INDIGESTION OVERCOME

Overcome by Simple Remedy.
Hurried and careless habits OF eat
ing, irregular meals and foods that
do not harmonize, tend to weaken
the digestive organs and result in
different forms of stomach trouble.
II you are one Of the unfortunates
who have drifted into this condition,
eat simple foods only, slowly, regu-
larly and take Vinol, our delicious
cod liver and iron tonic.
Mrs. H. J. Smith, Thomasville, Ca,
says: IT suffered from a stomach
trouble, was tired, worn out and ner-
vous. A friend advised me to take
Vinol My stomach trouble soon dis
appeared and now eat heartily and
have a perfect digestion and I wish
every tired. weak woman could have
Vinol, for I never spent any money
in my life that did me so much good"
The recovery Of Mrs. Smith was
due to the combined action Of the
medicinal elements of the Gods livers
aided by the blood making and
strength creating properties Of tonic
iron, which are contained in Vinol.
We will return the purchase money
every time vinol fails to benefit.
