LOCAL DRUGGISTS
Tell how to take the Kernel
Out of the Rut
PROCESS INVENTED BY
TWO FRENCHMEN.
A exeat deal of interest was aroused!
a few years ago by the announcement i
in our columns by the discovery made j
by two eminent French chemists of a |
method of extracting or separating !
irom the liver of the cod the curative
tissue-building principles of peptones!
nnd discarding the obnoxious, greasy, |
vile-tasting oil, the thought of which |
;s so disagreeable to so many thou-!
lands of people.
In other words they discovered a
method of getting the kernel out of'
the nut because it is the concentrated 1
essence of medicine found in the cod's I
liver that does the good. The oil is
like the shell of the nut, absolutely
useless to a patient, and besides be
ing useless, it is extremely obnoxious
and disagreeable to sight, taste and
smell.
The cod liver peptones combined
with beef peptones, iron, and man-
Haiiesa 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, *hosei
names are appended to this article,;
were quick to recognize the value and i
secured the agency for Harrisburg. j
Leading druggists in over 7.000 cities'
and towns in the United States also
secured the agency for this marvelous
strength and body builder, and its
success has been closely watched with
ever increasing interest year after
year.
When our readers are told that
v inol is sold on a positive guarantee
by them and all these other druggists
to create strength for the run-down,
over-worked and debilitated, for
feeble old people, delicate, puny chil
dren, and after sickness. and as a
constitutional treatment for chronic
coughs, colds and bronchitis, or their
purchase money returned, and out of
% 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, revital
izing effect of the medicinal proper
ties of cod liver oil, we call attention
to this delicious Vinol which contains
the curative, revitalizing properties of
cod liver oil (but without oil); this
with the valuable remedial agents
above noted have made Vinol such a
wonderful success.
They will bo glad to tell any of
their customers who are interested of
the wonderful success they have had
with Vinol.

Dr. CaldwelVs Syrup Pepsin

Long Standing
After a long period of suffering with
liver and bowel trouble that brought
on piles, during which she had tried
many remedies without obtaining re
lief, Mrs. Mary J. Jewell of Berrien

inexpensive laxative compound
brought almost immediate relief and
Mrs. Jewell wrote to Dr. Caldwell
about her case.
In her letter Mrs. Jewell says, "I
had tried so many things for the piles,
without being helped at all, I had
about given up hope of ever being
any better. I knew It was the condi
tion of my bowels that caused them,
and after I had taken a, bottle of your
Syrup Pepsin I knew it was just the
medicine I needed. lam very grate
ful to you for sending me the little
book—the advice and Instructions it
gives would teach anyone how to get
well and how to keep well."
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
combination of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin, free from opiate or nar
cotic drugs, and is mild and gentle in
its action, bringing relief in an easy,
natural way, without griping, or other
pain or discomfort.
