Attempted Outrage upon a Married Lady
The Villain Succeeds in Getting Away.
On Thursday afternoon, Mrs. L. M. 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. Another well is to
be dug at the corner of Faurlh and Walnut
streets, which is much needed. We hope that
the project will be carried out speedily,
-TnE new Business CiiANOri. 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."

The Early Histort of Sunburv. A num
ber of letters relating to the early history of
Sunhnry have lately been discovered In the office
or the Secretary or the Commonwealth. 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.
Yonr most obedient and humble servant,
Wm. Maclay.

Hahper'h Mauazikk fob Aguust, 1875. 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.

plu. William C. Manning, an officer of the Fnited States

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. .

HEARTFELT PRAYER.
St. Pail, Aug. 23, 1805.
H. R. 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.

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.
Has Entirely Cured 3Ie.
Boston, October, 1870.
.! r. Stevens :
Dear Sir My daughter, after having a severe
attack of whooping cough, was left In a feeble
state or health. 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.
