LIVING AT HIGH TENSION

To overdo in order to keep up with
the parade is the tendency of the
age.
Living at such a high tension, is IL
any wonder that our nerve SAM
tariums and rest cures are filed with
nervous, overworked, broken-down
men and women,
When one begins to get into this
condition, there is only one cure-a
complete rest, together with a whole
some diet and a good blood-making
tonic and strength creator. There is
nothing in this line that can possibly
excel the medicinal elements Of the
Gods liver combined with tonic iron.
This simple combination is found in
Vinol. 1t contains no oil or grease
and agrees with everyone
A we'll known college professor
states that he considers vincl truly
| wonderful tonic and strength creator
He was himself overworked and run
down to critical point. A friend
asked him to try vinol. He did so
and is now enjoying perfect health
and its curative powers cannot be toe
strongly extolled.
We recommend vinol to build VI
and strengthen the rundown ant
overworked, weak women, old people
delicate children and conyaaescents
i In case anyone is not satisfied aftel
! taking one bottle, we always refund
! their money This does not happen
often. however, because Vinols per
centage of cures is very high. Nc
