ROYAL TONIC
Vinol Will Invigorate And
Strengthen Quickly.
We Endorse and
Guarantee it.
We salImanv tonics.

We sell many tonics.
We have demands for many so-called
strength creators.
we handle all kinds of remedies that
claim to be invigorators. We dc this be-
cause we are druggists, and it is our
business to supply the public with that
which they want.
When our advice is asked. however, as
TO a tonic and rebuilder, strength creator
and an appetite producer, we invariably
recommend Vinol. We do this because
we know all about Vinol We know all
that it contains. We have sold enormous
quantities of il, and we have had every
opportunity offered! us to watch the re-
suits that have been accomplished by the
use of this wonderful recOnStructor.
II you have not yet had occasion TO use
such a tonic we would like To have You
call on us, and learn why we are so en-
thusiastic about this scientific remedy.
yinoI contains all the curative princi-
pies in highly concentrated state that
are found in cod liver oil. 1t does not
contain, however, any of the obnox
ious, digestion destroying grease that
ALWAYS proved to be such a drawback
To what otherwise would have been a
most valuable remedy. We wish you
would remember Vinol, and bear in mind
that as a bloc enricher and flesh creator
and as a wonderful aid to digestion, we
know of nothing that will compare with it.
Mrs. NJ. l.. Perkins, Bangor, Maine,
says: II have only taken one bottle of
VinOl. 1, therefore, am not in position
to know the full extent of its beneficial
action, but this one bottle has convinced
me that VinOl is a marvellous tonic.
While i'll this winter with grippe, a
friend told me about NinOl, and recon-
mended it so highly that 1 procured a
bottle. 1t benefited me wonderful
and l believe that it possesses splendid
building up properties. The little have
taken of it has convinced me that in my
case it is most excellent"
We endorse YinOl. We guarantee its
action. Such is our faith in IL that we
will gladly refund 10 anyone who IS moi
