to know what remedy gives the best
satisfaction.
Mrs, Frank Fl. Uline, Of West Sand

years I was great sufferer from
bronchitis. Last July had an attack
which was more severe than any, and
my friends thought | could not recover
from 1t. Then l was advised by my
druggist to try Yinol, which I did,
with wonderful results. My cough
has left me; ] have gained in weight
and appetite, and l am as strong as

bronchitis. chronic coughs, or who arc
run down TO try Vipol,"
1t is the combined action or the
medicinal curative elements of the
Gods liver, without the greasy oil,
aided by the blood-maklng and
