The subjoined testimonial of the late Dr. JONATHAN PE rut- IRA, Professor at the University of London, author of " The Elements of Materia Medics and Therapeutics," is *elected 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. " 1 feel, however, some diffidence in venturing to fulfil your request by giving you my opinion of the quality of the oil of which you gave me a sample ; because I know that no one can be better, and few so well, acquainted with the physical end che 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 propriety of re sponding to your application. The oil which you gave ms was of the very finest quality, whether considered with reference to its colour, flavour, or chemical properties; and I em satisfied that for medicinal purposes no finer oil can be procured. " With my best wishes fur your success, believe me, my dear sir, to be very faithfully yours, (Signed) "JONATHAN PEREIRA. "Finsbury-eqnsre, London, April le, 1861. " To Dr. deJongh."
