COD LIVER OIL AND IRON
Two Most World Famed Tonics
G~-a-> IT..

Combined in VinoI.
Cod Liver oil and Iron have proved
to be the two most successful tonics
the world has ever known-iron for
the blood and the medicinal curative
elements of cod liver oil as a strength
and tissue builder for body and
nerves, and for the successful treat
ment of throat and lung troubles.
Two eminent French chemists dis
covered a method of separating the
curative medicinal elements OF the
Gods livers from the oil or grease
which is thrown away !, but to these
medicinal elements tonic iron is now
added, thus combining in vinol the
two most world famed tonios.
AS a body-builder and strength Gre
ator for weak. rundown people, for
feeble old people, delicate children,
to restore strength after sickness;
and for chronic coughs, colds, bron-
chitis or pulmonary troubles we ask
You to try Vinol with the understand
ing that your money will be returned
If it does not help you.
