handle this new discovery which has
fast taken the place of old-fashioned
cod liver oil and emulsions.
This preparation contains all the
curative principles which have given
the Gods liver it's great reputation, and
the sought-for principles are in con-
centrated form free from the nauseat-
ing, greasy matter that characterizes
cod liver oil as we have known 1t. 1t
is positively free from any objection
able odor, taste, or any OF the other
disagreeable features that have always
attended cod liver oil.
Above all, they wish it to be under
stood that this new preparation is
not a patent medicine. 1t is known
as Vinol, and contains cod liver pep
tonates with all the medicinal valle
attributed to cod liver oil, but the oil,
or useless part, is eliminated.
Therefore, it is the tissue-building.
medicinal and curative elements of
cod liver peptonates, aided by the
od-making. strengthening qualities
of tonic iron, manganese peptones and
glycerophosphates contained in Vinol
that makes it so successful In build

ditions, after sickness, for feeble old
people, delicate children, and which
also makes it such a grand constitu-

colds and bronchitis.
Any one in Harrisburg who is in
need of such a strengthening, revital-
izing tonic should call at one of these
stores and hear what they have to say
on the subject. The information will
cost you nothing. and will prove of
the greatest value to you.

Enterprise is one of the virtues of
our leading druggists, whose names
are appended to this article. Often
they have so demonstrated to the peo-
pie of Harrisburg their ability not
only to keep pace with, but to keep
ahead of the times and the people
OF our city have many times had oc-
casion to be proud of the way our
druggists have shown themselves to be
among the foremost in the country
in adopting for their standard reme-
dies the latest scientific discoveries.
With this end in view it is not
strange that they some years ago
should have been led to think serious
ly concerning the use of cod liver oil.
They, like hundreds of other drug
gists, had sold quantities of this valu-
able, but nauseating remedy, but over
and over again they had to listen to
tales of woe by sufferers who would
beg them to advise some palatable
way they might take the medicine pre-
scribed for them, and many attempts
have been made in the past to enable
patients to take this remedy, knowing
well that could they succeed in doing
so this valuable medicine would be in
strumenta1 in restoring health, and in
many cases even in saving life.
They were obliged, however, to give
up obtaining the desired end of dis
guising the taste of this obnoxious,
greasy medicine, as many others had
to do before them. They found that
while 1t was an easy matter to fool
the palate they could not fool the pa
tents stomach. Even when 1t had
been made tasteless by being admins
tered in capsules or other forms, the
stomach would rebel and promptly
reject 1t.
1t was then that they learned of the
important discovery made by two
French chemists. whose secret had
been bought by large Boston house,
and with characteristic enterprise
