TOOTH-ACHE AND DECAYED TEETH.
WHITE'S PEARL CEMENT, for filling decayed
Teeth, rendering them useful for mastication, and pre-
venting Tooth-ache. The advantage of this Cement over other
preparations is in its being perfectly harmless in the mouth,
and while it effectually protects the tender Teeth from heat and
cold, and portions of food decomposing in the cavities, so often
the cause of Tooth-ache, it arrests the progress of decay, and
removes that unpleasant taint of the breath arising from un-
sound Teeth. The Pearl Cement is sim le in its application,
any one may use it : it never chap our,ind lasts for years.

ON THE ATTAINMENT OF HEALTH, AND
THE BEST MEANS FOR ITS PRESERVATION.
BY MR. JAMES COCKLE, SURGEON, &C.
" Health is a blessing dropt f •
9m
Which money cannot buyl heaven,
The life of life • the body'spe'ac
And pleasant harmony." -
Notwithstanding the revolutions medicine has under
a science, despite the theories which have alternately reigreldedaes-
spotic in her schools, and tne controversies which have divided
her most distinguished ornaments, her ultimate aim has ever
been the alleviation of human sfiffering ; for should either the
enthusiasln of her followers or the warmth of their discussions
surprise us when we consider the priceless object—health; the
attainment and preservation of which are so ardently sought
by all that a single exception would be a paradox in the history
of society. But the aid of the physician-is too frequently soli-
cited to restore lost health, instead of enforcing the study of
Nature's easy lesson to
.preserve it ; indeed, the Goddess de-
mands but simple offerlngs,, and that the possession of her
boon requires us but to refrain from excesses against her laws
has been thus elegantly illustrated by the philosophic Dr.
Thomas Brown—" Between satiety on the one hands 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 mamificent river, which, if dispersed
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 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.
Prepared by Mr. JAMES COCKLE, Surgeon and Apothecary,

spectable Medicine Vendors, in Boxes, at Is. lad. ; 28. 9d. ;

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 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. G. -F. COLLIER, published
by Longman and Co. :
" It is no small defect in this compilation (speaking of the
NEW PHARMACOPEIA) that we have no purgative mass but
what contains aloes; yet we know that hemorrhoidal persons
cannot bear aloes, EXCEPT it be in the form of Cockle's Pills,
which chiefly consist of aloes, scammony, and colocyntb, 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 particlea
adhere to the mucous membrane of the rectum."
NOTE.—Purchasers of Cockle's Pills ought particularly to

Stß,—l feel in duty bound to ac owledge, that after suffer-
ing acute pains from Sciatica, o evere Rheumatic affection in
the hip-joint, and being de ri of rest, I was persuaded to
try your embrocation, and e the pleasure to say that after
three applications I was r ored to my usual health ; and, al-

—I am, Sir, grateful' ours, EDWARD NOYES.

Sta,—l have be several weeks confined to my bed by Gout
and Rheumatism, not a part from my head to my feet free from
pain, and as helpless as an infant: not even a finger could. I
move. In this unpleasant situation I was informed by my me-
dical attendant he had applied all'the usual remedies, and that
I might remain months m my deplorable situation.
Fortunately your remedy was made known to me, or I might
have been to this day confined to my bed. After a close appli-
cation of four days, my troublesome companion began to dis-
appear; in a week I was capable of walking about my room,
and by another week's perseverance in the use of your Medi-
cine was enabled to leave Loodon. Fearful of another attack,
you will please to send six bottles.—l am, Sir, your obedient
servant. —77 - D. W. STONE.

The astonishing success which has crowned the application
of this external Medicine in the most hopeless and deplorable
cases, when the unhappy sufferer had despaired of ever gaining
even the least relief, and this after the ablest advice and every
other means had completely failed, most justly entitles it to the
attention of the afflicted.
This excellent Medicine, so universally esteemed, is unat-
tended with the least danger or inconvenience, and hundreds
have experienced its happy and salutary effects since it ivas
first introduced.

Such are the properties of this invaluable Specific that per
sons labouring under the most distressing Rheumatism, Rheu-
matic Gout, and Lumbago, and rendered thereby incapable of
assisting themselves, have been relieved in a few hours.

THE subj of Railroads in India has at length
attracted a degree of public attention, sufficient to ensure
a speedy commencement and progressive extension of a prin-
ciple so calculated to develope the internal resources of that
portion of our dominions.
In the Minute of the Court of Directors of the East India
Company, to the Bengal Government, dated the 7th of May,
1845, it is stated,—" That it cannot admit of question, that
wherever railroad communication can be advantageously in-
troduced and maintained, it is eminently deserving the encou-
ragement and co-operation of the Government."
The construction of any and every line of railroad within the
East India Company's territories, must be undertaken with
their sanction, and in subordination to such rules and regu-
lations as the local government under their authority may
deem fit to enact ; and the operations contemplated by this
company will, of course, be conducted in conformity with such
regulations.

In surveying the vast extent of territory embraced by the
British dominions in India, with a view to the introduction of
railroads into that country, it would appear obvious, that the
local demarcations which have been found convenient in the
administration of the Indian Governments should be kept in
view. In raising the capital required to carry these under-
takings into execution, it will be necessary that the Directors
of the companies which may be formed in this country should
contain a large proportion of gentlemen possessed .of local
knowledge and experience in that part of India which is to
form the scene of their operations; and in this view of the
case, it seems natural that for the most efficient working of
such projects, a separate Board should be formed in this
country for the organization of railway operations within each
of the Presidencies of Beng,al, Madras, and Bombay, to act in
conjunction with local committees of the Indian Presidencies;
each of such boards in England to contain such a proportion
as may be thought desirable of parties qualified by residence
and local knowledge of the different Presidencies, to afford
useful and correct information upon the subjects brought
before them. . .

