OREGON CITY COURIER,.. THURSDAY APRIL 2, 1914.
BREAK UP MEDICAL TRUST
Dr. Turner Shows Readers Some
thing of the Power of Octopus
By Dr. W. A. Turner, Naturopath.
Dr. Haggerty of St. Louis reports
in the Journal of the A. M. A. that
he knows of seven deaths from "60G
in that city.
L. A. Merriam, M. D., of Omaha,
recently read a paper before a medi
cal society in which he stated that
80 per cent of operations were un
necessary. His paper was not pub
lished. Eastern papers Rtate that Dr. Carl
Van Ruck of Asheville, N. C, recent
ly "borrowed" nearly 300 children
from a Baptist orphanage "by cour
teousy" of the house physician, who
were experimented on with various
disease-breeding serums, then re
turned. This must be a fine "Chris
tian" outfit.
Bills have been introduced in the
New York legislature forbidding viv
isection of animals except in pres
ence of a state representative. 80
children were recently taken off the
streets of New York, taken to hospi
tals, inoculated with disease serums
and then turned loose on the streets.
A legislative commission is now in
vestigating. Verily, the medical frat
ernity are a fine bunch to have the
charge of human lives.
Stomach, Liver and Bowel Troubles
Constipation and indigestion are
common troubles and people have
been taught to believe that a dose of
salts or pills or some other cathartic
will cure them. These drugs simply
outrage nature and do no good. They
make you worse and leave the cause
of the trouble untouched. The food
goes through four processes of diges
tion. It first receives saliva in the
mouth, which is alkaline, thin gastric
juices of the stomach, which are acid,
then alkalines in the duodenum and
acids in the intestines.Then with the
pancreatic fluid it goes to the colon
and the waste is expelled and the
balance makes blood, bone and flesh.
The liver selects bile from the blood
and stores it in the gall bladder,
which discharges into the duodenum,
where fats and starches are digest
ed. Thus you see the necessity of eat
ing proper food to make good blood
and keep it properly circulated. Im
proper food causes congestions,
which in women are always followed
by female troubles. A rational diet of
fruits, vegetables and little meat
will keep one ordinarily in good
health. Indiscriminate stuffing be
tween meals is the cause of much
stomach and bowel disease. parHcu
larly with women and children, the
latter developing catarrh, sore ton
sils and adenoids. Eat properly ot
regular hours, sleep in fresh nir, and
exercise moderatelv and drink noth
ing with meals. This will keef) you
in good shape. If something goes
wrong consult a drugless doctor and
cut out pills, serums and operations.
One thing is certain a drneiesa
doctor cannot hurt you or damage
your svstem with poisons.
Political Work Ahead for Us
The Health Defense League, a
powerful organization, the Oregon
branch of the National League for
Medical Freedom and the various as
sociations of drugless healers, and
tens of thousands of Christian Scien
tists, together with the great multi
tude of people who believe in drug
less methods of healing, are opposed
to the present illegal system of al
lopathic medicine fastened on the
state by the medical politicians, arc
going to investigate every candidate,
for office.
Dr. Chas. J. Smith, West's legatee
and friend of the political doctors',
Dr. Withycombe and Dr. Eric Berg
, lund will doubtless be carefully look
ed after. The practice of the A. M.
A. in running medical doctors for
office in order to further their de
signs on the liberties of the people,
will receive a jolt in Oregon that
may discourage them in the future.
The political doctors are scared now,
and are on the run and when you
consider that we comprise half the
population of the state, we are a
power to be reckoned with. We in
tend, if possible, to rid this state of
the gang of medical highbinders who
now feast at the taxpayers' expense
and all anti-medical candidates will
receive our support. The people now
have the chance to rise and wipe this
condition off the map.
Medical Rascality and Ignorance In
sured The "Medical Protection Company"
of Fort Wayne, Indiana, for the sum
of $15 a year agrees to stand be
tween the doctor and a big bill for
damages resulting from medical mal
practice, or the penitentiary as the
result of criminal practice. If you
are the victim of an unnecessary op
eration, which cripples you for lif:
ana leeling aggrieved, hrin.r suit ft
damages, the M. P. A. is right there
to prove, and all the doctois will help
prove, that the operation was prop
erly and scientifically performed and
that your condition is the result of
your own carelessness. It agrees
to lurnisn counsel free and to indent
nify the policy ho'der jcainst n.:
judgement up to $1(5,000. It agrees
to defend the doctor throisrh to the
last court of resort or until illegal
remedies are exhausted or will fi-i.l
judgement is given in favor of tlv
lolicy holder. The protection is
complete and renders a poor person
absolutely helpless in cases of mal
practice and his chances of recover
ing damages are nil.
