S PANTOMIMES.
JL The "Pantomime" scenes, with their laughable jokes,
Have afforded much glee to the Holiday.folks ;
But who would have thought the E. MOSES and SON,
Would have form'd such a part of the Christmas-tide full.?
Yet such is Our fame, that it seems we engage
The attention of parties conducting the stage.
Well done' there is nothing can yield more delight,
Or present on the board a more beautiful sight,
Than the scene which fam'd Harlequin quickly discloses,
When he touches the wonderful Mart of the MOSES'.
Nay, there's nr,th:ng can rival what thus has been done,
Save the Actual houses of MOSES and SON ;
These, of course, are the greatest, though Harlequin's wand,
Shows changes of which we may justly he fond,
The Original wonders can far more engage
Than a magical " pantomime" shown on the stage.
Then let all who would wish to behold our display,
Come and visit our warehouse without any pay.
Though Harlequin acts a most wonderful part,
Quite as strange transformations are seen at our Mart .
Here numbers of people are eloth'dev'ry minute,
'fill you'd fancy that Harlequin really was in it.
Now doubt not Our statements, we'll prove ev'ry one,
Jf you pay but a visit to MOSES and SON.

REPORT of the BRITISH COLLEGE of
HEALTH, New-road, London, for 1943.
In the year 182 the above Estanlishme,t was founded by James
Morison, the flygeist, who, t gether with a great number of indivi-
duals, became members thereof, in order the more effectually to
carry out thane pr neples in medicine known as the '1 Hygeian Sys-
tem," which have from interested motives been so violently opposed
by the Faculty, but which they kthe Hygeists), notwithstand:ng, coo.
scientiously believe to be tounded in truth. 'flute, the test of all
theories, has in st certainly proved the trill) of that system. The
Hygeian agents in different parts of the world, who are highly vv.
spectable persons, have all concurred in their reports as to the cure
of disease by Morison's Aledienes, when many of the parties had
been given over as incurable under the ordinary medical treatment;
these tarts are on record throughout the differeet parts of the globe,
and, therefore, Hygeists are justified in denouncing the present sys-
tem of doctors (toe organic pathology) as being altogether founded in
error, which, we submit, is empty prow(' by the fart of doctors being
at this day quite at variance witty one another, both as regards the
theory of disease and its practice--hence have we the Water Cur a
Homoeopathy, Mesmerism, Sic. The fact of medical men being gene-
rally persons of education is not of it-elf at all conclusive of their
being the most competent to cure eisease, if it can be proved, as we
say it can, that, from interested motives, the medical schools have
diverged from the path of simple nature, and for profit have made
the science of medicine one of confusion, not to be understood by even
the w'sest man that ever lived; in proof of which assertion we refer
the public to the medical works of the day, which contain the most
flagrant contradictions and absurdities. Mr. Morison, on the other
hand, proceeding upon a simple, but tr'ue and natural theory—
namely, that all uiseases, however they may show themselves, have
their origin in an impure state of the blood and fluids, so that there
is, in fact, but one disease—administers at once the Vegetable Uni-
versal Medicine; and he, and those connectet with his system, have
invariably found,* that when the disease was curable it has been
cured by that simple process, whilst, if the same disease had been
subtribted to (earned doctors, they would have tried, perhaps, innu-
merable prescriptions, all dignified with Latin names; and, atter all,
have left the parent where they found him, if not worse. We say
these are facts of e v.ry day occurrence, and that those who will in-
quire into this .mp ;rtant question will find them such. We are
aware that th practice of a system like the Morisonian would not
sufficiently remunerate doctors, since every person might thus become
his own physician. The public will,therefore,nctbeinuch sur; rised that
the Faculty should have adopted a system founded on organic prin.
ciples, as if the body were a piece of patchwork. which consequently
obliges all persons (except Hygeists) to have recourse to them in
cases of disease ; hence we see, in almost every street, eye and ear
infirmaries, and other establishments for treating different parts of
the body.
In conclusion, we have to lay before the public an extract from the
last Report of the Exeter Hygeian Dispensary, together with Lady
Grey's last letter, and the amount paid by us for stamps to the Bri-
tish Governmen', &c., all of which we submit is corroborative of the
foregoing allegation, namely, that the present system of doctors in
treating diseases on organic principles is altogether erroneous.
(Signed) MORISON. MOAT, and CO., Hygests.

