herself to reach such a perfection of
misery when there is absolutely no
need of it. The subject of our por-
trait in this sketch, Mrs. Williams of
Englishtown, Nj, has been entirely
cured of such illness and misery by
Lydia Z. Pinkhams Vegetable Com
pound, and the guiding advice of Mrs.
Pinkham of Lynn, Mass.
No other medicine has such record
for absolute cures, and no other medi-
cine is lust as good" Women who
want cure should insist upon getting

THE BACKGROUND GROUP.


The crowd huzzas, the music madly plays;
It's meet, fo:, To- it is the day of days;
The home returning heroes come cry
OF welcome should be lifted to the sky
And flowers strew the people tramped ways.
The drums beat martally; with rhythmic beat
The steps resound along the gaping street.
Harkl What acclaimsi And how the folk Go
press
To see to touch may be, the very dress
OF those who dared the death when life is sweet
But stayl Where Joy is general wheye the sound
OF jublant voices rends the air around,
Why is yon group 50 silent in its place,
With wars imprisoned image face to facef
Wherefore those eyes cast nunlike on the ground2
Who are these hangers back, these dark ROBBED
ones?
They are the mothers who are reft Of sons,
The wives whose dearest lie all unearessed
Afar with vital stains on brow or breast,
The children orphaned at the mouths Of guns.

Vinol Promptly overcomes
Weakness.
nEBILITY OFTEN PRECEDES
COMPLETE COLLAPSE.
We Want Every One to Know
How to Get Strong.
OUR vIN0L Is A STRENGTH
CREATOR.

The saddest sight on earth lisa broken
down man or woman.
We see such people every day right
here in our city.
1t is pitiful TO see a man that should
be in his prime dragging himself
through life detected, discouraged and
broken down, due to some premature
weakness. 1t does not make any diff
ference whether this weakness is the
result of dissipation, indiscreet living
or disease it can be. overcome.
We have known of many very serious
cases of debility quickly overcome by
Vinol.
Vinol is a scientific rebuilder and
strength creator. Itcontains the active
curative principles of Cod-Liver. Oil in
q highly concentrated form. The
benefit that can be derived from the
use of these properties is so we'll known
that there is no need for US to enter
into that subject.
We could quote many instances where
vinol has done good; as an example,
here is one coming from Jane S. Fen
fren, prominent member of the w. G..
T. u, and a resident of Suncook, n. Il.
She writes:
II was run down, was in bed from
Nav to March. Was so nervous and
sickly that every one thought l was in
smost precarious condition. My weight
was reduced to 100 pounds. / was ad-
yised to take Vinol, which / did, and
am now very much better, and am able
to be about again. AS rebuilder and
strength giver nothing can equal it.
Vinol is God-blessing to anybody"
Because Vinol is delicious, and
because it does contain these
much-sought-after medicinal
properties we endorse it, and we
unhesitatingly proclaim that 1t is
better than any preparation of
cod-liver oil or tonic rebuilderwe
have ever had in our store.
