" Deer Sir—l beg to return my acknowledgments for the copy of your Work on Cod Liver Oil, with which you have favoured me. I was already acquainted with it, and had perused it some time previously with considerable gratification, especially the chapter devoted to the consideration of the adulteration of Cod Liver Oil. " I have paid, as you are aware, much attention to the subject of the adulteration of drugs. Amongst the articles examined, I have not overlooked one so important as Cod Liver Oil, and this more particularly since Rho a very favourite r emedy with me, and Is, moreover, so liable to deterioration by admixture with other, erpecially inferior Fish Oils. I may state that I have more than once, at diderent times, subjected your Light Brown Oil to the inioal analysis, and this unknown to yourself, and I have always found it to be free from all impurity, and rich in the constituents of bile.
