Deadly Prussic Acid.

Prussic acid is composed Of such
things as animal refuse and blood SOL
ids, with large quantities of oil of
vitriol. Even the smell of the acid pro-
duces pain In the throat and in the re-
glon Of the heart, and there are few
poisons for which there is such little
opportunity for an antidote. If there
is time-and there seldom is, for the
poison is almost instantaneous in Its
action - ammonia inhaled very freely
may give relief and reduce the abso-
Lutte certainty of death to grave prob
ability.

Many persons must have noticed that
the most dlligent sprinkling Of lawns
and flower beds fails to impart to the
grass and plants vital stimulus equal
to that which comes from good show
er of rain. A correspondent reminds
us Of the reason for the difference. 1t
is because rain, falling from a great
height through the air, brings with it
n considerable quantity Of carbonic
acid, of nitrogenous particles and Of
other elements nutritious to plants
which 1t has washed out of the atmos-
phere. So a sprinkler used from the
top of tall building might be slightly
more effective than when employed at
the surface of the ground.

II Didn,t Work.

In his lecture Love, Courtship and
Marriage" delivered In the Lebanon
Valley College chapel several years
ago, Rev. John De Witt Miller of Phila-
delphia said that men should kiss their
wives as they did when they were a
year or two married. When the lecture
was over an old man went home, put
his arm around his wife's neck and
kissed her.
Meeting the lecturer some time after,
he said, "It's no CO."
"What isn't?" said the lecturer.

Good
Tasting
Medicine

Cod liver oil is in universal re-
pute as the best body builder in
wasting diseases, and the best
reconstructor in recovery from
severe sickness known to medicine.
Nevertheless, three-fourths Of
the people are really made sick by
the taste and smell of cod liver oil
Half of them can't take it. Their
stomachs either reject it, or are so
upset by it that the dose does
more harm than good.
Vinol is the only preparation of
cod liver oil which contains no
grease or bad taste yet does con-
tain all the virtue of cod liver
oil, and is deliciously palatable. 1t
also contains organic iron. Iron
gives quality to the blood. Almost
every ailing person needs it.
The combination of these two
elements with table wine is both
scientific and effective. 1t has
accomplished wonderful things
right here in town. We think
we are doing a service to every
rundown, ailing, coughing, ner-
vous, debiltated person in calling
attention to Vinol. We sell it on
its merits money back if it does
not help you. You run no risk.
Old people revive under its inhu-
ence. Nursing mothers and over
worked people get new vitality.
