Our SCraWny
People

Not all thin people are in actual
i'll health, but undue thinness means
danger, and "scrawny" thinness
means the result of wasting, when
wrinkles and loss of strength as
well as loss of weight show that
something is wrong.
This something may be worry,
extra work, care of the sick, nervous
arrangement, dyspepsia, bowel
troubles, or the first sign of the
onset of serious disease like con-
sumption or kidney trouble.
How often we hear: Shed be
a pretty woman if she wasn't so
horribly thin . It's too bad, for
most of these thin women are sick.
The best thing we have found
for thin people, whatever the
cause of the thinness, is Vinol.
1t seems to nourish at once, and
also to start an appetite for good
food. 1t was a great discovery to
combine the medicinal properties
of cod liver oil with organic iron
in such a powerful and yet pleas
ant-tasting preparation, and we'll be
glad to tell you how we got hold of
it, if you'll call at the store. Any
how, if you are thin, and want
more flesh and strength, try a
bottle of Vinol. If you aren't
pleased, we pay the money back.
Remember fat doesn't create fat ;
SO you don't need the greasy kind
of cod liver oil to increase weight.
Vinol is better and tastes delicious.
