Because Vinol contains in a concen trated form ALL of the medicinal cur ative elements found in cod liver oil, but without a drop of oil to nauseate and upset the stomach; therefore, wherever old-fashioned cod liver oil or emulsions will do good, Vinol will do far more good. Because we have never sold anything; in our store equal to Vinol to restore health and create strength for old peo ple, weak, sickly women and children, nursing mothers, and after a severe sickness. Vinol cures hacking coughs, chronic colds, bronchitis, and all throat and. lung troubles. A prominent physician writes: " Vinol is the; most palatable and valuable preparation of cod liver oil ever compounded. I now use it entirely in all cases where I formerly depended upon old-fashioned cod liver oil and emulsions." ' Try Vinol on our guarantee to return your money if you are1 not satisfied.
