REDUCTION OF DUTY ON FRENCH
BRANDY.—COGNAC BRANDY, like the wine from which
it is obtained, requires age for its perfection ; when old, it is the best
and most wholesome of spirits, but, when new it is deficient in its
good and medicinal properties ; while, if adulterated with British
Brandy, these valuable properties are lost, and, from a generous
and invigorating cordial, it is changed into a coarse and inflamma-
ory spirit.
Tie great difficulty in procuring good genuine old Cognac Brandy,
and the high duty charged upon it,
:have hitherto prevented many
persons from using it; but now that a good and genuine article may
he obtained, and at a much more moderate rate, it is natural to
expect a great increase in the consumption.
To meet this demand, Mr. L. E. SEIGNETTE has determined to
avail himelf of his long and intimate acquaintance with the Rraudy
Trade as an importer. He holds the largest stock of Cognac Brandy,
pale and brown, in this country, and, in accordance with the wishes
and recommendations of h.a numerous friends, he has taken out a
Wholesale Dealer's Foreign License, which enables him to dispose of
it in quantities of two gallons upwards, duty paid. He pledges
himself to sell none but the best OLD COGNAC BRANDY, genuine
as imported, and careflilly selected.
To those who know him, he feels assured that this pledge will be
satisfactory. To strangers, who can discriminate the soft and fra-
grant flavour of pure and matured Cognac from the coarse, ardent,
and frequently adulterated spirit, until now imposed on the public, he
recommends a trial, with reliance upon their judgment in favour of
the superior quality of his Brandy.
Mr. SEIGNETTE begs also to offer to the public the best Hollands
Geneva that can be imported.
Prices for Cash on delivery, in quantities not less than two gallons,
are—

245. per gallon for the best Brown Cognac Brandy.
265. 99 beat Pale ditto.
20s. 9D best Geneva (Hollands).
A liberal allowance to the trade, to wham Mr. SEIGNETTE takes
he opportunity of offering his Brandies and Geneva in bond at cur-
rent market prices.
Agents wanted for town and country; persons of respectability may
apply, per letter only, at the office,

THE HYGEIAN, OR MORISONIAN SYSTEM OF MEDICINE.
1. All animal bodies consist of fluids and solids.
2. While in a state of embryo all animals consist entirely of fluids.
3. It is from and by the fluids that the solids are formed.
4. The fluids contained in the human body are four times the
weight of the solids.
5. The chief of the fluids is the blood, from which all the others
are derived.

6. The blood not only repairs every part of the human machine,
but also carries with it all the rubbish, or decayed parts, to be depo-
sited in the intestines. previous to being expelled along with the
excrement.
7. The blood is the life—the primum mobile—the first agent—
from which all others derive their origin.

S. Health depends upon the purity of the blood.
9. The purity of the blood depends upon its having free outlets for

its decayed particles.
10. Disease is induced by the choking up of these outlets in the
bowels, by reason of an accumulation of glary mucous on the inner
surface of the Intestines, &c. •
11. This accumulation Is occasioned by anything that weakens the
circulation or hurts digestion, but chiefly by the poisonous drugs and
bad treatment of the faculty.
12. The impurities thus detained In the blood occasion every spe-
cies of disease, according to the quality of the humour, or the part!.
cular locality in which it is lodged.
13. Ali diseases proceed from one source, therefore they must all
be cured by one medicine.
14. This medicine must be a vegetable purgative, innoxious in it-
self, yet sufficiently powerful to pervade the whole system, clear
away the above-mentioned mucous, and purifyt he blood.
15. The discovery of a vegetable compeund, capable of being di-
gested, and mixing with the blood, so as to impart to it that energy
requisite for ridding tbe body of all superfluous humours was a

deideratum.
16. This discovery has been made by James Morison, the Nygeist,
In the composition of Morison's Pills, the Vegetable 'Universal Medi-
cine of the British College of Health, Hamilton-place, New-road,
