statesman sprains a lung announcing
this or that. Our land, once safest of
all bets, has moped a long, long while {;

A Very Delicate Child Was
Made Strong and Robust
by Taking Vinol.

Aiken. S. C.-"My little daughter
was thin, delicate and aiIing. l was
very much worried over her condi-
ton. | heard about Vinol and decided
to try it. and l must say the results
were simply marvellous. Her appe-
tite improved. she gained in weight,
her color came back in her cheeks.
and all my friends comment on the
change, as she is now one of the
healthiest children in town. All
mothers who have delicate, puny. all
ing children should try Vinol. Mrs.
L. w. George, 1119 Newberry St,
Aiken, S. c.
The reason Vinol is so successful
in such cases is because it contains
the tissue building and medicinal eIe-
ments of Gods livers' without oil,
aided by the blood making, strength
creating properties of tonic iron and
beef peptone. $1.00 per bottle guaran-

Memories of Old DAYS
In This Paper Ten Years
Ago Today

That every person who dies from
diphtheria dies an unnatural death was
the unusual theory propounded by
County Health Commissioner J. Z.
King, in issuing a warning against
allowing a spread of the disease. DR..
King said that injection of antitoxin
within "a hours after the appearance
of symptoms, is a positive cure for
diphtheria, therefore all deaths from
this disease were unnecessary and IN
natural. Poverty is no excuse for
allowing the disease to get a grip on
one" asserted the county health Off
Ger, for antitoxin can be secured free
from the county health department
and in extreme cases each township
health officer is required to furnish
free medical aid"
