Brooklyn, to-day At the conclusion of the argument Justice Gaynor announced that briefs must be handed in vy Friday and that at the earliest possible moment he would hand down his decision. Lawyer (eo Bamberger, for Glennon, charged first that the Recorder's copy the charge, as given to Glennon's unsol, did not compare accurately with the stenographtc report. He at- tacked the methods of obmdning the confession from Whitney, end related how Whitney's ball was inereaned to a prohibitive amount until hia confession; then reduced to $100. Bamberger raised the point of whother Sectlon 315 of the Charter did not legal- ize disorderly houses by Instructing the police to Inspect such pouses regularly.

Health Overcome by Vinol. We Have Seen Lots of Proof of This. You wil! agree with us that there is nothing much worse than a feel- !ing of weakness or lassitude. There is no need of our telling you that when one feels this way jt Is a symp- tom of disordered condition of the system. 4 We wovld like to tell every one 1 in this city how to get strong—takp’ Vinol on our guarantee. Vinol is not a patent medicine.” % Everything contained In it is prin on the label of each bottle. It does invigorate, create flesh when flesh is needed, and makes rich red blood. Vinol cannot do harm, because it con- tains only the ingredients that are needed to accomplish good—namely, the active curative medicinal princi- ples found in the liver of the live cod. Vinol differs from cod liver oll inasmuch as none of the grease that tastes so badly and acts so detrimen- tally on the digestive organs Is found in it. We have reason from what we have seen and heard to indorse Vinol asx we do, for we know what it has done in many cases where the pa- tient has been run down and debill- tated and where the most wonderful results have been accomplished by Its use. We also feel sure that many people have taken Vinol who were on the verge of a severe attack of sickness, and Instead of suffering further pain and misery were quickly restored to health. Here is one of many letters indorsing Vinol: “As a strengthening tonic, 1 will gladly say that Vinol is the best med- icine I ever have taken or heard of. We have used it in our family as a strength producer with the best posst- ble results.” Mrs. James Anderson, Mansfield, Ohio. It is because we e had so much proof of what "Vino! really ( does, and because we know that everybody who tries Vino! quickly learns that it is delicious, that we unhesitatingly indorse it, and agree at all times to refund to any one the price they pay for Vinol if they do not find Mt absolutely tisfactory.
