Enterprise Is one of the virtues of
Druggist II. J. Matthews, of tho well
known firm of Matthews Bros. Often has
he demonstrated his ability to not only
keep pace with, but to keep ahead of the
times. Many times have tho people of
our city had occasion to be proud of the
way this prominent druggist has shown
himself to be among the foremost In the
country In adopting the latest scientific
and chemical discoveries.
liven In this ago of progress, the ad
vance In pharmaceutical development
bus been at times almost of a sensational
nature. The druggist or chemist who
has not had push and enterprise has soon
become a back number, nnd can bo found
today running a small store, the appear
ance of which, devoid of any signs of
modernism, Is familiar to all.
It has always been Mr. Matthews' am.
bltlon to connect himself with some dis
covery that would not iiniv lie a source
of profit to himself, but the mean of ac
complishing good to others. With this
end iu view It Is not strange that Mr.
Matthews, In his profession, should hnvn
been led to think seriously concerning the
use of cod liver oil. He, like hundreds of
other druggists, has sold vast quantities
of this valuable, but nauseating remedy.
Intohisenrhas been poured many a talo
of woe. by sufferers who would bog lum
to advise some way they might take the
medicine prescribed for them, and many
attempts has he made In the past to on
able n patient to tnke this remedy, know
ing well that could they succeed lit doing
so. he would be Instrumental in restoring
health and in many cases even In saving
life.
He was obliged to give up attaining the
desired end. of disguising the taste of
this obnoxious, greasy medicine, as many
others have hud to before 1dm. lie found
it was not a very ditllcult matter to fool
the palate, but he could not fool the pa
tient's stomach. Even when the oil had
been made tasteless by being admlnls
tored In capsules or other forms, tho
stomach would rebel and promptly reject
It.
Hlght nt tills stago ot the gamo Mr.
Matthews learned of an Important dis
covery made by two eminent. French
chemists, whose secret has been bought
by a large Huston house. With charac
teristic enterprise Mr. Matthews connect
ed himself with them, and succeeded hi
making arrangements with them to di
rectly handle this new discovery.
Thank goodness, wo now hnvn at last,
right here In town, u preparation that
contains all the curative principles which
huvo given the cod's liver Its great repu
tation as u remedy for wasting diseases.
Now these sought-for principles aro In a.
concentrated form, free from the nau
seating, greasy matter that characterizes
cod liver oil as we have known It This)
extract Is put up In a most palatable and
delicious form, so that It can be taken by
any one with the most delicate and sen
sitive stomach. It Is positively free from
any objectionable odor, tnste, or any ot
tb other disagreeable features that have
always attended cod liver oil.
Mr. Matthews will gladly tell any onft
