A man once wrote to a western law

BY vinol.
THAT THE FOOD IS DIGEST
ED Is ASLO EQUALLY
NECESSARY.
We Recommend VinOl as an
Appetite Creator.
WE GUARANTEE THAT VNOL
WILL AID DIGESTION.

vinol is the greatest aid to digestion
that we have ever known.
is because Vinol acts SO benefcially
upon the stomach that it accomplishes
30 much good.
Vinol contains the active curative
principles that are found in cod-liver
oil, without any oil or grease.
These medicinal elements act SO
favorably upon the stomach, that this
organ obtains for itself the elements
necessary for creating new flesh, muscle
tissue and for making rich red blood.
When the stomach acts easily and
naturally, desire is created for good
simple food and good appetite is the
sure result.
With cod-liver oil as formerly taken
the medicinal elements which it con-
tanned were too often unable to
counteract the harm that was done by
the obnoxious grease that enveloped
them.
Now that in Vinol we have those
same elements separated from the vile
tasting fat, we have a tonic and re-
builder that is simply marvellous in its
action.
The following is letter that will ex-
plain itself:
"This is to certify that 1 have used
six bottles of Vinol, and have found it
Of great value as an appetizer and

ceived so much benefit from its use
