NEA.RLY 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
mill 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 HEALTLI
liamilton-place Ncw-road, London.
' The principles of the HYGEIAN or MOAISONIAN SYSTEM are
contained 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 impurity of the blood, or, in other words,
from acrimolious 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
sofasCOMPUND, capable of
being digested, and mixing with the blood, 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.

By SAMUEL LA'afERT. M.D.
37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON,
Dcctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin-
burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society,
Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London. &c., &c.
The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearffil
consequences resulting 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
adopted 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 ono of the few
regally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un-
divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short,
every peculiarity 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
and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient
guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care
will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and
Inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of those
cases.
