AFTER SICKNESS
How to Recover Strength.


 So many Norwich people are asking how to recover their strength after sickness that we are publishing this information for their benefit.
 After grippe, pleurisy, pneumonia or any illness what you need Is new strength and richer blood.
 The moot certain way to get this is by taking Vfnol which contains beef and cod liver peptones, iron, man ganese peptonates and glycerophos- phates. It creates strength, improves the blood, sharpens the appetite and restores the entire system to a healthy robust condition.
 North Adams. Mass-"After a long illness of pneumonia I was left in a weakened, delicate condition, and for a long time had searched for a body builder and strength creator. I was attracted by an advertisement of Vinol, and tried a bottle, and soon noticed a vast improvement. I con- tinued it's use for a while, and am now as able bodied and strong as any man in town" Samuel Wood, North Adams, Mass.
 Try a bottle of Vino1 Your money will be returned if it does not restore your vitality and strength
