summer jeans into the perspective, and he
exclaimed: Il yum! ] will see if, that
committee gets ahead Of me; it will be after
the Fourth of July, if it does"
The toil-worn hands went down into the
Jeans pockets to hobnob with four pennies,
harness buckles and bits of string, which
he always carried for emergencies in his
vocation, and he fell to work on a plan to
defeat said committee.

After Sickness
Take Vin0l Our Great
Strength Creator.
1T GIVES ONE A SPLENDID
APPETITE.
AND QUICKLY REBUILDS
THE SYSTEM.
We Will Refund the Price Of
VinOl if It Fails.

The worst part of sickness, frequent
", is getting over it.
The patients strength is depleted,
his system is generally dcmoralized,
relapses are continually feared, and
naturally.
The one thing TO aid recovery is to
give the patient that which will enable
him to get strong. and at the same time
give strength direct to the different
organs of the body.
Nothing will do this like Vinol.
1t acts directly on the stomach, Gre
ates a healthy appetite, and enables
the digestive organs to obtain the nee
essary elements to increase the weight
of the patient and to make new healthy
flesh and muscle tissue and pure, rich,
red blood.
The following is a letter showing
where Vinol was taken and did good
after a case of sickness. 1t reads as
follows:
II wish to certify to the very great
benefit which has been derived from
the use of Vinol in my family. My
wife was very sick with the grippe and
afterward was wholly run down. One
bottle of Vinol places her on her feet
in better condition than she had been
before in six months. 1 heartily rec
ommend and endorse it."-HENRY +.
STURTEvANT, 81 Huntington St., Brock
ton, Mass
Everything that is in VinoI is
plainly printed on the label of
each package.
We know Xinol is a splendid
preparation, and in many cases
we have been able to see for our
selves the wonderful results 1t
brings about.
Remember that we guarantee
Vinol and refund the purchase
money If you are not satisfied.

Most every sickness, If not heredi-

penalty will be the same and will
come in some form. This is the law
of nature, and not whim or caprice.
Nature is patient, calm and wise; she
