your Liniment on a horse for sweeney

removed a spavin on a mule. This

Many of the best people in'Teniiessee

Its occasional use will keep the system
in good condition, thus assisting nature
to establish good health. It will re
move the bile and effete matter from
the system, and, as a rule, Nature
"will do the rest.” Try it. It is well
indorsed. It is made in both liquid and
powders. Druggists and dealers sell it,

tin boxes, 25 cents a box.

FEEBLE OLD LADY
Has Strength Restored By
Vinol
Mrs. Michael Bloom of Lewlstown,
Pa., who is 80 years of age, says: "For
a long time I have been so feeble that
I have had to be wheeled around in
an invalid’s chair. I had no strength
and took cold at the slightest provoca
tion, which invariably settled on my
lungs, and a cough would result. My
son learned of the cod liver prep
aration called Vinol, and procured a
bottle for me. It built up my strength
rapidly, and after taking three bottles
I am able to do most of my work, and
I can walk a quarter of a mile easily.
Every aged or weak person who re
quires strength should try Vinol. I am
delighted with what it has done for
me.”
As a body builder and strength crea
tor for old people, delicate children,
weak, run-down persons, and after
sickness, Vinol is unexcelled. If it
fails to give satisfaction we will re
turn your money.

Making More Money Out of
Cotton Crops
is merely a question of using enough of the right
kind of fertilizers.
Virginia-Carolina
Fertilizers
are the right kind.
The cotton plant cannot feed on barren land. Study
your soil. Find out what it lacks. Then apply the
necessary fertilization and the results will surprise you.
See what Mr. W. C. Hays of Smith Station, Ala., did. He says:
‘‘I planted about 30 acres of some ‘gray sandy land’ that had been in
cultivation for over 20 years, and used 300 pounds of Virginia-Caro-
lina Fertilizers per acre, and 1 expect to gather 30 bates from
the 30 acres.” This is why we say it is the right kind. We have
hundreds of letters like this, and even stronger, in praise of Virginia-
Carolina Fertilizer for cotton.
Get a copy of the new 1909 Virginia-Carolina Farmers’ Year Book
from your fertilizer dealer, or write our nearest sales office and a copy
will be sent you free. It contains pictures of the capitol3 of all the

New Year Resolutions
Are In Order
So we renew our efforts
to increase the efficiency
of our store in every way;
—to maintain the quality
of our goods, to maintain uni
form prices, and to maintain
satisfaction to patrons.
It has been our policy all
the while to constantly im
prove our store service in
these respects, and so it is
not a new resolution we
make, but only a renewed
determination to accomplish
better things in conducting
our drug business.
