A Boston millionaire was very

and consulted \ famous specialist.

al am willing to pay for it. I'll
give you $500 for every pound of
solid healthy flesh you can put on
these bones"
1t was big price, but he could
weA afford to pay it. For undue
thinness is dangerous. 1t means
disease, or the approach of disease.
Cod liver oil has most always
been prescribed for this condition.
1t has wonderful properties as a
medicine, but sdisagreeable grease
and vile taste and smell make most
people sick.
We have long thought that
something could be devised with
cod liver oil as basis that would
arrest emaciation. promote nutri-
ton, stimulate digestion, aid in
throwing off rheumatism, lung
trouble, bronchitis, coughs, and
prove a real bodybuilding tonic

We have found it in Vinol (if
you are interested call at the store
and we'll tell you hosv we found it)
and it certainly does the work. 1t

sick and thin. try Vinol. You can
get your money back if it doesn't
