Yoder, of this place, accompanied by her little 6ix year old son Robbie, went a short distance above town, by way of the new road past the brewery, for the purpose of gatheriug ferns and flowers, While they were engaged In this pursuit, on this side of Mill House Ran, a man approached them, and accosted Mrs. Voder, asking her whether there were any farms iu the vicinity, as he was in search of work during the harvest season. She told him that there were farms in the direction in which he was going, and he pro ceeded on his way. Mrs. Y. not liking the ap pearance of the man, she and her son started in the direction of the railroad. They had not pro ceeded far. however, when she observed that the mau was following them. They hurried on, but the villain soou overtook them, and made inde cent proposals to her, and also ecized hold of her arm. She succeeded iu tearing away, but the scoundrel caught her the second time, she and the child all the time screaming for help, but no ono was within hearing distance. She begged to be spared for her child's sake, but the villain would not desist in his devilish rurpose, and threw hor down, wheu Mrs. Toiler called to Robbie for a hatchet which he was carrying. The little fellow at once complied with his mother's request, and she succeeded iu getting the weapon in her hand, although her assailact attempted to prevent her from so doing. As stated above, he had her down, but she managed to strike and cut the scoundrel in the face, in flicting a wound, the extent of which Is not known, as he immediately released his hold up on Mrs. Todcr, and ran up Campbell's road, and has not been seen siuce. The man is described as of large proportions, sandy hair, a monstache, and was dressed in a light coat, browu panta loons, black hat and a light colored shirt, with out collar, and Mrs. Yoder thinks, from the ap pearance of his hands while he had hold of her, that he had worked in iron. This man had been seen during Thursday at Kase's dairy, and also at Frank Baruhart's, nt both of which places he had enquired for work. He stated that he was from Harrisburg, but it is supposed that this is not so. Captain Roach has the matter in hand, and it is to be hoped that he will succeed in capturing the daring scoundrel, and that he will leccivc the punish ment which he so richly deserves for this at tempted dastardly outrage. Daily of Saturday. The Fashions under Difficulties. A few mornings since we observed a young lady, com ing from the market, with a well filled bucket and basket, on her right arm, whilst the left was employed In keeping up a long-tailed street sweeping skirt. While she was tugging uuder her load, it was hard to say which gave her the most trouble, the load of markcting.or the draggle-tail dress. Estapkd from Jaii On Friday morning last, Pat rick Curry loosened his hobbles from one leg and put them in his boot on the other leg, and climbed to the top of the Jail wall and let himself drop down on the outsido, Mr. Sev. Hill being in the vicinity, seen him drop, at once gave the alarm, when Curry was pursued and re-captured on Front Street and taken track to jail. A Salt lKowNixa Cask Ou Friday last, a sad drown ing case occurred at liomsiie, in Little Mahanoy twp., this county. A correspondent ol the Paily gives the following particulars : Turee young men working for Mr. liavid Kherry, cigar manufacturer, at that place, started a little afler 2 o'clock, to tuke bath at a place known as"Domaife Dam, their names being Edward Grinrr, Michael Wagner and Francis Hmith. Oettiug to tbe spot named they mounted a frail raft, made of boards about five feet in length, and from some cause were soon flouuderiug iu the water, at that place- more than seven feet deep. Messrs. Smith and Griner being excellent swimmere mad for shore, when Mr. Griner, looking buck, found his companion Wagner sinking and immediately turned back to save him. Wagner says Griner canght hira by the waist and got under him, so that be was on his shoulders but still holding Wagner's wrist, and for time it seemed as if both would drown. Mr. Smith by this tims observed them and getting a long pole reached it to Wagner, which-he grasped and was pulled to snore. Mr. (iriner did uot com up, and when his body was recovered life was found to be extinct. Huch are the particulars as gath ered about an hour after the occurrence. Griner was nineteen years old last month, and is from Mt. Joy, Lancaster county, where his parents reside. He had lieeu working for Mr. Sherry aliont two mouths. Man Foi-ko Dead I'kdf.b a IIhiikje. On Friday morning last, July 2ml, as John Ikiyd, of Coal township was on