GREATEST IN HISTORY
Scenes at Washington Such as Have
Never Before Been Witnessed

The influence of the greatest multi
tHde that over invaded the city over
Swallowed all the rageantry AMI most
impressed the mind. Washington had
decked herself as never before for the
second Inauguration of Mckinley and
the induction into the yico presidency
of Theodore Roosevelt. The committee
in charge had insisted upon uniform
and harmonious decorations. The
scheme was superb. and il was ad-
mirably executed The gem of it all
was the court of honor. where the pres
ident reviewed the parade. 1t extended
from the Treasury building to the War,
State and Navy building, comprising
the stretch in front of the executive
mansion. Guarding the entrance were
gigantic white pXlpnS, surlnOunted by
bronze urnS for the Greek fire at night.
Doric columns, like measured sentinels
stood before the Nhite-roofed stands. II
which the distinguished persouages
were seated, while other columns ran
in a semi-circle through the White
House grounds.
Only a comparatively Insignificant
portion of the vast multitude saw any
thing of the actual Inauguration cere-
monies at the Capitol. The great I'M
numbered thousands were content to
wait in the avenue below to see the two
men on whom the mental attention OF
the world was fixed and the great pro-
cession which followed them.
When the ceremony in the senate was
over, the floor and galleries emptied into
the corridor through which the people
jostled and squeezed into the rotunda
and out onto the great platform erected
from the east portico of the Capitol
building. AS the nrst Of those from

We Know is Hard to
Control.
Our VinOl is Making a Won
derful Record in Curing
This Dangerous
Disease.
CALL AND LET US I'LL YOU
ABOUT IT.

Here is letter that has just come to
our attention. 1t will interest people
suffering from bronchial troubles. 1t
Is from Mr.. Geo. w. Brown, of So. Han
over, n. H., and reads as follows:
"Ihave suffered with bronchial trou-
bles for over year; tried two doctors
and have taken three or four kinds of
medicine, none of which did me any
good At times 1 was SO hoarse I
could not speak. Then l heard of
Vinol After taking three bottles of
1t my voice has perfectly returned to
me. | can see that in a short time
will be all right. When [ began to
take it l was very weak, but it has
built me up and given me a good appe-
tite."
This is what Vinol always does.
This is the way Vinol accomplishes it's
mission of doing good.
Vinol, as we wish every one to know,
owes it's power of accomplishing the
cures that it effects to the fact that it
contains the most wonderful medicinal
elements known to science for the cure
of all wasting diseases, as well as be-
ing in itself marvellous tonic. These
medicinal propertiesexist and have here
tofore been found only in cod-liver oil.
Vinol contains these elements. For by
scientific process the necessary cura-
tive properties 81 the cod-liver oil have
been separated from the fat and grease
which formerly made cod-liver oil prep
arations so Objectionable.
As long as Vinol does not con tain any
of the vile-smelling oil, and is pre-
pared by combining the sought-after
properties with delicate table wine,
It is most delicious and palatable
preparation.
We know of what we speak when
we recommend VinOl, and because
we do know that Vinol does all we
claim for 1t, we unhesitatingly en-
dOrse 1t, and guarantee at any time
to refund the money paid for the
remedy If you are not satisfied 1t
will do all We claim for 1t.
