Weak
and Tired
People

We suppose all the women who
take care of a family and do their
own work are pretty tired come
night, but we are specially sorry for
those who don't feel rested in the
morning.
Do you suppose your Vinol
would do me any good'" said q
woman customer the other day

seems an awful burden"
eve think Vinol will help you,"
said our clerk. "Our folks at
home use it. We have such faith
in it that we will pay the money
back if it doesn't help YOU"
She took a bottle of Vinol home,
and has since bought another bottle.
Vinol was sold last year on the
same guarantee, How many Gre
funds we're there, do you think ?
Less than two per cent.
In other words, Vinol did sue
cessful work in ninety-eight cases
out of one hundred.
For two great classes, those
who can't seem to gain strength
and those who are tired at nothing,
we say: "Try Vinol on our guar
antee."
For weak women, nursing moth
ers, old people, and puny children
we have found nothing to equal
Vinol.
