Delightful refresh ments wery served and pleasant con versation was engaged in till the old year had winged its dying spirit into the past and the new born year had been ushered in.

Bad Taste in the Mouth / V; o/\; When you get up in the morning with a coated tongue and a bad taste in the mouth, you may or may not be seri ously ill, but if there is any disease going, your system is just right to catch it. We know what you think— first you are half persuaded to try Vinol, and then you say to yourself: “ That’s the same story all the medicines tell; I’ve heard it before.” But Vinol is not like other medicines. If it were, we shouldn’t be talking about it in any special way. If you will regulate your bowels with Vinlax and take Vinol to improve your diges tion and assimilation of food, these troubles, with the head ache, “ liver complaint,” neu ralgia, rheumatic pains, and nerve troubles will disappear as by magic. We pay back the money if it doesn’t help you. CHEROKEE DRUG CO DKCDGISTS. Mail Orders Supplied, IVr." Express Paid.

In all walks of life there is a demand for the man who can do one particular thin); better than any one else, and such a man is one who has confined his endeavor to, and centered all of his energy and ability on the specialty he has chosen for his life’s work. Early in my professional career I realized that Chronic Diseases were not being given the attention which their Importance warranted. I saw that these diseases required a special fit ness which the busy practitioner could never acquire. For more than twenty years I have de voted myself exclusively to the study and treatment of these diseases, and the fact that physi cians recommend me to their patients is an evidence of my skill and ability in my special line. I give special counsel to physicians with obstinate and obscure cases. I have devoted particular attention to chronic diseases of men and women, and no otbw class of disease requires more intelligent and expert treatment. It is a fact that a majority off men owe the seriousness of their condition to improper treatment, and a failure to realize tha imporUnce of placing«their case in the hands of a skilled and expert specialist.
