BY CAPTAIN FRED BURNABY, Royal Horse Guards. Page 13 says" 1 wo pairs of boots lined with fur were also taken; and for physic—with which it is as well to bo supplied when travelling in out-of-the-way places-some quinine and Cockle's pills, the latter a most invaluable medicine, and one which I have used on the natives of Central Africa with the greatest possible success. In fact, the marvellous effects produced upon the mind and body of an Arab Sheik, who was impervious to all native medicines, when I administered to him five COCKLE'S PILLS will never fade from my memory; and a friend of mfn» who passed through the same district many months after! wards, informed me that my fame as a 'medicine man' had not died out, but that the marvellous cure waa even then a theme of conversation in the bazaar." SEE BURNABVS RIDE TO KHIVA, page 13. A GOOD FAMILY MEDICINE CHEST, with a prudent use, has saved many a life and yet we thinly the idea may be improved upon, and reduced to a more simple form. Take some good compound, such as COCKLE'S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS and we find that the desired end may be obtained with- out scales and weights, or little mysterious compartments or enchanted bottles, with crystal stoppers. Others might be used, but COCKLE'S PILLS, as tested by many thousands of persons, and found to answer their purpose so well, may be set down as the best. —Observer. • Cockle's Antibilious Pills, In use the last seventy-nine years fer INDIGESTION.
