GAIN FLESH.
An Absolute Necessity

A DECREASE in WEIGHT
FREQUENTLY INDICATES
A DECLINE.
Our Modern Rebuilder, VinOl,
Will Help You Do 1t.
THE WAY 1T ACTS ON A DE-
,PLETED CONSTITUTION IS
SIMPLY MARVELLOUS.

Are you getting thin? If you are
you had better watch yourself. Take
Vinol. 1t will build you up quickly
and surely.
A healthy man does not vary much
from year to year in his weight.
This is as it should be. Vinol enables
the organs of the body to renew flesh,
muscle tissue, bone structure, and at
tends to purifying the great vital cur
rent of the human system, the blood
Vinol contains the active curative
properties of Cod-Liver Oil in a highly
concentrated state, and is the most
wonderful tonic that we have ever had
anything to do with.
Vinol acts upon the stomach in a
beneficial way, enabling it to obtain
for itself the necessary ingredients
from the food that is taken into it to
build up the pure healthy body and in
crease the weight.
Mr.. II. M. Stufell, who is a we'll
known passenger trainman on the
Boston and Maine Railroad, suffered,
as many railroad men do, with kidney
and other troubles, He writes as fol-
lows:
INV kidneys troubled me a great
deal, my bowels were very irregular,
had great distress in my stomach, suf-
fered with bilious headaches, had no
appetite, could not sleep nights, and
was losing flesh rapidly. l began to
take Vinol, 1 am now on my third bot
tie, and it is doing wonders for me.
NV kidneys are better, my bowels are
again regular, my stomach no longer
troubles me, and no more headaches,
and as for appetite, don't speak of it,
/ sleep like top and have gained
thirteen pounds. You can count on
me always to recommend Vinol as the
king of medicines"
With many such testimonials as
the above coming before us, it Is moi
strange that we endorse VinOl as
strongly as we do. We unheSitat-
ingly agree to return to any one
who has taken VinOl and is moi
satisfied that it has accomplished al
that we claim for it every cent thai
they have paid us for this remedy.

RnIIa Unread by Heal.

A serious railway accident was narrowly
averted near Ludlow Monday by the
vigilance of Engineer Thompson of the
Boston mail train. The rails near the
northern end of the cut beyond Ludlow had
become warped and badly twisted by the
excessive heat and the engineer by apply
ing the air brakes brought the train to a
standstill Just as the engine reached the
twisted rails. 1t is customary to leave a
space of three-eights of an inch between
the rails but they had expanded so that not
only was this space filled, but few of the
rails were bent so badly that train
attempting to run over them would certain
ly have been derailed.
Such an accident in this rocky cut would
have been a very serious one. There was
delay of about half an hour, the rails
being Strengthened sufficiently to allow the
train to pass. A section man had gone
over this portion of the track only an hour
and half before and had found it all right
at that time, but discovered the damage
shortly before the arrival of the mail train
and the section gang was attempting To
repair it when the train came up.

Arranging to Buy rs, 900 Acres Of
Land.


Land.
Truax & Meigs, extensive lumber deal
ers of New York city, are arranging for
the purchase of 2S,330 acres of timber
land in one body, located in the towns of
Dorset, Manchester, Peru, Winhall and
Sunderland. Judge Darling of Benning-
ton is looking up the titles, and If they are
found satisfactory the trade will go through.
This is the largest land sale that has taken
place in the state for many years. Truax
& Meigs announce that they are purchas-
ing the land for the purpose of re-selling it
in the future, and that no timber will be
cut on il for several years. Residents in
the various villages are opposed to the sale,
as If it takes place, and if the lands are
tied up, it will be a great detriment to
what is now thriving industry in the win
ter-the getting out of lumber and logs.
