The reason Vinol rejuveuates and

directly upon the stomach, strengthen

and enabling it to obtain for itself,
from the food that is taken into it. the
elements which are required to make
firm healthy flesh and muscle tissue,
sound bone structure and pure healthy

and is enabled to do it because it con-

i've principles of cod-liver oil.
Vinol does not contain any of the
grease that formerly characterized cod
liver oil, hence is free from all the OBJ
jectionable features which made it inn
possible for patients to take or retain
that vile-smelling remedy into their
stomach.
Vinol in its favorable action upon
the stomach and other organs of the
body acts also in beneficial way upon
the nerves and brain, and will be
found to be invaluable to brain workers
as well as body workers.
The following letter is from we'll
known authoress. 1t reads as follows:
Sc wish to acknowledge the receipt
of the Vinol and testify to it's great
benefits. Since taking it l am much
