Pear Sir-1- take the pleasure of writing you
a small certificate concerning Vegetine pre

1)yspepsia for over forty years, and have had
the Chronic Diarrheoa for over six months,
and have tried most every thing ; was given up
to (ie, and did not ex peot to live from day to
day, and no physician could touch my ease.
I saw your Vegetlnu recommended to cure
Dyspepsia. I commenced using it., and I con
linued do ng so, and aim now a well woman
and restored to perfect health. All who are
allicted with this terrible disease, I would
kindly recommend to try it for the beneflt of
their health, and It Is excellent, as a blood
purifier.
By Dr. T. B. FORBIES, M. D for
MRS. WM. I. FORBES.
VEGETINE.-When the blood becomes life
less and stagnant, either from chliage of
weather or elimatte, want of exorcise, irregular
diet, or from any othercause, the Veget,ine will
renew the blood, carry off the put,rid hutors.
cleanse the stomach, regulate the bowels, and
impart a tone of vigor to the whole body.

Dear Sir-''hls is to certify that I had been
suffering from a Hose Cancer on my right
breast, which grew very rapidly, and all my
friends had given me up to die, when I heard
of your medicinr, Veger ine, recommended for
Cancer and Cancerous ilumars. I commenced
to take It. and soon tound myself beginning to
feel betlter; my heall h and spirits both felt the
benign influence which it exerted, and in a
few months from the time I commenced the
iuse of the Vegetine, the Cancer caime out,
almost bodily.

I certify that I am personally acquainted
with Mrs DeI orrest, and consider her one of
our very best, women.
)R. 8. Ii. FLOWERS.
Ama, D SKAses OF TUE Bu.oon.-If Vegetine will
relieve pain, cleanse, purify, and cure such
diseases, restoring the patient to perfect,
health after trying different physicians, many
retmedtes, suffering for years, is It not conciu
sive proof, if you are it sufferer, you can be
cured 7 Why is this medicine performing such
great cures i It works in the blood Ina the
circulating fluid. It can truly be called the
Great Blood Purifier. The great source of the
disease originates in the blood ; and no medi
cine that does not act directly upon it., to
purify and renovate, has any just claim upon
public attention.
Vegetine.
I IRegard it as a Valuable
FAMILY MEDICINE.
MR. II. R. STEVENS:
Dear Sir-I take pleasure in saying that I
have used the Vegetine in my fatmily with
good results, and I have known of several cases
of remarkabe cure effected by it. I regard it
as a valuable family medicine.
Truly yours,

