NOTICE TO NERVOUS WOMEN
Mrs. Selbert Tells How Yon Can; Over
come Nervous Conditions.
Louisville, Ky. "I suffered badly
from nervousness, a run-down condi
tion, no appetite and pains in my back
until I just had to give up. A friend
told me about Vinol and I felt better
after taking the second bottle. Now I
have a good appetite and am feeling
fine, strong and healthy in every way."
Mrs. I. F. Seibert.
The reason Vinol was so successful
in Mrs. Seibert's case, is because it con
tains the very elements needed to build
up a weakened, run-down system, make
rich, red blood and create strength.
