PATENT SPERM OIL This excellent Oil, only ss. 6d. per imperial gallon, is bright as crystal in the coldest weather, and will burn in every de scription of oil lamp. The great expense of Sperm Oil (usually charged Bs. per gallon) can, now be dispensed with at pleasure; the Patent Sperm Oil is more pure, and lasts longer than real Sperm, and creates no dirt in the lamps like Fish Oils. Lamps burning it do not require cleaning for years, and, being so pure. four gallons go as far as five gallons of any common oils,—so, in reality, the Patent Sperm Oil is cheapest. The DIAMOND CARCEL LAMP may be fitted to any other Lamp Pillar now in use, at a cost of 215., (exclusive of Glass,) and to prevent disappointment, the money will be returned for any Lamp not approved of withirrone week.

ON THE ATTAINMENT OF HEALTH , AND THE BEST MEANS FOR ITS PRESERVATION. BY MR. JAMES COCKLE, SURGEON, &c. " Health is a blessing dropt from heaven, Which money cannot buy ; The life of life ' • the body's peace— And pleasant harmony." Notwithstanding the revolutions medicine has undergone as a science, despite the theories which have alternately reigned de spotic in her schools, and tne controversies which have divided her most distinguished ornaments, her ultimate aim has ever been the alleviation of human suffering; for should either the enthusiasm of her followers or the warmth of their discussions surprise us whe:, we consider' the priceless object—h ea l t h : the attainment nt.,i - - • • - ...... UM, aTlit preservation of which are so ardently sought by all that u single exception would be a paradox in the history of society. But the aid of the physician is too frequently soli cited restore lost health, instead of enforcing the stiidy mands but gim !sson topreserve it; indeed, th e Goddess dc ple offerings, and that the possession nf boon requires Ili but to re rain from excesses against her laws has been thus elegantly illustrated by the philosophic Dr. Thomas Brown-s-" Between satiety on the one hand, and want on the other, "the - stream of health flows tranquilly along, which, but for these boundaries, would speedily waste itself and disappear, as the most magnificent river, which, if cispersed over a boundless plain, would flow almost into nothing, owes its abundance and majestic beauty to the very banks which seem to confine its water's within too narrow a channel." This beautiful truism embodies the creed of the ablest physicians— that simplicity and moderation with regard to diet, and a faith ful discharge of the functions of the digestive organs, will be the best guarantee for the maintenance of h ea l t h , as it is by their conjoined agency the body derives its support and strength, and which soon languish and decline when they be come enfeebled and oppressed. To palliate this latter state, to equalise the secretion of the liver, and to restore the digestive functions to their original and natural action, Mr. COCKLE'S COMPOUND ANTIBILIOUS PILLS are confidently recom mended. _ Prepared by Mr. JAMES COCKLE, Surgeon and Apothecary, 18, New Ormond-street, London, and may be had of all re spectable Medicine Vendors, in Boxes, at Is. lid. ; 2s. 9d. ; and 4s. 6d. . . Thr:Wilier's Testimonial in favour of COCKLE'S PILLS, must be admitted to be highly satisfactory, and will he read with much interest. . . The following is an extract from the second edition (page 188) of the translation of the New Pharmacopoeia of the Royal Col lege of Physicians of London, by Dr. 0. Y. COLLIER, published by Longman and Co.: . _ _ t in this compilation (speaking of the NEW PHARMACOPEIA) that we have no purgative mass but what contains aloes; yet we know that htemorrhoidal persons cannot bear aloes, EXCEPT it be in the form of Cockle's Pills, which chiefly consist of aloes, scammony, and colocynth, 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 na ture. 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 a, I attribute domestic convenience, and do not hesitate to say, it is th e b est made pill in the kingdom ; a muscular purge, a muco us purge, and a hydrogogue purge combined, and their effects properly controlled by a dingent and corrigent .
