Poison Squad of University of Mich
igan Experiments with Ginseng,
Powerful Drug.

Ann Arbor, Acknowledgment drug
provers, the "Poison-Drinking society,""
are engaged in the most fascinating and
greatest drug-proving experiment ever
attempted in this country.
They are eating ginseng, the Chinese
superstition plant, and already the
medical world is assured that gingseng.
Instead of being merely 3,000-year-old
superstition, is one Of the most powerful
drugs in existence.
Chinese stories of gingsengs potency
are many, but already, with Michigan's
experiment only half finished, one Of
the most improbable of these has been
practically verified. 1t is said that in
China man of over 60 who appears to
be sinking into his second childhood,
IL given large dose of gingseng. Hs
ds said to break out in boils for time,
showing that the stuff heats up his
blood. For period of time, averag-
Ing about two years, his second child
hood is STAYED off, while he feels al
most as If again in his prime.
None of the Michigan provers has
sAshSA s0uAlSicut S1AseHS W IGu6W HIS
youth, but already the 20 boys in the
experiment here say that they have
felt, in mild degree, all the symp-
toms which the Mongolians claim for
the drug.
The ginseng plant, from which this
drug comes, used to be very common
in this part of the country But the
sums paid for it by the Chinese, be-
cause of the fact that in China ginseng
taising is a government monopoly, has
made ginseng the rarest and richest
OF American crops. 1t is now cultivated
only in private gardens, and thi!
tall there are only about SO acres %
ginseng in the United States. TIL,
dried roots to-day market for $12 ,
pound. The seeds bring close to $10l
q pound. and since they are yer!
heavy, one bushel of ginseng seeds II
worth about $4,000.

THE STORY OF ViNOL.
BY l.. 3. Coon, Druggist.

Our experiences with medicines ex-
tends over many years. We've had
ample opportunity to watch thousands
ot them and their results We've
never seen any medicine sell itself as
does Vinol. Customer after customer
comes for Vinol again and again.
That's the best kind of testimonial
They wouldn't want second bottle if
the first gave no help or relief.
We wanr everybody in Pine Bluff to
know the value of Einol and how we
stand behind it.
Vinol is popular and it takes because
il possesses merit. Ninol contains all
the curative, strengt th-creating ele-
mcnts of cod liver oil, without the
pauseatine, disa9reeable taste and
smell of the oil. Any one can take it
W thout making a face. Old and young
can digest it. There are many imita-
tions of Vino made from drugs AID
chemicals which are said 10 have the
.ame effect as Vinol, but please re-
member the makers of Vinol are the
onlv ones in the world who know the'
secret of separating the curative ele-
meuts of the Gods livers from the oil
and grease, and who can make for yoa
a preparation containing all OF the real
slkaloids or medicinal principles OF
cod liver oil and not fool YOU with
chemicals said to resemble the cod
liver oil alkaloids. Therefore, there
can be nothing else Just as good.
, Vinol gives you hearty appetite.
K does more II tones up the stomach,
it builds up the system in many ways
It's a tonic--a blood maker, flesh
creator and tissue builder. It's one ct
fhe best things known to medicine for
weak lungs. wasting diseases or gen
trail debility.
! We've sold hundreds of bottles OF
Vinol and guaranteed them. Hardly
Cne in a hundred comes back to us. II
YOU have not vet used Vinol we a.ron9-
lv commend i. 70 you. Your money
refunded if it does not benefit. l.. 3
