BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH of RICHARD
TOTHILL, Esq., of Heavitree, near Exeter, Member of the
Royal College of Surgeons, and a Licentiate of the Apothecaries'
Company, London, who, from thirteen years practical experience
upon himself, his family, and at the Exeter Ilygelan Dispensary, in
upwards of 5,000 cases, has indubitably proved the truth of the Hy-
gean System of Medicine, and the fallacy of the contradictory theories
pursued by the faculty at the present day.
Mr. Tothill is the fourth son of the Rev. John Tothill, of Cheriton
Bishop, Rector of Hillisleigh, in the county of Devon, and was horn
at Cheriton Bishop, in the year 1800. He received the first part of
his medical education with William Collins, Esq., surgeon, of Ken-
ton, Devon ; he ultimately concluded his studies at St. Bartholomew's
Hospital, London, and was examined for his diploma at the College
of Surgeons, London, by the late John Abernethy-, Esq.
The following is an extract of Mr. Tothill's case as published by
him in 1835 :

" I had passed my thirtieth year before I first saw the light—the
true light that guided me to health—and from my boyhood I had
passed a life of disease, physical misery, and woo. I began to run
the gauntlet of all the remedies which physicians are in the habit
of prescribing:—nothing had any effect in giving me ease.
Thus I continued, year after year, straggling with disease. My
speedy dissolution was often looked for, my meridis.n of life passed,

public. _
