BRITISH COLLEGE of HEALTH,
Hamilton-place, Nesteroad, London:
PRACTICAL PROOFS OF THE EFFICACY OF MORISON'S
HYGEI AN MEDICINES.
MESSRS.. Monis".
43, Southampton-street, Penton ville, Jan. 7, 1851.
GENTLEMEN,--I am about to perform the pleasing task of adding
another memorial to the many thousands already possessed by you.
A deep sense of gratefulness to the dispenser of all good, in enabling
you to become the honoured instruments of benefiting me and those
that belong to me prompts me to add my humble testimony to the
unsurpassed efficacy of the Vegetable Universal Medicine of the
British College of Health.
I will first begin by stating that MY father was a great sufferer, for
years, with asthma. He was a man temperate in all things (fortu-
nately for him). He was for Many years practised upon by the
faculty—by the Reids, tke Pidducks, the Strouds, and many
others I do not care to name, neither of when; ever did him
an atom of good ; at last they all gave him up as a thorough
incurable ; net to be wondered at, seeing how they had bled,
cupped and leeched, blistered, probed, and sounded his
poor frail body; at last he was prevailed upon to try
" 3foris os's Pills." Ile laughed at the idea, he ridiculed the very
proposition, but was ultimately persuaded to try them, and try them
he did—not after the style of some milk-and-water snit of folks that
are afraid of a little qualmishnees and a little griping—but he tried
them in earnest. Somewhat after this fashion—he began with 10
No. 1, next night 10 No. 2, neXt night 12, and so on, until he had
found what quantity was enough to touch his complaint ; he perse-
ecPhhiialUddsred a nissobelnv beneficial in water to one of my
effect,
because they did not know how. I
vered with them for years—he, found benefit—real benefit—such as
h
he should have been dead years ago
(He took 110 pills in seven
days, in 1832, when the cholera was raging.) He declared they
kept him alive. and nothing else; but he had been so tampered

wills by diplomaed assassins, that a perfect cnre was not to be
looked for, neither did he ever expect it after the vile inhuman
treatment he had received at their hands. I will now speak of my-
self, my wife, and my children, each and all of whom never have
up to it from a fortnight old. I
one chil-
drened
any other medicine but Morison's : it is but little they require.
and the child lived
and thrive I, and is now as flue a boy as ever was possessed by
prince or peer. I have also administered them to my wife during a
protracted bout with cancered breast; the effect was a total cure.
No cancered breast now ; no hole big euough to admit a good-sized
; not even a scar. I have administered them to her before

each, and thrown them unopened into the dust 1 bole. You laugh, per-
haps, but it is a real fact for all t at. In fact, upon all and every
faintly i
occasion of sickness in my (which e very rare, thanks to
Ilygeia), I administer a few pills Nos. 1 and 2, and generally find
two doses enough, if taken in time, I now come to speak of myself.
When the
cholera showed its formidable exterrninathr

you for advice ; you kindlyto your in,tructions.

I was then residing in pestilential oseditch. I knew not the day,
the hour, or the minute, that either myself or those dear to me might
be stricken by that fell monster. I hesitated not ; :I resolved ; I had
faith. I was determined to put that faith into practice, should oc-
casion it. I heard of persons being taken insensible, of casion require e,
course they seldom or ,
doc-
tors being sent for (and of ever recovered), of
bleedings, and opium, and ice, and all the thousand-and-one other
but to these I turned a cleat ear. 1 g
fallacious recipes, aye my wife
romtse me thia
positive orders and mede her p t in the event of my
and should
being attacked away from home be brought to her in a
suffer no doctor to come near me,
speechless state to nor to adminis-
ter anything to me, but simply to eram some 20 or 30 No. 2 Mori-
son's Pills into me, and if they would
__ not affect the epidemic
ited speedily restore me, I was well assured assured nothing e!se
would ; but Providence did not
_
i ul4Oll me to test
call
my faith so far. I and my family were mercifully pre-
served from any severe attack. We all took the pl. • I s as ad-
vised in the pamphlet you so kindly sent, and we all had reason to
bless God for ]raving seen fit to make them the Means of delivering
us from sudden death and frightful pestilence.
What more can I say, than that I have unbounded confidence in
the virtues of the Morisonian compounds, and that I never allow
any other mediciries to enter my doors ; that I recommend them to
all I come in contact with, both scoffers and Inkewarmists (excuse
the phrase). I mean those that have not got pluck enough to try,
or that have not got sense enough to see how Much cheaper it would
be to fetch a couple of boxes of pills twice a year than to have Dr. Di-
ploma ride up in his " buggy," driven by a black, bedizened in white
metal. But no, some soft people there are, and ever will be, that
will s:grit:lce, principle, health, money, and even their lives, for as-
pearance sake. Take my word for it, there is a great deal of pride,
as well an prejudice, connected with the matter. It is so genteel to
be bled, and leeched, and blistered by Dr. So-and-So. Suffice it to
say, I leave all such noodles to their own likings and inclinations.
I know from personal experience and observation that Morison's
Pills are, and have been, efficacious in the cure of Scarlet Fever,
Measles, Thrush, Rheumatism, Tlcdoloreux, Indigestion, Hoarseness,
coughs, colds, influenza, first stage of cholera, cancered breast, and
other minor disorders to which we are more or less liable ; and this
I know, and am determined upon, that I wl4 never resort to any
other, nor suffer any other to be received in my family so long as
Morison's Pills are procurable. I long to see a similar estaii lishment
in London to the one at Exeter.; then, then, down goes brazen-faced
diploma. Excuse my eomewhat prosy communication, and allow
me to subscribe myself,
A long-tried practical Morisonian, and put' grateful servant,

JUBILEE YEAR or COCKLE'S PILLS.
1551.
" Truth lives not for a fleeting hour,
But scorns e'en Time's destroying power."
The last fifty years have seen many wonderful changes, social, po-
litical, and, indeed, all but universal. The medical world itself, too,
has had its revolutions. New drugs and new compounds have been
introduce I, some of which have experienced but an ephemeral ex-
istence, whilst others have been retained as choice and valuable
medicines. But through all these eventful changes, COCKLE'S
ANTII3ILIOUS PILLS, the compound of a qualified practitioner,
have continued to rise in public estimation, increasing in sale to the
present hour. Prepared only by James Cockle, Surgeon and Ap ,the-
eary, 18, New Ormond-street, London ; and sold by all medicine
vendors, in boxes at Is. l d. and 2s. 9d.
