Is always in excess of the capacity for
digestion and absorption, aud injurious
results naturally follow In fact wo

harm has been caused by cod liver oil
were it not that in order 20 swallow IL, the
patient mixes 1t with whiskey, and the
alcohol thus taken neutraiizes the evil
done by the oil. 1t Is fact laid down by
all chemists aud scientists that nothing

and as this II what medical men aim &C
in their treatment OF the sick, 1t follows
that they are now largely prescribing
simply pure whisky and disseminating
the use OF cod liver oil entirely. None
OF these so-called cod liver oils pretend

Of them only 20per cent. Of pure oil. Some
Of It Is Shark Oil, which has been found
to have no medicinal effects In fact, it is
found worse than the cod liver oil. Two
ounces Of alcohol contains more nutri-

lean meat besides it is the only medicinal
article that enters the blood direct with
