LISH WHAT vlNOL HAS DONE
FOR OUR BOY,
So that Other BrattIeboro Parents
May Be Benefited as We Have
Been?"

Such requests are continually COM
ing to us, and we have over and over
again published in the Reformer for
the benefit of Brattleboro people, not
only our opinion of Vinol and why it
is so far superior to all of the other
tonics and cod liver oil preparations,
but unquestionable testimony from
our best class of citizens and physi-
clans proving its wonderful curative
and strengths creating properties.
Mrs. Hoskins writes: Our boy
since a child has suffered terribly
with bronchitis during cold weather.
For years we used cod liver oil,
emulsions and other medicines, which
upset his stomach, gave only tempo
rary relief, and did not cure. Vinol
was recommended and we tried it,
and l am thankful to say he is en-
tirely cured and in better health than
he has been for years. i wish you
would publish this in the Reformer

From Scarborough to Dover 1t Loosens
Coast of England.
London.-A tidal food on the east
coast Saturday morning caused an en-
ormous amount of damage at watering
places from Scarborough as far south
as Dover. Eight hundred feet of the
pier at Scarborough, which cost $175,-
900, were swept away and the prom
enades on the sea front were broken
up. Nearly all parts of the town of
Yarmouth were inundated, hundreds of
houses were flooded and the inhabi-
tants were obliged to vacate the lower
floor. The esplanade and beach gar
dens were swept bare Big blocks Of
concrete were tossed about, wrecking
everything they came in contact with.
Similar destruction was caused else
where. Sea walls were washed away
and waves swept over adjoining es-
planades, destroying numerous costly
permanent attractions, inundating
houses, churches and stores, and caus-
ing immense losses both to corpora
lions and individuals.
