GIRL COULD NOT SLEEP

Miss Van Steenburg, a Brooklyn girl, lately found herself unable to sleep. Of course she was worried because there is nothing that will more quickly and certainly wreck health than to be unable to rest at night.
 Now sleeplessness is just a synp- tom of failing health, and is caused by unequal circulation of the blood. Someone evidently gave her some good advice for she says in 6 recent letter, T had been all run down and tired out for some time and got so could not sleep nights. I had heard so much about Vinol that I tried it and found it highly satisfactory.
