ADVICE ABOUT GRIP
How to Escape Its Dangerous After
 Effects.

How to Escape Its Dangerous After
 Effects.
 With so much grip in town this winter few words Of advice will not be out of place.
 First, grip is no trif1e. It's after ef- fects are often very serious.
 Second grip is particularly bad on children, old people and all who are not in the best of health. { Third, grip hangs on--takes. away your energy and appetite-leaves you feeling weak and played out That is a dangerous condition.
 The best thing you can do is to build yourself np with Wtnol, our de- licious cod liver and iron preparation without oil, It tones up the system and makes you strong and vigorous.
 Read this letter from R. J. LoWn, oneonta, N. Y.: T had an attack of grip last January which left me in a very badly weakened and rundown condition. Lately began te take Vtnol and l find it strictly all right, It began to help me from the very first and now l am as well as ever"
 Remember, we guarantee Ninoi to do just what we say-We nay back your money if 1t does not. Broa dWay Pharmacy. c, G. Engler. Norwich Ct

 Glad of MIder Weather.
 No man in Danielson was more ap- pTeciatlve of the beautiful mild weath- CT of Saturday than George s. Brown, superintendent of the Crystal Water company's plant. For four weeks MT. Brown has been on the go from 10 to F hours a day, Sundays included, keeping up a continuous fight against Jack Frost an6 troubles of his crea- tion. Saturday MT Brown and his faithful assistants practically 'caughi up with the frozen pipes troubles, and the balmy weather indicated that there is to be little more of it this winter. Few winters have been marked by such difficulty with the water system as the one now closing, but during it all there has been small ground for complaint, as the men under Superin- fendept Browns direction have fol- lowed the freeze ups closely and given relief at the earliest possible moment. And in doing this they have been called upon to face zero temperatures and dig through endless yards of frog en ground.
