MODERN PRESCRIBING.
Doctors Methods Better than
They Were Years Ago.
The Patients Lot Also Much
Improved.
Large Doses of Nauseatine Medicine
No Longer Necessary.

Onr forefltbers did not have such 8
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
p pulc upon by doctor and often
lite lY bled to dea,h.
That was only q starter of what was
soon to follow. Long, deep draughs
brewed rom horrible tasting herbs
were ,ontInuslly administered. Rem
edies without Lumbtr, each wor G
than the other, followed quickly. No
wonder SO many of our ancestors died
young. No wonder life insurance sta
tistics show that we come from short
lived race.
IL is in medicine like everything else.
The day of babarism in treatment Is
nearly over. No longer does the doc
tor deprive the patient of his very life g
blood right at a time when he needs
every particle of strength. No longer
does he compel the poor sufferer to alb
sorb untold amounts of bsrks, herbs
and mineral solutions right at time
when nature should be lett to herself
to straighten out what might only be
slight trouble.
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
tea or asking you to chew huge guam
titles of Chicona bark where quinlne is
necessary No longer does he admin
lister b0lus of opium to deaden pain.
Not much. a hypodermic syringe
charged with the active principles OF
opium; morphine does the work bet.
ter and does not do as much damage
for nature to repair,
Right on this line comes news of a
recent discovery that will undoubtedly
prove to be the most valuable one yet
made. It ia that of Vinol, Wine OF
Cod Liver Oil, which is nothing more
or less than a concentrated extract OF
the active medical principles found in
the liver of the live cod.
The above explanation is about oil
that is necessary to give one in order
that may understand the full value
of this discovery. Every one knows
the uses for which cod liver oil has been
prescribed. Every one knows its OBJ
iectionsl features Every one realizes
that there are may cases of wasting dis
eases that could have been Cueed by
the use Of cod liver oil, had 1t been pos
sible to administer the obnoxious rem
edy; but every one does not know that
when they taking cod liver oil in Its
old form, they were absorbing into the
system q vast amount of vile smelling,
obnoxious tasting grease that was ab
solutely powerless of doing them any
good, bat was simply taking it because
1t waa a vehicle that convened the pecu
liar medicinal principles that 1T was the
intention of the doctor to give to them.
Here is where this new discovery
will benefit the world. These princi
piles. separated from the fat and all
other unnecessary features, dissolved
in a delicious table wine, can now be-
administered even to the most delicat c
patient without its being apparent
that cod liver oil or anything connected
with 1t is being taken. The greater
strength of the new preparation will
also enable the patient to receive a
greater amount of necessary medicine
than was possible to administer before.
The consequence will be that the good
for which the medicine is desired will
be accomplished in a much quicker
time, The harm that was formerly
caused to stomachs already weakened
by disease will be entirely averted and
Che result will be that Vlnol in but a
few years will entirely supersede. as q
medicine, cod liver oil in any: other
known form.
