HEILBRUN.

Druggist C. A. Sexton says:
There is nothing like Vinol for
growing children. 1t makes vitality,
sound flesh and muscle tissue, and
rich, pure, red blood, and many let
tiers have been received from CRATE
full fathers and mothers whose chill
dren owe their health, and even life,
10 Vinol.
1.-The reason Vinol is so far super
Tor to all other tonics and cod liver
oil preparations for children is be-
cause 1t contains, in a concentrated
form, all of the strengthening, body
building elements of cod liver oil,
actually taken from fresh Gods liv-
ers, but without a drop of oil or
grease, and it does not upset their
weak, delicate stomachs like old
fashioned cod liver oil and emul-
sions, but is easily assimilated, and
is so delicious that children all love
it,"
Continued Mr.. Sexton: I'VE can
not recommend Vinol too highly for
puny, weak and ailing children, to
build up the rundown, overworked
tired and debilitated, or to give re-
newed vitality to the aged. SO sure
are we of what it will do that we
cheerfully refund the money in every
case where it fails.'C. A. Sexton,
Druggist.
