IOtl the bOSlOIl f1eIdiu.
There has reached us rumors OF a
new discovery. Something that will
revolutionize 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 sto-
ries appeared that a special interview
with Mr.. Knight of knights Pharm-
acy Company, who is interested him.
self in this new preparation, which is
called Vinol, was thought advisable.
Our reporter had no difficulty in find
ing Mr.. Knights place of business. The
first man he met said: "Oh, yes, Mr..
Knight is the man who has the Won
derful new remedy that will cure ev-
erything that people always thought
cod liver oil would help" and he was
speedily directed to his enterprising
and busy establishment. Mr.. Knight
is business from the word go, but
rather objected to the fame of this
preparation being spread abroad as a
discovery
why" said Mr.. Knight, ''this is no
more a new discovery than was the
moon when it was first viewed through
telescope. The discovery existed sim
ply in the fact of finding out a means
of getting at the truth we were after.
cred discovery, but what we have
found has been known for years, and 1t
is nothing more nor less than the val
liable 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 1T is just this way. Cod liver oil
(perhaps you have taken it yourself)
IS something that is very valuable in
all sorts of wasting diseases, and in it
self is extremely disagreeable. Why I

of consumption, even, could be cured

take enough cod liver oil to let its vir-
tues become manifest. For those who
nave tendency to sore throat, bron-
chitis, coughs, colds, for every one of
an anemic disposition, il has always
been considered as simply invaluable;
and yet it has more often been neces-
sary to abandon it's use than 1t has
been possible to devise a way of ad-
ministering it.
Two eminent French chemists start
ed in and got interested in the matter,
and after years of study they have
succeeded 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 at
last. We have found way of getting
the kernel out of the nut.
This Vinol that is so much talked
about is just exactly that. 1t is the
concentrated essence of medicine found
in the Gods liver that does the good.
The grease is like the shell of the nut,
absolutely 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 a sufficient quantity of it in a de-
demonstrating table wine. We have
also added a small amount of organic
iron. This hightens the tonic effect Of
the wine. The extract of the Gods
liver comes in just the right proportion
to do the greatest amount of good
Here, drink this said Mr.. Knight
as he reached for a bottle and poured
forth what appeared to be, and which
smelled like, delicious, rich wine.
The reporter hesitated. The thought
of Gods livers, or anything to do with
them, brought back memories OF the
past, when he himself had made heroic
struggles to take that awful medicine

ed up. Yes, l know, but that is all
right. / thought you were going to
give me some of that Vinol you were
talking about, and did not know that
1t was your custom to treat a man in

Mr.. Knight laughed. well, that /.
Vinol that you have taken. Now you
know that part of what have told yol
is true. 1t did not taste bad, did il p
And 1t surely did not. Now" said
Mr.. Knight, "let me tell you something
else. You have just taken, condensed.

liver what you would find in so per

is necessary to take this remedy, how
much easier it will be to derive bene-

cod liver oil was administered. Do
you realize that formerly you only OBJ

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.
OF course, am getting the advantage
of the discovery by being directly con-
nected with the Boston house."
The reporter thanked Mr.. knight for
his Kindness, and left him, wondering
to himself whether after all a man
had to be born on purpose to be fam
Gus, or whether notoriety and good for
tune did not sometimes come as a
matter Of luck.
