CtIX vears have now elapsed since PETERS
- VEGETABLE PILLS were FIRST introduced
10 he public and which is the surest test OF their
virtue that can be gyen--there are now more OF
them sold than any other description OF pulls what
ever in the known world. In fact, the sale OF the
yeretable Pill has Been enormous beyond all pre-
cedent; the first year it amounted TO one hundred
thousand boxes--the second to three--the third TO
8--the fourth to band on till the year 1884,
lust closed, during which, orders for the prodigous
quantity OF two millions Of boxes were received,
and duly fulfilled at the establishment. Ite-e
facts speak more in their favor than volumes o.
mere euogy, for though an unde1e:vins medicine
may possibly be forced INFO Popularity by undue
means, such fictitious CO fca,es and the like il
is to loose its hoiii on public favor as rapidly
it made 1t, tor 'ntrinsic virtues alone can stand
the oIdcraio oil public opinion and jndgmen, for any
length 0, time. Hence the generality OF newly
discovered medicines have but an ephemcrai exis-
tence--their reputation goes up like tocket, ard
/ down like the s,ick-and hence the reputation and
the sale OF these pills continues to Increase, tor
whoever purchases them once, and gives them
fair tial, i. to paronze them for life. need
scarcely observe that nine in ten of all the regular
ply sicians in the United States order these pills
10 their general practice this fact is universally
known, and has been testified of time and again
by nearly all the most eminent members of the lac
ulty. BIZ, il is like gliding refined gold and paint
ing the lily 10 eulogze Peters Vegetable Pills, for
the world has decided their merits, and the is
/ sue il, that wherever civilization he's extended
there have the reputation, the sale, and the useful
ness of Peters Pills extended also.

| Doctor J. p. Peters. Dear Sir,-i have obtain
ed, and now forward to sou, the certificate of Mr.
William Walkins--s gentleman of high respecta-
bility-reatye the good and sautary effects pro-
duced by the Of your medicine, which hope
will be of some use to you. Your most obed I
servt, ARTHUR SMITH.
Norfolk, Sept 20, 1888
Dear Sir.-T very cheeIfully add my testimony
with regard to the efficacy OF DR.. Peters medi-
cine. My wife had been for several years suffering
and lingering under the effects of Dyspepsia, with
its usual accompaniment, in December 1885, /
purchased of you one box from the use e which
her health was far restored, that she deemed the
further of it at that time unnecessary. On
return of some symptoms of the disease during the
summer of 1897, she resored to the same remedy,
and continued it until she had taken the conieuts
Of three boxes. Since that time she has been well;
and can without Inconvenience, eat any thing she
fsncies.
From this case, and from the benefit TO my own
health, derived from the Of single box nm
prepared to believe that this medicine is justly en-
titled to all the credit claimed for it by its wsmesi
advocates. Yours very respectfully.