It makes easy sailing for the med
ical carvers for no matter what hai
pens, his case will be fouirht to a fin
ish for him, hence he can afford to
bo careless and take big chances. 75
per cent of the medical fraternity
take advantage of this "protection'
and it is supposed to be a part of the
medical trust. These are the gentle
men who fastened on the backs of
Oregon taxpayers to the tune of
more than $100,000 a year out of thj
public crib.
Big Business and Big Newspapers
III this wonderful "free" country
of ours the big city newspapers are
with few exceptions the tools and
slaves of big business particularly
of the big department stores, whore
large advertising is of vital impor
tance. These stores in many instan
ces advertise the most outrageous
lies in supposed bargain values, but
never a word ot protest from the
paper accepting it. We have a strict
Jaw in Oregon covering fraudulent
advertising and an "Ad" Club in
Portland which occasionally picks
up a small Hebrew trader, but you
never hear of them molesting big
business, neither do you hear of the
"Oregonian" or the "Journal" refus
ing such advertisements. They dare
not. ....
The medical trust, which is a part
of big business, has a grip on the
city press so strong ;that nearly
every metropolitan daily has at least
one medical doctor on its staff to lie
to and .mislead, the people about med-1
cal practice. The Oregnian has two,
one a space writer and the other
well, it is hard to find words to ex
actly express my views, but he thinkb
he writes "editorials" which fortu
nately few people read. He is so
completely fossilized and out of date
that his "editorials" are a joke. But,
that is to be expected in a reaction
ary, behind the times, narrow sheet
like the "Oregonian." It is practically
impossible to publish anything anti
medical in this sheet for love or
money. Perhaps some day there will
be a real morning newspaper in Port
land. More Political Doctors
One of the set rules of the medi
cal trust is to- run its incompetent
medical politicians for office, for it
is very necessary to have them in
Congress, state legislatures, city
councils, school boards and as gov
ernors if possible, in order to do the
dirty work of the American Medical
Association in passing our fasten
ing illegal and drastic medical laws
upon the people to control and mon
opolize the healing business.
We have Dr. Chas. J. Smith, Dem
ocrat; Dr. James Withycombe, for
ccvernor, Republican; Dr. Elef
Burghard, Republican, for Congress,
and Dr. Cora C. Talbot, Democrat, a
lady M. D. out for the legislature.
Swat each one of these candidates at
the polls and keep them at home.
They have no good reason for want
ing office. Work against them and
tell your friends to do likewise. Back
to pills and serums for them.
(Questions relating to health mat
ters will be answered if directed to
mo, care of Hotel Edwards, Portland,
Oregon.)
AUTHORITIES ARE MISQUOTED
Rev. Milliken Says Mr. Mieklejohn's
Passages have Something Writ
ten In
Editor Courier:
Last week Mr. Meiklejohn's letter
covered two points. 1 That there
are two laws, a "Moral" and a "Cer
emonial." 2 That the "Moral" law
is eternal.
His proof is as follows;
1. "Sin is transgression of the
law." 1 John 3:4.
2. "Where there is no law there
is no transgression." Rom. 9:15.
3. But Adam transgressed.
4. Therefore the moral law was
before Adam.
Now Mr. Meiklejohn's first prem
ise is faulty, for it only describes one
of many kinds of sin. For instance
"To him that knoweth to do good and
doeth it not, to him it is sin." Jas.
4:17.- . .
"All unrighteousness is sin,' I
John 5:17. . .
Whatsoever is not of faith is sin."
Rom. 14:23. . rl
The Greek word for sin is "Ham
artia," "Missing the mark." What
ever does not come up to the mark of
Christ's perfection is sin. Adam's
sin may have been any of these.
Mr. Meiklejohn's second premise
is likewise faulty as a proof of his
argument. "Where there is no law
there is no transgression;" yet the
same writer shows that he does not
mean moral law alone, because he
says in the same book that those who
do not have the law (moral law if
vou like), are a law unto themselves
having the law of conscience, by
which thev are judged. Rom. 2:1?
