➢]TRACT FROM Tin ABRIDGED MORISONIANA.

44 Apader, let me narrate to you a small circumstance that took
place Rot a month ago, and when I was penning this advice to you;
for in an investigation of this kind, the minuter the circumstance,
of the more consequence it is. If a man, from his knowledge,
science, or art, could cause the slightest down to grow upon your
skin, on a part where there was none, and could give goad rational
grounds for his so doing, we should then have sufficient reason to
hope that the same person would arrive at the knowledge of co-
vering our heads with hair when bald, and where there was none.
I had on the middle joint of one of the middle toes of the left foot, a
very slight contraction of the articulation, with a little turgidity,
and the skin looked whitish and shining. It, perhaps, had existed
there twenty years (for I do not remember its appearance), gave me no
pain, and did not prevent me wearing any shoe. All I know is, that
it was there for many many years :—the nicest anatomist or sculptor
would only have said that there was some imperfection in it; a
little contraction and swelled skin it certainly had. One day lately
I felt pain on it, on the bone farther down, close to the body of the
foot, a Yiptle hardness and redness like a flea-bite ; but I felt, at
the same time, that the pain was deep, and reached the bone. It
went on Increasing; and the whole of that part of the foot
became Inflamed and swelled, and for two days I could scarcely
walk. Those about me recommended various applications, common
in such cases; but I rejected them, sensible of the only cause from
which it could proceed, and confident in the vegetable universal
medicine to eradicate that cause. I was otherwise in perfect health,
and could have walked thirty miles the day before it attacked me.
It is to be remarked, too, that on the other side of the artieulation,
towards the point of the toe, there was not the least inflammation;
this shows how the blood acts—it had detached the humour, and
was conveying it up to the bowels to be purged off. As I expected,
in a few days more the inflammation subsided; and, what is still
more, the whole contraction and littleswelling were gone. Science
or knowledge, without knowing the cause how this insignificant
change on my toe was brought about, is no knowledge at all, and
is lost to the world; you can make no use of it on other occa-
sions. The cause of the change on my toe arose from this:—
my blood was then purified by three years' use of the vegetable
universal medicine, and I was in good health. I have before said,
in the body of this advice, that the blood, the life of man, when
perfectly purified,becomes penetrating, elastic, energetic. It strives
to have uncontrolled sway in all its dominions, the body, and to be
itself everywhere, to nourish all properly. More nice than the
anatomist or sculptor, and jealous of its rights, the blood had
found out this little corner on the articulation of my toe, where one
of its bitter enemies had established himself for many years. This
enemy was a humour, and the cause of the contraction; the pure
blood, strong and active, enters into combat with it, subdues, and
expels it. This was the cause of the inflammation—the humour,
being dislodged, spread itself over the other parts, till, by the cir.
culation, it was to be conveyed to the bowels to be carried off.
One may judge of the malignity of the humours when this, not so
big as half a small pea, could occasion such pain. This was
the consequence of more than a thousand doses of the vegetable
universal medicine, which did not disable me, all that time, from
any occupation or amusement. This may be compared to the
last conquest the blood had to make to regain possession of its
dominions.

" From this occurrence on the toe, one may draw inferences and
knowledge of the most useful nature. We may consider it as the
seed of a disease, which had planted itself there, and only waited a
favourable opportunity of spreading itself, which would have de-
pended on my mode of life and state of blood ; fur example, four
years ago, being so ill, and pains in some other parts of my feet, that
I could scarcely walk, if, instead of using the vegetable universal
medicine, I had followed the advice of physicians, cronies, and such
like, and WM, as th• expreesion its, bracers, fortifiers, rostrums, or
specifics—this same humour on the toe would have been fostered
up into the gout, or some such thing, and if alive at this day
(which was not probable), 1 should have been Infirm and bed.
ridden."

Ail those who are desirous of becoming further acquallited with
the &pure system of medicine should read the abridged " Morison-
iana," price ed., also the " Hygeist," and other Hygeian publica-
tions, containing monthly, rep ats of cures, of every curable com-
plaint, which way be had of all the Agents for Mo, icon's Medicines
throughout the,country, and at the Hygeist Office, 563, Strand,
L widen.

N.B. Just published, " A Guido to Patients commencing the
Hygeian or Morisonian System of Medicine;" being a Selection of

versal Medicines," showing the particular number of pills taken

agents, or sent free on enclosing a 4d. piece, or four postage
stamps, to the British College of Health, New road, London.

In the exhibition of the valuable property we have
glanced at, may be particularly noticed Thornhill Park,
in Southampton, the residence of Mr. Hoy, the late ALP.
for Southampton; on the mansion alone he has expended
28,0001. The residence of the Baroness de Feucheres,
in the New Forest, is also a splendid abode, and has
consumed 20,0001. The on dits of the island
say that either would have been preferred
by her Majesty if she had been advised to see
them. We are told that in consequence of their death
the representatives of both have suggested to Mr. George
Robins that the sale must be positive. A reference to
our advertising department exhibits a greater display
of property than has been perceptible for many months ;
but this is not all ; it includes so muck that is really
recherclve, that wo can conscientiously recommend
a peep into these announcements to our readers, and
especially those who are accounted capitalists. The
Westminster Bank allow (as a mark of special favour)
one and a half per cent. on loans for three and six
months. The Joint-stock Banks have reduced their
interest to one per cent , and the Three per Cents. are
at par—such a combination of circumstances surely must
or ought to regulate the value of all sorts of
property, that will bear a searching investigation, and
pay a much higher rate of interest.
The West India Dock Company discharged the
Penelope, Ward, from Trinidad, consisting of 358 hhds,
63 blrxels sugar, and 147 puncheons molasses, in wetl-
and-a-half hours.
