The subjoined testimonial of the late Dr. JONATHAN PERE IRA, Professor at the University of London, author of " The Elements of Malaria Medics and Therapeutics," is selected from innumerable others from medical and scientific men of the high est distinction : "My dear Sir,—l was very glad to find from you, when I had the pleasure of seeing you in London, that you were interested commercially in Cod Liver Oil. It was fitting that the author of the best analysis and investigations into the properties of this oil should himself be the purveyor of this important medicine. " I feel, however, some diffidence in venturing to fulfil your request by giving you my opinion of the quality of We oil of which you gave me a sample ; because I know that no one che- can be better, and few so well, acquainted with th e physical and mical properties of this medicine as yourself, whom I regard as the highest authority on the subject. " I can, however, have no hesitation about the propriet m y of re sponding to your application. The oil which you gave e was of the very finest quality, whether considered with reference to its colour, flavour, or chemical properties ; and I am satisfied that for medicinal purposes no finer oil can be procured. "With 0e very ly yours,be fa s i t th w f i u s l hesfo yourr success, believe m e, m y 84: dear (Signed) " JONATHAN PEREIRA. "Finsbury-square, London, April lti, 101. " To Dr. de Jongh.'
