      TTFALTII , LONG LIFE , AND HAPPINESS , SEC URED BY THAT POPULAR MEDICINE NO Medicine yet offered to the world ever so rapidly attained such distinguished celebrity : it is questionable if there be now anypart of the civilised globe where its extraordinary healing-rlrtues hare not been exhibited . Ibis si gnal success is not attributable to any system of advertising , but solely to the strong recommendations of parties cured by their use . The Proprietors of Tan ' s life Pitt ' s have now in their possession upwards of fifteen hundred letters , several of them from Clergymen of the Church of England , many from distinguished issenting JUnisters , from gentlemen connected with the Army and Xavy , also from Members of Parliament , Merchants , and 3 asC though notleast , from members of the Medical Profession , and a skilful Analytical Chemist ; all speaking in thehig best terms of the value of this inestimable medicine . This is a mass of evidence in its favour beyond all parallel . The extraordinary properties of this mediciae are thus described by an eminent physician , who says , " After particular observation of the action of Parr ' s Pills , I am determined , in my opinion , that the following are their true properties : — "Pirstr-They increase the strength , whilst most other medicines have a weakening effect upon the system . Let any one take from three to four or six pills every twentyfour hours , and instead of having weakened , they will be found to have revived the animal spirits , and to have imparted a lasting strength to the body . "Secondly—In their operation they go direct to the disease . After you hare taken six ortwelve pillsyou will experience their effect ; the disease upon yon will become less and less by every dose you take , and if you persevere in regularly taking from three to six pills every day , jour disease will speedily be entirely removed from the system . " Thirdly—They are found after giving them a fair trial for a few weeks to possess the most astonishing and invigorating properties , and they will overcome all obstinate complaints , and restore sound health ; there is a return of good appetite shortly from the beginning of their use , whilst their mildness as a purgative is a desideratum greatly required by the weak and delicate , particularly -where violent purging is acknowledged to be injurious instead of beneficial . Fourthly—As a general Family Medicine they are exceedingly valuable , and no family should be without them ; they may be used with perfect safety in any disease , for to every disease they are of inestimable value . John Dale , Esq ., of Manchester , Lecturer on Chemistry , and Pupil of the late celebrated Dr . Dalton , F . R . S ., in a letter addressed to the Proprietors in London , says : — ' i heg to state I find them worthy of being recommended to thepublic fo rtheir efficacy and simplicity , and to be really Tegetablepuls , containing , as they do , nothing hut what is of vegetable origin . With this assurance the public need liave no tear or giving mem a fair trial , " Fifthly—Thereis no medicine ever introduced to the public that has become so universally popular with females as Parr ' s Life Pills . For all complaints peculiar to females they are of most astonishing efficacy ; and they are confidently recommended to them for general use . A irial of a bos of these pills will at once prove the truth of ibis assertion . IMPORTANT TO THE PUBLIC . "We consider we are performing an act of humanity to the community of Tan Dicman ' s Land in acknowledging -that statements have been made to us by several persons ¦ who have taken Parr's Life PUls , with the most beneficial effect to them . Accounts of their efficacy have been furnished us by various individuals who have taken them , since the supply furnished by the patentees in England to Mr . Dowling ; but they have generally savoured so much of the marvellous , that we have hesitated to make the Statements public . However , we are now satisfied from further accounts given to us , that toliesitatelonger would be perpetrating an act of criminal omission to our fellowcreatures , and having taken the pills ourselves with the most satisfactory result , we perform an act of duty only in most strongly recommending the use of them to the public at large . This we feel the more confidence in doing . knoning that under any circumstances they cannot do harm ; and our conscientious belief is , that they cannot b- ? taken by any person without doing him good . " •—Cornwall ( Van DieinanV land ) Ga «! tc , I > ec . 23 rd , 18 ii . The medicine of Old Parr is the most popular of the present day . It has been before the public only a few years ; and in this short period has firmly established itself in public favour , and has effected immense bent-fit to all who have obtained this inestimable medicine genuine . Denco the list of respectable names bearing evidence to the high character of this remedy , and testifying beyond the possibility of doubt the wonderful character of the medicine by the number of extraordinary and decided cures wholly resulting from its use .

