This getting up every night
with the baby, or some of the
older children, is all wrong.
Not that the children are to
blame. If he’s the baby, prob
ably his food is wrong. Vinol
will help his mother stand the
strain of nursing.
We have often seen whole
families of older children who
keep the parents awake o’
nights. First one, then the
other is ailing.
These children seem well
enough at times; but they are
white, hollow-eyed, often list
less, with irregular appetites,
peevish and fretful, wakeful at
night and constantly taking cold.
The use of Vinol, in conjunc
tion with Vinlax to regulate the
bowels, will benefit these child
ren almost in a day.
There is nothing in Vinol that
can nurt them. It is pleasant
to take. If it doesn’t do the
work, we will give you the
money back.
