THEIR VIEWS ON VINOL
WORTH LEARNING
This Is the Preparation That Is Being
Much Talked About

A reporter asked in talking with the
druggists whose names are appended
to this article the same question that
hundreds have asked the last few
years, Just tell me precisely, please,
why Vinol is better than cod liver
oil?"
One of the druggists mentioned be-
low voiced the sentiment of all when
he replied in his genial way, You
have given me a rather difficult task.
/ can explain to you in a few minutes
the advantages of Vinol, but to do it in
half dozen words would hardly be
possible. Perhaps | can illustrate it's
value, however, in brief manner. Sup
pose you had never seen a hens egg.
A man who knew of them should tell
you to eat three every day. l do
not say that you would, mind you, but
l am inclined to believe at the start
you would make an heroic effort to
get away with the whole thing, shell
and all. The meat of the egg would
be what you needed, the shell rather
supertluous. In fact, as matter of
nourishment not quite the thing for
your stomach.
There you are with cod liver oil. In
it you have medicine, or rather in
thu liver of a live cod there is q med
icine known to be valuable for certain
forms of disease, a great strength cre-
have administered it for years. They
were like the man who had never seen
an egg before. They gave it to their
patients, just as they found it, shell
and all. Yes, that is exactly it. The
grease was useless and as bad for the
stomach, almost as would have been
the shell of the egg The kernel, or
the meat of the remedy, the vital prin-
Giples that they were after, were con-
tanned in it. Science has stepped in
and done exactly what the man with
the egg might have done--found a
way to separate the healthful interior
from the worthless husk.
Nov we have the active medical
principles of the Gods liver. We have
thrown away the useless encumbrances
that formerly encloaked it, namely
the Objectionable fat We have taken
this extract, placed 1t in a delicious
table wine added beef peptone iron
and manganese peptonates and
glycerophosphateS az mere YOU are
Patients who have needed cod liver oil
and could not take it, have no trouble
in taking Vinol. Why, you would en-
joy drinking 1t yourself, so pleasant is
it, If / did not tell you 1t was any
thing but a mild table wine. If you
needed it, however, for a medicine, you
would soon find it to be something diff.
ferent The medicinal properties of
the Gods liver together with the other
ingredients above named, create
strength and revitalize weak, rur
down, debilitated, feeble old people
delicate children and as a constitu.
tional remedy for chronic coughs
colds and bronchitis there is nothinf
like it, and the same principles give
strength to the weakened digestion
and enable the poor sufferers worr
out stomach to digest and obtain nu
triment from everyday food.
Yes, / am glad to have you come
any time that you care to learn any
thing more about Vinol 1t has al
ready proved itself to be a winner
