THE FOLLOWING is an EXTRACT L hom the Second Edition (page 188) of the Translation of the Pharmacopeia of the Royal College of Physicians in London, by Dr.O. F. Collier, puolished by Lougman and Co. :—" It is no small defect in this compilation (speaking of the Pharmacopeia) that we have no purgative mass but what contains aloes; yet we know that hemorrhoidal persons cannot bear aloes. except it b e in the form of COCKLE'S PILLS, which chiefly consist of aloes, common'', and colncynth, which I think are formed Into a sort of compound extract, the acridity of which is obviated, I suspect, by an alkaline process, and by a fourth ingredient (unknown to me) of an aromatic tonic nature. I think no better and no worse of it for its being a patent medicine. I look at it as an article of commerce and domestic convenience, and do not hesitate to say it is the best made pill in the kingdom ; a mus- cular purge, a mucous purge, and a hydrogogue purge coin tuned, and their effects properly controlled by a diligent and corrigent. That it does not commonly produce hemorrhoids like most Cootie pills, I attribute to its being thoroughly so luable, so that no undissolved particles adhere to the mucous membrane."
