In all Diseases of the Generative Organs , such as GonorrkcBi , Gltets , Strictures , Ulcers , Gravel , and all other Diseases of these Organs , W . & Co . may fee successfully consulted . ' . SECONDARY SYMPTOMS , which arise from improper Treatment ( especially the ase ef Mercury ) , may be known from Eruptions on the skin , pains in tha Bones , affections of the Throat and Nose , and gensral Impurity of the Blood . Tins may be regarded as the most dangerous stage of the Disease , and requires the utmost skill in its Eradication : — The Treatment adopted by W . < k Co . has been' attended with the most satisfactory Results , and they have always had the gratification of seeing their Patients restored to full enjoyment of Health . In Cases where an indulgence in a SOLlIAttr PRACTICE has produced those distressing Symptoms , Seminal Weaknessi Nervous Debility , Loss of Appetite , Depression of Spirits , Indigestion , -Flatulency , Difficulty of Breathing , Palpitation of the Heart , and all the Evidences of an Impaired Constitution , they may be consulted with decided benefit , having bestowed the greatest Attention to this melancholy Prostration of the mOBt important Funouons of Nature . Their Mode of Treatment will invariably be found to arrest the progress of these destructive diseases , and be the means of restoring the sufferer to renewed health and vigour both of mind and body . The principal consulting surgeon has had vaat opportunities of studying these malignant diseases in all their varied aspects , having for a lengthened period confined his attention thoreto , in one of the principals bospitalB in the kingdom , during which time he had the honour of receiving high Testimoniala to the skill and perseverance he had displayed in this : particular branch . These documents are open to tho inspection o £ aay of their patients who may desire , for their own satisfaction , to see them . Subsequently , an extensive private practice in London has afforded ample opportunities of proving the eficacv of their mode of treatment . « ...

In all casoa the utmost SECRECY may be relied od , as Wilkinson and Co . either destroy the letters , or return them , as tho parlies may desire They have , however , in several instances , supceeded in effecting so rapid and effectual a oure , that the patients have kindly forwarded t » them , without solicitation , letters of reference , with the full name and address , which they have authorised Dis . W . to makje use of , with the view of encouraging others to avail themselves of their advice . These letters are not intended for publication , bnt they will be submitted to patients who desire to inspect them . In packing the parcels , the greatest care is observed , so as to secure the safety of the Medicine , and to prevent suspicion—giving them tho appearance of an ordinary package . r Experience has enabled W . and Co . to produce a remedy which is beuefioial in every stage of disease ; and for accommodation of either b « x , where , from any motive , parties may deoline application , either personally or by letter , their PURIFYING DROPS . Price 4 i . 6 d ., may be used with tbe most decided success . No Medicine baa ever been offered to the public which has been so efficacious in restoring the diseased to health and vigour .

" The various forms of bodily and mental weakness , incapacity , ' sufforing and disease , faithfully delineated in this cautiously written and practical work , are almost unknown , generally misunderstood , and treated on principles correspondingly erroneous and superficial , by the present race of medical praotitionors . Henco the noco 3 sity for the publication Of a timely safeguard , a silent yet friendly monitor , or , where debility has made threatening inroads , the means of escape and the certainty of restoration The evils to which the book adverts are extensive and identical in their secret and 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 & moment devoid of that information and those salutary cautions this work is intended to convey . Not only are the most delicate forms of generative debility neglected by tbe family physician , but they require for their safe management the exclusive study of a life entirely abstracted from the routine of general practise , and ( as in other departments of the profession ) attentively concentrated in the daily and long continued observation requisite for tha correct treatment of sexual infirmities . " If we consider the topics touched upon either in a moral or social view , we find tho intorcsts and welfare of mankind seriously involved . The effects of licentious , indiscriminate aud secret indulgence in certain praotioes , 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 tho Professional Friend , and in no sbapa can ho be consulted with greater safety and secrecy than in "Lucas on Manly Vigour . " The initiation into vicious indulgence—its progress—its results in both sexes , are given with faif hful , but alas I for human nature , with afflioting truth . Howevor , 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 tho sufferer , who has pined in anguish from the oonsequonces of earlj indiscretion—afraid almost to encounter his fellow-man , can regain the vigour of health and , moral courage . The work is written in a concise and perspicuous style displaying how often fond parents are deceived by the outward physical appearance of their youthful offspring ; how th 9 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 , aro 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 pactice , alike destructive to tho 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 medioal work , this remark is open to exception in any instance where the public , and not the isolated and exclusive members of the profession , are the parjtiea addressed . Upon that which is directed to men indiscriminately , tho 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 beforo us treats of subjects wo believe generally , yet very strangely , neglected by the medical attendant , and requiring doubtlessly ( as in operative widwifery and the surgery of the eye ) an entire devotedness to a deeply important branch of study . The tone of this book is highly moral , and it abounds in wellwritten , harrowing , yet correct displays oi the suffering consequent upon unbridled sensualism . ] No human being can be the worse for its perusal ; to multitudes it mast prove a beacon , a well-told appeal to roason , a permanet blessing . It is written in a clear intelligible style , and is evidently tho produotion of a mind long and practically conversant with the diseases of the most delicate division of the human organizition , "—The Magnet . »• The Beourity of , happiness in the marriage state is the chief anxiety of all ; but many dread entering uoon wedded union , through a secret fear of unfitness for the 1 discharge of matrimonial obligations .

