Dr. De Jongh's Oil has produced imme diate relief, arrested disease, and restored health. OPINION OF Dr. LETHEBY, Medical O f ficer of Health to the City of London, rte. etc. " I have frequently had occasion to analyse the Cod Liver Oil which is sold at your establishment—l mean that variety which is prepared for medicinal use in the Loffoden Isles, Norway, and sent into commerce with the sanction of Dr. De Jongh, of the Hague. In all cases I have found it possessing the same set of properties, among which the presence of cholaic compounds and of iodine in a state of organic combination are the most remark. able; in fact, the Oil corresponds in all its characters with that named' Haile brunet and described as the best variety in the masterly treatise of DR. DE JONGH. It is, I believe, universally acknowledged that this description of Oil has great therapeutical power; and, from my investigations, I have no doubt of its being a pure and unadulterated article."