Sir , — beg to inform you that I believe I had been , for more than three years , one of the greatest sufferers iu the world with chronic asthma . For weeks together my breath was frequently so short that I was afraid every moment of being choked with phlegm . I never went into a bed ; very often , indeed , I have been obliged to pass the night without being able to recline sufficiently to lay my head on a table , lest I should be suffocated . No one thought I should live over the winter , nor did I expect it myself ; but I am happy to say that I am now able to work from morning to night , and that I sleep as well as ever I did in my life - , and this miracle ( I may say ) was effected by rubbing your invaluable ointment twice a day into my chest , and taking ten of your pills at bedtime , and ten again in the morning , for about three months .

      Mr. Doyle's Tour. To Ins Chartist Body, ...

      MR . DOYLE'S TOUR . To ins Chartist Body , and Members op the Co-operative Land Society-. —The Chartist Co-operative Land Society has been in existence between four and five months , and during that period every opposition has been offered to its onward progress by our opponents , and yet , thanks to your exertionsthanks to the late Convention , who made the plan simple , easy to be understood , feasible and practicable—it has triumphed over its enemies , and is now in a position that must be truly gratifying to every lover of social happiness and comparative independence . I say comparative independence , and why ? Because I believe that the working classes of this country can never be really independent , so long as

      they are without the possession of political equality . But such of them as have taken , and will take , advantage of the blessings held out to them by the rules of our society , jnay become independent , as compared with their former position . I may be asked how I can prove this . I'll prove it thus : —In the factories and workshops , whether the hands be weavers , spinners , slubbers , carders , feelers , warpers , mechanics , or whatever occupation they follow , they are bound by certain restrictions , certain rules , which they must not break ; but should they break them , through accident , or any other cause , they will most assuredly suffer in the shape of enormous fines and exactions imposed upon them ; and should any one of the workpeople refuse to submit to such lines or

      exactions , he is instantly discharged from his employment as a refractory and dangerous character ; and if the master who discharges him be of a revengeful disposition ( which , unfortunately for the poor fellow , is but too often the case ) , he will take immediate steps to prevent him from getting employment in any other mill throughout the town or district . 1 need not say that the rules in factories are tyrannical and unjust . I need not say they are made without the consent of the workpeople—I need not say that every person who is compelled to obey them—and every person must who intends to toil in one of those modern hells—is nothing more or less than a miserable and degraded slave . I need not say all this , and more—I need not attempt to prove it , and for one

      very tangible reason , it is well known by almost every person in the United Kingdom , and has been proved by hundreds—yea , thousands of witnesses both before committees in the House of Commons , and other bodies of men . However , I may perhaps be permitted to record a few of the monstrous and minddebasing rules which are carried out in many—very many—of the mills in the manufacturing districts . For instance , in Mr . Ficklen ' s factory in Todmorden , the silent system is carried out with the utmost rigour—that is , no weaver is allowed to speak to another weaver during working hours ; and I have no doubt but some gentlemen , if they had power , would stop the working classes from speaking to each other after working hours . In the prisons of this

      Christian land , the most infamous and despotic rules do not go beyond this . Ah ! working men , if this is not slavery of the most galling nature , I know not what is the meaning of the word . In other factories , though you arc not prevented from speaking , yet if you should be heard whistling , or making a noise , by tho manager or overlooker , you are fined the sum ot sixpence . In others , for sitting down , there is a line of sixpence . In all of them you are compelled to rise with the first bell , to commence work with the engine , and not to cease work until it ceases ; and should you not do so , should you be a few minutes late , no matter through what cause , a portion , and a large portion too , is deducted from your wages . In fact , your blood , bone , and sinew , are put upon an equality with steam , wood , and iron . Now let us look to the position of a man

      upon two acres of land , with a good cottage , at £ 5 a year rent , under our Land scheme . In the first place , he may get up when he likes , work when he likea , and go to bed when , lie likes . Again , a . t any hour of the day , he may visit his friend and neighbour , and freely converse with him for any length of time , without running the risk of losing sixpence . In a word , he is his own master—master of his land and cottage ; and no man dare insult him , or molest him in any way , without being subject to his just resentment . Again , lie may venture to a public meeting , called for the purpose of devising the best means for emancipating the working classes from the foul dominion of the tyrant land-lords and money-lords . He may , at that meeting , boldly and honestly express his opinions , and return home , sleep soundly , get up in the morning , enter upon his field , and no man can turn bimoff . So much for comparative independence ; and now I will give a brief report of my last week ' s

