nODERh PRESCRIBING.
THE PATIENTS LOT ALSO MUCH
IMPROVED.
Large Doses of Nauseating Medicine
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 the many
things that were done by us every day
almost without thought, by means OF
modern inventions. Then think OF
what happened to them when they
were sick. Lucky was the man who
was R5t pounced 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 horrible-tast-
ing herbs were continually admins
tered Remedies without number,
each worse 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 treat
ment is nearly over No longer does
the doctor deprive the patient of his
very life's blood right at a time when
he needs every particle of strength.
No longer does he compel the poor
sufferer to absorb untold amounts of
barks, herbs and mineral solutions
right at a time when nature should
be left to herself to straighten out
what might only be a slight trouble.
The modern physician knows that
he can administer the vital principles
of his remedies in concentrated
form. You do not find your doctor
brewing tea or asking you to chew
huge quantities of Cinchona bark
where quinine is necessary. No longer
does he administer bolus of opium
TO deaden pain. Not much. A hypo-
dermic syringe charged with the ac-
tive principles of opium; morphine
does the work better and does not
do as much damage for nature to re-
pair.
Right on this line comes news of a
recent discovery that will undoubted-
ly prove to be the most valuable one
yet made. 1t is that of Vinol, which
is nothing more or less than concen-
frated extract of the active medicinal
principles found in the liver of the
live cod.
The above explanation is about all
that Is necessary to give one, In order
that he may understand the full
value of this discovery. Every one
knows the uses for which cod liver
oil has been prescribed Every one
knows its Objectionable features.
Every one realizes that there are
many cases of wasting diseases that
could have been cured by the use of
cod liver oil in its old form, they
were absorbing into the system a vast
amount of vile-smeling obnoxious
tasting grease that was absolutely
powerless of doing them any good,
but We're simply taking it because it
was vehicle that conveyed the pc
culiar medicinal principles that it was
the intention of the doctor to give
them
Here is where this new discovery
will benefit the world. These princi-
pies, separated from the fat and all
other unnecessary features, dissolved
in delicious table wine. can now be
administered even to the most deli
cate patient without its being appar-
ent that cod liver oil or anything con-
nected with 1t is being taken. The
greater strength of the new prepara-
tion will also enable the patient to re-
ceive greater amount. of necessary
medicine than was possible to admin
lister before. The consequence will be
that the good for which the medicine
is desired will be accomplished In a
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 hut few years will en-
-tireY supersede, as a medicine, cod
liver oil in any other known rorm.