Exeter, has now been in full operation during.the last eight years,
and Is under the direction of Richard Tothill, E xi., to whom the

Sandiway, December 7, 1943.
Gentlemen,—By the wish of cur labourer, G. Ureaves, I write to
say that be wishes it to be known how greatly he has benefited by
taking your most excellent medicines. When we came to this place
he was a poor sickly young man, so often tied up with violent attacks
of asthma, that the farmers would not employ him, and Mr. Booth
Grey gave him little jobs when able to do anything. I instantly per.
suaded him to take your Pills in small doses, alternately No. I and
No. 2. He II •5 done so, never exceeding seven pills at a dose, and is
now a very henithy man, and able to work like any other labourer,
and not affected by every change in the weather. I have known se:
veral that have received great benefit from your Pills in this most dis-
tressing complaint. I have several bad cases in hand, and no words
can describe the blessing this medicine is to the poor. I have seve-
ral patients I have never seen, but send the advice by letter ; but am
not deceived, as I have friends who watch their progress. As for my.
self I should have been dead years ago if it had not been for your
Pills and the mercy of my Heavenly Father.
I remain, Gentlemen, yours sincerely obliged,
SOPHIA GREY.

Extract of the Report of the Exeter tHgeian Dispensary for No—
vember, 1843: . .

Mr. Robert Potter, aged 64 is a yeoman, residing at Countess
Wear, near Exeter. In the month of May last he was violently seized
with inflammation in the neck of the bladder, so that he had not
the power to pass his water; consequently Mr Perkins, surge n,
of Exeter, was sent for to piss the catheter and draw it off: Mr.
Potter was otherwise extremely ill from rheumatic gout, so much
so, that Dr. Elliott, of Mount Radford, Exeter, was in attendance
with Mr. Perkins, and it was considered that he was in imminent
danger. All means were had recourse to, ace rding to the present
mode of practice, to restore their patient, which was in som mea •
sure effected, as, after many weeks, the patient left his bed; but as
for the bladder, it had lost enti ely its contractile power, so much so,
that for thirteen weeks he never could make water in the natural
way, and the catheter was obliged to be introduced four or five times
every day, and always dosing the night it was kept passed into the
bladder. Mr. Potter continued to suffer in this distressing manner
until the sth of August, about whets period he was recommended
to me to see if Morisoa's Pills would have any good elf. ct upon him,
anti my opinion being favourable as to the ultimate results of that
medicine upon him, he immediately began with three pills at
night and two in the morning, ant at the end of the third day,
a,tonishing to say, he was able to make water in the natural way.
He continued every day to progress favourably, and I think he has
taken the medicines in varied doses for about three months, under
my directions, with the happiest results, inasmuch that he as now
no occasion to pass the instrument, the bladder having quite regained
its natural power • and Mr. Potter's health is so regenerated in
every respect, that has now become as active and healthy a person
as can be seem
Mr. Potter has requested me to publish his case, as he never can
be too thankful for the great blessing he has received, and will
be most willing to answer any inquiries to any one respecting his
distressing illness, and also as to the very extrorctinary effect of the
medicines upon him, by their applying to him at Countess Wear,
near Exeter.

Case of Cure by Morison's Vegetable Universal Medicine, in Liver.
pool, after being given over as incurable by the doctors.
Te Mes-rs. Morison and Co., London.
Gentlemen,— i consider it my duty to make my case known to you,
having for many years been a great sufferer, until relieved by your
invaluable medicines. In 185.'.1 I was first attacked with a sickness at
the stomach, which continued for some time; I hai frequent bilious
attacks and could get no relief, which obliged me frequently to give
up work altogether. About two years ago 1 was under the doctor's
har.ds three months, with A diseased liver and stomach; my com-
plaints were alleviated fer a short time, when I was ed with a low
nervous fever. This was the worst of all my complaints, and it is im,
possible to describe my sufferings. The doctor did not teem to under-
stand my comphints, or did not know how to relieve them ; he di-
rected me to try sea bathing. I was better at first, then came on loss
of appetite, and could get no rest night or day, so that I almost lost
my senses. I then went to a fresh doctor, who told me he could cure
me in a fortn.ght. At the first I found benefit as before, but it baffled
his skill, and I was as bad as ever, and left him. I then coaanenced
drinking herb tea, which I found did me more good than the doctor.
I was next attacked with a very severe bowel complaint and sickness,
and I sent to the doctqr again: was confined to my. bed a week, and
reduced to a skeleton I got a little b..tter, but the doctor refuted re,
give me any more medicine, as it Was of nu pee i he could do me no

THE DUKE OF BORDEAUX'S

VISIT TO ENGLAND.

