Will Be the Advantage De-
rived From an Old Rem
edy in New Form.
Mr.. w. II. Marshall, Druggist OF
Our City, Interested.
The Public Marvel, and Doc
tors Everywhere
Pleased.

Nowadays it takes considerable to
astonish the world. So many Won
derfal things have been discovered in
the past century that it has seemed
almost impossible that anything more
could be found to add to the comfort
or benefit of man.
Probably no branch of science has
made such wonderful strides as have
been male in the pcactice of medi-
cine. Diseases THAI a number of years
ago were considered fatal, are now
known to be durable. Even consump-
tion is no longer looked npon with
the dread that it formerly inspi ed.
1t is right on this line of wasting
diseases that we now have news of
wonderful discovery one that is
bound to revolutionize the science of
medicine and startle the world. Every
one is familiar with methods that
have been employed by physicians for
years in cases that they were afraid
would develop into a decline. In all
troubles of the throat, lungs, bron-
that were known to end disastrously.
about the first thing the doctor would
do would be to recommend cod liver
oil, for cod liver oil has been recog-
nized for a great many years as pos
sessing peculiar medicinal properties
particularly adapted for the cure of
such troubles.
Every one knows the objection,
however, to the use of this nauseat-
ing remedy. So extremely disagree
able is the taste and smell of cod liver
oil that many people have actually
been unable to take single dose of
| it. Many others have made heroic
efforts to take the medicine, but have
been obliged to abandon it after
struggling with the horrible stuff for
few days.
| The consequence is that thousands
have drifted into incurable diseases
who might have been saved, had it
been possible to administer this po-
tent medicine. Enough people have
been able to assimilate cod liver oil to
prove to the medical profession and
the world at large its intrinsic value.
Such patients as were blessed with
unusually strong stomachs derived
benefit from cod liver oil. Why, then.
could not form of it be devised, to
be administered TO patients whose
digestive organs had been weakened
| by disease.
/ This is exactly what scientists and
chemists have been aiming at for
years, and this is exactly what has
been accomplished by two prominent
French chemists. Their secret has
been brought to America and our own
| w. II. Marshall. proprietor of Harper
house pharmacy, has succeeded in
connecting himself with the promi-
nent firm of Boston chemists who are
placing this new preparation on the
market. The preparation in ques-
ton, now that it has been discovered.
like all other great inventions, is SIM
pie. BY peculiar process the liver
of the live cod is treated in such a
manner that there is obtained an ex-
tract which contains all, and only all,
of the curative properties that have
made cod liver oil famous. The hor-
rible-smelling, nauseating-tlst fat
that has always been part of this
remedy has been left entirely behind.
| This curative extract is the basis of
Vinol which Mr.. Marshall is present
ing to the public 1t is placed in a
delicious table wine, and in itself be-
ing tasteless, the consumer is unable
to distinguish the fact that he is TAX
ing anything more than a pleasant
port wine.
MIR. Marshall has indeed struck it
Just right in making arrangements to
handle this new remedy, which goes
under the name of Vinol, Wine of Cod
Liver Oil. 1t is worth any ones while
To talk to him about it and learn di-
rectly from him the good that is being
done by finding a way TO administer
what has always been horrible and
| much dreaded medicine in a form that
is actually pleasant, to say nothing of
being q hundred times more efficient.
