FABLES for the FANCIFUL.—No.
CECILIA AND TIIE TULIP.
Amid the garden's peaceful shade,
At evening's tranquil hour,
Cecilia, meditating, strayed,
And in her leafy progress stayed,
To pluck a beauteous flower.
" Fair lady," (quoth the chosen bloom,
When taken from its stem)
" Those roses have a rich perfume—
'Why take a tulip from the loom,
Instead of one of them ?"

Cecilia smiled, and thus addressed
The golden-petalled flower :
Fair bloom, it WAS thy beauteous crest.
Which made me choose thee from the rest,
That blossom in the bower.

" Flora has clothed thee with attire,
Which few but thee assume ;
And 'tis this dress which ranks the higher,
However much I may admire •
The rose's scented bloom."
APPLICATION.
I heard—and smile not oN hen I say
I thought of Moses' Mart,
Where fashion's flower=, in choice display,
Attract admirers, day by day,
From many a distant part.
This splendid suit, by Moses made,
Has won Cecilia's smile ;
She thinks the beauty nere displayed,
Casts every other in the shade,
In point of make and style.
Had it not been for M. and Son,
She might have passed me by ;
But dress like this, excelled be none,
• Has, like the tulip's beauty, won
Cecilia's judging eye.

IMPORTANT CASE.

