TIRED WORKING MEN
A Local Druggist Suggests a
Remedy For Overworked,
Rundown Men.

The following letter from Manager
Hodes recounts the experience and
condition of many Harrisburg men.
Read this letter and our offer which
follows:
Brooklyn, n. Y. "I am a general
office manager and became so ner-
vous and rundown in health that
lost my appetite and finally my health
broke down completely, largely be-
cause of oVerwork. / tried Beef Iron
and Wine, and other remedies with
out help. I saw Vinol advertised. and
soon after taking 1T L noticed m
improvement. 1 now have a hearty
appetite, sleep better, feel better and
have gained considerable in weight"
Samuel Hodes, sol Stone Ave
The reason Vinol is so successful in
such cases is because it contains the
three oldest and most famous tonics
viz.--the medicinal elements of fresh
cod livers without oil, peptonate uf
iron and beef peptone.
We ask every rundown, over worked
man in Harrisburg to try a bottle of
Vinol with the understanding that
their money will be returned il it
fails to help them as 1t did Mr.. Hodes.
