MISCELLANEOUS.
Three Points for Consideration.

During the past five years the VEGETINE has
been steadily working itself into public favor,
and those who were at first most incredulous in
gard to its merits are now its most ardent friends
and supporters.
There are three essential causes for those having
such horror of patent medicines, changing their
opinion and lending their influence toward the adj
vancement of VEGETINE. 1st-It is an honestly
prepared medicine from barks, roots aud herbs I'd
1t honestly accompshes all that is claimed for it,
without leaving any bad effects in the system 3d.

that desperately needs sleep but as desperately de-
tes it. Night after night the poor tired body sues
for sleep until the day-dawn is welcomed back and
we begin work tired out with almost fruitess
chase after rest. Now l have found that a little
VEGETINE taken just before l retire gives
sweet and immediate sleep, and without any of the
would tend to make brain-workers sleep. 1st-A
little less work. 2d-A little more VEGETINE.
