As one grows old the waste of the system becomes more rapid than re pair, the organs act more slowly and less effectually than in youth, the cir culation is poor, the blood thin and digestion weak. Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron tonic without 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 against colds and thus prevents pneumonia. A grandnelce of Alexander Hamil ton, over eighty years of age, once 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 tonic and strength-creator I have ever used." If Vinol falls to build up the feeble old people, and create strength, we will return your money. Pickens Drug Co., Pickens, S. C. Auditor's Notice.
