over This Delicious Cod Liver

eve sell many tonics," said Mr..
Connell of Cornell Bros. our well
known druggists.
1--WE have demands for many social
ed strength creators.
1--WE handle all kinds of remedies
that claim to be invigorators We do
this because we are druggists, and il is
our business to supply the public with
tibet which they want.
"When our advice is asked, however,
as to tonic and rebuilder, strength
creator and an appetite producer, we
invaribly recommend Vinol. We do
this because we know all about Vinol.
We know all that it contains, and will
tell you it is not a secret patent medi-
cine. We have sold enormous quanti-
ties of IL. and we have had every OPP
portunity offered us TO watch the re-
suits that have been accomplished by
the use of this wonderful reconstructor
IF you have not yet had occasion to
use such tonic we would like to have
you call on us, and learn why we are
SO enthusiastic about this scientific
remhdy.
"Ninol contains all the curative prin-
ciples in a highly concentrated form
that are found in cod liver oil. 1t does
not contain, however, any of the OBJ
noxious, digestion destroying grease
that always proved to be such draw
back to what otherwise would have
been a most valuable remedy. We wish
you would remember Vinol, and bear
in mind that as a blood enricher and
flesh creator for old and young and as
wonderful aid to digestion we know
of nothing that will compare with it.
Such is our faith in Ninol that we
will gladly refund TO any one who is
not satisfied the price they have paid
us for it, Connell Bros, druggists.
