A GREAT LAWYER SAID

"lf had my way" a famous law

health as contagious as measles"
Just think of it-suppose you could
catch good health as easily as you

for doctors and druggists.
Mrs. T. A. Trapp, who lives in Ar
lington, N. j., has, found the next
best thing to catching good health.
She says: "a few weeks ago | con-
tracted cough which annoyed me
a great deal as l was badly run down
at the time. 1t kept me awake at
night and distressed me greatly. AT.
ter two weeks of this began to take
Vinoi and one bottle not only caused
