ARRANGEMENTS MADE.
A Deal Closed that will Benefit
Everyone In this Town.
Hereafter We VIII be Sole Repre-
sentatiYeS Of vlnCI.

Vinol is attracting attention in every
large city in the country.
The best druggists in every place rep
resents VINOL.
They do this because they have inves-
tigated and become convinced of its mer-
its. 1t is this that has led us to get the
agency for this town.
We are happy to announce that we
have succeeded in our endeavors.
We were told that nc proprietary med
icine has ever been so popular as VI
MOL. We have learned that the reason
for this is because VlNOL is really an
old remedy, produced in new form,
and is now altogether delicious aud
doubly potent
Vinol is a scientific tonic reconstructor
comprised of the curative principles of
cod liver oil and a little organic iron dis
solved in delicious table wine. That is
all mo oil no grease = no disagreeable
features, but all the medicinal virtues of
cod liver oil and more.
There is no one living who will dis
pute the merits of cod liver oil as re-
builder of the human system.
The trouble before has been that but
few people could take cod liver oil on
account Of its obnoxious taste and ter
rible odor.
With Vinol, however, everything is
changed. You will get every bit of the
good that was ever found in cod liver
oil and, best Of all, you will get this good
withouta particle of grease to help re-
tard its action.
Theway VINOL accomplishes its mis-
sion is better than it was ever possible
for cod liver oil to bring about the same
results. This is because the elements
needed are now in more highly concen-
trated form.
We are sure that all our customers
will like VINOL very much and we an
ticipate a large and permanent sale for
1t.
We also ascertained and wish every
one else to realize the fact, that VINOL
is not patent medicine. 1t is simply
new way of administering the curative
elements of cod liver oil.
We want all who are sick to call and
let us tell them about VINOL, we want
to convince our patrons that we have
been working in their behalf as well as
in our own. and we hope that everyone
of our fellow townspeople will appre-
ciate our enterprise in procuring the
agency for this popular medicine and of
being the means of bringing VINOL
here. We are glad we are going TO rep
resent VINOL; TO do this has caused
much rivalry in the large cities between
the best druggists, for only to the best
druggists in each place has this agency
been awarded.
If anyone buying Vinol of MS is not
satisfied that it does all we claim, we
will refund the money that they have
paid us. VINOL is always sold under
this guarantee.
