HOW TO RESIST
Chronic Coughs and Colds.

Strong vigorous men and women
hardly ever catch cold; it's only when
the system is run down and vitality
low that colds and coughs get foot
hold
Now isn't it reasonable that the
right way TO cure cough is to build
up your strength again?
Mrs. Olivia Parham, of East Dur
ham, n. c.. says: 81 took Vinol for
chronic cough which had lasted two
years, and the cough not only disap-
peared, but it built up my strength
as well.
The reason vinol is so eficacous in
such cases is because it contains in
delicious concentrated form all the
medicinal curative elements of cod
liver oil, with tonic, blood-bui,ding
Iron added
Chronic coughs and colds yield to
Vinol because it builds up the weak
ened, rundown system.
You can get your money back any
time il Vinol does not do all we say.
