' $ $ » This Work is undeniably the most interesting an df important that has hitherto been published on this subject , imparting information which , ought to be in the possession of every one who is labouring under any secret infirmity , whether male or female . : BY M . WILKINSON , 1 CONSULTING SURGEON , &q . 13 , Trafalgar Street , Leeds . Of whom they may be obtained , or from any of his Agents . MR . M . W . 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 afdelusive and destructive habit , and to it he huccessful treatment of VENEREAL 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 hia 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 oases of a certain disorder a perfect cure is completed is 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 aad radical cure . A complete knowledge of the symptoms and treatment of these insidious and dangerous diseases , can only be acquired by those who are in daily practice , andlhave previously gone through a regular course of Medical Instruction ; for , unfortunately , there are hundreds who annually fall victims to the ignorant ubo 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 the circulation of the blood into : all parts of the "body ] , the whole frame becomes tainted With venereal poison , and most unhappy consequences ensue , at one time affecting the skin , particularly the head and face , with eruptions and ulcers * olosely resembling ! , and often treated as scurvy , at another period producing the most violent pains in the limbs and bonesJ 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 resultB are ( owing either to neglect or ignorance . Mr . VV . 's invariable rule is to give a Card to each of hia Patients as a guarantee for cure , which he pledges himself to perform , or return his fee .

      BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS . Further Testimonials of the Efficacy of this Medicine , TO MR . PROUT , 229 , STRAND , LONDON , Frimiey , near Bagshot , Surrey , April 28 , 1843 , QIR , —I enclose three cases in whioh the parties O therein named have received great benefit from using Blair's Pills , and the truth of which I am at any time ready to make affidavit of if required . You are at perfect liberty to publish them if you think proper . Hoping this may ' induce the incredulous to make a trial of the Pills , which will speedily convince them of their value . I am , Sir , yours truly , JOHN J . GILES . Pirbright , April 23 , 1843 . Deah'Sir ,- —Upon your recommendation I sent for a box of Blair ' s Rheumatic Pills , and to my astonishment ! a few doses entirely removed the tormenting pains my wife had suffered so loner , but having caught a severe cold the rheumatism again returned , when having recourse to a few more Pills , it again fled , and has not since returned . The public are not geaerally aware of the efficacy of this truly valuable medicine ^ or few would suffer from rheumatism . Inconsequence of witnessing the effects of the above medicine in my own family , I recommended Edward Bridger , now sixty-seven years of age , a labourer and jobbing gardener , to apply to you , he being affiioted with rheumatism for twenty years ; he could scarcely get any sleep , being always worse when in bed , and unable to walk without the assistance ] of a stick . You gave him some Pills . I saw him yesterday ; he told me he could new get rest , which he had been unable to do for a very long time , ibe is still lame from the length of time he has been [ afflicted , but can now walk without much inconvenience ten or twelve-miles in the day , and can , as he ! says , do any light work ; he has applied to me for a job at hoeing . ^ It is distressing to see a fellow-creature suffering such excruciating pain , when relief can be obtained by taking Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills . I shall , for the benefit of those : who may suffer , continue to recommend them * 1 I am , dear Sir , johtb truly » To John J . Giles , Esq ., GEO . 1 NNW 00 D .

