REASONS
Why our Vinol is the Greatest
Health Restorer and Strength
Creator Known to Medicine.

Because Vinol contains in . concen.
trated form ALL of the medicinal cur
ative elements found in cod liver oil,
but without drop Of oil TO nauseate
and upset the stomach; therefore,
wherever old fashioned cod liver oil or
emulsions will do good, Vinol will do
far moro good.
Because we have never sold anything
I'm our store equal TO VinOl to restore
health and create strength for old pe0-
pie, weak, sickly women and children
nursing mothers, and after severe
sickness.
vinol cures hacking coughs, chronic
colds, bronchitis, and all throat and
lung troubles.
A prominent physician writes:
''Vinol is the most palatable and
valuable preparation of cod liver oil
ever rcompounded. Inow use il entirely
in all cases where formerly depended
upon old-fashioned cod liver oil and
emulsions."
Try vinol on our guarantee to return
your money If you arc not satisfied.

w WEEDS

Consumption is q human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young; /;
when old, sometimes inn
possible. ~
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
Scottis Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
tion is when you begin trying
to-. hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption SO
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be betterfor the
treatment. If its,is consump-

the National Park Zoo.
They received a few scratches ana cuts

The ostriches seemed to have Jared a

While they are just as sound physically
as they ever were, they are rather short
on feathers.
II seems that on the steamer they
were the center OF attraction, and their
beautiful plumage protruding from the
openings i'm their crates proved too
strong a temptation for some members
of the fair sex 10 resist. Whenever the
keeper would turn his back for ever so
short a time. he would hnd when he
turned around that several feathers had
been plucked.
COnscienceless Women.
One of the men in the bird house where
the ostriches are now located, said that
"a good many women with ostrich
plumes on their hats would wear them
with a guilty conscience this winter.

Though this aggregate increase is
