The Tired Ii Ody Sues For Sleep.
BOSTON, March 16, 1874.
H. R. STEVENS, ESQ.,:
Dear SIr-It is as much from a sense of duty as of
gratitude that write to say that your VEGETINE-
even if it is patent medcine-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 nervous exhaustion
that desperately needs sleep, but desperately de-
lies 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 almost fruitless
chase after rest Now | have found that little
VEGETINE taken just before | retire gives NE
sweet and immediate sleep, aud without any of the
evil effects of the usual les. think things
would tend to make brain-m orkers 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
helped me, and own it up. Yours &c,
Us. DICKERSoN.

| MR.. II. r. STEVENS:
Dear Sir:-We have good reason for regarding
your VEGErINE medicine of the greatest value.
We feel assured that it has been the of saving
our sons life. He is seventeen years of age;
for the last two years he has suffered from necrosis
of his leg, caused by scrofulous affection. and was
so far reduced that nearly all who saw him thought
| his recovery impossible council of able physi-
clans could give but the fanest hope of his ever
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 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-
TINE, but lately but little. he declares that
he is too well to be taking medicine.
Respectfully yours,
l.. S. BEST,
