MORE REMARKABLE TESTIMONY
ABOUT THE NEW REMEDY, There can no longer be the slightest doubt that in Stearas Wing of Cod Liver
medical science is cudowed with a remedial agent which is of the greatest value in every kind of wasting discuse---in fact, in every allmont for which corl liver oil has hitherto been the reenguzel medicine. The reason of this success is not far to seel. Cad liver oil itself, even in its most refined condition, is not ac ceptable to delicato stomachs, being very nauseous, evil-selling, and difficult of assimilation. The following letter will be road with interest :-
