A prominent New England scientist
recently made the statement that nine
tenths Of the more serious lung trou.
bles are caused by neglected coughs
and colds.
For the beneht of Montgomery people
we want to say: Don't dose the stom-
ach with cough syrups. they only
sooth little, upset the stomach, and
do not build UP the system.
The best remedy is our delicious cod
liver preparation, Vinol, which con-
tains in a highly concentrated form
all OF the medicinal. healing, body
building elements of cod liver oil, ac-
tually extracted from fresh Gods livers
but no oil.
Vinol heals and strengthens the sore
lungs and bronchial tubes, and re-
moves the cause of the cough. Perma.
nent health Is what you are after.
Vinol makes rich red blood. builds uD
the appetite and creates strength. we
ask Montgomery people suffering from

bles or weak lungs to try Vinol on our

standing expectantly upon the shores.
For the name OF Mr.. Forbes, while
1t had been whispered gently for some

possibly be, noisily shouted. Captain
Forbes himself, however, has not so
