of the roundabout way they were obli-

are done by us every day, almost
without thought. by means of mol

pened to them when they were sicS.
Lucky was the man who was not
bounced upon by a doctor and often
literally bled to death.
That was only a starter of what was
soon to follow Long, deep, draughts
brewed from notwithstanding herbs
were continually administered. Rene
dies without number, each worse than
the other, followed quickly. No wonder

It is in medicine, like everything

The doctor deprive the patient of his
very life's blood right at time when
he needs every particle of strength. No
longer does he compel the poor suf-
ferer to absorb untold amounts of
banks, herbs, and mineral solutions
tight at time when Nature should be
left to herself to straighten out what
might only be slight trouble.
The modern physician knows that ne
can administer the vital principles OF
his remedies in a concentrated form.
You do not find your doctor brewing
tea, or asking you to shew hugs guam
titles of Cinchona Bark where Quin-
rine is necessary No longer does he
administer bolus of Opium to deaden
pain. Not much. hypodermic sy-
rings charged with the active princk-
pies of opium; morphine does the
work better and does not do as mucn
damage for Nature to repair.
Right on this line discovery was
made that proved to be the most val
uable one yet made. 1t was that oil
Vinol, which is nothing more or less
than concentrated extract of the &C
tive medicinal principles found in the
liver of the live cod, combined with
been peptone, iron and manganese pep
tonates and glycerophosphates.
The above explanation is about AL
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, had
it been possible to administer the
obnoxious remedy; but every one does
not know that when they were taxing
cold liver oil in its old form the!
we're absorbing into the system vast
| amount of vile-smelling, obnoxious
tasting grease that was absolutely
| powerless to do them any good, but
we're somply taking it because it was
vehicle that conveyed the peculiar
medicinal principles that it was the
ictantio;, CT the doctor to give to them.
Here is where this new discovery
will benefit the world. These princi-
ples. separated from the fat and all
other unnecessary features, dissoivea
in delicious table wine can now De
administered in Vinol even to the most
delicate patient without its being ap-
parent that cod liver oil or anything
connected with it is being taken. The
greater strength of the new prepara-
ton will also enable the patient TO re-
ceive a greater amount of necessary
medicine than was possible to admin
lister before, The consequence will be
that the good for which the medicine
| ie desired will be accomplished in
much quicker time. The harm that
was formerly caused to stomachs a.
ready weakened by disease will be en-
tirelv averted and the result will be
that Vinol in but few years will en-
tirely supersede. as a medicine, cod
liver oil In any other known form. At
Hooks Pharmacy in this city, they
are always glad to give more informa-
! ton about VinOl. adv
