CONSUMPTION,
GAN 1T BE CURED?
Specialists Differ, Some Opinions
from Patients Here Published
Are Interesting. and OF
Value to Others.

Whether real consumption can be
cured, or not, is an open question, or
to guarantee that any one medicine
will positively cure consumption would
be absurd, but we know there is some
thing about the effect of VinOl when
taken by persons who either have, or
think they have consumption, or ser
tOus lung troubles that is decidedly
beneficial.
While we do not guarantee that
Vinol will always cure consumption,
we publish here with extracts from
some of the letters received on
this subject, which prove that while
we may be conservative in our claims,
Vinol has certainly cured these people.
and as the letters are guaranteed to be
genuine and from reliable persons we
must accept the statements as abso-
lutely true;
Mrs. j. G. Brown of Anderson, Ind,
writes: Our daughter Mary was in
consumption. and given up to die by
our family physician. She was very
weak and emaCiated. but Vinol re-
stored her to health In a marvellous
manner, and she Is as we'll as ever she
was. Words cannot express our graf
itude for this valuable cod liver oil
preparation."
Mrs. n. B. Jenner OF Lakewood, n.
Y, writes: II was in consump tion,
and no one thought I could live. I
weighed less than 100 pounds, and my
normal weight is 175 pounds. Vinol
cured me. and it seems almost a mira
cle.''
The Rev. Mr.. Crosses Of st. Paul's
church, ST Joseph, Mo, writes "A
young man in my congregation had
hemorrhages Of the lungs which weak
ened him so that he could not walk a
block. I recommended Who'll he has
taken four bottles, and feels like a
new man: he eats well, sleeps we'll,
and Ia getting strong
Joseph Denis Of Wins1ow, Me,
writes: MY son was given up by two
doctors to die with consumption. He
was human skeleton, and could not
raise himself In bed Vinol has cured
him so that he is healthy, fat, and as
we'll as any Of his playfellows."
We have lots Of such letters, and
they all contain just such strong, au-
thentic statements, and why should
they not be true? If old-fashioned
cod liver oil had any vlrtue--and we
know it had in the treatment of throat
and lung troubles-Vinol, of course, Is
of FAR greater value; for it not only
contains all the medicinal curative ele
ments Of cod liver OIL but 1t is entrel!
free from the oil or grease which in
rariably disagrees with the digestive
organs and prevents the good tina
might come from the cod liver OF

We can only say that any one whC
ia DESTROYS of giving VinOi a trial 70
any kind Of lung troubles may do 81
at our risk: we Will pay for all tn
Vinol they take which does them NJ
good. This shows that We have grea
