THAT THE FOOD IS DIGEST
Ed is ASL0 EQUALLY
NECESSARY.
We Recommend Vinol as an
Appetite Creator.
WE GUARANTEE THAT vIN0L
WILL AID DIGESTION.

vinoi is the greatest aid to digestion
that we have ever known.
Its because vinol acts so beneflcially
} upon the stomach that it accomplishes
20 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
favorahly upon the stomach, that this
organ obtains for itself the elements
neces ~ for creating new flesh, muscle
tissue and for making rich red blood.
When the stomach acts easily and
] naturally, q desire is created forgood
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
countcract 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 n tonic and re-
builder that is simply marvellous in its
action
The following is letter that win ex-
plain itself:
"This is to certify that / have used
six bottles of Vinol, and have found it
of great value as an appetizer and
tonic in general debility. / have re
ceived so much benefit from its use
that gladly furnish this testimonial
In order that others may be induced to
give it a trial and prove to themselves
its recuperative powers. "--NiRs. EIIz-
ARRTH FRESEY, Waterbury, Conn.
We want every one in this place to
know more about our Nlnoi. how 1t
cures and what II cures. Certainly
the greatest tonic and rebuiider we
have ever sold.
We, therefore, cordially invite any
one interested to call upon us, and
we want all to bear In mind that we
win gladly refund TO any one who Is
not satisfied with the action of VinoI
every cent they pay for it.
