VINOL MAKES
GOOD BLOOD
Positive-Convincing Proof

Many so-called remedies for amaze
mia are only so in name. Their MAX
ers are afraid to prove their claims by
telling what their medicines contain.
The only way to be honest with the
people is to let them know what they
are paying for. Here is the Vinol
formula. When the doctor knows
what a medicine contains, it ceases
to be patent" medicine.
Y Cod Liver and Beef Peptones, Iron and
e Manganese Peptonates, Iron and AM
r1onum Citrate, Lime and Soda Glycero-
phosphates, Cascarin.
ANY doctor will tell you that the in
gradients of Vinol, as named above.
will enrich the blood and Danish amaze
mia and create strength. When the
blood is pure and rich and red, the
body is strong and robust.
You can prove this at our expense
because your money will be returned

WON'T COMMIT HIMSELF
TO DRY AMENDMENT
Not Pledge Himself In Advance
On the Question.

Westmoreland Davis, candidate for
governor, replied yesterday to the
query sent out by the Antt-Satoon
league TO the three candidates in the
field for the gubernatorial nomination.
In his reply he reproduced a letter
written by him some time ago to c. y.
Quisenberry, president of the Anti
Saloon League of Orange. Virginia,
setting forth his principles upon which
his candidacy rests, and his attitude
toward the prohibition question. This
letter was published in The Virginian
in full at the time of it's being made
public.
In addition to this, however. Mr..
Davis declines to commit himself on
the point as to whether or not he
favors a prohibition amendment to
the constitution OF Virginia. He says:
Again. in reply to your inquiry as
to whether favor a prohibition
amendment to the constitution of vir-
ginia, the character OF which amend
ment is not dehned beg frankly to
say that as much as L desire the great
honor of election to the governorship
OF Virginia. ! am unwilling to seek It
at the price Of pledglng myself in adj
vance upon SO grave question, upon
which executive conclusion should be
had only after conference, mature de-
liberation and public discussion.
