AFTER THE GRIPPE Vinol Restored This Man’s Strength “Several years ago I was attacked by a severe case of grippe, which left me with a hacking cough, soreness in my chest, and bronchitis. I took nearly every kind of cough syrup sold on the market, besides medicine given me by physicians. I received no permanent relief until my druggist asked me to try Vinol, and after taking three bottles I was entirely cured. I believe Vinol to be the greatest blessing ever offered to the public, as it does what is claimed for it.” R. E, R, Hicks, Maplesville, Ala. The reason Vinol cures chronic coughs, colds and pulmonary troubles is because it contains tonic Iron and all the healing and body building elements of cod liver oil but no oil. Vinol is also unexcelled as a strength builder for old people, delicate children, weak and run-down persons, and after ■iekaesa. Smith Yager'&Falk Drngists
