Norwich women who are wealk, run- down and suffer from the consequent effects of such a condition, will be interested in Mrs. Odell's leiter. She says: “I'ama farmers wife and was all run-down, weak, tired, and suffered from indigestion, and sometkmes it seemed as though I could not keep around and do my housework. 1 had taken many cines without benefit. One day I saw Vinol advertised and made up my mind to try it. I have taken four bottles and have gained seven pounds in weight, am much stronger, and feel many years younger than before Sarah Odell, Lockport, The reason Vinol builds up weak, run-down women 0 quickly is be- cause it contains a delicious combina- tion of most successful tonics, becf and cod liver peptones, iron and man- ganese peptonates and glycerophos- phates in a mild tonic wine. ‘We want to say to every weak, run- down, over-worked woman in_ Nor- wich that we will return your money short | ~ INJURED | Clinton E. Lane, who conducts a tire repair shop on Franklin street, was badly injured Thursday night on West Main street near the home of R. B. S. Washburn when the service car that he uses-in his business and which he was driving, crashed into an elec- tric light pole. It was not learned how the accident occurred. Harry Washburn heard the crash and found Mr. Lane partially out of the machine and uncopscious. He was taken from the machine and word was sent to Dr. Higgins who had him conveyed to the Backus hos- pital. As the ambulance was just called_out for an accident in Taft- ville Supt. Hutchins.went after Mr. Lane in his automobile. At the hospital it was found that Mr. Lane had his face lacerated, prob- ably by glass from the broken wind- shield, a bruise over the left eye and he was badly shaken up. The front of the machine was smashed consider: bly and one wheel was knocked off. Broken Leg and Fractured Ribs. Another one of those heartless, brutal, unmerciful acts of the auto- ist, who speeds along the highways re- gardless of the rights of others, leav- ing his victim seriously injured, or perhaps dying in the road, without the aid_which might be given him in his sufferings, occurred Thursday evening near Taff's station when James Car- penter, 45, of New Bedford, was struck by an automobile which did not stop but kept right on out of sight. Mr. Carpenter who is a painter by trade but out of work at the present time came to the Taft's station wait- ing room Thursday evening and asked | for something to eat saying that he had not eaten since moraing. Mr. N AUTO . ACCIDENT C. E. Lane Received Bruises About Face and Head When His Machine Crashed Into Electric Light Pole on West Main Street—Taken to Hospital in Unconscious Condition— His Injuries Are Not Considered Serious. Morin, who runs the waiting room gave the man, who'semed to be de- serving, a meal and while Mr. Car- peiise S ygeatine Ham men who had taken to Norwich a load of furnityre in an suto truck from Woonsockor came for something to eat and upon going out_offered to take Mr. Car- penter to Woonsocket with them. Mr. Carpenter agreed and the three men | loft the waiting room for the machine outside. Just as the men were crossing the street an automobile golng at unlaw- ful speed, bore down upon them, the men with Mr. Carpenter jumped but Mr. Cavpenter was too late and was struck by the machine which did not slacken speed but kept right on to- ward the city. The men picked the injured man up and carried him intc the station where Mr. Morin tele-| phoned for the ambulance and also notified the police of the accident. Mr. Carpenter was taken to the Backus| hospital where it was found that he had a broken leg an atnree fractured ribs. The police upon notification of the accident despatched men to Greene- villo and stationed men at all en-| trances to the city but nothing could be learned that would lead to the dis- covery of the heartless driver of the machine. There was considerable trouble in securing a doctor for the infired man, but the supervisor at the local tele- phone exchange came to the rescue. She tried to get several doctors but was unsuccessful ond then she noti- fied the Backus hospital and the am- | bulance was sent after the man. The supervisor_shortly afterwards got Dr. Callahan by 'phone and he went to the scene. HOPE TO INCREASE MEMBERSHIP TO 1000 Teams Are Going Out After Ninety New Members Today.
