VEGETINE.
MY SON SPEAKS.

Mr.. III. X. STEVENS.
Dear Sir:-This is to show that my son was taken
sick in January, 1854, with ScrOfua, which came
out In large sores and ulcers on his leg and hip.
His leg was swelled more than twice It's natural
size. He had several doctors of high standing in
their professiOn-twe from Boston and three from
Charlestown-without getting bit better. He was
Obliged to lie wherever he was placed, for he had
use of his limbs whatever. When We had given up
all hopes Of his living, We were told to try VEGE
TINE. the great Blood Remedy; and he had taken 1t
but short time before We could see great change.
The sores ran so bad that we had to change the
cloths four or five times day. Still he was getting
better; for he could move his limbs, and hep him.
self little. He was soon able to sit up in bed and
by constant use of VEGETINE it has cured him.
He has lame leg, which he will probably have for
life; but We an honestly believe If we had used
SEGETINE before we had bothered with those doc
tors, would have saved the of his leg and re-
stored to natural health hope all those troubled
with Scrofula will read this testimony of me and my
SON, who Is now well, and able to speak for himse

Theabove plain but honest statement conclusiyely
shows the quick and thorough cleansing effects of
the VEGETINE in Scrofula.

While We think of it we might as well suggest that it would be good move for the Board of Supervisors to interest themselves in the matter of ditch crossings on the public roads leading from the town. The road leading to Gillltt should, by all means, be put in good order by run ming substantial. wooden culverts at the crossings of the diichcs, and raising the grade of the road till the last ditch is passed. Considerable freight.ng is being done on this road to Gillctt and Prescott, and heavily loaded teams have a hard time get ting past the ditches when they overflow. By all means let us have the roads repaired.

SALT RIVER HERALD
APRIL 6.

The experiment of a newspaper in Phenix is a success, and our ex- -pectations more than realized. It could not be possible that so rich a valley as ouls would fail to support local paper. The patronage ex- tended to the HERALD by our en- terprising merchants has placed ou
 paper on a good footing. as the crowded state of our advertising columns plainly show, rendering il necessary for us to enlarge, as the space is too limited for matter of news. The HERALD Is 10 be found at every freside among our farm CTS, while a large number of our papers are sent by them to their frien1s in other sections of the coun- try. IL is a familiar vi.i.or to our mining camps, bringing the glad tidings to the honest miner that the Great Salt River Valley can supply all their wants, and that the mer- chant of Phcnix can andersell all Others in the Territory. Our humble efforts, we believe are ap- preciated by our patrons. and We promise to do all in our power to aid them in the development of Maricopa county and Phenix in par ticular, and help them to bui!d up an empire of agricultural and mer- cantile wealth second to none in the land. We have the land and water sufficient to supply all Arizona's wants in material for and motive power to run manufactures. The waters of Salt river can be utilized so that thousands of spindlns could be set in motion; we have fine grazing lands for sheep to grow the wool, and our mills could be kept going the year round, not only for home consumption but for export at a remunerdtive plice. A few years hence our rich mines will bring all this about. No better soil and eli mate can be found for the cultiva- ton of sugar cane than ours. Our farmers should attach more import ance to this subject, and sugar re- finery would soon be in operation. Too much "ranchng" has been done heretofore, and a more varied production will hereafter be the or der of the day. We will take occa- sion to speak more at length on this subject in a future issue.
