The affliction has been so severe that she could not fulfil her usual domestic obligations . She took cold when only 15 years old , and the cough never left her till she took Parr ' s Life ' Pills . She had tried almo 3 t every kind of medicine , and had taken Laudanum in large quantities but nothing afforded relief .

The Work is embellished with Engravings , representing the deleterious influence of Mercury on the external appearance of the skin , by eruptions on the head , face , and body ; to which aro added very extensive observations on sexual debility , seminal weakness , and impotency , brought on by a delusive habit , all its attendant sympathies and dangerous consequences considered , with the most approved mode of treatment and cure , without confinement or interruption from business , the whole accompanied by explanatory engravings , with general instructions for the perfect restoration of those who are incapacitated from entering into the holy state of Marriage , by the evil consequences arising from early abuse , or syphilitic infection . This invaluable Work will be secretly inclosed with each bos of Perry ' s Purifying Specific Pills , ( Price 2 s . 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d ., and Us . ) and the Cordial Balm of Syriacum ( Price 11 s . and 333 . per bottle ) , and is pointed out to suffering humanity as a Silent Friend , to be consulted without exposure , and with assured confidence of success . PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS , Price 2 s . 9 d ., 4 s . ( id ., and 11 s . per Box , are well known throughout Europe and America , to be the most certain and effectual cure ever discovered for every stage and symptom of the Venereal Disease , in both sexes , including Gonorrhoea , Gleets , Secondary Symptoms , Strictures , Seminal Weakness , Deficiency , and all diseases of the Urinary Passages , without loss of time , confinement , or hindrance from business . They have effected the most surprising cures , not only in recent and severe cases , but when salivation and all other means have failed ; and wh

These Pills ar « mild and effectual in their operation , without mercury , « r mineral , and require no restraint in -diet , loss of time * or hindrance fro * business : possessing th * power of eradicating every symptom of the disease in its worst stage , with ** the least exposure to the patient ; they are particularly recownended to be taken before persons entar into the matrimonial state , lest the indiscretions « f a parent are the source of vexation to him the remainder of his existence , by afflicting his innocent but unfortunate offspring with the evil eruptions of a malignant tendency and a variety of other complaints that are most assuredly introduced by the same neglect and imprudence . It is only by purifying tha vital stream from insidious disease , that the body ean be preserved ia health and vigour . Hence the infinit * variety of complaints an infected state of the blood induces , and hence the new and deceptive forms a taintea habit puts on , which often deceive the most eminent of the faculty , and baffle the best intentions towards a cure . In those disorders wherein salivation has left th * patient uncured , weak , and disheartened , and when no other remedy could restore the unhappy sufferer to that health which he has unfortunately lost , the Purifying Specific Pills will be found the only effectual and radical remedy ; and have ever been successful , though administered in many desperate cases of Evil , Scurvy , and Leprosy , as well as removing Pimples from th » Face , Sore Legs , or other disagreeable Eruptions on the head , face , and body .

Medicines can be forwarded to any part of the world ; no difficulty can occur , is they will be securely packed , and carefully protected from observation . THE CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM is intended to relieve those persons , who , by aa immoderate indulgence of their passions , have ruined their constitutions , or in their way to the consummation of that deplorable state are affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach , as the various affections of the nervous systen , obstinate gleets , excesses , irregularity , obstructions , weaknesses , total impotency , barrenness , ice . A perseverance in its use has been ths happy means of relieving many thousands , and of restoring a gre at number to the permanent enjeyment of life . It is remarkable for its efficacy in all disorders ot the digestive organs , and is especially recommended to those , who , from the irregularities of youthful age , habits of studious application , or a life of pleasure , have fallen into a despondent state of mind , and that distressing train of symptoms commonly denominated the nervous . In such perso > s the mental are not less enfeebled than the corporeal , and to them a remedy that acts with efficacy , without interfering with domestic habits , is peculiarly desirable .

