wretched roads of North Carolina on
his way to Raleigh in stick gig. His
horse turned out of the road, and the
sulky ran over a sapling and was tilted

An Absolute Necessity
in Many Cases.
A DECREASE IN WEIGHT
FREQUENTLY INDICATES
A DECLINE.
Our Modern Rebuilder, Vin0l,
Will Help You Do It.
the WAY IT 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 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.. 81. M. Stufell, who is a we'll
known passenger trainman on the
Boston and Maine Railroad, suffered,
rs many railroad men do, with kidney
and other troubles. He writes as fol-
lows:
my kidneys troubled me great
deal, my bowels were very irregular,
had great distress in my stomach, suf-
4STcO WIFI uSdOdCLCS, udo liz
appetite, could not sleep nights, and
was 1osing flesh rapidly. 1 began tc
take Vlnol, 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 a 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 not
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 not
satisfied that it has accomplished all
that we claim for 1t every cent that
they have paid US for this remedy.

In Macaulay's day English statesmen
were Of a harder and more robust
type than the present race of poll
ticians. They seem to have had cast
iron nerves and appetites and diges-
lions to match. They dined off huge
beefsteak and a bottle of port, while
their grandsons are content with outlet
and lemon squash. And yet they liv-
ed to good old age. We hear Of Lord
Brougham at the age of 20 drinking
two bottles of port at dinner. going to
bed upon half a bottle of peat reek
(whisky) and turning out at daylight
to shoot teal;" and Lord Lyndhurst at
the age of 80 "supping off hot boiled
lobster and champagne"
Mr.. Kinnear. an old parliamentary
hand, tells US that he remembers see
ing "Mr. Disraeli drinking, as the pre-
Jude to a big speech, pint of port
wine at the buffet in the commons
lobby, dressed in a green coat. buff
waistcoat and snuff colored trousers"
This seems q modest potation under
the circumstances. but Mr.. Kinnear
adds that Disraeli came back and had
another pint later on.-Blackwood's