" The varions forms of bodily and mental weakness incapacity , suffering and disease . faittafully delineated in this cautiously written and practical 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 land the certainty of restoration-The evils to which the book adverts are extensive and identical in iheir secret ynd hidden origin , and there are none to whom , as Parents , Guardians , Heads of Families ^ and especially of public Schools , is confided the care of young people , who ought to remain for a moment devoid of that inform&uou and those salutary 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 routine of generallpractice , 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 oi mankind seriouelyj involved . The effects of licentious , indiscriminate and secret indulgence in certain practices , are described with an accuracy 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 andjsecrecy than in " Lucas on Manly Vipoua . " The initiation into vicious indulgenceits progress—its results in both sexes , are giveo with faithful , but alas ! j for human nature , with afflicting truth . However , the Authors toave 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 of early [ indiscretion—afraid almost to encounter his fellow man , can regain the vigour of health and moral courage . The work is written in a conoise and perspicuous style , displaying how often fond parents aredticeived by the outward physical appearance of their yjouthful offspring ; how the attenuation of the frame , palpitation of the heart , derangement of the nervous system , cough , 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 % New Weekly Messenger . " Although a newspaper is not the ordinary ohannel for the expression of opinion upon the merits of a medical work , tnis remark is open to exception in any instance where the public , and not the isolated and exclusive members of the profession , are the parties addressed ] Upon that which 1 b 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 . Tho work before us treats ofjsubjecta we believe generally , yet very strangely , neglected by the medical attendant , and requiring doubtlessly ( as in operative midwifery and the surgery of j the eye ) an entire devoted ness 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 tbe suffering « onseq > -. entTupon unbridled sensualism . No human being can be the worse for its perusal ; to multitudes it must prove a warning beacon , a welltold appeal to reason , a permanent blessing .

      LETTER FROM MR . WM . HICK , tfOB . THERN STAR OFFICE , LEEDS f ———• . " Northern Star Office , Leeds , March 17 th , 1842 . f Crientlemen , —Yon will oblige by forwarding ^ at IT your earliest convenience , the same : quantity of PARR'S IilFE PILLS as last sent . While 1 am writing I cannot refrain from communicating the flatteringjntelligence of the great good your pilft are doing in Leeds and Its neighboarhood . It is clearly a great error to find fault with a medicine merely because it is a patent one ; and more especially since its use has contributed so largel y to the public health . Tbe fact is , however , predj'idice isi fast giving way , as it always must where the pills ' are tried . A few cases in point may serve to confirm and illustrate what I have asserted . " A young female came into the shop to-day for a box , who stated that they had done her immense food . Ske had been troubled with a hoarseness so ad that no one could hear her speak ; bat having taken a few boxes of PARR'S LIFE PILLS , she was completely restored , as was evident by the way she spoke"Viery many oases of extraordinary cures haye occurred among the aged workpeople , both male and female . In one mill , an aged couple , enfeebled by disease and debilitated by premature old age , had become almost past work ; they were persuaded to try a few boxes of PARR'S LIFE PILLS , andin a week were restored and strengthened that they could pursue their employment "with pleasure and profit ; so much bo , that from being unable to work at their caUing moretban two days itvtbe Yn » k , and this with great physical difficulty and languor , they can now nofc only do a full week ' s work , bttt over > faours besides . Bad as trade is here , the old people being favourites with the mill owner , are enabled to get as much employment as they can do , which has exoited the envy of those younger persons who had been employed in their absence ; and it is a laughable laot , that Parr ' s Pills tsome in for a share of their rancour . The old people continue to take the pills regularly in small quantities , and find them as necessary to their health and prosperity as their daily food , " The next and last case which I shall mention at this time , is one of a most extraordinary nature . I have not seen the individual myself , but I shall give you the fact as I have received it from his employers and from Mr . J . Hobson , who has frequently seen him since his convalesence . The man is a working mechanic and had speat about thirty pounds last year on the doctor , in going to the Isle of Man and other places , for the benefit of his health , but to no purpose . His food had consisted for a long time of nothing but 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 he ' s friends at Leeds , where he was told , by his medical adviser that should he be restored a little , his disorder would have its periodical return ; but being advised to try PARR'S LIFE PILLS , he bought a few boxes , which have completely removed his disease , and enabled him to return to his work , whero he was seen a few days ago by Mr . Hobson , ( it being dinner hour ) eating beef-steaks with great gusto ; and to whom he recited ^ ith pleasure and gratitude the cause of his then healthy condition , together with a long history of his past affliction " Should the above three cases of cures be worth ; 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 . " HIBACULOUS CUBE FBOM THE USE OF PARR ' S LIFE TILLS . Copy of a Letter just received by the Proprietors from Mr . Wm . Moat , 3 , Cobbett-street , Shaw ' s Brow , Salford . " To the Proprietors of Parr ' s Life Pills . " Gentlemen , —I have the utmost pleasure in forwarding you this my own case of cnre , effeotedsolely by the persevering nsi ^ wt" yonr Parr ' s Life Pills . Before having recourse to them . I had been tonUpwards of five years afflicted with a most distressing malady , whioh the different medical men who attended me all pronounced to be a serious case of hydrocele ( or dropsy of the scrotum ) , and declared there was no other chance of either relief or cure than undergoing a surgical operation . I was thus driven almost to despair ; and consulted the treatise written by Sir Astley Cooper , wherein he states that the operation is generally attended with considerable danger . I therefore determined not to risk so painful and uncertain an experiment , but rather chose to leave the result to nature and Providence . Fortunately , I heard of the great fame of Parb / s Life Pills , and resolved to give them a fair trial . I coaeequently took them for some time without perceiving any benefit , but still kept persevering ; and I have now taken twelve boxes , and to my great joy I am perfectly well , the dropsy is entirely removed , together with a scorbutic affection , which I had been much troabled 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 anrd spirits than I have been for fourteen years . I feell certain you would have accounts of far more cues , if peopla would persevere in the use of the pils at proper length of time , as I have done . I give you m y heartfelt thanks , and authority to publish this lepter , and will gladly answer any applications either ersonally or by letter , and remain your grateful and obliged servant .

