NEARLY HALF the ADULT POPULATION
of Great Britain could bear testimony to the agreeable influ-
ence and curative powers of PARR'S LIFE PILLS ; and cheerful-
ness being "the health of virtue," to possess it is to advance a great
step in happiness, comfort, and bodily ease. He who has not tested
the efficacy of these admirable Pills, has neglected an essential incen-
tive to health and happiness.
They are found, after giving them a fair trial for a few weeks, to
possess the most astonishing and invigorating properties ; and they
ill overcome all obstinate complaints, and restore sound health.
Their mildness as a purgative is a desideratum greatly required by
the weak and delicate.

BRITISH COLLEGE of HEALTH
Hamilton-place New-road, London.
The principles of the HYGEIAN or MORISONIAN SYSTEM are
eon' lined in the following propositions :-
1. The vital principle is in the blood.
2. Everything in the body is derived from the blood.
3. All constitutions are radically the same.
4. All diseases arise from imparity of the blood, or, in other words,
from acrimonious humours lodged in the body.
5. Pain and disease have the same origin ; and may therefore be
considered synonymous.
6. From the intimate connexion subsisting
between mind and
body, the health of one must conduce to the serenity of the other.
7. Proper Purgation by Vegetables is the only effectual mode of
eradicating disease.
8. The discovery of a VEGETABLE COMPOUND, capable of
being digested, and mixing with the blood, ao as to impart to it
the energy requisite for ridding the body of all impurities, was a
desideratum.
9. This discovery was made by JAMES MORISON, the Hygeist,
in the composition of the VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL MEDICINE
(Morison's Pills) of the British College of Health, Hamilton-place,
New-road, London.

D,otlr of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin-
burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society,
Licentiate of Ap. `lecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c.
The essential act of this treatise is to point out the leaded
consequences roe ...ng from irregularities and excesses, which
have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment
elopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated
schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe.
The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under
the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few
.egally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un-
divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short,
every peculivity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental
to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and
ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation
of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical
end academic hoaouts at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient
guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care
will, in every inatance, meet with that delicate consideration and
inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these

CHRISTMAS PREPARATIONS.
ON all hands arrangements are making to
celebrate the anniversary of Christmas. To create novelty
for a festivity so ancient requires 81MC de3ree of ingenuity,
re and
than
to
introduce fresh sources of comfort and enjoyment claims mo
ordlnary talent. For a great number of years novelties in Dress
have been an important item in Christmas preparations. What,
then, must be the amount of skill possessed by those artists whose
introductions are new on each recurrence of this festivity? It is those
only whose success has long been the admiration of all classes, and
nd
whose seasonable productions have gained lasting celebrity, who
provide articles of ATTIRE worthy of universal patronage. The
DRESS prepared for Christmas by E. MOSES and SON embraces
variety, surpassing all attempts at imitation, and exhibits novelties
which only the first Tailoring Establishments in the universe can
device. To maintain this distinction, E. MOSES and SON'S Christ-
mas Preparations present ATTIRE for ADULTS and JUVENILES
in the widest range of taste, the nucleus of their most celebrated
style s, DRESS for Ckristmas parties, the most splendid materials
and the neatest workmanship. OVERCOATS and WATERPROOF
CLOTHING in the most gentlemanly and comfortable styles.
HATS, CAPS, and HOSIERY, unequalled for qualily and beauty,
and all Goods charged considerably lower prices than at any
other house.
N.B.—Chris tmas eve being Friday, E. MOSES arid SON'S Esta-
blishments will be closed at half-past four o'clock.
TO EMIGRANTS.

An requisite Goods and Clothing called an OUTFIT, or the best
opportunity for selecting to the largest or smallest amount, is afforded
to all Emigrants, at the Outfitting Establishment of E. MOSES and
SON, where Outfits for Officers in the Army or Navy, for Profes-
sional Gentlemen, Mechanics, or Gold Diggers, may be obtained, not
only with greater convenience and dispatch. but better in quality,
and cheaper, than they can be had elsewhere. Ship sailing infor-
mation and full Lists of Outfits may be had on application, or oat
free. A separate department is appropriated to Outfitting.
CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the
public against imposition, having learned that the untradesmanlike
falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's
the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for
obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have
