CHARIEsTowN, MASS, March IS 1869
Mr.. Y. X. STEVENS:
Dear Sir The following il statement OF my
experience with the great Blood Remedy, VEGE-
TINE. | have been keeping boarding house here
for many year,, and have had the misfortune to
have great deal of sickness in my family In
one case in particular noticed the wonderful ef-
feet OF NEGETINE.
About the year 1877, young man then sixteen
years old, who a distan relative Of mine,
came home from sea. He had injured his left leg
on board the ship some months before and when
the ship came into this port he came 10 my house,
being feeble that he could not 90 to his home in
Lowell. His leg was swollen above the knee more
than twice It's natural size. and he was Obliged to
drag il along after him, having 10 Use OF II what
ever. The effect of this hid reduced him to a
mere skeleton. His father came down, and en-
ployed DR.. George Hayward of Boston to attend
bin, who then occupied prominent position in
the Massachusetts General Hospital. lie pro
nounced it bad case Of Necrosis: said he must
be removed to the hospital, have his leg opened
and the bone bored to allow the discharge of mat
ter there collected; otherwise the leg must be am
pntated.
Not thinking it advisable to pursue this course,
and having used VEGETGNE the great Blood Rem
edy, in the past with 30 good effect. concluded TO
try II in this case. After taking it regularly for
six weeks, his leg was but little swollen, and his
general health so much improved that he did not
look like the same pers on. At the end OF five
months he went home to Lowell perfectly cured.
He remained in Lowell until the commencement
Of the war; then joined the army and was pro-
nounced sound and well man.
The above is but one case out q many where |
have seen this Blood Remedy used with unparal-
lcled success. | have taken it myself for twenty
years more or less, for Dyspepsia and General De-
blity. and ii always appeared to give me new lie
and yigor
One lady boarder was completely cured from
Canker Humor, after she had suffered for years,
and tried almost everything else without recsiying
any benefit. Another lady was cured from Liver
Complaint, which was bad case, and so consid-
cred by the many physicians who had attended her
from time 10 time.
have known its use by other boarders for Rheu-
matism with extraordinary good effect.
a lady took IL for Consumption Of the Bowels,
and found more relief than in anything else she
She could procure.
! do not want to over-estimate its usefulness;
but do want those suffering from sickness to
know what this good medicine has done and is
still doing, for | know what II l. to be imposed
upon when sick and hink 1t Is wrong for any
one TO over-e>tlnate a remedy at the expense OF
the he pess sick; aud l. for one viii not do II un

Boys Who Stay on the Farm.

There is great deal said about the
best talent leaving the farm for other
vocatlons, thus making a constant
drain upon the material that would
make the highest success of farm life.
We doubt this, and believe that the
boys who are delighted with farm life
are the ones that take it for a pursuit,
while the boys who leave for the pro-
fessions, or other branches, do so from
choice, and, if compelled to be farm
ers, would fill their lives with drudg-
cry and be unsuccessful in the end.
This much can be said to the boys
who stay upon the farm: Farm life is
what you make it. If it is your de-
light to get knowledge and employ
talent in your business, here is a good
chance for it; but if you look upon
the routine of work as drudgery that
must be undergone to bring bread and
clothes, it were far better that you
chose some other business that would
not present to you this feature of
drudgery.
The Practical Farmer makes good
hit in this connection:
But 10 come Ddck 10 = keeping boys
on the farm" If boy can do better
in other business, why not let him?
Many of them do succeed better in
business life. Why, half the business
and professional men of this city were
farmers boys, and they are the most
successful men we have. Their early
education in regular habits. economy,
atn oil
for success in other paths of life.
Those who like farming stay on the
farm, and enough of them like it to
keep the farms well occupied. 1t is
an insult to all farmers to say that the
dullest boys only remain on the farm.
1t is quite often the other way, as any
one will acknowledge who carefully
notes, among his acquaintance, who
have gone and who have remained

Bsa5" One of the boldest acts of stealing we
have heard of lately was committed on Wcdnes-
day night of last week
Mr.. L. j. Harris and Mr. Philip Dunn had
that day cut and shocked their wheat in fields
lying on both sides Of the railroad about one
and half miles from town. During that night,
as the tracks plainly showed, a two horse team
not mules-was driven along side the fences
and load Of wheat stolen from each field. The
foot prints are, undoubtedly, those Of white
man. When thieves have become 80 bold that
they drive their teams up to mans fence
and steal the wheat from the field it is time that
the most rigid means should be adopted to dis
covor who they are, so that they may be made
an example Of in court of justice. 1t seems
to us that such daring theft could not bo com
mitted without some clue being obtained to the
pcrpetrator.
