Excerpt from Essay on the Pyrophosphate of IronWe therefore combine the advantages of using perfectly fresh and healthy livers, with scientific and careful preparation, and feel assured that practitioner and patient alike. Will hail this accession to the list Of reliable remedies with satisfaction.It is a well-known fact, that nearly all the Oil brought to market, even the light colored, has been prepared by fishermen themselves, using all livers indiscriminately in its preparation, while a large proportion of the livers, even in a fresh state, are diseased, and are always rejected by us. They generally also keep the livers for one or more days, until partial decomposition occurs, and then, if the result is sour, they counteract it by the addition of potash or soda. These differences, While they are of the utmost import ance, cannot be detected, except by the most practised observer, without chemical analysis. This is the history Of nearly all the light-colored Oil in market, and is even more true of dark Oils, therefore, the only possible safeguard to the consumer is to obtain Oil prepared under the personal supervision Of a chemist.No argument is needed to prove the value Of cod liver oil, in its pure state, as a remedy. The fact is so generally admitted, as to render such a work unnecessary, nor is it necessary to point out the evidence of the fact that the Brown, or Nauseous Oil, is inferior, to be simply informed that the color results from the decay of the Hepatic tissues and ¿uids, and from exposure to' heat or air, will be sufficient for the patient.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
