a pint of rum day to drink neat was
disastrous. His captains and surgeons
suggested to him the revolutionary ex-

quired this to be done. The new liquor
was not favorably received, and the

DIR. B0UCHELLE

DR.. L. B. Bouchelle OF Thomasvlle,
Ca, a physician well known in the
South, is very enthusiastic over the
cod liver oil preparation Vlnol. He
says: Il have used Vinol in my fam
lily and In my general practice with
the most satisfactory results. 1t Is
exceedingly beneficial to those affiict-
ed with bronchial or pulmonary dis
eases and to create strength"
The reason Vinol is SO far superior
to old fashioned cod liver oil and
emulsions, is because 1t Is a real cod
liver preparation from which all the
useless oil has been eliminated and
tonic iron added
We ask every weak, thin, run
down, nervous and aged person In
town, and all those suffering from
chronic colds, coughs and weak lungs.
to try Vinol on our guarantee.
