from a recent letter received from
Mrs. a. z. Carson OF Kingston. y. \.
She says:-'I am So year= Of
age, and had been ailing for a long
time with indigestion. I got rundown.
was weak, dizzy and could not sleep

who said l had hardening OF the ar
teries and at my age could not e1-
pect to be strong again. AIy dauch-
ter would give me no peace until
tried Ninol, as IL had done so much
for her. I have taken FIVE bottles and
my health and strength have come
back, so I am able TO do all the house
work for my family OF four. and am
recommending Ninol to all my friends"
The reason Ninol is so beneficial to
old people is because IL contains the
very elements needed to replace de-
Ginning strength with renewed vigor.
