" The various forms of bodily and mental weakness , incapacity , suffering and disease , faithfully delineated in this cautiously written and practical j work , are almost unknown , generally ai 3 anderstood , and treated on principles correspondingly erroneous j and Fuperficial , 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 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 , i is confided the care of yoang people , who ought to remain for s . moment devoid of that information and those salutary cautions this work is intended io convey- Not onlj ? are the most delicate forms of generative debility neglected by the family physician , bnt they require for their safe management the exolusive 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 the correct treatment of sexual infirmities . " If we consider the topics touched upon either in a moral or social view , we find the interests and welfare of mankind seriously involved . The effects of licentions , indiscriminate and secret indulgence in certain practices , are described with an accuracy and force which diaplay at once profound reflection and extensive practical experience . "—The Planet . "The best of all friends is the Professional Fbiend , and in no shape can he be consulted with g reater safety and secrecy than in '" Ltjcas on JIaslt Vigour . " The initiation into viciousindulgence^—its progress—its results in both sexes , are given with faithful , but alas 1 for human nature , with afflicting truth . However , tho Authors have not exposed the evil without affording a remedy . It shows how " Manly Yigouk" 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 conseqnences of earl ) 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 ontward physical appearance of their youthful 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 i natural results of congenital debility or disease , are the consequences of an alluring and pernicious pr&c-: tics , alike destructive to the mind and body . "—BelCs \ New Weekly Ale&scnger " | "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 ! and 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 1 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 treats of subjects we believe generally , yet very strangely , neglected by the medical attendant , 3 nd requiring doubtlessly ( as in operative midwifery 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 of the suffering consequent upon unbridled sensualism . No human being ^ an be the worse for its perusal ; to multitudes it must prove a beacon , a well-told appeal to reason , a permanet blessing . It is written in a clear intfeiiigible style , and is evidently the production of a mind long and practically conversant with the diseases of the most delicate division of the human organization , " — The Magnet . 11 Ee « nriiy of happiness in the marriage state is the chief anxiety of all ; but many dread entering upon wedded union , through a secret fear of I uufiiness for the discharge of matrimonial obligations .

      STIRLING REES' ESSENCE . THE high encomiums bestowed on this unrivalled i Preparation by the most eminent Surgeons , as well as the strong recommendations of Patients who have experienced its Salutary and Beneficial Effects , and the great and increasing demand for it from all parts of the world , prove its decided superiority over every other Medicine in present use , for the speedy and effectual Cure of that particular class of Diseases for which those dangerous , nauseous , and uncertain Medicines , Copaiva and Mercurials , have hitherto been too frequently resorted to . It generally effeota a perfect Cure in the short space of three or four days , and in recent cases sometimes sooner , without danger of a return , which so often occurs after trusting to Copaiva , &o ., for a cure . It contains , ' in a concentrated state , all the efficacious parts of Sarsaparilla , combined with other well-tried and approved alteratives , which make it an excellent remedy for secondary symptoms , pains of the bones , glandular swellings , chronic rheumatism , scrofulous scorbutio eruptions , blotches and pimples , and all disorders originating from impurity of blood . In ca . jes of debility , attended with lassitude , nervous depression of spirits , and loss of vi gou r , brought on by early imprudence , improper habits , long residence in hot or unhealthy climates , and other causes , it has been found to quickly produce a beneficial change , restoring health , enorgy , and vigour throughout the whole system . For weakness and obstructions peculiar to Females , it has in numerous oases proved invaluable . Prepared only by the Proprietor , J . W .

SECONDARY [ SYMPTOMS , which arise from improper Treatment ( especially the use of Mercury" ) , may be known from Eruptions on the skin , pains in the Bones , affections of the Throat and Nose , and general Impurity ! of the Blood .

The principal consulting surgeon has had vast opportunities of studying these malignant diseases in all their varied ; aspects , having for a lengthened period confined his attention thereto , in one of the principals hospitals in the kingdom , during which time he had the honour of receiving high Testimonials to the skill and perseverance he had displayed in this particular branch .

