I saw a cod liver preparation called Vinol advertised and decided to give it. a trial, and the re sults were most gratifying. After tak ing two bottles I regained my strength and am now feeling unusually well.” Henry Cunningham, Elder Bap tist Church, Kingston, N. C. Vinol is not a patent medicine—but a preparation composed of the medicinal elements of cods’ livers, combined with a tonic Iron and wine. Vinol creates a hearty appetite, tones up the organs of digestion and makes rich, red blood. In this natural manner, Vinol creates strength for the run-down, over worked and debilitated, and for deli cate children and old people. For chronic coughs, colds and bronchitis Vinol is unexcelled.

It Tastes Good and Creates Strength the famous cod liver and iron medicine, without oil.
