Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron tonic vithout oil, is the ideal strengthener and body-builder for old folks, for it contains the very ele ments needed to rebuild wasting tis sues and replace weakness with strength. Vinol also fortifies the sys tem againet colds and thus prevents pneumonia. A grandneice of Alexander Hamil ton, over eighty years of age, onca remarked: "Vinol is a godsend to old people. Thanks to Vinol, I have a hearty appetite, sleep soundly, feel active and well. It is the finest tonis and strength-creator I bav3 ever; used."
