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.

To be had only, and seen burning daily, at

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—health : 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, the 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 health, 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. _

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 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 dingent and corrigent. That it does not com-
mybpeirnogduthceoroughly haemorrhoids,likesolubieso tliatt no l°uentdicispsiolllvsed particles

of Cockle's Pills ought particularly to
examine the Government stamp affixed to each box, and to see
that the wards "JAMES COCKLE; APOTHECARY," are en-
graved upofi it in white letters, as without tidemark of authen-
ticity none can possibly be genuine.-
