In that time | have sentenced

whether they were regular on their

WORTH MORE THAN MONEY.

Here is an instance where a few
words of advice by a friend helped
more than a gift OF 81 900 would.
Mrs. II. Hartmann who lives in Al
bany, N. Y, who was in bad health
for years and is now strong and Wig
orous, says in letter:
Il was in a rundown condition for
about five years until this spring.
when 7 learned what a good tonic and
strengthener Vinol is. 1t is certainly
the best tonic l have ever used and
1t has done wonders for me-"
1t is very important for all who
are not feeling just right, to build up
their strength this spring by taking
our delicious cod liver and iron rem
edy without oil, Vinol
There is no better time than right
now, for Vinol both enriches and pur-
ifies the blood and craates new
strength. People who have trouble,
some coughs, no appetite, can't sleep
find Vinol exactly what they need tt
build them up. We guarantee Vino
to satisfy you and will pay back you
money if it does not.-Robert's Phar
macy.

COFFEE HURTS
One in Three.

1t is difficult to make people be-
lieve that tea and coffee are poison
to at least one person out of every
three, but people are slowly finding
1t out although thousands OF them
suffer terribly before they discover
the fact
"A New York hotel man say: Each
time after drinking coffee l became
restless, nervous and excited, so that
| was unable to sit five minutes in
one Place, was also inclined to vomit
and suffered from loss of sleep, which
got worse and worse.
"A lady said that perhaps coffee was
the cause OF my trouble, aud sug-
gested that l try Postum. l laughed
at he thought that coffee hurt me,
but she insisted so hard that finally
had some Postum made. l have been
for l noticed that all my former ner-
vousness and irritation disappeared. I
began to sleep perfectly, and the Pos
tum tasted as good or better than
the cid coffee, so what was the use
OF sticking to a beverage that was
injuring me?
One day on an excursion up the
country l remarked to a young lady
friend on her greatly improved ap-
pearance. She explained that some
time before she had quit using coffee
and taken Postum. She had gained
q number of pounds and her former
palpltation of the heart, humming in
the ears, trembling of the hands anG
legs and other disagreeable feelings
had disappeared. She recommended
me quit coffee and take Postum
and was very much surprised to find
that l had already made the change
"She said her brother had also re-
ceived great benefits from leaving of
coffee and taking on Postum" There's
a reason.
Ever read the above letter? A new
one appears from time to time. They
are genuine, true, and full Of human
interest. .>.....

The use of calomel has been stopped
in thousands of homes. Dodson's Liv-

tonic that is a perfect substitute for
calomel in curing constipation and

sons Liver Tone is absolutely harm
less and it's use is not followed by
nausea and another alta k OF consti-

Bruces drug store has sold so
much Dodson's Liver-Tone and it has

that they guarantee to give any per-

find it perfect substitute for calo-

is necessary.