The following is a full report of M. Guizot's
speech (of which we gave an outline on Wednes-
day), relative to the court paid by Frenchmen to
the Duke of Bordeaux. it appears he intended
to remain silent after the candid and honest
speech of the Duke of Richelieu, but was com-
pelled to reply to the remarks of another
speaker :
The Marquis de Verac thought that the last phrase
of the first paragraph of the Address appeared to him to
attack both the dignity of the Chamber and the inde-
pendence of its members. Was there, in fact, in the
conduct of any one of them, anything that ought to
excite the disdain which the Committee had deemed it
necessary to express. In 1830, a Royal child, the loyal
heir to a throne, had been included in the exile of his
family. What reproaches had one to address to the young
and chief victim of the fatal ordonnances? Providence had
preserved that Royal child (noise, murmurs), and brought
him to man's estate. He wished to gain information
by visiting various countries, and for two years he had
been travelling through Europe. At present he was in
England. What was he doing there? Was he endea-
vouring to form a party? Was he calling around him
adventurers and men at arms? No such thing. A few
friends had crossed the Channel to express to him their
respect and affection. One of the great men of the age,
M. de Chateaubriand, led the way, and after him 2,000
or 3,000 Frenchmen of all conditions.--(Loud disappro-
bation, marks of denial.) He repeated his assertion-
-2,000 or 3,000 other Frenchmen had imitated M. de
Chateaubriand. Who would dare blame their proceed-
ings? He would affirm loudly that the progress of civi-
lisation would prevent all blame or punishment falling
on the meeting of the noblest sentiments around the
most respectable misfortune.—(Noise and interruption.)
tins conscience as a Peer of France impelled him to ex-
press himself thus, and to call for the removal of the last
lines of the first paragraph.
M. Guizot observed that he had not thought it neces-
sary to speak after the Duke de Richelieu, for he had
endeavoured to withdraw from the act in question all
political importance—he had represented it as an act of
personal gratitude, of respect to misfortune. A man
might testify respect to misfortune, and yet fail in other
duties. R spect is due to this world to other things
besides misfortune, and men had other duties as well as
that.suggested by gratitude. The Duke de Richelieu's
address to the Chamber called for no reply ; but it was
quite a different thing with the words just uttered. The
sentiments of the address are, in the latter case, com-
pletely attacked, and a proposition has been made to re-
trench part of the first phrase. The sentiments of the
address expressed the duties of the Peers and the duties
of the Government. The Government intended to up-
hold them, and to remain faithful to them.

The Marquis 1)e Verne had demanded merely the re.
moval of two phrases alluding to a party improperly
attacked.

M. Guiznt—lt was of that party (the Legitimists)
that he was about to speak. lie would not in any way
elude the qu.stion. The various Governments in France
since the Revolution had seen many culpable acts of
parties with a most tolerant eye ; but at the same time
they had used a proper share of vigilance. The present
Government had not attempted to exercise any exagge-
rated surveillance over the Prince, to whom allusion had
been made ; but when his presence in one of the great
capitals of Europe appeared to involve one of two con-
sequences —either to place the French Ambassador in a
false position, or to furnish matter for exciting men's
passions—they at once declared that such a position
could net last, and that if it was persisted in, the pre-
sence of the Ambassador appeared to them neither
suitable nor possible. They declared that at Vienna in
1841, at Dresden in 1842, at Berlin in 1843, and every-
where, the declaration was received as a natural and
legitimate consequence of their international inter-
course. Everywhere the complaints thus made
were attended to. When the Duke de Bordeaux
arrived in England, a similar position was foreseen.
England was a country of great liberty and great pub-
licity. The Gcnernment was aware that the English
Government was not armed against the consequences
which they had treeteij of elsewhere, but at the same
time they had a right to reckon on its loyal friendship.
Their hopes in that respect had not been deceived. The

