REASONS WHY THE FINAL
TRIUMPH OF THE HYGEIAN CAUSE RE-
QUIRES THAT THE EX-INGREDIENTS OF
MORISON'S PILLS SHOULD BE KEPT A

SECRET. By Mr. M'DOVE.
Morison was the first of human beings that exhibited
medicine in the form of a science ! That based it on
principles that never cau be shaken. That carried them
out into a practice so successful that the old law-built
Esculapian mass is already shaken to its centre and
totters to its fall.
Who that contemplates this mighty subject, with that
interest which its importance demands, but must
dwell with delight on the dignified, the triumphant
position of the man who first removed from himself
a malady from which no mortal before him was ever
known to recover ; and then conferred upon a mal-
treated world that which tended to change the
state of others from misery to happiness, with no less
certainty. He has been blamed, with a very bad grace,

relative to medicine under a veil of mystery, for
by those who have to cover all their sayings and

not to mention his right to reap the reward of a dis-
, covert' of such universal benefit, it may be inferred with
certainty, that had he at once divulged of what it con-
sists, and what proportions its different materials bear to 1

who prepare and vend the Vegetable Universal Medi-
cines, by keeping it totally distinct from every oilier,
have enabled converts to the Hygeian theory to test its
truth, by the only test that can be asked or given—the
virtues of the medicine. The knowledge of the system,
and the virtues of the medicine, mutually confirm
each other. And while men remain ignorant of the
former, it will seldom happen that a fair trial will be
given to the latter. One observation more on this topic.
Had the publishers of the Hygeian System of Medicine
not secured to themselves the profits of that which con-
firmed the truth of what they proclaimed, how could it
have been made known? Where is the man, or corn-
