VARIOUS COM AI To Mr. SHEPHARD, Hygeist, Newcastle. Dear Sir,—l should not have either troubled you or myself with my testimony in favour of Morison's Pills after such overwhelming evidence has already been laid before the public of their most extraordinary efficacy in the cure of all complaints to which the human frame is subjected, had it not been for the base calumny persev.ringly thrown out against the Pills by a class of men front whom the public might have expected better things. I read, the other day, in one of the public journals, a charge preferred against the Pills for having poisoned a person. The truth or falsehood of the charge I, of course, at present,,bave no means of ascertaining, but I fully believe the charge to be false, and for the following reason :—My wife, about twenty years ago, got an asthmatical complaint, from the effects of sleeping in a damp bed; the complaint gradually gained upon her constitution, until about twelve years ago, when the difficulty of breathing became so intolerable as day after day to cause us to expect suffocation. She was principally confined to her bed ; was, for years together, not able to be without doors. She was regularly attended by the faculty, for some of whom I feel under lasting ob ligations on account of their solicitude to render her relief. Every means were tried that physicians and surgeons could devise ; they pitied, but could not help, except in giving temporary rehef. From the time of her taking so ill till about the end of 1831—being about ten years—she bad blood let by the lancet or taken by leeches several bun dreds of times, besides blisters applied to her chest, some times thrice in the week, these being the principal means from which she felt relief. During the year 1830 it was too evident that the dropsy had affected her weak and emaciated frame; she became much swollen, both in her face, bowels, and legs ; palpitation be came very painful; the Water was suspected to be col lecting near her Heart. The only expectation both by her family and a large circle of friends was her dissolu tion ; the Faculty gave it as their opinion that her com plaint had assumed such an aspect as to preclude the last ray of hope of her recovery. About this time, November, 1831, I was often urged to give her Morison's Pills, but being an enemy to what is called Quackery, 1 could not be prevailed on, until I had purchased and read the " Morisoniana," in which Morison describes the true cause of all complaints, and the means of cure by the Pills. I was delighted with his theory. I hesitated no longer to try the Pills on my Wife, who was anxious to take any thing likely to relieve her sufferings, In December, 1831, she commenced taking the Pill s ; first in am all numbers, and as she gained strength of body she increased the number from five to twenty occasionally in the day. It is a remarkable circumstance that the Pills, which are a strong purgative, were the means of greatly increasing her strength. During the early part of 1832 the Dropsy gave way to the powerful effects of the Pills, and by the latter part of the year, and up to this day she has not had the slightest symptom of relapse. During 1832, little effect had been produced on her asthmatical complaint, but during this year, by the providenc e of God, she is greatly improved. She c an now attend to her domestic concerns; can take her rest at night ; and is able occa sionally to walk three and four miles a day ; she is a wonder to all who knew her. Whether ever she may be perfectly cured seems a doubtful case, frotn the length of time the complaint was suffered to prey upon the consti tution. It is now just two years since st.e commenced taking the Pills, and has only omitted taking them two days during that time. The number taken exceeds 9 000 ! ! How is it then that she is not poisoned ? This is my reason for believing the charge preferred against the Pills to be false. I leave my name and address with you, and am willing to refer inquirers, if any, to families of great respectability, who will corroborate the above statement ; and am willing, either verbally or by letter, to answer any inquiries. lam not an agent for Morison, and have no other interest whatever in recommending the Pills, than a firm persuasion of their powerful and harmless (not poi sonous) effects, in eradicating disease of every kind from the human system. I will further state I was much troubled with what was said to be a liver complaint, and was treated accord ingly by taking large doses of calomel, which very much imp tired my health. I tried the Pills, and in about a week my liver complaint left me, and I have felt no more of it since this took place, twelve months ago. One of my sons became very dull of bearing, which continued to get worse, until he took the influenza, when it was raging in this neighbourhood ; he had a most violent attack. He bad a sore throat, which caused great difficulty in swal lowing, and rendered it difficult to get Lim to take the Pills. The complaint kept increasing for three days; he was in a high state of fever and delirium ; we then made a desperate effort to administer the Pills ; on the fourth morn ing he took fourteen No. 2, and evening fifteen ditto, and the same quantity the next morning. During that day the fever had quite subsided ; he was able to come down