Probably no branch of science has
made such wonderful strides and
changes during the past century as
have been made in the practice of
medicine. The science of mental heal
ing every year claiming its multitude
of new converts; the proverbial ounce
of prevention is practiced in every
branch of medicine and healing art;
laws have been enacted to prohibit the
sale of habit-forming drugs; nation
wide health insurance" is considered
and less medicines are used in the
cure of disease than at any time in
our history. But such an old and
standard remedial agent as cod liver
oil still finds its place in the practice
of modern medicine.
Every one knows the objection,
however to the use of this nauseat-
ing remedy. So extremely disagree
able is the taste and smell of cod liver
oil that many people have actually
been unable to take a single dose of
it. Many others have made heroic
efforts to take the medicine, but have
been obliged to abandon 1t after
struggling with the horrible stuff for a
few days.
The consequence is that thousands
have drifted into incurable diseases
who might have been saved, had it
been possible to administer this potent
medicine. Enough people have been
able to assimilate cod liver oil to prove
to the medical profession and the
world at large, its intrinsic value.
Such patients as were blessed with
unusually strong stomachs derived
benefit from cod liver oil. Why. then,
could not form of 1t be devised to
be administered to patients whose di-
gestive organs had been weakened by
disease?
This is exactly what scientists and
chemists have been aiming at for
years. and this is exactly what was
accomplished by two prominent
French chemists. Some years ago their
secret was brought to America, and
our local druggists, whose names are
appended to this article, succeeded in
connecting them selves with the prom
inent firm of Boston chemists who
placed this new preparation on the
market.
BY peculiar process the liver of the
cod is treated in such manner that
there is obtained an extract or cod
liver peptonate which contains all the
curative properties that have made
cod liver oil famous. The horrible
smelling, nauseating oil that has al
ways been a part of this remedy is
left entirely behind.
These cod liver peptones are given
In Vinol to which is added the blood
making, strengthening qualities OF
tonic iron, manganese peptones and
glycero- phosphates, which makes Vi
mol supreme in it's field to build up
strength for all rundown conditions
after sickness, for feeble old people
delicate children, and which also
makes it such grand constitutional
remedy for chronic cough, colds and
bronchitis.
They viii be glad to tell any OF
their customers the good that is be-
Ing done by finding a pleasant way to
administer what has always been con.
Bidered valuable but much dreaded
medicine,-to say nothing of it's hav.
ing been made more efficient
