HAD QUIT WORK
READY TO Give UP IN DESPAIR

Restored to Health By Vinol
81 was sick, rundown and finally
had to give up work. After trying
a number of remedies and several ply
sicians, was just about ready to give
up in despair. I saw Vinol adj
vertised and decided to try it,
and it has done more good for
me than all other means combined. It
has built me up and restored my
strength until | now feel twenty years
younger, and am able to attend to my
work again as usual" Job Jeavons,
1896 Lind street, Wheeling, W. Va.
The reason Vinol is so successful in
such cases is because it contains tonic
iron and all of the strengthening
blood-making and bodybuilding ele-
ments of cod liver oil, but no oil.
Vinol is unexcelled as strength
creator for old people, delicate children,
weak, rundown persons, and after
sickness and is the best known rem
edy for coughs, colds and bronchitis.
We return your money if Vinol fails
to give satisfaction.
