" Tho various forms of bodily and mental weakness incapacity , suffering and disease , faithfully delineated id this oautiously written and praotical work , are almost unknown , generally misunderstood , and treated upon principles correspondingly erroneous and superficial , by the present race of medical practitioners . Hence the necessity for the publication of a timely safeguard , a silent yet friendly monitor , or , where debility has made threatening inroads , the means of escape and tho cortainty of restoration . The evils to which the book adverts are extensive and identical in their secret ynd hidden origin , and there are none to whom , as Parents , Guardians , Heads of Families , and especially of public Schools , is confided the cars of young people , who ought to remain for a moment devoid oi that information and those Balutary cautions this work is intended to convey . Not only are the most delicate forms of generative debility neglected by the family physician , but they require for their safe management the exclusive study of a life entirely abstracted from the routiuo of general practice , and ( as in other departments of the profession ) attentively concentrated in the daily and long continued observation requisite for the correct treatment of sexual infirmities . " If we consider the topics upon either in a moral or social view , we find the interests and welfare of mankind seriously involved . The effects of licentious , indiscriminate and secret indulgence in . certain practices , aro described with an accaracy and force which display at once profound reflection and extensive practical experience . "—The Planet . " The best of all friends is the Professional Friend and in no shape can he be consulted with greater safety and secrecy than in " Lucas on Manly Vigouh . " The initiation into vicious indulgenceits progress—its results in both sexes , are given with faithful , but alas ' . for human nature , with afflicting truth . However , the Authors have not exposed the evil without affording a remedy . It shows how " Manly Vigour" temporarily impaired , and mental and physical emasculation , produced by uncontrolled indulgence of the passions , can be restored ; how the sufferer , who has pined in anguish from the consequences oi early indiscretion—afraid almost to encounter his fellow ' man , can regain the vigour of health arid moral courage . The work is written in a concise and perspicuous style , displaying how often fond pareut 6 aredeceired by the outward physical appearance of their youthful offspring ; how the at tenuatiouoftho frame , patpitationofthe heart , derangement of the nervous system , cou ^ h , indigestion , and a train of symptoms indicative of consumption or general decay , are often ascribed to Wrong causes ; and instead of being the natural results of congenital debility or disease , are the consequences of an alluring and pernicious practice , alike destructive to the mind and body . "—Bell's New Weekly Messenger . " Although a newspaper is not the ordinary channel for the expression of opinion upon the merits of a medical work , this remark is open to exception in any instance where , the public , and not the isolated uud exclusive members of the profession , are the parties addressed . Upon that which is directed to men indiscriminately , the world will form its own opinion , and will demand that medical works for popular study should be devoid of that mysterious technicality in which the science of medicine has hitherto shrouded its own ignorance . The work before us treatB of subjects we believe generatly , yet very strangely , neglected by the medical attendant , and requiring doubtlessly ( as in operative midwifery a . td the eurgery of the tye ) an entire devotednoss to , a deeply important , branch of study . The tone of this book is highly : moral , and it abounds in wellwritten , harrowing , yet correct displays of the suffering sonsequeivt upon unbridled sensualism . No human being caa be the worse for its perusal ; to multitudes it must prove a warning beacon , a welltold appeal to reason , a permanent blessing . It is written in a clear intelligible style , and is evidently the production of a mind long and practically conversant with tbe diseases ot the most delicate division of the human organization . "—The Magnet , " The security of happiness in the marriage state is the chief anxicy ot all ; but many dread entering upon wedded union , through a secret fear of unfitness for the discharge of matrimonial obligations . This essay is most particularly addressed to all suffering under a despondency of the oharaoter alluded to ; and advice will be found calculated to cheer the drooping heart , and point the way to renovated health .

Wi having devoted his studies for many years exclusively to the various diseases of the generative and nervous system , in the removal of those distressing debilities arising from a secret indulgence in a delusive and destructive habit , and to the successful treatment of venereIl and syphilitic diseases , Continues to be consulted from nine in the morning till ten at night , and on Sundays till two , —and country patients requiring his assistance , by making only one personal visit , will receive such advice and medicines as' will enable them to obtain a permanent and effectual cure , when all other means have failed . In recent cases of a certain disorder a perfect care is completed in one week , or no charge made for medicine after that period , and in those oases where other practitioners have failed , a perseverance in his plan , without restraint" in diet , or hindrance from business , will ensure to the patient a permanent and radical cure . A complete knowledge of the symptoms and treatment of these insidious and dangerous diseases , can onl y be acquired by those who are in daily practice , and have previously gone through a regular course of Medical Instruction ; for , unfortunately , there the hundreds who annually fall victims to the ignorant use of [ Mercury and other dangerous remedies , administered by illiterate men , who ruin' the constitution by suffering disease to get into the system , which being ] carried by tha circulation of the blood into all parts of the body , the whole frame becomes tainted withjvenereal poison , and most unhappy consequences ensue , at one time affecting the skin , particularly [ the head and face , with eruptions and ulcers , closely resembling , and often treated as scurvy , at another period producing the most violent pains in the limbs ] and bones , which are frequently mistaken for rheumatism ; thus the whole frame becomes debilitated and decayed , and a lingering death puts a period to their dreadful sufferings . , , What a grief for a young person in the very prime of life , to be [ snatched out of time , and from all the enjoyments of life , by a disease always local at first , and which never proves fatal if properly treated , as all its fatal results are owing either to neglect or ignorance .

