THE FOLLOWING is an EXTRACT
f.om the Second Edition (page 188) of the Translation of the
Pharmacopoeia of the Royal College of Physicians in London, by
WA.). le. Coiner, puolished 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 htemorrhoidal persona 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 tome 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 com•
bined, and their effects properly contro►led Dy a di. igent and
corrigent. That it does not commonly produce htcmorrhoids
like most Cootie pills, I attribute to ita being thotoughly so-
»table, so that no undissolved particles adhere to the mucous
membrane."
