AFTER SEVERE SICKNESS
How Many PeopL. In This City Have
 Recovered Strength ?

There is one great drawback to re- covery for a person who has been sick. and that is poor devitalized blood and consequent weakness, ner- vousness and depleted strength. If people in this city, who have been ill and are still in a weakened condition could only realize the value of Ninol to enrich the blood, create a hearty appetite and restore strength, drug gists would not be able to supply the demand.
 For all rundown, nervous, anaemic conditions, and for delicate children and feeble old people, there is no other remedy like Vinol.
