to one of the grandest sights which they
have ever seen, as the entire length of the

autumn foliage, more beautiful than it
has been for many years.
This is just the season of the year to
make the trip to the Mountains, and tie

MISCELLANEOUS.
It WILL NOT Do i.
Fat Taken Into the System
Does Not Make Fat.
Cod Liver ellis Popularity Largely
Due to This Erroneous Idea.
The Value of This Remedy Enhanced
by Doing Away With the Fat.

Fat taken into the stomach does not
make fat. Thousands OF physicians nave
prescribed cod liver oil for wasting dis
eases and all troubles that show them
selves in a decline of weight. Physicians
know that the fat or grease is not what
is necessary to make fat or tissue. They
also know that it Is one of the main
= things that make cod liver oil impracti-
cal in many cases. The fat is too rich to
be digested by stomach weakened by
disease. ~
When cod liver oil is given, often the
oil passes from the body in exactly the
same state in which 1t is received. Inc
reason doctors prescribe cod liver oil is
that it contains certain curative proper
ties. 1t is to take advantage 81 gnese
same curative properties THAI Uney nave
90 often tried to force their PATTERNS TO
take this horrible, greasy, yile-smelhng,
nauseating remedy.
There are but few people who have not
had experience in one way or anobner
with cod liver oil, and even the thougn5
of it's smell is enough to cause shudder.
When we think of these things 1t Is not
strange that everyone in our City is
sounding the praise of Vinol.
Tinol, which Mr.. Jas. d. Dolan is
handling, is the solution of an embarras'
sing puzzle that physicians have had to
contend with for years. Much has been
said In the past few days of this wonder
full discovery, and yet it would be impos-
sible TO say too much in its praise.
Vinol-Wine of Cod Liver Oil, will in
deed prove TO be Godsend of the most
precious kind AS we have described 1T
before, there IL no need now OF entering
into the subject at length; but just re.
member that in Vinol you can procure
all the m ,dicinal properties or curative
principles that make cod liver oil famous,
but Without the greasy fat, Vinoi con-
tains just the right amount OF the active
medicinal properties of the Gods liver
that is necessary for the cure OF such dis
eases as God liver oil has been prescribed
for.
This is a subject that everyone should
become familiar with, and we recommend
that you make inquiries of your druggist
in regard to Vinol, or if you will cali on
Mr.. Dolan, who has associated himself
with the New York chemists, who are
preparing this remedy, he will gladly
