BRITISH COLLEGE OF HEALTH,
HAMILTON-PLACE,
NEW ROAD, KING'S CROSS, LONDON.
EXTRACT FROM NORTHCROFT'S PARLIAMENTARY

CHRONICLE.
Mr. MORISON, the HYGEIST, and the BRITISH PUBLIC.
"We think it a duty which we owe to the public, to ex-
press our strongest disapprobation of the unmerited prejudice
which has been attempted against this reformer of medical
abuses. For a considerable period the fame of Mr. Morison has
been commensurate with the utility of his medicine ; and not only
Europe, but America, has paid a just tribute to his skill and in-
tegrity. It had long been known that the medical profession was
deficient either in skill or honesty to afford relief, and the apo-
thecaries of England were almost becoming as mal-odorous as the
physicians of France under the pen of Moliere. At length Mr.
iklorison gave to the world a practical proof, that a Universal Me-
dicine, composed of Vegetable ingredients, could effect cures when
the most talented professors of the healing art had failed of success.
Of course, he was assailed, like every other reformer in science,
politics, or religion. A Galileo or a Hervey, a Russell or a Lu-
ther, could not have been attacked with more impetuosity and ran-
cour. But Mr. Morison has outlived the abuse, and proved how
forcible are facts and good intentions against wedded prejudices and
vested interests.
'• The foregoing remarks are calledforth by the proceedings in the
King v. Webb, which have been trumpeted forth to the public
with an intention to prejudice the Hygeists.
" In the case alluded to, a young man, who was ill of a malignant
small-pox, took some of Mr. Morrison's pills. His friends preju-
dices became excited. They applied to a medical man, who
adopted a mode of treatment altogether different. The result was
—the death of the patient. An inquest is taken, the stomach is
found inflamed, and a medical man gives his opinion that death
was caused by inflammation, and that the Pills of Mr. Morrison are
composed of a deleterious drug—to wit, Gamboge, and the vender
of the Pills, Mr. Webb, is convicted of manslaughter.
It is not our province to attack juries, judges, or apothecaries ;
but we cannot help observing, that a more strange verdict we never
heard of. What inference could be drawn unfavourable to Mr.
Morison's Pills, when it is evident the patient had taken other
medicine, at variance with his former treatment? We forbear
going into further particulars, lest we should be accused of lending
ourselves to support one individual at the expense of another. Our
remarks apply to'the principle of the decision and its unfair deduc-
tion, as also the severity of the sentence. No human ingenuity
could fix exclusive blame on one person, when two had been co-
operative ; and where uncertainty prevailed, surely the defendant
was entitled to a lenient consideration. ' But then, Mr. Morison's
medicine is deleterious,' sap the country surgeon, because it is
composed of gamboge.' This is monstrously absurd. Gamboge
is known to be one of the best aperient medicines in use, and is to
be found in some of the most valuable prescriptions. Besides it is
not the ingredient itself, but its proportions and admixture with
other medicines, that establish its value. Four or five ingredients
may be applied effectually to cure all diseases,' said an eminent
physician, but the question is, how are they to be concocted?'
" A pamphlet has been put forth, containing the proceedings of a
trial in the Court of Common Pleas, in July last (Pursell v.
Stephens and Moat), for a libel ; and much has been attempted to
the injury of the cause of Mr. Morison by it. Surely nothing can
be more absurd than such an attempt : for the facts, if they apply
at all, shew the efficacy of Mr. Morison's medicine. The case was
this :—A boy, having been held over some offensive matter, be-
came ill in consequence. A respectable country practitioner was
called in ; but before a final cure was made, a lady of the name of
Tomkins recommended Morison's Pills. These were administered,
and the patient recovered. Now, this we call a good answer to the
case of the King v. Webb ;' but a statement, not strictly accu-
rate, appeared in the Christian Advocate' newspaper, regarding
the latter case, and a verdict of 5001. was, in consequence, obtained,
under an action for a libel brought by the country apothecary against
Messrs. Morison and Moat. Certain it was, however, that the boy
had taken the Pills of Mr. Morison, and was ultimately cured by
them, as Miss Tomkins believed.
" Now, the Americans have shewn a much better regard to
justice, notwithstanding all the prejudices imputed to them. In the
report of a trial in the interior state of New York, wherein James
Morison and Thomas Moat were plaintiffs, and Moses Jacques and
Jonathan B. Marsh, were defendants, how did that Court dispose
of the case? The charge was for counterfeiting and selling a spu-
rious preparation, purporting to be the genuine Hygeian Vegetable
Universal Medicine of the British College of Health London. The
Jury, after several hours' deliberation, returned a ve;dictfor Messrs.
Morison and Moat—damages, 400 dollars.
"The Americans have ewer prejudices against novelty than the
English. With them it is not necessary for anything to haveexisted
for a length of time to be appreciated. It is sufficient if it have been
tried, in many instances ; and with them, one failure,—even if it
had stood solely on its own basis and without other interference,—
would not have been considered detrimental, when a thousand in-
staaeee of cure had been effected."
