MODERN PRESCRIBING
Doctors Methods Better Than
They We're Years Ago.
THE PATIENTS LOT ALSO MUCH
IMPROVED.
Large Doses of Nauseating Medicine
No Longer Necessary.

Our forefathers did not have such q
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
pounced upon by by a doctor and lit
orally bled to death.
That was only starter of what was
soon to follow. Long, deep draughts,
brewed from Notwithstanding herbs
were continually administered. Rene
dies without number, each worse than
the other, followed quickly. No Won
der so many of our ancestors died
young. No wonder life insurance sta
tistics show that we come from a
short-lived race.
1t is in medicine like everything else.
The day of barbarism in treatment is
nearly over. No longer does the doctor
deprive the patient of his very life's
blood right at a time when he needs
every particle of strength. No longer
does he compel the poor sufferer to
absorb untold amounts of banks, herbs
and mineral solutions right at a time
when Nature should be left 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 concentrated form. You
do not find your doctor brewing a tea
or asking you to chew huge quantities
of Cinchona Bark where Quinine is
necessary. No longer does he admins

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 a
recent discovery that will undoubtedly
prove to be the most valuable one yet
made. It is that of Vinol, Wine of Cod
Liver Oil, which is nothing more or less
than a concentrated extract of the act
I've 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 its
Objectionable features. Every one re-
allies that there are many cases of
wasting diseases that could have been
cured by the use of cod liver oil. had IL
been possible to administer the obnox-
ious remedy: but every one does not
know that when they were 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
simply taking it because it was a We
hicle that conveyed the peculiar medic
| inal principles that it was the intention
Of the doctor to give to them.
Here is where this new discovery viii

| ministered even to- the most delicate
| patient without il being apparent tha'

will entirely supersede, as a medicine