10. This law of conscience was all
the law the Gentiles had, or that the
Hebrews had up to Moses.
Adam sinned through unbelief,
and eating what he was bidden to
Ipave alone. See Genesis. 3. No ref
Ri"nce to "Moral" law.
Mr. Meiklejohn's proof proves
nothini', simply because he tries to
rend his theory into Scripture, in
stead of finding what scripture ac
tually teaches. This he does not do
intentionally, but he does it never
theless. Mr. Meiklejohn's other proof pass
ages fail for the same reason. Gal,
8 is not speaking about ceremonials
but about law that leads to trans
gression, Gal. 3: 21-22. which law
was only to last till Christ, Gal. 8:19.
Rom. 7:7 shows that Paul is speak
ing of the moral side of the law, and
n the first six verses of the chapter
he shows that if we are alive . to
Christ we are dead to it. 2 Cor. 3:7
1 1 says it has "passed away." Mr.
Meiklejohn unconsciously does not
try to find what these passages actu
ally do mean, but reads into them his
own interpretation.
Mr. Meiklejohn's second point is
that the "Moral" law is ternal.
Morals are eternal, but laws are
not. We have already shown that
his first premise that the "Moral"
luw existed before Moses is unprov
on. In Matt. 5 there are 5 references
to the law, verses 21, 27, 33, 38, 43, to
all of which Christ refers in the
same way, "It hath been said," show
ing ins reunion to tnem. Mr. Meikle
john tries to prove from one of them
that it is not true that "When that
which is perfect is come then that
which is in part is done away " (1
Cor. 13:10.) But note, he selects but
ono of the five references to the
law, and leaves alone the other four
in verses 27, 33, 38, and 43, which
refer to the same law, the law as a
whole, moral and all. Should a
seeker for truth select iust such por
tions of truth as suit his argument,
leaving out all of the same address
that would show his position to be
wrong?
Ho reads, unconsciously, into 2
John, 9, what is not there. This
passage says "Whatsoever goeth on
ward and abideth not in the teach
ing of the Christ, hath not God." No
reference to Law. Christ's com
mands are to love God, our neighbor,
our enemy, one another, to be bom
again, to go and evangelize the word,
etc. They are all in his published
sayings, and are distince from the
Old Testament law.
If Isn. n(i:G-7 and Isa. 66:20-24
prove that the Gentiles were to keep
the Sabbath they also prove that the
burnt offerings and sacrifices (Isn.
!i:7) and the Levitical priesthood
and ceremonies (66:20-21) were to be
eternal, so we should not only keop
the Sabbath but observe all the mer
emonials of the old law as well.
Again Mr. Meiklejohn wrests the
Scripture from its context to prove
his point.
Ho quotes Hob. 4:9-11 as meaning
the Jewish Sabbath. Read the en
tire chapter and you will 6ee that the
heavenly rest of God's people and not
an earthly Sabbath is meant. Here
again, he wrests a passage from its
context.
Practically every passage quoted J
as proot hy Mr. Meiklejohn has some
thing rend into it that is not there, or
is wrested from its context Mr.
Meiklejohn does not do this intent
ionally. I know him to be a very
estimable young man, and very hon
est. It is merely the result of an
incorrect method of Biblical interpre
tation which strives to prove a pre
conceived opinion from isolated
Scriptural passages instead of tak
ing every Scripture in its . context,
and endeavoring to find out what the
writer actually meant.
New Testament doctrine cannot be
proven from Old Testament proof
texts. From the Old Testament you
can prove circumcision to be an "Ev
erlasting covenant" Gen. 17:13; that
burnt offerings, sacrifices and a Lev
itical priesthood are to exist forever,
Isa. 56: 6-7; 66: 20-23 (Mr. Meikle
john's own proof texts for the con
tinuance of the Sabbath), etc. But
inasmuch as the revelation of God
was a slow, unfolding through many
centuries, and in the Old Testament
it was but partial and the truth was
but dimly seen, no interpreter today
uses Old Testament proof texts to
prove New Ttestament doctrines.