      MEDICAL ADYICE . MESSRS . WILKINSON AND CO . SURGEONS , No . 13 , Trafalgar-street , Leeds . HAVING devoted their Studies exclusively for many years to the successful treatment of the Venereal Disease , in all its various forms ; also , to the fri g htful consequences resulting from that destructive practice , "Self Abuse , " may be Personally Consulted from Nine in the Morning till Ten at Night , and on Sundays till Two . Attendance every Thursday at No . 4 , Georgestreet , Bradford , ( from Ten till Fire . ) In recentcases a perfect Cure is completed within a Week , or no Charge made for Medicine after that period , and Country Patients , by making only one personal visit , will receive 3 uch Advice and Medicines that will enable them to obtain a permanent and effectual Cure , when all other means hate failed . Theyhopethat the successful , easy , and expeditious modetheyhaveadoptedjOferadicatingeverysymptom of a certain disease , without any material alteration in diet , or hindrance of business , and yet preserving tho constitution in full vigour , and free from injury , will establish their claims for support . As this Disease is one which is likely to be contracted whenever exposure takes place , it is not like many other visitors , once in life , but , on the contrary , one infection may scarcely have been removed , when another may unfortunately be imbibed ; thereforef the practitioner requires real judgment in order V treat each particular case in such a manner as not merely to remove the present attack , but to preserve the constitution unimpaired , in case of a repetition at no distant period . Tho man of experience can ayail himself of the greatest improvements in modern practice , by being able to distinguish between discharges of a specific and of a simple or mild nature , which can only be made by one in daily practice , after due consideration of all circumstances ^ In the same manner at birth , appearances often take place in children , which call for a propel knowledge and acquaintance with the disease , in order to discriminate their real nature , and which may be the means of sowing domestic discord , unle 33 managed by the Surgeon with propriety and skill . Patients labouring under this disease , cannot be too cautious into whoso hands they commit themselves . The propriety of this remark is abundantly manifested , by the same party frequently passing the ordeal of several practitioners , before he is fortunate enough to obtain a perfect cure . The following are some of the many symptoms that distinguian this disease : —A general debility ; eruption on the head , face , and body ; ulcerated sore throats , scrofula , swellings in the neck , nodes on the shin bones , cancers , fistula , pains in the head and limbs , which are frequently mistaken for rheumafisffli &c . &c . Messrs . W . and Cc . ' s invariable rule is to give a Card-to each of their patients , as a guarantee for Cure , which they pledge themselves to perform , or return the fee .

Patrick Biggins , of Sligo , requesting Star light in that quait « r , they having no press to speak out their grievances , which are many , and declaring iir . O'Connell to be not the advocate of tke Irish rights , but to have compromised the people ' s liberties for patronage and place for his friends and family . This speaks well , coming from that qairter . From Mr . T .

      Clarke , of Stockport , requesting to be enrolled a member ; and from Richard RDaninie , Esq ., Cork , congratulating the Association upon the progress it is ' TTmying in promoting the principles of reil liberty , and stating that he was qnite at a loss to tapw who the . O'Higgins was who had ths temerity to institute a Chartist Association in Dablin , and braTe . ill the fury of Dan and kis myrmidons , until he saw his excellent i letter in the Weekly Rtffisitr , which explained all and i reminded him that it was the same O'Higgins who ac- ; oompanied their ever-mourned friend , the immortal ] Cobbett on his tour throngh Munster , in 1834 .

Can any man doubt now that tbf i £ § m& VJti object of the English Poor Law

      Untitled Article

      Amendment Act was to force the working classes of England to live on coarser food t Little they know of what is in store for them . An attempt will soon be made to force them to live on " lumpers , " a kind of potato upon which the Irish labourers are obliged te live , although the very pigs will not eat them when they can get any other sort Mr . O'Higgins said that he should then bring before the meeting Ui 6 motion of ¦ which he had given notice on that day fortnight In doing so , or rather in discharging a public duty , which was by no means a pleasant one , but the Terr reverse , he should not enter into a lengthened account of the evidence which Mr . O'Connell gave before a Committee of the House of Lords on the subject of the disfranchisement of the forty-shilling freeholders . In his ( Mr .

