CLIMATIC CIrRES

The inhuenc of climatic condition
in the cure of consumption is very
much over drawn. The poor patient
and the rich patient, too, can do
much better at home by proper at
tention to food digestion, and a regu-
lar use of German Syrup. Free ex-
pectoracion In the morning Is made
certain by German Syrup, so is a good
nights rest and the absence of that
weakening cough and facilitating
night sweat. Restless nights and the
exhaustion due to coughing, the
greatest danger and dread of the con-
sumptive can be prevented or stopped
by taking German Syrup literally and
regularly Should you be able to 90

of the thousands of consumptives

HAVE YOU WEAK LUNGS?
DO You Fenr Consumption,

When we take into consideration
the fact that one out of every seven
in this climate die of consumpt ion is
il any wonder that it is feared by the
people of Bedding who have veal
lungs and chronic colds and coughs?
A famous London physician has for
years urged his patienys, when the
slightest tendency to consumption
appeared, to take the best cod liver
preparation they could find, and ply.
sicians everywhere have recognized
that the Gods liver contains curative
values for colds, coughs, bronchitis,
consumption and all wasting diseases
unequalled In medicine, but unfor-
tunately, few could take and derive
any benefit from old-fashioned cod
liver oil and emulsions because of the
indigestible grease which they con-
tain.
Our local druggists, Connell Bros,
say they want every person in Beld-
ing TO know the value of their cod
liver preparation, Vinol. 1t actually
contains in concentrated form all
of the strengthening bodybuilding
elements of cod liver oil actually
taken from fresh Gods livers, without
drop of oil or grease to upset the
stomach and retard its work.
Therefore, where old-fashioned cod
liver oil or emulsions would do good,
Vinol will do far more good. We
guarantee Vinol will improve the APP
petite, strengthen digestion, make
rich, red blood, create strength, cure
chronic coughs and colds and
strengthen eak lungs. If Vinol
fails to give satisfaction, we return
your money without question" Con-
