Greensboro, N. C. "For a long

tated that I could hardly drag around.
iif appetite was poor and I could not

called tonics without benefit I was
advised to try your cod liver and
Iron tonic. Vinol, and I am bo glad I
did, for It gave me a hearty appetite,
I toon commenced to sleep soundly,
and I feel strong, well and more ac
tive than I have for years. Every run
down or debilitated person should
Just give Vinol a trial." K. Allsbroot.
What Vinol did for Mr. Allsbrook
