JUBILEE YEAR of COCKLE'S PILLS . 1851 . " Truth lives not for a fleeting hour , But scornB e ' en Time ' s destroying power . " The last fifty years have seen many wonderful changes—social , political , and , indeed , all but universal . The medical world itself , too , has had its revolutions . New drugs and new compounds have been introduced , some of which have experienced but an ephemeral existence , whilst others have been retained as choice and valuable medicines . But through all these eventful changes . COCKLE'S ANTIB 1 LIOUS PILLS , the compound of a qualified practitioner , have continued to rise in public estimation , increasing in sale to the present hour . Prepared only by James Cockle , Surgeon and Apothecary , 18 , New Ormond-street , London ; and sold b y all Medicine Vendors , in boxes , at Js . lAd . and 2 a . 9 a . opinions of tub press . " The Family Medicine Chest . —A good family medicine cheat , with a prudent use , has saved many a life ; and yet we think the idea might be improved upon and reduced to a more simple form . Take some good compound , such us Cockle's Antibilious Pills , and we find that the desired end may be obtained without scales and weights or little mysterious compartments and enchanted bottles with crystal stoppers . Others might be used ; but Cockle ' s Pills , as tested by many thousanda of persons , and found to answer their purpose eo well , maybe set down as the best . " -Observer . "Comfort and its Securities . —There can be no comfort without health , and up health without a well-ordered frame . If one organ becomes impaired an appropriate remedy must be sought , and this ia never wore true than with respect to the liver . The entire body quickly sympathizes with its complaints , and nature looks for help toaid her in tlie work of restoration . For tuia purpose Mr . Cockle ' * Autibilioua Pills are one of the greateBt achievements of medical science . "—Morning Pott . "Mkijioal Housuholu Wouds .-Every family haa its upecific ; but nothing can bumoru dangerous than thu fallacy that one medicine will cure every disorder . Every drug and every compound has its office—beyond which it becomes mischievous , ami to the recognition of tins great truth may be attributed the unparalleled success of a medicine which has never , during half u century of ita existence , met wuh disparagement . We allude to Mr . Cockle ' s Antibiliouu 1 ills , which have become one of the household words of the Hritish iyn \ . \ on . "~ Daily Neutt . " Cocki . k vetsut Him . —We perceive that this celebrated suit is still in litigation . Miiny utwuipis have been made to put down the defendant , but none with more effect than thoue made by Mr . Cockle . If the nuisance « v « r »•»> be wholly » batt > d Cocklo ' y Antibilioua Pillu will do it " —liell ' t Life .

I Thirdly . By providing an approach to this site for the trans-¦ I mission of the dead , and the conveyance and return of mourners , I upon such terms , and under such provisions as will render the I performance of the solemn funeral duties , alike delicate , decent , I secluded , and economical , without violating " the highway of 1 the river , " the resort of most of those who seek relaxation and I recreation , mental and corporeal , during all the time when such I highway ia available , and without mingling- the light-hearted I and the distressed , the healthy and the victims of disease , the I living and the dead , in one indiscriminate voyage . I Fourthly . By the reservation of separate and distinct locali-I ties , the whole forming- parts of one great and comprehensive I cemetery plan , by which the several metropolitan parishes will I preserve , notouly the individuality of their burial places , but I with it that control which will insure economy , seclusion , and I propriety in the arrangement of those interments , which have I hitherto and still will come under their management . To effect these objects the Company have obtained two thousand acres of land at Woking- Common , on tho line of tho Southwestern Railway , by which it can be approached , from otm of the most central and convenient termini in the metropolis , iu forty minutes , being less than the time required iu most caaes to reach tho metropolitan cemeteries . The ptirchase-inon <; y for this land , : \ nd of certain alleged interests thoreiu , amounts to tlve sum of £ 57 , 000 , with a contingent claim upon the uurplus after the payment of all expenses , and of £ 10 per cent , to the Shareholders . They have , moreover , made arrangements with the Directors of that Company for the suitable deposit and nep : irate transmission of bodies , and f . ir the conveyance and return of mourners , under circumstances which will en . ihlo the Company to present to the public a permanent tariil ' of charges , not only more economical than thoso which any other board , not having tho advantage of a comparatively inexpensive site , cm present , but even below those which , now constitute tho expeuueuof interment , within the walln . Tile statistics of mortality for live yours , within the Mctiopolitan Burial District , shew an avcrago of M / J'Ja tleuUm . beiii " 1051 weekly , and 151 daily , whilst the existing Suburban Cemeturicu aro precluded from receiving more than 18 , 000 coruaea annually , leaving no provision for the interment of .

OFFrCKS OF THE COMPANY . 16 a , GRE-AT GEORGE-STREET , WESTMINSTER . An Act having passed in the last Session of Parliament , by which Intramural Interments are , in so far as the metropolis is concerned , permanently prohibited , the public have reason to regret that such legislative interference , the necessity for which is so clearly indicated in the Report of the Board of Health , hasnot , owing to unavoidable circumstances , been followed up by remedies calculated by their promptitude , vigour , and extent , to give effect to the requirements of the act . In this state of suspense and inactivity , the promoters of this Company , feeling that the same spirit of individual enterprise which has effected such grand and beneficial results in the construction of other works of national importance and utility , may be properly and advantageously applied to this comprehensive work of Sanitary Amelioration , have ventured to promulgate their plans , which they confidently trust will be found eminently calculated to give immediate and complete effect to those requirements . First . By providing a Metropolitan and National Necropolis at such a distance from the Metropolis as public health and . convenience require , upon a scale of magnitude commensurate with the annual mortality of a rapidly increasing population , and capable of meeting the exigencies of unwonted visitations of disease . Secondly . By the selection of a site susceptible of the highest ornamental characteristic adornment , " fulfilling , " to use the words of the Board of Health , " all the requisite conditions of situation , distance , surface , soil , and accessibility , " and capable of furnishing separate graves for no less than twenty millions of bodies .
