IMPORTANT DISCOVERY OF A CURE, FOR NERVOUS
OR MIND COMPLAINTS.
Just Published, Fifth Thousand, and may be had
-port NOTHING, a PAMPHLET, on MIND and
I: NERVOUS COMPLAINTS, and on the new and only
successful means of curing those obstinate maladies, as disco-
vered and employed by Mr. WM. ADAMS, 23, Doughty-street,
Mecklenburgh-square, London.
There are hundreds of persons who, in the midst of plenty,
are harrassed and annoyed by an endless variety of anomalous
and painful feelings, which embitter existence, render life a
daily misery, and convert even social endearments into sources
of irritation and pique.
Such are solicited to read the above Pamphlet. In it they
will perceive the necessity for and the advantages of immediate
recourse to the treatment, sanctioned by experience and by the
testimonials of the cured.
Will be sent to any address, post paid, on receipt of two
stamps.
TERMS.—The means of Cure can be sent to all parts of the
world, with full directions, and the patient cured at home, or
more expeditiously by a temporary residence in London.
The only charge made is the averaged cost price of the means
of Cure—One Guinea per week.
Respectable but poor persons pay only half of the averaged
cost price—Haifa Guinea per week.

TESTIMONIALS OF TOL PUBLIC PRESS.
" 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
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's
Journal, July, 1816.
" A most useful and important pamphlet."—London Mer-
cantile Journal, Sept., 1846.
" We recommend Mr. Adams to those of our readers who are
nervous, and wish to be cured."—Bcdfcrd Times, Oct., 1846.
fit. COCKLE'S PILLS for INDIGESTION,
_al BILIOUS HEADACHE, &c.
" Wbens rank or title, station, state, or wealth,
" To that far greater worldly blessing health?
6' What'shouse, or land, 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 4etion, and soieciprocally 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 secretingless bile than usual—the bowels
then become inactive from the loss of their appropriate stimu-
lus, and suffer accumulation to take place. Again :—as a
consequence of this latter condition the functions of the
stomach also become disordered, and less of appetite, nausea,
and oppression supervene. At length from theSe multiplied
local errors, constitutional disturbance is set up, inducing
various sympathetic nervous affections : the key to the alle-
viation of which is 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 COMPOCND 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.
Prepared by JAMES COCKLE, Sirgeon and Apothecary,
18, New Ormond-street, London • and may be had of all re-
spectable Medicine Vendors, in Boxes, at ls. lid., 2s. 9d., and

Dr. Collier's Testimonial in favour of CocK LE'S PILLS must
be admitted to be highly satisfactlry, 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 PHA RmAcoecEin) that we have no purgative medicines
but what contains aloes ; yet we know that hwmorrhoiclal 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 profess,
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 COCILLE, APOTHECARY," are en-
graved upon it in white letters, a§-without this mark of authen-
ticity none•carr possibly be genuine.
