delightful time, after, all. Just think
of the roundabout way they were
obliged to accomplish the many things
that are done by us every day, almost
without thought, by means of modern
inventions. Then think of what hap
pened to them when they were sick.
Lucky was the man who was not
bounced upon by doctor and often
literally bled to death.
That was only starter of what was
soon to follow. Long, deep draughts
brewed from horrible tasting herbs
were continually administered, Rene
| dies without number, each worse than
the other followed quickly. No wonder
| SO many of our ancestors died young.
No wonder life insurance statistics
show that we came from a short-lived
race.

blood right at a time when he needs

I does he compel the poor sufferer to alb
sorb untold amounts of banks, herbs
and mineral solutions right at a time
when nature should be left to herself
J to straighten out what might only be a
slight trouble. 5,
The modern physician knows that he
can administer the vital principles of
his remedies in a concentrated form
You do not find your doctor brewing a
tea or asking you to chew huge quaint
I ties of Cinchona Bark where Quinine is
necessary. No longer does he admins
ter a bolus of Opium to deaden pain.
Not much. A hypodermic syringe
charged with the active principles of
opium; morphine does the work better
and does not do as much damage for
Nature to repair.
Right on this line comes news of
recent discovery that will undoubtedly
prove to be the most valuable one yet
made. 1t is that of Vinol, Wine of Cod
Liver Oil,which is nothing more nor less
than a concentrated extract of the ac-
tive medicinal principles found in the
liver of the live cod
The above explanation is about all
that is necessary to give one, in order
that he may understand the full value
of this discovery. Every one knows
the uses, for which cod liver oil has
been prescribed. Every one knows it's
Objectionable features. Every one real
ICES that there are many cases of
wasting diseases that could have been
cured by the use of cod liver oil, had it
been possible to administer the obnoxi-
Gus remedy; but every one does not
know that when they We're taking cod
liver oil in it's old form, they were alb
sorbing into the system a vast amount
of vile smelling, obnoxious tasting
grease that was absolutely powerless
of doing them any good, but were sim
ply taking it because it was vehicle
that conveyed the peculiar medicinal
principles that it was the intention of
the doctor to give to them
Here is where this new discovery will
benefit the world. These principles,
separated from the fat and all unneces-
sary features, dissolved in a delicious
table wine, can now be- administered
even to the most delicate patient with
out its being apparent that cod liver oil
or anything connected with it is being
taken The greater strength of the new
preparation will also enable the patient
to receive greater amount of necessary
medicine than was possible to admins
ter before. The consequence will be
That the good for which the medicine is
desired will be accomplished in much
quicker time. The harm that was form
cry caused to stomachs already weak
ened by disease will be entirely ayerted
ana the result will be that Vinol in but
few yards will entirely supersede, as
medicine, cod liver oil in any other
known form. For sale by w. H. King
