Probably no branch Of science has
made such wonderful strides and
changes during the past century as
have been made in the practise of med
icine. The science of mental healing
every year claiming it's multitude OF
new converts; the proverbia1 ounce OF
prevention is practised in every
branch of medicine and heSling art;
laws have been enacted to prohibit
the sale of habit-forming durgs; ra-
ton wide health insurance" is con-
sidered and less medicines are used in
the cure of disease than at any time in
aur history. But such an old and STAN
aard remedial agent as cod liver Oil
finds it's place in the practise of mod
ern medicine
Every one knows the objection, how
ever. to the use of this nauseating
remedy. So extremely disagreeable is
the taste and smell of cod liver oil that
many people have actually been unable
10 take a single dose of it. Many
others have made heroic efforts to
take the medicine, but have been
obliged to abandon it after struggling
with the horrible stuff for few days.
The consequence is that thousands
have drifted into incurable diseases
who might have been saved, had it
medicine. Enough people have been
been possible to administer this potent
able to assimilate cod liver oil to prove
to the medical profession and the world
at large, its intrinsic value. Such pa
fients as were blessed with unusually
strong stomachs derived benefit from
cod liver oil. Why, then, could not
form of it be devised, to be administ-
cred to patients whose digestive org
ans 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
Fheir secret was brought to America,
and our local druggists, Hooks Phar-
macy, succeeded in connecting them
selves with the prominent firm of Bos-
ton Chemists who placed this new
preparation on the market.
By a peculiar process the liver OF
the cod is treated in such manner
that there is obtained an extract OF
cod liver peptonate which contains all
the curative properties that have made
cod liver oil famous. The horrible
gnslling, nauseating oil that has al
ways been a part of this remedy is
left entirely behind.
These cod liver peptones are given
in Yinol, which Hooks Pharmacy are
Offering to their customers. To this
Is added the blood making, strength
ening qualities of tonic iron, manga

which makes Vinol supreme in its
field to build up strength for all run
down conditions, after sickness, for
feeble old people, delicate children
and which also makes it such grand
constitutional remedy for chronic
soughs. colds and bronchitis.
Hooks Pharmacy will be glad to tell
ouv of their customers the good that Is

considered valuable but much dread