his way to work at F.xselsior, he founds man lying uuder the X. C. K. W. bridge, at Brady uolliery, dead. M. F. Nolan, J. P., waa called, and summoned tbe following jury of inquest : John Lynch, John Var ner, Washington Mei, Koliert Hagrrty, Michael Mo Gtiire. Charles Tjylor. Dr. K. S. Robins examined the deceased. The jury rendered a verdict that deceased came to his death from injuries received in accidentally falling through the bridge. He was about sixty-five year of age ; alwut five feet five incb-s high ; had sandy hair, a grey goatee and had lost several of his front teeth ; wore a white, hat, a knit woolen jacket, dark colored pants, and gaiters with elastic in the sides. Bis injuries consisted of a deep cut over the right eye and his right leg was brokrn. The following waa found ou his person : An F.uglish iteut lever watch, one dollar In scrip, a pair of speetarles, a shoemaker's awl, thread, shaving utensils, lie The following is a copy from a soiled pajier found upon his body : "Vonclave, Stocton, Pinegrove. Theodore Mngers, New Hope, June 2fith. Cattawisu Fountain. Lumberville. Sun day, June the 27th, Left Easton June the 2.'th. Ash laud, Locust Gap." The body was taken in charge by Isaac May, sr.. Overseer of the Poor, and interred at the poor house. Shamokin Herald. This is the season, when nearly every week, we see notices of the absence of minister from their charges, on a pleasure tour to some watering place or other pleasure resorts to restore tiu-ir health. Many are very hearty looking, but it is pcrlia s best that they guard against the ill-health which might make inroad on their robust constitutions. Editors who labor twice aa hard as miuister are generally deprived from such plea sure trip for two reasons. First, they can never get their subscribers to consent to a few weeks' furlough from their duties, and vecond, tbey are never supplied with funds sufficient to defray expenses of traveling. Ox Tuesday, during the thunder storm, a valuable mare belenging to Mr. George Storer, of Delaware twp. waa struck and killed by lightning in tbe road near Thos. Mast's a short distance above this place. Another horse wss bitched alongside in the wagon, but escaped uninjured. Mr. Stover was driving tbe team at the time. Watsoutown ltecord. Fihe AT Miltok. About nine o'clock, ou Tuesday evening hut, a d)"iat;h was received from Milton, ask ing the aid of our firemen to come to their rescue, as a Urge conflagration was raging. In a short time the Hook and Ladder Comjsny, aud Washington Steam Fire Engine Co. came to Market square to be loaded on trucks to go to their rescue, but before tbe cars were got ready, another dirpatch was received stating that tbe fire waa under control. After tbe first dexpatch was received the fur bell was sounded and soon bun dreds of citizeus were out to ascertain the cause. The firemen kept theinNelves iu readiness for several hours sfterwards, iu case their services would be required. We learn that five stables were destroyed in the rear of the o.era bouse, belonging to Messrs. Buoy, Hackeu- burg, Welheim. House, Striue, MrMaster and Whee- land. Kupj-osed to have been the work of an ineen diary. The contract for digging wells on Race street. for the nee of fire engines, has been awarded to Mr. Samuel Garinger Co.

In order to make room for new goods, Messrs. Simon & Orpenheiraer. successors to W. A. Heller, in the clothing business, corner of Market and Third streets, are now selling off their stock at extra ordinary low prices and at a great sacrifice Their goods in their store in Miller's building, Third street, are sold at the same prices. It is the Intention to close out their stock to enable them to gel a new supply. Messrs. Simon & Oppenhelmcr are among our most entrprlslug businese men, and will sell for less money than any establishment outside the city. We wish them abundance of success in their new under taking. An Attempt at Murdeb. The Herdic House. at Wllliamsport, was the scene of a first-class shooting affair on Monday evening last. Danny O'Dea, a young man, was discharged as bar keeper of the restaurant for drunkenness. Young O'Dea blamed a Miss McEllarney, one of tbe female employees, for his dismissal, and out of revenge discharged a ball in the shoulder of Miss McEllarney. O'Dea was arrested before he could make his escape, and lodged in jail. A doc. showing signs of hydrophobia, belong ing to Mr. Kirlin, was killed on Sunday last by Esquire Snyder, on Fourth street, this place. We find in onr exchanges that the disease is prevailing in a number or places among the canine. Every dog should be closely watched, and ir any