MODERN PRESCRIBING.
Doctors Methods Better Than
They Were Years Ago.
The Patients Lot Also Much Improv-
ed-Large Doses of Nauseating Med.
icine no Longer Necessary.

Our forefathers did not have such a
delightful time, after all. Just think OF
the roundabout way they were obliged
to accomplish many things that are
done by us every day, almost without
thought, by means of modern inven-
ton. Then think of what happened to
them when they were sick. Lucky was
the man who was not bounced upon by
a doctor and often literally bled to
death.
That was only starter of what was
soon to follow. Long, deep draughts
brewed from Misunderstanding herbs were
continually administered. Remedies
without number, each worae than the
other, followed quickly. No wonder SO
many of our ancestors died young. No
wonder life insurance statistics 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 the time when he needs
every partieal of strength. No longer
does he compel the poor sufferer to alb
serb untold amounts of barks, herbs
and mineral solutions right at time
when nature should be left to herself to
straighten out what might only be q
slight trouble.
The modern physician knows that he
can administer the vital principals of
his remedies in concentrated form.
You do not find your doctor brewing a
tea or asking you to chew huge quanti-
ties of Cinchona Bark where Quinine is
necessary. No longer does he admins
tee bolus OF Opium to deaden pain
Not much. hypedermic 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 re-
cent discovery that will undoubtedly
prove to be the most valuable one vet
made. 1t is that of Vinol. which is
nothing more or less than concentrat-
ed extract of the active medicinal prin-
cipals found in the liver of the live cod.
The above explanation is about all
that is necessary to give anyone, in or
der that be may understand the full
value of this discovery. Everyone
knows the use for which cod liver oil
has been prescribed. Everyone knows
its objectional features. Everyone
realizes that there are many cases of
wasting diseases that could have been
cured by the use of cod liver oil, had it
been possible to administer the obnox-
ious remedy; but everyone does not
know that when they were taking cod
liver oil in its old form, they were alb
sorbing into the system 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 vehicle that.
conveyed the peculiar medicinal prin-
ciples that it was the intention of the
doctor to give to them.
Here is where this new discovery will
benefit the world. These principles,
separated from the fat and all other I'M
necessary features, dissolved in a de-
licious table wine, can now be admins
tered even to the most delicate patient
without its being apparent that cod liver
oil or anything connected with it is be-
ing taken. The greater strength of the
new preparation will also enable the
patient to receive greater amount of
necessary medicine than was possible
to administer before. The consequence
will be that the good for which the med
icine is desired will be accomplished in
much quicker time. The harm that
was formerly caused to stomachs al
ready weakened by disease will be en-
tirely averted and the result will be that
Vinol in but few years will entirely
supersede, as a medicine, cod liver oil
in any other known form. Mr.. w. A.
Ream, our leading druggist, is interest
