AN AGED PHYSICIAN
After Years Of Experience Gives the Fol-
lowing Advice.

lowing Advice.
If you have anything to do with medi-
cines at all be pretty sure you know what
you are taking"
Our local druggist Geo. E. Greene, says
this is a strong point in favor of their
valuable COZ liver preparation, Vinol.
Everything it contains plainly printed
on the label, therefore it is not a patent
medicine.
Vinol contains in a highly concen-
trated form all of the medicinal elements
of cod liver oil, actually taken from fresh
Gods livers, but with the useless, nauseat-
ing oil eliminated and tonic iron, which
is a needful constituent for the blood,
added.
This is the reason that Vinol accom-
plishes such wonderful results in curing
chronic coughs, colds, bronchial and lung
troubles, and there is nothing known to
medicine that will so quickly build up the
run down, overworked, tired and debilitat-
ed, or give strength and renewed vitality
to the aged, as Vinol.
We can only ask every person in Brat
tleboro who needs such a medicine to try
Vinol on our offer to return their money
if it fails. George e. Greene Druggist.
NOTE.-While we are sole agents for
Vinol in Brattleboro, 1t is now for sale at
the leading drug store in nearly every
town and city in the country. Look for
the Vinol agency in your town.
