tank or cistern, proceed as follows: Put
one ounce Of chloride of lime into a vesse
containing gallon of water, Shake OIL

AN AGED WOMAN
Tells How vinol Made Her Strong

In her eighty-second year Mrs John Wiekersham, of RusselKille, Pa, says: T was in a rundown, feeble condition and had lost flesh. A neighbor asked me to try Ninol, and after taking two bottles my strength returned; l am gaining in flesh, it has built up my health and l am feeling fine for woman of my age, so l get around and do my housework."
 The reason Vinol was 80 successful in Mrs. Wickersham's case was be- cause it contains the very clements needed to build her up.
