CURE OF DROPSY, AND VARIOUS COM-
PLAINTS.
To Mr. SHEPHARD, Hygeist, Newcastle.

Dear Sir,—l should not have- either troubled you or
myself with my testimony in favour of Morison's Pills after
such overwhelming evidence has already been laid before
the public of their most extraordinary efficacy in the cure
of all complaints to which the human frame is subjected,
had it not been for the base calumny perseveringly thrown
out against the Pills by a class of men from whom the
public might have expected better things. I read, the other
day, in one of the public journals, a charge preferred against
the Pills for having poisoned a person. The truth or

ralsehood of the charge I, of course, at present, have no
means of ascertaining, but I fully believe the charge to be
false, and for the following reason :—My wife, about
twenty years ago, got an asthmatical complaint, from the
effects of sleeping in a damp bed ; the complaint gradually
gained upon her constitution, until about twelve years ago,
when the difficulty of breathing became so intolerable as
day after day to cause us to expect suffocation. She was
principally confined to her bed ; was, for years together,
not able to be without doors. She was regularly attended
by the faculty, for some of whom I feel under lasting ob-
ligations on account of their solicitude to rentler her relief.
Every means were tried that physicians and surgeons
could devise ; they pitied, but could not help, except in
giving temporary relief. From the time of her taking so
ill till about the end of 1831—being about ten years—she
bad blood let by the lancet or taken by leeches several bun.
dreds of times, besides blisters applied to her chest, some-
times thrice in the week, these being the principal
means from which she felt relief. During the year
1830 it was too evident that the dropsy had affected
her weak and emaciated frame; she became much swollen,
both in her face, bowels, and legs ; palpitation be-
came very painful; the Water was suspected to be col-
lecting near her Heart. The only expectation both by
her family and a large circle of friends was her dissolu-
tion ; the Faculty gave it as their opinion that her com-
plaint had assumed :such an aspect as to preclude the last
ray of hope of her recovery. About this time, November,
1831, I was often urged to give her Morison's Pills, but
being an enemy to what is called Quackery, I could not
be prevailed on, until I bad purchased and read the
" Morisoniana," in which Morison describes the true
cause of all complaints, and the means of cure by the Pills.
I was delighted with his theory. I hesitated no longer to
try the Pills on my Wife, who was anxious to take any
thing likely to relieve her sufferings. In December,
1831, she commenced taking the Pills; first in small
numbers, and as she gained strength of body she increased
the number from five to twenty occasionally in the day.
It is a remarkable circumstance that the Pills, which are
a strong purgative, were the means of greatly increasing
her strength. During the early part of 1832 the Dropsy
gave way to the powerful effects of the Pills, and by the
latter part of the year, and up to this day she has not
had the slightest symptom of relapse. During 1832, little
effect had been produced on her asthmatical complaint,
but during this year, by the providence of God, she is
greatly improved. She can now attend to her domestic
coocerns ; can take her rest at night; and is able occa-
sionally to walk three and four miles a day ; she is a
wonder to all who knew her. Whether ever she may be
perfectly cured seems a doubtful case, from the length of
time the complaint was suffered to prey upon the consti-
tution. It is now just two years since commenced
taking the Pills, and has only omitted taking them two
days during that time. The number taken exceeds 9,000 ! !
How is it then that she is not poisoned ? This is my
reason for believing the charge preferred against the Pills
to be false. I leave my name and address with you, and
am willing to refer inquirers, if any, to families of great
respectability, who will corroborate the above statement ;
and am willing, either verbally or by letter, to answer any
inquiries. am not an agent for Morison, and have no
other interest whatever in recommending the Pills, than a
firm persuasion of their powerful and harmless (not poi-
sonous) effects, in eradicating disease of every kind from
the human system.
%will further state I was much troubled with what
was said to be a liver complaint, and was treated accord-
ingly by taking large doses of calomel, which very much
imp tired my health. I tried the Pills, and in about a
week my liver complaint left me, and I have felt no more
of it since this took place, twelve months ago. One of
my sons became very dull of bearing, which continued to
get worse, until he took the influenza, when it was raging
in this neighbourhood ; he had a most violent attack. He
had a sore throat, which caused great difficulty in swal•
lowing, and rendered it difficult to get him to take the
Pills. The complaint kept increasing for three days ; he
was in a high state of fever and delirium ; we then made
a desperate effort to administer the Pills ; on the fourth
morning he took fourteen No. 2, and evening fifteen ditto,
and the same quantity the next morning. During that
day the fever had quite subsided ; he was able to come
down stairs, with a good appetite; and what seemed to
delight hint most, lie could join in the general conversa-
t►on, having exchanged the fever for his bearing.
Another son who bad from his infancy been delicate,
was in the practice of frequently taking calomel, to correct

WASHING WITHOUT LABOUR.
WARMOLL and Co.'s celebrated PURIFIED
SOAP, for Washing Linen. This valuable article is
particularly recommended to the Public as decidedly pre-
ferable to every other soap, possessing the invaluable
quality of eradicating grease, dirt, and stains from Linen,
white or coloured, with one fourth the labour required by
the use of common Soap, rendering the linen beautifully
white and clear. It is extremely harmless in its compo-
sition, so much so, it is used for washing children of the
most tender age. The unpleasant and hurtful effects of
wet linen being long on hand is obviated by the use of this
desirable article, likewise the things from being torn by
excessive rubbing, as they have only once to be rubbed,
agreeable to directions on each packet. The Directions
must be strictly attended to. Originals of Testimonials of
the First Families and Public Institutions, also from ex-
tensive laundresses, may be seen at the Factory. Large
Consumers may have a person from the establishment
to superintend a trial, and fully prove its merits.
The manufacturers are determined to afford the
Public every satisfactory demonstration. (No Family
ought to be without it ) It is excellent for exportation.