They show what men saw in the
twilight of a revelation only partly
unfoIdl, not what was seen when
the Christ brought in the light of the
Gospel day. Hence to prove that
there were two distinct laws, "Mor
al" and "Ceremonial," in New Testa
ment times Mr. Meiklejohn must
show in the New Ttestament where
that Sabbath is commanded to the
Gentiles. Of course it NEVER WAS
CHANGED, FOR YOU CAN'T
CHANGE WHAT YOU NEVER
HAVE HAD, and the Gentiles never
had the Jewish Sabbath without be
coming proselytes thus Jews.
The Jewish Sabbath was given to
Israel, brought out of Egypt (Exod.
20:2), to be a National sign that they
Ti,an Vlct phnspn nennle. Exod. 31:
12-17, which they are no longer until
the "Times of "the Gentiles" be ful
filled (Rom. 9-11). It was to be a
weekly memorial of their deliverance
from Egypt (Deut. 5;15)v which was
to pass away, Hos. 2:11. There is no
place in the New Testament where it
is commanded to the Gentile.
The church of Rome claims to
have changed the Sabbath, because
Peter was the first Pope, and it was
Jn nn Vila authority. Grant the
first part of their claim and you
must grant tne last, ior n is uhhcu
noon it. Schaff, Neander. Mosheim,
Fisher, Newman, in fact all reputable
historians who have had access to
the recently discovered wealth of
early manuscripts, affirm that no
Gentile church has ever kept the He
brew Sabbath from the days of the
anostles, except a few little heretic
al bodies who strove to keep the Jew
ish law.
Mr. Meiklejohn tries to make it
appear that Hiscox favored the Jew
ish Sabbath by taking a statement
out of its connection, just as he did
with Scripture. Hiscox believes just
as I do, that we are not under the
Jewish Sabbath, but under a differ
ent thing; the Lord's Day, the day of
the Resurrection. "We believe that
the Scripture teaches that the First
day of the week is the Lords Day,
and is to be kept sacred to religious
purposes." Manual, page 71.
(Spurgeon again and again shows
that the law slays, and that Christ
makes alive from the law. See
sermon on '!A Change of Masters.'
One of his favourite hymns was
"Free from the law, O happy con
dition." His body would nearly turn
over in the grave could he know that
one of his statements was so twisted
to mean what he did not believe.
Clarke's comment on 2 Cor. 3:11
reads: "THAT WHICH IS DONE
AWAY the 'Ministration of Deatn,
the ten commandments written on
stones a part of the Mosaic lnsti
. .. . i la onnlW sfvikmr? dlt-
ference between the law and the
Gospel. The former is termeu i
katagoumenon,' that which is counter-worked
and abolished: the latter
is "To MENON,' that which contin
ues, which is not for a particular
time, place, or people, as the law
was" Again Mr. Meikleiohn tries to
make Clark teach what he does not.
Barnes was not a Baptist but a
Presbyterian who belonged to the
i nf lust, century, and was
suspended for heresy. His works are
found in scarcely any inuuu ..
and are not considered authorative.
All Mr. Meiklejohn's authorities are
either misquoted, or are long since
discarded by the Christian world as
ii Tin nnnnrentlv knOWS
inauuiuiunvi;. Kr-.
nothing of the standard Interpreters
or Historians.
I believe in freedom of conscience.
This discussion has not been mine
but' Mr. Meiklejohn's. I have no de
sire to make Mr. Meiklejohn keep
the Lord's Day unless he can see as
think the Lord wor
ries much about so small a matter
anyway, provided a man Knows
Christ, and is led by His Spirit. I
i ,.moV. oVinw flint, the trreat
merely wion
Christian world, which keeps the
Lord's Day is not so nopeiessiy in me
wrong as Mr. Meiklejohn' would have
us believe. If he wants to think that
only 144,000 Seventh-Day Adventists
will see the Lord's salvation at His
coming, ho is welcome. I prefer to
believe that my Christian Brethren;
Methodist, Congregational,; Tit'sby
terian, Lutheran. Adventist, yes, and
even Roman Catholic, or not of any
creed; who have met the Christ and
have surrendered to him that all
these will hear the King's plaudit
uknn TIo nnnipa. It. is not the rhurch
you belong to, but your relation to
our blessed l.oru and master tnai
will count. If Mr. Meiklejohn desir
es to believe that man dies like the
beast until the resurrection, that is
his privilege. I prefer to believe
Christ when he says: "He that be
lieveth on me HATH everlasting
life." I accept no proofs of New Tes
tament meanings from writers who
wrote centuries before under a par
tial revelation. Thus, for my part,
I close this controversy, glad that
the life of God and not the law of
Moses, is the actuating; principle of
the Christian.

