BRONCHITIS
OFTEN THE SEED OF CoNsUMP-
TON.
Druggist Geo. w. Putnam Tells People
of Salem Quickest Means TO
Cure It.

For years cod liver oil has been
known to possess remarkable curative
and healing properties for throat, bron-
chial and lung troubles, but, as fam
GUS physician has said, on account of
the grease it contains, it has been diff
cult for people TO take enough of ii in
TO their systems to combat a thorough
ly settled disease,
"Now, however, said Mr.. Putnam,
1--WE have Vinol, which contains in a
highly concentrated form all of the
medicinal curative elements actually
taken from fresh Gods livers, but
without drop of oil or grease to up
set the stomach and retard its work,
and there is no limit to the amount
any person can take into their system
to overcome disease. Here are two let
ters that have just come to our atten-
.tion;
Mrs. Louisa Stover, Of Elkhart,
Ind, writes; For long time | suf-
fered with bronchial trouble and feared
consumption. | could not seem TO get
any relief from cough medicines, old
forms Of cod liver oil, or emulsions. l
coughed badly and my chest was sore
and irritated. Vinol has healed the
soreness and stopped the cough and
has strengthened and invigorated my
whole system.
"Mrs John Hoskins, Bangor, PENN
writes that Vinol cured her son of
bropchitis from which he had suffered
for years after everything else had
failed.
"We ask every person in Salem suf-
feriug from chronic colds, coughs,
bronchitis, or who need an invigorator
and strengthcreating medicine TO try
Vmol on our guarantee to return the
money il it fails" Geo. w. Putnam,
Druggist.

Nicola Tesla has joined the critics of
New York's subway. He declares that
the electric system, as installed, is one
representating the state of the art 10
years ago, and that valuable improve
ments which are Of controlling import
anee have been overlooked or discard
ed. MIR. Tesla further says: "The
quiekness Of travel, the safety Of the
public and of the adjacent property,
were the dominating requirements
These have not been properly met. A
mistake was made in not asking the
electric companies to furnish the best,
instead of the cheapest equipment"
The opinion is advanced that Mr.
Tesla is making one of his accustomed
"plays to the gallerieI' for advertis-
ing purposes, and that he will not be
able to support his "mischievous state
ment."
