This Distressing Situation.

Collinsville, III. --"I suffered from q
nervous breakdown and terrible head
aches, and was tired all over, totally
worn out and too discouraged to enjoy
life, but as had four in family and
sometimes eight or nine boarders, kept
on working despite my suffering.
f" I saw Vinol advertised and decided
to try 1t, and within two weeks i
noticed a decided Improvement In my
condition and now / am well woman.
Mrs. ANA BECKER, Collinsyille, iii.
There are hundreds Of nervous, rum
down, overworked women in this vicinity
who are hardly able to drag around and
who we are sure would be wonderfully
benefited by Vinol as Mrs. Becker was.
The reason Vinol Is so successful in
building up health and strength in such
cases is because 1t combines the medici-
nal tissue building and curative elements
of Gods livers together with the blood
making, strengthening properties Of
tonic iron. We ask every weak, ner-
vous, rundown man or woman In this
vicinity to try bottle Of Vinol on our
guarantee to return their money If 1t
fails TO benefit.

naturally be the surface offerings in

to secure capital for development

Delta would soon have a payroll worth
