EACOh, GA. CHILD
Made Strong and We'll by Vinol

When we tell you that Vinol is the best remedy in our whole stock for making weak, puny, ailing children strong, robust and rosy we are only telling you what has been proved by hundreds of mothers.
 J. L. Tickling, Macon, Ga, says: ''My child was very thin and delicate, no appetite. nervous, and did not sleep well. Doctors did not help her. Vinol was recommended and the change after a fair trial was wonder. ful. She sleeps soundly all night, has a splendid appetite and has gained in weight. I wish every mother knew what Vinol will do for delicate chill dren."
 What vinol did for this little girl it will do for every weak and ai,.ng child because sickly children need the strengthening cod liver elements and the tonic iron that Vinol con tains-that is why Vinol builds them up quickly and gives them a fine, healthy color. It is pleasant to take and we guarantee that the results will satisfy you-money back if they do not

As they grow with the tree they turn black and make the wood of the older trees black