requiring the nicest discrimination and accuracy in its
preparation—and there are medicines, gentlemen, as the
records of coroners' inquests too fatally make known to
us, in which the turn of a scale, or the measuring of
a half drop make the difference between health and
death--what security have we, I ask you, if such as I
now complain of be the practice of druggists 1 What
security have we—the ignorant confiding publie—inys-
tifsed by the Latin of the prescription, and bamboozled
by the mysterious importance of the surgeon-druggist—
thai, he will not make up this carefully-obtained pre-
scription, on which the life of' the bread-gainer of a
large family may depend, totally different from the
purpose and intention of the able physician who wrote
it, and administer to us some drastic sulphate, or bitter
nauseating salt like this, instead of a tasteless, inodorous,
and innocently refreshing medicine, like Murray's fluid
magnesia, or any other proper ingredient, legibly written
in our prescription ? This, then, is why I am here.
This is why I have left my home and my business to
follow up this matter in London. It is a public question,
gentlemen, and the public, in my humble person, seek
justice and redress and safety for the future at your
hands. I can have no personal motive, gentlemen; God
forbid that I should bear malice. Mr. Milford caused
me a fearful griping; I have to thank him that he let
me off so easily. It is for you, gentlemen, by your ver-
dict this day, to read to him and the medical profession
a wholesome lesson fur their future guidance. I have
but one witness here, whom I shall at once call,
Mr. Griffiths then called Mr. Henry Gibbons, oil and
grease manufacturer, of Wolverhampton, to prove the
damage and loss occasioned to the plaintiff by his absence
from business, and the necessary stoppage of his works
from the want of his personal superintendence. Mr. Gibbons showed clearly that the plaintiff's works, viz.,
the North Western Works, were very extensive, and f
a nature to render the presence of the principal abso-
lutely necessary. Mr. Gibbon: also proved the amount
of damage claimed by the plaintiff to be fairly estimate-d.
Mr. Griffiths was then sworn to his statement, which
he repeated in evidence.
Cross-examined by Mr. MxLLOR, who attended as
counsel for the defendant—Pray, Mr. Griffiths, had you
been dining on the day you dropped in at Mr. Walford's?
I had taken a little rice pudding only, as I felt ill.—Will
you swear you had not eaten mutton and turnips? I
I certainly had not.—And that you did not tell Mr. Wal-
ford that you had eaten mutters and turnips, and that
they had disagreed with you? I told Mr. Walford that
I had a violent pain in the head; that I was liable to
irretibility of the stomach; and I might have told him
that I had dined the previous day on mutton and turnips,
but not on that day certainly.— Well now, when you
went into Mr. Walford's shop did you not ask for some
advice? No! there was no one there but the apprentice
boy, and I should not have, asked a boy for advice.—But
when Mr. Walford came in, you complained of your
head and asked his advice, did you not? No; I said I
should like a dose of Sir James Murray's fluid magnesia
and a calomel pill.—Oh, you prescribed for yourself a
calomel pill? Yes, I prescribed for myself a calomel pill.
—And did you take the pill? No, not from Mr. Walford.
—Now, Mr. Griffiths, may I ask you why you take this
Murray's fluid magnesia, of which you seem so great an
admirer? Because for some years past I have known it
as a safe and certain reme,ly for all complaints of the
stomach and bowels; and more than that, I consider it as
a preservative against cholera; I am going to take some now.
[Here, much to the amusement of the court, Mr. Grit-
nths opened the bottle of Sir James Murray's fluid mag-
nesia, with which he was provided as part of his evi-
dence, and pouring a little of it, with some acid syrup,
into a glass, manufactured for himself a beverage, the
effervescence of which excited a sensation of envy in the
whole court.] —Now, will you swear that you did not
ask Mr. Watford's advice? I will swear that I tolo him
that I had a violent headache, and that I wished for a
dose of Murray's fluid magnesia and a calomel pill.---And
you did nut ask him to prescribe for you? I did not.
—After strongly pressing the plaintiff again on the ap
parently important point of mutton and turnips, Mr.
Mellor cl lied his cross examination by asking, when you
saw Mr. Waltord pour the mixture out of so large a
bottle, did you nit know at once it was not Murray's
tluid magnesia, as that is in small bottles only, such as
the one you have before you? I had no reason to think
so; for I know Murray's fluid magnesia to be supplied to
:he trade in bottles of that very siz • for dispensing.—You
seem to know a great deal about this fluid magnesia? I
ought to do so, as I am an operative chemist myself, and
more than that, I owe my health to it.—Pray, Mr. Grif-
tiihs, have you any interest in this medicine? None
whatever.
Mr. MELLOR then addressed the jury for the de-
fendant. He considered this one of the most extraordi-
nary cases that ever came before a court of justice; and,
were it possible for the plaintiff to obtain a verdict, no
me,licel man, for the future, could be safe in prescribing
fur a patient; and here it would be necessary for him to
remind the jury of a specious and ingenieus attempt on
the part of the plaintiff to beguile their sympathies by a
philanthropic clap trap, viz.—that of giving the damages
to the South Staffordshire Hospital. This was cheap
charity on the part of Mr. Griffiths, as the money was to
come out of the pocket of his client, Mr. Walford. Mt.
Griffi!hs claimed damages from his client, which the
jury could out concede; besides which they must con-
sider the serious effects and consevenees which a ver-
dict for the, plaintiff, if only for a shilling., would entail
upon Mr. Walford, whom the plaintiff admitted was a
highly rempectsblo young 'non. Ile was ri,t there to
impugn the motive s of Mr. Griffiths, who hail c,-r.
(airily conducted his case ie a most able and gentle
manly manner; but the plaintiff was totally without a
case. What were the facts? He goes into a doctor's
sup; he states he is ill; he asks for a lvice; he
takes the medicine ; then cries out " Oh, you have given
me Epsom salts ;" becomes angry and excited ;
rushes off to another chemist arid druggist ; buys more
medicine there, and takes it ; goes h retires to bed,
feels a natural consequence of Epsom salts and calomel
pills ; and, most ungratefully, as soon as he is up and
better, goes into the druggist's shop and says he shall
bring an action against him. An action 1 For what ?
We have cause and effect—illness and physic. But Mr.
Griffiths, who justly describes himself as irritable,
wishes to subvert the usual order of things, and turn
them to physic and illness. But what caused his illness?
Was it the mutton and the turnips ?—for he was pre-
pared to prove that Mr. Griffiths told Mr. Walford that
he had dined that day on mutton and turnips—or was it
the calomel pill, or the Epson] salts, or the fluid magnesia,
or all altogether ? Would he have been just as ill with-
out the Epsom salts, or did he get better through them?
The jury would see at a glance what an idle case this
was to trouble the court with, and bring so many
respectable practitioners away from their ordinary occu-
pations. He was prepared to contend, that the medicine
administered by Mr. Walford was a proper one. It was
not Epsom salts, but bicarbonate of magnesia, a prepa-
ration in which Epsom salts only entered for a small part,
and in which their effects were neutralised. To prove
this he should call an eminent medical gentleman, a
professor of chemistry, whose evidence he had no doubt
would be sufficient to ensure a verdict tor the defendant.
Mr. Lloyd, surgeon, of Jewin-street, spoke as to the
efficacy of the bicarbonate of magnesia, and as to its
being a mixture such as he would have prescribed for a
person in Mr. Griffiths's state.
Cross-ex-amined by Mr. GRIFFITHS—How long have
you been in practice, Mr. Lloyd? Twenty-five years.—
As a surgeon? Yes.—l think you stated in your exa-
mination that the mixture referred to was very similar
in its properties to fluid magnesia? I did so.—Was
there any Epsom salts in that mixture? There was.—
But excuse me, Mr. Lloyd, are you accustomed to pro-
scribe Epsom salts fur an inflammatorr

