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 incredHOus 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 ad-
vancement of VEGETINE. 1st-It is an honestly
prepared medicine from barks roots and herbs. I'd
1t honestly accomplshes all that is claimed for it,
without leaving any bad effects in the system. 3d.
1t presents honest vouches in testimonials from hon
est, well-known citizens, whose signatures are SUI
hclent guarantee of their earnestness in the matter
Taking into consideration the vast quantity OF med-
cine brought conspicuOusly before the pubic
through the flaming advertisements in the newspaper
columns, with no proof of merit OF genuine vouches
of what it has done, we showed be pardoned for
maifesting small degree of prd in presenting the
following testimonial from Rev. j. S. DICKERSON
D. D. the popular and yergenial pastor of the South
Baptist Church, Boston:
The Tired Body Sues For Sleep.
Boston, March 49, 1874.
H. R. STEVENS. ESQ.,:
Dear Sir-It is as much from sense of duty of
gratitude that write to say that your VEGETINE-
if it is patent medicne-has been of great help
to me when nothing else seemed to avail which l
could safely use. Either excessive meutal work or
that desperately needs sleep, but desperately de-
fes it. Night after night the poor, tired body
for sleep until the day-dawn is welcomed back, and
we begin our work tired out with an almost ruitless
chase after rest. Now have found that a little
VEGETINE taken just before l retire gives me
sweet and immediate sleep, and without any of the
would tend to make brain-worker 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 to
tell the straight out truth. The VEGETINE has

Valuable Evidence.
The following unsolicited testimonial from Rev. o.
7. WALKER, d. D., formerly pastor OF Bowdoin
Square Church, and present settled in Providence,

VEGETINE in the Rev. Mr.. Walkers family who
pronolnces it invaluable

feel bound to express with my signature the high
vglue place upon your VEGETINE. My family

Mr. II. r. STEVENS:
Dear Strive have good reason for regarding
your VEGErINE medicine of the greatest value.
We feel assured that it has been the means of saving
sons life. He is nov seventeen years of age;
for the last two years he has suffered from necrosis
of his leg caused by scrofulous affection, and
far reduced that nearly all who saw him thought
his recovery impossible. A council of able physi-
clans could give but the fintest hope of his ever
rallyng. 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 cheerfuy 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,
| Il. S. BEST,
MRS. L. C. F. BEST.

Dear Sir From personal benefit received from its
| use, as well as from personal knowledge of those
| whose cures thereby have seemed almost miracu-
| lous, most heartily and sincerely recommend
| the VEGETINE for the complaints for which it is
| claimed to cure. JAMES P. LUDLOW