Impressed with these views, this Provisional Committee has
been formed with the object of securing the introduction of the
railway system into the territories under the Presidency of
Madras. _ _ _ _ _

In the minute of the Court of Directors above alluded to, it
is stated to be their intention to depute to India a skilful
Engineer, to be associated with two Engineer Officers in their
owd service, to investigate the subject of railway communica-
tion in India, in all its bearings; and they add, that one object
of this committee will be to suggest some feasible line, of
moderate length, as an experiment for railroad communication
in India.

It is probable that in no part of the East India Company's
dominions will this subject be attained with so much ease and
certainty as on the line of road from Bellarry to Madras ; and
it is to the construction of a railway between these points that
the operations of the present Company. are proposed, in the
first instance, to be directed, with a view to accomplish the
primary object of the preliminary investigation about to be
undertaken by the Committee appointed by the East India
Company.
This line has all the requisites for an experimental railroad.
The distance is moderate, being Two Hundred and Seventy
Miles by the present winding route, and by this projected
direct line the distance will only be Two Hundred Miles; and
the country between the termini may be taken for all practical
purposes as a level. There.is already a substantial road raised,
connecting Bellary, Cuddapah, and Madras, which has success-
fully proved the capability of such a work to withstand the
peculiar sources of destructive action enumerated in the Court's
minute as operating against the railway system in India—the
termini of which places are military stations, and of great
commercial importance; a large traffic on goods, passengers,
troops and military stores already exists upon the road ; and it
passes through a fertile and very populous country. This pro-
vince was one of our earliest acquisitions in the East. Since
the rise of the British power in India it has enjoyed uninter-
rupted peace and tranquillity, and is, relatively to its extent,
the most productive portion of our Indian Empire.
The surveys and estimates already made by eminent engi-
neers contain the minutest details of the cost of construction
of a single line of rail, upon a principle which has been found
to be perfectly efficient in America.
But it is considered that, however desirable such a construc-
tion maybe for the feeding lines that connect the thinlypeopled
and less cultivated tracts of the country with the main trunk
lines upon which the largest portion of the traffic must always
pass, a more substantial method of construction, and one more
approaching than that found to answer best in Europe, will be
required upon the trunk lines, of which that from Bellary. to
Madras is the most important within the Madras territories.
This part of the country. is so singularly favourable for a rail-
road, that the cost of a single line with rails of the dimensions
generally used in this country, will not exceed £5,000 a mile,
and that, by fixing the available capital at £1,000,000, it is con-
sidered that a sufficient fund will be provided to meet all the
possible contingencies that can attend the construction of the
proposed line.
The present population of the territories included in the
Presidency of Madras exceeds 14,000,000.
The line will pass through the country towards Hyderabad,
the great cotton and indigo districts of Bellary, and also through
the towns of Roopangoodv, Hotoor, Wdgar-Guroor, Paundy,
Calanuddy, Moochatota, 'l'audaperata, Tallypootatoor, Vattoor,
Gondytita, Baukrapp, Jummulmagoor, Camalapoor, Waller,
Chenoor, Cuddapah, Mauchuply, Sidhot, Mullailputman, Ho-
blum, Chinglulon, Washils, Dwor, Cotopand, Mundaloor, Chi-
tuvail, Cotoor, Dassoor, Podalcoor, Muinbole, Avnce, Penpol-
nin, and Cholaveram, to Madras, and it will afford facilities for
the transport to the coast of the produce of Mysore and North
Arcot, consisting of sugar, tea, coffee, nut, lac, potatoes, corn,
oil, seeds, grain of various kinds, and charcoal and firewood;
towards the West it will facilitate communication with the cot-
ton districts of Salem and Coimbatire ; and towards the South
with the fertile countries of Trichinopoly and Tanjore. The
best cotton that is raised in India is produced in the Madras
territories; all that is required to enable it to compete success-
fully with American cotton, is increased facility for bringing it
to the shipping ports in good condition, and at a moderate rate
lof transport, which can only be effected by a railway. [See
Copy of last Report by the Directors of the Manchester Cham-
ber of Commerce, as regards the Cotton growth in India.]
There already exists traffic on this line, of goods alone, ex-
clusive of passengers, which would make a fair return upon the
capital. It is impossible to calculate the returns to be expected
from the transit of troops, military stores, treasure, and the
conveyance of the mails on account of Government ; but the
amount must he considerable. The same consequences must
follow the introduction of railroads in India that have followed
elsewhere, and already the results in every instance have far
exceeded the expectations which the most sang-nine speculator
would have ventured to form.

It is clearly shown that there can be no line of railway in
Madras, to any extent, with which this line will not form a
junction or connection. But independent traffic for its support
exists between Bellary, Cuddapah, and Madras ; and whatever
line of railway it may form a junction with, it will increase its
traffic. It is so singularly situated as to be an independent
line of railway for its own support.
The system is but now in its infancy in Europe, and its pro-
gression hereafter no one can calculate. The same results
must follow in every instance of the introduction of railways
into countries possessing a fertile soil, a good climate, and a
numerous and industrious population ; and, at this moment,
there is probably no portion of the globe where the introduc-
tion of railways will ultimately produce more important re-
sults than the British possessions in India.
The management of the affairs of the Company will be vested
in a Board of Directors, in London, co-operating with a Local
Committee of residents in Madras. A proportion of the Shares
will be reserved for Madras.
