" WILLIAM GjOHRIST, ApOtheciry and Surgeon."

The extrvecry properties of this medicine are thus de-
scribed by • eminent physician, who says " After particular
observation of the action of PARR'S PILLS I am determined
in my opinion that the following are their true properties :
" First,—They increase the strength, while most other medi-
cines have a weakening effect upon the system, Let any one
take from three to four or six pills every twenty-four hours,
and, instead of having weakened, they will be found to have
revived the animal spirits, and to have imparted a lasting
strength to the body.

" Secondly,—In their operation they go direct to the disease.
After you have taken six or twelve pills you will experience
their effect ; the disease upon you will become less and less by
every doke you take, and if you will persevere in regularly
taking from three to six pills every day, your disease will be
entirely removed from the system. _ _ _

" Thirdly,—They are found, after giving them a fair triai for
a few weeks, to possess the most astonishing and invigorating
properties, and they will overcome all obstinate complaints,
and restore sound health ; there is a return of good appetite
shortly from the beginning of their use, whilst their mildness
as a purgative is a desideratum greatly required by the weak
and delicate, particularly where violent purging is acknowledged
to he injurious instead of beneficial.
" Fourthly,—As a general Family Medicine they are exceed-
ingly valuable, and no family should be without them, for they
may be used with perfect safety in any disease, for to every
disease they are of inestimable value. John Dale, Esq., of
Manchester, Lecturer on Chemistry, and pupil of the celebrated
Dr. Dalton, F.R.S., in a letter, addressed to the Proprietor, in
London, says :—` I beg to state I find them worthy of being
recommended to the public for their efficacy and simplicity,
and to be really vegetable pills, containing, as they do, nothing
but what is of vegetable origin.' With this assurance the pub-
lic need have no fear of giving them a fair trial.

"Fifthly,—There is noinedeine ever introduced to the public
that has become so universally popular with females as PARR'S
LIFE LILLS. For all complaints peculiar to females they are
of most 'astonishing efficacy; and they are confidently recom-
mended to them for general use. A trial of a box of these pills
will at once prove the truth of this assertion."

tIN THE ATTAINMENT OF HEALTH, AND
ki 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 sufferi , or should either the
enthusiasm of her followers or the rmth of their discussions
surprise us when we consider t priceless object—health; the
attainment and preservation which are so ardently sought
by all that a single exceoti would be a paradox in the history
of society. But the aid the physician is too frequently soli-
cited to restore lost Ith, ins! ead of enforcing the study of
Nature's easy lesso to preserve it; indeed, the Goddess de-
mands but sirup offering's, and that the possession of her
boon requires ut to refrain from excesses against her laws
has been thus elegantly illustrated by the philosophic Pr.
Thomas Brown—" 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 %Aspersed
over a boundless plain, would flow almost
.into nothing, owes
its abundance and majestic beauty to the very banks which
seem to confine its waters 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 languis

Dr. Collier's Testimonial in favour of Cocx LE'S PILLS, must
be admitted to be 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 1)r. G. F. COLLIER, pub-
lished by Longman and Co.:—
" It is no small defect in this compilation (speaking of the
NEW PHARMACOPOEIA) that we have no purgative medicines
but what contains aloes ; yet we know that heemorrhoidal per-
sons cannot bear aloes, EXCEPT it be in the form of Cockle's

. ,
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 unnissplved particles

adhere to the mucO-Us.rmembraiieof 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 COCKLE, APOTHECARY," are en-
graved upon it in white letters, as without this mark of authen-
-0 I ticity none can possibly be genuine.

"SlR,—Havint been informed of tne surprising cure of Mr.
Barnes, of St. Paul's Churchyard, who was so severely afflicted
by Rheumatism, the intense pain causing delirium, that he was
compelled to be confined by a strait ,waistcoat to prevent his
committing any violence, and whose case was considered en-
tirely hopeless, I was induced to ascertain the particulars, and
being satisfied of the truth of my information, encouraged me
to make a trial of your most invaluable Medicine, entertaining
little hopes of success, having been many years so severe a suf-
ferer, and tried many said to be very valuable remedies. lam
very happy in being able to add my testimony of the benefit
I derived: after a few days' application the use of my limbs are
perfectly restored, and I am now able to attend my business,
and, making an allowance for my age, never/was better in my
life. To those, however severely afflicted and hopeless their
case may have been pronounced, I beg of them to make a trial,
