HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION
and DISEASES of the CHEST.
Patron—The QUEEN.
Incorporated by Act of Parliament.
Thirteen years ago there was no hospital for consumption,
nor any shelter to he found for the victims of a national disease.
Since the opening of the first portion of the new building in
1616, no less than 3,03 in-patients, 111111 29,506 out-patients, have
been treated, and in very many instances the disease has been
successfully overcome; and so great has been the demand for
admission that the names of 165 persons, upon an average, have
hitherto been upon the books as unable to be taken in for want
of room. This painful circumstance, continually pressing itself
upon the notice of the Committee, has determined them, in full
reliance upon the necessary increase of public support, to throw
open the whole of the New Wing, which accommodates 130 addi-
tional patients; and they have now the satisfaction to announce
that the long and distressing delay to which patients had been
unavoidably subjected exists no longer. At the same time, how-
ever, in taking so bold and decided a step, a vast addition of re-
ernisibility has been incurred, and upon this and other grounds
the Committee earnestly appeal for kind and special considera-
tion at this very important period in the history of the Charity.
Every donor of £3l 10s. or upwards at one time, or at different
w.ioils within three years, becomes a Governor for life, and may
re,otinnen.l one in patient and eight out-patients annually.
Every subscriber of .£3 3s. or upwards per annum becomes a
Governor, and may recommend one in-patient and eight out-
patient annually.
Every person making a bequest of £lOO or upwards to the
Hospital may nominate a Life Governor, and in the event of no
such nomination being made the executor first mentioned in the
Will is entitled to the privilege of a Life Governor.
Subscriptions and donations in aid of the Charity are received

DR. DE JONGH'S

LIGHT BROWN COD LIVER OIL.
Prescribed with complete confidence by the Faculty for its purity,
efficacy, and marked superiority over all other kinds.

It is entirely free from nauseous flavour, and being invariably
and carefully submitted to chemical analysis—AND (mix SUP-
PLIED IN SEALED BOTTLES TO PRECLUDE SUBSEQUENT ADMIX•
'PURE OR ADULTERATION—this Oil possesses a guarantee of
genuineness and purity offered by no other Cod Liver Oil.

Extract from " THE LANCET," July 29,1854.
" Dr. de dongh gives the preference to the Light Brown Oil
over the Pale Oil, which contains scarcely any volatile fatty acid,
a smaller quantity of iodine, phosphoric acid, and the elements
of bile, and upon which ingredients the efficacy of Cod Liver Oil
no doubt partly depends. Some of the deficiencies of the Pale
Oil are attributable to the method of its preparation, and espe•
daily to its filtration through charcoal. IN THE PREFER-
ENCE OF THE LIGHT BROWN OVER THE PALE OIL
WE FULLY CONCUR.

"We have carefully tested a specimen of the Light Brown
Col Liver Oil prepared for medical use under the direction of
Pr. de Jong'', and obtained from the wholesale agents, Messrs,
ANSAR, MARFORD, and Co., 77, Strand. We find it to be genuine,
and rich in lodine and the elements of bile."