" To the Proprietors of Parr ' s Life Pills , " " Gentlemen , —I am happy to inform yon that we are daily hearing accounts of the good effects of Parr ' s Life Pills ; to enumerate the cases world be a task too formidable for me , and which has prevented my writing to inform yon before , as I can hardly tell whereto begin . One man said he wanted a box of Life Pills for Life Pills they were to him they had done him i » much good , in relieving him of an obstinate cough and asthma . "Another said they were worth their weight in gold ! as he was not like the same man since he had taken them . " Another said his wife had had a bad leg for years , but after taking one small box , which was recommended by his Class Leader , her leg was much better , and when she had taken the second box , is was quite as well as the other . " A very respectable female eaid her husband had been afflicted above two years , and had tried many things , but since he had taken Park ' s Life Pills he was quite a new man .

      Lambeth . —Bbitanuia Coffeb House , Watebloo-koad . —At the -weekly meeting of members on Monday evening , a deputation was received from the Metropolitan Delegate Meeting , -whs impressed on tbe meeting tbe necessity ai-d importance of all uniting and co-operating together to carry out the Plan for the Organisation of the metropolis , and sending delegate ! to the Conference . It was agreed to take the question into consideration on Monday evening next , and to summoB the members especially for that purpose . WiTFOBD . —The second annual Chartist excursion to this pleasant town , too k place on i Monday last . About nine o ' clock , upwards of four hundred persons , of both sexes , left the Marylebone Chartist station , in vans , omnibnases , gigs , landaus , &c , gaily decorated

      -with Chartist banners and devices . The day was lovely in the extreme . The various town * and villages on the road poured forth their population to view tbe sight , and greet tbe Chartists . Large' quantities of tracts , Northern Stars , Circulars , fee ., were distributed , and eagerly sought after by the agricultural population , and the greatest good feeling seemed to exist , not only towards the individuals , but likewise towards -tfee principles , Abont two miles ont of Watford , the procession « u met by two excellent brass bands , and then proceeded through the town playing the ! " Marsellolse Hymn , " and other democratic airs . A Jarge pavillion had been erected at the Wheat Sheaf Inn , and ample accommodation provided by the worthy host for hia numerous guests . Tbe gardens and grounds were

