THE PHARMACOPEIA.

The Second Edition (page 188) of the Translation of the Pharmacopoeia of the Royal College of Physicians in London, by Dr. G. F. Collier, published by Longman and Co.:-- "It is no small defect in this compilation (speaking of the Pharmacopaeia) that we have no purgative mass but what contains aloes, 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 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 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 mucous purge, and a hydrogogue purge combined, and their effects properly controlled by a dirigent and corrigent. 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 mucous membrane."

Dr. J. COLLIS BROWNE'S CHLORODYNE.

The ORIGINAL and ONLY RECIPE for the Manufacture of "CHLORODYNE" was confided by DR. BROWNE, the sole Inventor and Discoverer, to J. T. DAVENPORT.

CONSUMPTION, COUGHS, COLDS, ASTHMA, BRONCHITIS, NEURALGIA, RHEUMATISM, SPASMS, DYSENTERY, DIARRHEA, &c.

CAUTION "IN CHANCERY."

CHLORODYNE.

VICE-CHANCELLOR WOOD stated that Dr. J. Collis Browne was undoubtedly the Inventor of Chlorodyne; that the whole story of the defendant Freeman was deliberately untrue. Eminent hospital Physicians of London stated that Dr. J. Collis Browne was the discoverer of Chlorodyne; that they prescribe it largely, and mean no other than Dr. Browne's. --See Times, July 13, 1864. The public, therefore, are cautioned against using any other than Dr. J. COLLIS BROWNE'S CHLORODYNE.

THIS INVALUABLE REMEDY produces quiet refreshing sleep, relieves pain, calms the system, restores the deranged functions, and stimulates healthy action of the secretions of the body, without creating any of those unpleasant results attending the use of opium. Old and young may take it at all hours and times, when requisite.

EARL RUSSELL has graciously favoured J. T. DAVENPORT with the following:--

Extract of a Despatch from Mr. Webb, H. B. M.'s Consul at Manilla, dated Sept. 17, 1864.

"The remedy most efficacious in its effects (in Epidemic Cholera) has been found to be Chlorodyne, and with a small quantity given to me by Dr. Burke, I have saved several lives."

Dr. LOWE, Medical Missionary, India, states in his Report, December, 1865, that in nearly every case of Cholera in which Dr. J. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne was administered, the patient recovered.

EXTRACTS OF LETTERS.

From J. D. H. (Times, Aug. 80, 1865).--"I have found in Cholera no remedy more efficacious than Dr. J. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne, now so extensively used abroad, especially in India."

Mrs. Forbes, wife of the Chaplain at Paris.--"I cannot speak too highly of Dr. J. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne; I have not in any single instance been disappointed with the result, even m aggravated cases of Indian Cholera."

From Dr. Millman, of New Galway, Scotland.--"I consider it the most valuable medicine known."

From A. Montgomery, Esq., late Inspector of Hospitals, Bombay.--"Chlorodyne is a most valuable remedy in neuralgia, asthma, and dysentery. To it I owe my restoration to health, after eighteen months' severe suffering and when all other medicines had failed."

From W. VERSALIUS PETTIGREW, M. D.

"I have no hesitation in stating that I have never met with any medicine so efficacious as an antispasmodic and sedative. I have used it in consumption, asthma, diarrhoea, and other diseases, and am most perfectly satisfied with the results."

No home should be without it. Sold in bottles 1s. l 1/2d., 2s. 9d., and 4s. 6d. J. T. DAVENPORT, 33, Great Russell Street, London, W. C., sole manufacturer. Observe particularly, none genuine without the words, "Dr. J. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne" on the Government Stamp. Sold by all Chemists.

BEFORE LEAVING ENGLAND

INTENDING EMIGRANTS

Would do well to provide themselves with a Stock of Medicines so universally known and appreciated as the following:--

FRAMPTON'S PILL OF HEALTH.

This excellent Family Pill is a medicine of long-tried efficacy for purifying the blood, so very essential for the foundation of good health, and correcting all disorders of the Stomach and Bowels. Two or three doses will convince the afflicted of its salutary effects. The stomach will speedily regain its strength; a healthy action of the liver, bowels, and kidneys will rapidly take place; and renewed health will be the quick result of taking this medicine, according to the directions accompanying each box.

