To the Editor of Tho Courier: "I am a trainod nurse of nine years' experience in hospitals aud private cases, and for the benefit of the people of Oregon City, I wish you would publish my experienoe with the ood livei oil preparation called Vinol. I was completely prostrated from overwork. I had no appetite, could net sleep, my kidneys, liver and bowels became inactive, and as I grew weaker I could not retain either medicine or fo"d on my stomach and rawed blood. The doctors said my oondition was oritical, and would probably die. As I had seen Vinol presoribed for my patient with such remarkable results, I deoided to try it myself. After the first bottle I began to im prove. I continued its use and soon began to sleep and eat well; every organ in my body was strengthened and became normal, until it seemed good to be alive and I was restored to perfect health and strergth. I believe Vinol is the most potent and delicious cod liver oil preparation and tonio rebnilder in the world, and it is such a blessing to be able to takt into the system all the body-building and medicinal elements ot cd liver oil without the nauseating, greasy oil itself. I advise all my patients who need strength for every organ in the body, rich, red blood, and flesh tissue, to I take Vinol, as it is far superior to 'old fashioned cod liver oil, eiuiilsinns or other tonics."
