"r,--In giving you a short account of my proceedings
to sale of Mr. Morison's Universal Vegetable Meeli-
eine, Since your kindness in establishing me as your suh-
lsgent, I have had many di-eouragements to contend with,
relying on the veracity of your word, I have been
hers to persevere. In my own family as will as num-
of others, the medicine Lw as done onders, and lam
Lnare than ever astonished that the community should
long lay asleep and swallow down drugs, with as much
'nfidence as if they were sure to cure their diseases, not
‘onsidering that they are of the most dangerous ingre-
die,nts that can enter the human body. A very respect-
akwriter of the last century makes a very honest
tersark, in his writings, 44 That the benefit of medicine
la a trade will ever be confined to these who are able to
taY for them—and of course the far greater part of man-
, 1d seill be every where deprived of them ; physiciane,
lae other people, must live by their employment, and the
Poor must either want advice altogether or take up with
that which is worse than none, viz., from the boys at a
tt laPeasary. This Sid know from woful experience.
t There are not, however, any where wanting well dis-
trh°4'd people of better sense, who are willing to supply
f defects of medical advice to the poor, did not their
;a' °f doing ill after suppress their inclination to do good.
~4,e,h People are often deterred from the most praiseworthy
4,7 ens by the foolish alarms sounded in their ears by a
of medical men who, to raise their own importance,
i;agnify the difficulties of doing good, find fault with what

f"tanY of the faculty are, no doubt, worthy members

the safety, as well as the honour of mankind, to have some

hangs over the profession renders it not only a con-

that I came to recommend Mr. Morison's Vegetable Uni-
versal Medicine, but I immediately inquired the particu-
lars respecting the young lady. Her father said it was
all over with her now, for, the last, M.D. had pronounced
her incurable. I, nevertheless, urged the necessity of at
least a trial of Mr. Morison's Hygean Pills. Her father
said that it was of no use, but referred to the mother. It
was in vain, however, to say anything to her, for she
would not hear so much as the mention of them ; there-
fore, after a long conversation, I bid them farewell.
When I returned home, I reflected on the importance of
saving a life that might prove valuable, and the awful
consequences of neglecting to exercise the power that God
in his providence has thrown in the way to save it, and at
the same time made up my mind to pay another visit. Ac-
cordingly, the next day, after breakfast, I walked to Bed-
ford-square, and found them just sitting down to breakfast,
and of course, being an old friend, I was asked into the
room, and as my business was urgent, I introduced the
business of the number of cures the Hygean Pills had
performed,and in very similar cases. The lady said they
had been recommended from another quarter, but she was
sore they would be of no service to her, and to prove
what she said, she requested me to put my ear to her
breast, and I might easily feel her heart beat like a ham
mer. I was very much surprised, but was thoroughly
convinced in my own mind that she would be recovered by
Mr. Morison's Hygean Medicine.
They were all against it, but I urged the necessity of
trying them. They wished her to die as easy as she could ;
as she was persuaded by her medical adviser. I then re-
quested she would indulge me by reading the "Morisoniana"
at her leisure hours, and she said she certainly would do
herself the pleasure of gratifying me the next day. I
left the book, and promised to call in one week. I called
according to promise, and found her parents very low in
spirits respecting their daughter. I told them to cheer up,
and that I would venture to say that their daughter would
recover, if she would abide by the directions given by
Mr. Morison, and requested at the same time that she
would call on Mr. Morison at his house. She promised
to do so. 1 attended at the time appointed, and found
that the principles of the Great Hygean had shaken her
resolutions ; likewise her parents. The father said he was
determined to make up his mind to permit her to use her
own judgment ; therefore, he would leave it to her ; and
said, my friend, you shall have it from her own mouth.
She was called into the parlour, and after taking a seat,
she appeared more like a corpse than a living person. Her
faller said to her Mr. Coverly wishes you to say whether
you have made up your mind to try Mr. Morison's
Vegetable Universal Medicine. I will thank you to say
what you thought of the Morisoniana.
Sir,—l do declare I cannot express my feelings. (Her
eye appeared to brighten and voice was very distinct and
clear.) I, with pleasure, at this moment declare to you I
am satisfied with Mr. Morison's theory, and will go
through a course without fear. 1 have made up my mind,
I will begin immediately. I assure you I felt my-
self very much gratified, and said, I am quite persuaded
they will cure you. She purchased a I ls. packet, and of
course found herself very poorly at first, but when
she had got over the first sensations the difficulty was
over, and she continued, with cheerfulness, until she had
increased to the amount of twenty every dose. The next
visit I made, I was surprised to find her miud lively, and
her hopes increased, and when I called next week, I found
her quite another person in appearance, and by her deter-
mination to pay strict attention to Mr. Morison's regular
tions, to eat no salted meat or salted *eh, and in par-
ticular to refrain from taking any spirits, she is now
quite another person, and in less than three months
had, with her husband, given the sum of 5001. for a
business in the country. and is repeatedly behind the
counter attending the business.
The next case I shall report is Mrs. a lady near
the Tower, who has laboured under a very severe afflic-
tion of the passing of gall stones. I was desired to call
on her at and after a little conversatton, she showed
me a box of stones, some of them were as big as the top of
my little finger. I viewed this box of curiosities, and
felt myself very thankful that it was not my case. I lent
her the Practicle Proof, and after she had read it, she
agreed to take them, and in a little time her son came for
more pills, and declared the Vegetable Universal Medicine
had done for her what no other doctor could do, for it
had cost her a large sum of money for advice, and she was
the same as when she first began. The Hygean Pills had
reduced the stones into sand, and she intended to con-
tinue to take them, and I have no doubt but they will be
of the most essential service so Ler.

I will Just mention that a gentleman shoemaker who
was very much afflicted with the rheumatism in the hips
and his wife with general debillity, both in one
month found themselves quite recovered from their
inability, and have left off takicg them, quite satisfied of
the utility of keeping the Hyge,in Pills always by them.
The next case is a German gentleman, who was given
over by a number of the faculty, and had been recom-
mended by the father of the person who went into business.
When he came to me he could searcely stand, but in three
months has recovered his inabillity, and now is following
his business. His lady likewise has been taking them all
the time of her pregnancy, and is now doing well, and
they say they will recommend them wherever they can.
They likewise continue to keep them in the house.
If I were to report every case that has come under my
notice, you would soon fill a volume with cases of small
import, such as tick-dolereux, urinary obstructions, piles,
lurnb ego, or extreme costiveness, &c. &c. &c. therefore, I
shall just say I visited a gentleman, at the west end, who
positively told me that his own physician begged of him
not to mention names, and he would without hesitation
inform him that all his family, who are now in the country,
are in the habit of taking them. In fact the greater part
of those that have taken them once, tell me, they never
will be without them, and in general beg that their names
may not be made public, but I will gratify any inquirer,
and, upon oath, if required.
