Here is another letter that has just come to our attention, showing the power of Vinol to build up health and strength for weak, puny, ailing chil- dren. r Smith, of Shanesville, Ohio, say “My little child was puny, weak and ailing, could not rest at night and would not eat. I learned about Vinol and tried it, and within a week noticed an improvement. The child’s appetite improved, it slept well, strength and health were soon built up. We think Vinol is excellent for weak, puny children.” Vinol is a_ delicious combination of beef and cod liver peptones, iron and manganese peptonates , and glycero- phosphates which creates an appetite, tones up the’ digestive organs, en- riches the blood and creates strength. Children love to take it. ‘We ask all parents of weak, sickly, delicate children in this vicinity to try Vinol with the understanding that we will return your money if it fails to benefit your little ones.

Baturday afternoon, when the two- nine trolley arrived at Jewett City station, a disinterested -onlooker would have had every reason to judge that the car was in imminent danger of destruction The mad rush of almost seventy-flve passengers to board one lone trolley car already over-filled up—the-line passengers resembled nothing short of a bargain sale rush.

Om this one car one hundred and forty- seven {ll-fated passengers journeyed to Norwich.

The con- ductor’s fate was even worse, for he ‘was not of slended architecture, and neither were some®of the standing “fair” payers.