" Northern Star Office , Leeds , March 17 th , l ( to cc entlemen , —You will oblige by forwaidin » ,. \ I yonr earliest convenience , the same 0 *** $ of PARR'S LIFE PILLS as last sent . « | am writing I cannot refrain from communicating tk nattering intelligence of the great goodyouxrijs ! doing in Leeds and its neighbourhood . It i 8 $ Jfi a great error to find fault with a medicine S because it is a patent one ; and more esBecUrr since its use has contributed so largely to tieifotr health . The fact is , however , predjudice if fw giving way , as it always must where ( he $ uW 1 tried . A few cases in point may serve to con& »¦ ¦ and illustrate what I have asserted . ^^ " A yoang female came into the shop to-day f fl » box , who stated that they had done her nsmen « - good . She had been troubled with a hoarseS !! bad that no one could hear her speak ; but ta » L taken a few boxes of PARR'S LIFE PILLS ? , was completely restored , as was evident by the ' in . Bhespoke > ' "Very many cases of extraordinary cureskT occurred among the aged workpeople ) , both mala and female .

The old people continue to take % » % regularly in small quantities , and find them aaje ^ sary to their health and prosperity as their dailt food . ¦ " The next and last case which I shall mention at this time , is one of a most extraordinary naftie , I have not seen the individual myself , but I shall a ' va you the fact as I have received it from hia emplpjei and from Mr . J . Hobson , who has frequenil ; sees him since his convalesence . The man is a working mechanic and had spent about thirty pounds last year on the doctor , in going to the Isleof Man&mj other places , for the benefit of his health , bat to co purpose . His food had consisted for a long lime of nothing bat rice milk , the stomach refusing to take anything stronger . His body was greatly emaciated and his temporal prospects clouded ; with a mind filled with melancholy forebodings for the future , he returned to his friends at Leeds , where he was told by his medical adviser that should he be restoredt little , bis disorder would have its periodical return ¦ but being advised to try PARR'S LIFE PILLS , ' he bought a few boxes , which have completel y removed his disease , and enabled him to return to hia work , where he was seen a few days ago" by Ifr , Hobson , ( it being dinner hour ) eating ' beef-steab with great gusto ; aud to whom he recited with piessure and gratitude the cause of his' then healthy coadition , together with a long history of hia past affliction " Should the above three cases of cures be worthy of your notice , you are at perfect liberty to make what use of them you think proper . I am , Gentlemen , yours , respectfully , " WILLIAM HICK . " To Messrs . T . Roberts and Co ., 9 , Crane Court Fleet-street , London . " MIKACULOUS CURE FROM THE USE OF FAHB ' S LIPS PILLS . Copy of a Letter just received by the Proprietors from Mr . Wm . Moat , 3 , Cobbett-street , Shaw ' s Brow , Salford . M To the Proprietors of Parr ' s LifePilli " Gentlemen , —I have the utmost pleasure is forwarding you this my own case of cure , effectedsole ! i by the persevering use of your Park ' s Liee Pols . Before having recourse to them , I had been for up . wards of five years afflicted with a most distressing malady , which the different medical men who attended me all pronounced to be a serious cased hydrocele ( or dropsy of the scrotum ) , and declared there was no other chance of either relief or curs than undergoing a surgical operation ; I was ibis driven almost to despair ; and consulted the treatise written by Sir Astley Cooper , wherein he states tint the operation is generally attended with considerable danger . I therefore determined not to risk so painful and uncertain an experiment , but rather chose M leave the result to nature and Providence . Fortunately , I heard of the great fame of Parr ' s Life Pills , and resolved to give them a fair trial . I consequently took them for some time without peicefr ing any benefit , but still kept persevering ; sni 1 have now taken twelve boxes , and to my great joj I am perfectly well , the dropsy is entirely remOTed , together with a scorbutic affection , which 1 had been much troubled with since my return from India in 1827 ; and now there is not a vestige of disease left in my whole system , as I am now in better health and spirits than I have been for fourteen years . I feel certain you would have accounts of far more cures , if peoplfl would persevere in the use of tha pills a proper length of time , as I have done . I gjw you my heartfelt thanks , and authority to publish this letter , and will gladly answer any applications either personally or by letter , and remain your grateful and obliged servant .

