BRITII/441 COLLEGE OF HEALTH
NEW-RO A.D. LONN.
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.
9. 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 parti•
cular locality in which it is lodged.

13. All 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 purify the blood.
I. The discovery of a vegetable compound, capable of being di-
gested, and mixing with the blood, so as to impart to it that energy
requisite for ridding t',e body of all superfluous humours was a
desideratum.

IG. This discovery has been made by James Morison, the Trygeist,
in the composition of the Vegetable Universal Medicine (commonly
known as Morison's Pills), of the British College of Health, Hamil-
ton-place, New•road, Loudon.

" January 23, 1846.
" Sir,—My opinion of the course you have pursued is unalterable,
and I regret I cannot come to any other conclusion.
" I returned from the continent confiding in your professions of de
votion, and at the eleventh hour, on the eve of beginning the m :Isom
as if to leave me without resource, not only do I find that, without
notice to me, you have, four months ago, enter d into an engage-
ment, against which I have long slece protested as incempatikle with
' the terms of your pas- engagement, end with your duties at the
Opera ; but that, relying upon what might naturally be considered
my helpless p.Eitioll, you insist upon forcing upon me tl e productioil
of your operas.
" Yoe sette that no consideration in the world would induce you to
renew your engagement, unless I pledge myself to produce operas of
your composition, at stated intervals. To this I n ply, that nothing
could induce me to give such a pledge.
" The preference that composers naturally give to their own works
has created an almost invariable practice in Italy of preventing tho
production, by persons iu your position, of works of their own com-
panion; and you know that this forms one of the written rules of
the Academic de Musique at Paris. In good feeling to you, however,
I overlooked this palpable objection, and at an immense sacrifice of
time and mosey, and to the exclusion of other new works, I hrougbt
out an opera of your composition which absorbed the thee
and exhausted the energies of the great artis'es to such an extent,
that, without further sacrifices in effecting new engagements, I should
have been placed in a position of serious difficulty. ISesides, lam
compelled to say that it unfortunately happens that, in spite of your
unquestionable musical science, your operas are not popular with the
public. Don Carlos made no return for the sacrifices made, and was
pertbrmed but five times, and in spite of my wish, and of what other-
wise would have been my interest, I could not give it again last year
without acting in defiance of the general feeling. I must conclude
also, that it experienced the same want of favour abroad, not having
been brought out at any theatre, not even in Paris, where it would
_have been the palpable interest of director and artists to produce an
opera already studied.
" With respect to your acceptance of an engagement hi another
establishment, the extent of business at her Majesty's Theatre de-
mands of its musical director undivided attention. The matter was
so fully discussed between us last year, and you so well know my
sentiments on the subject, that I could only construe this step on
your part as a foregone determination to retire from her Majesty's
Theatre, particularly when last year I increased your salary by 2001.,
being the sum you stated was the amount of salary offered you.
" Nor can I overlook the fact that this occurred during my rapid
and incessant movements on the continent, and without any notice
to nee, either before or after the affair was concluded ; and whatever

weight you mayattachtomy seeing it stated i; the English paper's,
those:journals never 'rearlifed—Yrte, "Add I had riot the slightest-tie• '
quaintance with the (get until I ace/Am-it:ally heard it rumoured after
my return, and only two days before I saw you.
" This is the less excusable, inasmuch as this engagement was made
within a fortnight after I lett London, and you muvt have predeter-
mined on that course long before, and the probability or certainty
ought then to have been communicated to me as a matter of common
courtesy.
In spite of my addition to your salary last year to prevent yon
sharing your time with another establishment, I did not object to
your proposition of another increase of salary for the present year.
For, notwithstanding the salary you derive from your appointment,
the patronage and profit of it leads to in concert., lessons, and from
ether sources, I consider that sacrifice of money cannot be
balanced against the vital interests of the theatre, nor could any
consideration induce me to reduce this establishment below the level
of the most insignificant theatres on the Continent, each of which
has the exclusive services of a musical director. Nor can I reconcile
your complaints of having too much to do in one establishment with
your acceptance of onerous duties in another.
" Under these circumstances, I have been obliged to take mea-
sures for securing the services of a musical director, though I greatly
regret your secession from the theatre, and, more so, that it should
take place under such circumstances. It does not, however, prevent
me wishing you success in the service ()fax institution of so admira-
ble a tendency as that to which you are now devoting your time.
