ULO TIMES AND NEW.
Modern Methods Make Life
Much More Worth Living.
Especially True in Medicine.
In These Days Doctors Save Greater
Number of Lives. and Avert Much
Sickness, by Having More
Active Remedies.

Our forefathers did not have suoh de-
nehtful time, after all. just think OF the
round about way they were Obliged to &C.
coynplish the many things that are done
by us every day. almost without thought
by means of mo dern inventions. linen
think of what happened to them when
they were sick. Lucky was the man
who was not bounced upon by DOCTOR
and often literally bled to death. FL
That was only a starter OF what was
soon to follow. Long, deep draugn1s
brewed from horrible tasting herbs were
continually administered. Remedies
without number, each worse than the
other. followed quickly. No wonder SO
many of our ancestors died young. No
wonder life insurance statistics show that
we come from short-lived race.
1t is in medicine like everything else.
The day of barbarism in treatment is
nearly over. No longer does the doctor
deprive the patient of his very LIES piooo
right at time when he needs every par
ticle of strength. No longer does he com,
Del the poor sufferer to absorb untoio
amounts of barks, herbs and mineral So
lutions right at time when Nature
should be left to herself to straighten out
what might only be slight trouble.
The modern physician knows that he
can administer tine vital principles or Nil
remedies in concentrated form. You &c
not find your doctor brewing tea or ask
ing YOU TO chew huge quantities Of Gin.
chona bark, where Quinine is necessary
No longer, does he administer bolus OF
Opium to deaden pain. Not much. A
hypodermio syringe charged with the ac'
tive principles of opium morphine does
the work better snd does not do as much
damage for Nature to repair.
Right on this line comes news Of a re-
cent discovery that will undoubtedly
prove to be the most valuable one YET
made, It is that of Vinol Wine of Coo
Liver Oil, which Is nothing mora nor LEST
than a concentrated extract Of the active
medicinal principles found in the liver OF
the live cod.
Tbs above explanation is about all that
is necessary to give one, in order that ~
may understand the full value OF tn1s
discovery. Everyone knows the uses fol-
which cod liver Oil has been prescribed.
Everyone knows it's Objectionable feat
ures. Everyone realizes that there are
many cases of wasting diseases that could
have been cured by the use OF COD hvei
obnoxious remedy; but every one does not
know that when they were taking COO
liver oil in it's old form. they were absorb
ing into the system a vast a uount OF vile
smelling, notwithstanding grease that
was absolutely powerless of doing them
any good, but were simply taking 1t be-
cause it was a vehicle that conveyed the
peculiar medicinal principles that 1t was
the intention of the doctor to give tx
them. 49,.
Here is where this new discovery will
benefit the world. These principles, sepa
rated from the fat and all other unneces
sary features, dissolved in a delicious tabl'
wine, can now be administered even t.
the most delicate patient, without III
being apparent that cod liver o IL or any
thing connected with it is being taken
The greater strength of the new prepare
tion will also enable the patient.to receive
O greater amount Of necessary medicine
than was possible to administer before
The consequence will be that the good fol
which the medicine is desired will be 40
complished in a much quicker time. Th'
harm that was formerly caused to stom
achs already weakened by disease will b
entirely averted and the result will b.
that Vinol in but a few years will entire
~ supersede, as a medicine, cod liver OF
in any other known form.
