PUBLIC REPORT
or A.
POLTCEM A N

have not enjoyed good health for several years
past, yet have not allowed it to interfere with my
labor. Every one belonging to the laboring class
knows the Inconvenience of being obliged to labor
when the body, from debility, almost refuses to
perform its daily task. never was believer in
dosing with medicines; but having heard the VEG
ETINE spoken of so highly, was determinedto try
it, and shall never regret that determination. AS
tonic (Which every one needs at some time), it
surpasses anything ever heard of. 1t invigorates
the whole system; it is great cleanser and puri-
der OF the blood. There are many of my acquain-
of its satisfactory effect
Especially among the aged class of people, it i'm
parts to them the one thing most needfu in old
age-nights of calm, sweet repose thereby strength
ening the mind as well as the body. Oneaged lady,
who has been suffering through life from scrofula
and has become blind from its effects having tried
many remedies with no favorable result, was in
duced by friends to try the VEGETINE After
taking few bottles, she ObtaiI ed such great relief
that she expressed wish for her sight, that she
might be able to look upon the man who had sent
her such blessing.
Yours respectfully
