When the stomach has become enfeebled or disarranged by disease, excess, or irregularities, or the appetite is impaired by mental or bodily exertion, or from any cause whatever, it gives a regularity and tone which is not obtained by any other medicine.

It is highly recommended by the medical pro fession to be taken whenever Cod Liver Oil is ordered. By pouring the required dose of the oil into half, a wine-glass of the “Orange Quinine Wine” scarcely a flavour of the oil is tasted, and the wine materially assists the. oil in its .beneficial operations.
