"To Messrs. Morison, Moat, and Co.

" Gentlemen,—Having received a letter from Captain
Langley, of the trading vessel Joseph, of this port, who
lately arrived at Hull from Riga, I transmit you a copy,
which you will feel to be your duty to publish to all the
world.

" 4 Dear Friend,—Respecting the Universal Medicines
of the British College of Health, which you so fortunately
provided me with at Sunderland, I have every reason to
believe, and, indeed, I am convinced that they were the
means of preserving my own life as well as some hundreds
more at Riga, a great many of which I was an eye wit-
ness to.

" ' On my first arrival at Riga, I commenced taking
the Pills as a preventative, or preparation for the attack, to
stay its violence if assailed ; by which means a free passage
through the body prevented the infectious air from pro-
ducing that fatal cramp in the stomach and limbs which
has caused the death of thousands. On the 28th of May,
however, I was most violently seized with that dreadful
disorder, and for the first lour hours was in a deplorable
state, but, thank God, from the precautions I had used, the
noxious air passed through my body, with very slight at-
tacks of the cramp, and a few strung doses of the Univer-
sals soon restored me to health. All my men (except one
who was too timid to take the Pills with sufficient strength,
from the fear of being too violently purged, who died in a
few hours), took the Pills night and morning, and were
saved.

" "ro satisfy the poor fellow who died I got him some
medicine on shore, but it took no effect in the least, as he
ceased to exist soln after, first becoming cold as a lump of
ice and of a dark blue colour; 1. cannot think the Cholera
infectious or contagious from the touch, as none of us were
affected from handling the corpse.
'" I left Riga on the Sth of June, and got down to
Bauldra the sanie day, all well, but on the 10th the mate
and a boy were both taken ill with this dreadful di.ease,
and, for six days, were in a distressing state, but with a
close and powerful application of the Pills, were restored
to full health."

" lam happy to say I have every reason to believe that
this Medicine alone is all-sufficient to stop the ravages of
this dread evil, but that its powers are best applied at an
early stage, or a preparative.
" ' The vsiue of the Medicine was in the highest estit4a-
tion at Riga, and great lamentations were trade at the scanty
supply that could be obtained from me and the rest of the
vessels who bad supplies from you. Had I had 100/.
worth more I could have sold them all, even to the French
doctors that were there.'

" The whole of the letters that have come to Sunderland
from those ves-els which had supplies of the Medici:lra
out, speak with the same raptures of their efficacy.
"1 remain, Gentlemen, your humble servant,
" MICHAEL GARDNER.
