In innumerable cases, where other kinds of Cod Liver Oil had been taken with little or no benefit, it has produced almost im mediate relief, arrested disease, and restored health. OPINION OF C. RADCLYFFE HALL, Esq., M.D., F.R.C.P.E., Physician to the Hospital for Consumption, Torquay, Author of " Essays on Pulmonary Tubercle," ttc dc. " I have no hesitation in saying that I generally prefer your Cod Liver Oil for the following nations :—I have found it to agree better with the digestive organs, especially in those pa tients who consider themselves to be bilious ; it seldom causes nausea or eructation ; it is more palatable to most patients than the other kinds of Cod Liver Oil; it is stronger, and conse quently a smaller dose is sufficient."
