StOmach Troubles
 Cured by VinOl
HERE IS PROOF

"I suffered so long from stomach trouble and indigestion, that I lost flesh rapidly = VINOL cured me after everything else had failed. It strengthened my digestive organs gave me hearty appetite, and I can eat anything without the slight est distress. 1 do not believe any thing equals VINOL for stomach trouble and indigestion"
 w. k. WAREHOUSE,
 Portland, Me. Mir. Thos. G Wallace, of Detroit, Mich, writes, 1T suffered for years from a chronic stomach trouble. VINOL entirely cured me after everything else had failed"
 It is the curative medicinal ele- ments of the cod's liver, combined with the strengthening properties of tonic iron contained in VINOL, which makes it so successful in re- storing perfect digestion, and at the same time building up the weak ened rundown system.
 Trya bottle of VINOL with the understanding that your moneywill be returned if it does not help you.
