BRUTISH HUMBUG COLLEGE OF HEALTH.—The wonderful efficacy of the MORISING
PILLS becomes every day more perspicuous. The discerning Public swallows
'em 'like winking;' and we defies all opposition, and the _Weakly_
attempts of our enemies to _Dispatch_ us. We tells those as calls us
quacks, that, under the blessing of Divine Providence, we glories in our
ignorance; and takes every opportunity of exposing it, for the benefit
of our suffering fellow-creatures. And we have found them a _sovereign_
remedy for ourselves; having, for a long while, been afflicted with an
emptiness of the chest, and a great deficiency of the _yellow-stuff_,
all which terrible symptoms have speedily disappeared; so we feels in
duty bound to propagate our pills to the remotest prosperity.
The following are selected out of several millions of cases, furnished
by a single agent, in a most sensible letter, to prove the
never-to-be-enough-wondered-at wonderful efficacy of the Hy-gee-wo-ian
Medicines.
