KEEP STRONG
VinoI is a Wonderful Tonic
and Strengthened.
The Reason Why
We Endorse 1t So
EmphaticaIIy.

We have had considerable experience
in being able to watch the effects pro-
duced by various tonics. We can en-
phatically state that we know of nothing
that will act as a general rebuilder,
strength restorer and flesh creator, bet
ter than Vinol.
When we feel as sure as we do of the
good that can be accomplished by this
scientific remedy, it would seem strange
did we not endorse it and recommend it
as highly as we are continually doing.
1t IS painful for us to see any of our
friends or fellow townSpeople, weak and
debilitated and unable to enjoy life and
in condition where they are apt to
succumb to some serious illness, when
we feel as sure as we do, that if they
would but take Vinol, they would find
it to be a strength builder and health
maintainer.
We know that Vinol contains in a
highly concentrated form, those impor-
tant medicinal elements that have always
made cod liver oil famous. We know
also that Vinol does not contain grease
and is delicious to take and we know best
of all of hundreds of people who have
been cured and made strong by it. Here
is one of many.
Mrs. G. w. HENRY, 205 First Ave,
Joliet, Illinois, says;
II take the greatest of pleasure in
recommending such a fine toning and
strengthening medicine as Vinol ! felt
run down and was always tired. / had
no appetite and did not seem to digest
the food l ate properly. ! have been
taking Vinol for about two weeks and
feel strong and we'll. ] now thoroughly
enjoy my meals and my domestic and
social duties, which used to fatigue me,
are now a source of pleasure. / am now
a sincere friend of Vinol."
When we talk of VinoE. we know
whereof we speak and will refund
YOUR money If you are not satisfied
after giving it fair trial, that what
we tell you about it Is absolutely true.

Especial to the News and Observer
Carthage. y. c., Feb 3.-The jury in

Durham and Charlotte railroad. which
has occupied the attention of the court
for an entire week, rendered a verdict
last Saturday night in favor of the plain
tiff for the sum of five thousand one hum
dred and thirty dollars Judge Thos. A.
Mcneil presided.
This case has attracted more than ordi-
nary interest from the fact that Mr.. Nc
Neill is held in high esteem by his nu-
merous acquaintance all over the coun-
ty.
Mr.. Mcneil has been for number OF
years County Superintendent of Public
Instruction. Mayor of Carthage for two
terms and is proprietor and editor of the

riding at the time of the accident was

was buried in the wreckage and sustained
a broken arm and several other injuries,
including an impairment of the voice. He
was laid mp for weeks, and at the pres
ent writing, nearly two years after, has
not recovered from the effects.

awarded Mr.. Mcneil in no way com

ceived.
