I tell others of the great benefit I have
derived from Vinol, for the past several
years. I am 81 years old and I find Vi
nol gives me strength, a healthy appe
tite and overcomes nervous disorders.
Vinol is the only tonic reconstructor I
have used for several years. I hav
recommended It to a great many of my
friends and it has always proved satls-
zactory. Mrs. m. A.
Greenville, S. C.
Such cases as the above are constantly
coming to our attention. If people In
this vicinity only realized how vinol in
vigorates old people we would not be
able to supply the demand.
It is the tissue building, curative ele
ments of the cod's livers, aided by the
blood making strengthening properties
of tonic iron contained in vinol, that
makes it so successful in building up
strength for old people, delicate chil
dren and for all run-down conditions.
Vinol is also a most successful remedy
for chronic coughs, colds and bronchitis.
If it fails to benefit any ono who tries
it we return your money.
