JUST WHAT THE CHILDREN LIKE
Blood Vino Being Pleasant to the Taste
Is An Easily Administered Medicine.


Is An Easily Administered Medicine.
All mothers have difficulty in persuading
children to take medicine, AS a result
the little ones often get improper treat
mcnt, and troubles, which should only be
temporary, develope into serious disea ses.
One of the most common complaints
with young children Is indigestion. due
either to careIessness upon the part of the
parents, who pay insufficient care to the
kind of food consumed, or because the
child Professionally overeats.
In cases of this kind nothing could be
better for children than Blood Wine, which
acts directly upon the stomach and
bowels. aiding digestion and at the same
time building up the system. As laxa-
tive 1t has no equal, for though not a
strong cathartic, it regulates the bowels
perfectly.
Best of all, mothers will find no diTcuI-
~ in persuading children to take Blood
Wine. 1t is pleasant to the taste, and all
children like 1t.
As a tonic for children between the ages
OF II and 16, 1t is highly recommended. Its
effects are immediate and permanent
The following letters speak for them
sel,es:-
I'd. w. Grey. Water St., Augusta, Ne,
writes:-
81 am pleased to say have used several
hott!cs ~ Blood Wine in my family with
best results. Especially In the case
with my children, Who when they arc
pale, weak and run down, we're not able to
take Cod Liver Oil, though the doctor or
dercd them to do so. Blood Wine is so
pleasant 10 take they do not mind it in
the least"

DONAHUE'S NARROW ESCAPE.
In an Intoxicated Condition He Lay or
Railroad Track in Covered Bridge.

Montpelier. Feb 10.-Andrew Donahue,
or Roger Donahue, as he is generally
known, was in city court this morning
and pleaded guilty to the charge Of second
offence OF intoxication. His fine and costs
amounted to $ls.2s which he paid,
1t seems that Donahue had a narrow
escape from serious injury Saturday night
while intoxicated. In attempting to walk
through the Central Vermont railroad
covered bridge in this city he, in some
way. fell between the tracks and lay
there in q half-dazed condition. When
found his legs were hanging down between
the ties and slight move would have
brought his arms or body on the track.
One train had gone by him while there,
but he had kept out of its way. Another
was about due when he was found.
Word was sent Chief of Police Reagan.
who at once arrested him. On being arous-
ed Donahue showed fight and two other
men assisted Mr.. Reagan in putting him
in jail.
