LIGHT BROWN COD LIVER OIL
Prepared for Medicinal Use in the Loffoden Isles, Norway,
and put to the Test of Chemical Analysis. The most effec-
t...al remedy for CONSUMPTION, BRONCHITIS, ASTHMA,
GOUT, CHRONIC RHEUMATISM, and all SCROFULOUS
DISEASES.
Approved of and recommended by Benzemrs,
WOEHLER, JONATHAN PENEIItA, Focquitli, and numerous
other eminent medical meu and scientific chemists in Europe.
Specially rewarded with medals by the Governments of Belo
glum and the Netherlands.
has almost entirely superseded all other kinds on the Conti•
neut, in consequence of its proved superior power and efficacy—
effecting a cure much more rapidly.
Contains iodine, phosphate of chalk, volatile acid, and the ele-
ments of the bile—in short., all its most active and essential
principles—in larger quantities than the pale oils made in Eng-
land and Newfoundland, deprived mainly of these by their mode
of preparation.
A pamphlet by Dr. de Jongh, with detailed remarks upon its
superiority, directions for use, and cases in which it has been
prescribed with the greatest effect, will be forwarded gratis oft
application.
The subjoined testimonial of the late Dr. JONATHAN PE rut-
IRA, Professor at the University of London, author of " The
Elements of Materia Medics and Therapeutics," is *elected from
innumerable others from medical and scientific men of the high-
est distinction :
"My dear Sir,—l was very glad to find from you, when I had
the pleasure of seeing you in London, that you were interested
commercially in Cod Liver Oil. It was fitting that the author
of the best analysis and investigations into the properties of this
oil should himself be the purveyor of this important medicine.
" 1 feel, however, some diffidence in venturing to fulfil your
request by giving you my opinion of the quality of the oil of
which you gave me a sample ; because I know that no one can
be better, and few so well, acquainted with the physical end che-
mical properties of this medicine as yourself, whom I regard as
the highest authority on the subject.
" I can, however, have no hesitation about the propriety of re-
sponding to your application. The oil which you gave ms was
of the very finest quality, whether considered with reference to
its colour, flavour, or chemical properties; and I em satisfied
that for medicinal purposes no finer oil can be procured.
" With my best wishes fur your success, believe me, my dear
sir, to be very faithfully yours,
(Signed) "JONATHAN PEREIRA.

The Twenty-Third Annual General Meeting of this Society
was held at Edinburgh on the 2nd of May, 1851; William
Stuart Walker, Eag., of Rowland, iu the chair.
The Report read to the Meeting, and which was unanimously
approved of, contained the following particulars:—
rhe number of Policies issued during the year ending the let
of March is 010, the sums assured thereby being 242,7151., giving
all addition to the income in Annual Premiums of 8,5951.
The Policies lapsed by death during the year are 84, the sums
assured by which amount to 4:1,8.:101., and the bonus additions to
8,3821., making together 58,3321.
In comparing these sums with the amounts for the preceding
year, they exhibit au increase of seventeen in the number of new
policies, and of about 6,0001. in the sums assured. The increase,
though of moderate amount, must be considered satisfactory,
especially when regard is had to the great competition which
now exists In the business of I ifs Assurance.
The number of Policies lapsed by death is four under that of
last year, and the amount payable nearly 7,0001. less. Keeping
in view the additions made to the business, and the increased age
of the members of the Society, these are most gratifying circum-
stances.
The Sums remaining Assured amount to 4,231,595 i.;
The Animal Revenue amounts to 152,6151.;
And the Accumulated Fund is increased to 839,3541.
