Snld Mr. Roger. "After having old drug and ull kind and make of medi cine for o many year, naturally we have learned someethlng about them, their value, and power to cure. There Is no one medicine that will cure everything, but this I da know, that If the people of Astoria only re allxed the wonderful curative nnd strength-creating power of Vlnol. 1 would not have clerks enough In my store to put up the orders for It," Continued Mr, Rogers: "You see VI nol I not a patent medicine, and it actually does contain every one of the GO odd medicinal curative taken from fresh cods' livers, with other vltallx- Ing ingredients. It contains no poison ou drugs or nauseating oil, and you know Just what you are taking. Vlnol has wonderful life-giving properties; It tones up and Invigorates every organ of the body to do Its work, and we know It will make rich, red blood, build up the depleted system nnd crente trength "When I tell you that we have never sold In our store such a valuable rem edy as Vlnol for the following ailments, and that if It falls to accomplish what w say it will, wo will refund your money, It will show our faith In its wonderful curative and vitalising powers "It will build up run-down, tired, de bilitated people. It will make the weak and alckly strong and well It will make flesh for thin people. It will Increase the appetite. It will cure nervousness, irritability and sleepless ness. It will cure stomach troubles, dyspepsia and indigestion. It will make rich, red blood. It will make weak, puny, ailing children strong and robust. It Is the greatest atrengthener and body builder In the world for old people. It la a great atrengthener for weak women. It la a boon to nursing mothers. It will positively cure chonto coughs and colds. It cures bronchitis. It makes weak lungs strong and is of untold value In consumption and all wasting diseases. For the convalesc ent it has no equal aa a strength mnk er. "I cannot make a stronger statement and can only ask such people In Asto ria to try Vinol on my guarantee."
