CHARLES EDW &RD MCDIE, 509, Oxford-street, and 20 and 91, - and 511, Now AFFECTIONS. Numerous spontaneous testimonials from Ph% sicians of Euro peen reputation attest that, in innumerable cases where other kinds of Cod Liver Oil had been long an I copiously ado iniatered with little or no benefit. Dr. De Jongh's Oil hai produced imme diate relief, arressed disease, and restored health. OPINION or Dr. LETHEBY, Medical Clieer of Health to the City of London, cte. Thome frequently had occasion to analyse the Cod Liver Oil which is sold at your establishment—l mean that varie , y which is prepared for medicinal use in the LotToden Isles, Norway, and sent into cominr.rce with the sanction of Dr. De Jongh, 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 braise,' and described as the best variety in the masterly treatise of Oft. DE Josou. It is, I believe, universally acknowledged that this description of Oil has great therapeutical power; and, from my investigations, I have no doubt of its being a pure and unadulterated article."
