An old Victorian advert for Scott’s Emulsion, made of cod liver oil, made by Scott and Bowe of Farringdon Lane, London, England, UK. It is from a magazine of 1890. Cod liver oil is a dietary supplement derived from liver of cod fish. As with most fish oils, it contains the omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), plus vitamins A and D. Historically, it was given to children because vitamin D had been shown to prevent childhood conditions such as rickets (a result of vitamin D deficiency), described as ‘wasting diseases of children’ – old 1800s graphiics.
