WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
vinoI for Rundown People.

If any one person should know the Value of medicines 1t is the druggist who dispenses them and from our ex- perience we want to say if people in this vicinity only knew the value of Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron tonic (without oiD at this season of the year, we would not be able to supply the demand.
 This is because Vino1 is 8 combina- ton of the two most world famed tonics, namely the medicinal curative clements of cods' flyers without the oil, and iron for the blood.
 Vinol tones up the digestive organs. purifies and enriches the blood, pro- notes healthful sleep and normal appetite.
 Old people, delicate children, run down overworked and tired women, should try a bottle of Vinol with the understanding that your money will be returned if it does not help you. Broadway Pharmacy, G. G. Engler. Norwich, Conn.

ONLY SAFEGUARD
 AGAINST SMALLPOX
Generally Recommended by Secretary Townsend of State Board of Health.

The continued presence Of small pox in the state" says Dr. Joseph H. Townsend, secretary of the state board of health. ia the monthly bulletin is sued by the board Monday, makes 1t a9sfe necessary to call attention to the importance of a more general vac e4nAtfon against smallpox. During the past fall the disease has prevailed ex- eeasf7ely in the eastern part of the state, the extreme nlilGness of the cases did not come under the care Of q physician, contributing to it's spread
 ~r~~he experience of a hundred years throughout the civilized world has proved the absolute protection against smallpox afforded by successful vac- esaa15on with reliable lymph and re- peateS with sufficient frequency, The pro+ectiea secured by single vacoi~ nation is not perpetual in all persons Therefore 8 re-vaccination should be had after g few years, especially Il the disease Is prevalent, All men of experS@nce are agreed that no Quaran- tine, however rigid and well carried out, win always prevent the spread or smallpox. There are always mild, un- recognized cases which never see physician and which go on spreading disease after the severe cases are o1zmrantined How easy the disease may be contracted Is shown by aE incident in New London recently, where a homeless woman with two children suffering from smallpox spent the night in a railroad station, expos ing many travellers to infection. Guar anime has not stamped out scarlet fe- yer or diphtheria and it will not stamp out Su1aaIpox- The expense to a com n1un5rT of maintaining a strict quar- anime is enormous.
 The outbreak of smallpox in Nau- ga1Dck and Willinlanhc last year cost the public treasuries of those towns over $50 GOO in addition to the loss to individuals The protection afforded by successful vaccination is so cer- tain. while quarantine is 30 intellectual and expensive. that in some states the Quarantning of smallpox has been dis continued and Lhe burden of protect ing himself put on the individual and not upon the Fnblic. Houses are pla- carded and the public warned to get vacc1nated- In this way the money expended for isolation hospitals, spe- cia1 guards, special fees, and so forth. is saved f0r a much better public use. acduatior and vaccination alone will prevent smallpox

Robert L. Brown cut his foot very badly last
week when fitting up stove wood for his grand
father, L. C. Cummings. The schools in
town begin one month too early. The chill
dren have to travel through the mud for q
month. There is too much red tape in the
country towns. The pupils OF the old red and
yellow schoolhouses are still in the lead. P.

the Lane Tuesday. ...F L. Blanchard, assist
ant R. F. D. carrier under John lancaster, put

We think John needs q rest. C. A. Bowdoin
of Mt. Heagan has been in the Lane with his
delivery wagon delivering groceries. He re-
ports the roads in the worst shape for years.
He had to unload his wagon twice on his
route. Billy Young took q small load of
pressed hay to Frankfort Wednesday :. C. B.
Cummings is at home from Searsport, where
he has been employed in carpentering. Ros-
coe G. Hartman lost his horse in very De-
culiar way. He was at the station loading
car with spool wood when the down train ran
into the station. Mr.. Harriman's son -in-law
took the horse by the bits and the horse reared
on its hind legs and fell dead. Some think
that fright caused the death of the horse.
Eugene Young went to Frankfort Wednesday
to make up raft of logs to be lowed to Bel.
fast for parties at that place.
