CHRONIC BRONCHITIS, ASTHMA, COUGHS RHEUMATISM, GOUT, GENERAL DEBILITY, DISEASES OF THE SKIN, RICKETS, INFANTILE WASTING, AND AH SCROFULOUS AFFECTIONS. RF^HE invariable purity, palatableness, speedy I efficacy, and consequent economy of this unrivalled preparation, have obtained for it the general approval and unqualified confidence of the Medical Profession, and notwithstanding the active, and in too many instances, unscrupulous opposition of interested dealers, an unprece- dented amount of public patronage. The immeasurable therapeutic superiority of Dr. DE JONGH'S Cod Liver Oil over every other variety is incon- testably established by the recorded opinions of the most distinguished Physicians and Surgeons in all parts of the world. In numberless instances, where other kinds of Cod Liver Oil had been long and copiously administered with little or no benefit, Dr. DE JONGH'S Oil has produeed almost immediate relief, arrested disease, and restored heal lb.

"I have frequently prescribed Dr. DE JONGH'S Light Brown Cod Liver Oil. I consider it to be a very pure Oil, not likely to create disgust, and a therapeutic agent of great value." A. B. Granville, Esq M.D., L.R.C.P., F.R S., Author of The Spas of Germany," Ihe Spas of England," On Sudden Death," etc., etc. Dr Granville has used Dr. DE JONGH s Light-Brown Cod Liver Oil extensively in his practice, and h..s found it not only efficacious 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 particutarkind producees the desired effect in a shorter time than others and that it does not cause the nausea and indigestion too often consequent on the administration, of Pale^Oil.. Ihe Oil being, moreover, much more palatable, Dr. Granville's patients have themselves expressed a preference for Dr. DE JONGH'S Light Browu Cod Liver Oil.

The policies also are free from some restrictions imposed by other offices, aud confer unusuul privileges as to foreign resilience, non-forfeiture, &0. THE SCHEME OF UNCONDITIONAL ASSUR- ANCE, adopted by the Association, relieves the assured of nearly every restriction or condition. The policies of this scheme, therefore, have an extraordinary value and importance, and afford complete protection under almost a;1 circumstances. The Policies of the Association under both schemes, therefore, present an unusual reliability and efficiency- qualities especially necessary in Life Assurances held as securities in connexion with debts, marriage settlements, &c.
