SKIN ERUPTIoNs
Evidence Of Impure Blood and a
Rundown Condition.

When the blood becomes thin,
poor, deyitalized nature cries out
through such external evidence
for help, and the safest, surest
and most helpful remedy we
know is Vinol.
This is because it is a combi-
ration of the two most world
famed tonics-the medicinal cur
alive elements of cod liver oil
without the OILY and tonic iron
for the blood. Vinol strengthens
the digestive organs, creates a
hearty appetite, purifies and en-
riches the blood, creates strength.
Mrs. Helen Wingate, St. Louis,
Mo, says: II was in very poor
health, nervous and rundown
and nothing in the way of medi-
cine did me amy good until my
druggist recommended Vinol. 1t
built up my health, restored my
strength and I feel that owe
