ANTIBILIOUS of a careful and peculiar admixture of the bes PILLS consist
getable aperients, with the pure extract of the flowers re-
chamomile. They will be found a most efficacious remrse3fy theror
derangements of the digestive organs, and for obstructions and
torpid action of the liver and bowels, which produce indigestio%
and the several varieties of bilious and liver complaints, at-
tended by more or less of the following symptoms :—Frequent
sickness; acidity or heartburn; giddiness, head-ache, drowsi-
ness, and dimness of sight; spasms and flatulent distensions ;
an uncomfortable sensation experienced at the pit of thetsto-
mach soon after eating, with a feeling of weight or oppression :

c,ss s me , sometimes ex-
tending to the right shoulder, with a shortliver dry cough and in-
terrupted sleep; a yellow tinge of the skin and eyes, is often
perceptible; the heart's action is at times disturbed, and pul-
sation felt in various parts of the body, with a singing noise in
the ears, and a sense of fullness and weight over the eyes and
the back of the head; the tongue appears covered with a white
or yellowish fur; the taste becomes vitiated, the appetite im-
paired, and the breathing oppressed; the bowels are for the
most part inactive, and there is. much languor and depression
of spirits. To the immediate subjects of these observations,
MT. 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 be highly satisfactory, and will be read with
much interest.

The falo-w-iug 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 PHARMACOPUIIA) that we have no purgative mass but
what contains aloes; yet we know that limmorrhoidal 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
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 undissolved 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 COCKLE, APOTHECARY," are en-
graved upon it in white letters, as without thismark of authen-
ticity none can possibly be genuine.
