HAVE YOU WEAK LUNGS?


When We take into consideration
the fact that one out of every seven
in this climate die of consumption, is
it any wonder that it is feared by the
people of Lafayette who have weak
lungs and chronic colds and coughs =?
A famous London physician has for
years urged his patients, when the
slightest tendency to consumption ap-
preparation they could find, and
physicians everywhere have recOg-
nized that the Gods liver contains
curative values for coughs, colds,
bronchitis, consumption and all vast
ing diseases u~nequaled in medicine,
but, unfortunately. few could take
and derive any benefit from Old-fash-
Toned cod liver oil and emulsiOns on
account of the indigestible grease
which they contain.
Mr.. F. +. Davis, of the Moss Phar-
macy, says we want every person in
Lafayette to know the value of our
new cod liver preparation, Vinol. 1t
actually contains in a concentrated
form all OF the strengthening body
building elements of cod liver oil
actually taken from fresh Gods livers,
without q drOr OF oil or grease to
upset the stomach and retard its work.
Therefore, where old-fashioned cod
liver oil or emissions would do good,
VinOl will do far good. We
guarantee vinol will improve the
appetite, strengthen digestion, make
rich, red blood. create strength, cure
chronic coughs and colds and strength
en- weak lungs. If Vinol fails to give
satisfaction, we return your money
without question" Moss Pharmacy.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It fa tr
 PreservinR Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char coal Is the safest and most efficient disinfectant and puBifier in nature, but few realize its value when taken into the human system for the same cleans Ing purpose.
 Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of 1t the better; 1t is nos a drug at all. but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking. drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and i'm proves the complexion. it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic
 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; 1t disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another. but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money Is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges: they are composed of the finest powdered Will low charcoal and other harmless anti septics in tablet form or rather In the form of large, pleasant tasting lo- zenRes, the charcoal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of these loxenges will soon tell in q much Improved condition of the general health, better complex- ion. sweeter breath and purer blood. and the beauty of 1t is, that no possi. ble harm can result from their contin- ued use. but on the contrary. great benefit.
 A Buffalo physician in speaking of the benefits of charcoal says: 'T ad- wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomacm and bowels. and to clear the complex lon and purify the breath. mouth and throat; I also believe the liver Is great ly benefited by the daily use of them: they cost put twenty-five cents box at drug stores. and although h some sense a patent preparation, yet I be- lieve I get more and better chaFcoaT in Stuarts Charcoal LozenGes than in any of the ordinary. charcoal tablets."
