TRADE MARK

*Bynol' is a perfect combination of Norwegian Cod-Liver: Oil with the finest Malt Extract and possesses unique nutritive and body building properties. As an energising and protective food for children and adults it has no superior. Although containing a very high proportion of Cod-Liver Oil the taste of this is so effectively masked in Bynol that it can be taken readily in cases where the oil alone could not be tolerated.

The Following letter testifies to the pleasant taste of this preparation.
