ANAEMIA OR POOR BLOOD.
Don't Wait Too Long to Correct It-As

Don't Wait Too Long TO Correct I-As
it often Leads to Something Worse
Anaemia is defective state of the
blood in which there is a lack either
in quantity or quality OF the little red
corpuscles.
II may result from any cause that
serves to deplete the general system
and is recognized by a pale and bag
gard face-colorless lips, poor circu-
lation and short breath, and the sys-
TEN is at such low ebb that more Sc
rious diseases are easily contracted.
Anaemic people should eat plenty
of fruit, eggs, milk, meat, vegetables,
good butter and cream and whole
wheat bread, and as for medicine
nothing excels our delicious cod liver
preparation, VinoI, which is made by
a scientific extractive and concentra-
ting process from fresh Gods livers,
combining with peptonate -of-iron,
which is a needful constituent for the
blood, all the medicinal, healing,
body building elements of cod liver
oil, but no oil. Vinol is not a patent
medicine, you know what you are
taking as all it contains is named on
the label.
ANY anaemic or run down person in
Skowhegan who will follow the above
suggestions is sure TO be restored to
health and strength in a short time.
We will return your money II Vtnol

Formerly Lived in Cornyille.

The daily papers of last week con-
tain an account of an attack, by a
tramp, OH former Somerset county
lady, now living in Freeman. She
was formerly Miss Marian Cobb Of
Cornville, afterwards becoming Mrs.
Hutchins. The name in the news
report, Mrs. Searles, is that of a
second marriage. Though Mrs.

like fifty years ago, she has many
relatives here, Mr.. and Mrs. Ben

vile and Athens, with whom she has
frequently visited. The following is
the news dispatch referred TO.

Mike and who has been working for
Mrs. Abner Searles took offence at
something the old lady said or did
one morning recently and, moved by
the uncomfortable temper of his like,
gave her pummeling about the face

appearance.
A nearby neighbor heard the out
cry and went to her assist ance. She
was standing in the yard, but before
the neighbor reached her she fell TO
the ground, while Mike stood in the
doorway barring entrance. The old
lady was assisted to rise and to
return to the house, where Mike, who
was already prepared for flight, at
once took French leave. He was
seen later by several parties on the
road to Strong.
