DR. J.. E. ENNIS
Atlanta, Ca, Physician Addresses the People of Montgomery on
 Matter of Health.

ITO Whom it May Concerh-Of late there has been a good deal of discus sion in regard to advertised medicines, their value and power to cure.
 T want to say to the people of Mont gomery that I believe the most valu- able cod liver oil preparation, the best bodybuilder, health restorer, and strength creator known to medicine to- day is Vinol.
 While Vinol does not contain the system clogging oil of old-fashioned cod liver oil and emulsions, it actually does contain all the curative medicinal principles of cod's liver in highly con centrated form. and it is delicious to take.
 "I advise Vinol in my practice. and find it has no equal for healing coughs, colds. bronchial troubles and sore lungs.
 q have used Vinol in many cases of indigestion mal-assimilatipn and for patients who were anaemic and run down. with splendid results. I have found Vinol to be boon 10 the aged, as it aids the enfeebled system to sus- tain life; it. induces appetite, and rest full sleep. it Is q real body builder, and thus prolongs life.
 T believe Vinol to be well worthy of any honest physicians endorsement.
 Our local druggist, E. G. Fowler, sells Vinol to the people of Montgomery on a positive guarantee if it fails to give satisfaction the entire purchase money will be refunded

was said that every man who is scepti- cal about the sincerity of the adminis- tration in its efforts to deal out "even handed justice" to the rebate givers is labelled by the magazine writers and lecturers as being in the pay of the railroads and opposed to the President.
 Some members of Congress said that if the President were can didate for renomination they would support him. because they be- lieved that he Is still the popular idol he was In 1904. Most of the Senators and Representatives are of the opinion that Mir. Roosevelt Is still as popular as he ever was, Some are doubtful whether ho would be as strong at the polls, in view of the deep hostility to having a President serve three terms.
 That the President Is not ready to embrace the view entertained by Mir Riis, if, indeed, he ever will be, is the view of many of the best informed law makers here. The statement was made by a person authorized to do so that MT. Roosevelt still stood by his state ment, made on election night, fin 1904, when, in the full flush of victory. he called in the representatives of the press and said;---
 "I am deeply sensible of the honor done me by the American people in thus expressing their confidence in what I have done and what have tried to do.@ appreciate to the full the solemn accountability this confidence imposes on me, and I shall do all that in my tower lies not to forfeit it.
 "on the fourth of March next I shall have served three and half years, and this three and half years, consti- tutes my first term. The wise custom which limits the President to two terms regards the substance and not the form, and under no circumstances will I be a candidate for or accept another nomination.

 The Foundation,

A Bay State belle talks thus about
 awhiIe a coffee drinker I was a suf- ferer from indigestion and intensely painful nervous headaches, from child hood.
 "seven years ago my health gave out entirely. I grew so weak that the ex- ertfon of walking, if only few feet, made it necessary for me to lie down. My friends thought I was marked for consumption--weak, thin and pale.
 T realized the danger l was in and tried faithfully to get relief from med fcines, till, at last, after having em- ployed all kinds of drugs, the doctor Acknowledged that he did not believe 1t was in his power to cure me
 ssWhile in this condition a friend in- duced me to quit coffee and try Pos tum Food Coffee, and I did so withou' the least hope that 1t would do me any good. l did not like 1t at first, but when it was properly made l found it was a most delicious and refresh ing beverage, I am especially fond oi it served at dinner ice-cold, witt cream.
 Tn a months time I began to i'm prove. and in q few weeks my indi- Eestion ceased to trouble me, and my headache stopped entirely. l am so like the same person, and l have so gained. in flesh that l am 15 pounds heavier than ever before

SURGEON PROBES LIVING BRAIN

Extracts steel With FOrceps When
 Powerful Magnet Fails.
 Philadelphia Special.
 Just as a dentist searches for the root of broken tooth. pr. w. w. Keen, chief surgeon at the Jefferson Hospital today, after a magnet failed to do it's work thrust a pair of forceps into the brain of a living man and twisted them about until they seized piece of steel for which the surgeon was seeking. He frightened his grip upon the handles, and then with a strong. slow pull drew out a silver of steel three inches long bent on one end into the shape of a fish hook.
 A flow of pus followed the extraction, and after a hot solution had been ap piled to the wound a tube was inserted into the brain to drain an abscess that had formed about the steel The tube will remain for several days. Then the wound will be closed. The patient is John Nail of Winston N. c. A steel link from broken belt struck him above the right ear six months ago. He apparently recovered, but recently was seized with convul- slons and mental alteration. Today 8 huge electro magnet was applied to the surface of the brain in the hope of re- moving the steel It failed and the surgeon resorted to forceps.
