HOW TO CURE A
CHRONIC COUGH
Told in the Following Letter
by a Jackson Man Who
Knows from Experience.
His Word Is Good.

jackson, Miss.-"I am a carpenter,
and the grippe left me not only with q
chronic cough, but / was rundown,
worn out and weak. / took all kinds OF
cough syrups but they did me no good.
/ finally got so weak was not able to
do day s work, and coughed so much /
was alarmed about my condition. One
evening l read about Vinol and decided
to try it. Before / had taken quarter
of bottle / felt better, and after taking
two bottles my cough is99ntireiy cured,
all the bad symptoms have disappeared
and / have gained new vim and energy. "
JOHN L. DENNIS, I'll Lynch Street,
Jackson, Miss.
The reason Vinol is SO successful in
such cases is because the active medic
inal principles of cod liver oil contained
in Vinol rebuilds wasting tissues and
supplies strength and vigor to the nerves
and muscles while the tonic iron and
wine assist the red corpuscles OF the
blood to absorb oxygen and distribute
it through the system, thus restoring
health and strength to the weakened,
diseased organs Of the body.
If Vinol fails to help you, we return
your money.
