Remarkable cure of a Mother and Daughter of Consumption. To Messrs. Morison and Moat. GENTLEMEN, I DEEM it due to you to add my testimony to the number of testimonies which you are constantly receiving, as to the suc- cessful exhibition of what, not without reason, you style your Universal Medicine, in a great diversity of diseases. It is not of my own case that I am about to speak (although I have myself experienced undoubted benefit from the use of your Pills,) but of that of my wife and child. Early in the month of February, 1832, my wife had the misfor- tune to rupture a blood vessel, through violent coughing, being at the time in the fourth month of her pregnancy. This alarming accident, the occurrence of which she concealed for some days, was speedily followed by decided symptons of consumption, when a medical gentleman, who was called in, pronounced her to be in an extremely dangerous situation. She was bled and blistered, but her cough and expectoration continued. What made her case the more dangerous, was the exceedingly and constitutionally inactive state of her bowels, which it was impossible to move, except by the use of strong aperients; and to these, in conse- quence of her pregnancy, her medical attendant was afraid to re- sort. Every day she grew worse rather than better, so that I de- termined upon further advice, and called in Doctor Farre, a physician of acknowledged eminence and skill, especially in pul- monary affections. This gentleman, as soon as he had seen my wife, called her friends aside, and communicated to them the mournful intelligence, that, in his opinion, there was no chance of her recovery. Pregnancy, in such cases, he said, was some- times a favourable incident; but in her case it was otherwise; for ulceration had begun, and consumption was doing its deadly work, so that she could not possibly survive the sixth month of her pregnancy. He concluded by stating, that it was needless to send for him again, and directed the apothecary, should the spitting of blood return, to take four ounces from her, and, if that did not stop it, to continue to bleed her till she died. Her medical attendant expressed his entire concurrence in the opinion which Dr. Farre had pronounced, and we were left to sorrow without hope. The spitting of blood did return but, happily, it was stopped by the abstraction of the quantity of blood speci- fied. In other respects, however, no improvement took place, nor was any hope of improvement held out. On the contrary, life seemed gradually ebbing, and constipation of the bowels had reached such a frightful pitch, that for many days no passage was effected and yet the medical attendant dared not administer any but the simplest and most gentle medicines, which, I need hardly add, produced no effect. In this state of affairs, fearing I should lose my wife, I determined to try your Pills, which I was assured could do no harm,, but which might, even at the eleventh hour, and under the most unfavourable circumstances, prove efficacious. It was not without difficulty that I found op- portunities of administering them for, apprehending that my friends would be sceptical as to the utility of the experiment, if not afraid of the effects of trying it, I proceeded without their knowledge or consent. I gave two of No. 1 and two of No. 2 on successive nights, gradually increasing the dose up to seven of each. The good effect was almost immediately perceptible the bowels were very shortly opened, and continued to act with regu- larity, and without any of the dreaded injurious consequences arising from pregnancy; fever began to subside, expectoration ceased, her strength and appetite returned, and she was soon so far convalescent, as to leave herded of sickness and adopt a nu- tritive diet. I will not attempt to describe my own pleasure, or the surprise of my friends, at this sudden and pleasing change. Suffice it to say, that my wife lived to falsify the confident prediction of the sage physician who had solemnly pronounced her doom; and not only so, but in due time she gave birth to a child, whose en- trance into the world was, I make no doubt, materially facili- tated, by the same instrumentality to which, under God's bless- ing, I owe the prolongation of its mother's life, and, I may add, her restoration to health and strength. Still ignorant of the means by which my wife's recovery had been effected, her friends and medical attendants transferred their gloomy forebodings from the mother to the child. The ap- pearance of the latter was indeed sufficient to justify them for a more hopeless case, so far as appearances went. I never witnessed. Trusting, however, to the medicine, of the value of which I had had such gratifying proof, I administered your Pills to my infant daughter, when she was only a fortnight old. She had every symptom of a rapid decline, and more than one medical gentle- man who saw her declared that such was the case, and that she could not live through the winter. However, the winter is past, and she is yet alive. At first, though the operation of the Pills was immediate, and gave evident relief, but little improvement was externally visible. She took plentifully of the food prepared for her (her mother having no milk) but it did not clothe her with flesh indeed she was a living skeleton. Still I persevered with the Pills, and the effect has been, that she is now, in the eighth month of her life, free from every symptom of disease, in- creases in strength and stature, and has plenty of firm flesh. She is now approaching the severe crisis of teething, during which I shall steadily adhere to your Pills, as the best human reliance which I have ever yet discovered in circumstances of dangerous illness. With the cure of my wife I should have furnished you at an earlier period, but that I wished to present it with the yet more extraordinary cure of my child. I thank God, that by the aid of your Pills, I have been enabled to fulfil my wish. What are the ingredients of your Pills I know not; and am not anxious to inquire. It is sufficient for me to know, that, but for them, I should most probably have been a childless widower, instead of enjoying, as I now do, all the endearing associations of a husband and a father. For when some of the first men in the faculty had presumed to fix a limit to the existence of my wife, and blasted in my breast the pleasing hopes of paternity, the simple preparation which I obtained from you falsified the predictions which their ignorance suggested, and triumphed in emergencies confessedly beyond the reach of their book-learned skill." I am, Gentlemen, your obliged servant, March 18, 1833. J. S. P.S. I inclose my name and address as an authentication of this letter, biit request that you will not publish them. You are, however, at liberty to satisfy any private inquiries, by showing the original letter. CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC. MORISON'S UNIVERSAL MEDICINES having su- perseded the use of almost all the Patent Medicines which 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 invention of any plausible means of competition, have reverted to the expedient of puffing up an article in Pills of a fictitious Dr. Morrison, (ob- serve the subterfuge of the double r,) for the express purpose, by means of this forged imposition, of deteriorating the estimation of the "UNIVERSAL MEDICINES" of the BRITISH COL- LEGE OF HEALTH. The public will avoid this imposition by observing not to apply for these medicines to druggists, none such are allowed to sell them, the College having their own appointed Agents in every town throughout the kingdom. None are genuine which have not the words, "Morison's Universal Medicines," on the government stamp attached to each box and packet. The Medicines are sold in Pills, (marked No. 1, and No. 2,) with full directions: Boxes, Is Igd, 2s 9d, 4s 6d, and lis and the Aperient Powders at Is Ild per box, by the following Agents: At MONMOUTH, Mrs. Heath, Bookseller; ABERGAVENNY, Mr. Stucley, Bookseller; CHEPSTOW, Mrs. Williams, High-street; USK, Mr. Lewis, Tailor TINTERN ABBEY, Mr. Pritchard Ross, Mr. Jones, Watchmaker NEWPORT, Mr. Evans, Book- seller PONTYPOOL, Mr. D.
