" There are no diseases which have more puzzled the faculty
than nervous complaints and insanity. Doctors have both
been unable to account for them and to prescribe any means
of cure. This darkness has, however, been cleared away by the
clever author of the above pamphlet, in which he explains his
theory of cure in a very rational manner, and we feel certain
that it will induce many to apply to Mr. Adams for his a:Ats
assistance."—The Chronicle, Dec., 1846.
" We cordially recommend all nervous persons to submit
their cases to the skill of Mr. Adams, the author of a pamphlet
on Mind or Nervous Complaints and Insanity."—Farmer'.-
Journal, July, 1816.
" A most useful and important pamphlet."
cantile Journal, Sept.. 1846.
" We recommend Mr. Adams to those of our readers who are
nervous, and wish to be cured."—Bedford Times, Oct., 1846.

/IR. COCKLE'S PILLS for INDIGESTION,
BILIOUS HEADACHE, &c.
" What's rank or title, station, state, or wealth,
" To that far greater worldly blessing health?
" What's house, or laud, or dress, or wine, or meat,
" If one can't rest for pain—nor sleep—nor eat—
" Nor go about in comfort ? Here's the question ;
" What's all the world without a good digestion."
By Indigestion is usually understood functional disturbance
of the Stomach, Liver, &c. These organs are so intimately
associated in reference to their action, and so reciprocally de-
pendent, that any disorder occurring in the one must implicate,
more or less, the other. By way of illustration -:—suppose the
liver to be torpid, and secreting less bile than usual—the bowels
then become inactive from the less 'their appropriate stimu-
lus, and suffer accumulation ake place. Again :—as a
consequence of this latter ndition the functions of the
stomach also become disc red, and loss of appetite, nausea,
and oppression supery e. At length from these multiplied
local errors, constitutional disturbance is set up, inducing
various sympathettE nervous affections : the key to the alle-
viation of whick# the knowledge that disorders of the digestive
organs are the initial acts in the production of such phe-
nomena. To the immediate subjects of these observations,.
Mr. COCKLE'S COMPOUND ANTIBILIOUS PILLS are especially
recommended. By combining aromatic, tonic, and aperient
properties, they remove all oppressive accumulations, regulate
the secretion of the liver, strengthen the stomach, induce a
healthy appetite, and impart tranquillity to the nervous system.

Dr. Collier's Testimonial in favour of COCKLE'S PILLS, must
be admitted to he highly satisfactory, and will be 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
College of Physicians of London, by Dr. G. F. COLLIER, pub-
lished by Longman and Co._ . _ _

" It is no small defect in this compilation (speaking of the
NEW PHARMACOPEIA) that we have no purgative medicines
but what contains aloes ; yet we know that hwmorrhoidal per-
sons 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 nature. I think no better and no worse o! 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 muscular purge, a mucous purge,
and a hydrogogue purge combined, and their effects properly
controlled by a dirigent and corrigent. That it does not com-
monly produce haemorrhoids, like most aloetic pills, I attribute
to its being thoroughly soluble, so that no unnissolved particles
adhere to the mucous membrane of the rectum."
NOTE.—Purchasers of Cockle's Pills ought particularly to
examine the Government stamp affixed to each box, and to see
that the words " JAMES COL .E, APOTHECARY," are en-
graved upon it in white letters, of without this mark of authen-
ticity none can possibly be genuine.
