ARRANGEMENTS MADE,
A Deal Closed that will Benefit
Everyone in this Town.
Hereafter We Will be Sole Repre-.
SentativeS Of vinCI.

Vinol is attracting attention in every
large city in the country.
The best druggists in every place rep
resents VINOL.
They do this because they have inves.
tigated and become convinced of its mer-
it's. 1t is this that has led us to get the
agency for this town.
We are happy to announce that we
have succeeded in our endeavors.
We were told that no proprietary med
icine has ever been so popular as VI
MOL. We have learned that the reason
for this is because VINOL is really an
old remedy, produced In a new form,
and is now altogether delicious and
doubly potent.
Vinol is scientific tonic reconstructor
comprised of the curative principles OF
cod liver oil and little organic iron dis
solved in delicious table wine. That is
all mo oil no grease - no disagreeable
features, but all the medicinal virtues Of
cod liver oil and more.
There is no one living who will dis
pute the merits of cod liver oil as a re-
builder of the human system.
The trouble before has been that but
few people could take cod liver oil on
account of its obnoxious taste and ter
rible odor.
With Vinol however, everything is
changed. You will get every bit of the
good that was ever found in cod liver
oil and, best of all, you will get this good
without particle of grease to help re-
tard it's action.
The way VINOL accomplishes its mis-
sion is better than 1t was ever possible
for cod liver oil to bring about the same
results. This is because the elements
needed are now in more highly concen-
trated form.
We are sure that all our customers
will like VINOL very much and we am
ticipate large and permanent sale for
1t.
We also ascertained and wish every
one else to realize the fact, that VlNOL
is not patent medicine. 1t is simply a
new way of administering the curative
elements of cod liver oil.
We want all who are sick to call and
let us tell them about VINOL, We want
to convince our patrons that we have
been working in their behalf as we'll as
in our own. and we hope that everyone
of our fellow townspeople will appre-
ciate our enterprise in procuring the
agency for this popular medicine and OF
being the means of bringing VINOL
here. We are glad we are going to rep
resent VINOL; to do this has caused
much rivalry in the large cities between
the best druggists, for only to the best
druggists in each place has this agency
been awarded.
If anyone buying Vinol of MS is not
satisfied that it does all we claim, we
will refund the money that they have
paid us. VINOL Is always sold undel
this guarantee.
