MISCELLANEOUS.
Three Points for Consideration.

III w Il VAAAt0 AOA
During the past five years the vEGETINE has
been steadily working itself into public favor
and those who were at first most ncredulous in re-
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 and herbs. I'd
1t honestly compshes all that is claimed for it,
without leaving any bad effects in the system. 3D.
1T presents honest vouches in testimonials from hon
est we-known citizens, whose signatures are sui
hclent guarantee of their earnesness in the matter
Iakng INTO consideration the vast quantity of medi
cine brought conspicuousy before the public
through the flaming advertisements in the newspaper
columns, with no proof of merit genuine vouches
OF what it has done, showed be pardoned for
maifestng small degree of prid in presenting the
following testimonial from Rev. j. S. DICKERSON
d. ID. the popular and eyer-geHa pastor of the South
Baptist Church, Boston:
The Tired Ii ody Sues For Sleep.
BOSTON, March Is, 1874.
III. R. STEVENS, ESQ.,:
Dear Sir-It is as much from sense of duty as of
gratitude that write to say that your VEGETINE-
even 1t is patent medcinehas been of great help
to me when nothing else seemed to avail which l
coulc safely use. Either excessive meuta work
unusual care brings upon me q nervous exhaustion
That desperately needs sleep, but as desperately de-
Ties it. Night after night the poor, tired body
for sleep until the day dawn is welcomed back, and
we begin work tired out with an almost futless
chase after rest. Now l have found that little
VEGETINE taken just before / retire gives
evil effects of the usual narcotics. think two things
would , tend to make brain-workers sleep. 1st-A
little less work. 2d-A little more VEGETINE.
This prescription has helped me.
Now have particular horror Of "patent med
icine" but have greater horror Of being afraid
tell the straight out truth. The VEGETINE has
helped me, and own it up. Yours &c,
j. S. DICKERSON.

MR.. II. R. STEVENS:
Dear Strive have good reason for regarding
your VEGETINE a medicine of the greatest value.
We feel assured that it has been the means of saving
sons life. He is nov seventeen years CT age;
for the last two years he has suffered from necrosis
of his leg, caused by scrofuous affection, and was
SO far reduced that nearly al. . no him thought
his recovery impossible. council of able phys-
clans could give but the aintest hope of his
rallying, two of the number declaring that he was
beyond the reach of human remedies, that even am
putation could not save him, as he had not vigor
enough to endure the operation. just then COM
menced giving him VEGETINE, and from that time
to the present he has been continuously improving.
He has lately resumed his studies, thrown away
crutches and cane, and walks about cheerfully and
strong.
Though there is still some discharge from the
opening where the limb lanced, we have the
fullest confidence that in little time he will be per-
fectly cured.
He has taken about three dozen bottles of VEGE-
TINE, but lately but little. he declares that
he is too we'll to be taking medicine.
Respectfully yours,
