MEDICAL FLOUR.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE BRITISH PRESS.

House of Correction, Cold 13ath-5415,
September 8, 1824.
1 S i a—Messrs. Hunt and Cobbett have respectively brought
their labours in reform to a happy termination so far, by
' introducing Roasted Corn and improved Straw-platt. 1
should be glad to be upsides with them, by reconlincndir.
!an article of still greater value to the public. Some four.;
I or five years ago. returning from Canada, in a state ofghii
• debility from cruel imprisonment there, I was advised b.,.
a Doctor in Scotland, to feed on !vase Irose ' • and to re,i,- 1 la
I resorted; but, coining to town soon after, lost the
opportunity of fully trying the experiment. This cmicc,,
being in Scotland, and again unwell, I had a secotif ruin
of pease brine, and was so highly pleased, that I had the
materiel sent to me here from Gliogow just in time to bate,
mv.flion's olloiedoce. For upis oral. of two months I hare
now used this diet once a day, and do most seriotts/y pry.
pose it for general use. It is light, and excellent for the
stomach and bowels ; simple, cleanly, and of most easy pre.
paration. Every morning I take three or four table-spoon,
fuls of fine pease flour; put to it, in a basin, a sufficiency
of salt ; pour over this boiling water, enough to make it of
the consistence of pudding, and immediately stir the whole
with a spool), as quick as possible, for two minutes. lit
three minutes it is ready for use, with a little milk; sod
thus, in five minutes, breakfast may be made, blasts', Ind
eaten. This has long been used by rich and poor in Giu.
gow, where the chief article is sold under the tame of
" Medical Meal." The name I have changed to that above
exhibited, because meal and flour are essentially diffacut.
Meal is coarse and ill sifted—flour the reverse.

Let me now ask grocers and dealers in Roasted Cora, who
are not jealous, to send to a flour mill a bushel of sp!it
pease, well dried, and have it ground for trial. La it be
packed up in pounds and half pounds for sale, with fine
words neatly printed on the cover—".Nledical Flour, the
best breakfast powder; recommended to the People of Eng-
land by Robert Gourlay, imprisoned at the pleasure, nil
for the pleasure, of worse than mad Ministers."
Liberal traders will not grudge to send me a moiety of
their profit for the first six months, beginning payment
out of the first two sovereigns netted; and consumers may
express gratitude in proportion to benefit recei% ed. Yoe,
Mr. Editor, will send me your paper, if you insert this. I. v
the twopenny post, or otherwise, and I shall remain thall*-