EARLY HISTORY REVIEWED
Death of Mrs. Ellen Hackett the
Early Days of Pioneer Hardships
Mrs. Ellen E. Hackett, one of the
early pioneers of Oregon, died sud
denly at the home of her son, E. C.
Hackett, of Eighteenth and Wash
ington Street at an early hour on
Friday of last week, March 20. Al
though Mrs. Hackett had been ' ill
for the past year, she was able to be
about her home the day previous to
her d'.ath, and upon retiring had not
complained of illness. Making no
response when called by her son the
following morning, investigation was
made and it was found that she had
passed peacefully away at an early
hour.
Mrs. Hackett, who was well and
favorably known throughout Clacka
mas County, and especially in this
city, was born near Newcastle, In
diana, September 7, 1830, her maid
en name being Ellen E. Johnson. She
was the daughter of Rev. and Mrs.
William Johnson, the former being
an Universalist minister.
In March, 1846, Mrs. Hackett left
the state of Indiana for the West,
accompanying her parents and reach
ing Whitman Station in the fall of
the same year. Remaining at that
place until Spring a company was
organized, when a Mr. Smith was
appointed captain. At that time the
Indians were causing much disturb
ance among the whites while cross
ing the" plains, but only one of the
party was killed, he being a Mr.
Trimble, in 1847. The party arrived
safely in Clackamas County, coming
by way of the. Barlow Toll Gate near
Mt. Hood, this road being familiar
to all early pioneers of Oregon, who
made the long and tedious trip across
the plains Westward. Mrs. Hackett
walked, almost the entire distance
across the plains, although only 16
years of age.
Making her home with her parents
in this city for about a year, Mrs.
Hackett moved north of Mt. Scott,
where the fanf ly settled, .residing
near Johnson's Creek, the stream be
ing named after Rev. Johnson.
In the spring of 1848 Rev. John
son and his brother, Jacob Johnson,
joined the Indian War Veterans to
avenge the murder of Marcus Whit
man, the pioneer missionary, who
was killed by the Indians and later
Rev. Johnson was one of the men,
who assisted in the execution of the
five Indians guilty of the murder of
the missionary, the execution taking
place in Oregon City.
In 1850 Mrs. Hackett was united
in marriage to John C. Hackett, at
Parkplace. Residing at that place
for several years, and where their
son, E. C. Hackett, of this city, was
born, the family moved to a farm in
Clackamas county on what was
known as the Hackett Donation Land
Claim, located about six miles from
this city. .
Mr. Hackett died in 1845, and Mrs.
Hackett remained at the old home
until about seven years ago, when
she came to- this city, making her
home with her son, E. C. Hackett,
until her death. ,
Mrs. Hackett was the first girl to
be immersed in this city to become a
member of the Baptist church, and
remained with that faith until her
death. She has always lived a good,
Christian life, and had a host of
friends in Clackamas County.
The deceased is survived by the
following children: E. C. Hackett, a
member of the city council, Oregon
City; Colonel A. J. Hackett, Red Bay,
Alabama; Miss Mary.E. Knotts, Bend
Oregon; Mrs. Thomas Haley, Ellens
burg, Washington; Mrs. Stewart
Hackett. PamDa. Washington; Mrs.
Florence Wolfe, of Portland, Oregon.
She is also survived by seven grand
children, one of whom is E. A. Hack
ett of this city; also one sister, mrs.
Miriam Ritchey, of Washington, and
one brother, Jasper jonnson, or ueu
vor ("Vilnrado.
The funeral services, which were
largely attended, were conducted on
Sunday afternoon at 1 o'clock at the
undertaking parlors of the Holman
Undertaking Company, on Fifth and
Main Street. Kev. rJ. A. smun oi-
ficiated, and the interment was in
the family lot in Mountain View cem
etery. The floral tributes were beau
tiful. The pallbearers were: G. C
Bnheock. C. E. Burns. J. A. Tufts, H
W. Cooke, F. C. Burke and Thomas
Myers.

