WHAT THEY'D SEE.
Suppose Science Had Made
Greater Strides on One
of the Stars Than it
Has With Us,
What Would the Inhabitants of the
Star Think of Our Methods ?
Would Our Wonderful Discoveries Sur
prise Themf

1T is rather funny to think Of what the
inhabitants of some of the stars would see,
did they have glasses strong enough to see
objects distinctly upon this earth
Strange and wonderful things have hap
pened on this sphere. Perhaps more mar
velous inventions have been made on
others.
There is one thing about such a sup
position, however. and that is that man
living on one of the stars that is scarcely
discernible to our naked eye, would see
very strange things were he able to look
clearly at the world.
If such a man should have a glass pow
erful enough to study us closely, he would
not see us. He would see our ancestors
people who lived a hundred years ago.
This is because it takes that long for a
ray of light to traverse the intervening
distance.
The consequence is that such an expert
ment, could it take place. would not give
hin very good opinion of our methods
as ,hey really exist, for h~would entirely
miss seeing many of our recent dis
coveries, and 1t would be nearly hundred
years before our latest, and one of our
grandest achievementS-Nin inol--would be
flashed upon his or one of his descendants S
vision.
1t is a good deal this way with some
people. II takes a very long while for a
truth to penetrate to their brain. Never
theless 1t is just such people who, when
they once learn of the value of new
article. are after all the loudest in its
praise"
The above is what Mr.. George E. Fair
banks remarked yesterday in discussing
that, great discovery that has set the
whole world wondering.
Il do not" said he, mean to say that
it has been difficult to make the public in
general understand about Vinol, but it has
been rather hard to convince certain peo-
pie who hold tenaciously to old ideas that
1t would be possible to derive benefit from
medicine so delightfully."- pleasant to
take.
Such people cannot separate in their
minds the blessings that are contained in
cod liver oil from the awful drawback of
this really valuable medicine. its disgust
ing grease, vile smell and awful taste.
Such people have that old-fashioned idea
that the worse medicine tastes the more
good it will do, but, after all, the light of
knowledge is penetrating minds of even
those who belong to this class. In the few
weeks that so much has been said about
Vinol, there has been sufficient time to
demonstrate to the public its great ability
to accomplish a wonderful amount of good
in much shorter time than 1t was ever
possible where cod liver oil in any other
form was used.
The hundreds of people who have learned
how pleasant 1t is to take Vinol, and how
real the good which it accomplishes is,
are doing more to spread the truth than
could be accomplished in any other way
Am I satisfied with the results of who'll
Well, I should think that / was. I would
indeed be pretty hard to please if l was
not satisfied. In all my experience have
never met with a remedy that has In SO
short a time demonstrated its ability to
accomplish all that is claimed for it, nor
one that has so quickly established itself
In the hearts of the vast number OF people
who for so many years used cod liver oil
as a tonic reconstructor.
Until repairs are completed in my store
Vinol will be found on sale at the store OF
Brewer & Co., Front street.
