Get Children
Started Right

Measles, scarlet fever, mumPs
and whooping cough are mlver-
sally prevalent. :,
With all these, the disease itself
is often trivial, but the after effects
are very serious.
Close observers say that one
half the people suffer from eye
trouble (result of measles), or
bronchial, ear, or kidney trouble
(result of other diseases of child
hood).
Now a child in robust health
will throw off these diseases. A
weak aIing child will probably
suffer al its life.
We have Just the medicine for
puny, ailing children. 1t is Vinol'
1t is pleasant to take it is free
from dangerous drugs, it is nour-
ishing and gently tonic, it helps the
food to digest and gives strength.
1t has been used in this town
with great success when children
were slow in getting over whooP-
ing cough and measles.
1t seems to give them a start,
and they become bright and
healthy. Used with Vinlax, the
bowel regulator, it is safe and sure,
both for ailing children and bur
dened mothers. Take home a
bottle on our guarantee of money
back if it's not good. Don't let
your little ones remain weak and
ailing.