"When things got quieted down
Mr. Barnum gave me some figures
about the show business. In his
present 'Biggest Show on Earth,'
which consists of a menagerie, cir
cus, &c., he has $300,000 invested.
The expenses are $2,000 a day.
There are 300 persons empIoyed
and 180 horses. Every spring it
costs from $80,000 to $100,000 to
got freshened up for the season,
but by about the 10th of June this
latter sum Las been recovered, and
from that time on the profits begin
to come in. 'This afternoon,' he
said, 'we took in $2,000; this even
ing, $5,000. The hard times --o it.
People must be amused. And the
more you givo them the more they
want. The value of a show is ex
hausted after people have seen it
once. When you come around
again you must have novelties, and
the best will pay the best. If I had
twenty years more !-this sort of
thing isn't exactly in my line, but
my museums would keep burning.
All the smaller shows get absorbed
in mine. Why, hero are Nathans,
Bailey and June, who manage my
show. They are all old showmen.
'Barnum,' they came to me and
said, 'you go like a hurricane. We
can't stand it.' They now have an
interest in my business. I do not
pay them a cent of salary. I say :
'I'll furnish the money; you organ
ize and run the show, and at the
end of each season you shall have
together a fourth of the prolits.'
That's the only way to do, after all.
Give men a direct interest in a
business and they will take care of
it for you. My gross receipts are
about $700,000 a season, and my
net receipts about 40 per centutm,
or $280.000 ; one-fourth of which,
or $70,000, goes to Nathans, Bailey
and June, who thus got about
$17,500 apiece.
A DISSIPATED DWARF TEMPTS BARNUM
TO INTEMPERANCE.
"Where's Tom Thumb now Mr.
Barnum ?"
"He is living in Middleborough,
Plymouth county, Mass , near
Taunton. He is a great big follow
now, weighs eighty pounds. Yet
he 'draws' pretty well. He and his
wife, and General Grant, jr., and
Minnie .Warren, give drawing.-room
entertainments every winter. They
net about $200 a night. Tom
Thumb should be very well ofi'.
Bnt he has squandered a goodl deal
of his money in yachts, &c. lie is
forty-one years old. I will toll you
something in the strictest con
fidence. Minnie Warren, you know,
woo married General Grant, jr. (his
real name is Newoll) a short time
ago, is in a very interesting condi
tion. She is a nice little thing.
Her parents and the other little
people's parents all live in or near
Middleborough."
"Is Jenny Lind pool ?"
"Not a bit of it. The reports to
that effect in the newspapers wore
thme grossest slanders-all that
story, you remember, about her
husband being a spendthrift and
making way with her money. He
sued one of the publishers and
proved in court that Jenny is worth
$2,000,000. She made $1,000,000
in America, andc Mr. Goldschmidt
invested it so successfully that it
has doubled itself. He is a real
nice, quiet little fellow, a Jew
though he became a Christian when
he married her-and three or four
years younger than she. I saw her
only a year ago. She is well and
happy. She has a grown-up son
and daughter. Sir Julius Benedict,
the composer, Jenny's old teacher,
told me that the daughter would
have been as great a singer as her
mother ever was if she hadi't been
rich. As for thb son he knows that
Jenny is rich. Heolikes to spend
the money and Jenny likes to have
him.
"You,can't imagine what a tri
umph the .tour of Jenny Lind in
this country was. It was an in
cessant ovation.. Old Itaniel Web
stor, wyyepever he 'heard her sing
9:OOW9 9.ong, would rise in
ftnhe uie .1sudoonkas..aho Sai
Anihed'in rnakethre.pro1ored
bows. Ho did it in Castle Garden,
in Providence, in Boston, in Wash
ington. She always expected it,
and she always received it. I
introduced him to her one day in
the Revere House in Boston. He
wore a buff vest and velvet collar,
and had his hair brushed up off his
forehead. He talked sound sense
to her, with dignity and stately
courtesy. I remember the old
fillow telling her in his most in
pressivo and Senatorial manner that
'America is the best country in the
world, Madam, for persons who do
not indulge in intoxicating bevor
ages.' He had just ben 'wetting
his whistle' in the bar-room. After
he had gone Jenny jumped up,
walked the floor excitedly, clasped
her hands, and with indescribable
earnestness and prettinesss ex
claimed, 'Oh, Mr. Barnum, that is a
man ! that is a man, Mr. Barnum ;
I never saw a man before,' observa
tions which she repeated several
times in succession.
" 'Gonin the hatter,' I see, is
dead," I remarked.
"Yes. 'I put him up to bidding
that $225 for the Jenny Lind ticket.
It made a fortune for him. One
day I was riding with George Au
gustus Sala, of London, up Broad
way. I had invitod Gonin to join us.
The conversation having touched
upon Jenny Lind's success, Mr.
Sala inquired, 'By the way, what has
become of that hatter Joenin, who
paid so much money for a ticket ?"
I assured him that Mr. Genin, who
was in the carriago with us, was
the gentleman himself. 'How
much further than $225, Genin,
would you have gone for that tick
of ' I asked. 'Well,' drawled
Genin, 'I told my agent to go up
to $1,000 and then-he knew what
my bank account was-to use his
own judgment.'
HE RESISTS TILE DWARF, MAKES MONEY,
nLESSES MANKIND AND DRESSES
FEMALE RIDERS.
"Mr. Barnum, as everybody
knows, is a temperance man, in the
strictest sense of the word. He is
a teetotaler. Nor does he use to
bacco in any form. 'Whatever I
do,' he said, 'I do it with my whole
life. and it is easier for me to
abstain entirely from beor, wino and
liquor than to be moderate in the
use of them. From 1842-46, when
I was with Tom Thumb in England,
France, Belgium and other coun
tries, I got to liking ale, half-and
half, champagno dinners, &c. I kept
pouring in, and pouring in. When
I returned home the habit was
strong, and I broke it at once. I
should have been in my grave now,
if I hadn't.
"I was the first man in America
who ever kept a place of amnuse,
lment without a bar. More than
that, I lever give a return check to
persons in my shows. I won't have
them going out between the acts
and imbibing. Most of the men in
my employ are temperance men. I
always toll an inltemperate man
among them, 'I intend to discharge
you ais soon as I can get anybody
to do your wvork as well as you
do.' "
"Mr. Barnum is very free to say
that he considers himself to be a
public benefactor. .'I feel I am
doing a public service. I wouldn't
be in this business if I didn't. Not
only have I kept rum away from all
my shows; I have kept vulgarity
awvay. The morals of no person
wvere ever injured by going to Bar
numn's. When I see the rising
generation I feel sorry for them.
They won't find anybody to cater
for them when I am gone.' Here
the old showman's face wore a
really '.ad expression, his eyes peer
ing wistfully into the future, as if
in seach of a man fit to take his
place. If he had seen such a per
son I am sure that he would have
despatched an ngent to procure
him, 'regardless of cost.' 'Isend free
tickets always to clergymen, where
ever I go. Eighty-seven of them
wvere distributed in Boston. I
accompany theom with a card, say
ing 'You will find the performances
in the circus tent as unobjectionable
as those in the menagerie.' Why,
I won't allow a coarse expressi' n to
be used, even by a clown. .Last
week, in New Bedford, my new
clowvr perpetrated this joke, 'What
is the most natural thing in the.
world?' asked the riding-master.
'It is natural,' replied the clown,
'for ice to be cold, for water to be
liquid, for steam to be hot, for
bricks to be red, for smoke to be
dark, and for Japs to be dirty, but
the moat natural thing in the world
is-ils.' 'Is whitt 1' ' dep ajided the