signs or hydrophobia are visible, be should be despatched at once. Tbe fact is that several hundred of the "curs" could easily be spared In this plncc. Within a few weeks past we notice that law yers, ministers and those who possess fortune, are going on trips to Cape May, Bedford Springs, Walking Glen, Niagara Falls and other pleasure resorts for recreation. We had partly made up onr mind that those places would be very agreea ble to us, and that we would soou start on a trip, but on examination of our purse we found do funds, nothing but bills that we owe, with a few orders payable in merchandise, so we abandoned the Idea of visiting any of those places this sea son. Two weeks ago we sent out bills to a large number who owe us with a request to pay im mediately. We have thus far received about nine dollars out of about eleven hundred dollars bills sent out. Of course this should be a suffi cient reason for any one to abandon a prospect of a pleasure trip to a resort where all the wealthy gather for recreation. Since we have been so unfortunate iu not receiving the amount of bills we sent out, we have changed our mind materially, and have concluded to take a trip to the poor man's summer resort, and propose to start about Monday next to Shamokin and pro ceed to Mt. Carmel, aud return within two days. While we do not expect to luxuriate upon all the daiutics and wines that are served up at first class watering places, we feel assured, from past experience, that we will get the best accommo dations at W. F. Kitchen's U. S. Hotel, Shamo kin, and T. Scott's National Hotel, Mt. Carmel. We also propose to enjoy fine mountain scenery, a Iragrant brcexc and plenty of pure cold water from mountain springs, and expect to feel more invigorated, especially so if we should be suc cessful iii receiving from otir kind patrons some of the 'needful" to replcuish our empty purse. We visited the fish pouds of S. N. Gaymau, Esq., In Purdytown, which are becoming quite a curiosity ou account of the young bass which have been propagated in them. For several years there were no signs of the bass spawning, and only a few days ago It was discovered that Mr. Cayman's enterprise in propogatiug the finny tribe proved a success. Hundreds of young bass from about half an inch upwards In length can be seen swimming near the surface of the water. The lurge bass, which were put iu several years ago, keep iu deep water, and ure scarcely ever seen uulc;-.s when feeding, when they w ill jump to the surfiiec of the water to catch the feedthrown to them. ; real credit is due Mr. Uayman for Ills enterpriso in establishing his theory that bass wiil hatch without hatching grounds, and that they will propagate as soon as they become ac customed to the water in which they are placed, and will yield just as profitably. Mr. Gay- man also has a poud which appears to be alive with catfish of all 6izes. His experiments will, no doubt, prove of great interest to those who expect to cuter upon the same enterprise, aud much information is gained from him on the subject of the propagation of fish, of which he has made himself thoroughly acquainted. Tnr. Subject of Hydrophobia Some Hint as to its Prevention How You may Know Wit en a Dog is Mad. The probability of curing the dreadful disease, hydrophobia, is so very re mote that little reliance is placed in so called remedies. Prevention is all that will prevail, and now that the dog days arc here the following precautions from a reputable French surgeon ought to receive attention : Beware of a dog that begins to bo sick. All 6ick dogs, as a principle, must be suspected. Beware esccially of one that is sad, morose, and seeks for solitude ; which docs not know where to rett, which goes and comes, rambles about, snaps aud barks without reason ; whose looks arc dull and gloomy and whose bright ex pression is lost. Beware or the dog which looks about and at tacks imaginary phantoms. Beware or the one which is suddenly too at feclionatc, asking for your caresses by pitiful and repeated cravings. And thus yon will protect yourselves rrom dangers to which yon may be exposed in your homes by dogs kept as family jiets. The bark of a mad dog is thoroughly char acteristic, so much so, indeed, that any one fa miliar with It can decide with certainty the pre sence of a rabid dog when the barkiug is heard. It is not necessary cither that the car be long ex ercised to familiarity with the sound to obtain the certainty of diagnosis. Also. Instead of the normal and successive barks, it Is hoarse, lower in tone, prolonged and not so strong. After the first bark made at ftilf strength, a series of