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 ncredulous in regard
to its merits are now it's 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 towards the adj
vancement OF V NEGETlNE. 1st-lt is an honestly.
prepared medicine from barks, roots and herbs.
2d-lt honestly accOmplishes all that is claimed for
1t. without leaving any bad effects in the system.
3d-lt presents honest vouchers in testimonials
from honest, wellknown citizens, whose signatures
are sufficient guarantee OF their earnestness in the
matter. Taking into consideration the vast quan.
tity 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 it has done, we should be
pardoned Tor maniesting small degree of pride in
presenting the following testimonial from Rev. j.
y. S.DlCkERSON, ID. D., the popular and ever-gen-
ial pastor Of the South Baptist Church, Boston:
The Tired Body Sues for Sleep.
| BosToN, March l6, 1874.
ii X. STEVENS, ESQ:
Dear Sr-It is as much from q sense of duty as OF
gratitude that write to say that your vegetine-
help to me wheninOthng else seemed to avail which
| could safely use. Either excessive mental work
or unusual care brings upon me a nervous exhaus-
desperately deies it. Night after night the
poor, tired body sues for sleep until the
day dawn is welcomed back, and We begin
our work tired out with an almost fruitless chase
alter rest. Now have found that little Nesetlne
taken just before retire gives me sweet and imme
diate sleep, and without any Of the evil effects OF
the usual narcotics. think two things would tend
to make brain workers sleep. lst-A little less
work. 2d-A little more Vegetine. This prescrip.
ton has helped me.

cine but have greater horror of being afraid to

Cold Steam Versus Heated Steam as =
Motor.

An invention has recently been patented
by Philadelphia gentleman. by which he
claims to convert water without the aid of
fire or chemicals into motive power great
er than that of steam, and which, by exper-
lment, has given 12 tons pressure to the
square inch. while still greater capacity
is claimed for it with proper machinery.
and it is non-explosive. By mechanical
contrivance, Mr.. Keely, the inventor,
changes water from an unelastic fluid into
an elastic fluid, which can be called by no
better name than cold steam. In other
words, he obtains from water, without
using fire or chemicals, the power now OBJ
| tanned from water by fire and called steam
1t is said TO be a wonderful invention by
those who have seen it tested, who state
that it accomplishes all that is claimed for
it by the inventor, and believe it is des-
tined to work a greater revolution than that
made either by the cotton gin, the steam
engine OF the telegraph. These tests have
been made before scientific experts, who
pronounce it practicable, as indeed the
original and often repeated experiments of
MIR. keely prove. He first discovered the
principle he has discovered in his motor
while attempting to make power.saving
water wheel. and few years ago applied
the power to running stationary engines. :.
TO test the power that had been obtained,
Mr.. keely then made cylinder Of drawn
copper, encased this in wrought iron, and
placed around both steel bands close to-
gether, making powerful cylinder. The
power was turned on, and the cylinder
was torn to pieces in an instant. Then a
three-horse power engine was built, and
finally fiteen.horse. These engines
have been run in Philadelphia every
day for a year it is said, without the
use of fire, and without the use
of chemicals, at a cost OF not one cent.
The iifteen-horse power engine has
been run twenty-three consecutive hours
with power manufactured in less than FIVE
minutes. The advantages claimed for it
over steam, in addition to obviating the
cost Of fuel and delay of taking it, are
thus stated:
''The smoke-stacks of steamboats, will
disappear, their boilers be taken out, and
the great danger Of fire and explosion will
be removed
Its applicability is also said to be even
greater than that of steam. These state
ments come well authenticated, and if cor
rect it may prove to be more wonderful
discovery than that Of steam. while its ap-
plication may be far more universally

Valuable Evidence.

The following unsolicited testimonial from Rev

The Rest Evidence.

The following letter from Rev. E. S. BEST, pas.
tor NJ. E. church.. Natick Mass, will be read with
interest by many physicians. Also those su ffering
from the same disease as afflicted the of Rev.
L. ). Best. No person can doubt this testimony,
and there is no dou IT about the curative powers OF
Vegetine
NArICK, Mass Jan. ], 1874.
Mr.. ii. X. STEVENS:
Dear Strive have good reason for regarding
your Negetine a medicine of the greatest value
We feel assured that il has been the means of saw
ing our sons life. He Is now seventeen years OF
age for the last two years he has suffered from
crosis of his leg, caused by scrofulous affection
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 ever ralying, 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 Vegetne, and from that
time to the present he has been continuously m.
proving. he has lately resumed his studies
thrown away crutches and cane, and walks about
cheeriuly and strong.
Though there is stlll some discharge from the
opening where the limb WAS lanced, we have the
fullest confidence that in lit lie time he will be
perfectly cured
He has taken about three dozen boties of Vege
tine, but lately uses but little, he declares thai
he is too well to be taking medicine.
Respectfully yours,
Il. s. BEST,
