Times have changed" said a prom
inent chemist In this city the other day,
in talking Of the progress Of scientific dis
coverles, and especially those that af-
fected the practice Of medicine.
There are good many people alive
today who remember the awful concoc-
tons they used to be obliged to take when
they were sick. Pennyroyal, boneset tea,
sulphur and molasses, and do not know
what not, were remedies that would per-
haps do good If the patient only sur
vived the struggle to take them. You
know the taste Of quinine, I have no
doubt, and you probably are aware that
quinine has the active curative principles
OF cinchona bark. Imagine being obliged
to take large draughts OF an extract of
this most bitter of all drugs. Yet people
was discovered That Is why Vipol has
taken such great hold upon the public,
for Vinol is another illustration of how
much good can be done by taking the
active curative principles of g. remedy
rather than the remedy itself in crude
form.
It is the aim of scientific physicians to
administer all drugs possible in as small
quantity, but in as concentrated form
as they know how, For this reason many
drugs that were formerly given have ap-
but are still being administered under
different names In their active principles
Here is letter from a brother chemist
that will explain Itself. Il l. from Mr.,
writes in regard to Vinol, giving to 1t its
value largely on the ground that 1t con
tains the active curative principles Of the
Gods liver. He writes to Chester Kent &
''You have surely succeeded in accom-
plishing, that which you started out to.
Many drawbacks have always attended
physicians and patients alike, up to the
time of some Of our more recent and i'm
portant discoveries. In the, old days II
must have been a very difficult matter
isteri it In its original form, namely, The
lraw cinchona bark. I know how difficult
| 1t was In cases where 1t was necessary t.
administer opium, to obtain beneficial
curative principles of this valuable drug
morphine.
"There are thousands in the land WHIT
are not chemists but who have learned
by sad experience how very hard 1t hal
been to take cod liver oil on account o
its terrible taste and unfavorable actor
done away with, since you have succeed
ed in obtaining the active medicinal prin
ciples from the Gods liver, free from al
A Objectionable features,
/ II have found that Vinol does stand il
the same relation to cod liver oil as doe
quinine to cinchona bark, morphine t.
opium, atrophia to belladonna and nu
merous other of the active principles Il
the old and cumbersome form of drugs.
| "Vfnol, as far as taste and smell go, i
positive luxury. Its action upon the sys
tenn as a tonic reconstructor is most won
derful. You have my most hearty con
| gratulations for your success in this prep
aration.
"Itl is Just because we can now admin
lister those very valuable remedial fea
lures for which cod liver oil was Away:
| famous, in this concentrated and deli
cious form that people will never cease
to be thankful for the discovery Of Vinol'
Yours very truly, BREWER & CO.
