They consist of every kind of disorder, and therefor;
become highly important in a statistical point ourseed
The same system of recording the cases is pa„
at the Exeter Hygeian Dispensary, by Richard S'"
hill, Esq. With this strong, and it is submitteduir
answerable, case made out by Hygeists against the
medical profession, are we not justified in asser„„•g
that all diseases should be treated with such a Pull e
tive medicine as the Vegetable Universal Medicinhe
of the British College of Health ? According b),er
r
present state of things, it is quite clear that eitilt
the Hygeists or Doctors must be in the wrong; file
not, therefore, we ask, at once, and for ever, se`
this important question, by an impartial investic,
tion of facts ? Let the Exeter Hygeian DisPetarjo

the arena fur deciding the question. Will the 113
cal profession accept this challenge ? If they (1°1)4
the worst construction should be put upon their Clog
culative and contradictory theories, for surely a stro
prima facie case has been made out by flYge:of
against them. Another important fact, in faoll'ber
Hygeists, in a statistical point of view, is the numfor
of stamps used by Messrs. Morison and Mciat" .
their medicines since 1830 ; which amount to the en
mous sum of 108,6251. t
Now, what are the Medical Statistics of Doc-°rso
