The cabOose and rear car of a west

off the track

Rock Island People Should Take VinoI.

Our well known druggist, Mr.. H. o.
Rolls, says, I'VE do not believe there
is man, woman or child in Rock Is
land whom our famous cod liver oil
preparation, Vinol, will not benefit at
this season of the year
I'VE believe there is no need for so
many people to drag around run down,
tired out and debilitated, or for old
people to remain weak and infirm
when we guarantee Vinol will restore
health and strength
Continued Mr.. Rolls. For centuries
cod liver oil has been recognized as
the grandeSt of all bodybuilding
agents for wasted human strength and
vitality, but on account of the heavy,
nauseating and system-clogging oil
which enveloped its curative qualities
few could take ii with any benefit.
In Vinol you get in a concentrated
form every one of the curative and
strengthening elements of cod liv-
er oil actually taken from fresh Gods
livers, and without a drop of oil to up
set the stomach and retard its work.
Vinol is not patent medicine, and
you know what you are taking, as ev-
erything it contains is named on the
back label of every bottle.
Vinol is guaranteed by over two
thousand of the leading druggists OF
the United States to create strength
for old people, for the rundown, tired
and debilitated, weak, sickly women
and children, and after a severe sick
ness.
We ask every person in Rock Island
who have hacking coughs. chronic
colds. throat and bronchial troubles. to
try Vinol on our guarantee 1t costs
nothing if 1T fails" H. O. Rolls, Har-
per House pharmacy.
