Prepared for Medicinal Use in the Loffoden Isles, Norway, and put to the Test of Chemical Analysis. The most effectual remedy for Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma, Gout, Chronic Rheumatism, and all Scrofulous Diseases. . _ _ . Approved of and recommended by Berzelius. Liebig, Woehler, Jonathan Pereira, Fouquier, and numerous other eminent medi cal men and scientific chemists in Europe. Specially rewarded with medals by the Governments of Bel. glum and the Netherlands. Has almost entirely superseded all other kinds on the Conti nent, in consequence of its proved superior power and efficacy— effecting a cure much more rapidly. Contains iodine, phosphate of chalk, volatile acid, and the ele ments of the bile—in short, all its most active and essential principles—in larger quantities than the pale oils made in Eng land and Newfoundland, deprived mainly of these by their mode of preparation. A pamphlet by Dr. de Jongh, with detailed remarks upon its superiority, directions for use, and cues in which it has been prescribed with the greatest effect, will be forwarded gratis on application. The subjoined testimonial of the late Dr. JONATHAN PERE IRA, PlTlfilletli at the University of London, author of " The Elements of Materia 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 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 and 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 me 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 my best wishes for your success, believe me, my dear air, to be very faithfully yours, (Signed) "JONATHAN PEREIRA. "Finsbury-square, London, April 10, " To Dr. de Jongh."
