CURE OF FISTULA, AND OTHER COMPLAINTS, WITHOUT
CUTTING, BY MORISON’S PILLS.
To MESSRS. MORISON.
January 12th, 1853.
GENTLEMEN,—I feel great pleasure in making a public acknowledgment of the
good I have received from your valuable medicines. I have been afflicted
from childhood with severe attacks of bilious complaint, every five or
six weeks; I have suffered dreadfully from spasms, scarce ever free from
them little or much: I have suffered from bad legs for these last twenty
years. I have dreaded the approach of winter, for they would be then
covered with scaly bleeding running sores from the knees to the ankles: I
have been afflicted for these last ten years with rheumatism with
repeated attacks of lumbago; I have been troubled from a child with great
quantities of worms, and for these last five years I have suffered from a
fistula, which gradually increasing, caused great pain and lowness of
spirits, so I continued up to September 1851; when my afflictions
increased—I was seized with severe griping pains in the bowels, for which
by taking large doses of medicines and drugs, would relieve me for a few
days, then they would return more violent. Worms made their way through
the wound of the fistula in abundance. Four months I endured dreadful
pains in the chest. I felt as if I were bound round with an iron bar. I
felt dreadful pains across the back and shoulders, my neck became stiff,
my eyes bloodshot; there appeared a heavy weight on my head, with a
hissing noise like a steam engine, my arms seemed filled with streams of
boiling water; I had every advice within my reach. I had blisters and
mustard plasters to my chest in abundance; I had Doctors and medicines of
every description, but all to no use, I gave myself up for lost; the last
doctor told me my liver was dreadfully affected, and if I did not take
care, I would have the yellow jaundice, and that the wound proceeded from
the liver; he did me no good, there was no hope but the hospital, but I
dreaded the knife. A friend at last persuaded me to try MORISON’S PILLS,
but I was so prejudiced against them, I ridiculed the very idea, but try
them I did, glad to catch at any thing, and thank God I did; they made me
very bad at first, but I persevered, beginning with five of No. 2,
increasing one each night up to nine. I found relief, they stopped the
violence of the fistula, they relieved the pains in my chest, and brought
