PREPARED for Medicinal Use in the Loffoden Isles, Norway, and put to the Test of Chemical Analysis. Prescribed by eminent Medical Men as the most effectual REMEDY for CONSUMPTION, BRONCHITIS, ASTHMA, GOUT, RHEUMATISM, some DISEASES of the SKIN, RICKETS, IN FANTINE WASTING, GENERAL DEBILITY, and all SCROFULOUS AFFECTION S— effecting a cur or alleviating suffering much mote rapidly than any other kind.e PURE AND UNADULTERATED. The great difficulty of obtaining genuine and good Cod Liver Oil has long prevented a just appreciation of its acknowledged remedial virtues, and precluded many suffering invalids from re- alising the beneficial effects of this truly valuable medicine. Dr. DE JONGH'S Light Brown Cod Liver Oil is of the best kind and finest quality, being extracted from the liver of the Dome — (Indus Callarlas, a species of cod fish caught at the great fishery of the Loffoden Isles—by a process yielding a much larger pro portion of iodine, phosphate of lime, volatile acid, the elements of the bile, and other essential principles, than the Pale Oils manufactured in England and Newfoundland, which, by their mode of preparation, are deprived in a great measure of their active elements. The well-merited celebrity of Dr. DE JONGIeR OIL is attested by its extensive use in France, Germany, Holland, Belgium, and Italy; by numerous spontaneous testimonials from eminent members of the faculty and scientific chemists of European repu tation, and, since its recent introduction into this country, by the marked confidence as well as great success with which it has been prescribed by medical practitioners. In many instances where other kinds of Cod Liver Oil had been taken with little or no benefit, it has produced almost im mediate relief, arrested disease, and restored health.

The work has been so greatly extended, that the division entitled " Street Directory" contains 152,416 names, being about Thirty-Eight Thousand more than have ever appeared in the cor responding division of any other book. Its distinguiehing feature is, that in it all the streets, squares, crescents, etc., dcc.,ot the me tropolis and its suburbs, appear in one general alphabetical ar rangement; it is, therefore, the only work in which the occupant of any house can be ascertained. The 152,416 names are carried into all the classifications to which they are appropriate, each in its proper alphabetical position ; all the members of any profession or trade, whether in the metropolis or its suburbs, are (in the " Trades " division) arranged alphabetically in one list. This being the only work in which they are so, is the only one in which all the members of any trade can be ascertained. The nobility, gentry, and professional persons resident in Lon don and its suburbs are included in the onetgenerel " Court . ' alphabetical list, now so greatly extended that it includes up wards of forty-four thousand names.

It besides has (exclu sively) ;that most important adjunct, an Index to Streets, Places, Chambers, Wharfs, etc., &c., with full Money-Order information. " It is just in proportion as this vigilance is exercised that a Directory becomes valuable or useless ; and an inspection of the work before us unquestionably leads to toe conclusion that, upon the score of watchfulness and accuracy, nothing is lett to be desired."—Times, Nov. 23. 1851. "The copiousness and accuracy of the ' Post-office London Directory' are wonderful."—Moraing Chronicle, Nov. 9, 1854. " Its reputation for accuracy and completeness defies the least whisper of suspicion or reproach."—Morning Herald, Nov. 6, 1854.

"Like the Loudon the ' Post-office Directory' exhibited more than halt • century ago, it has grown out of knowledge."— Speetator, Nov.ll, 1854. ' Looking at the two volumes, critically, and apart from con sideration of their cost, the 'Post - office Directory ' appears to us beyond question the best."—Examiner, Nov. 11, 1854. The information is, on the whole, not only most correctly given, but most conveniently arranged."—The Press, N vv. 25, 1864. "We have looked over several names, where very recent changes have made us doubtful that they might have been re gistered, but have found them all faithfully noted."—Court Journal, Nov. 11, 1854. " A more stupendous and accurate work of the kind than could be compiled in any other city of the world."—Church and State Gazette, Nov. 10, 1854. " The best Directory."—Leader, Nov, 11, 1854. "We might mention many similar marks of attention to the everchanging events of ' the Great Babylon'; but these few will suffice to show how differently the ' Post-office Directory' to managed to that of a rival, which makes the largest pretensions to accuracy and yet reiterates the same unpardonable blunders year after year."—Belfs Weekly Messenger. Nov. 11,1854. " Nicholas might face the Lancaster cannon, but he would turn pale-and-tail at the sight of the' Post-office Directory."' — Atlas, Nov. 4, 1664. "To possess a Directory that shall increase in correctness as in bulk has been the constant situ of the proprietor, and the past sale of his work proves that lie has attained this greet object."—lllustrated London News, Nov. 18, 1854. " Truly we may class the' Directory' among mixleni writers." —Weekly Dispatch, Nov. 5, 1864.

" Fully worthy of its unrivalled reputation as a metropolitan Directory."—Sunday Times, Nov. 5, 1654. "Complete as it appeared to be, the inventive power of the proprietor has yet devised some further improvements upon the publication of last year."—John Bull, Nov. 4, 1854.

Gratis, or forwarded per post on receipt of one penny stamp, a Review, in eight pages imperial octavo, showing a large number of absurd and ludicrous blunders, which have appeared In every edition of Watkins's Directory, as follows: 1. In the edition for 1852, published in December, 1851. 2. The same blunders reprinted into the edition for 1853. 9. The identical blunders again reprinted in edition for 1854. 4. The same once more reprinted into March edition for 1854. 5, And finally, the same again reprinted into the edition for next year. In the " Review" we predicted that no full and precise expla nation would be attempted, and the result has proved tile accuracy of the prediction: instead of an open add di rec t answer in print, the projector has forwarded written s tatements to viduals complaining of our " incessant" attacks upon his book, but omittin to state that the staple of each of theee c onsists of an expos u r e of stale, old reprinted blunders, each time a different catalogue from that apparently inexhaustible blunder-aline— Watkins's Directory. The Subscribers to the book are respectfully requested to peruse our lust Review, and then to require a full and precise published explanation of blundering, such as we believe never r have been paralleled in any book purporting to be a" Directory.
