THE PRINCIPLES OF THE HYGEIAN OR 310 W SONIAN
SYATEM.
1. The vital principle is in the blood.
2. Everything in the body is derived from the Wool -
3. All constitutions are radically the same.
4. All diseases arise from impurity of the blood, or in other
words, from acritnonions humours lodged in the body.
5. Pain and disease have the same origin, and may therefore be
consi iered synonymous.
6. From the intimate connection subsisting between n Ind end
body, the health of the one must conduce to the serenity of the
other.
7. Proper purgation by vegetables, is the only effectual mode of
eradicating disease.
8. The discovery of a VEGETABLE COMPOUND, capable of being di-
gested, and mixing with the blood, so as to impart to it the enemy
requisite tor ridding the body of all impurities, was a desideratum
