Devoe Takes Least
Gallons: Always.
Paint Devoe; it's the cheapest paint
in the world: never mind the price: it
may or may not be more. Less gallons
arili paint the house; and the paint
will outwear anything.
Skip wear; you've got to wait, to
2nd that out. It oovers more; you
laven't got to wait to find that out.
It's the cheapest of all; no matter
ibout the price.
N. R Watkins, Lott, Texas, nsed 18
gallons on his house before; bought IS
gallons Devoe for same House and had
I left.
0. B. Edwards, of Edwards &
Sroughtou, prinrers, Raleigh, N. C.,
tsed 80 gallons pas'e paint on his
louse; bought 30 gallons Devoe for
lame hou?e and had 16 left.

GREATEST MEDICINE ON EARTH
A prominent citizen of Evansville,
Ind., writes:?"I was . ill for five
months with a pulmonary trouble, and
had the best of doctors. I had hemorrhages
and was in a very bad way.
Through the advice of a friend I tried
Vinol, and I feel that it saved my life.
It is all you recommend it to be. I
believe It is the greatest medicine on
earth. I have advised others to try
Vinol, and they have had the same
results." (Name furnished on request.)
We want every one in this vie nify
who is troubled with chronic jolds,
? ?- ?mmmm
cougns, or puuuuuaij uuuuico, w
come and get a bottle of Vinol.
If it does not go to the seat of trouble,
heal the inflammation and stop
the cough, we will cheerfully return
every cent paid us for it This shows
our faith, and proves that you take
no chances.
