Advertisement for Cockle's Anti Bilious Pills, 1895. 'In Use all over the Globe. THE BEST. THE SAFEST, THE OLDEST PATENT MEDICINE. Free from Mercury. Of Vegetable Drugs. FOR BILE, LIVER, HEADACHE, HEARTBURN, INDIGESTION, ETC. A RIDE TO KHIVA. By Capt. Fred. Burnaby, R.H.G. "Two pairs of boots lined with fur were also taken; and for physic - with which it is as well to be 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 mine who passed through the same district many months after wards, informed me that my fame as a 'medicine man' had not died out.' From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
