THE LATE DEATH by PRUSSIC ACID,
&c,,
at CAMDEN-TOWN.
PROOF of the IMPORTANCE •f the MEDICAL LIBERTY of
the SUBJECT.
People el England—Let this case be a warning to you all. If the
unfortunate girl and her friends had not been completely under the
thumb of the doctors—that is, had she or they been capable of
judging for themselves (which is what hygeists mean by the medical
liberty of the subject), she would be still alive ; but as it was, the
most deadly poisons were given her "me ticinally," which she
swallowed with confidence Il! There can be no safety until you
shake off the chains that bind you to the chltriot wheels of the
doctors in other words, until you become likeitygeists, your own
doctors.
No case can prove the importance of the medical liberty of the
subject (that is to say, trusting only to one's self and friends in cases
of disease), more than the melancholy case of Miss Collier.
The British College of Health have warned the public f.r many
years against these deadly chemical preparations, which can only be
used without killing by grains and drops. As to their curing in any
case, it is quite untrue. Of course, in order to have the medical liberty
of the subject as contended for by hygeists, all deadly chemical pre-
parations must be done away with, and nothing dangerous left in
the way of the people. So long as dangerous things are tolerated,
there must be persons to advise the quantity to be taken; herein
lies the whole secret of the question, and the key to all the opposi-
tion of doctors to hygeists. Many persons think that because prus-
sic acid and other deady chemical preparations can be taken in such
doses as not to kill at once (as in the case of Miss Collier), that,
therefore, they are a cure for diseases. Nothing can be more falla-
cious than such an opinion. It certainly would be most satisfactory
to the public it the medical world would explain upon what principle
it is that prussic acid, &c., is to operate as a cure for disease. Let
them explain the modus operandi of that roison, and then the public
will say whether it is possible that it can, under any circumstances,
do good. Why ! we ask, is not its operation to paralyze the action
of the heart, and through that all the other organs of the body ? Is
it not so? And is not this also the true modus operandi of all other
powerful narcotics or sedatives? Then, if it be so, upon what prin-
ciple are such poisons to cure diseases? Ilygeists have now for up-
wards of 20 years been contending this question with doctors ; every
manoeuvre has been attempted to divert the public mind from the
point, but the truth seems at last coming to light. We are aware
that the existence of the medical profsssion depends upon this ques-
tion of poisons, because if they are to be taken " medicinally," the
medical body is certainly entitled to a monopoly of
the
deing art.
If they are not, then every - be li s own doctor. an therefore
the whole fabric falls to the ground. As to Dr. Crown being a
German M.D., we think that has very little to do with the question,
so far as the public is concerned, bee use it is well known that Eng-
lish M.D.'s use these deadly chemical preparations " medicinally,"
as well as German M.D.'s. Are we, therefore, to infer that Dr.
Cronin has heels selected because he has only a German diploma?
We emphatically declare that there is no experience to justify the
administration of such deadly poisons, either by German or English
doct .rs.
We have much pleasure in stating that our petition to Parliament
against the use of poisons " medicinally" is meeting with unusual
support.
We say again to the public, look to the 4th Ilygelan print, wherein
the whole of the question as to poisons being held out " medicinally"
is fully brought before you In all its bearings. This print may be
had at the laygeist Office, 368, Strand, price 6d. plain, or Is. co-
loured; 6d, extra it sent by post. Issued by
