COD LIVER OIL WITH
TtiE OIL TAKEN OUT
A Triumph of PhemlatrY and
Pharmaceufical Skill
Oil from the liver of the cod -fish has
been used for ages as a preventive of
disease and a restorative.'
For a long time it him been the general
opinion that the medicinal value of Cod
Liver Oil was the greasy, oily part itself
-its only drawback being the unpala-
table, fishy Mete of the mi. From the
first experts have been trying to find
means to make it more palatable. They
used to "cut" it with whisky -take it
in wine -flavor it with lemon juice -
anything to get away from that aboinite
able fishy teat* and smell.
Lots of people still take it in Emul-
Won form, which is nothing more than
"churned" oil -broken up -bet still
greasy, oily and a strain on the digestion.
Doctors were stow to find out that
the oil was a distinct drawback to the
medicinal principles contained in the
cod liver.
Crude oil is quite indigestible, and
will, in time, put the etrongest stomach
out of order.
A way has now been discovered to do
away with the grease and the smell, and
yet retain all the medicinal properties
of the liver. This is done by removing
the fresh oil from the new hvers. The
liver pulp is then reduced to the forth
of an extract like beef extract.
Nyal's Cod Liver Compound is simply
this liver extract combined with an ex-
tract of malt and healing wild• cheery.
It also contains the true hypophosplutes.
This combination makes Nyal's Cod
Liver Compound a delicious tonic -
