DISEASES OF THE SKIN, NEU RALGIA, RICKETS, INFANTILE WASTING, GENERAL DEBILITY, AND ALL SCROFULOUS AFFECTIONS, CONTAINS iodine, phosphate of lime, volatile C fatty acids-in short, all the most active and essential curative properties-in larger quantities than the Pale Oils manufactured in Great Britain and Newfoundland, mainly deprived of these by their mode of preparation. The well merited celebrity of Dr. de Jongli's Oil is attested by its extensive use in France, Germany, Holland, Belgium and Italy, by numerous spontaneous testimonials from emiiiert mem bers of the faculty and scientific chemists of European reputation and since its introduction into this comitrv. by the marked confi- dence, as well as great success, with which it has been nrescribed by medical practitioners. piebcrioea irist<inccs where other ITINHCS NF PaJ T A■ I V been taken with little or no benefit it L „ A LIVER H* dlate relief, arrested diseashea°L?h.
