AN Extraordinary Case of a TUMOUR OF THE
BOWELS, of long standing, which protruded like
the hump on a camel's back. It was obliged to be sup-
ported with bandages. Also cured of Dropsy :
James Partridge, aged 45, labourer, residing at Barnes,
near Cowley-bridge, Devon, has been ill many months
with violent pains of the bowels, and great swelling in
various parts of the body. He has been under several
medical men in Exeter for some time. One told him it
was a CHRONIC ABCESS OF THE LIVER, and treated him for
such ; but. his disorder was gaining on him, as his
bowels wore swollen to a prodigious size, and the tumour,
like the huMp on a camel's back, was obliged to be sus-
pended. The dropsy also was gaining on him fast. The
water he passed away was quite black and ropy, with
a quantity of thick slimy matter, quit offensive. By his
continually getting worse, he tried ANOTHEtt medical man,
who said it was a TUMOUR OF THE BOWELS, and after at-
tending for some time, to no benefit, told him it would
burst, and there was no hope for him. He then went into
the Devon and Exeter Hospital, where he remained a pa-
tient for six weeks, trying all sorts of projects, but still get-
ting worse ; for instead of giving him purgative opening
medicine to reduce the tumour and carry off the water,
they were locking up the bowels, and allowing the cor-
rupted matter to accutuulat more and more, and the
dropsy to increase. Thus ho left the hospital worse than
he, went mu, for his complaint had baffi:d all their skill,
and his strength was much reduced, his-appetite gone, and
his sufferings were so very great that one and all of the
doctors gavo him not the least hope, for the tumour most
probably would burst, and his case was hopeless.
In this exhausted state he was removed to his home,
where, after remaining some time, he was taken to W ithe-
ridge for the change of air, and tried the doctor of that
place, whose treatment was, like all the rest, a total
failure ; for lie derived not the least ease, relief, or bene-
fit, as the tumour was still enlarging, and the dropsy in-
creasing, insomuch at times he WAS afraid of bursting. In
this deplorable state, as life was fast ebbing, and all hopes
were given up, he was again taken to his home to linger
out a miserable existence.

Now, having been ill for so long a time, and the expense
of moving about from place to place had at last ex-
hausted their substance, his wife was obliged to go to
the Board of St. Thomas's Union for relief, when be
was placed under the care of the parish doc-
tor, who attended him for several months, applying
plaisters, &c., to no benefit, and at last left him, de-
claring he could do nothing more for him. He was
now left to die. As a last resource, his wife was per-
suaded to try the effect of MORRISON'S PILLS. She
came to the Exeter Hyg-eian Dispensary, and informed me
of the particulars of her husband's case, of his long suffer-
ing, and of the utter failure of several medical men, for all
hal given him up as hopeless, and DID I THINK MORI-
SON'S PILLS would have any effect upon him, as she
feared that he was to) far gone. Ou informing her that
whilethere was life there was hope, and that MORISON'S
PILLS had cured many thousands of the doctors' incur-
able; and no doubt would cure him if within the reach of
human means. He commenced taking the pills, five of
Nos. 1 and '2 alternately, night and morning, for about
a week, which brought off great quantities of cor-
rupted matter and water, and gave him great relief,
which induced him to increase them, and ho soon
feundtbat the more he took the better he felt, fur what
he brought away was frightful to behold, and the stecch
was unbearable. By td's time tho tumour wad greatly
diminishing, from the effect of the medicine on the di ease,
and the dropsy was so abated that he could walk abnit.
He was now taking eighteen pills No. 1 at night, and four-
teen No. 2 in the morning, and the more he took the batter
ho was ; so, instead of lying in bed quite helpless, and de-
serted by doctors, he was able to walk about, to the RilltiZe-
ment, of tho farmers and inhabitants of the parish. On

Deputy Commissary-General.

being asked how many pills he was taking, he said,
" Why, twenty at a dose." The reply was, " They will kill
you." "Not they ; why I would take forty if required.
Just see. I have almost lost the lump on my belly, and the
dropsy has almost gone." By the taking such large doses
of the pills, and the great discharge thvy produced, he
required more nourishment to sustain his strength and
expedite his cure, which induced me to write to the Board
of Guardians to kindly consider his case, and to increase
his pay.
When the overseer called on me to inquire the particu-

PROPOSED MEMORIAL OF LEIGH
HUNT.
The grave of Leigh Hunt—one of England's most
charming Poets, Essayists, and Critics—at Mensal Green,
is without even a headstone. It has been proposed to
erect there a modest Monument to his memory. Mr.
Joseph Durham, A.R.A., has been selected to execute a
Portrait Bust and Pedestal. SUBSCRIPTIONS ARE
SOLICITED for the purpose. The following gentlemen
form a Committee for the collection and application of the
requisite amount:—

lars of the case, and on informing him of the great benefit
he had derived from the taking of the pills, ESPECIALLY

.
the large doses, in removing the groat accumulation of
corrupted, matter which the stupid doctors had been so
long lucking up, that if they would now assist him in rais-
ing his lay to enable him to have more nourishment, to let
him move about and do any light work, so as to keep bis
mind i.ccupiel, that instead of his be:iig a continued
burden on them, in a very short time he would be able to
give up his pay and tna'ntaiu himself. The case wai re-
ported to the Board, who augmented his pay for three
mouths to try the effect. At the end of that time the
patient attended himself, when the gentlemen examinc.d
him at great length, and were quite astonished at his state-
ment of the number of pills he was taking, and the won-
derful effects produced. Ho has now given up his pay,
and has resumed his labour again.
The above facts can be verified by the Board of Guar-
dians of St. Thomas's Union, Exeter.—J. Havill, 91,
