IMPORTANT TO ADVERTISERS rpHE Counties of SOUTH WALES, bor- dering on England, offer the most valuable and Profitable fields for ADVERTISERS that can be found within the same extent in the empire-if we exclude the great Metropolis, and the rich teeming districts of the ever-productive, the ever-absorbing NORTH. MONMOUTHSHIRE, GLAMORGANSHIRE, BRECONSHIRE, with their large population, commercial enterprise, and w^dily-increasing wealth, are. unquestionably, COUNTIES to which Advertisers may look with confidenoe for an return for any outlay they may incur, in pushing their several interests, with a view to large and produc- tive sales, &o. THE MONMOUTHSHIRE MERLIN, ^MORGLINSHIRE AND BRECON SILURIAN, ND SOUTH WALES ADVERTISER, hag been for more than a quarter of a century, the GREAT ADVERTISING MEDIUM OF THE DISTRICT. Advertisers desirous of availing themselves of the pub- lieity of its columns, are requested to address the Publisher, Mr. CHRISTOPHERS, NEWPORT, MON- HOUTHSUIRE.

The well merited celebrity of Dr. de Jongh's Oil is attested by it3 extensive use in France, Germany, Holland, Belgium, and Italy, by numerous spontaneous testimonials from eminent mem bers of the facuItyand scientific chemists of European reputation, and since its introduction into this country, by the marked confi- dence, as well as great success, with which it has been prescribed by medical practitioners. In many instances where other kinds of Cod Liver Oil have been taken with little or no benefit, it has produced mostimme- diate relief, arrested disease, and restored health. SELECT MED fcAL OPINIONS:— A. B. GRANVILLE, ESQ, M.D., F.R.S., Author of The Spaa of Germany" The Spas of England," On Sudden Death," <tc d-c. Dr. Granville has ii3ed 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.

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. Dr. Cowan wishes DR. DE JONGH every success in his meritorious undertaking.' 0. RADCLYFFE HALL, ESQ., M D., F.R.C.P.E., Physician to the Torquay Hospitalfor Consumption, Torquay, Author ofEssays on Pulmonary Tubercle," dc. I have no hesitation in saying that I generally prefer your Cod Liver Oil for the following reasons :—I have found it to agree better with the digestive organs, especially in those pa- tients who consider themselves to be bilious; it seldom causes nausea or eructation; it is more palatable to most patients than the other kinds of Cod Liver Oil; it is stronger, and consequently a smaller dose is sufficient."
