(From the Boston Herald.)
There has reached us rumors of new
discovery. something that will revolu-
TOME the practice of medicine. A rem
edy' that has given sufferers from wasting
diseases hopes of renewed health and pro-
longed life.
Of enough importance have these stories
appeared that special interview with
Mr. King, of Raleigh, who is interested
himself in this new preparation which is
called Vinol, was thought advisable.
Our reporter had no difficulty in finding
Mr. Kings place of business. The first
man he met said: 'Oh yes. Mr.. King
is tire man who has the wonderful new
remedy that will cure everything that
people always thought cod liver oil would
help and he was speedily directed to
this enterprising and busy establishment.
Mr. King is business from the word 60
but rather objected to the fame of this
preparation being spread abroad as a
discovery.
Why" said Mr.. King this is no
mere new discovery than was the moon
when IL was first viewed through tele-
scope. The discovery existed simply in
the fact of finding out means of getting
at the truth we were after. Perhaps the
method might be considered a discovery,
but what we have found has been known
for years, and it is nothing more nor
less than the valuable medicinal proper
ties that have always existed in the Gods
liver, and for which cod liver oil has
been prescribed by so many physicians.
You see it is just this way. Cod liver
oil (perhaps you have taken it yourselD
is something that is very valuable in all
sorts OF wasting diseases, and in itself
is extremely disagreeafJie. Why l firmly
believe that a great many cases of con-
sumption even, could be cured if it were
possible for the patient to take enough
cod liver oil to let it's virtues become
manifest. For those who have a ten
dency to sore throat. bronchitis coughs,
colds, for every one of an anemic dispo-
sition, It has always been considered
as simply Invaluable and yet it has more
often been necessary to abandon its use
than it has been possible to devise way
of administering it.
Two eminent French chemists started
ir and got interested in the matter, and
after years of study they have sue
ceeded in extracting from the liver of the
cod just what is necessary, and have
left behind that obnoxious, greasy, vile
tasting fatty matter, the thought of
which even has turned the stomachs of
Thousands. That is all over now. We
have just the thing sat last. We have
found a way of getting the kernel out OF
the nut
This Vinol that is so much talked abou,
is just exactly that. 1t is the concentra-
ted essence of medicine found in the
Gods liver that does the good The
grease is like the shell of the nut. abso-
lutely useless, only it is different from
the shell of the nut because besides be-
ing useless it is extremely obnoxious
and disagreeable to sight, taste and smell.
We have now taken this extract and
put a sufficient quantity of it in a delic-
us-tasting table wine. We have also
added small amount of organic iron.
This height 9ns the tonic effect of the
wine. The extract of the Gods liver
Genes in just the right proportion to do
the greatest amount of good. Here, drink
this said Mr.. King. as he reached for a
bottle and poured forth what appeared
TO be, and which smelled like, delicious
rich wine
of Gods livers. or anything to do with
them, brought back memories of the past
when he himself had made heroic strug-
giles to take that awful medicine. go
ahead and drink it," said Mr.. King The
reporter did so, and looked up Yes, !
know. but that is all right. 1 thought
you were going to give me some of that
Vinol you were talking about, and did
not know that it was your custom to treat
a man interviewing you, 20 Il drink like
that"
Mr.. King laughed well, that is
Vinol that you have taken. Now you
know that part of what 1 have told you is
true. 1t did not taste bad, did it," And
ii surely did not Now" said Mr. King
"let me tell you something else. You
have just taken, condensed. Of the cura
tive principles of the Gods liver what you
would find in fifty per cent of it's volume
Of cod liver oil. You can therefore
imagine that if it is necessary to take
this remedy, how much easier it will be
to derive benefit from it than it used to
be when cod liver oil was administered
Do you realize that formerly you only
obtained small proportion of these same
curative properties in a whole pint of that
horrible oil? Doesn't that tell the story
to you?
You will have to excuse me now, for
as you see, | am more than driven. Oh
course l am getting the advantage of the
discovery by being directly connected with
the Boston house."
The reporter thanked Mr.. King for his
Kindness and left him, wondering to him
