He now weighs o ver 63 kilograms (138 pounds), and is of normal strength, altnough he eats much less than before the treatment. p â€" Vinol soothes and heals the inflamed surfaces and allays the cough. Vinol creates an appetite, strengthens the digestive organs and gives the patient atrength to throw off incipient pulme mary diseases.
