Run Down, Tired.
NINE-TENTHS OF THE SAVAN-

knights Pharmacy Co. Say "VinoI is
What Every Man, Woman and Child
Needs at This Season of the Year"

Many people right in this vicinity
are all run down, no strength, hardly
able to drag about. Don't know what
ails them.
In ninety-nine cases out of a hun
bred it is simply a rundown condition
OF the system-in other words, gen
eral debility.
Our Vinol is the one great tonic re-
constructor which they need. 1t will
create strength, tone up the digestive
organs cure all stomach troubles.
create healthy appetite, make rich,
red blood and strengthen every organ
in the body to do its work. 1t will
drive away every feeling of lassitude,
heaviness and depression, and infuse
new life and energy
Vinol is not a patent medicine, con-
tains no injurious drugs, but it is the
most delicious and valuable prepara-
ton of cod liver oil known to medicine
without drop of oil to retard its
work.
Mr.. Andrew Jackson of Springfield
O., writes: Every spring for years
have found myself in a worn-out, run
down condition, with no appetite, and
before commencing the use of Vinol
was practically a dead man on my
feet l tried this wonderful remedy,
and am satisfied that it has done for
me what doctors have failed to do in
all these years. | am we'll and strong,
and my entire system is full of vitality
AS a tonic for n rundown, tired, de-
bilitated system Vinol stands at the
head"
We wish every man. woman and
child in Savannah who is in this con-
dition would try Vinol and prove what
it will do. knights Pharmacy Co.
