MOTHERS WHO WORRY
Because Their Children Are filling
 Should Take This Aaviee

There is always a good reason why child is ssfrail, and the trouble is often traced to poor blood, which is caused by undernourishment. Of course every mother feeds her child regularly, but does the food digest and nourish, the body :? Mostly no, when the child is thin and ailing. Many mothers in this city have found that a preparation of Cod Liver and Iron, called Vinol, is the best remedy for this condition. It contains no oil for children to object to, but it does contain the most famous tonics known to medicine, as will be seen by read ing the formula on the label. We ad- wise mothers to try it.
