DR. DE JONGH'S LIGHT BROWN COD LIVER OIL. Prepared for medicinal use in the Loffoden Isles, Norway, and put to the test of chemical analysis. The most effectual remedy for Consumption, Asthma, Gout, Chronic Rheumatism, and all Scrofulous Diseases.
Approved of and recommended by BERZELIUS, LIEBIG, WOEHLER, JONATHAN PEREIRA, FOUQUIER, and numerous other eminent medical men and scientific chemists in Europe. Specially rewarded with medals by the Governments of Belgium and the Netherlands. Has almost entirely superseded all other kinds on the Continent, in consequence of its proved superior power and efficacy--effecting a cure much more rapidly. Contains iodine, phosphate of chalk, volatile acid, and the elements of the bile--in short, all its most active and essential principles--in larger quantities than the pale oils made in England and Newfoundland, deprived mainly of these by their mode of preparation. A pamphlet by Dr. de Jongh, with detailed remarks upon its superiority, directions for use, cases in which it has been prescribed with the greatest success, and testimonials, forwarded gratis on application.
The subjoined testimonial of BARON LIEBIG, Professor of Chemistry at the University of Giessen, is selected from innumerable others from medical and scientific men of the highest distinction:
"SIR,--I have the honour of addressing you my warmest thanks for your attention in forwarding me your work on the chemical composition and properties, as well as on the medicinal effects, of various kinds of Cod Liver Oil.
"You have rendered an essential service to science by your researches, and your efforts to provide sufferers with this Medicine in its purest and most genuine state, must ensure you the gratitude of every one who stands in need of its use.
"I have the honor of remaining, with expressions of the highest regard and esteem,
"Yours sincerely, "DR. JUSTUS LIEBIG."

Important Sale by Auction of the whole of the remaining Copies of that splendid National Work, known as "FINDEN'S ROYAL GALLERY OF BRITISH ART," the engraved Plates of which will be destroyed during the Progress of the Sale, and in the presence of the Purchasers.
SOUTHGATE & BARRETT have received instructions from MR. HOGARTH, of the Haymarket, to Sell by Public Auction at their Fine Art and Book Auction Rooms, 22. Fleet Street, London, on Wednesday Evening, June 7th, and following Evenings,
THE WHOLE OF THE REMAINING COPIES
Of the very Celebrated Work, known as
FINDEN'S ROYAL GALLERY OF BRITISH ART,
Consisting of a limited number of Artists' and other choice proofs, and the print impressions, which are all in an exceedingly fine state. The work consists of 48 plates, the whole of which are engraved in line by the most eminent men in that branch of art, and the pictures selected will at once show that the great artists--Turner, Eastlake, Landseer, Stanfield, Webster, Roberts, Wilkie, Maclise, Mulready, and more than thirty other British Masters, are represented by the works which established and upheld them in public favour, and by themes which appeal to universal sympathy and happiest affections, or which delineate the peculiar glories of our country, and commemorate its worthiest and most honourable achievements.
The attention of the public is also particularly directed to the fact that ALL THE ENGRAVED PLATES from which the impressions now offered have been taken, WILL BE DESTROYED IN THE PRESENCE OF THE PURCHASERS, at the time of Sale. By thus securing the market from being supplied with inferior impressions at a future time, and at a cheaper rate, the value of the existing stock will be increased, and it will become the interest of all who wish to possess copies of these eminent works of art, at a reduced price, to purchase them at this Sale, which will be THE ONLY OPPORTUNITY of obtaining them.
Under these circumstances, therefore, SOUTHGATE & BARRETT presume to demand for this Sale the attention of all lovers of art--the amateur, the artist, and the public:--believing that no opportunity has ever offered so happily calculated to promote taste and to extend knowledge, while ministering to the purest and best enjoyments which the artist conveys to the hearts and homes of all who covet intellectual pleasures.
Framed Copies of the work can be seen at MR. HOGARTH'S, 5. Haymarket; MESSRS. LLOYD, BROTHERS, & CO., 22. Ludgate Hill; and at the AUCTIONEERS, 22. Fleet Street, by whom all Communications and Commissions will be promptly and faithfully attended to.
*** Catalogues of the entire Sale will be forwarded on Receipt of 12 Postage Stamps.