stairs, with a good appetite; and what seemed to delight him most, he could join in the general conversa tion, having exchanged the fever for his hearing. Another son who had from his infancy been delicate, was in the practice of frequently taking calomel, to correct his bowels. I administered the Pills to him ; since, he has been quite healthy ; never rrquires any medicines unless he catches cold, when he takes three or four Pills at bed time and is well the next morning. From what I have experienced I am decidedly of the opinion that persons are not susceptible of taking cold while' under the me dicine. It is now my duty to thank you for your very kind attention to my family, in visiting them to encourage them to take the Pills, for want of persevering i n t a ki ng t h em has been the cause of many failures. Wishi ng y ou great succe ss in your most important sphere, in which, by the providence of God, you have then placed, I take my leave of you at present, promising, however, if need require, to make some disclosures which will set the public on their guard against believing many aspersions that have been raised against the medicines. I remain yours most respectfully, Newcastle, December 24, 1833. P.S. Language fails to describe the awful suffering state of the lady, whose case is above described ; I have seen her sitting up for weeks together, not being able to lay down for fear of suffocation ; and in that awful state of extreme weakness has taken large and powerful doses, three times a day, of No. 2, and yet, with all this purga tion daily gained strength. Amongst a numerous circle of friends her case is deemed nothing short of a miracle, and yet the pl eas i ng prospect is she is daily gaining at rength- I would fearlessly challenge all the M. D.s with all their nostrums to produc e a case equal to the one above, with numbers more, which had been given up by the M. D.s, who are now enjoying good health, who are sounding the fame of the Universal 'Medicine, but for in causes, test known tout o the aremselves, d ec li ne coming forward this public way, Willing at any time to he re ferred to.

But to my surprise a n d great joy, I can s ay th at , after quitting my trade for nearly a year, lam enabled to go about my business with a de gree of vigour and strength of body which I little expected, When u nder the hands of the faculty ; and I hesitate not to say that, in my opinion, the Hygeian Pills were the per manent cause of my recovery. Yours truly, THOMAS SKELTON. We also feel it our duty to say, that we have used the abov e Hygeian Pills, and in each and every case have found relief. We are fully satisfied that they are an ex cellent restorative. Yours with esteem, JAMES TENIPI.E. SIMEON PAINE. To Rufus K. Page, Esq. Bowdoinham, Sept. 2, 183 3 .

" Non est vivere sed valere vita."—Martial. " Life is only life when blest with health." THE finest System of Ethics is to confine within due bounds, and thus to regnlate the Pas sions; unrestrained, and insubordinate, they impetuously destroy those barriers which Religion and Morality have made sacred ; to curb but not annihilate them, appears the lesson of prudence, best calculated to limit their efferves cence. Every disorganization of the human frame requires great i medical knowl e d ge t o reme dy, a n d the public wel fare s promoted when professional men (disregarding the suggestions of the envious and interested) devote their studies to the t rea t ment o f t h ose compla i nts genera t e d by imprudence, and the ebullition of the passions at an un guarded moment. " The strength of a nation consists in the health of the people ;" but, it is melancholy to reflect on the daily sacrifice to the ignorance of unfeeling empy ricism ; and to counteract, as far as possible, its further ravages, we offer to suffering humanity the result of our own experience in the various diseases of Debility. The unwary victim of solitary vice (early acquired at school, before reason has asset ted her right over the mind), will, in contemplating his powerless state, become susceptible of enlivening sensations, in knowing that the most com plicated state of exhaustion may be roused into manly energy. Intense study—immoderate anxiety—long resi dence in tropical climes, and many other causes, will fre quently derange the Nervous System; in such cases we can hold out an assurance of re animation, by a treatment which has long answered the sanguine hopes of Patients of both sexes. That bane to human happiness, SYPHYLIS, can now be treated fearlessly, the improved state of Medical Sci ence having divested its antidote of those distressing pro perties that so long rendered its exhibition uncertain and harassing. Some peculiarities incidental to the softer sex have not escaped our attention ; in which mildness, combined with efficacy, has superseded the means usually adopted. In fine, our system is unique, peculiarly ener etic, and eminently successful. Educated in London, schooled in our professional at tainmentsniniu by its splendid medical characters, and having been able, personally, to compare with admiration the British Surgical practice with the Continental, our pre okaotrineosdntaboysuperiority (in a blanch we have selected) are experience, which is evinced by the daily ap masts e r u t r u o u rr: ein}rieceive, even from distant countries.

