THAT THE FOOD IS DIGEST
Ed IS ASLO EQUALLY
NECESSARY.
We Recommend VinOl as an
Appetite Creator.
We GUARANTEE THAT VINOL
WILL. AID DIGESTION.

Vinol is the greatest aid to digestion
that we have ever known.
1t is because Vinol acts so benefcially
upon the stomach that it accomplishes
SO much good
principles that are found in cod liver
oil, without any Oil or grease.
These medicinal elements act so
favorably upon the stomach, that this
organ obtains for itself the elements
necessary for creating new flesh. muscle
tissue and for making rich red blood.
When the stomach acts easily and
naturally, desire is created for good
simple food and q good appetite is the
sure result.
With cod-liver oil as formerly taken
the medicinal elements which it con-
tanned were too often unable to
counteract the harm that was done by
the obnoxious grease that enveloped
them.
Now that in Vinol we have those
same elements separated from the vile
tasting fat, we have tonic and re-
builder that is simply marvellous in it's
action.
The following is letter that will ex-
plain itself:
"This is to certify that have used
si1 bottles of Vinol, and have found it
of great value as an appetizer and
tonic in general debility. l have re-
ceived SO much benefit from its use
that gladly furnish this testimonial
in order that others may be induced to
give it trial and prove to themselves
its recuperative powers. "-MRs. ELIz-
ABRTH FRENEY, Waterbury, Conn.
We want every one in this place to
know more about our Vinol, how 1t
cures and what 1t cures. Certainly
the greatest tonic and rebuilder we
have ever sold.
We, therefore, cordially invite any
one interested to call upon us, and
we want all to bear In mind that we
Twill gladly refund to any one who is
j not satisfied with the action of Vinol
every cent they pay for it.

the island score of years after its final
occupation by the French. There is
also a civic hospital, considerable
garrison, and fine promenade called
the Place de st. Nicolas, facing the sea.

of the upper town are in the villa style,
mostly painted white with grey jalous-

hills to the darker mountains: with
some long-forsaken monasteries, dusky
olve-groves and gardens of oranges,
almonds and lemons.
The suburbs Of Bastia afford charm

and Barbary fig trees, orchards of
peaches, apricots and pomegranates,
and gardens in which muscatel grapes

rather, promontory-named on the map
Cape Corso; though the journey occu-
pies three days and is not of the easiest.
The promontory juts out into the sea
about forty miles and has an average
width of fourteen miles, A mountain
range, principally of green serpentine,
thousand feet high, traverses its
whole length, terminating in tall preci-
pices at the northern extremity. An
excellent road of the Route Rationale

of these were protected in by-gone days

the landscape They are of two invari-

smaller ones round, both machicolated,

the side, to which access could only
have been obtained by means of lad

from the terrace, which was surround

towers were impregnable to any means
of attack that could be brought against
them. These exist all around the island,
but nowhere so numerously as on Cape

frequently ravaged in search of men,
and particularly of women, whom they
sold into slavery at Algiers and else
where. The towers are now all private