THE COUNTY NEEDS
States What he will Work for if
Nominated for Judge
If I am nominated and elected I
will administer the affairs of the of
fice with the highest efficiency and
honesty and at the least possible
cost to the taxpayers. I brieve that
a public officer is a public servant
whose duty at all times is to conduct
his office with as high standard oi
honesty, morality and integrity as a
man would his private business.
In auditing claims against the
County none of the loose unbusiness
like methods heretofore used will be
permitted by me. I will carefully
scrutinize each and every bill pres
ented and will allow none unless the
same is verified and itemized. I will
always exercise the greatest care
in the expenditure ot tne taxpayers
money and will oppose any unwar
ranted expense.
When good gravel or macadam
roads are built I will insist that the
same be kept in good repair by a
road patrol, l lie road patrol i a reg
ular employee in the road organiza
tion in the European countries and
in .a gerat many states in the Uni
ted States, but no attempt has ever
been made in Clackamas County to
keep in repair the roads which have
been built. s
I will favor a less number of road
districts for the County, since some
of the districts formed have only
$432.00, $423.00, $419.00 and one has
only $L'li).88 without the Special tax
which amount will do very little good
to any district; I believe the best in
terests of Clackamas County would
be served by the consolidation of dis
tricts. We now have 59, the Supervi
sors of which are appointed by the
County Court, who can if they so de
sire, build up a formidable political
machine. The practice of putting pet
ty politicians in control or a vital
nublic utility, like a county road for
the purpose of paying a political
debt, must be stopped. A public road
is a puonc utility wnicn is a neces
sity to all of the people who have oc
casion to use it; it,is a liability upon
all of the people who have to pay
taxes upon it; the building of it re
quires work, money and knowledge,
and wherever for political considera
tion any of these features are ignor
ed or modified by the County Court,
the public must Buffer. I maintain
that the road system of this County
must be treated as a great business
enterprise and conducted honestly,
wisely and with reasonable balance
between benefits and burdens.

because I know I can render the
County a service which means econ
omy, a thing which you will agree
with me is badly needed. I am well
aware of the importance of this of
fice and am thoroughly familiar with
its duties, having worked in conjunc
tion with the County Court for the
past four years.
I am against a County Court play
ing politics in any manner whatever,
and am not and will not be, if elected
County Judge, the candidate of any
political ring, clique or set of men. I
come straight to the people for this
office on my merits, and ask that you
investigate my record my character
and my ability. I have passed the bar
examination of this state and have
been admitted to practice law; I am
thirty-four years of age, the age
when the mind and character of man
have fully matured, when he is en
tering upon the period of his great
est efficiency and usefulness and be
fore inactivity and mental decay ren
der him unfit for active public ser
vice. If you are satisfied that 1 am the
right man for this place I will ap
preciate having your support and
vote on May lotn.

Ever try Doan's Kidney Pills for
it?
Know they are for kidney back
ache and for other kidney ills?
If you don't some Oregon City
people do.
Read a case of it:
Joseph McDermott, Washington
St., Oregon City, Oregon, says: "I
was almost flat on my back with
kidney and bladder trouble. I was
so lame and stiff that I could hardly
hobble" around and it was all I could
do to get up in the morning.' My
kidneys were irregular in action and
the secretions were scanty. I used
several boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills
and I soon got well. 1 think even
more highly of Doan's Kidney Pills
now than I did when I publicly rec
ommended them a few years ago
They have certainly done me a lot of
eood.
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy

INDIGESTION OVERCOME
Overcome by Simple Remedy,
Hurried and careless habits of eat
ing, Irregular meals and foods that
do not harmonize, tend to weaken
the dlgestlTO organs and result In
different forms of stomach trouble.
If you are one of the unfortunates
Vho have drifted Into this condition,
eat simple foods only, slowly, regu
larly and take Vlnol, our delicious
cod liver and Iron tonic.
Mrs. H. J. Smith, Thomasvffle, Ga.,
says: "I suffered from a stomach
trouble, was tired, worn out and ner
tous. A friend advised me to take
Vinol. My stomach trouble soon dis
appeared and now I eat heartily and
hare a perfect digestion and I wish
every tired, weak woman could hare
Vinol, for I never spent any money
In my life that did me so much good."
The recovery of Mrs. Smith was
due to the combined .action of the
medicinal elements of the cods' livers
aided by the blood making and
strength creating properties of tonic
iron, which are contained In Vlnol.
We will return the purchase money "
every time Vlnol fall to benefit