CITY OF LONDON CORPORATION INQUIRY. (Continued from The Sun of yesterday.) Some conversation ensued as to the right of the Common Council to grant the freedom of the city independently of the Court of Aldermen. Mr. Woodthorpe said that in one or two in stances the claim had been put forth by individual Members of the Common Council; but he was not aware that any person had been admitted to the freedom of the city by the Common Council alone, without the approbation and concurrence of the Court of Aldermen. Mr. Pritchard said the question had frequently been mooted in the Court of Common Council, and recently in the case of Mr. Crawford. On that occasion a Common Council was summoned for the purpose of conferring the freedom on Mr. Crawford, which was necessary to make his election for the city valid; but about an hour previous to the as sembling of the Court the Court of Aldermen con ferred the freedom upon that gentleman. The Common Council passed a resolution declaring that in consequence of Mr. Crawford having been ad mitted to the freedom, it was unnecessary to adopt any proceedings in the matter. Mr. Woocitiiorpe said it %vas an undecidefl question whether a candidate to represent the city could sit in Parliament unless he were a freeman at the time of his return. Mr. Woodthorpe here asked Mr. Franks, through the Commissioners, whether the two hun dred persans summoned for the non-payment of the poor rates in Cripplegate were freemen or not ? _ _ Mr. Franks said he believed a considerable num ber were freemen. Mr. Woodthorpe then begged to refer to the po pulation returns of 1821, to show that in the dis tricts adjoining Cripplegate, but out of the city, an equal proportion of uninhabited houses was to be found as in St. Giles's, Cripplegate, from which it might be inferred that it was not the expense at tendant upon the taking up of the freedom which caused the houses to be unoccupied in that parish. In the first place it appeared from these returns,that in 1821 the number of houses in St. Giles-without- Cripplegate was 1,495, one in progress of building, and 99 uninhabited, and the population was 13,038; in the Golden-lane liberty, which is im mediately adjoining St. Giles's, the number of houses inhabited was 830, uninhabited 90, in pro gress of building six, population 6,061; in the Old street liberty, which is also adjoining St. Gies's, Cripplegate, the number of houses inhabited was 769, none building, 24 uninhabited, population 6,373; in Whitecross-street Without, also adjoin ing Cripplegate, the number of inhabited houses was 652, uninhabited GI, building 31, population 4,899. Mr. Commissioner ELLIS observed that the pro portion of uninhabited houses in these districts, was certainly as large as in St. Giles's, Cripplegate. Mr. Woodthorpe said that circumstances would show that the inference which Mr. Franks wished the Commissioners to draw from the fact he had stated in his evidence was incorrect. Sir F. PALGRAVE asked Mr. Scott upon what calculation he arrived at the fact which he stated on Saturday—that the citizens of London were re lieved from a payment which would fall upon them in the shape of a county-rate to the amount of Is. 3d. or Is. 4d. in the pound on the rental ? Mr. Scott said that a calculation was made in the Chamberlain's-office a few years ago, which in volved the whole expenditure of the city for gaols, improvements, &c., to which the corporation ap plied its funds, which amounted to a sum which, compared with the rental of the city, taking it at 760,000/., would amount to Is. 3d. or Is. 4d. in the pound. _ _ _ Mr. Commissioner ELLIS, referring to the fact (stated on Saturday) that wholesale dealers were exempt from the obligation of taking up their free. dom, asked the ground of that fact. Mr. Pr itchard said, that no good ground existed for the exemption, which was unjust and unequal. Mr. Woodthorpe said it was a benefit to the city to have wholesale dealers come with their goods, but if such parties sold to non•freemen the goods would be forfeited. Mr. Pritchard said that this forfeiture was so severe a penalty that it could not well be enforced, but the corporation could establish other modes of obliging those large wholesale dealers to take on them the duties of citizenship. If they did so, they would make the principal offices held by c tizens much more in repute than they were at present. Mr. Woodthorpe, in answer to a question from a Commissioner, stated that no doubt the corpora tion could compel a banker re,itling in London to take up his freedom. His office was in strictness a banker's shop. In answer to questions from the Commissioners, Mr. Woodthorpe stated that freemen were exempt from impressment, and had the privilege of hunting in Middlesex.—(A laugh.) A freeman could not give evidence in a court of law in any case in which the corporation was a parry. In all such cases it was necessary that the freeman, should be dis franchised, and he had himself been disfranchised in order to give evidence. At four o'clock the inquiry was adjourned to Wednesday. The new member for the borough of Morpeth, the Hon. Edward George Howard, is the second surviving son of the Earl of Carlisle, and a Lieutenant in the Navy. He was recently serving on board his Majesty's ship Pelican, 18 guns, in the Mediterranean, whence he has just returned. The borough was formerly the property of the Ord family.
