REPORT of the BRITISH COLLEGE of
HEALTH, New-road, London, for 1843.
In the year 1823 the above Establishment was founded by James
Morison, the Hygeist, who, together with a great number of indivi-
duals, became members thereof, in order the more effectually to
carry out those principles in medicine known as the " Hygelan Ss s-
tern" which have from interested motives been so violently opposed
by the Faculty, but which they (the Hygeists), notwithstanding, con-
scientiously believe to be founded in truth. rime, the test of all
theories, has mcst certainly proved the truth of that system. The
Hygeian agents in different parts of the world, who are highly re-
spectable persons, have all concurred in their reports as to the cure
of disease by Morison's Medicines, when many of the parties had
been given over as incurable under the ordinary medical treatment;
these facts arc on record throughout the different parts of the globe,
and, therefore, Hygeists are justified in denouncing the present sys-
tem of doctors (the organic pathology) as being altogether founded in
error, which, we submit, is empty proved by the fact cf doctors being
at this day quite at variance with one another, both as regards the
theory of disease and its practice—hence have we the Water Cure,
Hoinceop y, Mesmerism, &c. The fact of medical men being gene-
rallyath persons of education is not of itself at all conclusive of their
being the most competent to cure disease, if it can be proved, as we
say it can, that, from interested motives, the medical schools have
diverged from the path of simple nature, and for profit have made
the science of medicine one of confusion, not to be understood by even
the wisest man that ever lived; in proof of which assertion we refer
the public to the medical works of the day, which contain the most
flagrant contradictions and absurdities. 81r. Morison, on the other
hand, proceeding upon a simple, but true and natural theory—
namely, that all diseases, however they may show themselves, have
their origin in an impure state of the blood and fluids, so that there
is, in fact, but one disease—administers at once the Vegetable Uni-
versal Medicine ; and he, and those connected with his system, have
invariably found,* that when the disease was curable it has been
cured by that simple process, whilst, if the same disease had been
submitted to learned doctors, they would have tried, perhaps, innu-
merable prescriptions, all dignified with Latin names, and, after all,
have left the patient where they found him, if not worse. We say
these are facts of tvery day occurrence, and that those who will in-
quire into this important question will find them such. We are
aware that the practice of a system like the Morisonian wculd not
sufficiently remunerate doctors? since every person might thus become
his own physician. The public will,therefore, not bemuch surprised that
the Faculty should have adopted a system founded on organic prin-
ciples, as if the body were a piece of patchwork. which consequently
obliges all persons (except Hygeists) to have recourse to them in
cases of disease ; hence we see, in almost every street, eye and ear
infirmaries, and other establishments for treating different parts of
the body.
In conclusion, we have to lay before the public an extract from the
last Report oft he Exeter Hygeian Dispensary, together with Lady
Grey's last letter, and the amount paid by us for stamps to the Bri-
tish Governmenr, &c., all of which we submit is corroborative of the
foregoing allegation, namely, that the present system of doctors in
treating diseases on organic principles is altogether erroneoxs.
(Signed) MOItISON, MOAT, and CO. Hygeists.
At the Exeter Hygeian Dispensary upwards of 4,000 poor per.
sons have been restored to health by the Hygeian medicines, many
of whom had been declared incurable in the Exeter hospitals under
doctors' treatment. The Dispensary, situate at 91, Fore-street-hill,
Exeter, has now been in full operation during the last eight years,
and is under the direction of Richard Tothill, Esq., to whom the
public is referred as regards the proceedings at that Institution.
Case of Cure reported by Lady Sophia Grey.
Sandiway, December 7, 1843.
Gentlemen,—By the wish of cur labourer, G. Greaves, I write to
say that he wishes it to be known how greatly he has benefited by
taking your most excellent medicines. When wo came to this place
he was a poor sickly young man, so often tied up with violent attacks
of asthma, that the farmers would not employ him, and Mr. Booth
Grey gave him little jobs when able to do anything. I instantly per-
suaded him to take your Pills in small doses, alternately No. 1 and
No. '2. He has done so, never exceeding seven pills at a dose, and is
now a very healthy man, and able to work like any other labourer,
and not affected by every change in the weather. I have known se.
veral that have received great benefit from your Pills in this most dis-
tressing complaint. I have several bad cases in hand, and no words
can describe the blessing this medicine is to the poor. I have seve-
ral patients I have never seen, but send the advice by letter ; but am
not deceived, as I have friends who watch their iirogress. As for my-
self I should have been dead years ago if it had not been for your
Pills and the mercy of my Heavenly Father.
1 remain, Gentlemen, yours sincerely obliged,
SOPHIA GREY.
