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.

Men and Women of All Ages,
I CAN CURE YOU!
The specialist Is now indispensable. 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.

Kind Words Menu Much.
CnltivatP kindness of heart, think
well of your follow men, look with
charity upon the shortcomings in their
lives. Do a good turn for them as
opportunity offers, and, finally, don’t
forget the kind word at the right
time. How much a word 0/ kindness,
encouragement or appreciation means
to others sometimes and how little it
costs us to give it!
We do not need to wait for some
special occasion. When calamity over-
Lakes a friend, words of sympathy and
encouragement are offered sincerely
enough, yet in certain respects, us a
matter of course. Such an occasion
calls for expression on our part, and
we unturaii.v respond. But why wait
for occasion’/ Why not speak the kind
word when there is no special occa
sion ?—I’iiiladelphiu Ledger.

A good story is told of a late Dublin
doctor famous for bis skill and also his
great love of money. He had a con
stant and enriching patient iu an old
shopkeeper. This old lady was terribly
rheumatic nud unable to leave her
sofa. During the doctor’s visits she
kept a one pound note in her hand,
which duly went into Dr. C.’s pocket.
One morning he found her lying dead
on the sofa. Sighing deeply, the doctor
approached, and, taking her hand in
his. he saw the Augers closed on his
fee..
“Poor thing!” he said as he pocketed
it! “Sensible to the last!”
