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 increduOus 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 banks, 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, wel-known citizens, whose signatures are sui
nclent guarantee of their earnestness in the matter
Taking into consideration the vast quantity OF medi-
cine brought conspicuously before the public
columns, with no proof of merit genuine vOuches
of what it has done, we showed be pardoned for
mafestng small degree of prid in presenting the
following testimonial from Rev. j. S. DICKERSON
D. ID. the popular and eyergenia pastor of the South
Baptist Church, Boston:
The Tired Body Sues For Sleep.

III. r. STEVENS, ESQ.,:
Dear Sr-lt is as much from a 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 nothing else seemed to avail which
could safely use Either excessive meutal work or
unusual care brings upon me a nervous exhaustion
that desperately needs sleep but as desperately de-
for sleep until the day dawn is welcomed back and
we begin our work tired out with almost fruiess
VEGETINE taken just before l retire gives
sweet and immediate sleep, and without any of the
evil effects of the usual narcotics think two things
would tend to make bran-workers sleep. 1st-A
little less work. 2d-A little more VEGETINE.
This prescription has helped me.
Now have particular horror of ''patent med
1cne, but have greater horror of being afraid to
tell the straight out truth. The VEGETINE has

MR.. z. r. STEVENS:
Dear Strive have good reason for regarding
your VEGETINE medicine of the greatest value.
We feel assured that it has been the means of saving
our sons life. He is nov seventeen years of 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 all who him thought
his recovery impossible. council of able physi-
clans could give but the aintest hope of his ever
rallying, two of the number declaring that he
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 we 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 was 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-
| he is too well to be taking medicine
Respectfully yours,
t.. S. BEST,
MRS. L. c. f. BEST.
