The reason that Vinol accomplishes
such wonderful results in throat, bron-
chial and lung troubles is because it
contains in a concentrated form all the
vital principles of cod liver oil, but
without drop of oil to nauseate and
upset the stomach and retard its me"
dici1al value; the weakest stomach can
retain it and it is delicious to the taste.
VinOl is the most valuable prepare
ton of cod liver oil ever discovered,
and we ask every person in Dawson
who has a hard cold. hacking cough,
throat or bronchial trouble to try
Vinol on our guarantee to return YOUR
money if you are not satisfied with the
results. BELL BROS, Druggists.
