dc this not to start an argument, but!
merely to keep the record straight. ;
On April 5th? in one of my articles, j 1

"For quite a time the commission- j

I also stated that, after crediting the ! us

To Mothers of Delicate Children
i Palmyra, Pa.?"My little girl had a
, chronic cough and was so thin vou could
count her ribs and she had no appetite.
' Nothing we gave her seemed to help her,
- until one day Mrs. Neibert asked rae to
f try Vinol, and now she is hungry all the
' time, her cough is gone, she is stouter
- and has a more healthy color. I wish J
; every mother who has a delicate child M
j would try Vinol."?Mrs. Alfred Slack.
I We guarantee Vinol, our delicious cod fl
! liver and iron tonic, to make delicate
1 children healthy and strong . "