      THE BEST MEDICINE IN THE WORLD f | BEAD I AND JUDGE FOX YOUBSELVES ! ! FTTHE following statement of facts has been co * . X . municated to tho Proprietors of PARR'S LIFE PILLS :-Messrs . T . Robert sand Co . Malton , Jan . 30 , 1843 . Gentlemen , —Though it is but a very short y ^ since I last wrote for a supply of Parr ' s Life Pillg , { find that owing to an astonishing increase in tig sale of them , I am again compelled to request you to send me twenty dozen of the small , as also a supply ofthe large size . I should wish you to forward thtJJ by railway to York , thence by carrier , as early possible , as I m afraid my present stock will be jr .. hansted before they reach me . I enclose you ft , case of a person who resides in Malton , and whoa * testimony may be relied upon as beiug strictly correct . This is but one case selected from an almost incredible number of others , which have come under my notice , in which cures have been effected by tl » use of Parr ' s Life Pills . Many highly respectabli persons in this neighbourhood , who previous to tht introduction of Parr's Life Pills had a decided dislit , to Patent Medicines , are now thankful that they w « able to add their testimonials to the beneficial effeets of these pills . By forwarding me , without delay , flu quantity of pills as ordered above , you will oblige , Gentlemen , yours , respectfully , J . WRANGHaM , Gentlemen , —When I consider the very grg »{ relief I have experienced from the use of Parr ' s lift Pills , I think it not only to be my duty to you but to every one who may be suffering from similar com . plaints with which I have been afflicted , to make qj astonishing case as publio as possible . For a long time past I have been greatly troubled with a most severe nervous cpmplaint , giddiness , atid swimming in the head , which increased , ; to such a degree tint at times I was compelled to leave off from my work , being unable to bear the least fatigue or excitement . At tne suggestion of many of my friends , I was in . | duced to try various medicines , but found that sty complaint instead of diminishing , was daily growing worse . Having fortunately heard of the beneficial offects of Parr ' s Life Pills , I resolved to give them fair trial , though I must confess with but little hopes of deriving benefit from them , after having tried bo many other medicines without success ; I immeji . ately purchased a small sized box of Mr . Wraog . ham , chemist , the only agent for the Bale of them is Malton , and fortunate indeed has it been for me that I did so , for though I have just finished taking this one box , I find myself so far relieved that instead of daily , nay hourly , suffering from that dreadful com . plaint , nervousness , with its attendant miseries , I aa restored to my former good health ; my nerves art strong—the giddinea 3 and Bwimming in my head u « totally removed , and I am now able to attend regularly to my trade . Allowing you to make whatever use yon may think proper of this statement tnl being truly grateful for the benefit I have obtained from taking Parr's Life Pills . I am , Gentlemen , your obedient Servant , THOMAS PATTISON , Painte * . N . B . I shall be glad to answer any enquiry respecting the good the pills have done ma . To Mr . T .

Parr ' s Life Pills being recommended to her , she resolved to give them a trial ; and , speaking of the result , she says she cannot expres ^ the incoaceivable advantage which she haa already derived from them .

