DR. DE JORGE'S LIGHT BROWN COD LIVER OIL, Prepared for MEDICINAL USE in the LOFFODEN ISLES, NORWAY, and put to the test of Chemical Analysis. THIS pure and unadulterated, transparent, light brown Cod Liver Oil, long known and justly appre ciated on the Continent, has now acquired the general confi dence of the Medical Profession in this country, by whom it has been extensively and successfully prescribed, and with almost Immediate and remarkably beneficial results—in many instances where ordinary Cud Liver Oil had been copiously, though intl . • fectually, administered. It owes its superior efficacy not oily to its method of prepara tion, but to the fact—clearly established by chemical analysis and therapeutic experiments—that the liver of the species of zod fish from which it is exclusively procured naturally contains a larger quantity of. iodine, of the elements of the bile and other essential remedial properties, than is found in other kinds of the GENUS °Pairs. It is of the finest quality, free from any admix ture, or the usually repulsive, sickly, and nauseous flavour or after-taste of the Pale Oils, or of the coarse Brown Oil, com monly sold, though totally unfit for medicinal purposes. Being sold by IMPERIAL MEASURE it is as low in price per ounce as any other genuine Cod Liver Oil, whilst its regular and speedy effects render it incalculably cheaper. Medical and Scientific Testimonials of the highest character delivered or for warded, GRATIS, ou application to Dr. de dough's Sole Agents and Consignees, ANSAR, HARFORD, and CO., 77, STRAND, London, by whom the Oil is sold wholesale and retail, in bottles capsuled and labelled with Dr. de Jongh's stamp and signature, and in THE comma by respectable Chemists and Vendors of Medicine.