PERSONS OF A FULL HABIT, who are subject to headache, giddiness, drowsiness, and singing in the ears, arising from too great a flow of blood to the head, should never be without them, as many dangerous symptoms will be entirely carried off by their timely use.

For FEMALES, these Pills are truly excellent, removing all obstructions, the distressing headache so very prevalent with the sex, depression of spirits, dulness of sight, nervous affections, blotches, pimples, and sallowness of the skin, and give a healthy, juvenile bloom to the complexion.

To MOTHERS they are confidently recommended as the best medicine that can be taken; and for children of all ages they are unequalled.

These Pills unite the recommendation of a mild operation with the most successful effect; and for elderly people, or where an occasional aperient is required, nothing can be better adapted.

Sold by all Medicine Vendors, at 1s. 1 1/2d. and 2s. 9d. per box, or obtained through any Chemist.


BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS.

This preparation is one of the benefits which the science of modern chemistry has conferred upon mankind; for during the first twenty years of the present century to speak of a cure for the Gout was considered a romance; but now the efficacy and safety of this medicine is so fully demonstrated, by unsolicited testimonials from persons in every rank of life, that public opinion proclaims this as one of the most important discoveries of the present age.

These Pills require no restraint of diet or confinement during their use, and are certain to prevent the disease attacking any vital part.

Sold by all Medicine Vendors, or obtained through any Chemist. Price 1s. 1 1/2d. and 2s. 9d. per box.


TO EMIGRANTS.

One of the inconveniences attending a life in the colonies, is the absence of proper medical assistance which has frequently to be procured from a very considerable distance. Under these circumstances the intending emigrant will do well to provide himself with a good supply of

KAYE'S WORSDELL'S PILLS,

which have for nearly half a century had a large and increasing sale, and are admirably adapted to supply the great want to emigrants, that of a remedy always at hand, easy of application, and certain in its results.

These Pills are a purely Vegetable preparation, and may be taken at any time by either sex without fear of danger. They act upon the bowels mildly yet effectually, and by their fine tonic, aromatic, and aperient properties, they remove all oppressive accumulations, regulate the secretions of the liver and bowels, strengthen the stomach, and purify the blood. Unlike many remedies, they do not induce liability to take cold or establish a necessity for the habitual use of purgatives, and are thus strongly recommended as the BEST FAMILY MEDICINE.

Prepared solely by John Kaye, Esq., of Prospect Hall, Woodford, Essex. Sold by all Chemists and other dealers' in patent medicines, at 1s. 1 1/2d., 2s. 9d., and 4s. 6d. Wholesale Depot, 22, Bread Street, London.


DR. ROBERTS'S Celebrated OINTMENT, called the

"POOR MAN'S FRIEND,"

is confidently recommended to the Public as an unfailing remedy for Wounds of every description, a certain cure for ulcerated sore legs, if of twenty years' standing, cuts, burns, scalds, bruises chilblains, scorbutic eruptions and pimples on the face, sore and inflamed eyes, sore heads, sore breasts, piles, fistula, and cancerous humours, &c. Sold in pots, 1s. 1 1/2d., 2s. 9d., 11s., and 22s. each. Also, his

PILULAE ANTISCROPHULAE,

confirmed by sixty years' experience to be, without exception, one of the best alterative medicines ever compounded for purifying the blood, and assisting nature in all her operations. Hence they are used in scrofulas, scorbutic complaints, glandular swellings, particularly those of the neck, &c. They form a mild and superior family aperient, that may be taken at all times without confinement or change of diet. Sold in boxes at 1s. l 1/2d., 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d., 11s, and 22s.

Sold wholesale by the proprietors, Brack and Barnicott, at their Dispensary, Bridport, and by the London Houses. Retail by all respectable Medicine Vendors in the United Kingdom and Colonies.

Observe:-- No Medicine sold under the above name can possibly be genuine unless "Beach and Barnicott, late Dr. Roberts, Bridport," is engraved on the Government Stamp affixed to each package.