      TO JXXeS S 1 UPSOS , ESQ . Sra , —The Chartist Committee beg most respectfully to express tbtii regret , that a sense of duty impels them to trouble ^ on cnce Hi 3 re , in reply to yotus of the 10 th instant . The mest imrnedritely Interresting part—being near the end of your letter , -where you say , the press is open —demnoflaattention first . And the answer is , it is not « o to 115 . The organ in -which your attack ma published , refused to issertarepW ; but as you refuse all

      other means of vindication , it is Jbnt reasonable to expect , . t&at yen will gei this correspondence Inserted in the Chroidcie . and gei us the privilege of answering any further chzxgza that may be made against the eeet , which shall be done -with -the utmost breTity , so as to occupy aa small a space of their columns as possible . If -yon fall to do this , or in granting some other effirient means of meeting your accusation , the conclusion will ie forced npoa us , that a man say seem sensitively » lr ? e to the Trail of benevolence , and yet be deaf to the voice of justice .

      Of your answer to question second . " The Chartists never did attempt to puS down the expression of opinion in public meetings , nor » re they the only politicians -who kave put in practice the policy of which you complain—it was partially acted upon during the Reform Bill agitation , and more lately , end much less ceremoniously , by the followers of DsaieJ O'Csnnell . Thanks loi yonr definition of the word sect . It is tjsiie appropriate ; and when yon spoke of a certain politics ! sect jcu most at least have sieani a majority of those holding the common opinion . It wculd be absurd to apply it to-a snail number . Far examp le ,

      liheie is a religions sect held tog-ihei by a commen opinion , from which they are designated Presbyterians ; some of this seet were lately convicted before the High Court of Justiciary , of rioting , jail-breaking , stoning the Magistrates , and rolling the High Sheriff in the mud : but as their conduct was not ^ sanctioned by the mrjarity of the Presbyterians , I think that you will admit that no man would be justified in speaking of them as a certain religious sect , who , because they held certain jjpisiona , were in the habit of jail-breaking , fcc . Tet this is your position regarding the political sect , xmless you can make good your charge against the majority .

      Yen do notrmean the Edinburgh Association—not beiag aw ; se of its existence . Be it -known , then , to you , Sir , that such an Association has constantly existed from the commencement of this movement ; and no Association in Britain feas been more blamed for disturbing meetings—in bo other place was there a greater sensation created , or a greiier eatery raised is the public yress . The democrats of thb city were among the first , if not the rfrsl , wbo adopted the ' ' obnoxious policy . " They ha"re uniformly persisted in it ; bo much se , that ncne of those opposed to them seem to have any idea of holding a free and open meeting even to this dsy , — " witness the late visit of the magnates of the League , — slthongh diScring o nly in the most ia * e and efficient mode of repealing She Curn lawsi . Of all this you may easily convince yourself ; consequently , if any portion of those holding the common opinion" can be con-Ticted on yenr indictment , the Edinburgh Association Is most likely to meet the doom ; you cannot ha-re fairer game .

      Too cay yon do not make a ' eorporate application of ^ our -words . No , bat you mak&a general application of them , and In this sense they are taken op . When your gage was ftrown , yot used the word sect without any qualification-whatever . Xonrglove has" ¥ eenaccepted , loi the sect and not for the Edinburgh Association ; and if you do not redeem it , 10 "border gauntlet has ever had alairer chance of fame . Ton say there are-Chartists in England wlio disturb Tnblhmeetings . -There Isnoptoof of this ; it is to be feared you bare given this decision on an exparte statement . But be ibis as it may , no sect-can be committed * by -a minority j for if so , * B setta wenld meet certainly - * a 5 QdcbmButteai - . ' l ^ ¦ -- Tom final remarks on U 10 three delegate * are sot easily answered { there ia by no means aay cfiknee ictended ) , they seem to partake a little « f the ludicrous "© it-It may bef-a deficiency in ttw-n 3 zth ! * ol and ideal -jwiSiM ' cfcnrcranteBa , ' - -

      . Of your general remarks , if the premises were sound -the conclusions would be jast , Of yonr quoted passage , being assertions without : proof , it ia thought sufficient to make the following anent them . The proofs shall be foiVbeomicff at any fame . -.- : . - ' "A vise and Keraly example has of late been sees ( it is to be hoped we shall see it coniinued persevere-Jpgly ) in the conduct of the Chartist * , Trbo , tt tooa .

