The Army ManOuvres.

General Corbin is said to be impressed
with the fact that the tract of country
in Prince William recently visited by
army officers is the proper place on
which to conduct the army manOuyres.
There are 4, 900 acres in the tract, and
the country is well watered and situated
near Washington. The fact that the
first and second battles of Manassas were
fought on this ground renders it more in
teresting than either of the other places
which had been suggested as a theatre
for the manouvres.

THE OLD AND NEW
 WAY
Some Important Facts Which May
 Prove Helpful.

Thirty years ago old-fashioned cod liver oil had to be forced down a pa tents throat. Invalids couldn't take 1t, and children wouldn't. But the doc tors prescribed 1t, and 1t had to be taken by force. Yet it cured people where enough could be taken into the system, for 1t has ever been the greatest of all tissue builders and general reconstruc- tors known to medicine.
 We are now anxious to have every one know that Vinol is new form of this very old and valuable remedy, cod liver oil. It contains in a concentrated form all the medicinal clements of cod liver oil, actually taken from fresh cods' livers. but by a new process 1t is made without oil or grease. and it is as delicious to the taste as a fresh or ange.
 Vinol does not upset the stomach like old-fashioned cod liver oil and emul- sions: its strengthening and healing properties are remarkable, and both doctors and patients are delighted with it's action.
 Many wonderful cures right here in Montgomery have been effected by its use, and we ask all of our customers 10 try Vinol on our guarantee to return money every time it fails to make rich, red blood. increase the appetite, cure stomach troubles. give strength and re- newed vitality to the aged. run down. tired and debilitated. or 'cure chronic colds, hacking coughs or bronchits E.
