and they have made liberal profits despite
the fact that during the entire year they
were forced TO do business on a falling

The increase in the business done during
the year was largely due TO the great
activity In building and the consequent
demand for building hardware and build

VinoI Makes Weak
People Strong.
WE GUARANTEE IT WILL
DO so.
We KNOW OF NO TONIC OR RE.

Vinol does create strength.

We know that and have proved Il in
many instances.
The reason Vinol reiuvenates and
strengthens a person is that it acts
directly upon the stomach, strengthen
ing and toning up this great vital organ
and enabling it to obtain for itself
from the food that is taken into If Tho
elements which are required to make
firm healthy flesh and muscle tissue
sound bone structure and pure healthy
blood.
Ninol does this in a scientific wav
and is enabled to do it because it con

i've principles of cod-liver oil.
Ninol does not contain anv of the
grease that formerly characterized cod.
liver oil. hence is free from all the OBJ
Jectionable features which made it i'm.
possible for patients to take or retain
that vile-smelling remedy into their
stomach.
\lnol in its favorable action upon
the stomach and other organs of the
body acts also in beneficial way up0u
the nerves and brain, and will be
found to be invaluable to brain workers
as well as body workers.
The following letter is from we'll
known authoress. 1t reads as follows !:
II wish to acknowledge the receipt
of the Ninol and testify to its great
benefits. Since taking it am lch

GEN J.. r. LEWIS DEAD.
Veteran Who Lost an Arm at the
Wilderness Passes away.

Chicago, Feb. 9.-Gen. John r. Lewis,
one of the best known men in G. A. r.
and army circles, died suddenly in this
city last night.
At the outbreak of the Civil war Gen.
Lewis mustered a company of men
known as the Fifth Vermont volunteers
and was commissioned captain. He was
sent south and rose to the rank of bre-
vet brigadier general. He took part in
the battle of the Wilderness, where he
lost an arm.
In 1872 he retired from active service
in the army and went south, settling in
Atlanta Taking up work there, he soon
became identified with the public life OF
the city and was appointed postmaster,
and during the exposition several years
ago he was its secretary.
He gave up active life in the south
and Travelled in the west in search of
health, and came to Chicago nine weeks
ago. He was at that time i'll and owing
to his condition but few of his army
friends knew of his presence in the city.
