" Dr. de Jongh gives the preference to the Light-Brown Oil over the Pale Oil, which contains scarcely an) volatile fatty acid, a smaller quantity of iodine, phosphoric acid, and the elements of bile, and upon which ingredients the efficacy of Cod Liver Oil no doubt partly depends. Some of the deficiencies of the Pale Oil are attributable to the method of its preparation, and espe ciall,, to its filtration through charcoal.

We find it to be genuine, and rich in iodine and the elements of bile." DR.
