hundred dollars and seemed to grow
worse instead of better each day. Be-
ing on crutches and forced to drive to the

sleepless nights and fearful hours of pain
Being advised by a friend l purchased
Smiths Uric-O prescription, took it home
and used it that day as directed.
Those fearful sciatic pains left me-
my blood seemed to let loose and flow
freely, I felt different and knew the next
morning I had found a cure, as 1 slept
and rested well all that night, something

never felt return of the disease. had no
use for crutches or cane since the first
days treatment,
I have since recommended Uric-O to
hundreds of friends and acquaintances

A prominent physician writes: am

power from the medicinal curative ele-
ments found in the Gods liver 1t is the
best strength creator and vitaliZer for
old people, weak women, children and the
convalescent that I ever saw"
Another physician writes: II could
cite many cases where health has been
restored in a surprisingly short time by
Vinol. I should be very sorry to have to
do without Vinol in my practice. 1t has
no equal for hard colds, throat and
bronchial troubles"
Now, when we tell you that we have
never sold in our store a remedy of
more remarkable curative and strength
creating power than Vinol for the weak,
the sick and the aged, and that If iC
fails to accomplish what we say it will
we will refund your money without
question, 1t shows you our faith in the
preparation.
Try Vinol on our guarantee. George
p. Greene, Druggist.

FRED MAGEAU HAS BEEN
AWARDED $4,000 DAMAGES
His Wife Sustained Fatal Injuries While
Aboard G. N. Train, Near Barnes
vile, Last Fall.

Crookston, Mimi, June 14-The
jury in the second case of Fred A.
Mageau of Minneapolis, against the
Great Northern for expense incurred
by the death of his wife, who was
injured in a wreck at Barnesville
last fall and who died here in a
hospital month ago, and for the
loss of her companionship, brought
in a verdict of $1,000. The suit
was for $500. With the verdict
of yesterday, this makes total of
$4,000 recovered by Mr.. Mageau
from the Great Northern. The jury
was out less than an hour in both
suits. ~
Immediately after this suit, Con-
gresham Steenerson, who represents
the plaintiff in both cases, and who
also represents the Mrs. H. B.
Lanager of this city, a widow of
H. B. Lanager, who was killed in
the Ojata, N. D., wreck on the
Great Northern, March 8, the same
wreck C.W.Andrew,a St. Paul paper
salesman, and others were killed,
made a settlement with the Great
Northern for $1,000. The suit was
brought for $4,000 and the settle
ment was made with Attorney
Mason of Fergus Falls, and A. C.
Wilkinson of this city, representing
i the Great Northern.
The special feature of this term
of court is the number of indict-
ments against saloon keepers who
! are charged with selling liquor to
minors. There are four cases in this
city and five from Fertile, every sa-
! loon keeper there. These will plead
in a day or two.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Mageau lived
in Bemidji two years ago, and both
were well known here. The verdict
against the road and in favor of Mr..
Mageau, is very favorably received
in this city.
