Noone will dispute the curative and
strength creating value of cod liver
oil. For centuries IL has been recog-
nized as the grandest of all healing
and body building agents for wasted
human strength and vitality.
Yet. owing to the heavy, greasy oil
which envelopes the medicinal ele-
ments, and which has no value either
as TODD or medicine, MANY patients
weakened by disease cannot digest 1t
ell her in its raw form or an emul ion,
and others will not take IL on account
of its disagreeable odor and taste
consequently its value is lost.
Now, the process q scovered by two
eminent French chemists Morgues
and Gauti r-sbould interest every
person in Belding, for all of the tonic,
body building and curative elements
OF cod liver oil are now separated
