" To Messrs. Alorisen, Moat, and Co.

1 " Gentlemen,—Having received a letter from Capt. Lang-
ley, of the trading vessel Joseph, of this port, who lately
arrived at Hull from itiga, I transmit you a copy, which
you will feel to be your duty to publish to all the world.
"`Dear Friend,— Respecting the Universal Medicines
of the British College of Health, which you so fortunately
provided me with at Sunderland, I have every reason to bc•
lien, and, indeed, I am convinced that they were the means
of preserving my own life as well as some hundreds more at
Rigs, a great many of which I was an eye witness to.
" • On my first arrival at Riga, 1 commenced taking the
Pills as a preventive, or preparation for the attack, to stay
its violence if assailed; by which means a free passage through
the body prevented the infectious air from producing that
fatal cramp in the stomach and limbs which has caused the
death of thousands. On the 28th of May, however, I was
most violently seized with that dreadful disorder, and for the
first four hours was in a deplorable state, but, thank God,
tiom the precautions I had used, the noxious air passed
through my body, with very slight attacks of the cramp, and
a few strong doses of the Universals soon restored me to
health. All my men (except one who was too timid to take
the Pills with sufficient strength, from the fear of being too
violently purged, who died in a few hours), took the Pills
night and morning, and were saved.

" To satisfy the poor fellow who died I got him t.iim•
medicine on shore, but it took no effect in the least, as he
ceased to exist soon after, drat becoming cold as a lump of
lee and of a dark blue colour. I cannot think the Cholera
infectious of contagious frum the touch, as none of us were
affected from handling the corpse.

" I left Riga au the Bth of June, and got down to
Bauldra the same day, all well, but on the 10th the tnate
and a boy were both taken ill with this dreadful dise:use,
and, for six days, were in a diatrer.ing state, but with a
close and powerful application of the Pills, were restored to
lull health.

.66 6 I am happy to say I have every reason to believe hat
this Medicine alone is all•suficient to atop the ravage,. of
this dread evil, but that its powers arc best applied at an
early stage, or as a preparative.
'.' The value of the Medicine was in the highest estima.
tion at Hip, and great lamentations were made at the scanty
supply that could be obtained from me and the rz.t of the
vessels who had supplies from you. Had I had £10.,6
worth more I could have sold Clem all, even to the French
doetors that were there.'
" The whole of the letters that have come to Sunderland
from those vessels which bad supplies of the Ahtlitines out,
speak with the same raptures of their eflicacy.
" I remain, Gentlemen,
"Your humble act rant,

•• 31 IC DA EL GA RDNER."
