FOR DELICATE CHILDREN

A Mothers Letter to Mothers.
Mrs. E. W. Cooper of Bloomfield.
N. J., says. "My child, seven years
old, had bad cold and was weak
and quite run down in health. She
had been in this condition for about
six weeks when I began giving her
Vinol. It was wonderful help to the
child, breaking up her cold quickly
and building up her strength beside.
I have also found yinol a most excel
lent tonic for keeping up the chill
dren's strength during siege OF
whooping cough"
Vinol is a wonderful combination
Of two world-famed tonics-the medi-
cinal body building elements of cod
liver oil and iron for the blood, there
fore It is a perfectly safe medicine
for children, because it is not a
patent medicine, everything In it is
printed on every package, so mothers
may know what they are giving their
little ones.
Therefore we ask every mother Of
a weak, sickly or ailing child in this
vicinity to try Vinol on our guarantee.

Hin had attempted to use.
 Regarding Mir. Hin's claim that there is a. bill to pension Confederate soldiers somewhere buried in the ar chives of Congress, r. Donovan said:
 ut is strange thing that fifty should attempt to get back to Con- gress by appealing to sectional hat reds long ago dead and buried. He knows that the constitution forbids any such bill. No committee would report such a bill No clerk would read it. It would be like so much waste paper.
 T ask you, gentlemen, if that is fair tactics, for MT. Hill to come to you, in a time when so many matters of first class importance press upon the attention of the country, to tell you that he ought to go back to Congress, to prevent me from voting g. bill to pension Confederate soldiers, bill that could not possibly have a serious place in any scheme of legtslation."
