PALE WOMEN
A BI00dIess Face In
dicates Trouble.
Watery Blood a Menace
to Health.
WE KNOW HOW PALE
PEOPLE CAN GET RICH
RED BLOOD.
COME AND LET US TELL YOU
ABOUT vINOL.

When blood is watery and thin, or,
as doctors would say, lacks red blood
corpuscles, it is sign that much is rad
lcally wrong.
We would advise everyone who has
such symptoms 10 start at once to
take proper remedy to overcome this
trouble
That remedy is Vinol, the greatest
ana most modern tonic and rebuilder.
Nlnol owes its virtue to the fact that
1T contains in a highly concentrated
state the active curative principles ex-
tracted from Gods livers, the same ele-
ments that have made cod-liyer oil
famous for wasting diseases.
These medicinal elements are dis
solved in a delicious table wine SO that
Nlnol is most palatable.
None of the yilc-Smclling obnoxious
grease that characterizeS cod-liver oil
and frequently makes it an impossible
remedy for those who should take it.
IS found in Ninol.
We could relate many instances
where Vinol has done good and re-
stored the roses of health to the pale
checks of the sufferer.
The following is a fair sample Of the
way people write in regard to Vinol
For several months | suffered lassi-
tuGe and tired all the time. Also a
sinking feeling in my stomach, which
nothing would relieve, and | was pale
and weak. As an experiment | tried
Nlnol and if | wrote pages l could not
tell all it has done for me "-MRs. A.
h. LA PRUsCH, Amesbury, Mass.
Because we know VinOl so we'll,
and because we know so surely
what it will do, and how it will
accomplish the good it does in a
scientific way, we unreServedly en-
dOrSe and recommend it, and in
every instance guarantee tC refund
to any one what they pay us for
VinOl if they do not find il entirely
satisfactory.

were for designs, 80 for reissues, 1,73o
for caveats, 2,1O3 for trade n arks. SOY

number of applications for patents,
etc, however, received during the fiscal
year j. st closed was 5000 greater than
during the preceding year, and the
number of amendments acted upon was
also correspondingly greater. The
work of the clerical divisions also has
been kept well up to date. The annual
plea for more for the patent Of
flee is made in the report, which saws:
A New Building EIDE
at would seem as though the entire
patent office building should be ap-
Piled to the uses of the patent Office
AS this does not seem feasible, ard
the building is too small TO meet the
needs of both the interior department
proper and the patent Office, the COM
missioner expresses the hops that at
an early day 4 new building may be
erected for the sole Use OF the patent
office. This. he says, would be but a
slight recognition of the debt the
United States owes TO inventors. The
surplus receipts of the patent office for
the past ten fiscal years amount to
more than 81, O00, O0O, while the total ex-
cess of such receipts covered into the
treasury amounts to over $4,000. 900.
The report recommends a further re-
adjustment of salaries and a reclassi-
fication of the clerical force of he Of
flee. and an appropriation for steel
stacks for the scientific library.
