road, London.
The principles of the Hygeian theory are contained in the follow-
ing propositions :-
1. The vital principle is contained in the blood.
2. Everything in the body is derived from the blood.
3. All constitutions are radically the same.
4. All diseases arise from the impurity of the blood, or, in other
words, from acrimonious humours lodged in the body.
5. This humour, which degenerates the blood, has three sources
—the maternine, the contagious, and the personal.
6. Disease and pain have the same origin, and may therefore be
considered synonymous terms.
7. Purgation by proper vegetable purgatives is the only effectual
mode of eradicating disease.
B. Experience of upwards of twenty years has amply proved MO-
RISON'S VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL MEDICINES to. be such
proper vegetable purgative.
9. From the intimate connexion subsisting between mind and
body, the health of the one must conduce to the serenity of the
other.
