Good Tasting r?f Medicine Cod liver oil is in universal re pute as the best body builder in wasting diseases, and the best reconstructed in recovery from severe sickness known to medicine. Nevertheless, three-fourths of the people are really made sick by the taste and smell of cod liver oil. Half of them can't take it. Their stomachs cither reject it, or are so upset by it that the dose docs more harm than good. Vinol is the only preparation of rod liver oil which contains no grease or bad taste yet does con tain all the virtue ot cod uver oil, and is deliciously palatable. It also contains organic iron. Iron gives quality to the blood. Almost every ailing person needs it. The combination of these two elements with table wine is both scientific and effective. It has accomplished wonderful things right here in town. We think we are doing a service to every run-down, ailinrr. couching, ner vous, debiltated person in calling attention to Vinol. We sen it on its merits money back if it does not help you. You run no risk. Old people revive under its influ ence. Nursin? mothers and over worked people get new vitality.
