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, acc,rrding to the present
mode of. practice, to restore their patient, which was in some mea•
sure effected, as, after many weeks, the patient left his bed; but as
for the bladder, it had lost entirely 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 during the night it was kept passed into the
bladder. Mr. Potter continued to suffer in this distressing manner
until the Sth of August, about which period he was recommended
to me to see if Morisoo's Pills would have any good effect upon him,
and 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, and at the end of the third day,
astonishing 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 has 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 he has now become as active and healthy a person
as can be seen:

The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu-
tion, both in its life assnrauce and deferred annuity departments, par-
ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex-
pense or forfeiture—the great reduction of rates on short policies—
the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as best to
suit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well
as to afford the full benefit to his family at death, and annual division
of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that
the Society's great success and growing prosperity enabled the Di-,
rectors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to each policy
on the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-five per cent. on the
amount already invested ; and this bonus, according to an equltabie
scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of future
premiums. .

The Quackeries of Doctors by the help of their Organic System of
Treating Diseases.
1. A nice thing this organic pathology of doctors, which enables
them to administer innumerable drugs, and what is best of all for
them, it can never be proved that they have given that which is im-
proper. Dr. A. gives this, Dr. B. that, Dr. C. the other thing, and
so forth. Dr. A. bleeds, Dr. B. doesn't, and Dr. C. both bleeds and
doesn't. Mr. D. complains of a pain in the side, upon which Dr. A.
sends forth a messenger, in the shape of morphine, or some ether
ine, to fetch it out from that particular locality. Mr. D. complains
of a pain in his liver, Dr. A. sends another messenger in the shape,
perhaps, of calomel, to fetch that out. Mr. D. complains of a pain
in his head, Dr. A. sends a third messenger of some sort or other,
dignified also with a Latin name, to fetch that out. Thus, according
to doctors, there is a specifie for, every part of the body. This
sounds very well, but, turfortunatelg. they all differ among theirs.
selves, on account of symptoms. *axe When and hew their remedies
should be given. We can this a system of quackery, which may be
verified by any person referring to the medical works of the day.
It is a most fearful quackery, because it tends completely to enslave
the public mind, prevents inquiry, and takes away all responsibility
from doctors; they always have a loophole to creep out at under
their organic pathology. If a poor patient dies, of course the disease
killed him, it couldn't have beers the doctors' drugs; the confiding
friends believe him, and there is no further inquiry.
2. Keeping fine houses and carriages, in order to lead persons to
believe th..t, therefore, they can cure diseases better than their
brethren with diplomas, but without carriages or fine houses. This,
of course, would have no weight with the public if they knew the
nature of their own bodies, but being grossly ignorant of it, they are
led by outward show. We believe that it is well known that a
doctor stands no chance unless he keeps his carriage of some sort
or other.
3. Writing their prescriptions in Latin. This is done, we pre-
sume, to prevent the patient knowing the useless or injurious things
which he is taking; at all events, to give importance and mystery
to the thing.
4. Writing a book upon some particular disease (thanks to their
organic pathology), and then getting a friend, the editor of some
newspaper or review, to puff it into notoriety.
Having considered the quackeries of doctors, we turn to the Hy-
geian system. Let us see whether there be quackery in that. How
stands the case? Why simply thus—Mr. Morison, the Hygeist, al.
leges that all diseases proceed from one cause, viz., impurities in the
blood; he also alleges that the Vegetable Universal Medicine, by
removing these impurities, must necessarily produce health. Is he
borne out by facts in that assertion ? Let the thousands of cured
patients answer. Moreover, it has been offered during the last
eight years to prove the important fact of the universality of the
medicine, by a strict examination of the eases of poor people who
present themselves daily at the Exeter Hygeian Dispensary, most
of whom are discarded as incurable patients from the Exeter hos-
pitals. We cannot see how the word quackery can apply to the
H'igeian system; it is not pretended that the medicine cures by
magic, or as if there were a charm in it, but it is, on the contrary,
its cleansing properties over the blood which are relied uprn. The
cause of all diseases is asserted, and the medicine being unchange-
able, it therefore follows that every person, understanding that
system, can judge whether he will put himself under the Hygeian
treatment or net. There is no loophole for Hygeists as with doctors;
if the pills fail, then Hygeists say that, in their opinion, nothing else
will cure.
As to doetors being generally persons of education, it is no proof
whatever of their ability to cure the sick, because from motives of
gain (hence their opposition to Hygeism) the medical schools have
departed from simple nature, and in order to make medicine a lu-
crative employment, they have invented this cursed organic patho-
logy before described, which is now so mystified, that some of its
professors have gone mad, andothers confessthat they know nothing
about it. Some of them have turned mesmerizers, homeopathists,
water doctors, mad doctors, &c. With these observations we leave
the public to say which are really the quacks.
Lastly, be it remembered, that Hygeiaism owes its rise and pro.
gress entirely to public support, and, unlike the doctors, does not re-
quire the prop of arbitrary Acts of Parliament, the indirect puffs of
newspapers, or the subscriptions of the rich.
Lieut. Mackinnon's Report.
The last packet from America brought the following report from
Lieutenant John Mackinnon, 104th Foot. Hygeian general agent
for Cape Breton and other islands in the Gulf of St. Lawrence:—
To Messrs. Morrison and Moat, British College of Health, London.
Dear Sirs,—On the 6th of October, 1842, I had the pleasure of
transmitting to the British College of Health a brief report on
Hygeian affairs in this quarter of the globe, and which, I am
happy to discover, has been largely circulated, and some hundreds of
copies sent to this island to stare in the face both friends and foes.
Since the report alluded to, the Universal Medicines of the Col-
lege have nothing diminished In the estimation of old as well as new
patients, for not a cloud has arisen to obscure, even for a moment,
their shining lustre, and many cases of cure have been performed,
(by the blessing of God on the means) of truly a most astonishing
nature. A few only I deem it necessary to forward.—lst. Archibald
M'Donald, aged 47, farmer, pronounced incurable by several doc-
tors. He had been informed by the wiseacres, that by the aid of
their sounding rods they had discovered that his heart had grown
too large for its casement, and that he might prepare himself for an
eternal world. He applied to me as his dormer resource before
leaving this world, and was greatly surprised at my failing into a
violent fit of laughter at his tale of woe. 1c Archy, my man," said
1, " Do only what I bid you, and I will cut down that tremendous
heart of yours in a few weeks; fir those fellows you have been
consulting are only. blind leaders of the blind." The pills and
powders were administered in grand style, twenty at a dose twice
a day; this was in April, and the July following he paid for his
medicines by mowing the grass in my fields, and then found that
his heart was freed fro
m its shackles. He hasi remained in good
health ever since.
For the remainder of Lieut. Mackinnon's report,' see the 29th
number of the Hygeist, published on the Ist of December last.
The last Overland Mail from India brought Intelligence of the
chol. ra raging in the interior. and of its successful treatment in
all cases where Morison's Medicines were had recourse to.
The following is an extract from a letter just received by Messrs.
Morison and Moat, of the British College of Health, Hamilton-
place, New-road, London, from Robert L Pereira, Esq., then ge-
neral agent for Madras, dated October 21, 1843 :
I regret to inform you that the cholera is making great ravages
in the interior, and in a part of the black town called Parcherry.
In Madras. during the last nine or ten days, many have fallen
victims; those who have taken your invaluable medicines have
been cured, and others have been saved from an attack by a timely
application to same means.

THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who are bound by their deed
of constitution not to dispute any policy, unless they can prove that
it was obtained by fraudulent misrepresentation ; the great aim and
object having been to render Life Policies COMPLETE SECURI-
TIES and NEGOTIABLE DOCUMENTS, which shall owe their
value to the certainty of the contracts upon which they are founded,
and be independent of the liberality or caprice of those who shall be
in the management of the affairs of the Company when the claims
arise ; and for this purpose the Company have, by a clause in their
deed of constitution, unhesitatingly deprived themselves of the
power of objecting to any policy, unless they undertake to prove that
it was obtained from them by fraudulent misrepresentation. The
regulations common to all other Life Companies, which make the
validity of assurance contracts dependent upon the perfect correct-
ness of the many statements required from a proposer for a Life
Policy, and which have given rise to almost all the questions which
have been argued in the Courts, and to -many extra-judicial com-
promises, are thus entirely abrogated; and nothing but fraud, proved
to have been committed against them, can vitiate a policy granted by
this Company.
THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY from whom the assured on the
mutual principle, receive the whole of the mutual accumulations,
and also a guarantee from the Shareholders for the sums assured.
TIES IS THE ONLY COMPANY who .bind themselves to pay
the sums in the policies, although the debts for which they were
effected shall have been liquidated before the claims arise: The
Company considering It only just towards the assured that where
premiums have been paid for assuring a given amount, that amount
should be paid ; and they undertake to do so, without reference to
the state of the accounting between the assured and his debtor.
THIS IS ALMOST THE ONLY COMPA-{Y who grant in favour
of creditors whole world policies, whereby the debt is secured,
although the debtor should go beyond the limits of Europe.
The premiums calculated according to the Carlisle Tables, are
lower than usual upon young lives, where participation in the profits
is not required ; and for short assurances, which, at the option of the
assured, may be continued for life, the rates are as low as a due re-
gard to complete security will permit.
