rcorrespondence of the News
Letter from Kansas.

Council GROVE, Kan, June 20, rs.
Mr.. ED1ToR:-In this part of the
country, that was visited by the 10
Gusts last year, I never saw better
prospects for crops of all kinds.
Wheat is now being harvested and
the acreage is greater than it has
been for five years. The most for
ward of the corn has begun to tassel
and looks well.
Every farmer has supply of al
most every kind of vegetation in the
ground, and good prospect. If we
have another rain inside of two weeks,
no fears of a failure need be enter
tanned. Respectfully,
A. G. CAMPBELL.

The Rest Eyidenc.

The following letter from Rev. e. s. Best, Pastor
of the NJ. E. Church, Natick, Mass, will be read
with interest by many physicians; also those suf-
ferng from the same disease afflicted the son of
the Rev. L. >. Best. No person can doubt this ties
timony, as there is no doubt about the curative
power of VEGETINE.
NATICK, MASS, Jan. l, 1873.
Mr.. II. r. STEVENS:
Dear Strive have good reason for regarding
your vEGETINE medicine of the greatest value.
We feel assured that il 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
necrosis of his leg caused by scrofuous affestiOn,
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 rallying; two of the number declaring that
he was beyond the reach of human remedies, that
even amputation could not save him, as he had not
vigor enough to endure the operation. Just then
we commenced giving him VEGETlNE and from
that time TO the present he has been continuously
improving. He has lately resumed studies, thrown
away his crutches and cane, and walks about cheer
fully and strong.
Though there is some discharge from the OPEN
ing where his limb was lanccd, have the fullest
confidence that in little tiRe he will be perfectly
cured.
- He has taken about three dozen bottles of VEG
fTINE but lately uses but little, he declares he
is too well to be taking medicine.
Respectfully yonrs,
+. S. BEST.
Mrs. L. C. BEST.

Tine Tired Body Sues for Sleep.

BOSTON, March l6, 1SI4.
H. R. STEVENS, ESQ: Dear Sir-It is as much
from sense of duty as of gratitude that write to
say that your VEGETINE-even if it is patent
medicine-has been of great help to me when moth
ing else seemed to avail which / could safely use.
Either excessive mental labor unusual care brings
upon me a nervous exhaustion that desperately
needs sleep, but as desperately dees it. Night af
ter night the poor, tired body for sleep until
the day-dawn is welcomed back, and we begin our
work tired out with almost fruitless chase after
rest. Now have found that a little VEGErINE
taken lust before retire gives me sweet immedi-
ate Sleep and without any of the evil effects of the
usual narcotics. think two things would tend to
make brain-workers sleep. 1st-A little less work
sd-A little more VEGETINE. This prescription
has helped me.
Now have particular horror of ''patent niedi-
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., j. S. DICKINSON.

toes, grass, and even stripped the leaves
from young saplings, leaving them as bare
as in mid-winter. Their tracks were visi-
BILE as far west as Atchison, and from that
point south about halfway to Topeka, after
which they gradually disappeared, and
south of Topeka they had apparently done
no damage this year. They had nearly all
left the country and gone northward, and
the farmers were replanting corn, sowing
buckwheat, &C., in hopes of still making a
crop this season.
The A, T. & s. F., R. R. was projected

capitalists. The road was commenced in
1869, and by the close of 1872 it had
reached the western boundary of Kansas.
Last year it was completed to Granada,
Colorado. 1t is frst-class road in every
respect, and being built over an almost

Three Points for Consider alton.

During the past five years the VEGETINE has 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 sup
porters.
There are three essential causes for those having
such horror OF patent medicines, changing their
opinion and lending their influence toward the ad-
vancement of VEeETINE. 1st-It is an honestly
prepared medicine from barks, roots and herbs.
2d-It honestly accomplishes all that is claimed for
it. without leaving any bad effects in the system.
3d-It presents honest vouchers in testimonials from
honest we'll known citizens, whose signatures are
a sufficient guarantee of their earnestness in the
matter Taking into consideration the vast quanti-
ty 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 il has done, should be
pardoned for manfesting small degree of pride
in presenting the following testimonial from Rev.
j. s. DICKERSON, ID. D., the popular and ever
genial nastOr of the South Bantist Church. Boston.
