In many instances where other kinds of Cod Liver Oil have been taken with little or no benefit, it has produced most imme- diate relief, arrested disease, and restored health. SELECT MEDICAL OPINIONS:— A. B. GRANVILLE, EsQ M.D., F R.S., Author of The Spas of Germany," The Spas of England," On Sudden Death," &c ttc Dr. Granville has used Dr. de Jongh's Light-Brown Cod Liver Oil extensively in his practice, and has found it not only effica- cious, but uniform in its qualities. He believes it to be preferable in many respects to Oils sold without the guarantee of such an authority as De Jongh. DR. GRANVILLE HAS FOUND THAT THIS PARTICULAR KIND PRODUCES THE DESIRED EFFECT IN A SHORTER TIME THAN OTHERS, AND THAT IT DOES NOT CAUSE THE NAUSEA AND INDIGESTION TOO OFTEN CONSEQUENT ON THE ADMINISTRA- TION OF THE PALE NEWFOUNDLAND OILS. The Oil being, more- over, much more palatable, Dr. Granville's patients have them- selves expressed a preference for Dr. de Jongh's Light-Brown Cod Liver Oil. CHARLES COWAN, ESQ M.D., L.R C S.E Senior Physician to the Royal Berkshire Hospital, Consulting Phy- sician to the Reading Dispensary, Translator of "Louis on Phthisis," &c, Dr. Cowan is glad to find that the Profession has some rea- sonable guarantee for a genuine. article. The material now sold vanes in almost every establishment where it is purchased, and a tendency to prefer a colourless and tasteless Oil, if not coun- teracted, will ultimately jeopardize the reputation of an un- questionably valuable addition to the Materia Medica.
