    The “ Fourth Edition of Morisoniana” ( After 8,000 Cvpi cs of the three .former Editions being disposed of) Is m the press, and will shortlj be ready for delivery in two volumes; the first volume will be precisely the same as the third edition, (GOO pages, price 1 Is. neatly bound and cut) ; and the second volume will contain (in 700 pages, price 11s. bound and cut) all the now matter which has practically arisen in this new era of medicine, since the third edition was published; so that those who are possessed of the third may havo the second volume of the fourth edition only, which will form a complete series of the whole of the Hygeian labours, and proofs of the soundness of that first-established theory, from which no one item lias been altered (but confirmed) from its first formation. A copious index will be given in the second volume, which will, at one view, tdiew the wondrous performance of the Hygeian practice; not obtained by force, or those nefarious practices of bribery, to obtain public acknowledgments of cures, (as the doctors would insinuate,) but by the unsolicited effusions of gratitude which every individual has evinced; giving their names, residences, and dates, which are open to the enquiries and animadversions of the most sceptical. In this indexieal digest will be shewn a complete triumph of the powers of the “ Universal Medicines,” which have Bet the Cholera question at perfect rest; inasmuch as (maugre all the machinations of the Faculty,) it is clearly proved that, among the many thousands who have been cured by the Hygeian system, not one death has taken place where a fair opportunity of application has been presented. Of the merits of this Work, the Presidents of the College are not called upon to enlarge : it has established its real value in the approbation of a discerning public, and the present eall of a new edition of 8,000 copies, is its highest and best encomium. The Work iB divested of all medical technicalities—is clear to the common nense understanding of the most unlettered peruser—and produces such incontestible testimonies of its universal efficaey in practice, as is unparalleled in the history of medicine. \st March, 1833. CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC. Morison's Universal Medicines having superseded the use of almost all the Patent Medicines Avhich the Wholesale Venders have foisted upon the credulity of the searchers after health, for so many years, the town Druggists and Chemists, not able to establish a fair fame on the inven- tion of any plausible means of competition, have plunged into the mean expedient of puffing up a “ Dr. Morrison,” (observe the subterfuge of the double r), a being who never existed as prescribing a ff Vegetable Universal Pill, No. 1 and 2 for the express purpose (by means of this forged imposition upon the public) of deteriorating the estimation of the “ UNIVERSAL MEDICINES” of the “ BRI- TISH COLLEGE OF HEALTH.” KNOW J&.2LX. MEN, then, that this attempted delusion must fall under the fact, that (however speeious the pretence) none can be held genuine by the College but those which have “ Morison’s Universal Medicines” impressed upon the Government Stamp attached eaeh Box and Packet, to counterfeit which is felony by the Laws of the land jg-. b. Tbe College will not be answerable for tbe consequences of any Medicines Sold by any Chemist or Druggrist, as none sucb are allowed to sell tbe “ Universal medicines.” * • Observe, that any of the private or public Agents who are known to sell * any of those attempted impositions, will be immediately dismissed, in order that no mixture of interests shall any longer subsist, for the safety of the public health.