      O'Higgins ) opinion , it would have been wiser in Mr . O'Connell to have let that evidence sleep . His account of the char&cter , the rank and station , and the motives which influenced the Irish Catholic priesthood to enter the Church is really incredible . How he can face them , and praise them , and cajole them now , is matter of amassment . It is really imcredible . Who would imagine that Mr . O'Connell would have stated in that evidence to which he has recently directed public attention , and which has formed the subject of the resolution which he , Mr . O'Higgins , should submit to the consideration of the meeting , that the Irish Catholic priests were the sons of a low class of Irishmen , whose first step to an advancement in the world was to get their eldest sons into the church ; and that it was the

      duty of the Government to take means to secure the loyalty of the Irish Catholic clergy by a golden link from the Crown ; that is to say , to be paid by the state , to be subject to the whims of that purest of princes , that pattern of virtue , that best of fathers and best of husbands , King George IV . This evidence contains a mass of information which , when published , will really astonish those who had no knowledge of it heretofore . The evidence against the Irish nriesthood is dated the 11 th of March , 182 S . and is to be found at page & in the Report Surely , this will not be considered as abuse of Mr . O'Connell taken from Orange papers . Will Mr . O'Connell venture to say that this report is not true ? Will he charge the House of Lords or the House of Commons with the crime of giving to the world a false report © f hia evidence ? If he do ,

      I solemnly wain him , beforehand , of the consequences . Mr . O'Higgins concluded by moving the resolution : — " That although the members of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association have no wish to entangle Daniel O'Connell , Esq ., M . P ., in a dilemma , nor to add to his mental agonies or embarrassments , but on the contrary , they feel a most a&xious desire to assist in relieving him from the difficulties in which be has involved himself by his publidy acknowledged desertion of those principles to which he says ha is pledged by an oath ; yet , they cannot conceal the astonishment and the regret with which they hsvo read a speech of Mr . O'Connell's in the Dablin papers , of the 23 rd ultimo , in which he repudiates the doctrine of Universal Suffrage , and declares it to be absurd and ridiculous ; and calumniatts its advosates , while in the very same speech he

      says—* When I was examined before a committee of the House of Lords on the subject of a forty shilling franchise , I stated there , on my oalh , that the remedy for the franchise would be the conceding of Universal Suffragt . I am the only public man in the British dominions who is bound by oath the doctrine of Universal Suffrage . ' Now , he knows , right weii , that the meaning of Universal Suffrage in 1825 , and before tuat period , was precisely the same as it is now , namely , that every male inhabitant of Great Britain and Ireland , of twentyone years of age , of sane mind , and not convicted by a Jury of a felonious offence , should have the right to

      vote at the election of a Mem oar oi Parliament As the sworn testimony of Mr . O'Connell in 1 S 25 , in favour of Universal Suffrage , cannot be reconciled to his present denunciation of it , and of all those who relied upon his oath and acted upon it . We leave this contradic tory testimony between himself and his Creator in the hope that his conscience may one day or other prompt him to adhere to his oath . " Mr . Thos . Wood , seconded the motion in a very eloquent and energetic speech of considerable length ; after which eleven new members were admitted , and notice for the admission of several others given , when the meeting separated highly gratified at the prospect now before them in the city of Dublin .

