    that the LotFoden oil, as an external application, is decidedly improved by having been subjected to a high temperature in the method described. I have been induced to add some remarks on taking the oil, it being well known that many patients who might have been in all probability cured by its use, have died, being unable to take it. And, if the suggestions relating to its uses should lead in any degree to its more extended use, it will be another object gained, because I must believe that I have seen many patients die (both in hospitals and in private practice), some of them in juvenile years and others in the prime of life, who would have been cured if it had been prescribed ; neither the Loffoden oil, however, nor yet its medical properties, were at that time known as they now are, and no dependence could be placed on it as then imported. Mount Vernon, Hampstead, August 20th, 1856.
