FOR LADIES.

VICOLL'S PATENT HIGHLAND CLOAK
is • combination of utility, elegance, and comfort. No
Lady having seen or used such in travelling for morning wear
or fur covering full dress would willingly be without one. It
somewhat resembles the old Spanish Roquelaire, and has an
elastic Capucane Flood. it is not cumbersome or heavy, and
measu►es' trans twelve to sixteen yards round the onter edge,
falling in graceful folds from the shoulders; but by a mechanical
contrivance (such being a part of the Patent) the wearer can
instantly form semi sleeves, and thus leave the arms at liberty ;
at the same time the Cloak can be made •e quickly to resume its
original shape. The maim ials chiefly used for travelling are the
soft neutral-coloured shower-proof Woollen Cloths manufactured
by this firm, but for the promenade other materials are provided.
The price will be two guineas and • half for each Cloak ; but
with the Mechanique and a lined Hood a few shillings more are
charged. This department is attended to by Cutters, who pre-
pare Mantles of all kinds, with Velvet, Fur, or Cloth Jackets,
either for iu or out door use. These at all tines--like this
Firm's Riding Habit—are i❑ good taste and flt well. Female
attendants may also be seen for Pantalons des Dames i Cheval,
partially compo.nsd of Chamois. As no measnre is required, the
Patent Highland Cloak can be sent at once to any part of the
Country, and is thus well adapted for a gift.

NT,ICOLL'S PATENT CAPE PALETOT
II offers the following desideratum : the Cape descends from
the front part of the shoulders and forms a species of sleeve tor
each arm, both ftre at perfect freedom, having to pass through
enlarged apertures in the side or body of the Paletot these
apertures, however, are duly covered by the C ape, which does
not appear at the back part of the Paletot, but only in the front,
and thus serves to form hanging sleeves, at the same time con-
cealing the hands when placed in the pockets. The garment is
altogether no.st convenient and graceful In appearance, and can
in London alone be bad of H. J. sod D. NICOLL, 114, 118, 118,

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 be
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."
