'ositive ? Convincing Proof
Marty so-called remedies for anae
nia are only so in name. Their mak
:rs are afraid to prove their claims by
tiling what their medicines contain.
The only way to be honest with the
>eople is to let them know what they
ire paying for. Here is the Vinol
ormula. When the doctor knows
vhat a medicine contains, it ceases
o be a "patent" medicine.
T> Cod Liver and Beef Peptones, Iron and
? Manganese Peptonates, Iron and Am
manium Citrate, Lime and Soda Glycero
phosphates, Cascarin.
Any doctor will tell you that the in
gredients of Vinol, as named above,
vill enrich the blood and banish anae
nia and create strength. When the
tlood is pure and rich and red, the
tody is strong and robust.
You can prove this at our expense

Lockjaw andHow toPrevent It
THE cause of lockjaw, or tetanus,
as doctors call It, Is a germ which
naturally inhabits the intestine
of horses, cows, sheep and other ani
mals. This germ pollutes the ground
wherever animals run, and In the sum
mer time it may survive in the ma
nure and dirt for a long period. There
fore a wound sustained on the road
way, about the barn or barnyard or in
A GOOD chance for lockjaw.
A slight wound infected with manure
it likely to cause lockjaw. Safety
First.
the garden is more liable to admit the
germ to the blood.
Every one knows that when we vac
cinate we endeavor to scratch the skin
without causing actual bleeding, be
cause bleeding washes out the virus
and prevents a "take." Well, the same
holds true in a certain measure In lock
jaw infection or other kinds of blood
[toisoning. A slight abrasion, scratch,
puncture <>r cut that bleeds little or
none at all is more likely to l>e fol
lowed by lockjaw than a freely bleed
ing, open wound.
Perhaps if every slight wound were
at once autiseptlcally treated by apply
ing tincture of Iodine thoroughly or
by having the doctor cauterize it with
stronger germicides no lockjaw or oth
er blood poisoning could occur. But if
you neglect the trifling injury for sev
eral hours there is always a certain
change of such infection.
Look jaw is so named because one of
the earliest symptoms is stiffness about
the throat and jaw, a sensation like a
"sore throat" coming on. This may be
felt fiein a few days to two or three
weeks after a slight injury. Besides,
the victim is very nervous, twitchy and
jumps when the least bit startled. As
the atta< k goes on stiffness of the mus
cles of the body everywhere will be
felt, with Jerky twitchings and finally
severe convulsions.
The safest treatment of all trifling
wounds in warm weather is immediate
antiseptic or cauterizing applications
by a doctor and then a hypodermic in
jection of lockjaw antitoxin. Probably
no case of lockjaw has ever occurred
it rtor tins antitoxin has been adminis
tered at tlie time of t lie accident.
A wound In wldeh lockjaw infection
is present may appear to be healing
perfectly. Sometimes, however, there
are drawing or shooting sensations In
or near the wound, or a feeling of ten
sion or fatigue annoys the victim for
days before the onset of more serious
trouble.
In a case of deep puncture or stab
wound or a wound in which the tissues
are much lacerated and crashed or one
in which foreign matter, such as pow
der. cinders, dirt or particles of cloth
ing. is Imbedded it is always advisable
to have the wound laid open and thor
oughly cleaned out by a doctor at the
earliest possible moment, as such in
juries offer ideal conditions for -the de
velopment of lockjaw infection.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
A Test That Does Not Signify.
If one placed a tvottle of urine on a
shelf and let It stand for twenty-four
hours, does I lie appearance of a sedi
ment indicate kidney trouble?
Answer.? No. Sedlmert would naturally
settle In a specimen standing for several
hours in a fairly warm place, even If the
Individual Is perfectly well. That Idea Is
one of the tricks by which purveyors of
worthless kidney medicines persuade cred
ulous folk to buy the stuff.
Tonsilitis Is Catching.
Is aeute tonsilitis catching?
Answer. ? Every simple "cold." so called,
and every acute sore throat is catching.
The Kerms which may produce a "bad
cold" In one case may produce a severe
attack of tonsilitis in the next victim or
an attack of pneumonia In some one else.
If all alleged common "colds" and sore
throats were dealt with as carefully as
diphtheria Is dealt wlt'i by intelligent peo
ple rowadavi this dlsense would become
as j'are as diphtheria now Is.
Preparedness Against Typhoid.
I am planning to spend a month In a
place where there lias been consider
able typhoid fever. What precautions
can I take to avoid (he fever?
Answer.? TV. ^ent yntir ?lf to the family
doctor a month before you go away and
have him administer the p-ophylactic (vac
cine) treatment, which will be your best
protection aganst Infection In any circum
stances.
The Dose of Antitoxin.
Are 20,00(1 units of antitoxin an over
dose for a moderate case of diphtheria
in u boy eleven yeurs. o'd
Answer.? Often at least ., ,< ?> unit* would
be necessary in order :?> neutralize 30,<ki0
units of diphtheria poison in a little pa
tient's blood. The diphtheria germs work
night and day to kill tl f b \ T ? anti
toxin ought to be ;;iven in ? <? k: . ? II do;- >s
never too large doses.
Beef, Iron and Wir.e Verf"3 Milk.
Is beef, iron and whte a liiiiu
to build up the blood of a pci'.^ >.i wIm
Is run down ami weak?
Answer. ? You could put about all the
beef and Iron In the bottle in your e n
without Irritating tiie e;. e niueii It is
present chiefly on the Is'ecl .* ? fot the
wine, after you have extracted th ' ick
from the wine the alcohol thei e is darn
ed little left in It for jour bio rt A plat
of milk or a sandwich or an app'e < r a

