LOCAL DRUGGISTS
Tell how to take the Kernel
Out OF the Nut
PROCESS INVENTED BY
TWO FRENCHMEN.

A great deal of interest was aroused
a Few years ago by the announcement
in our columns by the discovery made
by two eminent French chemists of a
method of extracting or separating
from the liver of the cod the curative
tissue building principles of peptones
ana dlscarding the obnoxious, greasy,
Vlle-tasting oil, the thought of which
rs so disaSreeable to SO many thou
sands of people.
In other words they discovered q
method of getting the kernel out of
the nut because it is the concentrated
essence of medicine found in the Gods
liver that does the good. The oil is
like the she'll of the nut, absolutely
useless to a patient, and besides be-
ing useless, 1T is extremely obnoxious
and disagreeable to sight, taste and
smell.
The cod liver peptones combined
with beef peptones, iron, and man
sanese peptonates and glycerophos-
phates in a rich tonic wine, put up
under the name of Vinol, is a great
combination of remedies to strength
en- and revitalize the human body and
assist nature to eXpel disease.
The Harrisburg druggists, whose
names are appended to this article,
were quick to recognize the value and
secured the agency for Harrisburg.
Leading druggists in over 1000 cities
ana towns In the United States also
secured the agency for this marvellous
strength and body builder, and its
success has been closely watched with
ever increasing interest year after
year.
When our readers are told that
Ninol Is sold on a positive guarantee

the millions of bottles of Vinol sold
since the discovery was made leas
than three-tenths of one per cent
have been returned by dissatisfied
customers, it will give our readers a
very clear idea of the success of this
wonderful discovery.
So to all those people in our midst
who need the strengthening, revital4
izing effect of the medicinal proper-
ties of cod liver oil, we call attention
to this delicious Vinol which contalns
the curative. revitalizing properties of
cod liver oil (but without oiD; this
with the valuable remedial agents