      tour

      LEEDS . On Sunday , September 28 th , I addressed an ' open air meeting , on VVestheath-moor ; Mr . Firth , one of the active members of the National Charter Association , occupied the chair , and made a brief but appropriate speech . The meeting was a numerous one and apparently each and every one appeared satisfied with the afternoon ' s proceedings . In theevenin <* there was a goodly gathering in the Bazaar . Mr * Farrar , an old and staunch veteran in the cause was unanimously voted to the chair , who , after makhVa few introductory remarks , called upon me to address the meeting , I spoke for an hour and a half upon the subject of the Land ; and during that time I endeavoured to show the advantages likely to result from the adoption of Our Land project and rrolSS to some of tho objection s offered to l { by ' onTopponents SdSltaar . * * " * ^ ° the % * CHERWEIX NEAR LEEDS

      _ , ; On Monday evening I addressed a meeting held in Li -IP ? } ?? H wra of the aD » ve village , called to consider the Land its capabilities , and the means oi obtaining it . " Some two or three years ago a tew . colliers inihis village took a quantity of land " 'Ola tlieil' . employer , at an annual rent of £ 5 the acre . Tie employer , a cunning fellow , took go % d care to make an agreement with them highly favourable to himself ; but not to those who took the land .. The agreement was , that . tiiey were only to hold . the iiind so long as they worked & j' him , or rather so & ng

      as they worked for whatever . ' wages he'thought pro * per to dole out to them . Ildwever . vthemendid not relish this one-sided way of doing business , and they broke through it , by turning out in consequence of their wages being reduced . This was not to be forgiven by this very kind-hearted " coal king , " and he has lately given them notice to quit the land , and if they refuse , of coarse he will take means to eject them . Now mark , when they first took this land it w -is not worth 10 s . an acre , but they have since that pejvn . 1 i , „ tfo exnenditurc of their labour and money upon it , maue ft nuiim , »» »— ...., i- „ , t ; lnes ^ value . rotiikrham . ^ Perhaps there is scarcely a town in Yorkshire , or probably in the whole country , to compare with itotherham , so tar as tho physical condition of tho The ,. - _ m ' « _ . _ - '••' -.

      working classes is ^ concerned . working men thcit are truly the aristocracy of labour , inasmuch as they are principally engaged in the iron trade , with plenty of work , and consequently wages high—high as compared ivith the wages of others . There is another fact connected with the trade of that town , viz . : — That during the long and dreadful panic of 18-12 , when such vast numbers of the workpeople were thrown out of employment in nearly every town in manufacturing districts , there was full" employment for the people of this town ; " and yet , though the people have had , and still enjoy tolerable comfort , they are haters of tyranny , lovers of true liberty , and unflinching supporters of our Land project . Many have joined our Land Society , and

      also , a Local Land Society , established for the very laudable purpose of buying land ( not renting it ) out and out . On Tuesday Mr . Kimpster , jun ., took me to see four acres which the society had purchased at the rate of £ 70 the acre , within a mile and a half of the town , and certainly I never saw land better cultivated in my life , though the men who have managed it knew nothing about land three years ago . ' They were not brought up to farmingno , but to working iron , ifec . lie pointed out half an acre , the property of Mr . Lear , which he ( Lear ) set with potatoes upon Mr . O'Connor ' s system last spring ; and what , think you , is the amount of produce realised by him ? Why , no less than eighty loads of excellent potatoes , which at the time of my visit was selling at 7 s , the load . Now , eighty times 7 s . will amount to £ 28 for one crop upon a half acre of land : and consequently , if he had had an acre ,

      the produce would realise £ 50 . Mr . Lear desired me to return his heartfelt thanks to Mr . O'Connor , through the medium of the Northern Star , for the information he has imparted to him upon the all-important subject of the Land , its capabilities , and the best way of cultivating it . The society have , in addition to the four acres already mentioned , latelv purchased fourteen acres more , for the sum of £ 15 ) 00 , which is a very high price , but then you must bear in mind that it is situated within half a mile of the town , . and is of first-rate quality . I addressed a large and enthusiastic meeting which was hold in a commodious school-room , the only one that could be procured in the town either for love or money . 1 spoke at great length , and when I had concluded , several questions were asked me , which I answered to the satisfaction df the parties .

