SAFE AND SURE.
Mr.. H. r. Stevens:-

T. q. Il. SJGVGIlS.-
In 1872 your Vegetine was recommended to
me, and, yielding to the persuasonS of friend,
I consented to try it. AT the time was suffer-
ing from general debility and nervous prostra-
ton, superinduced by overwork and irregular
habits. Its wonderful strengthening and cura-
tive properties seemed 10 affect my debilitated
sistent use L rapidly recovered, gaining more
than usual health and good feeling. Since then
have not hesitated to give Vegetine my most
unqualified endorsement, as being safe, sure,
and powerful agent in promoting health and
restoring the wasted system to new life and
energy. Vegetlne is the only medicine use !;
and as long as 1 live never expect to find a
better. Yours truly, w. Fl. CLARK,
