Bess could. The girl was almost as

a recent letter received from Mrs. A.

She says:-"I am SO years of age,
and had been ailing for a long time
with indigestion. I got rundown, was

The reason Vinol is so beneficial to
old people is because 1t contains the

cliniug strength with renewed vigor,

cod livers without oil, peptonate of
iron, beef peptone. and mild tonic
