who are fond of fried oysters should
certainly try it. They will be sur.
prised to find how much of oyster
taste it furnished.
Only the root of the plant is eaten,
and to prevent the roots from grow
ing TO ked, as they are apt to do,
the manure must be buried very
deep. The best way is to open a
trench eighteen inches deep, place
the manure at the bottom, return
the soil, and SOW the seeds in a drill
a little over an inch deep, 80 as to
tempt the roots to run straight
down to it. The drills maybe one
foot a part, and when the plants are
two or three inches high they
should be thinned out so as to leave
six inches between each plant,
Sow the seed early in the Spring
and the roots will be ready for use
in October and continue good
through the Winter and early
Spring. By covering the ground
a little, before frost, they can be
kept and dug whenever wanted. It
is well, however to take up a portion
before hard frost, and house them
as you would carrots or parsnips.
There are several ways of cooking
satisfy. 1t may be simply boiled,
then sliced with a plentiful dressing
OF butter, pepper and salt. But it
most resembles the oyster in taste
when half boiled; then grated fine.
and made into small, fat balls,
which are dipped in egg and fried
