The Tired BODY Sues For Sleep.
Boston, March 16, 1874
H. r. STEVENS, ESQ.,:
Dear Sir-1t is 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 I
could safely use. Either excessive meutal work
that desperately needs sleep, but desperately de-
flies 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 l retire gives me
sweet and immediate sleep, and without any of the
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
cine" but have greater horror of being afraid to
tell the straight out truth The VEGETINE has
helped me, and own it up. Yours,Sc.,
Us. DICKERSON.

We feel assured that it has been the of saving

his recovery impossible. council of able physi-

he is too well to be taking medicine
