MR. H. R. STEVENS: In 1872 your VssBrrNs
1as recommended to me, and, yielding to the
psrsuasions of friend, Iconsented I'd try it.
At the time was suffering from general
debility and nervous prostration, superin'
duoed BY overwork and irregular habits. Its
wonderful strengthening and curative prop
critics seemed to effect my deblitated system
from the first dose; and under its persistent
use rapidly recovered, Caring more than
usual health and good feeling. Since then,
Have not hesi.sted TO give VReETrSE my
most unqualified Endorsement, as being a
safe sure, and powerful agent in promoting
health and restoring the wasted system to
new life and energy. vEeErrNE is the only
medicine use, and as long as live neser
expect to find better. Yours truly,

man named VIM Perdue, assisted by
his sister, attempted TO burn his wife to
death, near Westchester, Tuscarawas
county. 1t appeared that Perdue and
his sister conceived the idea that Mrs
Perdue was witch, and thought il
would be good plan to immediate her
upon funeral pyre. Mrs Perdue nat
urally resisted, and escaped her impend-
ing fate, after having some of her clo-
thing torn off and receiving severe
bruises from which she did not recover
for several days. The guilty parties
have been arrested -E.ts,priss.
