Mr.. J. G. Dodsor Tells
What He Knows.
A Boston Paper Investigates the
Merits of VinOl.
A Subject That Is Agitating the Whole
Country
lFrom the Boston Herald

There has reached us rumors OF a
new discovery Something that will
revoIulonize the practice of medicine
A remedy that has given sufferers from
wasting diseases hopes of renewed
health and prolonged life.
OF enough Importance have these
stories appeared that special inter
| view with Mr.. Dodson, of Dodson' =
Pharmacv, who is interested himself
IN this new preparation which is called
| Vlnol, was thought advisable,
| Our reporter had no difficulty in
finding Mr.J G Dodson's place of bus
iness. The first man he met said: ooh
| yes, Mr.. j. Ct. Dodsou is the 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 his enter
prisIng and busy establishment. Mr..
j. 6, Dodson is business from the
word go, but rather objected to the
fame of this preparation being spres d
abroad as a discovery,
why" seid Mr.. Dodson, "this is
no more a new discovery than was
the moon when it was first viewed
through a telescope The discovery
existed sImpie IN the fact of finding
out means of getting at the truth we
we're after. Perhaps the method might
be considered discovery, but what we
have found has been known for years,
and it is nothing more nor less than I'll g
valuable medicinal properties that have
always existed in the Gods liver, and
for which cod liver oil has been pre-
scribed by SO many physicians You
see it is just this way. Cod liver oil
| perhaps you have taken it yourselfl is
something that ia very valuable in all
sorts of wasting diseases, and In itself
is extremely dlssgreeable. Why |
! firmly believe that great many cases
of consumption, even, could be cured
if 1t were possible for the patient to
take enough cod liver oil to let Its vir-
tues become manifest For those who
haye a tendency to sore throat, bron-
chitis, coughs, colds, for every one of
an anemic disposition, 1t has always
| been considered as simply invaluable;
and yet 1t has more often been necessa-
ry to abandon its use than it has been
possible to devise way of administer
ing it.
Two eminent French chemists started
| in and got interested in the matter,
and after years of study they have sue
ceeded in extracting from the liver q
the cod Just what is necessary, and
have left behind that obnoxious, greasy
vile-tssting fatty matter, the Thoughts
of which even has turned the stomachs
of thousands That is all over now
We haye just the thing at last, We
found a way of getting the kernal out
of the nut
This Vinol that is 80 much talked
about is just exactly that. tits the con
centrated essence of medicine found il
the Gods liver that does the good. The
grease is like the shell of the nut, alb
soIutely useless, only it is different
from the shell of the nut because be-
sides being useless it is extremely OBJ
noxious and disagreeable to sight.
taste and smell.
We have now taken this extract and
put sufficient quantity of 1t in de-
demonstrating table wine, We have
also added small amount of organic
iron. This heightens the tonic effect
of the wine. The extract of the Gods
liver comes in just the right proper
ton to do the greatest amount OF good
"h ere, drink this" said Mr.. j. q.
Dodson. as he reached for bottle and
poured forth what appeared to be, anC
which smeIled like, delicious, ricf
wine.
The reporter hesitated. The though
of Gods livers, or anything to do Will
hem, brought back memories OF thu
past. when he himself had made heroic
struggles to take that awful medicine
$50 ahead and drink it,, said Mr.
Dodson. The reporter did so am
looked up, Eyes, I know, but that i
all right. I thought you were goine
to give me some of that Vinol you wer
talking about, and did not know tina
it was your custom to treat man inter
viewing you, to q drink like that.
Mr.. Ct Dodson laughed, "Well
that is Vinol that you have taken. Nov
you know that pert of what [ told yol
was true, It did not taste bad, did 1T?
And it surely did not. CHOW" sal
Mr.. Dodson, ''let me tell you some
thing else. You have just taken, con
densed, of the curative principles OF tn
Gods liver what you would find In NIT
per cent. OF it volume of COT
liver oil. You can therefor
imagine that If it IS neces
sary to take this remedy, how mucl
easier it will be to derive benefit iron
it than it used to 0e when cod live
oil was administered, Do you realiz
that formerly You only obtained
small proportion Of these same cura
tive properties in whole pint OF tina
horrible oil? Doesn't that tell tn
story to you?
"You will have to excuse me now
for, as you see, am more than driven
OF course am getting the advantag
of the discovery by being directly
connected with the Boston house"
The reporter thanked MIR. ). q
} Dodson for his kindness, and lief
him, wondering to himself whether at
ter all a man had to be born on pur
pose to be famous, or whether notoriet.
and good fortune did not sometime
come as matter of luck.
