MISCELLANEOUS.
Three Points for Consideration.

During the past five years the VEGETINE has
been steadily working itself into public favor,
and those who at first most increduOus in re-
gard to its merits now its most ardent friends
and supporters
There are three essential causes for those having
such a horror of patent medicines, changing their
opinion and lending their influence toward the ad-
vancement of VEGETINE. 1st-It is an honestly
prepared medicine from barks, roots and herbs I'd
1t honestly accompshes all that is claimed for it,
without leaving any bad effects in the system. 3D.
1t presents honest vouches in testimonials from hon
est, well-known citizens, whose signatures sui
fclent guarantee of their earnesness in the matter.
Iakng into consideration the vast quantity OF med-
cine brought conspicuousy before the public
thIough the flaming advertisements In the newspaper
columns, with no proof of merit or genuine vo9ehes
maifesting small degree of prid in presenting the
following testimonial from Rev. j. S. DICKERSON
D. D. the popular and yergenial pastor of the South
Baptist Church, Boston:
The Tired Body Sues For Sleep.
Boston, March 49, 1874.
H. r. STEVENS, ESQ.,:
Dear Sir-It is as much from a sense of duty as of
gratitude that write to say that your VEGETINE-
even it is patent medcine-has been of great help
to me when nothing else seemed to avail which 1
could safely use. Either excessive meutal work or
unusual care brings upon me nervous exh tuston
that desperately needs sleep, but desperately de-
flies it. Night after night the poor tired body
We begin work tired out with an almost fruitless
chase after rest. Now have found that little
VEGETINE taken just before 1 retire gives me
sweet and immediate sleep, and without any of the
evil effects Of the usual narcotics think two things
would tend to make brain-Morkers sleep. 1st-A
little less work. 2d-A little more VEGETINE.
This prescription has helped me.
Now have particular horror of ''patent med
cine" but have greater horror Of being afraid to
tell the straight out truth. The VEGETINE has
helped me, and own it up. Yours &c,
Us. DICKERSON.

Dear Strive have good reason for regarding
your VEGETINE medicine of the greatest value.

for the last two years he has suffered from necrosis
of his leg, caused by scrofulous affection, and was
so far reduced that nearly all Who him thought
his recovery impossible A council of able phys-
clans could give but the fantest hope of his ever
