 T am a Methodist Minister and suffered from broken down nerves loss of appetite and sleep1essness was weak, my circulatio was very poor, and l was not able to do my duty in my Parish as I felt I should. :. I had tried various remedies but did not seem to get any better. Throueh Mir. Gatlin of Bearden, Ark, learned of Vinol, and it built me up. I re- gained my appetite, can sleep better and do more work"
 There is no secret about vinoI It derives its power to build LID the overworked, brokendown, nervous sys- tenn from beef and cod liver peptones iron and manganese peptonates, and glycerophosphates, etc, which it con- tains.
 Anyone in Norwich who wishes to try Vinol can do so with the under standing that we will return their money if they are not satisfied.

 A decision handed down by Judge Chester w. Barrows, of the superi- or court, is of special interest to West erly, as well as to all other towns in the state It was in the case of Ste phen A. Pooler against the town of Johnston and holds that as a matter of law the town is not liable for dam ages arising from an accident caused by a lack of railing alongside prop CT location of the rail is outside the strip of road constructed by the state MT. Pooler was driving over the Watertown road in Johnston last No- vember and in passing an automobile went over an embankment- He sued the town for damages. The defend ant pleaded that a position of the highway was constructed by the state board of public roads under chapter 84 of the general laws and that .he highway was under the control and supervision of the state board.
 To this plea the plaintiff deInurred on the ground that the lack of railing was on the portion of the highway out side the strip constructed by the state and argued that the town was bound to keep this outside portion safe for travel and to provide a rail at the side of the road as protection against going over the embankment.
 Court decided that the town of Johnston had no duty to keep any DOT tion of the highway in question in repair mad safe for travel, and hence was not bound to provide a railing as alleged in the declaration. The plea states good denfece and the demur- Ter thereto was overruled.
