Mr.. Fred Raymond, corner Broadway
and Ware streets, Cambridge, Mass. says:
AFTER a severe attack of the Grippe, l
was very much run down. l began to
use Vinol. 1t tastes delicious, and has
helped me to gain flesh and get back my
lost strength, and it created q tremendous
appetite"

In what had been the dining

relied, placed a stove, bought 'uten-

meals there, ate them there, high
ted his lamp and read there at

Roger Colt never placed q foot.
Once a week he would kneel be-
fore the door and push some pc

and wife met on the stairway they
looked straight ahead and tried to
avoid brushing against each other.
Ten years ago Colt gave up his
