SLEPT SIX WEEKS

When the strange case of tbs Iowa
woman who had slept constantly for
43 days was reported, many people
who could not sleep at all wished
that they might have similar ex-
per:ence
You would be surprised To know
how many people there are right
around here who hardy ever get
more than two or three hours sleep
at night, owing to bad health, gen
eral weakness and worn-out condi-
ton. Miss Louisa Ludwig, Newark,
N. j., who went through all this has
written letter saying:
"Having felt weak, tired and bad
ly rundown, with little appetite, and
inability to sleep well, I began to
take Vinol which I had heard was
the best remedy for that condition.
It has done me great good by build
ing up and enabling me to sleep
soundly."
If you are worn out and weak and
want new strength so you can eat
well, sleep well, and be well, Vinol,

edy is what you need, and we guar

that the entire bottom had dropped
