interest by many physicians. Also those suffering

NATICK, Mass, Jan. ], 1874.
MR.. II. X. STEVENS:
Dear Strive have good reason for regarding
your Negetipe medicine of the greatest value.
We feel assured that 1t has been the means of
ing our sons life. He Is now seventeen years OF
age for the last two years he has suffered from ne.
cross of his leg, caused by scrofulOus affection,
and was SO far reduced that nearly all who saw him
thought his recovery impossible. A council of able
physicians could give us but the faintest hope of
his ever ralyng tw O Of the nnmber declaring that
he was beyond the reach of human remedies, that
even amputation could not save him, as he had
not ygor enough to endure the operation just then
we commenced giving him Vegeiine, and from that
time to the present he has been continuously I'M
proving. He has lately resumed his studies,
thrown away crutches and cane and walks about
cheeriuy and strong.
Though there is still some discharge from the
opening where the limb WAS lanccd, we have the
fullest confidence that in little time he will be
perfectly cured.
He has taken about three dozen bottles of Vege.
tine but lately uses but little, he declares that
he is too well to be taking medicine.
Respectfully yours,

MRS. l.. T.. +. BEST.

Three Points for Consideration.

been steadily working itself into public favor, and
those who were at first most incredulous in regard
to its merits are now its most ardent friends and
supporters: IPLpol s: ..u,,r
such horror OF patent medicines, changing their
opinion and lending their influence towards the adj
vancement of VEGETINE. lst-It is an honestly
prepared medicine from barks, roots and herbs.

it, without leaving any bad effects in the system.
from honest, wellknOwn citizens, whose signatures
are sufficient guarantee of their earnesness in the
matter. Taking into consideration the vast guam
tity OF medicine brought cOnspicuously before the
public through the flaming advertisements in the
newspaper columns, with no proof of merit or gen.
uine vouchers of what it has done, we should be
pardoned for maniiestng small degree OF pride in
presenting the following testimonial from Rev. j.
