THE FOLLOWING is an EXTRACT from the Second Edition (page 188) of the Translation of the Pharmacopoeia of the Royal College of Physicians in London, by Dr.G. F. Coiner, published by Longman and Co. :—" It is no small defect in this compilation (speaking of the pharmacopoeia) that we have no purgative mass but what contains aloes; yet we know that luetuorrhohlal persons cannot bear aloes, except it be in the form of COCKLE'S PILLS, which chiefly consist of aloes, scammony, 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 • 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 iresitate to say it lithe best made pill in the kingdom ; a mus cular purge, a mucous purge, and a hydrogogue purge com bined, and their effects properly controlled by • dii igent and corrigent. That it does not commonly produce haemorrhoids like most aluetic pills, I attribute to its being thoroughly so. brble, so that no otiadissolved particles adhere to the mucous inembr.we." 1166 CONTRACT FOR ASK HOOPS.

The above mode of insurance has been found most advanta geous when Policies have been required to cover monetary transactions, or when incomes applicable for Insurance are at present limited, as it only necessitates half the outlay formerly required by other Companies before the present system was instituted by this Office. lA:cols.—Are granted likewise on real and personal Securities.
