FALL COLDS

cause Hard to Cure.
VERY LIKELY TO LAST ALL
WINTER.
We Know Something that Cures All
Pulmonary Troubles.
IT'S OUR GREAT TONIC RECON-
STRUCTOR, vlNOL.

There seems to be an epidemic of
colds.
1t is strange how many people start
In with cold that they have con-
traeted during the autumn months.
Such colds are dangerous, for unless
cured when the weather is warm it is
very difficult to get rid of them when
really inclement weather appears.
Do mot, if you have cold, go through
this winter and let it pull you down. A
raclxing cough may be the means of I'M
dermining your constitution, terminal
ing in consumption, when there will be
no hope for escape.
Cod-Liver Oil has always been the
greatest known specific for consump-
ton. Naturally Cod-Liver Oil has been
given for colds which are regarded by
many people as the first stage of this
disease. There is no need of our tell
ing you the drawbacks of Cod Liver
Oil; the vile, greasy mixture was SO re-
pellent that not more than one person
In ten could take it. But Cod-Liver
Oil did cure where it could be taken.
Now we have cod-liver oil prepare
ton that cures just as surely as did
this vile remedy. We refer to Vinol.

licious, and because it contains the
active curative principles that made
Cod-Liver Oil famous as the specific for
consumption and other wasting dis
eases, it will be readily seen how valu-
able it is for all such troubles.
Here is one letter taken from many
that are continually coming to our
notice. Mrs. E. Coghlan, 122 Putnam
Ave, Cambridgeport, Mass, says:
Last September / contracted a
heavy cold which terminated with ton
silitis, and later the grip. All winter
had dreadful cough, and the doctor
advised me to take several things,
among them CodLiver Oil. l tried it
for several months without obtaining
relief At last / heard of Vinol and
gave it trial. Five bottles cured me
and l have had no troubles since"
When we talk of VinoI, we
know of what we speak, and will
refund your money if you are not
satisfied.
