DR. DE JONGH'S
LIGHT-BR OWN COD LIVER OIL,
entirely free from nauseous flavour and after-taste, is pre.
scribed with the greatest success by the Faculty as the safest,
speediest, and most effectual remedy for
CONSUMPTION. BRONCHITIS, ASTHMA, GOUT, RHEU.

SKIN, NEURALGIA, RICKETS, INFANTILE WASTING,
GENERAL DEBILITY, AND ALL SCRCFULOUS
AFFECTIONS.

Numerous spontaneous testimonials from Plosicians of Euro-
pean reputation attest that, in innumerable cases where other
kinds of Cod Liver Oil had been long anJ copiously adn inistered
with little or no benefit. Dr. De Jongh's Oil has produced imme-
diate relief, arrested disease, and restored health.

OPINION OF Dr. LETHEBY,
Medical Officer of Health to the City of London, rte. etc.
" I have frequently had occasion to analyse the Cod Liver Oil
which is sold at your establishment—l mean that variety which
is prepared for medicinal use in the Loffoden Isles, Norway, and
sent into commerce 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' Haile brunet and described as the best variety in the
masterly treatise of DR. DE JONGH. 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."
