THE BEST
STRENSTHEHER.
THE REASON
Is the best creator of
strength, the best blood
purifier and the best
nerve tonio is that it
contains the very best
medicines intended for
use in theso cases.
It contains in right
proportions medicines
used every day by the
best doctors.
It is palatably com
bined and does not in
any way derange the di
gcstive organs, as do so
many preparations that
contain Ood Liver Oil.
Lime, Soda, Potash,
lron and Maganese com
bined with the active
principle of Ood Liver
Oil, makes a Tonic that
is the best obtainable.
We cannot speak too
strongly of VIN-GU-OL,
because we know that it
is such a good medicine.
It nover fails to build
strength, create appetite,
and invigorate the whole
system.
It makes people well.
