GyIX wears have now elapsed since PETERS
- VEGETABLE PILLS were tirst introduced
TO the public and which is the surest test OF their
virtue that can be gven--there are now more OF
them sold than any other description OF pills what,
ever in the known world. In fact, the sale OF the
Vegetable Pill has been enormous beyond all pre-
cedenl; the 6rst year IL amounted 10 one hundred
thousand boxes--ihe second to lhree--the third TO
8--the fourth to i3-and so on till the year l8si,
Just closed during which, orders for the prodigious
quantity of two millions Of boxes were received,
and duly fulfilled the establishment. These
facts speak more in their favor than volumes OF
mere eulogy, for though andeserving medicine
may possibly be forced into popularity by undue
means, such fictitious certificates and the Ike u
is sure to loose its hold public favor as rapidly
as it made it, for intrinsic virtues alone can stand
the orderal Of public opinion and jodgmen. Tor any
length Of time. Hence the generality OF newly
discovered medicines have but an ephemerai exis-
tence--iheir reputation goes up like rocket ana
down like the slick--and hence the reputation and
the sale Of these pills continues to increase, io'
whoever purchases them once, and gives them
fair tisl, is patronize them Tor NE need
scarcely observe that nine ten OF all the regular
physicians in The United States order these pills

the world has decided On their merits, and The Is
sue is, that wherever civilization has extended,

ness OF Peters Pulls extended also.

Dear Sir,--I very cheerfully add my testimony
with regard to the efficacy of DIR. Peters medi-
cine. My wife had been for several years suffering

purchased of you one box from the use Of winch

further use of IL at that time unnecessary. On a
return of some symptoms OF the disease during the
summer of 1887, she resorted to the same remedy.
and continued il until she had taken the contents
of three boxes. Since that time she has been well;