      SHEFFIELD . O . v Thursday night 1 delivered a lecture in the Town-hall . Subject— " Surplus , the giant evil—the Land , the only remedy . " Mr . Brings , a sound , straightforward , and unflinching democrat , occupied the chair , who opened the business of the evening with a pithy speech , which told well upon the audience . At the close of the proceedings votes of thanks were given to the chairman and myself . Christopher Dotle .

      SUNDERLAND . O . v Friday asd Monday , the 3 rd and 6 th inst ., an opportunity was afforded us to bring the constitution , principles , and objects of the Land Society before public meetings of the inhabitants of this town . Mr . Hobble , a veteran democrat , presided on each occasion . Mr . M'Grath , of the provisional directory of the society , addressed each meeting , and satisfactorily acquitted himself , although suffering from hoarseness . and exhaustion induced by unintermitted lecturing . Many copies of the rules were purchased by the audiences , and since our first meeting several persons have paid their instalments on shaves in the society . We cherish hopes of having cro long a powerful branch of the society in Sunderland .

      NORTH SHIELDS . Mr . M'Cratii has during the past week delivered two most instructive lectures on the Charter and the Land in the assembly rooms of the Scarborough Spa , King-street , and although the very word " Co-operative" has something ominous in it to the cars of the inhabitants of this district , a most favourable opinion has been created in regard to the Chartist Co-operative Land Society , Within the last three years cooperative stores had been established under tho most favourable auspices at Newcastle , Sunderland , and Shields , but owing to the incompetency and the dishonesty of the parties entrusted with the management have failed , and some who had had shares for which they paid £ 30 have not received a single farthing of their money . These failures have been caused through the shareholders neglecting the advice " to take the management of their affairs into tlieir own hands . " The greatest recommendation of the Land Society is its being founded upon this principle .

      MORE OF THE ANDO VEll UNION . The extraordinary attempt to . palm off upon the rate-

      Payers Of Andover A Discarded Officer, A...

      payers of Andover a discarded officer , as it is believed , of another union , is , I am informed by letter , the subject of animated conversation in the town . The circumstances of the case at Oxford , where Price is said to have been , very much resemble those of that at Andover . The surgeon of the house brought under the notice of the board of guardians the neglect of the master to give to the paupers the medicine and diet he had ordered for them—charges which Price , like M'Dougal , at first indignantly repelled , and challenged Mr , Wyatt , the surgeon , to the pi-oof . This led to an investigation , the result- of which was that the chargesjivere substantiated , and the master , to avoid worse consequences , resigned . The history of that investigation is as follows : —

      Mr . Austin , the Assistant Poor Law Commissioner , attended the weekly meeting of the board of guardians on Thursday , June 27 th , 1844 , and opened liis inquiry , making it a public one , in spite of much opposition from many of the guardians . Mr . Wyatt , the medical officer , repeated his former evidence . The man Thomas , whose wife died in the workhouse , and the woman HolyoaUe did the same . The surgeon mentioned the case of an inmate named Harpur , who had disease of the heart , ami whose modicine was not delivered to her , by which neglect her complaint and suftbrinss were much aggravated . The surgeon underwent along cross-examination by one of the guardians , a friend of Price , but nothing was elicited in his favour . In reply to questions put by other guardians , Mr . Wyatt stated that lie had heard Price use language of a very i ? nproper character . "Monstrous , by God ! " was a common expression of the matron to the children .

      At the meeting of the board on Thursday , July 4 th , several charges against the master were brought forward —1 st , for striking a little girl , an inmate ; 2 nd , for not sending the breakfast of an inmate named David Hanks , who had been taken in a fit , and could not go down stairs to get it ; and 3 rd , for confining a girl in a room for six months , and giving her oakum to p ick when she was near her con-Snemcnt . Evidence in support of the first two charges having been taken by theassistant-commissioner , the third was adjourned to Saturday , the 6 th of July , for tbe production of a book of material importance in proof of the charge . The inquiry was then again adjourned to tho 18 th , to give Price time to get up his defence , and the Poor Law Commissioners an opportunity of perusing the evidence against him . The interval , however , was much greater , as the ease was not again taken up until the meeting of the board on Thursday , the 1 st of August , when a new but serious feature in the inquiry presented itself .

