AN OPEN LETTER.
TO THE PEOPLE OF HENDERSON.
From w. w. Parker, Our WelI-known
Druggist.

To Whom 1t May Concern:
discussion in Henderson in regard to ad-
vertised medicines and their value-the
papers are full of them.
We want to say to every man, woman
and child in Henderson that we believe
the most valuable preparation OF cod
liver oil-the best tonic reconstruction,
heath restorer and strength creator-we
have ever sold in our store is Vinol.
Vinol is not a patent medicine, it con-
tains no injurious drugs, and it actually
does contain all of the medicinal curative
elements taken from fresh Gods livers,
but without a drop of oil to upset the
stomach and retard it's work, and, more
over it is delicious to the taste.
Vinol acts first upon the stomach:
tones up the digestive organs, creates an
appetite, purifies and enriches the blood
and strengthens every organ in the body
to do it's work as nature intended.
Vinol is recognized throughout the
world as the greatest strength creator
for old people, weak, sickly women and
children, nursing mothers and after
severe sickness.
Vinol cures hacking coughs, chronic
colds, bronchitis and all throat and lung
troubles. Unequalled to create an appe-
tite, and to make those who are too thin
fat, rosy and healthy. f.-.-
Vinol is sold everywhere OIL a positive
guarantee that, if it does not give salts
faction. the entire purchase money will
be refunded. W. W. Parker, Druggist

Tonic to the System.

For liver troubles and constipation there
is nothing better than DeWitts Little Early
Risers the famous little Pills. They do not
weaken the stomach. Their action upon the
system IS mild, pleasant and harmless. Bob
Moore, OF Lafayette, Ind, says: NO use
talking, DeWitt's Little Early Risers do their
work. All other pills I have used grippe and
make me sick in the ST omach and never cured
me- DeWitt's Little Early Risers proved to
be the long sought relief. They are simply
perfect" Persons travelling find Little Early
Risers the most reliable remedy to carry with
them. Sold at Parker's Two Drug Stores.

the lowest estimate 10000 children. all of
whom are less than twelve years of age.
work in American factories
A leading Washington workingman, who
Is well versed on the subject of child labor,
said:
I'm many places are factories which turn
out mixed product. Their principal prod
uct, so far as the broad interests of the
country are concerned, consists of human
beings stunted by too early toll with minds
made fertile for anarchy and misrule and
their bodies prepared for disease and early
death. For the most part he added, these
factory and mne-working children are
patient little things. with pinched faces and
dull eyes. If they ever knew how to play
they have forgotten. They only know how
to toll Some of them are only eight years
old.
This child labor is the old idea that labor
Is a commodity, that child's labor may be
worth so many cents day and no more.
But / believe the American people are
learning that the state can be no more than
the average man; that before the man comes
the ch.-d. and whatever cripples the child's
development is a crime against the state.
We learning the sacredness of child
hood When we have solved the child-labOr
problem other labor problems will be easier.
In the meantime the pressing labor ques-
ton is in regard to the 10000 or more
children under twelve years of age who
every week day in free America toll from
twelve TO fourteen hours or more.