did you see m© on th it occasion? o.— what
did you obtain the diagnosis of my disease? From Mr.
Walford.—Are you not aware that hearsay evidence
cannot be received in a court of law? And you knew
nothing of my complaint except what Mr. Walford told
you. Are you accustomed to prescribe for your patients
without seeing them? Certainly not.—Then I appre-
hend, Mr. Lloyd, my case was an exception, not the rule
of your practice? Mr. Lloyd then, in a very talented
manner, answered the chemical questions of Mr. Grif-
fiths, as to the composition of the mixture administered
to him by Mr. Waltord, and after giving a clear analysis
of the same, stated that the chemical combination yielded
a product very similar in its properties to fluid magnesia.
Mr. Griffiths stongly pressed him as to Epsom salts
(sulphate of magnesia) being one of the components,
which Mr. Lloyd acknowledged, but contended that their
action was neutralized. Mr. Griffiths observed that he
did not see how that could be, as in Mr. Waltord's mix-
ture there remained the taste and the griping effects of
these drastic salts.
Mr. Wilford, of 149, Alderagate-street, stated that he
was a partner in the firm of Lunn and Walford, Mr.
Lunn not being his partner as a surgeon, but simply as
a chemist and druggist. He is himself a surgeon, Mr.
Lunn only makes the preparations. He recollected the
plaintiff coming to his shop. He was out at the time and
just returning from visiting a patient, when he mot Mr.
Griffiths coming out of the shop. He re-entered with
him. The apprentice said that the gentleman wanted
some advice. Mr. Griffiths complained of flAtudle

patients what he gave them; as otherwise they might
doctor themselves, and do mischief, by an injudicious
use of proper medicines on improper occasions. That
was the common sense of the mystery of medicine. Mr.
Griffiths was very angry, and, in an excited manner,
said ho did not care for him, to which he replied that he
did not care for Mr. Griffiths, and took his money and
left him.

REPORT OF A TRIAL WHICH TOOK PLACE AT
THE GUILDHALL COUNTY COURT, LONDON, ON
FRIDAY, JULY 13, 1849.
THE PUBLIC AND MEDICAL MEN,
GRIFFITHS V. WALFORD.
- -