      ABERDEEN . —On Friday evening , the 16 th inst ., a grand jubilee was held in the Temperance Hall , George-street , in honour of Feargus O'Connor , Esq . Seven hundred and thirty sat at tea , and the evening was spent in such hilarity and good humour as will cause it to be remembered as one of the kappiest nights of Scotia ' s sons . The Chairman of the evening was Mr . il'Pherson , comb manufacturer , whose easy and happy turn of mind gave a Zrot of pleasantness which charmed the whole auuitnee . The speeches of the Chartist leaders on the platform were excellent and very far surpassed for soundness of matter and vivid flashes of wit , those of any previous meeting . On the whole , Chartism at no former period shone so brightly in Aberdeen as it now does , tnd in this instance tha company separated regretting nothing so much as that time hid winged its way so rapidly .

      Grasd Demossttvaiios ash O ? i . > ' Air Meeting . —On Saturday evening laBt , a meeting was advertised to be keld on the Inches at half-past five o'clock . Long before the appointed time great numbers from all quarters of the city were seen travelling to the spot , and by the time advertised , thousands were on the gTound . At eight o ' clock the chair was taken by Mr . M'Pherson who opened the business in a manly and straightforward speech . Mr . Smart addressed the immense crowd on the by-gone sufferings of Mr . O'Couaer , and the bright prospects which would result to the cause of Chartism by his liberation , and concluded a neat and forcible speech , by proposing the following resolution : — " That this meeting hail with pleasure and delight , the release of their l » ng-tried and faithful

      friend Feargus O'Connor , from the dungeon of our common oppressors , and we pledge ourselves , while he goes unarmed demanding liberty for the enslaved millions with such bravery and unshaken fortitude , we will stand by him , or fall wiii him in the struggle , and that this meeting highly approve the conduct of the Charter Union , in having invited Mr . O'Connor to visit Aberdeen . " The resolution was seconded by Mr . D mean Nicholson . He dwelt at great length on what Mr . O'Connor had done foi working men ; what he had suffered for them , and what in all probability he might still suffer even to life itself , and in conclusion , aroused the congregated thousands to ajsense of that injustice which had been too long practised npon them , and which had been altogether occasioned by their own apathy in not demanding redress . The second resolution was moved by Mr . John Legge , in a speech of great

      force . It was " That it is the opinion of the meeting that although the Parliament as presently constituted , be not the representatives of the people , jot eo hai :-j can possibly accrue to ua by demanding our rights through the slavish door left open by petition . I herefore this meeting approve ol again petitioning the representatives of the aristocracy aad money jobbers , in Parliament assembled , to enact or cause to be enacted into law tbat document entitled ' the People ' s Chitter " , and that the said petition contain an earnest prsv ( . r f-r the immediate restoration of Mess ! 3 . Frost , Williams , md Jones ; and the liberation of all our Ciartist brethren presently confined in the common gaois throughout Great Britain . " The resolution veatriefly seconded by Mr . Joseph Ro-well anri carritj unanimously . Mr . Kichardson , editor of the iJaudic Chronicle , next addressed the meeting , and spu-ice -with great ability . The meeting shur ; K afterwards separated .

Brothers in Bondage , —You no doubt feel the hand of oppression as vrell as those who now , through the columns of the Northern Slar , address you . You , the producers of wealth , are suffering all the miseries of slow starvation , while those who produce nothing are fattening upon the produce of your labour .

      Look around you , which way you will , l&siness and luxury meet you on one hand , while slavery and misery meet you on the other . Why should this be ? Is it our fault that numbers are out of employment ? No , but through the workings of machinery the great manufacturers are enabled to do the work of many hands ; the men of coarse not being wanted are discharged : consequently , machinery , which otherwise would be a blessing , has , through bad Government and class legislation , become a curse . Are we not willing to work ? We answer for ourselves we are , but not willing to slave from morning till night , when we know that the profits of our labour are squandered away on a useless class .

      Fellow-men , how is this state of things to be brought to a close ! We answer , by uniting together to obtain the People ' s Charter , without which we are convinced M-e can never hope to better our condition . We therefore respectfully request your attendance on Monday evening in each week , to co-operate with us in our endeavours to obtain for the working classes their emancipation from their present degrading position . J . Moore , sub-Secretary .
