VIN MARIANI
_Nourishes_ = _Fortifies_
_Refreshes_
_Aids Digestion_ = _Strengthens the System_.
Unequaled as a tonic-stimulant for fatigued or overworked Body and
Brain.
Prevents Malaria, Influenza and Wasting Diseases.
We cannot aim to gain support for our preparation through cheapness;
we give a uniform, effective and honest article, and respectfully ask
personal testing of =Vin Mariani= strictly on its own merits. Thus the
medical profession can judge whether =Vin Mariani= is deserving of the
unequaled reputation it has earned throughout the world during more
than 30 years.
Inferior, so-called Coca preparations (variable solutions of Cocaine
and cheap wines), which have been proven worthless, even harmful in
effect, bring into discredit and destroy confidence in a valuable drug.
We therefore particularly caution to specify always "VIN MARIANI," thus
we can guarantee invariable satisfaction to physician and patient.
