John II Buck, Of the old 18th,
" II town Monday and stated
that his wife Narrowly escaped
being badly burned on The day
before. While standing before
an open fireplace, Mrs. Buck s
skirt ignited and but for the
prompt action of Mr.. Buck and
his son in putting on the fire
with their hands, she must have
suffered either death or severe
injury. 1t is a wonder that ey-

Warning.
New York Board of Health
Issues Warning against
Radium Quacks.

In regard to radium, the rare
and expensive metal, as a cure
for cancer, the New York Board
Of Health last week sent out a
warning from which we clip the
last paragraph:
THUS far there is practically
no proof that radium has finally
cured any one case Of advanced
and disse minated cancer. There
is every reason to believe that
the popular interest aroused in
the radium treatment OF cancer
will be utilized by large num-
Der CT dishonest money-getting
establishments conducted by IN
diylduals with little or no radi-
UNI, and who have no knowledge
Of its use. This has been the
experience in Europe, where the
popular enthusiasm about radi-
um appeared earlier than 1t did
here. The great danger, Of
course, in all these cures is the
valuable time which may be
wasted, thus frequently dissipat-
ing all chances Of cure by surgi-
zeal neans."

of selling stamps at fairs for the bene-

LITTLE BOY
WEAK AND SlCKLY
Mother Tells How Her Little
Son Was Made a Strong,
Healthy Boy by VinoI After
a Severe Sickness.

New York City.-"About FIVE years
ago my little boy, then seven years old,
was very Ill with gastritis, then he con-
tracted measles from the other children,
pneumonia soon followed, and there
seemed no hope of saving his life. How
ever, we fought off the disease and he
recovered, but was in a very weak and
delicate condition.
"The doctor prescribed cod liver oil,
but his little stomach swelled up like a
drum. and the doctor said there was no
cure for him. / decided to try Vinol,
as I had used it myself with splendid
results, and it seemed to agree with him.
That blcated condition soon disappeared,
and now he is strong, healthy boy,
thanks to Vinol. Mrs. THOMAS FITz-
GERALD, 1880 Park Ave, NewYork City.
In all cases where the healing, cura-
tive, tissue building influence of cod liver
oil, or the strengthening, blood
making properties of tonic iron are
needed, Vinol gives immediate benefit,
for it is easily assimilated and accepta-
BILE to the weakest stomach, because it
contains no oil or grease, and tastes
delicious.