      thrown open to the public , and dancing , and other innocent amusements , -wiled away the | summer day . The only drawback on the pleasures of j tbe day , was the presence of a body of the Metropolitan police , many of -whom -were in disguise . It had been contemplated to bold a public meeting oaf the occasion ; but tyranny threateaedto suspend the landlord ' s license if it -was allowed on bis premises ; and Watford Fields , where the last meeting was held , being Lammas land , was not yet denuded of grass . For this and other reasons so public meeting was holden , much to the disappeintment of many of the inhabitants . The ; were , however , consoled by the promise oft a visit from Peargus O'Connor , Esq . at an early period . The visitors

      met -with the greatest courtesy from the inhabitants , which shews the silent progress of . our principles . On the occasion of the previous visit , during the late Strike , the greatest alarm -was manifested . at the Chartist eruption , -which certainly waar more formidable than the present in numbers ; many of the shops were closed , and the greatest ignorance upon the real objects of Chartism prevailed . Now the very reverse was manifested ; and instead of the magistrates placing a corps of 500 policemen in ambush , twelve t were thought sufficient to preserve tbe peace . Another visit -will shew that these also may be dispensed with . ; The procession arrived safe in the metropolis about twelve o ' clock , -without a tingle accident having occurred .

      - -pen , commenting upon tbe Bill now before Parliament , todtonttMtedtho ^ B ^ M ^^ Jtog compelled fO ipjBnd a certain por 8 OT ? ol £ Uieli ¦ eari j ^ with the " , publican with the exertions > f Ffttiier ^ Mathew , of trhom fce ^ kem h igh terms of praise ,: and showed how gratifying It musk be to the Irish Catholics to see him received by the English as an Apoatle . He then dwelt ; upon the evila of Mother Church , and stated the fact of his being compelled many years ago t « banish himself frem His country on account ef hia opposition to tithes , shewing that no chance of justice could be expected from oar present rulers . In reference to Church Property , Stanley , RuBseiy and Co . would never vote afiainsfc the Church ; because those laymen had much to loss of that description of property . He then showed that no hope

      of justice to England or Repeal fer Ireland could be expected from the Whigs . The Tories , too , had changed their tactics , seeing that both nations were determined upon Repeal . They said it was better to l eave them alone , and the candle weald burn itself out —( laughter and cheers ) . Mr . O'Connor then dwelt upon the Land in . connection with the Chatter , and phoirod tie Superiority of the agriculturist over the manufacturing labourer . The £ 20 , 000 , 000 granted to black Blave owners , if applied to the land , would have purchased one million acres of freehold land forever . Who could conceive of the benefit of such a purchase , when contrasted with the use to which the money was applied ? He then dwelt on the question of machinery showing that under proper amngementa it / would be

      & benefit intead of a curse to the . working man . The present rise in the price of bread , when corn wan falling , showed how small a quantum of sympathy the consumer received from middle class men and " free traders . " What did they think of the cenduct of Earl Roden , th ^ modern spiritual Quixote ? The poor were ejected fron ? their holdings because they would not vote for their landlords . ; tills proved that land conferred the franchise , and shewedlthe necessity of their obtaining possession of a portion of it . Mr . O'Connor then dwelt upon the falling off of last quartert Revenue , and upon the assertion of Father Mathew , that next quarter would be worse . It showed the melancholy fact that the revenue depended upon the dissipation of the people . Mr .