      It appears that on Monday , July 22 , an inmate of the workhouse was reported to have been found dead in his bed . He was a person of weak mind , and latterly subject to convulsions and to fits of excitement , during which he would talk loudly and incoherently , and throw himself about . The medical officer had ordered that ho should be placed in a room by himstdf and bo kept quiet . Instead of that two otlwv idiots wove with him . An in . quest was held on the body , and the jury , after two sittmgs and a full inquiry into all the facts of the case , re .

      turned a verdict of » Died by the visitation of God , " but added this censure- " The jury are of opinion that the deceased has not had the attention ordered by the surgeon , in consequence of the master not carrying out his orders , and it appearing that it has not been the practice of the master to look to the medical orders , but to have the same solely to the matron , the jury hope that the guardians will in future make some regulation b y which attention to the sick may be better insured . The jury consider tho conduct of the master and matron in the present instance to be censurable . "

      Tins verdict and censure , signed by Mr . Slatter , the foreman , was communicated to the board in a letter from the coroner , which was entered in the minute book . One of the guardians ( Mr . Allbutt ) moved this resolulution : — " That it is the opinion of this Board that the present master and matron are not suitable persons to discharge the duties of the offices they now hold with Satisfaction . " This was Seconded , and some discussion ensued , during which two of the guardians commented on the evidence given by the master before the coroner , pointing out certain discrepancies . The motion was carried by a majority of 20 to 2 . Three guardians declined to vote . The Assistant Commissioner then said , that after what had just transpired he should postpone his inquiry . The resolution which tho board had passed might alter the course to be pursued by the master

      On the following day , however , the Assistant Commissioner resumed his inquiry , and took a great mass of evidence pro and con , relative to charges of neglecting to deliv . cr medicine to the sick , contravening the written orders . of the medical officer as to the diet of the siefc , in neglect ^ to su pply the food prescribed , and giving that not orders and injurious , and acting contrary to the rules of the house , both in supplying food of a badquality , and , on complaint being made , continuing the same ; « netmg paupers wot on the medical list on food not recognised by any pule of the house ; and of his violent !! / striking a girl The Assistant-Commissioner said ,

      The similarity of the cases at Andovci . far as the conduct of the respective masters " ^ t , x' '< " ' > "s is striking ; and so is the contrast between the beiia \" ' of the Assistant-commissioner , Mr .

' .. _ ¦

      Andover , Saturday , Oct . 4 . The proceedings at the weekly meeting of the board of guardians to-day were both extraordinary and imi . or tant . The Rev . G . "W . Smythe , who is very ambitious of be . coming permanent chairman , presided in the absence of Mr . Dodson , who , with his vice , has resigned , and deserted the board altogether , Mr . Westlake said , he wished to bo allowed to make 8 few remarks in reference to a communication made to him respecting the present master , Price , who u-.-is recommended by the Commissioners , and specially recoiii . mended by Mr . Assistant-Commissioner Parker . From the communications received he hud been led to invest ! , gate the matter , considering it a duty he owed to the "imr . dians as well as to the poor . The evidence he had col . lected he would submit to them , that they might judgo whether Price was a fit and proper man to have tliccliar *<> of the poor for any time , however short .

      Mr . Westlake was scarcely allowed to finish this remark before he was attacked by Mr . L . Ly wood , Mr . , T . Vothe . cary , Mr . 1 ' . Loscombe , and others ; but particularly bj the chairman , Mr , Smythe , Mr . Lywood said , they had nothing to do with the w , m ' s previous character , and that the Assistant-Coimmssiontr , Mr . Parker , had sent Price strongly recommended , lie proposed that the subject should not be discussed . Mr . Fotheeary seconded that proposition . Mr . Smythe would not allow Mr . Westlake to read the evidence before the coroner at Oxford . With great warmth of temper he asked if Mr . Westlake ' s char- 'es affected Price's moral character , and was told they did . He also engaged to show the charges as they were arranged , and had been inquired into before the Pour haw Commissioners . Mr . Smythe objected to Mr . Westlake reading or showing the evidence , and imperiously said , he would have an answer to his questions without any referring , and that Mr . Westlake ought to know what the charges were .

