**
An outstanding feature of Wincarnis is its extraordinary power in rebuilding exhausted vitality, and in promoting new strength new vigour - enu, rich, red blood-and nerve force. And the reason Wincarnis does this, is because it is a Tonic, and a Restorative. and a Blood-maker, and a Nerve Food-all combined in one rich, delicious, healthgiving preparation.
That is why over 10,000 Doc. tors have recommended Win." carais.
And it is also the reason why countless thousands of Weak, Anemic. Nervous and Run- down Men and Wemen have obtained renewed health- enriched blood - invigorated nerves, and a fund of new vitality from Wincarnis.
And what Winearnis has done for others it will surely do for you.
