Sleeping in Sunshine.

A man who has just returned from

and a little heavy. All you want Is

Mr.. Greene says: "The reason
Vinol accomplishes such results after
everything else fails is because it

of the curative, strength

many of the limitations of Vinol,
claiming to be cod liver oil prepara-

claimed TO have the same effect as
Vinol, but which cannot, as they
never came from the Gods liver at
all and contain no cod iiver oil ele-
ments. The secret of separating the
medicinal elements of the cod liver
from the oil is known only to the
makers of Vinol. Therefore. there
can be no other cod liver oil prepa-
