reporter asked Mr.. Tragic the same
question that hundreds have asked him
IN the last few days:!"Just tell me pre-
ciscly, please, why yinol is better than
cod liver oily
Mr. Tragic replied in his genial way.
You have given me rather difficult
task. can explain to you in a few min
utes the advantages Of Finol but to do
1t in half dozen words would be i'm
1t IN a half dozen words would hardly be
possible. Perhaps ] can illustrate its
value, however, in a brief manner. Sup
pose you had never seen hens egg.
a man who knew of them should tell you
TO eat three of them every day. I do not
say that YOU would, mind. you,- but l am
inclined to believe at the start you would
make heroic effert to get away with
the whole thing. shell and all. The meat
OF the egg would be what you needed,
the shell rather superf1ous. In fact. 9
a matter of nourishment not quite the
thing for your stomach
There you are with cod liver oil. III it
you have a medicine, or rather in the
liver Of a live cod there is a medicine
known to be valuable for certain forms
OF wasting disease, a great reconstruction.
Doctors have administered it for years.
They were like the man who had never
seen an egg before. They gave it to their
patients just as they found it, shell and
all. Yes. that is exactly it. The grease
was useless, and as bad for the stomach
almost as would have been the shell Of
the egg. The kernel, or the meat Of the
remedy. the vital principles that they
were after, We're contained in it. Science
has stepped in and done exactly what the
man with the egg might have done-found
d way to separate the healthfui interior
from the worthless husk.
Now we have the active medical prin-
ciples Of the Gods liver. We have thrown
away unless the incum brances that for
merly encloaked it. namely. the objection
able fat. We nave taken this extract,
placed in 4 delicious table wine, and there
you are. Patients who have needed cod
liver oil and could not take it have no
trouble in taking Vinol. Why, you would
enjoy drinking it yourself, SO pleasant
it is. If I did not tell you it was anything
but a mild table wine. If you needed it,
however for a medicine, you would soon
find it to be something different. The me-
dicinal properties OF the Gods liver heal
damage done by diseases that are of a
wasting nature, and the same principle
gives strength to the weakened digestion
and enable the poor sufferers WORKOUT
stomach to digest and obtain nutrment
from everyday food. These same prin-
ciplcs are also active disease germ ami
hilators
Yes, am glad to nave you come any
time that you care to learn anything
more about Vinol. It has already proved
Itself to be q winner"
