The One Great Medicine.

IFONlutHct ~ bhxettc.
Without doubt there are now and have
been for years pas several medicines of
remarkable merit before the publlc--medi-
cines which have been used, IN very many
cases, with excellent success. Thenames of
these will readily recur to our readers, and
they are the names of preparations whose
worth, for certain purposes, no one is dis
posed to deny. But we are fully justified,
by undeniable and notorious facts, in say
ing, and we do not unhesitatingly say. that
tue one great medicine of the present day.
the medicine, we mean, which now stands
preemlnept above all olhers-is the famous
VEGErIHE of Mr.. II. II. Stevens of Boston.
Some of the undeniable facts respecting this
famous medicine are these.
FTs'-It is astonishingy efficient in really
curing the vatious diseases for which 1t is
especially compounded and intended.
lSecond-It acts with celerity which Is
generally very surprising. A single bottle
has often either qute cured the user OF a
serious diiiiculty, or brought about o most
agreeable change: while a very few bottles
have in thousands OF instances effected the
complete cure OF a long standing disease
which had previously Allied the skill Of the
best physicians.
Third-It acts directly upon the blood, of
which it is tho ohly powerful and thorough
purifier.
Fourih--The testimonials in support of
these facts and the extraordinary worth OF
this medicine are from well.known and
N ost respectable men and women, aud, in
many instances from persons holding the
highest social positions. They are not GER
tiiicates from unknown and Irresponsible
individuals. We. ourselves, are showing
to the very high estimation Ia which Vege.
tine Is held In one of tae best families in
the city.
There is in short. and can be, no doubt or
mistake whatever, about the unprecedented
and surprising efficacy, value and success OF
the Vegetine. AS a purifier OF the blood,
and quick rcnevator and invigoraloi OF
the human system, physical and mental, no

stomachic weakness and faintness, loss OF
appetite. dyspepsia, cankerous humors,
scrofula, rheumatism, kidney and some
other equally serious complaints, Vegetlne
altogether surpasses any aud all other
known medicinal preparations. The RAPID
iiy with which this great medicine has won
its way into all parts of this country and
various foreign ones, since its discovery and

thing alike surprising and conlirmatory OF
its intrinsic excellence.

A Scene at the Arion Ball.

New York Evening Express, Feb. 2l, 1887.
Among the gay maskers that crowded the
floor at the Arion Ball on Thursday even
ing was one lady who apparently d, fed all
efforts ut detection. She seemed familiar
with many notable people, an I her frequent
mention of their names and associations
fairly puzzled them TO locate her identity.
When masks were taken OIL, and recogni
ton followed recognition, many good jokes
were laughed over when discoveries were
made as to personality.
But amid all this scene no one seemed TO
recognize the strange lady masker; her face
was devoid of all disguise, and while she
still persisted in calling many by name,
none seemed 10 know her, until at last a
gentleman with when she was in conver.

a native of Tennessee. He lost his sight
when about three years old, was educated
in his native State, and for number
of years was at the head musici Il depart

Blind at South Boston. Eleven years
ago he went to Germany to perfect him

years. On his way home he stopped in
England to visit the schools for the
blind, and found them much inferior to
our own. He was fortunate in making
the acquaintance of influential people

aided him in opening a school according
to his plans. This institution the Royal

A Touching Scene in a street Car.


A lady entered a car on the Oak
wood road one day the past week,
leading a little girl, perhaps four
years old. The mother sat down
and lifted the little one to the seat
beside her. The child was nibbling
at bit of cake or sugar, now and
then turning her face, full of child
ish love, up to her mother, and
murmuring some almost unintel-
ligible words of affection.
Opposite to mother and child sat
another Younger lady, who often
smelled fresh rose which she held.
The innocent little one before her
attracted her attention, and the
natlral kmjness of the sympa-
tbctir woman heart prompted her
To at once offer the fragrant flower
10 the little budding lily opposite.
So she leaued a bit forward and
spoke:
Baby want posy ?"
But the child seemed not to
hear. Perhaps it was the noise of
the moving car that prevented.
Then she spoke little louder, and
held the flower forward tempting
ly:
Baby may have the posy."
The mother heard, for she look
ed toward the other lady and smiled
and, o, such look Of heartfelt
gratitude, of motherly love, yet
heavily saddened with an express
sive tinge of sorrow, is seldom
seen. And still the lady of the
rose pressed upon the little one ac-
ceptance of the flower.
baby, take the rose" holding
it almost to the child's hands. And
now it seemed she heard, for the
blue eyes turned full upon her
would be patron, and then in 9
moment she strangely drew back
and turned her eyes appealingly
toward her mothers face. The
lady with the flower showed hel
bewilderment in her looks, while {
panied expression fitted across the
face Of the mother, who leaned
forward and whispered just {
word:
"My darling's blind y

Andif he hadn't ridden the rest of
the way in the baggage car, they
would have assassinated him in cold
blood.