      quence of their just and legal right to do bo , attended public meetings called for political purposes , conducted themselves with decorum , took part in the choosing of chairmen , delivered their opinions with courtesy , and Trery property insisted that a ¦ vote should be taken on the most safe and efficient mode of carrying out the original purposes for which these meetings were called . " They did bo because their feelings were outraged , their intellect insulted , and their moral sentiments disgusted by the horridly corrupt and oppressive system under which they lived . Their refecting facilities made it clear that class domination was the chief cause of all the physical suffering , mental anguish , and moral degradation which abound . Their conduct , therefore , was the result of aa harmonioui union-of the social organs and the intellectual , with the approbation and under the supremacy of the moral powers of the mind . It was frangbt with moral principle , and bad in it all the dignity of a great duty . 11

      Benevolence conjured tbem in the name of humanity to aid their fellow men . Veneration , in the name of the Creator , Invoked them to succour his creatures , imprecating the curse of Mencz on all who would not help to shield the poor and weak from the rich and mighty . Conscientiousness , waving aloft the sceptre of justice , cried aloud , be just and fear net—vox poptdi lex Dei . This wise and just policy was succeeded beyond all precedent , the real lovers of liberty are constantly adding to the numbers of this sect , to its moral power and consequent weight . It must soon be in the ascendant , and then cornea the ^ eath-knell of despotism . There is nothing after all so permanently popular as justice . It is said that honesty is the best policy , and this Is a striking confirmation of the truth . "

      With profound gratitude for the good which hu accrued from your public exertions , and a fervent hope and sincere wish that your future career may be in accordance with strict justice , I am , Sir , your humble Servant , By order of the Committee , Datid SI'Lbod .

      TO HR . DATID M ' LBOD . Sir , —I am favoured with your letter of the 12 th , by order of the Committee , and am happy to close this correspondence with the following declarations , which the editor of the Chronicle has kindly agreed to publish , when presented by yon , along with the rest of the correspondence between us . If I have understood your letter of the 12 th aright , it admits that the Chartists have attended public political meetings , and urged a vote on the Charter in the manner described by me :

      but pleads that they have always done so in exercise of a risht , and with conscientious , fair , and good intentions . To that extent I am willing to admit their vindication on yoor statement ; and therefore , considering the condemnation of their conduct , in the report of the ninth lecture , too unqualified ^ besides being unnecessary to my subject ) , I have applied to the committee for the publication of these reports , to have the whole passage cut out of the stereotype plate before any further issue , and before the complete publication is circulated over the kingdom .

      I must be permitted , however , to retain my opinion on the propriely and expediency of the course pursued at public meetings by the Chartists . That course is felt very extensively to be intrusive and oppressive , and as quashing the particular mode in which multitudes wonld express their views and opinions on public affairs . This keeps up continual irritation , and resentful and hostile feelings among denominations who might agree to differ , as it is called . I do not mean that the Chartists should be committed as included in any resolutions of a public meeting of the inhabitants of the place ; but I Bee nothing to hinder them to protest that , at all such meetings , when they do not declare themselves present , the Chartists shall be held as

      excepted . Let them , then , hold their own meetings for their own pnrposes . I trust this counsel from one who is known to have the weal of bis working class fellow citizens of all denominations at heart , who is a sincere friend to genuine liberty , and a willing extender of the franchise itself ,, commensurately with intelligence and aorality , will be taken in good port , wellconsidered by the Chartists of Edinburgh . iand have a chance , by their example , to be followed in other places . Nothing will more tend , -while it gives them greater moral weight , to soften the hostility felt to a great extent towards them , and to lessen the dread of their progress ; a participation in which , no doubt , led to too severity of my remarks upon their conduct .

      Begging to thank you for the handsome allusion yon » ake to my own humble labours , and for the courtesy that has marked your own and your colleagues' communications with me . I remain , Sir , Your obedient Servant , Jakes Simmon . 33 , Northumberland . street , 15 th April , 1844 .