A very animated disenssion then took place , -which was elicited by a resolution brought forward by

      the Stockport delegate , and -which , -was coached in the following terms— " That ire , the delegates , do repre sent to the people . the necessity ! of immediately elect ing a new Executive . " The following amendment was then proposed by Mr . NuttaU , one of the delegates for Carpenter ' s Hall— " That -we , tie South Lancashire delegates , having taken into our most serious consideration the present disorganised state of the Association , and toe evil effects likely to result from oar having no recognised Executive , do most respectfully suggest the propriety of a Conference being holden in Birmingham , { that town being most central , ) jon the 17 th of July rest , for the purpose of reconsidering the plan of organization , and making such alterations as will render it less ambiguous , and better calculated to promote

      the interests of tie Association ;> nd in order to give each locality an opportunity of expressing their sentiments , we recommend the propriety of proceeding forthwith to the election of delegates to attend the said conference , and at the same time give those who may be elected such instructions as will enable them faithfully to represent the opinions of their constituents , both as Tegards any alterations that may be necessary in the plan of organisation , or arrangements requisite to ihe formation of a new and efficient Executive to watch over the interests of the Association generally . " The amendment , being seconded , was , after a great deal of discussion , agreed to , and the original resolution lost . The following resolutions were then agreed to almost unanimously—*• That we , the delegates ef

      South Lancashire , recommend county council meetings to fee called as early as ] possible , throughout the whole country , to nominate proper persons to oe elected at public meetings ^ for the purpose of representing each county in a Rational Conference , to be held on the 17 ih of July , fin lie town of Birmingham . " That a lecturer be appointed to agitate the South Lancashire District , the said lecturer to commence his labours ou tha 3 rd of July . " " That the sum of 30 s . per week be paid from the South Lancashire fund , as a remuneration for his services . " " That Mr . Jamea Xeacb be the person appointed to sustain the office of lecturer for this division of the county . " "That Id . per month be levied upon each member ihroxghout the various localities in this district , for the purpose of supporting the lecturer . " " That the local lecturers' plan be discontinued for one month . " " That Messrs . Taylor , Grecott , and

      Dixon , be appointed to draw up Mr .

'' " That a special meeting of the delegates be holden in the Brown-street Room , on Sunday the 2 nd of July , at one o ' clock in the afternoon , the delegates to come prepared with tbe opinions of their constituents as to the men they think best calculated to be pat in nomination for the forthcoming ; Conference . " After some other business had been transacted , andavete « f thanks accorded to the ^ ftirrpnin , the meeting adjourned te that day fortnight , having been in dose deliberation nearly five hours . We are glad to say that the utmost good feeling pervaded { the whole proceedings ; and each delegate seemed determined to make Chartism what it ouaht to be—a terror to tyrants , and a bulwark against oppression and injustice .

" In eloquent and energetic language he depleted the present evils of society , and pointed in glowing language to a happier future to be produced by ; the united exertions of Democratic Reformers , whom ! he called upon in earnest terms to press forward in the good cause .

Mr . ii 'Frederick in a neat and appropriate speech moved the istiesolution , " That this meetitg hold it to be right of the Irish people to be governed by their own Parliament ; bnt yet we remain convinced that the mere ; establishment ct a Parliament in Ireland or any other country , will not give national freedom or juBt Government unless the election of that Parliament rests with the whole people . " Mr . Mills ably seconded the resolution which was carried wlthnut a sirgle dissentient . Mr . Bolwell in a Ion ; and energetic address moved the next resolu

      tion , as follows : That this meeting -views with strong feelings ^ of indignation , the tyrannical and unconstitutional aisanning of the people of Ireland by the Arms Bill ; considering it a base attempt to lay the people bound at the feet of a blood-seeking aristocracy , and to leave the means ef defending life ; and property in the hands of a blood stained faction only : this meeting therefore pledges itself to make oommon cause with the people of Ireland ; and will deem * every man a disgrace to his country that aids the tyrante to carry out their uDJust Goerdon Acts . " Mr . D . M'Garthy ably seconded the resolution 'which was unanimously agreed to . — Mr . Mantz moved the following ! resolution , — " That this meeting views with mingled feelings of sorrow and regret ibeeondnetof certain of the Irish agitators

