An Absolute Necessity
in Many Cases.
A DECREASE in. WEIGHT
FREQUENTLY INDICATES
A DECLINE.
Our Modern Rebuilder, VinOl,
Will Help You Do It.
THE WAY IT ACTS ON A DE-
PLETED CONSTITUTION is
SIMPLY MARVELLOUS.

Are you getting thin II 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 CodLiver Oil in 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.. Fl. M. Stufell, who is we'll
known passenger trainman on the
Boston and Maine Railroad, suffered,
as many railroad men do, with kidney
and other trou bles. He writes as fol-
lows:
my kidneys troubled me great
deal, my bowels were very irregular, l
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, am now on my third bot
tie, and it is doing wonders for me.
My 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;
I 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, II is not
strange that we endorse VinOl as
strongly as we do. We unheSitat-
ingly agree to return to any one
who has taken Vin0l and is not
satisfied that 1t has accomplished all
that we claim for 1t every cent that
they have paid us for this remedy.

IN TRIM FOR A HARD FIGHT.
VerOnee and Mamie Putting on the
Finishing Touches.

Finishing Touches.
AS the date of the glove contest between
Pete Mamie and Billy Veronee draws
near the interest in the match Increases
and Indications point to a large attend
ance at the Theater Tuesday night.
The men are putting the finishing
touches to their training, but IL the opln-
ion of the trainers of both fighters is to
be taken they are both fit and ready to
enter the ring. Mamie is as hard as
nails, and with his cleverness and gem
eralship promises to put up the exhibition
of his life. He has many hackers, not
withstanding Veronee is a local man and
his followers express confidence in the
ability of their man to whip the Savan-
nah lad
Veronee has been skipping the rope
punching the bag, taking long runs IN the
country and sparring daily with his train
ers for the past three weeks, and he IS as
trim as could be desired. He says ne
feels good, and while he is not over
confident it can be seen that ne Is eager
for the fray.
Veronee and Mamie fought a twenty
fve-round match at odd Fellows Hall
about two months ago. Both men were
on their feet and in good condition at the
conclusion of the match and the referee
decided 1t a draw. The fight was one of
the best and most interesting that had
been seen here in a long time and the
ability of the boxers was so evenly
matched that the corning bsut was at :
ranged to settle the discussion as to their
relative merits. A competent re cree and
timekeepers will have charge of the con-
test, which ought to be a warm one.

that the parade will be imposing. as some
pains have been taken in the arrange

event, and it is probable there will be at
least 200 of the sons of Erin to appear in
