THE MERITS OF VINoL.
A subject That is Agitating the Whole
Country.
(From the Boston Herald.)

(FrOm the Boston Herald.)
There has reached us rumors of a
new discovery. Something that will |
revolutionize the practice of medi- |
cine. A remedy that has given suf-
ferers from wasting diseases hopes of
renewed health and prolonged life.
OF enough Importance have these
stories appeared that a special inter-
view with the Brock & McComas.
Co. of Pendleton, who interested
themselves in this new preparation
which is called Vinol, was thought
advisable.
our reporter had no difficulty in
finding the Brock G. McComas Co.'s
place of business, The first man he
met said: "Oh, yes, the Brock & Nc
Comas Co. is the firm who have the
wonderful new remedy that will cure
everything that people always
thought cod liver oil would help"
and ne was speedily directed to the
Brock & McComas Co.'S establish
ment. The Brock & McComas Co.

why" said the Brock & McCom-
as Co., this is no more new discov-
cry than was the moon when 1t was
first viewed through 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 1t is moth
ing more nor less than the valuable
medicinal properties that have al
ways existed in the Gods liver, and
for which cod liver oil has been pre-
scribed by so many physicians You
see. II is just this way. Cod liver oil
(perhaps you have taken II yourself)
is something that is very valuable In
all sorts of wasting diseases, and in
itself is extremely disagreeable. Why
l firmly believe that a great many
cases of consumption. even, could be
cured if it were possible for the pa
tient to take enough cod liver oil tc
