The Machine Was Worn Out

Why Not because it was not well built, but it
was wrongly run. Thousands of men who have
run down long before their threescore and ten
years are accomplished, might have been renewed
into sprightliness and vim if they had tried the
well known Peruvian Syrup, which contains
among its compounds the Protoxide of Iron, so
combined that it assmilates with the blood and
Invigorates the whole system. This syrup has
proved efiicacious in thousands of cases, and will
do everybody good who uses it. All druggists

with signs in lettering of various colors and shades
One of the arched panels built into the building,
contains the proprietor card of general business,
another sets forth the virtues of Adamson's Cough
Balsam, and the third and last details the excel
lent qualities of Kinsman's Elixir. The signs
were painted by C. Beal & Co., and reflect credit
upon that firm, as well as demonstrate the faith
that Kinsman has in advertising. Few will pass
