BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH of J MES MORISON, the Hygeist,
with the reasons that lel him to the discovery of the Hygeian System
of Medicine and the V, getable Universal Medicine ( Mori. on's Pills),
after thirty-five years of inexpressible suffering under the medical
faculty :—" James Mott on, the youngest sou of Alexander Mori-
son, Esq., was born at Bognie. in the county of Aberdeen, in the
year 1770. The family has been long known as one of great a mu-
ence and respectab:lity, and the subject of this brief sketch was the
second brother of John Morison, late member for Banffshire. In
early life he studied at the University of Aberdeen, and after-
wards at llanau, in Germany, bet ag intended for the mercan-
tile profession. After finishing his studies, he resided at Riga,
as a merchant, and sub-equently in the West Indies, where
he acquired considerable Wet India property. Having suffered
much mom ill health, he was obliged to leave that country a.,,d pro-
ceed to Europe, seeking item change of clime a restoration to
health. h e cannot do better than descr be the following interesting
particulars given by himself in the Morisoniana :—" A thirty-five
years' inexpressible suffering, both of body and mind, is an event
tco, which tails but to the lot of few, if of any at all. Had it pleased
God to have called me out of this world eight years ago, I should
have died as another man, and been fo, gotten, and the world could
have reaped no benefit from my case and misfortunes nor from the
favourable effects produced by the same means on my children. This
is a guarantee to the world not often to be met with, and a convincing
proof of the motto prefixed to this advice, that HeAth and old age

MEDICAL ADVICE OOUTH AND N THE SECRET INFIRMITLES OF

DR. SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON,
Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of
Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical
Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c.
MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on
the various disorders of the nervous and generative system,
resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro-
duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema-
ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis-
eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience
in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist-
ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in
existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous
Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri-
ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their
endless modifications owe their almost entire origin.
It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are
princinles of personal management which cannot be violated without
incurring grievous penalties, and when wisaom and regret succeed
the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
may be mitigated, how the sting of their bittemess may be removed,
and how the evil and its consenuenc es may be avoided, and above all,
that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a care
DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged
In an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com-
plaints, and is the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless
of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had
the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct
attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is
tree. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply I
rewarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the
treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the
care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated
publications, assumed foreign names and. titles, and pretended virtues
of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who
have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.

not that every season
brings a fresh supply of young gentlemen wanting
" accommodation," orhousekeepers fre-
quenting auction-rooms. young Certainly the experience
of this metropolis might prepareil one for the modern
sailing Argo, the ship of fools to Australia. We
don't call a man a fool who, having a good broad
back, loins well packed with s'niew, brawny arms,
the hide of a rhinoceros, and,
this noble more than all, the
heart of a lion, cannot keep machine in

and intermitted the next ; and therefore hies off
to the diggins. If in England he

