FRAIL, SICKLY CHILD
Restored to Health by Vinol-
Letter to Mothers.

AeCCeT 10 MCInSTS.
Anxious mothers often wonder why
their children are SO pale, thin and
nervous and have so little appetite.
For the benefit of such mothers in
this vicinity we publish the following
letter.
J. Edmund Miller, New Haven,
Conn, says: my little daughter, ever
since her birth, had been frail and
sickly, and was a constant source of
worriment. Several months ago we
commenced to give her Vinol. inn
mediately noted an improvement in
her health and appearance. | gave
her three bottles of Vinol, and from
the good it has done her l can truly
say it will do all you claim"
This child's recovery was due to
the combined action of the medicinal
elements extracted from Gods livers,
combined with the blood-making
and strengthening properties of
tonic iron, which are contained in
Vinol.
Vinol will build up and strengthen
delicate children, old people and the
weak, rundown and debilitated. We
return the money in every case where
it fails.
