SENSIBLE CUSTOM
Spring Best Time to Renew Blood.

Spring is natures season for re-
newing the life of things. and for
sweeping away the impurities that
have accumulated in. the winter.
This custom of taking remedy for
the blood during spring months is
based on hard common sense. Vinol,
our delicious cod liver and iron prep
aration without oil, stands far above
all other spring medicines in value
because it contains the elements
needed to enrich and purify the blooG.
J. A. Thiel of Bronx Borough, n. Y,
says, Feeling the need of a good
spring medicine to purify my blood
and build up my strength started us
ing Ninol in April. 1t has done me so
much good in every way that | be
lieve it is in all respects just as val.
liable a remedy as you claim
We guarantee that Ninol will build
up and strengthen all weakened, run
down persons Try Ninol-We will give
back your money if it does not salts
fly YOU perfectly. Bowditch, Webster
& Co, Druggists, Augusta, Me.

Jumps in the market for the former stand

been no important reaction in any instance.
The gains have all been held. which would

been based upon something moro sub.