five, 1 six, 6cven or eight others immediately succeed, lowered in strength and thrown out from the throat. When a rabid wound has been inflicted, one must Immediately, without losing a moment, prevent the absorption of the virulent saliva by squeezing the edges, by washing the wound, by suction with the month and the cup, by the ap plication of the ligature, and, as soon as possi ble, by cauterizatiou with the actual cautery or some chemical ageut. We notice by an affidavit in Wednesday's Daily, that Mrs. Catharine Kelstling is again pursuing her old vocation, aud is getting herself into trouble. For several years past she figured conspicuously on the criminal calendar or our courts, brought on through her odions conduct iu the vicinity or Uuionlown, Dauphin couuty, where she was forced by the citizens to leave, on the promise that If she refused she would be treated to a coat of tar and feathers. It is very evident by her eonduct that she is not one of the most acceptable neighbors that could be desired, and that a community is better without such characters than with them. Bince residing in this vicinity her conduct and bad behavior has become generally known, and her place as one of the lewdest in the neighborhood. Yet we have failed to learn that any officer in I'pper Augusta township, where she resides, has made any effort to put a Stop to her indecent conduct. A tramp entered the back kitchen of Mr. Juhn naas, on Chestnut street, on Wednesday evening, and took a pair of boots and staitcd for the alley, where he took offhis shoes and put on the boots, then left Tor parts unknown. Search was made but neither man nor boots could be fonnd. Time is money and many persons pay their newspaper subscriptions in that kind of coiu. Wc have again reminded some of their indebted ness, by sending their bills. But judging from the slowness of remittances to us, many must have Torgotten that wc nse the "needful." Our terms are ?1.!0 in advance, and $2.00 if not paid in advance. Many, we jude. prefer us to add 50 cts to their subscriptions. TnE fricght buniness on the P. Ac E. R. 11. is very brisk just now. The new engine house or the Washington Steam Fire Co. will soon be ready for roofing. ' The Danville bridge across the river to River side, will admit or teams crossing iu the course or a week. Foot passengers already cross nt the risk ot their lives. The Gatf.s are to be Fixed. We are glad to learn that the Improvement portion of the coun cil have at last accomplished a contract to fix the gates at the park on Market square. Mr. A. Lentzcr entered into contract on Tuesday eve ning to do the work, and while he will no doubt make a good job, the members of council who were so persistent In having it done, will receive the thanks of all who are favorable to improve ments In our town. One or the young shade trees cn Second street, in front of the Court House, had the bark peeled off Tor several Ted by a horse hitched to the tree, on Wednesday last, by a careless farmer. Col. Ncff had the wounded tree plastered, and it is hoped that It will not die. Farmers should be more cautions in hitching horses to trees in the town, as they are liable for damages. The Band Festival. The restival held by the Sunbury Cornet Band t'nring the past week has not been patronized as well as they deserve, when It is taken into consideration that the members devote a great deal or time lu prac tising to become efficient to occasionally treat the citizens to a fr concert. Besides, a band is necessary to enliven public gatherings, and when we have our own band, one as good as Karl Klrchner's, it contributes pleasure to our people, and is an honor to the place. We there fore hope that the citizens generally will give the band a grand benefit this and to-morrow even ing, at their festival room, corner Third and Market street. Such encouragement would go far to further improve their musical talent, aud put new life into their orjrnnirntion. On Monday morning, about 10 o'clock, we no ticed a man on two slabs starting from the coal wharves and paddling his little craft across the river to the Snyder county side. He had a small bundle on the front end, and In his shirt, sleeves, with a piece of board, paddled almost straight across from the place or starting, ne worked most vigorously until near the shore, when he stopped paddling and commenced waving his handkerchief. He reached the opposite shore In about thirty minutes, and saved twenty-five cents. We have since learned that he was a tramp Aithout auy money, but by his novel mode In crossing the river, gave good evidence that he is able "to paddle his own canoe."

