THE FOLLOWING is an EXTRACT 1 Loin the Second F.dition (page 188) of the Translation of the Pharmacopoeia of the Royal College of Physicians in London, by Dr.G. F. Collier, published by Longman and Co.:—" It is no small defect in this compilation (speaking of the Pharmacopeia) that we have no purgative mess but what contains aloes; yet we know that hemorrhoidal persons cannot bear aloes, except it be in the form of COCKLF.'S PILLs, which chiefly consist of aloes, scammony, arid colocyntb, which I think are formed into a DIM of eoinpound 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 bciug 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 com bined, and their effects properly controlled by a di. igent and oorrigeut. That it does not commonly produce hemorrhoids like most aloritic pills, I attribute to its being thoroughly BO luable, so that uo undissolved particles adhere to {the mucous membrane."

WHEN YOU ASK FOR G LENFIELD PATENT STARCII, SEE THAT YOU GET IT, AS INFERIOR KINDS ARE OFTEN SUBSTITUTED. NICOLUS NEW REGISTERED PALETOT has all those advantages which secured such general popu- larity to Messrs. Nicoll's original I'aletot, that is to say, it avoids giving to the wearer an entre appearance, so that professional men ano all others can use it during morning and afternoon iu or out of doors. Secondly, there is an absence of unnecessary seams, well known to secure a more graceful outline, as well as to elect a great saving in wear; the latter advantage is conk- derahly enhanced by the application of a peculiar and neatly- stitched binding, the mode or effe:ting which is patented. Great exertions are being made to supply Messrs, Nicoll's agents throughout the ouuutry and the colonies with an assortment of this new garment simultaneously with the display in London, but it is necessary to inform the public that a 1 Messrs. Nicoll's manulactures may be distinguished by a trade mark, consisting of a silk label attached to each specimeu ; to copy this is fraud, and maybe thus detected. If the garment is dark-coloured, the label has a black ground, with the firm's name anti address woven by the Jacquard loom iu gold-coloured silk ; if the gar- meet is lighbeoloured, the label has a pale drab ground, and red silk letters, Each Paletot is marked in plain figures, at a fixed moderate price, and is of the best materials. In London the NEW REGISTERED PALETOT can alone be had of 11. J. and D. NICOLL, 114, 116, 118, 120, Regeut•street, and 22, A NEW DEPARTNIENT FOR YOUTH, &c. 11 . J. and D. NICOLL recommend for an Out- sucha side Coat the Havelock, and fur orainary use the Cape Suit, being well adapted for Young Gentlemen, as exhi- biting considerable economy with general excellence.

A great variety of materials adapted for the Kilted or Highland Costume, as worn by the Royal Princes, may be seen at WARWICK HOUSE, 142 and 144, Regent-street. FOR LADIES. VICOLL'S PATENT ' IitotILAND CLOAK .L is a combination of utility, elegance, and comfort. No Lady having seen or used such in travelling for morning wear or fur (revenue full dress would willingly be without one. It somewhat resembles the old Spanish Roquelaire, and has an elastic Capueiue Hood. It is not cumbersome or heavy, and measures from twelve to sixteen yards round the outer edge, felling in graceful folds from the shoulders ; but by a mechanical routrivance (such being a pan of the Patent) the wearer can Distantly knit semi -sleeves, and thus leave the arms as liberty at the same time the Cloak can be made as quickly toresume its Widen shape. The materials chiefly used are the soft neutral- irietued shower-proof Woollen Cloths manufactured by this tine. The price will be two guineas and a half for each Cloak ; but with the Michanique and a lined Hood a few shillings more is alleged. This department is attended to by Cutters, who pre. Pare Mantles of all kinds. with Velvet, Fur, or Cloth Jackets, either for in or out door use. These at all times—like this Firtn's Riding Habit—are in good taste and fit well. Female attendants may also be seen for Pantslons des Dames 1 Chaval, partially compered of Chamois. As no measure is required, the rstmt highland Cloak can be sent at once to any part of the sod is thus well adapted for a gift. I LIt sad D.
