Another witness In the case was J. C. Powell a young white man who admitted writing the letters to which Miss Odum's namo wan signed, though he said that Wise dictated the substance of them.

Oimmock Says he Does Not Charge Anything for Vi- nol Unless it Gives Satisfactory Re sults When asked by a reporter of the Time- how he could make such a broad: offer in regard to any medicine, A. E. Dimmock replied: “If Vino) were a patent or secret pre paration it would be another thing, but it is not, everything it contains is named on the label. Vinol is simply the np-to date form of administering cod liver oil, which for centuries has been recognized as the grandest of all body-building agents for wasted human strength and vitality,and during the last five years we have seen it produce such grand results that we are cow willing to back it with any kind of a guarantee. In Vinpl we h *ve simply done away with the useless, system-clogging oil and have given to the people all the medicinal, body-building elements of cod liver oil in a highly concentrat- d and deliciously pjlat°,ble form, and we have never sold in our store a medicine of more curative and strength-creating value than Vinol, and if the people of Valdosta only realized its value we would not have clerks enough in our store to supply the demand for it. In a natural manner Vino! tones up the dig estive organs, makes rich red blood and creates strength. We nan only ask the people of Valdosta to try it on our guar antee.’ ’ A. E. Dimmock, Druggist.
