A LETTER OF EXPLANATION.

No doubt many are reading nom day
to dsy>ths articles we are publishing in
this paper for VINOL, and no doubt
many wonder why we are SO jealous in
its hehalr, and so seemingly extravagant
In our expressions OF praise of NINOLi
in fact, we know you wonder, for many
have spoken to us about 1t.
This is quite natural, as heretofore we
have not taken the same active and prom
inent part in the rails OF any particular
med dioinal preparation In our store.
In explanation we beg to say that some
time ago there came to us a gentleman
from Boston who explained that his firm
had at last been abls to produce q prepa-
ration containing all the curative els-
ments OF Cod Liver OIL. omitting entirely
the oil and grease. he explained that
the process employed was the French
procsss which ths two famous French
professors. Gautier and Morgues, worked
out after twenty years study.
Now, we knew that that French proc
ess OF separating the well known cura-
tive elements Of Cod Liver Oil from the
useless and exceedingly disagreeable oil
or grease was Of great Importance to the
science OF medicine. The great trouble
was to make the preparation By this
French process so that It would be In
marketable shape, and some years passed
after the two French professors had psr'
fected their work before any manufactur-
or was able TO put up a preparation OF
Cod Liver OIL by their process which
would render the discovery of any practi-
cal use to the general punlia.
The gentleman from Boston, above re-
ferred to, was successful In assuring as
beyond doubt that his firm had sucoesd-
ed in producing the desired result. and
had come to Portland TO ask US to take
an interest In the enterprise.
We recognized the fact that VINOL
was really a preparation OF Cod Liver
on, based on the principle Indicated,
with the oif-or grease entirely eliminated,
retaining only the active. curative ele-
ments, making the finest tonic recon-
structor and body builder that medicinal
science could produce, as for hundreds
OF years cod liver oil has been recognized
as one of the greatest and grandest re-
builders Of the human system; Its great
curative value has never been dispu ted.
AS formerly prepared, Its nauseating
taste and disagreeabls effect upon
weakened stomaohs rendered it absolute
ly vaIueless In millions OF cases where it
might havs performed the most wonder
full cures. We accepted his proposition
and have used our every effort TO bring
1t TO the attention of the people Of this
city. (You know, of COURSE, that VINOL
is not a patent medicine; all its ingredi-
ents being mentioned on the nottle.)
Now, that is how we became Interested
In VINOL, and we assure you we have
never regretted cur connection with iS.
Its actual results right here where we
could see for ourselves have amply justi-
tied all the claims put forth BY the gen
tleman from Boston. and have strength
ensd our faith in the great curative value
of VINOL to such an extent that we are
induced to make the statements in its
favor In this paper from day to day, at
some of which you have expressed won
der and surprise.

we believe it Is q preparation that win
leave its mark on the history of this GEN.
tury. hut because we think so much
OF 1t we do not want any one to be led by
our enthusiasm to invest in It and after
wards regret that he did 30.
For this reason we guarantee all sales.
and you would be Astonished II you knew
how few peopls have asked 60 have their
money refunded. Thak In itself is one OF
the strongest evidences that VINoL is
almost always successful. For we have
always told people II it did not help them
to come ana get their money back, ana
not two per cent. have taken advantage
Of the offer.
1t is evident, therefore, that VINOL
suooeeds ninety.eight times out Of hun
ored, and that IL a wonderful result.
You will pardon us for making such a
long story OF this subject. We really
thought soms words of explanation of
our VINOL enthusiasm was due the peo-
pie Of this city, and with your permission
we will keep you posted on Its future
good work here.
Yours very truly
