SIR JAMES GRAHAM'S MEDICAL
REFORM BILL and the DOCTORS.
There cannot be a stronger proof of the fallacy of
the system pursued by doctors, viz., the Organic
Theory, and that they know it, than their present op-
position to the Bill introduced by the worthy Ne-
therby Baronet. Let us for one moment consider the
nature of the opposition. It is this, that Sir James
has not put a stop to the sale of patent medicines,
which doctors are pleased to style the sanctioning of
quackery. By the Bill, doctors have got, we main-
tain, all the protection they are entitled to, and which
would be quite sufficient for them were they not fol-
lowing a false theory. It is made a misdemeanor by
Sir James Graham's Bill to pretend to be a doctor or
on the register, which is just and fair enough, for no
man should represent himself to be that which he is
not, and if he does he should, as provided by the Bill,
be subject to criminal punishment. But are doctors
satisfied with this ? No, no ; they know that any
man who can be such an impostor as to represent
himself falsely stands but little chance of success.
However, they are protected on this point by the
Bill, but they say that it is of no use to them ! What
they wish is, to put down those who differ from them
in theory ! I who prove their theory (the Organic) to
be false by a successful practice ; who boldly stand
forward in their true colours ; who clearly draw a
barrier, so that there can be no mistake in the parti-
cular class; those we say are the persons which doc-
tors wish to put down, and which Sir James Graham
has very justly omitted to provide for by his Bill.
Sir James has very naturally said to the doctors—
" What more can you require, if you are right, than
that I should prevent men, who have not diplomas,
from representing:themselves as doctors to the world?"
Why, the thing speaks for itself, and Sir James
Graham must see through the whole concern with
half an eye.
Now let us for one moment apply the foregoing
observations to the now numerous body of Hygeists,
who for the last twenty years have been showing the
errors and fallacy of the Organic Theory of the doctors.
Do they represent themselves as doctors ? Can there
be any mistake made by the public ? In the first
place, all the statements of Hyg►eists expressly deny
the truth of doctors' treatment, from beginning to
end, in the most clear and unmistaken terms ; and in
the next, the Ilygeian Medicine is not sold at the
poison shops of the chemists and druggists, but at
greengrocers, shoemakers, stationers, &c., &c. Yes !
and we take a pride in acknowledging the fact. Mo-
rison's Pills are not, we say, to be had at the poison
shops of the doctors, where numberless rank poisons
are kept, in order to make a regular trade of the mi-
series of the human race. The honest and unassum-
ing 'persons who deal in Morison's Pills have but a
simple story to tell; they know that they themselves
have been reinstated in their health, and also that so
and so was at death's door under doctors' treatment,
and that he was, as it were, brought to life by the
llygeian Medicines. But how is it with your chemist
and druggist and his different coloured bottles in his
window, which well accord with the mist and con-
fusion into which doctors have, for profit, clouded the
true science of health ? Why, all is contradiction,
confusion, and mystery. The people are, in short,
according to doctors, to be kept in the most profound
ignorance as to what is to keep their bodies in health ;
that is the long and short of the business ; and such
being our opinion, we fervently hope that Sir James
Graham will proceed with his Bill, and at once, and
for ever, establish that which every free-born Eng-
lishman is entitled to, viz., the Medical Liberty of
the Subject; and if he does, his name will be handed
down to posterity as a great benefactor to mankind.
In short, his fame would be imperishable, considering
the bonds of mystery, confusion, and death, which he
would have broken asunder.

of Health, New-road, London, for and on behalf of
the body of Ifygeists.

MURDER AT YARMOUTH.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.

The body was left in the same position as it was
found till twelve o'clock at noon on Tuesday, to be
viewed by the coroner's jury. In order to effect a
discovery of the perpetrators all the police-constables
of the town were sent out to search the inmates of the
vagrant houses and brothels. Several parties were
apprehended on suspicion. From inquiries made, it ap-
peared that Mrs. Chandler had received 501. in the week
before and 1501. on the previous Saturday, the money
consisting of a cheque for 1001., payable at Messrs.
Gurney's bank, and five 10/. notes. This money had
been paid to her by a relation named Mrs. Swan, a
resident of Yarmouth. Another relation had sold an
estate, and the produce had been divided among rela-
tives, 2001. coming to Mrs. Chandler's share. It was
supposed that this fact being known to some parties
had led to the commission of the murder, as no money
was found in the house, but subsequently Mr. Balls,
the Mayor's officer, on searching Mrs. Chandler's
apartments found the cheque for 100/. and five 10/.
notes in a chest of drawers in her bed-room. For some
reason, it appeared that deceased only a few days pre-
vious had told certain parties that she had placed her
money under the bed for security. During the in-
vestigation before the coroner, a man named John
Dick, gunner at the town battery, brought a bag of
money to the station-house, which his wife had found
buried in the sand on the Denes, near the battery.
She had been out with a basket of linen, and on her
return home she saw several holes partly dug in the
sand, and another hole with finger marks andimpres-
sions of footsteps near it. She dug up the hole, and
seeing a bag she shrieked out. Her husband hearing
a noise came to the spot and pulled the bag out of the
hole. It was a large
ibag, and contained a consider-
able sum of money n copper, besides a small bag
inside containing silver and gold. There was a card
direction fastened outside of the larger bag, with
