WEAK. AILIEG CHILDREN
Made We'll and Strong by Simple
 Remedy.

Remedy.
 Here is another letter that has just come to our attention, showing the power of Vinol to build up health and strength for weak, puny, ailing chil dren.
 w. A. Smith, of Shanesville, Ohio, says: My little child was puny, weak and ailing, could not rest at night and would not eat. l learned about Vinol and tried it, and within a week noticed an improvement. The child's appetite improved, it slept well, strength and health were soon built up. We think Vinol is excellent for weak, puny children"
 Ninol is a delicious combination of beef and cod liver peptones, iron and manganese peptonares; |. and glycero- phosphates which creates an appetite, tones up the digestive organs, en- riches the blood and creates strength. Children love to take it.
 We ask all parents of weak, sick1y, delicate children in this vicinity to try Vinol with the understanding that we will return your money if it fails to benefit your little ones.
 Broadway Pharmacy, G. G. Engler, Proprietor, Norwich. Vino1 is sold in Willimantic by the Wilson Drug Co.,, in Danielson by the A. w. Williams Pharmacy, and in Putnam by J. F. Donahue. Also at the leading drug stores in all Connecticut towns.
