HAVE YOU WEAK
LUNGS?
Do You fear Consumption

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 Barre who have weak lungs and
chronic colds and coughs ?" said Mr.
Wells of Rickert & Wells, our local
druggists, to a Times reporter.
"A famous London physician has for
years urged his patients, when the
slightest tendency to consumption APP
peared, to take all the cod liver oil
possible into their systems, and physi-
clans everywhere have recognized its
value for coughs, colds, bronchitis, con-
sumption and all wasting diseases, but,
unfortunately, few could take it and DEF
rive any benefit from its use, on ac-
count Of the indigestibe grease which
1t contained.
Now" continued Mr.. Wells, ~ want
every person in Barre to know the
value Of our new cod liver oil prepara-
ton, Vinol. 1t actually contains in a
concentratedg form all of the body-build-
ING elements of cod liver oil actually
taken from fresh Gods liyers, without
drop of oil or grease to upset the
stomach and retard its work.
Therefore, wherever old-fashioned
cod liver oil or emulsions will do good,
Vinol viii do far more good. We guar
antee yinol will improve the appetite
strengthen digestion, make rich, red
blood, create strength, cure chronic
coughs and colds and strengthen weak
lungs.
sWe have letters from people who
have been given up to die in consump-
ton and claim TO have been cured by
Vinol. Among others is the following
| from Mrs. j. G. Brown OF Anderson
Ind;
Our daughter was on the verge Of

the endowment ceremonies and replied
in the affirmative, but in answer to
questions concerning specific obligations
he said he did not remember. He adj

last conference President Smith was sus-

against him in consequence Of his tes-
timony before the Senate Committee
that he was violating the laws of the
land. He could not say if Senator Smoot
