CHOLERA MORBUS CURED BY MORISON S
UNIVERSAL MEDICINES ONLY.

THE President and the Board of the Bri-
tish College of Health, New-road, King's Cross,
London, on referring the British Public to their former
statement of the undoubted success of the Universal Medi-
cines in stopping the ravages of the Cholera Morbus in
the Baltic, as given, verbatim, from Mr. M. Gardner,
their general Agent for the County of Durham, (who had
►upplied several Baltic vessels with the Medicine), beg
leave to lay before the Public another letter, received this
day from the same gentleman, containing a still more cor-
roborative proof of their full efficiency on this devastating
scourge :

"To Mesirs. Morison, Moat. and Co.

" Gentlemen,—Hiving 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.

" ' Dear Friend,—Respecting the Universal Medicines
of the British CoHere 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 front 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 four hours was in a deplorable
state, but, thank God, from the precautions 1 had used, the
noxious air passed through my body, with very slight at-
tacks of the cramp, and a few strong doses of theklniver-
sale 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.

" ' To satisfy the poor fellow who died I got him some
medicine on shore, but it took no effect in the leaftt, as he
ceased to exist soon after, first becoming cold as a lump of
ice and of a daik blue colour; I 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 Bth of June, and got down to
Bauldra the same day, all well, but on the 10th the mate
and a boy were both taken ill with this dreadful disease,
and, for six days, were in a distressing state, but with a
close and powerful application of the Pills, were restored
to full health."

" ' I am 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 appliad at an
early stage, or as a 2..:eparatir•
ihe value of the Medicine was in the highest estima-
tion at Riga, and great lamentations were made at the scanty
'ripply that ceuld be obtained from me and the rest of the
vessels who had supplies from you. Had I had 100/.
worth more I could have sold them all, even to the Vreneh
docters that were there.'

" The who of the letters that have come to Sunderland
from those vessels which had supplies of the Medicines
out, speak with the same raptures of their efficacy.
"1 remain, Gentlemen, your humble servant,
" MICHAEL GARDNER.
