Extract front "THE LANCET," Aar 29 , " After a careful examination of the different kinds of Cod Liver Oil, Dr. de Jongh gives the preference to the I.ignt Brown Oil over the Pale Oil, which suntans scarcely any volatile fatty acid, a smaller quantity of iodine, phosphoric acid, and the ele ments of bile, and upon which ingredients the efficacy of Cod Liver Oil no doubt partly depends. Some of the deficienisies of the Pale Oil are attributable to the method of its preparation, and especially to AN filtration through charcoal. In the prefer ence of the Light Brown over the Pale Oil we fully eoncur. " We have carefully tested a specimen of the Light Brown Cod Liver Oil, prepared fur medical use tinder the direction of Dr. de Jongh, and obtained from the wholesale agents, Messrs.
