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 Ve

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). Ile was for malty years practised upon by the
faculty—by the Holds, the kidducks, the gtrouds, and many
others I do not care to name, neither of whom ever did him
an atom of good ; at last they all
gave him up as a thorough
incurable ; net to be wonderedat, seeing how they had bled,
cupped and leeched, blistered, probed, and sounded his
poor frail body; at last he was prevailed upon to try
" Morison's Pills." He laughed at the idea, he ridiculed the very
are afraid of a little qualmishness and a little
proposition, bat was ultimately
persuaded to try them, and try them
he did—not after the style of some milk-and-water sort of folks that I
griping—but he tried
them in earnest. somewhat atter 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-
vered with them for years—he found benefit—real benefit—such as
the faculty never had gives, becausa they did not know how. I
have often heard him declare he should hage been dead years ago
had it not been for Morison's Pills. (lie 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
with by diplomaed assassins, that a perfect care 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, and my children, each and all of whom never have

medicine but Morison's ; it is but little they require.
I have brought the children up to it from a fortnight old. I
one administered two pills dissolved in water to ohs of my chil-
dren 14 days old ; it had a beneficial effect, and the child lived
and thrivel, and is nosy as fine a boy as ever was possessed by
prince or peer. I have also administered them to sly wife during a
protracted bout with cancered breast; the effect was a total cure.
No cancered breast now ; no hole big enough to admit a gaud-sized
chesnut ; not even a scar. I have administered them to her before
and during confinements. I have paid for (being obliged so to do

be stricken by that fell monster. I hesitated not ; 3 resolved ; I had
faith. I was determined to put that faith into practice, should kindly
oc-
casion require it. I heard of persons being taken insensible, of doc-
tors being sent for (and of course they seldom or ever recovered), of
bleedings, and opium, and ice, and all the thousand-and-one other
fallacious recipes, but to these I turned a deaf ear. I gave my wife
positive orders and made her promise me that in the event of my
being attacked away from home and should be brought to her in a
speechless state to suffer no doctor to eome near me, nor to adminis-
ter anything to me, but simply to cram some 20 or 30 No. 2 Mori-
son's Pills into me, and if they would not affect the epidemic
and speedily restore me, I vas t well assured nothing else
would ; but Providence did no ci upon me to test
my faith so far. I and my family were mercifully pre-
served from any severe attack. We all took the pi is as ad-
vised in the pamphlet you so kindly sent, and we all had reason to
bless God for having seen lit 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 medicines to enter my doors : that I recommend them to
all I come in contact with, both scoffers and lekewarmists (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.tcriflce, principle, health, money, and even their lives, for ap-
pearance sake. Take my word for it, there is a great deal of pride,
as well as 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, Ticdoloreux, 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 will 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 establishment
in London to the one at Exeter; then, then, down goes brazen-faced
diploma. Excuse my somewhat prosy communication, and allow
me to subscribe myself,
A long-trltd practical Morisonian, and your grateful servant,

But scorns e'en Time's destroying power."

present hour. Prepared only by James Cockle, Surgeon and Apothe-
