AN Extraordinary Cage of a Torourt OF TILE
BOWELS, .of long standing, which pro•rud,d like
the hump on a camel's back. It was obligA to be sup-
ported with bandage,. 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. Ono told him it
Was a CHRONIC ABCESS OF THE LIVER, and treated him Illr
such ; but his disorder was gaining on him, as his
bowels were 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 hint fast. The
water he passed away was quite. black and ropy, with
a quantity of thick slimy matter, quite offensive. By his
continually getting worse, he tried ANOTHER 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 accumulate more and more, and the
dropsy to increase. Thus he left the ho,pitll worse than
he went in, for his complaint had baffled 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 gave 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, ho 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 he 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 he
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 Hygeian 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
had 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 too far gone. On informing her that
while there was life there was hope, and that MORISON'S
PILLS had cured many thousands of the doctors' incur-
ables, 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
li 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 he soon
found that the more he took the better he felt, for what
he brought away was frightful to behold, and the stench
was unbearable. By this time the tumour was greatly
diminishing, from the effect of the medicine on the di,ease,
and the dropsy was so abated that he could walk about.
He was now taking eighteen pills No. 1 at night, and four-
teen No. 2 in the morning, and the more he took the better
he was ; so, instead of lying in bed quite helpless, and de-
serted by doctors, he was able to walk about, to the amaze-
ment of the farmers and inhabitants of the parish. On
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 largo doses
of the pills, and the great discharge they 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-
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 great accumulation of
corrupted matter which the stupid doctors had been so
long locking up, that if they wouid now assist him in rais-
ing his pay to enable him to have more nourishment, to let
him move about and do any light work, so as to keep his
mind occupied, that instead of his being a continued
trirden on them, in a very short time he watikl be able to
give up his pay and ma'ntain himself. The case was re-
ported to the Board, who augmented his pay for three
months to try the effect. At the end of that time the
patient attended himself, when the gentlemen examined
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. He 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. W. Havill, 91,
Fore-street, Exeter, Sept., 1868.
