The Best Evidence.

The following letter from Rev. f. s. BEST, pas
tor NJ. E. church.. Natick, Mass, will be read with
interest by many physicians. Also those ffering g
from the same d sea afflicted the son of Rev,
+. 5. Best. No person can doubt this testimony,
and there is no dOu Il about the curatiYc powers Of
Negetine:
NATICK, Mass, Jan. ], 1874.
MR.. II. Il. STEVENS:
Dear Slr-We have good reason for regarding
your Negetine medicine of the greatest value.
We icel assured that it has been the means of
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 scrotuous affection,
and was 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 rallying t. of the number declaring that
he was beyond the reach of human remedies that
even amputation could not save him, as he had
not yigor enough to endure the operation Just then
we commenced giving him Vegeline and from that
time to the present he has been continuously i'm.
proving. 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 lit le time he will be
perfectly cured.
He has taken about three dozen bottles of Vege.
tine but lately uses but little, he declares that
he is too well TO be taking medicine.
Respectfully your
+. s. BEST

No one should fail to observe that this testimon.

Three Points for Consideration.

During the past five years the NEGETINE has
been steadily working itself into public favor, and
those who were at first most ncredulous in regard
to its merits are now its most ardent friends ana
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 VEGET1NE. lst-It Is an honestly.
prepared medicine from barks, roots and herbs.
2dIt honestly accomplisbes all that is claimed for
it, without leaving any bad effects in the system.
3d-lt presents honest vouchers in testimonials
from honest, well-known citizens, whose signatures
are sufficient guarantee of their earnestness In the
matter. Taking into consideration the vast quan.
tity OF medicine brought cOnspicuousy before 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 D.
). DlCkERSOS, ID. D., the popular and ever-gen-
ial pastor OF the South Baptist Church, Boston:
The Tired Body Sues for Sleep.
Boston, March IL, 1874.
H. r. STEVENS, ESQ:
Dear Sir-It is much from a sense Of duty Of
gratitude that write to say that your Negetne-
help TO me when.nOthing else seemed to avail which
could safely use. Either excessive mental work
or unusual care brings upon me a nervous exhaus-
ton that desperately nee, needs sleep but as as
poor, Tired body sues for sleep until the
day dawn is welcomed back, and we begin
our work tired out with an almost frutless chase
after rest. Now have found that little Vegetlne
dlate 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 Negetine. This prescrp.
ton has helped me.
Now have a particular horror of 'patent med
cine" but have greater horror of being afraid to
tCll the straight out truth. The Vegetine has helped

We caleb yesterday at the photo
graph gallery of Mr.. w. II. Masters,
on Sixteenth Street, over Linden
nnier's billiard hall. He presented us
with the "photos" of the red gentle
Rien who have recently been on a
pleasure trip to Washington. In jus
tice to Mr.. Masters, we must say that
his work, as an artist, is not excclled
this side of New York City. An
amusing incident occurred whi'c we
tarried there. a young man called in
to have his ''likencssn taken. He was
in high spirits until Mr.. Masters, who
had seated him and given his head a
~''rest," asked him to look at a certain
point which read thusly: "All pic
lures must be paid for in advance"
His cOuntenance changed four or five
times, to our certain knowledge, and
when the negative was brought out it
reminded us of the expression of
Horatio when Yorick's skull was pre-
sented to him. He felt bad Poor

Prof. Jenney, in his report to
Washington, published i'll to days
LEADER, admits that some gold has
been found and is being found near
Harney's Peak. He sent this dis
patch q day after he arrived in that
locality, and We are glad t. learn that
he is willing to admit so much in his
official dispatches to Washington. II
he stays in the Black Hills long
enough and takes the pains to ascer-
tain all the facts, we think he will be
able to tell the authorities that gold
exists in the Black Hills in paying
quantities. For the first report, how
ever. his dispatch is very encouraging;
thelnext will he better still. and his
accounts will continue to improve as
fast as he may be disposed to inform
himself. Meanwhile, miners will
flock out to him in goodly numbers,
and their experience will keep the
doughty bug-catcher informed on the
all absorbing topic.