This case, which, from the crowded state of the court,
and the large attendauce of medical practitioners, ap-
pears to have excited great interest in the medical world,
cline on for trial on Friday. the 13th ult., before Mr.
Bullock, in the Guildhall County Court, London. As
the case seems to involve a point of great importance
between the public, the medical profession, and drug-
gists, we think it right to place it ht fore our readers at
some length.
The plaintiff, Mr. Samuel Griffiths, oil merchant, of
Wolverhampton, said that he felt himself in a peculiarly
embarrassed position—in the first place, owing to the
unavoidable absence of the Learned Counsel who was ex-
pected to conduct his case; and secondly, because of his
inexperience in matters of this kind, and the difficulties
that would naturally present themselves in proving his
case, in the absence of the assistant °Messrs. Butler, end of
two other witnesses. Nevertheless, if his Honour would
permit him, he felt so much confidence in the merits of the
case, and so satisfied was he that the jury and nis Honour
would patiently listen to the facts, and appreciate the
motives which brought him into that Court, that he
preferred going at once into the case himself, relying
entirely upon its merits, and regardless of the adverse
circumstances connected with his position in respect
to it that day. The facts, as alleged in
the plaint, were these—that on Sunday, the Ist of
April last, while in London on business, he felt himself
taken ill with a violent irritability of the stomach, to
which he was subject; and that being somewhat nervous
about it, especially ae.he knew the cholera to be in Lon •
don, he determined to lose no time in adopting the re-
medy which, in such cases, he had invariably found be-
neficial to himself and his family, viz.—a dose of Sir
James Murray's fluid magnesia. He therefore went
into a chemist and druggist's shop—that of the defend-
ants, Messrs. Lunn and Watford, 149, Aldersgate-street,
to procure it. Seeing, however, that there was only an
apprentice boy in the shop, he was on the point of leav-
ing. when Mr. Walford came in. He immediately asked
him for a doss of Murray's fluid magnesia, and a four-
grain calomel pill. Mr. Watford, after putting one or
two unimportant questions, and volunteering some advice
and medicine of his own mixing, proceeded, as Mr.
Griffiths supposed, to execute the order he had given
him, and poured out from a bottle, which he had taken
down, a dose of what Mr. Griffiths presumed was fluid
magnesia. He noticed, however, the turbid appearance
of the mixture, as contrasted with the clear and brilliant
appearance usually presented by Sir James Murray's
fluid magnesia, and observed to Mr. Watford—
" Are you sure there is no mistake? I see some
crystals in the bottle; this is not usual." " Oh,"
was Mr. Walford's reply, "it is all right, sir—
lam a surgeon." On the faith of this assurance
and in full reliance on Mr. Walford as a surgeon, " I
swallowed the draught," said Mr. Griffiths, with a
qualmish grimace at the recollection, and momentarily
exclaimed, " you have given me Epsom salts, sir! You
have done me an injury you can never compensate!" for
he must inform the jury that he had the greatest horror
of Epsom salts; the drastic effects of which invariably
increased the irritability of stomach to which he was
liable, and excited inflammatory symptoms, to avoid
which was the very reason he was in the habit of taking
Murray's fluid magnesia. " Will you take your pill
now, sir?" asked Mr. Watford. " No, sir," replied Mr.
Griffiths, angrily, " I wish you had given me what I
asked you fur, sir. I wanted magnesia—fluid magnesia
—not Epsom salts." " What! are you not aware," was
Me. Walfurd's reply, " that Epsom salts are magnesia?
Will you take your pill, sir?" The plaintiff then
angrily and peremptorily retused to take any more
medicine of Mr. Walford's making, who then became
excited in his turn, and reiterated several times that he
was a surgeon. Being now seizsct with violent head-
ache and nausea, the plaintiff hurried off to Messrs.
Butler and Co., St. Paul's Churchyard, where he
mentioned the circumstances, and procured s
'male of Sir James Murray's fluid magnesia
and a calomel pill. On reaching his hotel, the action
of the salts had evidently increased his malady,
superinducing colic pains in the stomach, and great nor
vous excitement in the gastric region. In this condition
he remained, purged and vomiting all that night and the
next day, when, as soon as he could crawl out, he pro-.
ceeded to Messrs. Lunn and Waltord's shop, in Alders-
gate street, to remonstrate with Mr. Milford on thy
matter, and to demand an apology. He found, however,
that, instead of apologising, that gentleman took higs
Around, and seemed to think that he had done quite
right—whereupon Mr. Griffiths declined any further
explanation, as offer,'d by Mr. Watford, and told him he
would seek reparation in a court efjustice. " Now, gen-
tlemen." said Mr. Griffiths, addressing himself to the
iury, " it is for this injury that I seek redress at your
hands. Bslieve me, it is not wish me a question ot
amount of (images." I am compelled, as a means ot
bringing the matter before the Court, to claim certain
!images, and I have therefore estimated tt,e steppage of
my works, my compulsory delay in London, and conse-
quent loss, at a definite amount; but I care not what you
ovo me, it you give me a vurdiet—the darnag,,, what
ever they may be, I shall present to the South Staf-
tordshire Hospital, at Wolverhampton. My ofij.ci
,s the vindication of this important principle—
that if you, or I, or any one, go into a druggist's shop,
and ask for some particular medicine—that drogeist—
or surgeon in attendance in his shop—shall not be at
liberty to substitute another, either because he has not
;ot the one we ask for, or does not choose to sell it ; or
lesires to sell something else, by which he makes a
targer profit; or has the vanity or the presumption to
hunk he knows better than his customer what is good
for him. This latter may be very true, gentlemen, and
I duke fay Mr. Watford, who is a highly respectable
man, thcught so, too, in my case; but, gentlemen, " at
orty," says the proverb,—l believe, by the bye, it is an
axiom of the great Paracelsus—" every man is either a
tool or a physician;" and when I went to Mr. Walford's
shop to purchase my own prescription for myself,—Sir
James Murray's fluid magnesia,—l did not intend to
take Epsom salts, because Mr. Walford might think
them better for me. I knew what was best for myself; I
knew why I wanted Murray's fluid magnesia; I knew
that it had been our domestic remedy at home for my
family ever since accident had made me acquainted with
its virtues. I wanted the irritability in my stomach
allayed, not excited; I wanted the gastric region soothed,
not excoriated. I have a great repugnance and horror
of any and every kind of medicine, more especially
senna, or Epsom salts. The medicine I asked fbr was
perfectly tasteless, and comparatively agreeable, while
Epsom salts are exceedingly bitter, and have a pecu
iarly offensive and nauseating taste; besides which, it
is a drastic neutral salt, in no way adapted to the de-
sangement of stomach under which I was labouring;
whereas Murray's fluid magnesia is an antacid and
esreeable remedy, admirably adapted to neutralise the
-cetous secretions in the stomach, the primum mobile of
he disease from which I was suffering. Again, it is
field magnesia that I always take for analogous symp-
urns—it was this that I went for; that I asked for;
oid, instead of which, Mr. Watford gave me Epsom
alts! He said Epsom salts were magnesia. Ot course
hey are, gentlemen, bat magnesia in what form? Here
s the Pharmacopoeia, the standard authority of the pro-
ession, which your Lordship doubtless knows well.—
[Judge, with a shudder, " Oh, no, no!"]—(Laughter.)
~Nell, what does this Pharmacopoeia say ? First, let us
read the description of what I wauted—the carbonate of
:nignksii in the fluid state, as prepared by Sir
James Murray—" Carbonate of magnesia, when pure
is colourless, inodorous, tasteless." Now let us look at
the sulphate of magneiss, (that is, Epsom salty, which
Mr. Walford substituted)—"Sulphate of magneisa is an
,-xceedingly bitter salt." Did I want a bitter salt, gen-
Jemen? If I did, I should have asked for it. Wha

