PEOPLE of ENGLAND.—The Petition against
the medicinal use of deadly chemical preparations, signed by
upwards of 2'1,700 of the people, was presented to the house of COm•
mons on Tuesday. the 15th day of June, 1847. Let this Petition be
a record and protest against the organic theory of Doctors, which,
for profit, sanctions the use of such deadly preparations medicinally.
Let it also be a record and protest against all arbitrary enactments
which tendlo perpetuate styli a fulse and scandalous theory on man-
kind ; but, above all, let it operate as a warning to all Ministers and
other persons in power as to how they interfere with the sacred
medical liberty of the subject, in order to prop a sinking profession.
People of England ! this Petition is the greatest triumph of Hygeists ;
it is a decisive sign that the people are commencing to deliver them-
selves from the errors of an Ito crested Medical Faculty ; it shows
that they are beginning to think on this all-important question. Let
interested parties now try to pass arbitrary Medical Laws—posterity
will know how to appreciate their motives. The British College of
Health consider this Petition so important, that a copy of it, with
the 21,700 names attached, has been preserved as a lasting record, to
go down to future generations. All the Hygeian Agents throughout
the world are hereby r quested to give it the most extensive pub-
licity.—Dated this 18th
Bday of June. A D. 1847.

The Medical Bills now before the Houses of Parliament In Eng-
land and France arc mere attempts, by low Doctors, to establish a
Medical Inquisition, and to keep the people under their thumbs.

LON DON, MON DAY IVIORNINti SUN,

The votes for the amendment were even-16 to 16 ;
but the Chairman considered it his duty to -vote for it, u
he was anxious that every inquiry should be made ; be
considered it, however, tantamount to a vote of censure.
The amendment was accordingly
carried, and the
meeting separated at half-past three o'clock. after a
substantive motion had been carried, directing that the
accounts, when made out, should be printed and circu-
lated amongst the shareholders.
