THE HOME OF VIH0L
To Old People
If the people of this town only knew
the good Vinol does old people, we could
not get enough to supply the demand.
With old age comes feebleness and loss of
power, lack of strength and vigor. To
prove our belief that Vinol is the great
est strengthener, body builder, and in-
vigorator for old folks, we say to all-
try it, and if you are not satisfied we
will return your money.