Copies have been furnished us for publication in the American. They will appear in this and future numbers, commencing with the lette of James Tilghman,Secretary of the Land oflicc.duted June 25, 1772, to William Maclay, "about laying out a town at the Forks of tbe 8usquehanna." The reference to Loudon is explained by the fact that be took up the tract on which Northumberland was built in the name or his wife, Sarah Lou -don, patented to her In 1770, with the appella tion of "Sarah's delight:" Fort Augusta. June 25, 1772. Sin : However conscious I am of Innocence, I cannot help reeling uneasiness ou being Informed by Colonel Francis that I am accused of having spoken disrcspectrully or you aud Mr. Shippeo with regard to your opinion and judgment about the placing or onr county town.- Upon the strictest recollection I ennnot remember a single sentiment of mine which could possibly be wrested so as to support ar.y such assertion. On the contrary, whenever I have spoken on that subject It has been In favor of the Fort Augusta side, and any prediction I may at any time have shown to tbe rorts was expressly lor tue pur pose or giving greater satisfaction lo the inhab itants of the Forks and West Branch. For the town, ir in the Forks, would have ten more in convenient tor ttie luuaoiiatus oi it, as it mu6i have been removed some distance from the wa ter, and could not have been accommodated with out lots. But really, I have been very cautious of saying unythitig on the subject. For as I did not consider mysell at liberty to mention wnat i did know, 1 wus not so foud of talking as to make Invention. I need not, however, be much at a loss to know the (pitiful author of this story. Indeed, the bare repetition or it by Mr. Biddle, savours strongly of malevolence, as such a niece of Intelligence could neither be improv ing nor entertaining to auy company. I how ever beg leave to assure you mai noiuing ever was more raise or groundless. Have not time to mention a word or other business, aud aui with great regard, Sir, your most, oncnieni aim mosi uuniuie ser vant, Wm. Maclay. Mr. Tilgham. 1 Fokt Auousta, August 31, 1772. Sin : Enclosed I have seut a list of all tbe lots which I have granted in Sunbury, together with the entrance money, amonnliug to 12 pound 15 shillinir. The noise about tlic point town is already greatly quieted, and the people begin to thinK bunouiy inc oei-i snuaiiuii. .uiiuj ic wishinir for the expiration of six months from the 3d of July, hoping that some of the lots near the square on tho front will be forfeited. It is not my province to advise, but I think the for feitures for want ol patenting snouiu oeaosoruea to a ilav. Those which I have granted are al most all to tradesmen, and I believe every one of them arc in earnest about building, i have wrote to Kenedy about some counterpart?, which I want him to seud up that they may be deemed here, as the parties cannot attend In Phllada. If a number or them are sent up, I will take care to see them executed, aud collect the fees. Ac., this would save some trouble to the people who live this way. With regard to the space left between the front lots aud the river, 1 have never uaa occasiou to say any thing about it save once, and then indeed I said little either way. i was no me person nuoiu this niiL'htv argument was intended to convert, and of course It was uot offered to me save by the bv. I cannot set up my opinion torauytiiiug like a rule, but tbe space itself does not to me appear overly large. From the upper corner of the town It IS only ou leei ; iroiu uppusno mc second square It is but a little more than 150 feet ; from the lot No. 512 it measures 170 feet, and should the river encroach as mucn as it has done at Fort Augusta, at Harris's Ferry, aud in deed at almost every place where the soil was good and the bank clear, it will, in a few years, be too nigh. I have not yet seen any of the .lersev men vou mentioned to me In your letter bv King. Shall observe the contents of your letter when I do. To this letter, '-Cum Jhtltu Alia" I expect no answer, nor shall I toany un less you judge it necessary, as I well know the usual hurry of business which aw en us now.

Harper's Magazine for August is a brilliant number. The hut contribution in the Number Mr. Longfellow's poem is by no means the least important. This poem, occupy ing five psges of the Magazine, where it is published by arrangement with the suthor, was read on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the graduation ot the class of 1H25 in Bowdoin College. Among the members of that clans, le8ides Mr. Lonfellow, were the Rev. George B. Chesror, Nathaniel Hawthorne, John 8. C. Abbott, Congressman Jouathau Cilley, aud J. W. Brad bury, ex-Senator from Maine. The Poem is the best of the recent productions of Mr. Longfellow, and for dignity and tenderness of feeling is not surpassed by any thing he has ever written. Simply as an example of pnbl shiug enterprise, the issue of this poem imme diately after its reading is a memorable feature. The Number opens with an exquisite poem by Joaquin Millor, "Sunrise in Venice," beantilnlly illustrated. Joseph Cook's long poem, "Ticonderoga aud Mont calm," wit u seven sujterb illustrations, commemorating the fi-oe conflicts between the French and English, at Lake sorg aud Quebec, for tbe mastery of this conti nent, tea truthful as well as a spiritd aud beautiful narrative of those grand aud decisive events of early American history. Celi Thatter aid Mrs. S. M. B. Piatt contribute poems to this Number. Miss Thaxter's poem, "Snl -mission," is called forth by the recent wreck of the "Uchuler." A profusely illustrated paper, by William H. Killing, gives an interesting history f the growth of that pecu liarly American euterpriHe, the Express business. The Rev. Jnliua H. Ward describes the beauties of camping out, the social guyeties, aud the sportinan's pleasures, it Moosehead Lake. His paper is accom panied by twenty-four excellent illustrations, most of them from the characteristic pencil of Augm-tus Hop plu. William C. Manning, an officer of the Fnited States army, contributes sn exceedingly interesting illustrated paper on the "Ancient J'ueblos of New Mexico and Ari zona." His description it the dwellings, domestic economy, and religious customs of tbe Zuui Indians is novel and entertaining. Professor Rau's fifty illustrated paper on the Stone Age in Europe is devoted to those most curious of scientioc topics the Kitcheu-raiildens aud the ancient Lake Settlements. James Parton coutrihutes a paper on "Caricatures of Women," with fifteen illustrations, from Oavarui, Mrs. Trollop, and other sources. The "First Century" per, this month, is a compre hensivw review, by Francis A. Walker, of the Growth and Distribution of our Population, illustrated with maps. A volume of information is condensed into this article. Julian Hawthorne's serial story, "Oerth," develops in interest with every successive chster.