      TO JAMES SISTPSO 5 , ESQ . SIR , —The otject of the Chartist deputation that ¦ waitednpon yon thu morning was to inform you that at a meeting of your feUow-citiSrns held in Whitefield Chapel , on Thursday evening last , the 'ollowing resolution was almost unanimously agreed to : — * ' That if the following remarks in Mr . Simpson ' s lecture on self-esteem were meant to apply to the Chartist body , they are wJud , and wrdnu , and ought to be rdraded . " The remarks are as follow : —

      "An unseemly example was lately seen , he hoped they were to see it no more , in the condnct of a certain ^ political sect , whe , because they held certain political opinions , formed the unprecedented resolution of intruding themselves into public meetings called for other pnrpeses , andferdng these toabanden or postpone their own matter till a vote was taken on their ( tbe intrudersl own particular politics , Now this is the pure tyranny ofnniegnl&ted and excessive self-esteem . It ia utterly devoid of moral principle . It has none of the dignity of < £ & great duty , " to . What wenow require of yoU i Sir , it : First . Will you be pleased to state in writing , if you did mean the Chartists ? Second . Will yon give them an opportunity of vindicating themselves ? Third . If you are -convinced of hsvinj ? wronged tfeem , will you do them justice in as public a manner as they have been -wronged .

      Tbe amended rules of our Association are still in manuscript ; we shall have a copy transcribed for yon if you wish it , but their aim and object are the same ai those enclosed .

      TO MESSRS . DATID HT-EOD , RORKRT AXTAH , AJ 5 D ARCHIBALD -WAXXER . . Sirs , —In reference to your letter to me of the 8 th current ( to which , from a press of other matter , I could n ot g ive a moment ' s attention till now ) , 1 beg respectfolly to state what follows . You have in that letter quoted correctly my reported words down to the word ' duty ; " permit me to complete the passage . "It has n o ne of ' the dignity of a great duty , but all the deformity of intolerable impertinence and effrontery "; and has so much tended to fliBgust the country with the association alluded to , as to deprive it of moral weight and consequent power . The friends of rational liberty , men by whom her cause is steadily forwarded , shrink from all contact and cooperation with what would be a despotism worse than Turkish , if once in the ascendant . Self-esteem in abuse , Mr . S . reminded his audience , invariably defeats its own end j and this is a striking confirmation pf the truth- ' *

      Abstractedly , I see net one Expression to qualify in the whole passage ; and herein re-apply it to any parson or persons who , in my humble opinion , abuse the privilege of free discussion at publio meetings , to -quash the special matter f « r which the meetings are called , bj an overbearing obtrusion of their own dogmas , on the intolerant ground that all opposition must be suppressed , and all public ifiairs Bugpcuded , till their particular views are practically carried put . I respect conscientious opinion , whatever it be ; but 1 cannot respect any opinion which is propagated by tyrannical TnpgnB So much generally .

      Akswsr to todb . First Question . —Seeing that the only politicians who have attempted , in the manner dsscribed in the passage , to put d « wn the expression of opinions in publie meetings , are those who call themselves Chartists , I could only mean persoas so denominated . As I had been informed that there are Chartists who disapprove of the tyranny alluded to , I could not apply the words to all Chartists ; but did , when I spoke , and do now , apply thsm to those only who DO act in the manner described . I know nothing of the

      - Chartist body" any more than that of a Whi g or Tory body , and I ased the word " sect" in its common acceptation , merely as an indefinite number of individuals holding a common opinion ; ' who may be scattered over the globe . I could not point at the * ' Edinburgh Chartist Association , " for I was not aware of its existence . I made in no sense a torporale application of my words . There are Chartists is England "who disturb public meetings . Finally , I coald not mean' yourselves three , individually , fox your existence "was then unknown to me .

      Asswer to QUESTIQ 5 SecOSD—i neither can nor ¦ Wo uld prevent any individual or class of individuals ± rom vindicating himself or themselves , under the belief of wrong . If the werds give them an opportunity ujczu . a a meeting in personal xiitcussion , either public or private , that I beg respectfully but most positively to decline . Toe press is open . Answer to Question Third . —Most certainly—2 nd IT I shall see reason to make the amende alluded to , I will do it more publicly than I offended—by public advert ! sfmgnt . I tm , Sirs , yonr most obedient servant , Jaues Simpson . S 3 , Northumberland-st , April 10 , 184 i . P-S . —I find I have used the word " association" in the passage ; by that word 1 merely meant a repetition of the word * ' secL" As above stated , I cavld not mean the Edinburgh Association .
