COUGHED NIGHT AND DAY
How This Little Orphan Boy Was
Cured.

We want the people of I1attiesburgl
to Know that all letters like the fol-
lowing are truthful and genuine:
Towanda, Pa.-"I took little or
phan boy to live with me and last
Christmas he contracted hard cold
which developed into bronchitis. He
was very i'll and bad cough set in
SO that he coughed night and day.
After trying everything, nothing
seemed to do him any good, until
along in February | got bottle of
Vinol. After using half the bottle his
cough began to improve, and two bot
ties entirely cured his bronchitis and
he gained in weight SO that he doesn't
look like the same child" Harry A.
Towanda, Pa.
The reason that cough syrups fail
in such cases is because they are
palliative only, while vinol removes
the cause, being constitutional rem
edy in which are combined beef and
cod liver peptones, iron and manga
nese peptonates and glycerophos-
pilates. 1t strengthens and revitalizes
the entire system and assists nature
to expel the disease.

strength and health all the time since
taking Tanlac. She looks so much
better all our neighbors are talking
