How Old People
May PrOlOng
Their Lives

At advanced age the organs act
more slowly than in youth. Circu-
lation becomes poor, blood thin and
watery, appetite fitful, and diges-
ton weak. This condition leaves
the system open to disease such as
Coughs, Colds, Grippe, Pneumo-
MIA, Rheumatism, etc.
VINOL is the greatest health
creator and body builder we know
of for old people, as it supplies
the very elements needed to re-
build wasting tissue and replace
weakness with strength.
HERE Is THE PROOF
A case is recorded in Albany, n. Y, OF
a woman who felt she was breaking
down by age and was doomed 10 ING
weak and feeble condition OF old people'
She had no strength and the slightest eA-
ertion tired her, but NINOL made her
well and strong, and she states that she
feels ten years younger than she uiu oo-
fore taking NINOL.
We ask every aged person in
this neighborhood to Try bottle
of VINOL with the understanding
that we will return their money II It
does not prove beneficial

her door and came out of the cave
Blake was nowhere in sight. She
sighed, vastly relieved, and hastened
across to bathe her flushed face in
the spring. Stopping every few mo-
ments to listen for his step down the
cleft she gathered up a hamper of
food and fled to the tree-ladder
AS she drew herself up on the cliff
she noticed q thin column of smoke
rising from the last smouldering
brands of beacon fire that had been
built in the midst of the bird colony
on the extreme outer edge of the
headland She did not, however, OBJ
serve that, while the smoke column
streamed up from the fire directly
skyward beyond it there was much
larger volume of smoke, which seemed
to have eddied down the cliff face and
was now rolling up into view from out
over the sea. She gave no heed to
this, for the sight of the beacon had
instantly alarmed her with the pos
sibility that Blake was still on the
headland, and would imagine that she
was seeking him.
She paused her cheeks aflame. But
the only sign of Blake that she could
see was the fire itself. She reflected
that he might very well have left be-
fore dawn. AS likely as not he had
descended at the north end of the
cleft and had gone off to the river to

all the color ebbed from her cheeks
and left her white and trembling
Again she stood hesitating. With a
sigh she started on toward the signal
staff.
She was close upon the border OF
the bird colony when Blake sat up and
she found herself staring into his
blinking eyes.
"Hello!" he mumbled, drowsily. He
sprang up wide awake, and flushing
with the guilty consciousness of what
he had done. Look at the SUBWAY
up! Didn't mean to oversleep, Miss
Leslie. You see l was up pretty late
tending the beacon. But of course
that's no excuse"
DON'T" she exclaimed. There were
tears in her eyes; yet she smiled as
she spoke. Il know what you mean
