She Took Our Vinol with
Good Results.
WE WANT EVERY ONE TO
KNOW ABOUT 1T.
READ WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY.
COME AND SEE US.

We don't want any one in this city
TO drag themselves through life in pain
and misery for the want of enough
strength to feel we'll and happy.
If you feel listless, without ambition
and run down, it is bad sign.
You are running grave chances. You
are in condition to be attacked by
most any disease.
This feeling of debility is symptom
that your system is generally democrat
lied. You should take tonic.
You should take Vinol, which we
know and will guarantee will restore
your strength.
Following is one case where it did
this. Mrs. T. Fl. Boyle, of Sc Chestnut
St., West Newton, Mass, says:
"Last spring / used one bottle OF
vinol. At that time was all run
down and sick. l find that it did me
lots of good, and by its use my strength
came back to me-"
Vinol is delicious preparation, con-
tanning the active curative principles
that are found in cod-liver oil, dis
solved in delicate table wine.
Vinol acts directly on the stomach,
aiding digestion and at the same time
creating healthy appetite. 1t gives
strength and vigor to every organ OF
the body.
We endorse Vinol, and guaran-
tee its action, and will gladly
refund to any one who Is not
satisfied the money which they
paid for it.

Augustus were trying to build machine

son, Harry Leonard Smith, who has come
out to this 'sgarden-spot", as he says, to
live for awhile among the flowers and

numerousiy in the shell heaps where the
Indians had their villages. The day L
refer to was alone, and after placing my
