CHOLERA MORBUS CURED BY MORI-
SON'S UNIVERSAL MEDICINES ONLY.
The President and the Board of the British College of
Health, New.road, King's Cross, London, on referring the
British Public to their former statement of the undoubted
success of the Universal Medicines in stopping the ravagei
of the Cholera Morbus in the Baltic, as given, verbatim,
from' Mr. IL Gardner, their general Agent for the County
of Durham, (who bad supplied several Baltic vessels with
the Medicine), beg leave to lay before the Public another
inter, received this day from the same gentleman, erintals.
,rg a still more corroborative proof of their full efficiency
in this devastating scourge :
" To Messrs. Morisco, Most, and CO.

'• Gentlemen,—Having received a letter from Capt. Lang-
:ty, of the trading vessel Joseph, of this port, who lately
arrived at Hull from Riga, I transmit you a copy, which
70,3 will feel to be your duty to publish to all the world.
Dear Friend,—Respecting the Universal Medicines
ti.r British College of Health, which you so fortunately
provided me with at Sunderland, I bare every reason to be-
litve, and, indeed, I am convinced that they were the means
,•!' preserving my own life as well as some hundreds more at
Riga, a great many of which I was an eye witness to.

"' On any 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 MOMS a free pasasge through
the body prevented the infectious air from producing that
t,tal cramp in the stomach and limbs which has caused the
dash of thousands. On the 28th of May, however, I was
most violently seised with that dreadful disorder, and for the
tint four hours was in a deplorable state, but, thank God,
trout the precautions I had used, the noxious air passed'
through my body, with very slight attacks of the cramp, and
a ire strong doses of the Universals soon restored me tol
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 hems), took the Pills
night and morning, and were saved.
To satisfy the poor fellow who died I got him some
medicine on shore, but it took no effect in the least, as he
ceased to exist soon after, first becoming cold as a lump of
ice and of a dark blue colour. I cannot think the Cholera
infectious 01 contagious front the touch, es none of us were
affected from handling the corpse.
"'heft Riga on the Bth of June, and got down to
Bauldra the suns day, all well, but on the 10th the mate
and a boy were both taken ill with this dreadful disease,
anti, for six days, were in a distressing state, but with a I
close and powerful applisetioa of the Pills, were restored to
full btalth.

" lam happy to say I have every reason to bellow that
this Medicine alone is all-sufficient to stop the ravages of
this dread evil, but that its powers are best applied at an
early stage, or as a preparative.
The value of the Medicine was in the highest estima-
tion at Riga, and great lamentations were made at the scanty
supply that could be obtained from me and the rest of the
vessels who had supplies from you. Had I had £lOO
worth more I could have sold them all, even to the French
‘loctors that were there.'

" The whole of the letters that have come to Sunderland
from those vessels which had supplies of the Ueditines out,
quit with the same raptures of their efficacy.

" I remain, Gentlemen,
" Your humble servant.
"MICHAEL GARDNER."
