Vinol Of Great AS

We do not wish to blame any of our
friends fol. that which they cannot help,
but sometimes when we see delicate and
puny children, we cannot help feeling
that their parents are neglectful.
Fathers and mothers of this town
please regard what we say, especially if
your little ones are delicate. Everything
rests with you; you can make them
strong and we'll; you can fortify their
systems so that they will not be in a con-
dition to take every prevalent disease.
You can lay foundation stone in their
little lives that will give you Joy and hap
piness in years to come when they be-
come strong and hearty men and women.
Ifyou will let us tell you about Vinol
and follow our advice you will save your
self many sleepless hours and an indef-
mite amount of worry.
We cannot tell you all we know about
Vinol in a few words but we will gladly
give you as much of our time as you wish
if you will call on us at our store.
We wish to remind you once more that
the virtue that Vinol possesses is due to
the fact that it contains the active cura-
tive principles that have made cod-liver
oil famous; there is no grease in it, and
we can promise you that its taste is de-

built; hard firm feshy tissue created
and healthy sound nerves maintained.
The following from Mrs. Jennie Perse,
16q Newman St., Mansfield, o., who says:
81 wish to add few words of praise
in favor of Vinol./My little boy was very
much tdebilitated, SO much so in fact
I tnat he had to leave school. He really
was a mere shadow. At that time de-
cided to give him Vinol. He has now
taken a couple of bottles and is rapidly
gaining flesh. I wish to recommend vi
mol to all who are inneed of a tonic.''
Not only for children but for adults do
we recommend VinOl without reservation
and stand prepared to refund all money
to those who do not find absolute satis-
faction in its use. =

The time to eat fruit is at the end
of hearty dinner, at which a variety
of food has already been consumed.
This applies to raw fruit; cooked
fruit may be eaten at any time, and
much digestive disorder would be
averted if this distinction were observ-
ed. Fruit is wholesome only when 1t
is in proper condition-ripe and fresh.
Its deserved good reputation has Deen
much impaired by the sale of half
ripe and stale fruit, which is about tho
most unwholesome food that can be