      O'Connor then remarked on the precarious state of tbe Welsh provinces . He had received letters from that quarter , wherein the Chartists pledged themselves to have nothing to do with the " Rsbeeca" riots . His prediction in reference to Peel ' s tariff , was fully justified . That . day's Times had shown that the Welsh farmers -were forming unions for the reduction of their rents . The spoHcy of tbe Chartist body consisted in keeping aloof-from all minor agitations . The only party they could consistently join with wasthe Repealers of the Union . Mr . O'Connor concluded amid much applause , an address of upwards of twohouri duration , by apologising for Mr . Roberts , the Chartist Attorney-General , who -was on the platform , not addressing them . ;

      Mr . Feazer moved tbe following resolution , -which was seconded by Mr . Spknceb , and carried unanimously : — ; " That this meeting returns its unfeigned thanks to that unflinching friend of humanity , Feargua O'Cpnnor , Esq ., for his gratuitous services to the working classes without reference to creed or country ; and who , while political tricksters have bartered their ephemeral popularity for wealth and station , has devoted his wellearned and lasting fame to its only legitimate purpose , namely , the benefit of those from -whom he received it , the people , j And this meeting fully concurring in the sentiments so clearly developed and so eloquently enforced by that gentleman , are firmly of opinion that

      the interests of the working classes of Great Britain and Ireland are identical , and that unanimity can only protect and defend those interests , do pledge ourselves individually and collectively to tbraw every facility in the way of procuring that measure of justice for our Irish brethren , a repeal of the Legislative Union ; at the same time never loosing sight of the People ' s Charter as the only measure that will procure for the people of both countries lasting happiness by giving them a legitimate controul over their own affiirs . In conelusion , thlsnieeting pledges itself never to place confidence in any political reformer who will propose or support any measure of representative reform In any way short of jthat document " A vote of thanks was given to the Chairman , and the meeting dispersed highly gratified .

      for them . London too was "ther centre of wealth and influence , and had sot yet experienced the evil effects ol the system equally with the provinces j but they had already begun to feel the pinch , and ultimately would feel it much tighter . Mr . O'Connor , Id hi * usual forci ble way , showed that the distress of the" country and the superabundance of labour -was attributable to class legislation . England and Scotland were no longer the homes of the natives , nor Ireland the land of the Irish . All were dispossed of their inBeritance by the effects ol its accused Influence , -He Mien alluded to the large gathering ol Chartists en that day at Watford , and applauded them for their gnat | exertlons in spreading their principles . He had tread in that clay ' s "Free . Trade "' organ , that more religion and

      education was needed , ere they could be entrusted with political power . In &a eloquent and hnmoBrousxnanuer , no ridiculed the statement , and showed that education -withoutGPariiamentaTy power would . never better the i conation of the people .

      SHEFFIELD . —Mr . John West . —This talented lecturer preached two sermons in the open air , apposite the Corn Exchange , on Sunday last . His analysis of tbe pure principles of Christianity , contrasted with the actions of the Scribes and Pharisees of the present day , rivetted ' the attention of bis auditors . Indeed , as one remarked , '' You might go a thousand times to churches or chapels and never hear Christianity so ably expounded . " ; On Monday evening , Mr . West delivered a lecture in the Fig-tree-lane Room , on "The remedy for national poverty . " After alluding to tbe various

      nostrums , such as Corn Law Repeal , Repeal of tbe Union , the Land , &c . he ably defended tbe Charter , as tbe only remedy ' for national grievances .

There were a number of tbe members of the association present , who took a very liyely interest in the proceedings of tbe council ; vrhicb , as w-3 l be seen from what follows , were of a very interesting character . After the minutes of the last meeting were . read over and confirmed , the secretary was called upon to read the leading article in last weeks * Star , on the subject of a National Conference . Mr . John Lowery then moved the following resolution , -which being seconded by Mr . James Muir , was , after condiderable discussion , put to the

      meeting andjcar / ied : —• " That the members of this council are of opinion , that an efficient plan of Organization is essential to the well-being of the Chartist movement ; bat at the same time , they feel convinced , that a National Conference would be attended with too much expence to the Chartist body , more especially at this time , when so many calls are being made upon them for funds . They therefore would suggest as & substitute for the Conference , that THiBTEEN persons be appointed by the country , to draw up a : legal and practicil plan of Organization . " The following resolution was then moved by Mr . W . Canlthard , and seconded by Mr .
