attention of a faithful husband. and the
hair-brained man who thinks all there is
to life is to house, feed and clothe his

Overcome by Simple Remedy.
Hurried and careless habits Of eat.
ing, irregular meals and foods that
do not harmonize, tend to weaken
the digestive organs and result in
different forms of stomach trouble.

who have drifted into this condition,
eat simple foods only, slowly, regu-
larry and take Vinol, our delicious
cod liver and iron tonic.

Vinol, for I never spent any money
