, . .
The leading principles *l' this Office ara —Moderate and equitable
Rates or Premium for each clsss of risk—Annual division of Profits.
The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion
Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so
great, that the rates at Present charged are more the result of guess
than calculation.

It has been found by experience. that the total annual losses of the
different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the
amount of annual Premiums received by each. _ _

It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers,
that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the
true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu-
rance Company is established.
The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap-
proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto
been sufficiently acted (rt. or systematically applied.
Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to
the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as
security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer
is largely interested in this Question, and will consult his interest by
supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica-
tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own
experience, from time to time, adopt such rates of Premium as the
nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange-
ments as regards tariffs with other offices.
With this view an annual investigation will be made into each
class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett
excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have
been in force for three years.
Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon
every description of Property on moderate terms.
Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clause.
Prospectuses, and every information may be obtained, on applica-
tion at the Cane, or to any of its Agents.

A STN UAL REPORT OF THE BRITISH
COLLEGE OF HEALTH', NEW-ROAD, LONDON, FOR

1851.

" If I might give a short hint to an impartial writer, it would be
to tell his fate. If he resolved to venture upon the dangerous pre-
cipice of telling unbiassed truth let him proclaim war with mankind
—neither to give nor to take quarter. If he tells the crimes of great
men they fall upon him with the iron hands of the law ;—if lit tells
them of virtues, when they have any, then the mob attack him with
slander;— but if he regards truth, let him expect martyrdom on both
sides, and then he may go on tearless, and this is the course I take
myself,"—DE J'oE.

FELLOW COUNTRYMEN,—There could not have been a more oppor-
tune movement than the Papal aggression for the Society of
Hygeists, because by that movement the,*ind must now be eman-
cipated both in religion and in medicine. At present, that which
fetters the human understanding in Medicine, is the fact of doctors,
for their own selfish purposes, having introduced most deadly poi-
sons in medicine, by which they hold the public to their chariot
wheels. Do away with all such poisons, and you at
one emancipate the mind in medicine, and obtain that
(greater than all other) civil liberty, viz., " The Medical Liberty
of the subject," for which Mr. Morison and the Society of Hygeists
have for so many years been fighting. Hurrah I then for the Queen
and the right of private judgment in all questions, whether religious
or civil.

We need scarcely inform you that the cause of Hygeism is pro-
gressing steadily throughout the world ; as it is the cause of truth
against falsehood, such a result might be confidently anticipated.
Blows may be levelled at it by its enemies the doctors, which for a
time. have an effect on the minis of those who have been kept in a
state of darkness, but the light of truth must and will at last pre-
vail. There is one point respecting which we would particularly
caution you. Whenever " Hygeism" or the " British College of
Health" is brought into question, doctors endeavour, and sometimes
successfally, to make it appear that there is nothing whatever its
those words that call interest society. Now you should all know that
the system introduced by James Morison, the Hygeist, was a new sys-
tem; that if it be true—as we and hundreds of thousands, from practical
experience believe it to be—the whole fabric of medical systems and
colleges must fall to the ground, and that their total extinction is
only a question of thus. That doctors and their colleges are still
declining sfacllis descensus) in public estimation, is made palpable
by the gross invectives in which they indulge against
one anotht r, and their anxiety to obtain from the
Legislature some enactment which may have the effect of forcing
the people when sick to employ them, and take their poisons. No
one, who has carefully looked into the medical periodicals, will,
we think, deny the troth of our assertion. But another proof of the
downfall of medicine as a remunerative procession is also apparent
from the number of seceders from the regular medical schools. such
as homoeopathy, hydropaths, animal magnetizers, &c. A house
divided against itself cannot stand ; we may therefore conclude, that
the doctoring trade is doomed—it is rotten and corrupt at the very
core. We are the last that would for one moment stand up in de-
fence of homoeopathy ; but still we admit the perfect right of all
persons to act and judge for themselves in matters of medicine :—it
was not, therefore, without feelings of indignation, that we read-in
the newspapers of a gross attack upon a most honourable nobleman
in the House of Commons, viz. Lord Robert Grosvenor, merely be-
cause he chose to confide in homoeopathy ; and, to crown all,
that attack was made upon his Lordship by a judge, and a
medical man too Can anything, therefore, more completely prove
the miserable state into which regular medicine, as it is called, has
fallen in this country ? As regards homoeopathy, it is, in the eyes
of all Hygeists, the guinea-trade over again. Those doctors who
support it cannot, we presume, make a living under the old system,
and therefore they have adopted this German quackery ; but still, it
is nothing more or less than the guinea-trade under another name,
and therefore it is looked upon by Hygeists as being as great an im-
position as the other. Its object is like that of the other system of
doctors, to enslave the public mind.
Having shown that doctors as a body are not entitled to the sup-
port of the public, we proceed to show the excellences of the
s oTnhse
if ins s

