MOTHER SUPERIOR
 ROSARY HILL HOME
Tells How vinoI Restores Strength and Vitality to the Weak, Worn-0ut Ones in Her Charqe.

Rosary Hill Home, Hawthorne, N. Y. -"I have been at work among the sick and poor for nearly eighteen years, and whenever I have used Vinol for run down, weak or emaciated patients, they have been visibly benefited by it. One patient, young woman, was so weak and i'll she could hardly creep to my door for aid, and was leaning on friends arm. I supplied Vinol to her liberally and in a month when she returned to thank me I hardly recognized her. She was strong, her color charming and her cheeks rounded out. These words are uttered from my heart, in order that more people may know about Vinol, as there is nothing makes me happier in the world than to relieve the sick. ''- Mother M. ALPHoNsA LATHRoP, o. $. D., Hawthorne, NY.
 Such disinterested and reliable testi- mony should convince everyone of the merits of Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron tonic to build up health and strength for all weakened and nervous conditions, whether caused from over work, worry or chronic coughs and colds If Vinol fails to benefit We return your money.

Immunity of Children.

Professor Armbruster asserts that the reason very young children are relatively immune to infectious dis eases is that their hearts beat so much more rapidly than those of older per sons that the blood flows swiftly through the arteries; and this swift ness of flow makes it difficult for micro-organisms to gain foothold in the blood stream.
