VINOL SETTLES
The Cod Liver Oil Question

No one will dispute the curative and
strength creating value of cod liver OIL
For centuries it has been recognized as
the grandest OF all healing and body
building agents for the wasted human
strength and vitality.
Yet owing to the heavy, greasy oil
which envelopes the medicinal elements,
and which has no value either as a food
or medicine, many patients weakened
by disease cannot digest 1t either in it's
raw form or an emulsion and others
will not take it on account OF It's disa-
agreeable odor and taste-consequently
Its value Is lost.
Now the process discovered by two
eminent French chemists--Morgues and
Gautier-should interest every person in
Brattleboro, for all of the tonic, body
building and curative elements Of cod
liver oil are now separated from the
greasy, useless oil, and given to the
people in delicious Vinol For this rea-
son 1t Is fast superseding old fashioned
cod liver oil and emulsons
AS body-builder and strength creator
for old people, weak women, delicate
children and after sickness and all pull
monary diseases, it is recommended by
over 5000 of the leading druggists OF the
United States as the best.
Your money back II II does not do all
we claim. Geo. E. Greene, druggist.
NOTE-While we are sole agents for
Vinol in Brattleboro, it is now for sale
at the leading drug store in nearly every
| town and city in the country. Look fol-

Unknown.
One of the most serious fires that has
visited Springfield, VT, in many years was
discovered about o'clock yesterday
morning and was not extinguished until
O'Clock. The fire was confined to the
Commonwealth building. one of the larg-
est in town. The loss is estimated at
$4,000 and is partly covered by insurance.
The fire was discovered by Mrs. Marie
Furber who, with her little daughter. had
rooms on the second floor, adjacent to her
women's furnishing store. 1t was then
blazing fereely near the entrance to her
store. An alarm was promptly given. A
factory whistle is the only fire alarm sys-
tenn in the village, and this summoned the
firemen, who did very efficient work.
Mar. and Mrs. John Wright, who oc-
cupied a tenement on the fourth floor.
did not hear the alarm, and they were
forgotten until the fire had been burning
for some time. They were awakened, the
little children hastily wrapped in blankets;
and were rescued with difficulty from the
burning building.
