It cost $65 before; now $35.
He knows it is painted now, and he's got that $30 in a safe place.    He's got his knowledge in a safe place too. Youra truly, F. W. Devoe & Co.

Why Thonias Johnston continues recommend Vincd First: Hecau.se it is not a patent medicine and it contains besides tonif iron all the medii'inal curative elements of cod liver oil actually taken from fresh cods' livers, but without a drop of oil to nauseate and upset the stom¬ ach and retard its work; therefore, wherever old-fashioned cod liver oil or emulsions will d(j good, Vinol will do far more good.
.Second: Because Vinol acts first upon the stomach, creates a healthy appetite, strengthens and tones up the digestive organs, purifies and enriches the blood, and, in a natural manner, restores health and strength.
Third: Because Vinol contains no injurious drugs to react upon the sys¬ tem ; every ingredient being named on the label, a patient knows exactly what he is taking.
Fourth: Because we never sold any¬ thing in our store that gave such uni¬ versal satisfaction for old people, weak, sickly women and children, nurs¬ ing mothera, and to build up the sys¬ tem after a severe sickness, and for relievii^ hacking coughs, chronic cotda, bronchitis and all throat and lung troubles.
Try Vinol on our guarantee. Thomas JMmston, Druggist, Preeport, N. Y.
