A LETTER OF EXPLANATION.

~ EE J Gu VI In LINN iUNs
No doubt many are reading from day
10 day the articles I am publishing IN
this paper for YISOL, and no doubt
many wonder Why am 70 Jealous in its
behalf, and 50 seemingly extrayagant in
my expressions Of praise Of YtSOL; in
fact know you wonder, for many have
spoken to me about it.
This il quite natural, as heretofore [
have not taken the same active and pro-
minent part in the sale Of any particular
medicinal preparation in my store.
In explanation beg to ray that some
time ago there came to me a gentleman
from Boston who explained that his firm
had at last been able to produce pre-.
paration containing all the curative. ele-
ments of E cd Liver Oil, emitting entire
ly the oil and grease. He expl aimed
that the process employed was the
French process which the two famous
French professors, Gautier and Morgues,
worked out after, twenty years study.
Now | know that that French process
of separating the well known curative
elements Of Cod Liver Oil from the use
less 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 pass
ed after the two French professors had
perfected their work before any manu-
facturer was able To put up prepare
ton of Cod Liver Oil By their process
which would render the discovery of any
practical use to the general public.
The gentleman from Boston, above
referred, was successful in assuring me
beyond doubt that his firm had succeed
ed in producing the desired result, and
had come to Skowhegan TO ask me to
take an interest in the enterprise.
l recognized the fact that YJNOL was
really a preparation of cd Liver Oil,
based on the principle indicated. with
the oil or grease entirely eliminated, re-
tanning only the active, curative ele-
ments, making the finest tonic recon-
struetor and body builder that medicinal
science could produce, as for hundreds
of years cod liver oil has been recogDiz-
ed as one of the greatest rebuilders of
the human system; its great curative
value has never been disputed. AS
formerly prepared, its nauseatiDg taste
and disagreeable effect upon weakened
stomachs rendered it absolutely value
less in millions of cases where it might
have performed the most wonderful ,
cures. | accepted his proposition and
have used my every effort to bring it to
the attention of the people of this city.
You know, of course, that YINOL is
not patent medicine; all its ingredients
being mentioned on the bottle)
Now, that is how l became interested
in VINOL, and l assure you l have
never regretted my connection with it.
Its actual results right here where I
could see for myself have amply justified
all the claims put forth by the gentle
man from Boston, and have strengthen
ed my faith in the great curative value of
VINOL to such an extent that ! am in
duced 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.
believe in YINOL thoroughly, and 1

its mark on the history of this century.
But because l think so much of it l do
not want any one to be led by my enthu-
siasm TO invest in it and afterwards re.
greet that he did SO.
For this reason | guarantee all sales,
and you would be astonished if you
knew how few people have asked to
have their money refunded. That in it
self is one of the strongest evidences
( that YINOL is almost always successful.
For have always told people if it did
not help them to come and get their
money back, and not two per cent, have
taken advantage of the offer.
1t is evident, therefore, that VINOL
succeeds ninety-eight times out of
hundred. and that is a wonderful result.
1 You will pardon me for making such
long story of this subject. l really
thought some word of explanation Of
our YINOL enthusiasm WAS due the
people Of this city, and with you per-
mission will keep You posted on It's
future good work here.
Yours very truly,
FRANK w HICKMAN.