Queen of England refused to receive the Duke de Bor-
deaux, and by that step gave a striking proof of her dis-
pleasure, and of her disapprobation of the political
colour that was. attempted to be given to this journey,
and the consequences that might be drawn from it.
After this resolution of the Queen not to receive either
in public or private the Duke de Bordeaux, scenes took
place in Belgrave-square, to which he should intention-
ally apply the epithet of scandalous ; yes,. -scandaloue,
in the eyes of all men of sense or worth in every
country. It was the duty of the Government to dainand
from the English Government if they had no meabe of
putting down what had been forbidden elsewhere—what
would not have been tolerated in any part of Europe.
The reply was, that they had no legal means of doing
so ; but they at the same time expressed their
profound displeasure, and openly manifested it to
them and to others, declaring that they found
the scenes alluded to absolutely scandalous, and they
excited their severe reprobation. It was all that it was
possible for them to do, or the French Government-to
ask for. But a grave fact, which the whole of Europe
was struck with as well as we, was the disappearance of
the qualLy of an unfortunate Prince travelling for ha-
provemellt, and in its place the title of Pretender to the
throne of France—of Pretender, in virtue of a right
which since 1830 no French subject living under the laws
can for an instant allow to appear. The Government
knew that in those matters, there was neither for the
Government nor the King any danger; the King's Go-
vernment was based on too wide and sure a foundation—
it had too deeply identified itself with the great national
interests and sentiments, to fear that any party could
place it in danger. The experience of thirteen yearn
did not allow any doubt to exist on the point—they
had surmounted many perils of far greater extent—
had overcome factions sometimes separately, and at
Others united together—all this they had dune, not by
their own merit, but by the strength of the natural
position of the Governnient.—(Leud cries of" Hear.'4
rhey, therefore, felt no uneasiness, but other consi-
derations ought to occur to them. The Legitimist party
had sent to London a eertain number of their adherents.
He did not hesitate to affirm that amongst those who
had set out to render homage to au exiled Prince—now
become a Pretender—many had gone, with regret very
possibly, but most undoubtedly without being actuated
by any very ardent desire—from being at all influenced
by such or such a journal—without, in fact, any real
political conviction.—(Hear, hear.) The meetings that
were spoken of had been as frivolous as noisy. Had it
not been well known that the proceedings were of an
unimportant character, the Chamber might be certain
that far fewer persons would have gone to London. He
would go farther, and would ask, did his hearers suppose
that they of the Legitimist party, who acted in a differ-
ent manner—they who, being Peers or Deputies, ab-
stained from going, did not deeply deplore and loudly
blame what had occurred at London ? He had no hesi-
tation in affirming that by far the greater portion of the
Legitimist party blamed energetically what had just been
lauded in the Chamber. Tere were, doubtless, to be
found in the Legitimist party many busy bodies, but
there are also many men of sense ; there are many who
could conciliate their regrets or their affections with
their duties as citizene ; those sincerely deplored the
scenes which had lately occurred in London. He
was very sure that there was in those no
danger for the Government. Whether he considered
the mass of the nation, or the Legitimist ! party,
he had good reason to say that the facts had nothing
in them of an alarming character. Why, then,
should they concern themselves with them ? Why,
because in this world, Gentlemen, there was something
else besides danger ; because it was not the question of
existence alone that should engage them. There was an
insult, a great insult—a political and moral insult.
There was an enormous insult in the affair, for it in-
volved with some a forgetfulness of their first duties.
There was here no question of an oath, for an oath was
not necessary to enforce the duties of obedience and
submission to the laws of one's country ; and when
those were openly and arrogantly neglected—when, so
to speak, parade was made of that neglect, the disorder
was immense—the insult of the most enormous descrip-
tion ; for it was scandalous for a party to escape from
the laws of his country to go and abuse the liberty of
a foreign country. This step might compromise the
good harmony which prevailed between the two nations
—it might bring about embarrassments, the danger
of which it was difficult to foresee. This conduct, he
could not too often repeat, was an insult which must
cause uneasiness to all Governments, whoever they
might be, and which they should visit at least by a
severe censure. This was a plain and simple expression of
facts, and facts which they could not fail to consider agreat
evil. He believed that the Legitimist party, like every
other old party in the country, united by deeply-ropted
sentiments and beliefs, reckoned amongst its members
men animated by noble and good feelings ; but the
wisest, the most moderate, and the best intentioned in
all parties, allowed themselves to be exceeded by polls
tiesl busy bodies. In fact, to use a vulgar expression,
" the tail two away with,..the head."—(Loud marks of
approbation.) What was the duty of the Government in
such a situation ? it was, doubtless, to protect the men
of sense against those mischief-makers. This duty they
would, with the assistance of the Chambers, strictly
fulfil. There was another evil which was produced by
such manifestations as these, and, in order to produce
this great evil, it was not necessrry that a revolution
should break out, or a civil war be organised. It was- a
great evil when discord was instilled into men's minds,
when extinguished animosities were revived, wizen ancient
prejudices and passions were again roused. This was what
might have resulted from a step which the conclusion of
the first paragraph of the Address wished to censure.
Were they aware that it was not, perhaps, very
difficult to revive in France revolutionary sentiments ?

arouse in certain minds passions marked by violence ?
It was the duty of the Government to combat this evil
—to put it down by the opposition which it exhibited
to culpable manifestations. Such were the motives that
led the Government to regard as duties the sentiments
expressed in the Addres,,. They should not quit the
course of moderate and liberal policy which they pro.-
fessed, but they should take every possible measure for
the future, as well as at present, to prevent the peace
of the country from being at the in:rey of rash attempts:
That was the point which the Address aimed at when
it declared that factions were put down, and the powers
of the State, whilst they disdained their demonstra
lions, would keep a sharp watch on their criminal ma-
nceuvres: Yes, they should disdain, as they had hitherto
done, all vain demonstrations. But when they became
revolting scandals, or threatening symptoms— the an-
nonncement, in fact, of criminal intrigues--they should
resist them energetically, and, with the assistance of the
Chambers, they were sure to succeed.—(Applause.)
