COCKLE'S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS.
 
OF PURE VEGETABLE INGREDIENTS AND FREE FROM MERCURY.
 
THE PHARMACOPOEIA.
 
An extract from the second edition (page 188) or the translation of the Pharmacopoeia of the Royal College of Physicians of London, by DR. G. F. COLLIER, published by Longman & Co. : ---
 
"It is no small defect in this compilation (speaking of the new Pharmacopoeia) that we have no purgative mass but what contains aloe;  yet we know that haemorrhoidal persons cannot bear aloes, except it be in the form of
 
COCKLE'S PILLS,
 
which chiefly consist of aloes, scammony, and colcynth, which I think are formed into a sort of compound extract, the acidity 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 do not hesitate to say it is the best made Pill in the kingdom;  a muscular purge,  a mucuous purge, and a hydrogogue purge combined, and their effects properly controlled by a dirigent and ocriggent.
 
That it does not commonly produce haemorrhoids, like most aloetic pills, I attribute to its being thoroughly soluble, so that no undissolved particles adhere to the mucuous membrane."

Dear Sir, - The Gold Watch that you supplied to the Committee for Presentation to COLONEL STRONGITHARM, J.P., has given the greatest satisfaction, and I have much pleasure in saying that the COLONEL is highly pleased with it, and considers that it is as good as it could possibly be.  For myself, I have every reason to believe that it is excellent value.  I may say that the watch was submitted along with nine others, to an Expert out of town for his opinion as to their relative values, and that yours was chosen as being of the best finish and value. - Yours truly,
W. ASHBURNER.
