M. Bowman—Dear Sir-.—l feel it my duty to let you know what your compound has done for my daugh ter, and wish you to publish it if you can in hope that some soflering one may be induced by it to try your val uable medicine and be cured. My daughter was married in 1653, and went to Cincinnati to live, where her hus band (James lloyt,) was engaged in business. In sis months after her husband died, and I sent for herto couie home, w here in four moot lis she was confined and caught col I which settled on her lungs, it seemed as though we could get nothing to help her We tried six different physicians for over one year and then sent to New York to a celebrated physiciin there, and she took medicine from hills for eight months; but he could not cure her.— Iler cough was fixed and stubborn and seemed as though it would tear her breast during the paroxysm of cough, and her breathing was at limes very difficult. Failing to gel relief from physicians, we thought we would try Ay. er's Cherry I'erinral, and she took it regular for seven weeks, but it did her no permanent good. We then tried Sellers' Imperial Cough r>j rup, but with alishe still be came worse, and it seemed as though sbe was beyond cure, w hen one <1 y my wife was in at one of our neigh bor's houses (Mr May iiess') and she saw them give your Vegetable Compound to one of lbeir children for a cough ami she got liiree or four doses to bring borne and try it. A in r.u.l, daughter had taken it she breathed a little eas ier, ami we sent am! got a bottle of it, and when it was taken there was a marked change for the better. J then got si\ bottles, the most of which slie took as directed until fin illy cured —it is three months since, and she has not hid a ?> mptoni of the old complaint, and is getting as lusty as she ever was. We all unite in our prayers to G.-d that you may be prospered and that your Vegeiutdd* Com|Hiund may be the means of restoring lies lib to many, as it h is to one w bo is dear to us ; we cheeifully recom mend it to the public as the best medicine for Lung Dis eases that we ever got hold of.

Reader, 1 peddled over a thousand bottles of ibis in the vicinity of Boston. 1 know the etfeu of it in every case. So sure as water w ill extinguish fire, sosure will this cure humor. J never sold a bottle of it but that sold an other; aftera trial it always speaks for itself. There are two things about this herb ihat anpears to me sur prising; first that it grows in our pastures, in some pla ces quite plentiful, and yet its value has never been known until I distort red it in 1910—second, that it should cure all kinds of humor. In order to git'c sum" idea of the sudJen rise and great popularity of the discovery, I will state that in April, 1853.1 ped lled it and sold about six bottles per day—in April, 1951, I sold over one thousand bottles per day of it. Some of the wholesale Druggists who have been in business twenty and thirty } ear*, say that nothing in the annals of patent medicines was ever like it. There is a universal praise of it from all quarters. In my own practice 1 ilwayskepl it strictly for humors —but since its introduction asa general family medicine, great and wonderful virtues have been found in it that 1 never -nspected. 9evor.<l cases of epileptic fits—a disease which was always < onsiih red incurable, have been cured by a few bottles. O, what a mercy if it will prove effectual in all cases of ihat awful malady—there are few Who have seen more of it than I have. 1 know of several cases of Propsv, all of them aged people, cured bv it. For t lie various diseases of the lov er, Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Asthma, Fever and Ague, fain in i* Sid.-.

J. Most Wonderful and Valuable Publication. A 'AIIOK OF 400 FACES, AND 30 COLOBED KN'GARVINGB. Dr, Hunter's Vade Mecum; AN original and popular treatise on Man and Woman— their Physiology, Functions, and Sexual Disorders of every kind, with NEVER FAILING REMEDIES for their speedy curv. Price 50 cents. Dr. Iluuter is a graduate of one of the first medical schools in the U. S , and has devoted a quarter of a cen tury to the study and treatment of Syphilis and kindred disorders. The practice of Dr. Hunter has long been,at>d still is, unbounded, but at the earnest solicitation of numerous persons, he has been induced to extend hi" professional usefulness through the medium of his 'VADE MECUM.' It is a volume that should be in tile hands of every fain ity in the land, as a preventive of secret vices, or as a guide for the alleviation of one of the most awful and destructive scourges ever visited upon mankind. The author argues most strongly against every species of self-defilement, and warns parents and guardians in searching terms to guard the young of both sexes from the terrible consequences of their ignorance of physiolo gical laws and sexual impurities and irregularities. To those who have been already ensnared to the 'paths that take hold on death,' a clear and explicit way is sbownby which they may secure a return of sound health and a regeneration of the soul from its terrible pollution. It is well known that thousands of victims are annual ly sacrificed at the shrine of Quackery—especially those suffering from Venereal or Syphilitic diseases— Strictures, Seminal Weakness, Nervous lKbility and the numerous maladies which spring directly from the indulgence of carnal passions and secret violations of Nature. \A hen it is also considered that about 100,000 persons die annually in the United Slates of Consumption—a large majority being the victims of the voluptuous indiscretion of their progenitors—the author, imbued with sentiments of enlarged philanthropy, will scarcely be censur d for any effort to restrain the vices of the age, by the humble instrumentality of his Vade Mecum. One copy, securely enveloped, will be forwarded free of postage to any part of the United States for 50c. in P. O. Stamps, or 3 copies for 41. Address, postpaid.