self, not to speak of wife and child, he •
is no fool
for going where sinew and bone stand a man in
more stead. No, he is the man for Australia. He is
the true lord of the golden soil. England, with its
parish allowances, its workhouses, its stone-yards,
water gruel, and Mr. Chadwick, is no place for
him. In Australia he is a moving mine of wealth,
a living nugget of gold, a rich vein of auriferous
quartz, a real crushing machine. Let him go, and
he will find his place. Only let him beware of strong
drink, whether for thirst or for pride. Let h
eschew evil company, and keep the middle of the
road as he walks through the streets of Melbourne
after nightfall. Above all, let him not be too fond
of showing his belt round his body, and his nugget
of sixty ounces in his breeches pocket. With these
and a few other cautions the Briton, be he Saxon
or Celt, may pick up enough in a few years to pur-
chase a farm or open a shop in his own country.
So also may the carpenter, the blacksmith, the
bricklayer,' and any other whose labour is manual,
and whose craft is of the useful and elementary
sort. The stout domestic servant will get on well
there. None of these are fools for going to Aus-
tralia. Who are the fools, then ? Superfluous
clerks, redundant fine gentlemen, crack-brained
scholars, neer-do-well fellows of all sorts, hypo-
chondriac milliners, poets with no readers, flunkies
with no characters, and individuals of no profession,
class, or description whatever. They are fools in
England, and they will be still worse fools in
Australia.
Let us take our modern Argonaut--some clerk or
shopman, sick of 501. a-year, threepenny busses,
half-price at the Adelphi, frock-coats in the best
style at 265. 9d., and general insignificance. Let
him beg, borrow, or steal enough to pay for
a " select berth" to Melbourne. We will not
dwell on the horrors of the middle passage,
on drunken doctors, lying-in women, rations
of beef consigned to the shars, water putrid, pas-
sengers fighting, no lights below, hatchways bat-
tened down, luggage all at the bottom of the hold,
and saturated with sea water as early as the Bay of
Biscay, insolent captains, determined roundrobbius,
Bass's ale at 2s. 6d. a bottle, and latterly not to be
got even at that price. We must pass all that, for
it is not our present topic, and we must suppose
our young Cockney, in a most venomous state of
mind, but, strange to say, in better health than he
was ever in before, in the harbour of Port Phillip,
as near as his ship will take him to Melbourne.
Then comes the tug of war, not between Greek and
Greek, but between two very unequal
belligerents.
The poor fellow longs to laud, if it is •
only that he
may snap his fingers at captain, steward, and cook,
and rush to the magistrates with some fifty distinct
:grievances. So he hails with ecstacy two or three
boats approaching the vessel. Ha •
Having often gone
from London-bridge to Westminster very expedi-
tiously and pleasantly for 2d., he has rather a
humble view of river navigation, especially in the
craft before him. To his utter disgust, he finds
that the charge for taking him and his luggage
to
Melbourne, or even to land them on the beach
almost within a stone's throw, will absorb the whole
of his capital, carefully stiched over night in the
lining of his trousers. But
his
;What
luggage !a
world of misery is contained in that word ! The
wretched man was persuaded into buyi •
ng an iron
house, Oxford-street " cradles" for sifting the
"dirt," and every thing of the most ponderous
description. Having repined all the voyage at
the enormous freight he has had to pay for this
rubbish, he now discovers that he did not know
half the extent to which he has been duped. In
the present state of his finances he must leave
his iron house on board, at the mercy of his enemy
the captain. Waiting his deliverance, he sits
down and surveys the scene before him. 'Lie
beach, which fancy had long strewn with ruddy
coral, prime sponges, seaweed of all colours, and
shells that would make a broker's fortune, is covered
inconceivable with bones, and with all sorts of re-
fuse, which he begins to smell, even through the
bilge water of his own vessel. After some days'
impatience a steamer approaches, and, at a ruinous
charge, he and his more portable goods are con-
veyed up the fabulous Yarra. The nearer he ap-
proaches the garden of the Hesperides the fouler
the breath of the dragon that guards it. The
river contracts, the paddles stir up the mud, the
banks draw nigh, and our friend, who has been
dying for ten years to escape the air of Coleman-
street, sees, hears, smells, and almost tastes and
feels, swine devouring the long entrails of slaugh-
tered cattle, nay, of slaughtered swine, horrid
mountains of garbage, shoals of festering bones,
piles of raw hides, and abominations too foul to be
named, all under a dry, hot, parching sun, that
would raise an effluvium out of the very sands of
the desert.
But this is only a foretaste of what is to follow
when our already repentant goldhunter has been
dragged in a cart ankle deep in filth from the bed
of the Yarra, and deposited, with his long-spoilt
baggage, in the dust of the unpaved roadway.
Unless it happens to be raining torrents, he sallies
forth to learn more of his fate. Wherever he turns
he finds, that if this is a land of gold, he should be
shod with gold that treads it. He ventures on a
frugal meal at a cookshop, such as in the Strand he
would pay a shilling for, with a penny to the waiter.
His bill is 12s. He resolves to look next time be-
fore he leaps, and accordingly asks a multitude o;.'
questions, with occasionally
.a civil answer, espe-
cially from companions in misery. From these he
learns that to take his goods to the diggings would
cost him 1001. for carriage. But he has heard of
horses running wild on vast plains, and has ima-
gined himself galloping onwards perpetually with
fresh steeds ever at command. Possibly in some
such way he may reach the terminus of his hopes.
Alas ! any sort of horse costs 2C31., a night's stand-
idg and food 355. ; one shoeing, 40s. ; a pound of
hay at the diggings more than twice as much as a
pound of the best brown sugar in London ; oats
31. ss. a bushel, and other things in proportion.
He sees that if he cannot walk to the diggings, and
carry all his worldly wealth on his back, he must
stay at Melbourne for the present. But there
matters are equally unpromising. He sees a shop,
such as in London would be found in a third-rate
street, and is told that its building cost 20,0001.,
and that every brick used in the city is computed
to cost sd. As to food, he finds himself in the
midst of a famine, that is, to one of his scanty
means. Pastoral Australia is not a land of milk
and honey. The former of these articles is precious
as liquid silver. A gentleman, we are told, finds
his milk bill equal to his whole annual expenditure
a few years ago. The fortunate diggers will not
only give any price for what they want, but will
use twice as much as what they want in mere bra-
vado. What is our poor Cockney to do in a state
of society in which "navvies" are the million-
naires ? There is only one consolation. So long
as he wears his shabby-genteel London coat , looks
hungry and sober, and might be mistaken for a
Cambridge wrangler or a country curate, he is safe
from molestation. He has no zone of gold, no
rich pocket of nuggets, and is not worth murder.
As for occupation, he must gradually settle into
something that he never expected. Were he a
mason, or a carpenter, he could get his 8/. a week,
with board and lodging. Could he carry 2 cwt.
on his shoulders, he might follow with advantage
the advice that Samuel Johnson received from the
first publisher he applied to. Were he a common
labourer he could get his 10s. or 14s. a day ; but
he pretends to be a gentleman, wears gloves, a
long-tailed coat, and a pretence of clean linen—
though washing at 120. a dozen soon drives him'

