OPIXION or Dr. LETHEBY, Medical Officer of Health to the City of Lomb's, Ihave 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 dough, 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' Hulk brew,' and described as the best variety in the masterly treatise of Ds. De iOXOII. It IS, I believe, universally acknowledged that this description of Oil has great therapeutical power; and, from my investigetions, I have no doubt of its being a pure and unadulterated article.,• Sold ONLY in Iwrizatti.
