AN AGE OF PROGRESS. In Medicine as Well as in Art and
 Science.

This is an age of progress in the world of medicine as well as in arts and science. This is demonstrated bv the remarkable discovery after wears of research by two eminent French chemists of the process by which the curative, medicinal elements of the Gods liver may be separated from the oil, thus getting rid of that nau- seating part of this valuable remedy.
 In Ninol modern science has given to the world d most delicious cod liver pre- paration without oil made by the scientific, attractive and concentrating process from fresh .cods' livers. com bining with peptonate- -of-iron all the medicinal, healing, y-building ele- ments of cod liver oil. but no oil.
 As body builder and strength cre- ator for old people, delicate children. weak, run down persons, after sick ness, and for Chronic Coughs. Colds. Bronchitis. and all throat and lung troubles, Ninol is unexcelled.
 No one wants an old fashioned cod liver oil preparation or emulsion after once tasting delicious vinol.
