'EATING'S COD LIVER OIL, just imported.
The Pale from Newfoundland, and the Light Brown
from Norway. The supplies of the present season have never
been surpassed, the fish being unusually fine, and the oil
dearly tasteless. Professors Taylor and Thompson, of Guy's
and St. Thomas's Hospitals, have analysed, and pronounced
The Pale Newfoundland Oil the best and most desirable for
invalids of very delicate constitution. The Light Brown
neing more economical in price is brought within the reach of
all classes. No higher price need be paid than the follow-
ing :—Light Brown, Is. Bd,per pint, or 3s. per quart. Pale,
la 6d. half-pints, 2s. 6d. pints, 4s. 6d. quarts, or in five-plot
bottles 10s. 6d. imperial measure, at 79, St. Paul's-churchyard,
London.
