PEOPLE of ENGLAND.—The Petition against
the medicinal use of deadly chemical preparations, signed by
upwards of 21,700 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 tend to perpetuate such a false 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 interested 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 requested to give it the most extensive pub-
licity.—Dated this 18th day of June, A.D. 1547.

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

ceeds npon the assumption of a pledge presumed to have' been origi-
nally given upon the conquest of Cuttack, and that the late recom-
mendation of the Bengal Government for the continuance of this
money payment under another ferns appears to require further con-
sideration, it be referred to the Honourable Court of Directors to re-
view the arguments for the continuance of this annual payment,
having especial reference to their own Dispatch to the Bengal Govern-
ment of the 20th February, 1843."
