A RELIABLE MEDICINE.
An Opinion that Should be of Interest
to Every Person in Henderson.

So many patent medicines and adver-
tised cures are now offered to the public
that our readers should be glad to know
the opinion OF a man who has spent
years in handling them and profit by his
advice,
Our local druggist, Mr. W. W. Parker,
SAYS: CATER having sold drugs, and all
kinds and makes of medicines for so many
years, naturally we have learned some
thing about them-their value and power
to cure, and we want to say to the read
ers of the GOLD LEAF that if the people
of Henderson only realized the real cura-
tive and streng th-creating power of our
cod liver oil preparation, Vinol, we would
not have clerks enough in our store to
fill the demand for it
Continued Mr. Parker, "You see, Vinol
is not patent medicine, and it actually
contains all the fe-giving, body building
and strength creating properties Of cod
liver oil actually taken from fresh Gods
livers. but without drop Of the system
clogging, nauseating oil. Einol makes
rich. red blood, aud tones up and invig-
crates every organ in the body.
In the strongest manner we unhesltat-
ingly endorse and guarantee Einol to in
crease the appetite, cure stomach trOu-
bles, give strength and renewed vitality
to the aged, build up puny children and
rundown persons, make the weak
strong, cure chronic coughs, colds and
bronchitis or refund to the purchaser
every dollar paid for it.
"This shows our faith in Ninol, and we
can only ask the people of Henderson to
try sVinol on our guarantee" ". W.

The Hays System Of Tailoring.

The clothing do not make the man,
but the we'll dressed man makes a
good impression for himself by the
neatness of his attire No necessity
for extravaganza or the display OF
foppishness. In these days OF modern
methods in tailoring one can be well
dressed on little money. All that is
necessary is to exercise taste and
Judgment in the buying. The young
man who desires to be we'll dressed
or the old one either, for that mat
ter-will be interested in the adver-
tisement Of L. E. Hays & Co., the
well-known merchant tailors of Gin
cinnati, Ohio, which is published on
the sixth page of this paper. The
Hays System of Tailoring by apply
ing "Modern Methods" insures the
best results. That is the testimony
of their customers-and there are
many of them hereabouts. Ii you de-
sire the highest quality of tailoring
service at moderate price, it will pay
you to investigate the Hays System
the Modern Methods of tailor
ing. The E. G.. Davis & Sons Com
pany represent them in Henderson
and have an unusually attractive
assortment of spring and summer
styles from which to select. They
will take pleasure in showing their
samples whether you wish to order a
suit or not

The Contemporary Club.

The Contemporary Club met with
MIR. ". S. Parker Monday night. The
attendance was the largest OF any
meeting yet held nor has more edi-
Tying and enjoyable evening been
spent by the Club. Papers were read
by Prof. Akers on "The Sanity of
Hamlet" and by DR.. Coggeshall on
.'The Psychological Phenomena of the
Subliminal Self These brought out
interesting discussions and were pro-
nounced among the finest papers
that have been presented. Prof Akers
inclined to the opinion that Hamlet
was not insane-he feignred insanity
for purpose. There was method
in his madness" but so true was the
counterfeit that it was believed by
many to be genuine. The paper of
DR.. Coggeshall was out OF the ordi-
nary and while. it did not have to do
with ghosts many strange and unac-
cOuntable circumstances were cited to
show that man has d subconscious.
or subliminal self, as we'll as a con-
scious self. The phenomena manifest
ing itself in various forms to bear out
this idea he grouped under different
headings as hypotism, spiritualism,
mental telepethy, dreams, etc. But
we shall not undertake to discuss Dr.
Coggeshalls paper lest we do him in
justice. By a vote of the Club its
publication in the GOLD LEAF was re-
quested and in a future issue we will
give our readers the opportunity to
read it for themselves.
The Club accepted an invitation to
hold the next meeting with DR.. +. r.

If not, he thought it possible to get

ed as being available and Mr.. Pou
was shown these. 1t was thought
that a suitable site could be had

course has nothing to do with the
selection of n site, but he desired to
be in possession OF definite knowledge
on the subject so as to be able to
work the more intelligently in put
ting his bill through for Henderson.
If the Government is committed to
the purchase of site an official will
be sent from Washington to pass
upon same and it may be accepted
or rejected, depending upon whether
it comes up to Government require
ment or not. The thing to do is for
the people of Henderson to decide