of poisons
o
order to create a monopoly of the healing art, so that the guinea-
trade might thrive, has inflicted such a Wow on the social state, that
we cannot hope to see it recover even in our days—it is at once the
most stupendous and dangerous cheat that was at any time imposed
upon mankind. The frauds in railways and South Sea bubbles, or
anything else you please to mention, are nothing to it—it has made
poisoning and medicine synonymous I! ! The world will yet have to
lament that it allowed itself to be thus enthralled. Under the pre-
tence of promoting science, interested individuals have succeeded
in keeping the public in the dark, and therefore it only
now remains for society to inquire into this • great ques-
tion for themselves, and assert with one voice, that the
system of James Morison, which can be understood by all persons,
from the highest to the lowest, is the only true one, and that it must
come to this, we feel as certain as that the sun shines at noon day.
There is one point connected with this great question of poisons, for
which Hygeists and the British College of Health may claim credit,
which is, that in the year 1847 a petition, signed by 20,000 persons,
was presented to the House of Commons by Sir B. Hall, bringing
into question the poisons advised medicinally by doctors ; but not a
single measure has been adopted by Parliament in reference to that
subject. Whether it is because they see in it the downfall of doctors,
it is for you to decide.
If proof were necessary to show the popularity of Ilygeism as
compared with the doctoring trade, we might cite the fact, that in
the island of Capo Breton 10,000 persons have cumo torward pub-
licly to attest their faith in the system of James Morison. Where is
the doctor or set of doctors who could obtain such a tribute of spon-
taneous approval ? This public document now hangs up under the
walls of the Royal Exchange, London. You are aware that in the
last number of "The Hygeist" we published the report of that
staunch Hygeist, Lieutenant Mackinnon, of Cane Breton, an officer
in leer Majesty's service, and a justice w the pe ice for the island.
Well, would you believe It, that the " Times" newspaper positively
refused to publish it as an advet tisement, although they had taken
the money for it, viz., 61. Does this fact not prove to you the sort
of back-stairs influence which the whole tribe of doctors have to
support their craft? Toe" Times" would not open their columns to
tell the world the truth in this great question. Oh ! oh I As for
ourselves we care not for that paper, relying as we do on the truth
and honesty of our cause.
We now wish to call your attention to the important question of
Quarantine, which James Morison, by his system, clearly proved to
be a perfect humbug, only kept up to give importance and power to
doctors, though at the expense of the lives and comfort of the public.
Now we would ask whether in this enlightened age this abomination
of quarantine is to be still kept up? Are the fortunes of the world to
be made subservient to the miserable guinea-trade of doctors ? We
are happy to see that there are sonic doctors honest enough to admit
the real truth on this great question, in proof of which we cite Mr.
Moore on the Indian Villase Cholera, published in the "Medical
Gazette" of August 19th, 1850, wherein at page 229, he says—
" east experience, sad and mournful though it be, has removed
every doubt apon the subject, that quarantine laws have proved a
gross delusion: they have protect ineffectual ; totally inoperative as a
safeguard against the invasion of cholera.
" Quarantine laws, inoperative as a safegard against the outbreak
on shore of cholera, of typhus, of yellow fever, or of the plague,
_ _

have inflicted the greatest miseries on the unfortunate passengers

and crews, pent up in vessels, obliged to hoist the yellow flag. v In
the destruction of human life on board quarantine laws have not
proved inoperative."
Truths like these were all insisted upon by James Morison. Do
you not, therefore, see in his great system something more than
Morison's Pills? Again, upon the question of lunacy, he clearly de-
monstrated that insanity was a disease of the blood. The doctors

are now admitting that it is so. Do you again see nothing in this
but Morison's Pills ? Again, upon the great point of temperance, he
showed that diseases were induced by spirituous liquors. 1)e you see
nothing in this but Morison's rills? Again, upon the questions
of the numerous poisonings effected by doctors' poisons, he
showed that so long as such poisons were medicinally given,
there could be no saying who had been feloniously or me-
dicinally murdered —*that. in short, poisons and medicines
under doctors were synonymous. Do you see nothing in
_ .

all this but Morison's Pills? Go read his work, " The 3/lOriso-
niana," published iu 1825, and it after having read it you say that

you can see notning that interekis mankind generally, we shall admit
ourselves to be grossly mistaken. Remenber it was only by Mr.
Morison keeping the manufacture of his own medicine (Morison's

Pills) that the thump's of the Hygeian cause could have been esta-
blished! We declare to you, that truths the most important to
mankind, are revealed in that book, and that all persons, from the
highest to the lowest, should be as familiar with them as with
" Household Words !"

News has just arrived in this country that the cholera is raging in
Jamaica. Let us ask one question—Have medical men yet devised
any plan of treating this disease ? Oh 1 oh 1 is it not most disgrace-
ftd that the public should be left in as much doubt as ever on the
treatment to be pursued ? The Ilygeian Agent for Jamaica is Mrs.
Wheattall, Kingston, where Morison's Vegetable Universal Medicine
may be had.
We have observed that the Medical Department of the'Admiraltys
advises that purgative medicine shout(' not be taken in cases of.
cholera. Hygeists have only to say from practical experience in
tbottsands of cases, that such advice is most impr ',per ; laudanum
and all other narcotics they consider as highly injurirus, which has
been proved by the mortality in this country under such treatment.

THE NEW SCALE OF PAY AND Pnovisroxs.—We
are glad to find that the new regulations diminishing the
grog allowance, and consequently intoxication, iu the
navy, and increasing the pay and provisions, and conse-

the ISt of January, have been generally accepted and ap-
proved. We are well assured that the advantages of
this good measure, will, be more and more appreciated
as the • seamen become accustomed to drink less rum,
and at the 'allotted period receive more money for their
services.

THE FLAGSHIP FOR THE WEST INDIES,—III OUC
