two years Of age. is a retired Vet

strengthened and benefited great
deal by Vinol. My long experience
with first class physicians and nurses
enables me to discriminate in medi-
cines and 1 must say Vinol has
proved its Wonderful qualities to
relieve and strengthen the whole

stances. When the blood is thin and
needs strengthening, and to build up a.
depleted system. nothing equals

Nothing equals Vinol to strengthen
old people because the tonic iron, the

elements needed to rebuild wasting
