This is to certify that I have used VEGETINE, monufactured by H. B. Stevens, Boston, Mass., for Rheumatism and General Prostration of the Nerv ous System, with good success. I recommend VEGETINE as an excellent medicine for such complaints. Yours very truly, C. W. VANDEGBJFT. Mr. Vandegrift, of the firm of Vandegrift & Huff man, Is a well-known business man of this place, having one of the largest stores In Springfield, O. OTJR MINISTER'S WIFE. Louisville, Ky., Feb. 16, 1877. Mr. H. B. Stevens: Dear Sir Three years ago I was suffering terribly with Inflammatory Rheumatism. Our minister's wife advised me to take VEGETINE. After tak ing one bottle, I was entirely relieved. This year, feeling a return of the disease, I again commenced taking it, and am being benefited greatly. It also greatly improves my digestion. .: Respectfully, Mrs. A. BALLARD, 1011 West Jefferson Street. SAFE AND SURE. Mr. H. R. Stevens: In 1872 your Vegetine was recommended to me, and yielding to the persuations of a friend, I consented to try it At the time I was suffering Irom general debility and nervous prostration, superinduced by overwork and Irregular habits. Its wonderful strengthening and curative proper ties seemed to affect my debilitated system from the first dose; and under Its persistent use I rapid ly aeoovered, gaining more than usual health and good feeling, since then I have not hesitated to give Vegetine my most unqualified indorsement, as being a safe, sure and powerful agent In promot ing health and restoring the wasted system to new life and energy. Vegetine Is the only medicine I use; and as long as I live I never expect to find a better. Yours truly, W. H. CLARK, 120 Monterey Street Alleghany, Penn. VEGETINE The t Dllowtag letter from Rev. G. W Mansfield, formerly pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church, Hyde Park, and at present settled In Lowell, must convince everyone who reads his letter of the won derful curative qualities of Vegetine as a thorough cleanser and purifier of the blood. Hyde Park, Mass., Feb. 15, 187a Mr. H. R. Stevens: Dear Sir About ten years ago my health failed through the depleting effects of dyspepsia; nearly a year later I was attacked by typhoid-fever in Its worst form. It settled In my back, and took the form of a large deep-seated abscess, which was fifteen months In gathering. I had two surgical operations by the best skin In the State, but receiv ed no permanent cure. I suffered great pain at times, and was constantly weakened by a profuse discharge. I also lost small pieces of bone at dif ferent nines. Matters ran on thus about seven years, till May, 1874, when a friend recommended me to go to your office, and talk with yon of the virtue of Vege tine. I did so, and by your kindness passed through your manufactory, noting the Ingredients, &c., by which your remedy Is produced. By what I saw and beard I gained some confi dence in Vegetine. I commenced taking it soon after, but felt worse from Its effects; still I persevered, and soon felt it was benefitting me In other respects Yet I did not see the results I desired till I had taken it faithful ly for little more than a year, when the difficulty In the back was cured; and for nine months I have enjoyed the best of health. I have In that time gained twenty-five pounds of flesh, being heavier than ever before In my life, and I was never more able to perform labor than now. During the past few weeks I had a scrofulous swelling as large as my fist gather on another part of my body. I took Vegetine faithfully, and it removed it level with the surface In armonth. I think I should have been cured of my main trouble sooner If I hfid tak en larger doses, after having become accustomed to its effects. Let your patrons troubled with scrofula or kidney disease understand that it takes time to cure chronic diseases; and. If they will patiently take Vegetine, it will, In my Judgement, cure them. With great obligations I am Yours very truly, G. W. MANSFIELD, Pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church VEGETINE Prepared by H. R. STEVENS. BOSTON, MASS. Vegetine is sold by all Druggists.