      inrefuairjg the aid oftheChartistpublic ; consideringtbat it is calculated to rouse the prejudices of the working people of the two countries ; but notwithstanding this refusal , we are determined to -use all means in our power , both legal and moral , to assist the people of Ireland in carrying s Repeal of the Union . " Mr . Brown , in an eloquent and impressive manner , which toid well , seconded the resolution . Mr . Dwaine , the chairman , made some excellent remarks , and averred , that although , as Repealers , they were bound to abide by tue orders from Dublin , ana not to reeeVve Chartists into their ranks , yet they baa received no orders not to attend and co eperate at meetings got up by the Chartists . He regretted exceedingly the mandate issued from Dab'in , but trusted that it would soon die away . The conduct of the Chartists on that and

      ether occasions -would have a great tendency to produce that effect . While the Chartists continued to pursue the course th » y ha * hitherto done , they thould have bis cordial co-operat ion . If errors had been committed , it was their duty , as men and as Christians , when these errors Were xetraeed , to overlook and forget the past . He would ask , where was the political body which had ^ ot committed errors ? MrJ D . then alluded to other questions connected with the Repeal agitation , and sat down loudly cheered . The resolution was agreed to unannnoasly . Mr . Rathbone , in a neat speech , moved a vote of thinks to ' the chairman , which was seconded by Mr . Man-z . and carried by acclama tion . The meeting was an excessively crowded one ; the stairs , and every avenue to the rooms being filled , and during the whole evening the greatest unanimity prevailed .

      Supposed Mubdkr Twentt-fodh Years Ago . —; The inhabitants of the village of Greatham , nearj Stockton , were recently alarmed by the discovery of ; a female ' s skeleton under the paved floor of the workshop of Mr . Hopper , a joiner . From the posi-j iion-in which the skeleton was found » it appeared ; thatthe body must have been completely aoubled ' together , and not been more than 16 inches under < thesuiface . Information baying been given to th ; oj autborities , Saperintendent BelVand Sergeant . Fergus were immediately sent to make inquiries , and they } learned that an old woman , named Rebecca Oliver , who travelled round the country with a basket , was ! missed about 2 4 years ago from her home at Greatham , Where she then resided . In consequence , how-1 ever , of her occasionally leaving her residence for a : considerable time' together , no inquiries were ever made after her , until this discovery was made . It

      also appeared in evidence from several witnesses examined , that this old woman was on in ti mate terms I with a person named Appleby , who slept under the same roof with her , and frequently accompanied her in her country excursions . A stiTere quarrel having at length taken place between thorn , they s 6 on after parted . Afraid then to live by "herself , lest he should return and treat her ill , his place was supplied by a person of similar character , named Brown , who lived with her in the same house , not more than thirty yards from where the body was found ; Hence suspicion naturally arose that the skeleton found was that of the unfortunate woman . An inquest has been held ; the jury gave it as their opinion that the evidence adduced was insufficient to prove the identity of the body , or by W-heznitho supposed murder had been commuted , and a verdict was returned to that effect .

      Rebecca and her Daughters . —The lawless depredators , known by the name of Rebecca and her daughters , appear not only gradually to increase in power and influence in Carmarthenshire , but it is prettyisnre , that if they continue to progress in the same ratio as they have done during the last few weeks , civil power , as far as local authority goes , will be completely Bubjugated , if , indeed , it be not already . Their proceedings on Monday last affords a striking instance of daring , and even success in setting ; the civil authority at defiance . On the day following the destruction of the Water-street-gate at Carmarthen , three men , named Thomas , Harries , and Boweu ^ passed through the gate , or rather through the apertuie wheie the gate had previously

      been , refusing to pay toll . The toll-collector summoned them before the magistrates , to whom they saidihat Rebecca had given them notice not to pay . They were fined in the penalty of 40 s each , and costs , which Inot having been paid , a distress warrant against their goods was issued . Some bailiffs and constables were sent to execute the distress warrant , but the offices were summarily ordered by Rebecca ' s disciples to return , which they readily did . The magistrates , determined to enforce the law , * ¦ ' swore in" about thirty pensioners as speoial constables , who , together with a number of policemen , bailiffs , &c , proceeded on Monday last to execute the warrant . They succeeded in making the distraint with little or no molestation : bat ere they had proceeded

      a quarter of a mile with their booty , the leud sound of a trumpet assembled an immense concourse , amounting to several hundreds of Rebecca ' s daughters , some of whom had their faces blackened . They immediately compelled the constables to deliver up tbe goods , together with all the fire-arms and other weapons of defence in their possession . They then proceeded to demolish a wall , belonging to Mr . Daviesjof Trawsmwr , a magistrate , for the county , who had offended them , and they gave the con&tttblea and police their choice , either to assist them iu demolishing the wall , or run tho risk of being stripped and sent to town naked . The officers made choice of the former alternative . We understand that about forty additional special constables have been since sworn in . —Cambrian .
