DI:. DE JONGH'S
LIGHT BROWN COD LIVER OIL.

TES'ITIEONIAL from DB. LETHEBY,
Professor of Chemistry and Toxicology in the Medical College
of the London Hospital, Chemical Referee to the Corporation
of London, &a. &c.

" I have frequently had occasion to analyse the Cod Liver Oil
which is sold at your establialmient. I mean that variety which
is prepared for Medicinal use in the Loffoden Isles, Norway, and
sent into commerce with the sanction of Dr. DE donne, of
the Hague.
" In all elites I have found it possessing the same set of pro-
perties, among which the presence of choiaic 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 Iluile brunet and described as the best variety in the
masterly treatise of Iht. Da JONGH.

"1T IS, I RELIEVE, UNIVERSALLY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS
DESCRIPTION OF OIL HAS GREAT THERAPEUTICAL POWER ; AND,

"These beautiful and impassioned lines, written by Lord
Byron on the death of a friuud, like all that great man's writings
on the emotions of the heart, carry with them feelings of no or-
dinary kind. The present song was composed expressly for Mrs.
Lackey, an expresses with great simplicity the feeling embodied
in the poetry. it will form a very tine study for contralto or
baritone voices, whose aim is to give expression to intense
poetical feciing."—Vide Glasgow Sentinel, October 4.
