DON'T SAY YOU'RE OLD
You Only Feel Old

Digestive organs are weak-dont
assimilate food as they used to.
Other organs act more slowly and
less effectually.
Blood is thin and sluggish.
Renewal of strength does not equal
the wear and tear of your system.
That's what makes you feel old.
Nothing in the world will tone up
and invigorate those weak, back-slid-
ing organs, make rich blood and Gre
ate strength so quickly as Vinol.
