Gstrrx.xasEw,
In handing you my case, one of the most
extraordinary cures ever performed by your invaluable
Medicine, I beg to be allowed to offer a few observations,
by way of an apology, why I have not done so at an e!..rlier
period. In the first place, I wish to observe that I am
not one of many words, but truth shall be my motto ;
and in order that I may not take up more of your valua-
able paper than shall be necessary, I will endeavour to
condense what I wish to say into as small a compass as
possible.

was, from the year 1824, afflicted with chronic
Rhuematism, Costiveness, a severe Bilious Complaint,
Indigestion, Flatulency, Nervous Irritability, &c., ;
all of which, I now find, were occasioned by the impu-
rity of the blood. I consulted, and bad the advice of
several of the Faculty, for which I feel in duty bound to
say, that they did their utmost to relieve my sufferings.
One of the above M.D.s candidly informed me that
mine was a very complicated case, sufficient to baffle any
medical man, and that nothing short of powerful medicine
would meet my complaint. As a last resource 1 placed
myself under his care, and took very powerful medicine.
As near as I can recollect, the compound was composed
of Hydrage, Calomel, Nitre, and Colchicum. After
taking the above, for a considerable time, I took plenti-
fully of the Blue Pill ; and by way of an antidote, I took
Black Draughts and Castor Oil. This was in the winter
season, during the latter part of which, in consequence of
the excruciating pain, attended with a damp perspif
ration, I was obliged to take nay breakfast i❑ bed
every morning, for a very considerable time—
and after having been at a considerable expense, I despaired
of ever being cured. I remained thus afflicted until '
the mouth of March, 1332, when a gentleman in my
neighbourhood, a part of whose family had been cured by
Morison's Universal Medicines, requested me to try them ;
but as my case was so desperate that I considered it
" hoping against hope" to expect relief from anything, I
at first refused, but from his calling the third time, and
referring me to two highly respectable gentlemen in the
City, on whom I called, they kindly informed me that they
had received great benefit, and that " they should not re-
quire a doctor to enter their house again." I then com-
menced a course of the above invaluable medicine with
Morison's Cleansing Powders.
Having been introduced to your active and valuable
agent, Mr. Haydon, I was emboldened to commence with
that confidence which has fully confirmed his well-founded
conviction of the virtues and powers of the medicines.
Probably, Gentlemen, you may recollect my calling
upo❑ you about the early part of the spring of 1832,
stating that I had suffered severely for years past with
of which I had neatly lost. I had then tatiefi
the medicine eight weeks, and was taking eight
pills each day, with powders three times per diem.
After stating my sufferings, Mr. Moat informed me that
my case was a desperate one, and that nothing but time
and perseverance would ever effect a radical cure, as the
acrimonous humours were located on the above parts.
Mr. M., at the same time, wished me to increase the dose
one pill each night. At the expiration of another eight
weeks I again called at the college, at which time I was
taking sixteen pills per dose. I well recollect my obser-
vation at th e time, which was to this effect, that I did not
know how to speak sufficiently in praise of the medicine
as to my bodily health, but my leg and thigh bad not
received the least benefit. About this period, in additio❑
to the above complaints, I was afflicted with paralysis.
My instructions were to increase the dose up to thirty pills
each dose daily, which, in due time, I did, and con.
tiaued constantly taking them, varying the dose from thirty
to fifty, and even to sixty ; and after a considerable time
from the commencement of taking the medicine, all the
before-mentioned disorders, being subdued, were rapidly
departing, and my suffering limbs were perfectly cured, the
use of which I have enjoyed unreservedly to the present

time.
At this particular period, my intimate friends and
neighbours often said that if I persisted in taking the
medicine, I should surely kill myself, as they observed
my very appearance portrayed that I was going into my
grave as fast as I could. My general answer was,
that I should persevere with the medicine whatever might
be the consequence : and that I should not only look
better, but that I should ultimately be perfectly cured.
Having received an epidemical complaint since the above
cures, which caused, according to the usual phraseology,
a violent inflammation in my face, eyes, and eats,
I took ninety pills in twenty-four hours, and various
doses each day, until that complaint was eradicated
from my frame. And on another occasion I took one
hundred and eighty-four pills in four days. lam so fully
convinced of the fact that Morison's Universal Medicine
is free from any destructive principle, that I should not
object to take from thirty to forty pills per (lay for six
months to come, even without powders, now that the
acrimonous humours are extracted from the system. And
lastly, I have taken the pills more or less daily since
the commencement, never omitting, except when on the
jury at the Court of Common Pleas, &c. &c. One of the
greatest reasons of my not writing before, was in conse-
quence of a number of ladies and gentlemen wishing me
not to do so, as they have often observed they approved of
my case better than any, as I did not write or puff about
it ; they well knowing it to be a true one.
Now, Gentlemen, after having given you the above
account respecting my own astonishing cure, and the
efficacy of your invaluable Medicine, I beg to observe,
that having experienced such great benefit from it myself,
I feel anxious to communicate the same to other given up
sufferers ; and although I have not forwarded to you a list
of cures, during my agency, up to the present time, yet
I beg to say I have been very successful in curing, with
your Medicines, a great number of persons afflicted with
Consumption, Rheumatism, Paralysis, Tendency of Blood
to the Head, Gaut, Scurvy, Bilious, Indigestion, Flatu-
lency, Nervous Irritability, and a variety of other dis-
orders, a number of which, respectably attested, I intend
presenting to you and the public, in my annual report.
As to Alorison's Universal Medicine being perfectly safe
and superior to any other medicine, I believe to be as true
as Heaven.

I am, Gentlemen, yours respectfully,

To the Editor of the " NEW TVEEKLY DisrATco."
Sir,.—We had prepared a full, and, as we foci assured, a
complete and unanswerable refutation of the continued
calumnies heaped upon us and our medicines, in the
" Weekly Dispatch ;" but, as these calumnies assumed a
more definite, as well as more serious form, we, on mature
consideration, deem it a duty to ourselves and to the public
(being a national concern); to place the matter in the
hands of our legal advisers, in order that the truth, or
falsehood, of the charges may be investigated by the most
approved tribunal. To the result of that investigation we
look with the utmost confidence for success; and that we
have sought the investigation, at least justifies us in asking
that the public will, in the mean time, suspend their
judgment. MoRISON and MOAT.
