T. S. SHUTTLEWORTH, Clerk of the Crown. Crown-office, Preston, November 24th, 1849.  Under Royal Patronage, and Sanction of the Nobility, Clergy, and Gentry,  COCKLE'S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS, a favourite aromatic and tonic aperient of high and unrivalled reputation.  The following is an Extract from the Second Edition (page 188) of the Translation of the New Pharmaconceia of the Royal College of Physicians of London, by Dr. G. P. Collier:— " It is no small defect in this compilation (speaking of the New Pharmacopoeia) 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, whicy I thiak 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 of it for its being a patent medicine. I look at it as an article of commerce and domestic convenience, and I do not hesitate to say it is the best made pill in the kingdom—a muscular purge, a mucous purge, and a hydrogegue purge, combined, and their effects properly controlled by a dirigent and corrigent. That it does not Colnmonly produce hemorrhoids, like most aloetic pills, I attribute to its being thoroughly soluble, so that no undissolved particles adhere to the mucous membrane of the rectum."
