COD LIVER OIL, PORT CHALMERS. THE Manufacturer of this now celebrated Cod Liver Oil, with a knowledge thathowever encouragement tonative industry may be lauded, felt that the fact of its being of local manufacture would alone create a prejudice against it, and determined to defer placiug his Oil prominently before the public until analyses by the best authorities in the Colony, and the result of trials by eminent medical practitipners in New Zealand, had indisputably proved that his Cod Liver Oil cannot be excelled by any imported Oils for Curative Power, Genuineness, Purity, Strength, and all the essential requirements of a Therapeutic Agent. Innes's Cod Liver Oil possesses, the following distinctive characteristics :—: — 1. Its genuineness, purity, & strength will be seen from the analyses of Dr. Hcctpr and Professor J. G. Black. 2. It contains all the essential principles that therapeutic experience has found to be most effectual in cases of Consumption, Diseases of the Chest, Debility, Prostration, Emaciation, &c. 3. It is palatable, can be taken and retained by the most delicate stomach, and creates no nausea. 4. Its medicinal properties and remedial povyers are proved by the subjoined indisputable tests. 5.. Numerous instances of the rapidity of its curative effects can be adduced in Otago. 6. Its local manufacture admits of its being sold at a cheaper rate than the imported oils. Extract from analysis of Dr. Hector, forwarded to his Honor the Superintendent of Otago : — "I have the honar to inform you that the Oil prepared by Mr. I unes of Port Chalmers from fish livers has been further examined, in compliance with yonr request of the, 4th ult. lodine exists in both samples of the oil in rather higher proportions than in Langton and Scott's, which is a favorite brand. The usual amount of iodine in Cod Liver Oil is l-20th per ceut. The Cod Liver Oil in the market varies in density from. - 915 to 929 lunes's Steamed Oil is - 928 „ Boiled „ - 927 Both samples appear to be thoroughly sound and free from matters that might in time render it rancid. " I would recommend Mr. Innes's notice to the preparation of the watery extract from the fish livers, which is ■ stated to contain all the curative powers of the oil except those that depend on its nourishing properties. 28 pounds of liver, which yield 12 pounds of oil, will give 1 pound of watery fluid, which, on being evaporated, yields 2 oz. of extract ; 5 grains of the extract are equal in effect to half an ounce of the oil. "I have, &c, (Signed) "James Hector." Copy of analysis of Professor James • G. Black, University, Dunedin :— f'l have analysed a sample of Cod Liver Oil forwarded by Mr. Innes of Port Chalmers. This Oil, expressed from the fresh liver of the Lotella Bacchus — one of the Gadit&l, or true cods — is prepared and bottled by Mr. Innes with, due attention to purity and cleanliness. In these respects it bears favorable comparison with other similar preparations now in the market — Langton's, De Jongh's, &c.
