Give Reasons Why They Consider
Vinol
The Greatest Health Restorer and strength
Creator Known Ina Medicine.

The Greatest Health Restorer and strength
Creator known Ina Medicine.
First: Because Vinol contains i'm a
coucentral ed form all of the medicinal
curative elements actually taken from
fresh Gods livers, but without drop
of oil to nauseate and upset the stom-
ach and retard its work; therefore,
wherever old fashioned cod liver oil or
emulsions will do good, Ninol will do
far more good.
Second: Because Vinol acts first up
on the stomach, creates healthy APP
petite, Strengthens and tones up the
digestive organs; purifies and enriches
the blood. aud in a naturul manner
health is restore and strength created
Third: Because Vinol contains no
injurious drugs TO react upon the sys'
t IN; you know just what you are TAX
ing, AS it is printed on every bottle.
Fourth: Because we have never sold
anything in our store equal to Vinol to
restore health and create strength for
old people, weak sickly women ard
children, nursing mothers, and TO build
up the system after a severe sickness.
Vinol cures hacking coughs, chronic
colds, bronchitis and all throat and
lung troubles.
A prominent physician writes: wi
mol is the me st palatable and valuable
preparation of cod liver ever compound
ed. | now use it entirely in all cases
where formerly depended upon old
fashioned cod liver oil and emulsions.'
Try Vinol on our guarantee to return
money ifyou receive no benefit. Con-

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
TO hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
TO take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
,an, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.
