right out of me, / can hardly drag
one foot after the other" said a rum
down, tired-out woman, the other day.
We want to say to every such per-
son in this vicinity. Don't blame the

a strengthening tonic and the very
best we know is Vinol which is CON-
bination of the two most world famed
tonics namely. the medicinal, curative
elements of cod liver oil and tonic
iron, for the blood.
A case has just come to our atten-
ton from Vineland, N. j., Mrs. Allen

good word for Vinol, for it restored my
strength and vigor after l had been in
badly rundown condition for severa
months Every one who is broken in
health ought to know that Vinol vii

Try a bottle of Vinol with the UNI
derstanding that your money Will be
returned, if it does not help you. Bow

The First Gray
Hair Sign OF Age

A harmless remedy. made from
common garden sage. quickly re-
stores gray hair to natural color.
The care of the hair. to prevent it
from losing its color and lustre, is
just as important as to care for teeth
to keep them from diseoloring. Why
spend money for cosmetics and
creams to improve the complexion,
and yet neglect Your hair, when gray
hair is even more conspicuous and
suggestive of age than wrinkles or a
poor complexion? OF the two, it is
easier to preserve the natural color
and beauty of the hair than it is to
have good complexion.
All that Is necessary is the occa
sional use of Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy, a preparation of
common garden Sage and Sulphur,
combined with other valuable rem
edies for dry, harsh, faded hair,
dandruff, itching scalp and falling
hair After a few applications of
this simple, harmless remedy, your
hair will gradually be restored to its
natural color. in short time the
dandruff will be removed, and your
hair will no longer come out but will
start to grow as Nature intended it
should.
Don't neglect your hair, for it goes
further than anything else TO make or
mar your good looks. You can buy
this remedy at any drug store for
fifty cents d bottle. and your drug
gist will give Your. money back If you
are not satisfied after using. Pur-
chase bottle today. You will never
regret it when you realize the differ
ence it will make in your appearance.

Two UnknOWnM
Brutality Assault
Merton Knowles

Merton E. Knowles of Bolton Hill
is at the Augusta General hospital in
F., a eritiealN condition as the result of
a brutal assault upon him by two men
! of whom he cannot give sufficiently
accurate description to the police to
insure their apprehension.
Knowles, in company with Arthur
Robbins, has been operating a thresh-
ing machine and during the day.
Thursday, they We're working eon Hos
pital street. Late in the evening
Knowles and Robbins started to come
to the city and Robbins remained on
the corner by Haskelfs store, while
his companion went farther down
Cony street to Ben's fruit store for
some peanuts. When Knowles reached
the blacksmith shop of b. F. Jones,
according to his story. he was set up
on by two men, who knocked him
down and kicked him in the head and
body and then went through his
clothes. He states that one of the two
men. who was quite large. said to his
companion .He hasn't got any mon
|ey Lets kill him.
Then both men proceeded to kick
him again and finally hearing his
companion approaching left him.
Knowles was bleeding profusely and
was very weak but with Robbins as
sistance was able to reach the police
station, where he told his story to Of
ficer Burke. Officer Burke, as soon as
he got the injured man to a cot in
the woman's cell, saw that he was in
a bad condition and at once sum-
moned a physician and at the same
time sent two other officers to the
scene of the assault to look for traces
of the men who had committed the
assault. Knowles description of his
assailants was so indefinite that it af-
forded but little clue. All that he could
say was that one man was a very big
man, while the other was of medium
size.
Examination of Knowles by the physi-
clans disclosed an ugly bruse at the
back of the left ear with resulting con-
cussion, and several other blows, appar-
entity made with boot or fist upon the
left side of the face and head, which
had bled considerably. He advised that
the man be at once taken to the Angus
ia General hospital and he was rushed
there in Plummer's ambulance. The man
complained of his head and stomach and
was taken with severe vomiting spell
Immediately after being placed upon the
cot in the cell, which made it seem likely
that there were also internal injuries.
The officers are inclined not to believe
the holdup story and think that Knowles
may have been assaulted by some resi-
dent of his vicinity who had grudge
against him. 1t could not be learned,
however. that Kpowles had any enemies,
although there was report that he had
an alteration with a man a short time
before the assault occurred in which
both used strong language. Knowles is
about 40 years of age.
At 100 A. NJ. Friday. Mr.. Knowles
was reported to be comfortable and
it was believed there that the injuries
We're not so dangerous as at first
feared.
No arrests have vet bepn made.