      Mr . Westlake refused to give any answer but what lie could fully prove from the written evidence , as copied from the minutes of the guardians . Mr , C . Iloldway then remarked , that his report ought to be attended to , and that they were indebted ( o Mr . Westlake for any trouble he had taken to bring the facts for . ward . The Chairman was asked whether he did not consider Mr . Westlake bound , after this communication being made to him , to bring it before the board ? Mr . Smythe said , that he should object to answer that

      question . Mr . Soper proposed the following resolution : — " That it appears to this board , that the Poor Law Commissioner has recommended to the guardians Mr . Chas . I'rice as a fit person to be intrusted with the care and charge of the poor in the Andover workhouse , knowing that he was a most unfit person , by reason of his misconduct whilst master of the House of Industry at Oxford ; resolved , therefore , that the poor of this house be not continued in the charge of so improper a person . " Mr . II . Mundy seconded the resolution . A discussion ensued as to the propriety of calling in Price to give an explanation to the guardians , which , after a-warm debate , was decided in the affirmative by the chairman ' s vote , there being seven for calling in Price , and six opposed to it .

      The Chairman addressing Price , said , —I have a simple question to ask you ; were you master of the House of Industry at Oxlord ? Price—Yes . When did you leave ?—At Michaelmas last . "What was the cause of youv leaving ?—I did not like the old system , I wished to get into the new one . Did any inquiry take place respecting your conduct ?—No . Bid any inquiry take place ?—I think they talked of an inquiry . Did you leave on account of such an inquiry?—Xo ; I waited to see the result , and then resigned . Was there a coroner ' s inquest at the workhouse while you were master ?—No . The question was repeated , and pressed , when Price admitted that he thought there might have been . Was any censure ever passed upon you at a coroner '; inquest ?—Never , that I am aware of .

      Was this workhouse at Oxford under the control W direction of the Poor Law Commissioners!—No . Price , then , addressing the board , said , —Gentlemen , ! will now give you the reason why I left Oxford . The chairman , Mr . Grimble , was anxious to get rid of me , and put in my place his own father , which he did three weeks after I left , Price was ordered to retire , and , Mr . Smythe then put it to Mr . Soper whether lie would still press his resolution . Mr . Soper said . Vie should . Mr . F . Loscombe then proposed a resolution , to Hid effect that , the Poor Law Commissioners be imm ediately wiitten to , to ascertain if the several charges broug ht forward by Mr , Westlake against Price were true , and to request an investigation of them . The ori ginal resolution being withdrawn , l ' «"" " ' ment was adopted in its stead .

      One circumstance took place during the proceedings oi the day which ought not to bo lost sight of - . —A poor ragged little boy , aged 11 years , an o < i > Uau , living wit " his grandfather , an aged pauper of seventy-six , pa'seiucJ himself at the hoard , begging a pair of shoes w enable him to take a place offered him at Is . fid . per week if he could get shoes , and which unless he got , he must come into the house . A long discussion took p lace whetw the boy should have shoes , some of the guardians bctt ? for and others against . It was at last , by way of liieewj ? the difficulty , suggested that the boy should have an < rt forward

      pair ; when Mr . ° Mundy very manfully came , and said that even a new pair of the union shoes were very Hi tic value , not more than 3 s ., anil an old pair " " not be worth receiving , as no master would take the ) unless he had good shoes . Price , the temporary msj- < remarked that he considered it a bad principle wg ^ paupers anything new , as they generally , to 1 »» - ' ledge , pawned or sold the article given . Mr . Mil . marked that such an observation was unbecoming - uncalled for , and that the guardians bad been'oo ^ w ^ b compelled to listen to such observations api'l ' t 0 ; il who were ' perhaps , undeserving them , and wl 10 ' ' L wmj wei-tt pcvimys uuuesevMii ' o vnv : " ., » i