more building material than many bottles

jctor Says Nuxated Iron Will
Increase Strength of Delicate
People 100 ?/0 in Ten Days
S? many Instances ? Persons have suf
fered nntold agony for years doctoring
for nervous weakness, stomach, liver or
kidney disease or some other aliment
when their real trouble was lack of Iron
In the blod. ? Bow to tell.
New York, N. Y. ? In a recent dis
course Dr. E. Sauer, a Boston physician
who has studied widely both In this
oountry and In great Kuropean medical
Institutions, said: "If you w?re to make
an actual blood test on all people who
are 111 you would probably be greatly
astonished at the exceedingly larg<;
number who lack Iron and who are 111
for no other reason than the lack of
Iron. The moment Iron Is supplied all
tnelr multitude of danxerous symptoms
disappear. Without Iron the blood at
Once loses the power to change food
Into living tissue, and therefore noth
ing you eat does you any good; you
don't ?et the strength out of it. Your
food merely passes through your sys
tem like corn through a mill with the
rollers so wide apart that the mill can't
grind. As a result of this continuous
blood and nerve starvation, people be
come generally weakened, nervous and
all run down and frequently develop all
sorts of conditions. One Is too thin;
another is burdened with unhealthy fat;
?om? are so weak they can hardly
walk: some think they have dyspepsia,
kidney or liver trouble; some can't
?leep at night, other* are sleepy and
tlrea all day; some fussy and Irritable;
?ome skinny and bloodless, but all la< k
physical power and <"ndurance, In su'h
cases, it is worse than foolishness to
take stimulating n^'llclnes or narcotic
drugs, which only whip up your fagging
vital powers for the moment, maybe at
the expense of your life later on. No
matter what any one tells you. If you
?r? not strong and well you ow? It to
yourself to make the following test. See
CREECH DRUG CO., Smithfield, N. C.
how long you can work or how far you
can walk without becoming tired. Next
take two five-grain tablets of ordinary
Nuxated Iron three times per day after
meals for two weeks. Then test your
strength again and see for yourself how
much you have gained. I have seen
dozens of nervous, run-down people who
were ailing all the time double, and
even triple, their strength and endur
ance and entirely get rid of their symp
toms of dyspepsia, liver and other trou
bles in from ten to fourteen days' time
simply by taking iron In the proper
form, and this, after they had in some
cases been doctoring for months with
out obtaining any benefit. You can talk
as you please about all the wonders
wrought by new remedies, but when
you come down to hard facts there is
nothing like good old Iron to put color
in your cheeks and good sound, healthy
flesh on your bones. It is also a great
nerve and stomach strengthener and
the best blood builder In the world. The
only trouble whs thnt the old forms of
inorganic Iron, like tincture of Iron. Iron
acetate, etc.. often ruined people's
teeth, upsf-t their stomachs and were
not assimilated, and for these reasons
they frequently did more harm than
good. But with the discovery of the
newer forms of organic Iron all this has
been overcome. Nuxated Iron, for ex
ample, Is pleasant to take, does riot In
jure the teeth and Is almost Immedi
ately beneficial. _______
