Spots, How to Remove Easily.

Here's a chance, Miss Freckle-
face, to try a remedy f o r
freckles with the guarantee of a
reliable dealer that it will not cost
you a penny unless it removes the
freckles; while il it does give you
a clear complexion the expense is
trifling.
Simply get an ounce of othine-
double strength from VIM. S.
Lloyd, and a few applications
should show you how easy it is to
rid yourselfof the homely freckles
and get a beautiful complexion.
Rarely is more than one ounce
needed for the worst case.
Be sure to ask the druggist for
the double strength othine as this

guarantee of money back if it fails
to remove freckles. 4l-etc.

HOW CHRONIC COUGHS
Are Being Cured by Vinol.

Did you ever cough for a month?
Then just think how distressing 1t
must be to have a cough hang on for
three months.
Mrs. Maria Primrose, Of 81 Newell
Street, Brooklyn, N. Y, says: 81 had
a very heavy cold which settled into
a chronic cough, which kept me
awake nights for fully three months,
and felt tired all the time because my
rest was broken so much. The effect
of taking your cod liver and iron rem
edy, Vinol, is that my cough is gone.
/ can now get a good nights rest, and
] feel much stronger in every way"
1t is the combined action of the
medicinal elements, Gods livers, aided
by the blood-making and strength
creating properties of tonic iron which
makes Vinol so efficient in curing
chronic coughs, colds and bronchitis
at the same time building up the
weakened, rundown system.
Try a bottle of Vinol, with the I'M
derstanding that your money will
be returned If it does not help you.

Young Bill, the government
horse, was shown at the Winches-
ter horse show on Monday and
was the sensation of the show. He
attracted a large crowd, and by his
fine style, his wonderful action
and his excellent condition he was
the center of an admiring throng
of people. Another horse of con-
siderable merit and which made
an excellent show was GlenwOOd
Chief, owned by Charles Huls,
while Sumpter's Clark Chief also
came in for a considerable amount
of admiration.
The large Combination Stake
for saddle and harness horses,
opened by the Montgomery
County Fair Association, Incor-
porated, and which will be shown
in Mt. Sterling in July is the
greatest proposition ever offered
to saddle horse people, and if they
fail to fill it they must forever
after hold their peace. This stake
is offered for $4,000, the largest
amount ever offered in this State,
and the entrance fee is given at
500. There should be at least
thirty nominations in this Stake,
and horsemen cannot fail to take
advantage of it, if they are real
ly in earnest about wishing to
show for large sum of money.
