There has reached US rumors Of a
new discovery. Something that will
revolutionize the practice of medicine.
A remedy that has given sufferers from
wasting diseases hopes of renewed
health and prolonged life.
OF enough Importance have these
stories appeared that a special inter
view with Mr.. Knight Of knights
Pharmacy Co. who is interested himr
self in this new preparation, which is
called Ninol, was thought advisable.
Our reporter had no difficulty in find
ing Mr.. knights place of business.
The first man he met said "Oh, yes,
Mr.. knight is the man who has the
wonderful new remedy that will cure
everything that people always thought
cod liver oil would help" and he was
speedily directed to this enterprising
and busy establishment. Mr. knight
is business from the word 60 but rath-
er objected to the fame of this prepa-
ration being spread abb cad as discov-
cry.
why" said Mr. Knight of knights
Pharmacy &C., this is no more a new
discovery than was the moon when it
was first viewed through a telescope.
The discovery existed simply in the
fact of finding out a means of getting
at the truth we were after. Perhaps
the method might be considered a dis
covery. but what we have found has
been known for years, and it is nothing
more nor less than the valuable medi
cinal properties that have always eX-
listed in the Gods liver, and for which
cold liver oil has been prescribed by
so many physicians. You see it is just
this way: Cod liver oil (perhaps you
have taken IL YOURSELF is something
that is very valuable in all sorts Of
wasting diseases, and in itself is eX-
trer1ely disagreeable. Why / firmly
believe that a great many cases of con-
sumption, even, could be cured IL 1t
were possible for the patient to take
enough cod liver oil to let it's virtues
become manifest. For those who have
a tendency to sore throat bronchitis,
coughs, colds, for every one of an
anemic disposition, it has always been
considered as simply invaluable; and
yet il has more often been necessary to
abandon its use than il has been posi-
bic to devise a way of administering it,.
Two eminent French chemists started
in and got interested i'm the matter, and
after years of study they have sue
ceeded in extracting from the liver of
have left behind that obnoxious, greasy,
vile-tasting fatty matter. the thought
of which even has turned the stomachs
of thousands. That is all over now.
We have just the thing at last We
have found a way of getting the kerr
mel out of the nut.
This Vinol that is so much talked
about is just exactly that. 1t is the
concentrated essence of medicine found
in the Gods liver that does the good.
The grease is like the shell of the nut,
absolutely useless. only it is different
from the shell of the nut because be-
sides being useless it is extremely OBJ
noxious and disagreeable to sight,
taste and smell.
we have now taken this extract and
put sufficient quantity of it in deli
clous-tasting table wine. We have also
added small amount of organic iron.
This heightens the tonic effect of the
wine. The extract of the Gods liver
comes in Just the right proportion to
do the greatest amount of good. Here,
drink this" said MIR. Knight as he
reached for a bottle and poured forth
what appeared to be, and which smell
ed like, delicious, rich wine.
The reporter hesitated. The thought
of Gods livers, or anything to do with
them, brought back memories of the
past, when he himself had made heroic
struggles to take that awful medicine.
GO ahead and drink it," said Mr..
Knight of knights Pharmacy Co. The
reporter did so. and looked up. Eyes,
/ know, but that is all right. l thought
you were going to give me some of that
Ninol you were talking about and did
not know that it was your custom to
treat man interviewing you, to a
drink like that"
Mr.. Knight laughed "Well that is
Nlnol that you have taken. Now you
know that part of what | have told
you is true. 1t did not taste bad, did
it?" And it surely did not Now"
SAID Mr.. Knight of Knights Pharmacy
Co, let me tell you something else You
have just taken, condensed, of the
curative principles of the Gods liver
what you would find in so per cent. of
its volume of cod liver oil You can
therefore imagine that if it is neces-
sary to take this remedy, how much
easied it will be to derive benefit from
1t than 1t used 20 be when cod liver
oil was administered. Do you realize
that formerly you only obtained a
small proportion OF these same curative
properties in a whole pint of that hor-
rible oil? Doesn't that tell the story
to you?
you will have to excuse me now, for.
as you see, l am more than driven. OF
course l am getting the advantage of
the discovery by being directly con-
nected with the Boston house"
The reporter thanked Mr.. Knight of
knights Pharmacy Co. for his kind
ness, and left him, wondering to him
self whether after all a man had to be
born on purpose to be famous, or
whether notoriety and good fortune did
not sometimes come as a matter of
luck.
