Such disinterested and reliable testi-

merits of Vinol, our delicious cod liver
and iron tonic to build up health and
strength for all weakened and nervous
conditions, whether caused from over
work, worry or chronic coughs and colds.
If Vinol fails to benefit we return your

Immediately after the ceremony
