There have reached US rumors Of new
discovery. Something that will revoiu-
tionize the practice of medicine. A rem
edv that has given suffererssfrom wasting
diseases hopes of renewed health and pro-
longed life.
OF enough Importance have these
stories appeared that special interview
with Mr.. Jas. D. Dolan, of Portland,
who is interested himself in this new
nraparation which is called Vinol, was
thought advisable.
Our reporter had no difficulty in finding
Mr.. Dolan's place of business The hrst
man he met said: "Oh yes, Mr.. Dolan Is

always thought cod liver oil would help,

The reporter hesitated. The thought

them, brought back memories of the past,

MIR. Dolan laughed. "Well, that is

it surely did not. "Now," said Mr..
Dolan. ''let me tell you something else.

The reporter thanked Mr.. Dolan for his
