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 incredulOus in re-
gard to its merits are now its most ardent friends
and supporters.

Boston, March 16, 1874
H. R. STEVENS, ESQ.,:
Dear Sr-lt is as much from a sense of duty as of
gratitude that write to say that your VEGETINE-
even If it is patent medicine-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 a nervous exhaustion
that desperately needs sleep, but desperately de-
Ties it. Night after night the poor, tired body sues
for sleep until the daydawn is welcomed back, and
we begin work tired out with an almost fruitless
chase after rest. Now l have found that little
VEGETINE taken just before l retire gives me
sweet and immediate sleep, and without any of the

would tend to make brain-workers sleep. 1st-A
little less work. 2d-A little more VEGETINE.
This prescription has helped me.

1cne but have greater horror Of being afraid to
tell the straight out truth. The VEGETINE has
helped me, and own it up. Yours &C.,