right had Mr. IValford to administer it to me? Am I,

or is any man, to be dosed, and nauseated, and griped at
tie will of a medical man and a4ainst his own? Let us
look at the composition of these Epsom salts; what is
the first element, " forty parts of sulphuric acid!" Did
I want sulphuric acid, or any combination of it—l with
In irritable stomach? Gentlemen, persona who are sub-
ject to this affhc ion know it to be a fearful complaint,
And it is a God-send when a man finds out what will

Ji II ay this dreadful sensation. I have found that God'
send in Sir James Murray's fluid magneisa, and for this
I applied to Mr. Walford, and Mr. Walford gave me
Epsom salts. Now, gentlemen, you are well aware that
if a baker is detected mixing alum, gypsum, or other
deleterious substances with his bread, the law at once takes
cognizance of the offence; the defrauder is by that law
severely punished; and the man, whoever he may be,
whether wealthy or otherwise, withers before the effect of
public opinion, and never shows himself again in the town
where, before, he might, for aught I know, have filled
the most important public situations. The same penalties
would be awarded against the grocer for mixing his
sugar; the brewer for doctoring his ales; or the wine
merchant tor substituting his own logwood mixture for
the generous Oporto juice. Shall it, then, be said that
in the professions, especially in the one where so much

confidence is necessarily pi-teed; where every msn de-
livers himself blindfold tu his ignorance, bound hand and
foot by the mystery in which medicine is perpetually
kept, into the hands of his druggist or his doctor—shall,
then, I say, be allowed to gentlemen of this profession
the power of fraudulent substitution which is denied to

all trades? You see, at once, the importance of this
question, the high importance of the principle I come
here to vindicate. To some constitutions particular
medicines, as we all know, are most dangerous. For
myself, I have a horror of senna and Epsom salts. I
happen also to know a gentleman, at this moment en•

gaged in a house at Wolverhampton, who is so sensitive
to the effects of ipecacuanha, that if a cork were only
taken out of a bottle, and only one pound of the
powdered drug weighed upon the scale, although it
might be in a distant part of the warehouse, it would
affect his stomach to such an extent, that he would be
obliged to leave the office, and be rendered unfit for
business during the whole day. The effect of Epsom
salts upon m; self is precisely the same, though
perhaps not in degree. Why, then, should I be, made
to take them by Mr. Walford or any other man ? What
safety is there, to any of us, that a prescription, ob-
tained at a great expense, and in the crisis, it may be,
of soma fatal disorder, from some eminent physioin,

Cross-examined by Air. GRIFFITHS—The mixture he
gave was not Epsom salts, but was composed of bicar-
bonate of potass and sulphatei of magnesia; sulphate of
maguesia was Epsom salts, but they became neutralized
in that mixture, which then became bicarbonate of mag-
