The oil obtained from the liver of the common cod (q. v.), and other allied species, has long been a popular remedy for rheumatism and some other complaints, but its use by medical practitioners is of comparatively recent date. The market is almost entirely supplied with this article from Newfoundland, where the fishing begins in June and October. The livers are either pre ed, or they are boiled in water, and the oil afterwards filtered, the color of it varying according to the mode of preparation, and the species of fish from which it is derived. Besides the usual constituents of fish oil, traces of bromine and of iodine (iodide of copper) are said to have been discovered in it, and to these agents its efficacy may perhaps be ascribed, though it has often been doubted whether it po e es any virtues beyond those of fat oils in general. In the dose of a tablespoonful or two daily, it generally acts slightly on the bowels; and though nauseous and disagreeable at first, the repugnance to it is soon overcome. Rheumatism, scrofula, chronic gout, skin affections, phthisis, and mesenteric emaciation are the diseases in which it has been principally prescribed. One or two tablespoonfuls twice or three times a day for adults, and a teaspoonful night and morning for young children, are the usual doses. Coffee, warm table-beer, dill, peppermint, and other aromatic waters, are the best vehicles for covering its nauseous flavor. made to form a code of laws in accordance with their altered circumstances; but, on account of the unsettled state of society at that period, nothing of a satisfactory nature was effected. At length Napoleon, after he be came first consul, appointed certain commi ioners to cooking-apple. draw up a project of a civil code, which was printed in the early part of 1801, and copies thereof transmitted to the different courts of France for their observations and suggestions. The whole was then laid before the legislative section of the council of state, and various points succe ively discu ed, Napoleon himself taking an active part in the debates. After being submitted to the tribunate, it was at length promulgated as the civil law of France, in 1804. When Napoleon was raised to the empire, the title of Code civil des Français was changed to Code Napoléon. In 1816 the former title was restored, and in 1852 the title of Code Napoléon was again given to it. This code, which regulates the civil rights of the people, as regards person and property, in its general arrangement and distribution resembles the Institutions of Just in i an. It is divided into three books, the first of which treats of the civil relations of individuals; the second, of property in its various kinds and modifications; and the third, of the various modes in which property is legally acquired. Besides the Code civil , the French written law comprises five other codes. The Code de Procédure civile relates to the forms of proce and the modes of procedure before the various civil courts. The Code de Commerce, as its name indicates, bears upon commercial transactions. It consists of four books, the first of which treats of commerce in general, of the various cla es of commercial men, of partnerships, .; the second, of maritime commerce; the third, of bankruptcies; and the fourth, of commercial tribunals. Code d ' Instruction criminelle regulates the forms of procedure in criminal cases. The Code pénal defines the various kinds of crimes, and their several punishments. This and the preceding were promulgated in 1810; but important changes have been made upon them by subsequent enactments, particularly in 1832. The sixth and last of these is the Code fores tier , which was published in 1827, and relates to the administration of the woods and forests. In this country the most complete code which has been enacted is that of Louisiana. This State was at one time a French, at another a Spanish colony; and after its ce ion to the U. States a radical revision of its Co'do, in Brazil, a town of the prov. of Maranhão, at the confluence of the Codo with the Itapicurù, 50 m. N.W. of Caxias. Codogno, ( ko - done yo,) a town of N. Italy, prov. Milan. cap. of dist, in a fertile country between the rivers Po and Ceddo, 15 m. S.E. of Lodi. It is well built, and has manufactures of silk stuffs. It is the principal mart in Italy for the cheese misnamed Parmesan. Population 10,582. Codo'rus Creek, in Pennsylvania, traverses York co., and flows into the Susquehanna about 10 m. from Columbia. B. 1770. At the age of 13 he entered the navy, and in 1805 commanded a line-of-battleship at the battle of Trafalgar. He subsequently a isted at the bombardment of Flushing, served in the Scheldt expedition, and defended Cadiz when besieged by the French. In 1814, C. participated in the attack on New Orleans, and, in 1826, he was appointed to command the English fleet, that, in conjunction with those of France and Ru ia, destroyed the Turco-Egyptian fleet at the battle of Navarino, in 1827. D. in London, 1851. Co'dy, WILLIAM FREDERICK, a noted scout and show. man, was born in Iowa, February 26, 1845, and was early employed in carrying government stores on the plains. During the civil war he served as a scout in the Indian country. He became a dead shot with the rifle, and his remarkable skill in killing buffaloes gained him the title of "Buffalo Bill." He subsequently served as a scout, as a representative in the Nebraska legislature, and in the Sioux war of 1876. After some expe rience in the theatrical busine , he produced, in 1883, the "Wild West" show, made up of Indians, cowboys, scouts, and other western characters. Had great succe in this country, and in 1887 visited Europe, to which he has since paid a very succe ful second visit. Co-efficacy, n. The power of two or more things uniting together to produce an effect; joint efficacy. Co-efficiency, n. Co-operation; the state of acting together to some single end. Co-efficient, a . [Lat. con , and efficiens -efficio, to effect-ez, and facio , to make.] Jointly efficient; cooperating; acting in unison to the same end. -n. That which co-operates, or joins in action with something else to produce the same effect. (Algebra.) One of two, simple or compound, factors whose product constitutes a term. Thus in the term 2ab2c, 2ab2 is the co-efficient of c. 2a of bac, and 2 of al2c. In the latter case, 2 is frequently called the numerical co- efficient of the term, the others being distinguished as literal co- efficients . In an algebraical expre ion, and especially in quantics whose terms involve constant as well as variable factors, it is usual to restrict the term co- efficient to the former, and to refer to the latter as facients. Co-efficiently, adv. In co-operation; by a method of joint action.