July 2, 18751 mo. PUBLIC REPORT or A POLICEMAN. I have not enjoyed good health for several years past, yet have not allowed it to interrere with my labor. Every one belonging to the la boring class knows the inconvenience of being obliged to labor when the body, from debility, almost reruses to perform its daily task. I never was a believer In dosing with mediclues ; but having heard the Vegetine spoken of so highly, was determined to try it, and shall never regret that determination. As a tonic (which every one needs at some time) it snrpases anything I ever beard of. It invigorate the whole svetem : it is a great cleanser and purifier of the blood. There are many of my acquaintance who have taken it, and all unite In praise of its satisfactory effect. Especially among the agep class of people, it Imparts to them the one thing most needful in old age nights of calm, sweet repose, thereby strengthening the mind as well as the body. One aged lady, who has been suffering through lire from Ecrofnla, and has become blind from its effects, having tried many remedies with no favorable result, was induced by friends to try the Veoetife. After taking a few bottles, she obtained such great relief that she expressed a wish for her sight, that she might be able to took tpou the man who had sent her such a blessing. . yours respect nil iv, O.

Steves, Esq. : Dear Sir I should be wautitig in gratitude, if I failed to acknowledge what the Veoetine has doue for me. 1 was artacked about eleven months since with Bronchitis, which settled into Consumption. I had night sweats and fever chills ; was distressed for brcnth, aud frequently spit blood ; was all emaciated, very weak, and so low that my friends thought my rase hope less. I was advised to make a trial of the Vecetine, which, under the providence of God, has cured me. That he may bless the use of your medi cine to others, as he has to me, and that his di vine grace mav attend you, is the heartfelt pray er of your admiring, hnmble servant. utrtJAMi.i rm ti.mill. - p. S. Mine is but one among the many cures vour medicine has effected in this place. B, P. MAKE IT PUBLIC. South Boston, Feb. 9, 1S71. R. II. SteveSS, Esq. Dear Sir I havo heard from very many sources of the great success of Veoetine in cases of Scrofula, Rheumatism, Kidney Complaint, Catarrh, and other diseases of kindred nature. I make no hesitation in saying that I know Vege eine to be most reliable remedy for Catarrh and General debility. My wire has been troubled with Catarrh for many years, and 'at times very badly. She has thoroughly tried euery supposed remedy that we could hear of, and with all this she has for sev eral years been gradually growing worse, and the dischargo from the head was excessive and very olfenBive. Sue was in this condition when she commenc ed to take Vegetive ; 1 could see that she was improving on the second bottle. She continued taking the Vegetinb until she had used from twelve to fifteen bottles. I am now happy in informing you and the public (ir you choose to to mane it public) that she Is entirely cured, and Vegetine accomplished the cure after nothiug cles would. Hence I feel justified in saying that Vegetine is the most reliable remedy, and would advise all suffering humanity to try It, for I believe it to be a good, honest, vegetable medi cine, and I shall not hesitate to recommend it. I am, Ac, respectfully, L. C. CARDELL, Store 451 Broadway. Vegetine acts directly upon the eause of these complaints. It invigorates aud strengthens the whole system, acts upon the secretive organs, allays inflammation, cleanses aud cures ulcera tion, cures constipation, and regulates the bowels.

Being advised by a fricud she tried the Vegetine, and after using a Tew bottles was rally restored to health. I have been a great sufferer from Rheumatism I have taken several bottles of the Vegetine for this complaint, and am happy to say It has en tirely cured me. I have recommended tho Ve getine to others, with the same good results. It 13 a great cleanser and purifier or tho blood ; it is pleasant to take ; and I can cheerfully re commend it.