out of that ; so he is glad to get a situation at
driving a cart, or watching a store in the absence
of the owner, or touting for a ginshop, or anything
rather than starve.
As for the digging, they are out of the question
to all such spoilt mortals as are here described.
Few people know how common is the case of the
unjust steward, who said to himself, " I cannot
dig, to beg I am ashamed ;" for very few, with
the degree of refinement supposed in the parable,
can dig without excessive fatigue and injury to the
constitution. Gardeners, it is commonly said in
the country, are not long-lived. The spade, the
pick, and the hoe try the muscles of the chest,
compel stooping, induce great heats, and render
the frame all the more liable to chills. Miners are
not a long-lived race, and as for " navvies," who
knows how they live—when, or where, or how
they die ? They appear when wanted, and disap-
pear when the railway is opened, like swallows at
the approach of winter. These are the nearest
approximations to the work of the digger :
He toils all day under a burning sun, often
up to his middle in a mountain stream, or at
the bottom of a pit, constantly throwing the earth
over his head, or baling out the water. The pit
becomes a shaft, sometimes 60 or even 100 feet
deep, then comes the work of driving low galleries
right through the precious vein, constructing
timber sides and props, dragging trays of auriferous
earth, pulling it to the top by the windlass, and
carrying it in baskets over the head or on the
shoulders to the river three miles off. Sometimes
these tremendous efforts are rewarded with prizes,
sometimes with blanks, more generally with ague
and fever, and not unfrequently with the bullet
and tr3l. knife. What a reality to wake to after
dreams of gold ! Better be roused, not entirely
refreshed, but still capable of work, to hear the
chimes of St. Giles's, Cripplegate, call to breakfast
and the counter. No. This will never do for the
born and bred Londoner. It is a new world, and
requires new men. It requires stouter frames and
somewhat ruder hands than mere civilisation will
produce. Happily the hardy sons of toil are still
abundant among us, and Australia is the country
for them.
