Letter TO Mothers.

ACllSl ~ &YASk4AS&Ss
Anxious mothers often wonder why
their children are so pale, thin and
nervous and have so little appetite.
For the benefit Of such mothers In

letter.
J. Edmund Miller, New Haven,
Conn, says: my little daughter, ever
since her birth, had been frail and
sickly, and was a constant source OF
worriment. Several months ago We
commenced to give her Vinol. I i'm
mediately noted an improvement IN
her health and appearance. I gave
her three bottles Of Vinol, and from
the good it has done her 1 can truly
say it will do all you claim"
This child's recovery was due to
the combined action Of the medicinal
clements extr cted from Gods livers,
combined with the blood-making
and strengthening properties Of
