I PUHT CHILDREN .
Words cf Interest to Every Mother tar
Walterboro.
“Surely, mothers are no L to blame
for that which they cannot help,” said
oar well known druggist, Mr John M.
Klein, during a recent interview, “bol
when we see so many thin, pale-faced
and puny children on our streets we
cannot help feeling that mothers are
to blame, aud we wish we could tell
every mother in Wat ter boro what Ylnol
will do for her children.
Viojd is not a patent medicine, bet
it contains in a highly concentrated
forth all the strength-creating and body
building elements of cod livtr oil,
actually taken from fresh cods’ livens
without graae or oil. It does not upset
tbe stomach like old-fashioned cod liver
oil and emulsions, and its taste js so de
li cions that children love it. ‘
Vinol strengthens the most delicate
stomach, makes rich, red blood, builds
strong bone etructure, creates hard,
firm flash tistns and rosy-cheeked,
sturdy children are the inevitable re-
suit. . . ■ • / :•
