neVed in the southern states, but ex-
lensive areas in that section are still
much in need of rain. especially the
northern portions, extending from Okla

The corn crop has made splendid prog

resulted from floods on the river bottoms
of the southern and eastern portions of
that state and in northern Illinois. High

A USE FOR EVERYTHING
Nothing Yet Ever Created
Without Purpose.
A Theory Difficult tn Be Believed ia
Some Instances.
Many Think Nature Might Have Been I'm
proved Upon in Many Ways

We all wonder why certain things were
ever made, why certain animals or in
sects were allowed to live And yet
there is no doubt that everything was
intedded for some purpose, and as civili-
cation advances, such purposes are dis
covered
Cod liver oil is something that every
body knows TO have been wise provision
Of Providence, to be used as a medicine
in all wasting diseases. Why Nature
should have appended to this valuable
remedy its horrible odor and most terri
BILE taste is also something that many
have wondered at. But that was Natures
way. She gave to man the crude ma
terial, and has left it to his intelligence
TO overcome many of it's Objectionable
fea lures.
This is exactlyy what has happened in
regard to cod liver oil. Everybody knows
its value. Everybody knows how neces-
sary it is for physicians to prescribe it
in many instances. Everybody also knows
that it is one of the most terrible medi-
cines to take that can be imagined.
There is no longer need of taking it,
that is, in the form in which We have
been accustomed to know it.
| L. L.
Drug Co., of this city, has associated
himself with a Boston house which is
producing a preparation known as Vinol
Wine of Cod Liver OIL This is not
patent medicine. Any one may see, on
the label of each bottle, or Mr.. King will
tell any, one who calls on him, exactly
what Vinol contains. AS he explained
! yesterday: Eve have simply found out
how to extract the active medicinal prin-
ciples from the Gods liver that has made
cod liver oil valuable. This we may OBJ
tain in the form of a concentrated ex-
tract. The grease with all it's vile odor,
is left behind. That, too has it's pur-
poses. 1t is valuable for dressing leath-
er, but as for its being in any way good
! for man as a medicine, it is absolutely
worthless
Nov We take the medicine that we
have obtained, or the concentrated me-
dicinal properties of the Gods liver and
place just the right quantity of this ex-
tract in a delicious, mild table wine,
and there you have the whole story.
Anybody can learn in a minute that Vinol
is tasteless. Any one who is compelled
to take cod liver oil can find out in a
few days how much more benefit can be
derived from Vinol than could ever have
been obtained from cod liver oil in its
crude FORM
Mr.. Kings enthusiasm in regard to
Vinol is indeed well founded. The prep
aration which he is handling will be in
a short time one of the best known in
the world.
