II would like to have you read this
letter coming from Mr.. Graves of
Northampton" said Mr.. o. C. Webster
of the well known firm of Bowditch,
Webster & Co. Mr.. Graves is chem
list we'll known and of many years ex-
perience. He writes as follows:
MY opinion of Vinol and the good it
will do is that it is the greatest dis
covery of the age.
The reason that Ninol does good is
that no harm is ever accomplished
when it is used.
God liver oil in its old form, to be
sure, would often do good, but when it
did, it did good in spite of itself. The
reason that in some cases it was bene-
fetal was that the really valuable
medicine which was part of it was 50
truly efficient that it was able to over
come the obnoxious and stomach dis
turbing oil which enveloped it.
In most cases, however, valuable as
these remedial features We're they We're
impotent to counterfeit the harm done
by the oil. Right here is where Vinol' $
great benefit becomes apparent. You
| have separated the active medicinal
principles found in the Gods liver en-
tirely from the fat. For tftS' reason
| you have no injurious parts to over
come. You do have the medicine that
you desire to do good. What is more
you have succeeded, by putting this
| medicine in delicious, mild wine, n
giving to the public in Vinol something
that is positively enjoyable to take
| The patient, because of it's peculia:
| medicinal properties, finds in Vino
exactly what he needs as a rebuilde1
| and flesh maker, a blood enricher. a

| lator
| "Other chemists to whom | have

talked in regard to Vinol agree with
me fully that it is the most wonderful
discovery of the age. Physicians who
have entered into the subject with me
say that they recognize in Vinol
valuable ally by whose help they hope
to overcome wasting diseases of every
description. Very truly yours. c. X.
Graves"
Mr.. Graves, as You see. gets right
down to the bottom of facts" said Mr..
Webster. He recognizes that Ninol
aecomplishes the good which it does
by acting in Il most beneficial manner
upon the stomach. 1t aids digestion
and does not upset the stomach as cod
| liver oil in any other form is almost
| sure to do.

scrofulous affections or the many other
troubles for which cod liver Oil has al
ways been prescribed needs everything
| made easy for his stomach to get from
| his daily food just the proper nourish-
| ment TO stop the ravages of disease, and
with WHICH to make new flesh, hIoCd,
bone and muscle.
The idea that it is necessary to take
| fat into the stomach to make new fat
| has long since been exploded. People
are learning since Vinol has become so
extensively introduced that it's pleas
ant and beneficial action upon the
| stomach is the cause of healthy tissue
| being made in natural and rational
manner, the elements for this tissue
| being extracted from the food Itself by
this digestive apparatus when it is en-
| abled to work in a normal way. This
is the reason that Mr.. Graves doctor

hesitatingly assert that in Vinol they

THE WONDERFUL CENTURY.
Some Of the Achievements OF the Hundred
Years Now Closing.

Alfred Russell Wallace, author of Oar
winism.' in his latest book, ''rhe Won
derful Century," thus summarizes the
achievements of the nineteenth century
and compares them with what has gone
before: Taking first those inventions and
practical applications of science which
are perfectly new departures, and which
have also 50 rapidly developed as to have
profoundly affected many of our habits.
and even our thoughts and our language.
we find them to be thirteen in number:
/. Railways, which have revolutionized
land travel ana the distribution of COM
moditieS.
g. Steam navigation, which has done
the. same Thing, for ocean travel and has
besides led to the entire reconstruction of
the navies of the world. @t'
3. Electric telegraphs. which have pro-
duced an even greater revolution in the
communication OF thought
4. The telephone, which transmits or
rather reproduces, the voice of the speak
or at a distance.
s. Friction matches, which have revo-
lntionized the modes of obtaining fire
6. Gas lighting, which enormously i'm
proved outdoor and other illumination

new 10" TN 5hreatening TO supersede gas.
~ Photography, an art which is to the
external forms of nature what printing
is to thought.
j.. Ihe phonograph, which preserves
and reproduces sounds as photography
preserves and reproduces forms.
10. The Roentgen rays, which render
many opaque objects transparent and
open up new world to photography
II. Spectrum analysis, which so great
ly extends our knowledge of the universe
tnat by its assistance we are able to as
certain the relative heat and chemical
constitution of the stars, and ascertain
the existence and measure the rate of
motion of stellar bodies which are entire
ly invisible.
L. The use of anaesthetics, rendering
the most severe surgical operations pain
less
13. The use of antiseptics in surgical
operations, which has still further ex-
tended the means of saving life.
Now, if we ask what inventions COM
parable with these We're made during the
previous (eighteenth century; it seems az
first doubtful whether there We're any.
But We may perhaps admit the DEVELOP
ment OF the steam engine from the rude
but still useful machine of Newcomer to
the powerful and economical engines Of
Bouiton and Watt. The principle. how
ever. was known long before, and had
been practically applied in the previous
century by the Marquis of Worcester and
by SaYery:s and the improvements by
Watt. though very important had a very
limited result. The engines made were
