Four Reasons for Savings Bank
Prosperity

The ST. Johnsbury Republican gives
four reasons for the prosperity of the
Hyde Park Savings Bank. 1t says;
a special feature of this institution is
that ii gives local patrons the preference,
its loans are in Vermont. Thus IL has
not only advanced public interest, but has
done a safe and prosperous business
since its institution, eighteen years ago.
The assets only last week passed the mil
lion dollar mark and, we repeat, not a
single cent OF 1t invested out of Vermont.
In addition to this il has never lost a
dollar on a poor note. The progressive
increase OF deposits year after year has
been remarkable. This condition Of
things must be satisfactory in the ex-
IRENE to the energetic president, who is
recognized as a synonym of honest square
dealing, who possesses the practical
qualities essential TO success in all his
undertakings. and withal is a liberal
minded citizen, ever interested in village
town and state improvement. We write
from knowledge and personal observation.
This Bank pays 40. compounded semi
annually, on deposits of 500 or more,
remaining in the bank one full year.

THE REASON
Why George E. Greene Continues to Rec
ommend Vinol

Why George E. Greene Continues to Rec
ommend Vinol
First: Because it is not a patent medicine
and it contains besides tonic iron all of the
medicinal curative elements of cod liver oil
actually taken from fresh Gods livers, but
without a drop of oil to nauseate and upset
the stomach and retard its work. therefore,
wherever old-fashioned cod liver oil or emul-
sions will do good, Vinol will do far more
good.
Second; Because Vinol acts first upon
the stomach, creates a healthy appetite,
strengthens and tones up the digestive organs,
purifes and enriches the blood, and in a nat.
ural manner, restores health and strength.
Third Because Vinol contains no injurious
drugs to react upon the system; every in
gredient being named on the label, a patient
knows exactly what he is taking
Fourth: Because we never sold anything in
our store that gave such universal satisfac-
tion for old people, weak sickly women and
children, nursing mothers, and to build up
the system after severe sickness, and for
relieving hacking coughs, chronic colds, bron-
chitis and all throat and lung troubles.
Try Vinol on our guarantee. George E.
Greene, Druggist, Brattleboro, VT

The Royal Month and the Royal Disease.

Sudden changes of weather are especially
trying, and probably TO none more so than to
the scrofuous and consumptive. The progress
OF scrofula during a normal October is com.
monty great. We never think of scrofula-
its lunches, cutnaeous eruptions and wasting
OF the bodily substance-without thinking Of
the. great good many sufferers from it have
derived from Hoods Sarsaparila, whose radi.
cal and permanent cures of this one disease
are enough to make it the most famous med
icine in the world. There is probably not a
city or town where Hoods Sarsaparilla has
not proved its merit in more homes than one,
IN arresting and completely eradicating scrof-
to be feared as its near relative-consump.
tion.
