Weakness and III Health
Overcome by vinol.
We ave Seen
Lots Of Proof Of
This.

You will agree with US that there g
nothing much worse than feeling OF
weakness or lassitude. There is no need
OF our telling you that when one feels this
way, it is symptom of disordered con-
dition of the system.
we would like to tell everyone in this
city how to get strong - take Vinol on
bur guarantee.
vinol is not patent medicine. Every
thing contained in it is printed on the
label of each bottle. 1t does invigornte,
create flesh when flesh is needed, and
makes rich red blood. Vinol cannot do
harm because it contains only the In
gradients that are needed to accomplish
good, namely, the active curative
medicinal principles found In the liver OF
the live cod. Vinol differs from cod liver
oil inasmuch as none of the grease that
tastes so badly and acts SO detTimentaliy
ON the digestive organs is found in Y.
We have reason from what We have
seen and heard. to endorse Vinol;a we
do. for we know what it has done IN
MANY cases where the patient has been
run down and debilitated and where the
most wonderful results have been accom-
plished by its use.
We also feel sure that many people
