COD LIVER OIL AND IRON
Two Most World Famed Tonics
Combined in VinoI

Cod Liver oil and Iron have proved
to be the two most successful tonics
the world has ever known-iron for
the blood and the medicinal curative
elements of cod liver oil as a strength
and tissue builder for body and
nerves, and for the successful treat
ment of throat and lung troubles.
Two eminent French chemists dis.
covered a method OF separating the
curative medicinal elements OF the
Gods livers from the oil or grease
which is thrown away but to these
medicinal elements tonic iron is now
added. thus combining in Vinol the
two most world famed tonics.
AS body-builder and strength ere.
ator for weak, rundown people, for
feeble old people. delicate children,
to restore strength after sickness !;
and for chronic coughs, colds, bron-

Welcome Vaudeville Ladd

Somerset county people who are at
this time eating a luscious dark col
ored grape called "Vergens," will be
interested to know how this fruit came
to have its present name In about
1855. Welcome NJ Laid. formerly of
Winthrop, Me. was being shown
through a large vineyard in Vergens,
VT His attention was called by his
friend, the owner. to Z grape he had
never seen before. He was told that
ii was a new product resulting from
two splendid varieties which had been
grown there for several years. Mr..
Ladd was asked to give it a name. and
complied by naming it for the town,
Vergens, in which the vineyard was
located.
From this vineyard cuttings were
sent to other grape growing sections
and it is now grown in thousands of
vineyards from New England to Ohio.
Mr.. Laid died in 1887 His daugh-
ter, Lizzie A., came to this town to
