Any Excuse Does For
Those Who Want Liquor
London, April 4.—Statements made I
in London police courts reveal that j
the war has added greatly to the old ]
reliable stock of excuses for drunken
ness. Yet some of the reasons vouch
safed by prisoners have a familiar
ring to them and might have been ad
vanced in almost any American po
lice court.
Among the explanations for drunk
enness given at ' the Metropolitan
court in Londan recently were:
Seeing friends off on a journey.
Taking "just a wee drop" for a cold.
Four bottles of stout for neuralgia. |
A drink of whisky to forget domes
tic troubles, other drinks following to j
add to the forgetfulness.
A sad letter from a sailor son.
Worry over a dog.
Excitement over husband's depart
ure for the French front.
Bad news from relatives in the
army.

togive that child the verythingitneeds

For over forty yea rs the concentrated

been changing thinness to plumpness !
—changing poor blood to rich blood. 1
There is nothing better for growing
children—whether they are weak or
well—than Scott's "Emulsion, but see
that you get the genuine Scott's.

MODERN PRESCRIBING
Doctors Methods Better Than!
They Were Years Ago
The Patient's Lot Also Much
Improved
Large Doses of Nauseating Medi
cine No Longer Necessary
Our forefathers did not have such a \
delightful time, alter all. Just think of ,
the roundabout way they were obliged j
to accomplish the many things that
are done by us every day, almost with
out thought, by means of modern in
vention. Then think of what hap
pened to them when they were sick.
Lucky was the man who was not
pounced upon by a doctor and often
literally bled to death.
That was only a starter of what was
soon to follow. Long, deep draughts
brewed from horrible-tasting herbs
were continually administered. Reme
dies without number each worse than
the other, followed quickly. No won
der so many of our ancestors died
young. No wonder life insurance sta
tistics show that we come from a
short-lived race.
It is in medicine like everything
else. The day of barbarism in treat
ment is nearly over. No longer does
the doctor deprive the patient of his
very life's blood right at a time when
he needs every particle of strength.
No longer does he compel the poor
sufferer to absorb untold amounts of
barks, herbs and mineral solutions
right at a time when Nature'should
be left to herself to straighten out
what might only be a slight trouble.
The modern physician knows that
he can administer the vital principles
of his remedies in a concentrated
form. You do not find your doctor
brewing a tea or asking you to chew
huge quantities of Cinchona Bark
where Quinine is necessary. No long
er does he administer a bolus of Op
ium to deaden pain. Not much. A
hypodermic syringe charged with the !
active principles of opium; morphine
does the work better and does not do
as much damage for Nature to re
pair.
Right on this line a discovery was
made that proved to be the most valu
able one yet made. It was that of Vi- j
nol, which is nothing more or less 1
than a concentrated extract of the
active medicinal principles found in
the liver of the live cod combined with
beef peptone, iron and manganese
peptonates and glycerophosphates.
The above explanation is about all
that is necessary to give one, in order
that he may understand the full value
of this discovery. Every one knows
the uses for which cod liver oil has
been prescribed. Every one knows
its objectionable features. Every one
realizes that there are many cases of
wasting diseases that could have been
cured by the use of cod liver oil, had
it been possible to administer the ob
noxious remedy; but every one does
not know that when they were taking
cod liver oil in its old form they were
absorbing into the system a vast
amount of vile-smelling, obnoxious
tasting grease that was absolutely
powerless of doing them any good,
but were simply taking it because it
was a vehicle that conveyed the pecu
liar medicinal principles that it was
the intention of the doctor to give to
them.
Here is where this new discovery
will benefit the world. These princi
ples, separated from the fat and all
other unnecessary features, dissolved
in a delicious table wine Can now be
administered in Vinol even to the most
delicate patient without its being ap
parent that cod liver oil or anything
connected with it is being taken. The
greater strength of the new prepara
tion will also enable the patient to
receive a greater amount of necessary
medicine than was possible to admin
ister before. The consequence will be
that the good for which the medicine
is desired will be accomplished in a
much quicker time. The harm that
was formerly caused to stomachs al
ready weakened by disease will be en
tirely averted and the result will be
that Vinol in but a few years will Pn - j
tirely supersede, as a medicine, cod |
liver oif in any other known form. At !
the following drug stores in this city
they are always glad to give more in- j
formation about Vinol: George A

TEUTONS GIVE UP
RUSS OFFENSIVE
Proposed Drive on Petrograd
Believed to Have Been
Abandoned
By Associated Press
Copenhagen, April 4. A "person
age particularly well informed politi
cally and militarily," who is easily
recognizable as Colonel Von Kaeften
of the general staff in charge of the
military department of the foreign
office has informed the Politiken that
there is 110 prospect of a German of
fensive on the Riga front. The colonel
says:
"The spring thaw which is setting in
is enough in itself to deprive an of
fensive of any chance of success. Even
if the Germans succeeded in taking the
Rusisan positions it will be impossible
for them to move artillery and sup
plies forward for an advance on Petro
grad. They would be hopelessly
bogged.
May Change Plan
"A modern offensive cannot be im
provised. Months are needed for prep
aration so it is extremely probable that
the German leaders will change their
original plan owing to the new politi
cal situation resulting from the Rus
sian revolution.
Colonel Von Ilaefteri also doubts
whether Field Marshal Von Hinden
burg contemplates an offensive on the
Sereth front in Rumania, but thinks
he will adopt a defensive attitude on
the eastern front.
Would Quiet Russians
1 lie paper continues: "The state
ments of the German general staff,
which have certain inherent proba
bilities are another example of the
German determination to quiet Rus
sian apprehension in every possible
way. They are issued, as clearly evi
dent lrom the tone of the various
newspaper comments, with the design
of not interfering by outside pressure
with the growth of the peace senti
ment in.Rusisa and particularly with
the spirit of disorganization."
