About Our Cod Liver Preparation
 NinOl.

So many patent medicines and ad- vertised cures are now offered to the public that We want to call the spe- cial attention of the people of New Haven, Conn, to the fact that Vinol is not in any sense a secret or patent medicine.
 For centuries medical men the world over have recognized the great tonic and curative elements contain ed in the cod's liver, but how to ex- tract these medicinal elements from the useless and repulsive oil which en- veloped them has been the problem hitherto unsolved
 This was finally accomplished by two eminent French chemists, and the result is Ninol, a delicious modern liver preparation without oil, made by a scientific. attractive and concen- trating process from fresh cods' flyers. thus combining with peptonate of iron all the medicinal, healing. body building elements of cod liver oil. but no oil.
 AS body builder and strength creator for old people, delicate chill dren, weak. rundown persons, after sickness and for Chronic Coughs Colds. Bronchitis and all throat and lung troubles, Finol is unexcelled. Try 1t on our offer to return money if it fails to give satisfaction. HulPs Cor ner Drug Stores, Cor. State and Chan el Sts..
