A neighbor asked me to try Vinol and after tak- ing two bottles my strength returne 1 am gaining flesh, it has built up my healith and I am fecling fine for a woman of my age, so I get around and do my housework.” The reason: Vinol was so success{ul in Mrs, Wickershain's. case was De- cause it contains beef and cod liver peptones, iron and manganese pepto- ¢ mates and glycerophosphates, the very . elements needed to build up a weak- ened run-down system and create strength. Rjght here in New Britain we have seen such excellent results from Vinol that it is a pléasure to know it is do- ing so much good for old people in other ,parts of the country. ¥ “%ne Clark & Brainerd Co., Drug- | <Hexpman Drug.! re.

Gentlemen: is tHe matter with the Berlin That the smallpox situa- tion n the town of Berlin is serious, | # rious matter, goes Some three, or_ four, dozen of our people that are i fllc habit of going about attending tc their usual occupation are deprived of the privilege of earning a living be- ! cuuse they, or some members of their houschold have smallpox.

'This puts it entirely on a financial basis. and says nothing about the distress of those of us who arc compclled to endure the present con- dition of affairs. Now then, somebody, blundered. fected. o0i—Ves A or Dr. B, but it is a fact that the town of Reriin has several cases of smallpox and it is the business of somebody to protect those who are well against those who are sick. All our officials are dodging the issue. The selectmen say they have nothing to do with it, that it is up to the health of- ficer, and the health officer says he can o nothing without the assistance o7 the attending physician. The state board of heaith say they are not re- sponsible, and the attending physician it each cases denies all responsibility. ! Now then. who is to blame? T do not know.- But I do know., and do feel ithat it is the business of the sc men of the town to protect the citizens of the town, and if I was a sclectman and did not have authority 1 would teke authdrity.
