CONSULTATION.
CAN IT BE CUREDP
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 guaran- tee that any one medicine will positively cure consumption would be absurd, but we know there Is something about the ef- feet of VinoI when taken by persons who either have, or think they have, con sumption. or serious lung troubles, that Is decidedly beneficial.
 While we do not guarantee that Vlnol will always cure consumpton, We publish herewith extracts from some of the let ters 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 com sumption, and given up to die by our family physician. She was very weak and enaciated, but Vinol restored her to health in a marvellous manner. and she is as well as ever she was. Words cannot express our gratitude for this valuable cod liver oil preparation
 Mrs, N. B. Jenner of Lakewood, N. r., writes. 'T was in consumption, and no one thought I could live. weighed less than 100 pounds, and my normal weight IS lTO pOun08. NlnOl cured HSb anu II 1eStus almost a miracle"
 The Rev. Mir. Crosse of St. Paurs Church, St. Joseph. Mo. writes: "A young man in my congregation had henr orrhages of the lungs which weakened him so that he could not walk block. l recommended Vinol; he has taken four bottles. and feels like a new mana; he eats well. sleeps well, and Is getting strong"
 Joseph Denis of winsow, Me, writes: My son was given up by two doctors to die with consumption He was a human skeleton. and could not raise himself in he'd. Vinol has cured him so that he is healthy, fat and as well as any of his playfellows"
 We have lots of such letters, and they al, contain just such strong. authentic statements and why should they not be trueY If old-fashioned cod liver oil had any ytrtue-and We know it had in the treatment of throat and lung troubles Vinol of course. is of far greater value: for if not only contains all the medicinal curative elements of cod liver oil. but 1t ia entirely free from the oil or grease which invariably dlsagrees with the digestive organs and prevents tine good that might conne from the cod liver oil medicine.
 We can only say that any one who is das,rous of giving Vinol a trial for any LInd of lung troubles may do 60 at our rjsk. we will pay for all the VinoI they taEn which does them no good This shows that we have great faith in what Vinol can accomplish F. C. Fowler, Druggist
