/(ORISON . and HYGEISM.—Thirty years
ago the great Hygeist propounded to the woad a theory of
disease, little then known and understood. Ills theory was scoffed
- -it is now admitted to be true .y maiiy of the leadine medical'
writers of the age. Not a voice is TIOW Ii ted against disease o'igi-,
nating in the blood ! The Hygeist discovered that blood could be
purified to an extent hitherto unknown, and with a safety as striking
as it is t-ue and extraordinary. He made this discovery with his
own medicine, and -raved hi' theory by its efficacy and suitability
to all diseases ; or. rather one disease. exhibiting many diversified
forms. One cause, corrupted blood; one cure, purgation, by which
all ailments disappear, because the Woo' originating these al-
ments Is purified. This is a simple, beautiful, harmoniona
demonstrated system. No poisons warring' with and depressing;
the powers of life, even to death. No lancets to wi.hdraw the vital
stream, and h .rry the victimised to the grave. No fees for doing
too often much fatal mischief to human kind—practices hat
ter
happily discarded by all Hygeists. Nottingbut a safe apernt
medicine, which a little expert. nce and written instructions can
enable any one to administer, and which results m at simply and
naturally In the alleviation and cure of disease. Let the ignorant
and prejudiced laugh it they may at this rational system, it is not on
that account the less round, successful, invaluable, and curative. A
multitude of cures obtained from the cured testifying to the
truth of Morison's system and medicine, have been in the hands
of agents, a portion of which may always be seen at their
homes. From our own knowledge of patent medicines, we
may safely assert that the consumption of them has increased ten-
fold in this country since Mr. Morison promulgated his system.
Pills, under new names, are starting day after day. t'an there be a
stronger proof of the truth of the Morisonian system than the fact
that such venders, in order to popularise their pills, describe them
as being of a purgative quality, and embody in their advertisements
(with which the public press is now teeming), scraps from the Mori-
soniana ? A question then arises for the serious consideration cf the
public, whether the vendors strictly adhere to the Moriaonian sys-
tem in its integrity, and whether they are in possession of a medi,
tine which will of
answer the main purpose, that of cleansing
the blood? •

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities and excesses,

other class of disease known to modern pathologists Its perusal is
particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their physical condition, and he are conscious of having hazarded
the health, happiness, anu prlw
Vllegee to which every human being is
entitled.
it is absolutely necessary that all men Should know, that there are
principles of personal management which cannot be violated without
incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
and how the evil and its con,equenc 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 cure.
The Author has for a series of years been engaged In an extensive
practice in the treatment Of these delicate complaints, which are
