For Indigestion, Bthous Affections, Pains in the lfead, Sick Headache, Casual or Habitual Cot'.iieness, Nausea, Sickness, Heartburn, Piles, Fistula, Derangement of the Stomach and Head, caused by the excefs either of eating or drinking, and especially as a preventative and safe remedy for the GO"!t. RECOMMENDED BY Dr. GRAHAM, Author of "Domestic Medicine;" Dr. TURN BULL, of Russell-square, London Dr. WILSON, of London, Author of a ytork on the application of Vapour, dedicated to Dr, Macartney, of Dublin; Drs. HARE, ARDEN, REECE, and by the FACULTY in general. THIS elegant preparation of Magnesia, the result of much study and experiment, is fast superseding all other me- dicines 01 its class, and is now very generally acknowledged to be the best purgative ever introduced as a public medicine. The almost unprecedente,t sale which it has obtained, has aroused the cupidity of many unprincipled persons, who are always ready to take advantage of the populaiity of another's invention and this medicine has therefore been extensively imitated, by Compounds possessing none of its properties. Paichaser* can only rely upon the Government Stamp, which, in the genuine article, has" Moxon and Smith, (then co-part- ners) Chemists, Hull," engraved on it. This is the only certain proof of th* gpnuine preparation. It possesses all the uf ti*o mnci Saline Purgatives, without the disagreeable taste which renders such medicines so obnoxious to the palate and stomach and is uni- versally allowed, by all who have given it a fair trial, to be superior to all other medicine as a FAMILY PURGATIVE, and as an invaluable companion to the traveller, particularly those visiting tropical coantries; the sportsinaD, the delicate female, the sedentary student, and to all persons subject to ir- regularities of the bowels, and the disorders resulting there- from. A teaspoonful taken after any excess, either in eating or drinkinf will restore the tone of the stomach, and relieve all nnpleasant symptoms. If taken regularly for some time previous to the usual" time of experiencing a fit of Gout, it will general!* prevent and alwavs mitigate the severity of the attack, without that injury to the constitution which is consequent upon the use of colchicum and other strong sedatives. k To those afflicted by Indigestion, Bilious Disorders, Sick lieadaelie, and all other affections caused by an imperfect per- formance of the functions of the digestive orgatis, it affords pleasant and effectual remedy, its operation being at once el, lective and unattended by griping or other unpleasant symptoms.

THE HYGEIAN S Y S T E M OF MEDIC1XI The following deserves to be well considered by oil those who ilt terest themselves in the question of MEDICAL REIOHM, and who value their health. MR. MORISON'S discovery was not only that of an ex- cellent Medicine, which has been proved by the enor- mous sums paid to Government since the year 1830, in the way of Stamps, and cures effected,* but also a theory by which the poor as well as the rich might (at a small cost) cure themselves of their diseases. Hence the violent opposition which has been made by the Doctors to the Hygeian Medicines. Under the faculty's system, there are all sorts of Doctors. High and Low," in which are included Homoeopathists, Animal Magnetizers, See. &c., and, strange to say, some, once admittted as stars (?) in the profession, have embraced the twu last-mentioned doctrines The high doctors are intended, we presume, to keep the rich alive as long as they can, and tht low to kill the poor (for it has been admitted by doctors them selves that young practitioners must necessarily make many experiments upon the poor before they are competent to trea: the rich.)—Now, although the poor man cannot have all the comforts of the rich, he surely ought to stand as good a chance of being cured when attacked by disease. The Hygeian Sys- tem makes no difference between the rich and the poor in the way of treatment; and certainly medicine, whether looked upon as an art or a science, must sooner or later come to that equa- lity that it is, however, a science having fixed principles, there cjn be no doubt. The difference hel ween Hygeists and Doctors, is as follows: -Hygeisls believe that all diseases (however they may shf)" themselves) proceed from one cause impurity of the blood and fluids—and that, therefore, they are curable by the Hygeian Medicines, which cleanse the stomach and bowels;—Doctors, on the other hand, now say (for they continually alter) that diseases proceed from innumerable causes, none of which )he\ are agreed upon, and are to be cured by innumerable sorts ot Medicines, the effects of which are little understood, varying according to the fashion of the day, and the particular notions of the doctois, one contradicting another they are, moreover, lost in a labyrinth of symptoms Now of couise the above is a most convenient theory to act upon, which enables doctors to make the world believe that their attendances are constantly required, either to alter the medicine or to watch the alteration of the symptoms all this according to the Hygeian System, is unnecessary. Hence their opposition to the Hygeist, for having exposed the truth and hence, also, the present clamour which is made before Parlia- ment, for a law which is intended to prevent people taking what they please in cases of sickness. In order to put the Hygeian System to the test, let any body of Doctors fix upon a certain nnmber of diseases which thev contend could not be cured under the Hygeian treatimnt, and if it be proved (as it can be), that such diseases are cured bv Monson s Medicines, let the same at once be declared to the world under th« sanction of all parties, so that doubt may no longer exist, lhe Hygeian Dispensary at Exeter, is well cal- culated as a place for making the trial, since allsorts of diseases are being treate there, and that, most effectually, under the direction ot Mr. Richard Tothill, of Heavitree As an instance of the truth of the Hygeiari Theory, it mal be stated that in all countries throughout the woild where the Hygeian Medicines have been introduced, perfect success has attended their administration. The above, it is hoped, will be sufficient for Members of Parliament and ethers to beware how they interfere in the Me dical Question. British College of Health, Hamilton Place, New Road, King's Cross, London. The British College of Health is in possession of upwards of 300,000 well authenticated Cases of Cure, which fully beai out the truth of the Hygeian Theory of Medicines, from per- sons who had been given over as incuiaule under the old system At the Hygeian Dispensary at Exeter, cures aie continuaH; being effected, which baffle the medical skill of the old school. CAUDOS.—As many impostors make use of the name ot Morison, in order to impose upon the public, no medicine pur- i porting to be Morison's Medicines can be genuine unless the words "Morison's Universal Medicines" be engraved cn the Government Stamp, in white letters upon a red ground.
