A prominent chemist of this place was
expatiating on the merits of Vinol to a
customer who had himself experienced
great relief by the use of this wonderful
tonic reconstructor
The two men were conducting mutual
admiration society, as far as Yinol was
concerned, and the customer seemed to be
as enthusiastic as the druggist himself.
1t was interesting to hear the gentleman,
whose name we do not feel justified in
giving, start to tell his experience in re-
gard to Yinol, and be continually inter-
rupted by the druggist, who would whisk
from his pocket long letter from some
brother chemist, first in one city and then
in another, which would go on to illus
trate the same thing that the customer
was trying to talk about.
''Do you know" said the gentleman,

over VinoI is because it did not completely

You will remember in what terribly
bad shape / found myself after that at
tack of pneumonia, and you Will renem-
Der how assiduously l struggled to take
cod liver oil. You will also remember how
impossible it became for me to retain the
stuff for a minute and how when you last
year gave me a taste of Yinol and
found it absolutely delicious, ! laughed at
you and told you that no medicine that
tasted as good as that did could possibly
do person any good. You will also re-
member what a short time it took for
me to come back and tell you now great

Eyes, you are just one of a pretty large
number" interrupted the druggist, who
have had the same experience right here
in this store.

TO NO. GRAFTON.
Electrics May Run There
By Thanksgiving Day.

Grafton, Nov. 7.-As Grafton and
North Grafton people look at the pro-
gress being made in the construction
of the Consolidated extension, the idea
is prevailing in many minds that the
north part of the town will be favored
with electric cars before the people of
the center. With the exception of the
tfestle bridge and the Quinsigamond
bridge, the ROAD is nearly completed to
North Ga alton depot, which, consider
ing the fact that the trolley line is in
place as far as the "Dagoes' Shanty,
has raised the belief that as soon as
cars can be run to North Grafton they
will be started, This will fulfill the la
test promise Of cars running to Grafton
territory on Thanksgiving day
1t is strongly argud by some, and up
held By TIE selectmen, that the whole
road Will have to be opened at once,
but an authority of the company is re-
ported TO have recently said that the
town has no control over 1t, further
than that the whole road shall be put
into operation as soon as built and ac-
cepted by the commissioners.
Tomorrow Grafton can be expected
to poll one of it's largest republican
naiorities in MANY years. John E. Nc
Clellan, as senatorial candidate, will
have nearly the solid vote of his towns
men, and is expected to carry the dis
trict by a handsome majority. A. A.
Simmons, Grafton's representative
candidate, will also poll large per cent
of Grafton's vote, but is expected to
have close tilt with Hartman for the
honors of the district.
The grange will have a regular meet
ing Wednesday evening, and discuss
the advantages. pro and con, of thor
oughly tilling a small piece of land as
compared with those of poorly caring
for a large tract. One of the most in
teresting meetings of the season is ex-
pected.

found out pretty nearly the same thing,
and attribute the success of Ninol to its
beneficial action upon the digestive appar-
Tatus.
like to read letter from Mr.. Charles n;
Collins of Milford. Mr.. Collins Is well
known chemist in that town, and knows
what he is talking about. Here is what
he says about Vinol:
:. 'Vinol is everything you claim 1t to be.
1 am particularly interested In Ninol from
a chemists point OF view because OF the
most beneficial manner in which it acts
upon the digestive apparatus. l have mad
been prescribed for wasting diseases
greatly improved after Vinol was used.
This was because Vinol enabled a weak
ened stomach to properly assimilate the
necessary nourishment from every day
food, which never was the case when cod
liver oil in any other form was taken
Il know of many patients who have
improved after the use of Vinol that be-
fore had grown rapidly worse under cod
liver oil Treatment This was on account
of the richness of cod liver oil, its disa-
greeabe taste and it's vile odor Cod liver
oil would do more harm for these reasons
tn-the diseased weakened stomach than
the slight amount of medicine which 1t
contained was able to overcome.
g I am glad to see that Vinol is becom-
ing so well known throughout the land.
do not think 1t is necessary for my
praise as chemist to add much to its
glory. Yet please believe that you have
my most cordial well wishes for its sue
cess Very truly yours. Charles H. Col
Inns.
''Your Mr.. Collins seems to look upon
it lust right" said the customer, and was
about to enlarge on a long story in re-
gard to Vinol when business friend with
whom he had an engagement happened In
and reminded him that he had been wait
ing nearly an hour at his office, during
which time the customer had been en-
thusing over a remedy to which, however,
he undoubtedly owed his restoration to
health.
