'BRITISH COLLEGE of HEALTH, New-
road, London. —The principles of the Ilygelan theory are con-
tained in the following propositions :-1. The vital principle is con-
tained in the blood. 2. Everything in the body is derived from the
blood. 3. All constitutions are radically the same. 4. All diseases
arise froat the impurity of the blood, or, in other words, from acri-
monious humours lodged in the body. 5. This humour, which de-
generates the blood, has three sources—the maternine, the conta-
gious, and the personal. 6. Disease and pain have the same origin,
and may therefore be considered synonymous terms. 7. Purgation
by proper vegetable purgatives is the only effectuual mode of eradi-
cating disease. 8. Experience of upwards of twenty years has amply
proved MORISON'S VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL MEDICINE to
be such proper vegetable purgative. 9. From the intimate connexion
subsisting between the mind and the body, the health of the one must
conduce to the serenity of the other. llygeism—The science of health.
llygeist—A promoter of health. Hygelan—Portaining to the science
of health. These terms have not been adopted through au affecta-
tion of singularity, but merely for the sake of drawing a sufficiently
broad hue of demarcation between the old and new schools.

Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order
that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could
it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when
used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
abused, the prolific source of mischief, and of greater or less Injury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
,he stators and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are prodactive of greater severity of misery to the human frame,
than any other to which it is subject.
This work contains au accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can
be of more importance than the preservation of the health,
and of the physical capabilities of which every man should
be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy
victim at excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
in early life or from the Mites of advanced age, while suffering
oity7sailldyikaeennrtfirttriaireentlichcli.aith..Sthdatmhpreesecavnecdnotitnhhiellsaidsnreotesadkiaisr,oer