      LETTER FROM MR . WM . HICK , NORTHERN STAR OFFICE , LEEDS ' . " Northern Star Office , Leeds , March 17 th , 1842 . ^ C " rj . entlemen , — -You will oblige by forwarding , ai vl your earliest convenience , the same quantity of PARR'S LIFE PILLS as last sent . While f am writing I cannot refrain from communicating tha flattering intelligence of the groat good your pills are doing in Leeds and its neighbourhood . It is clearly a great error to find fault with a medicine merely because it i 3 a patent one ; and more especially since its use has contributed so largel y to the publio health . The fact is , however , predjudice is 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 abox , who stated that they had done her immense good . She had been troubled with a , hoarseness se « bad that no one could hear her speak ; but having taken a few boxes of PARR'S LIFE PILLS , she was completely restored , as was evident by the way she spoke . " Very many case of extraordinary cures have 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 , and ia a week were restored and -strengthened that they could pursue their employment with pleasure ana profit ; so much t > o , that from being unable to work at their calling more than two days in the week , and this with great physical difficulty and languor , they can now not only do a full week's work , but overhours besides . Bad as trade is here , the old people being favourites with ihe mill owner , are enabled to get as much employment as they can do , which has excited the envy of those younger persons who had been employed in their absence ; and it is a laughable fact , that Parr ' s Pills come in for a share ef their rancour . The old people continue to take the pilla regularly in email quantities , and find them asnecegsary te 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 , bat 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 epeat 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 , ha returned to his friends at Leeds , where he was toldl 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 hia work , where 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 with 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 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 . " MIRACULOUS CUBS FROM THE USE OF FABR ' S LIFB PILLS . Copy of a Letter just received by the Proprietors from Mr . Wm . Moat , 3 , Cobbett-stveet , Shaw ' s Brow , Saiford . " To the Proprietors of Parr's Life Pills . " Gentlemen , —I have the utmost pleasure in forwarding you this my own case of cure , effected solely by the persevering use of your Parr ' s Life Pills . Before having recourse to them , I had been for upwards of five years' ifilicted with a most distressing malady , which 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 oh&nce of either relief or euro than undergoing a surgical operation . I was thus driven almost to despair ; and consulted the treatise writ t en b y 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 ta leave the result to nature and Providence . Fortunately , I heard of the great fame of Parr ' s Lifb Pills , and resolved to &ive them a fair triaL I consequently took them for some time without perceive ing any benefit , but etill kept perseveriag ; 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 troubled with since my return from India is 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 people would persevere in the use of the pills a proper length of time , as I have done . I give you my heartfelt thanks , and authority to publish this letter , and will gladly answer any applications either personally or by letter , and remain you grateful and obliged servant . ( Signed ) " W . MOAT . Witness—John Hough , Cheadle , carrier . n Manchester , Fob . 7 , 1842 . » FROM MB . HEATON , BOOKSELLER , LEEDS . " To the Proprietors of Parr ' s Life Pills . " " Gentlemen , —I am happy to inform you that we are daily hearing accounts of the good effects of Parr ' s Life Pills ; to enumerate the cases would be a task too formidable for me , and which has prevented my writing to inform you before , as I can hardly tell whore to begin . One man said he wanted a box of Life Pills for Life Pills they were to him they had done him so much good , in relieving him of an obstinate cough and asthma . " Another said they were worth their weight ia gold ! as he was not like the same man since he had taken them . " Another Baid hia wife had had a bad leg fof years , bat 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 , it was quite as well as the other . 11 A very respectable female said her husband had been afflicted above two years , and had tried many things , but sinoe he had taken Parr ' s Life Pills he was quite a new man . IS You will please send immediately , by Deacon ' s waggon , 36 dozen boxes at Is . l £ d ., and six dozen at 2 s . 9 d . 11 , Gentlemen , yours , respectably , 11 JOHN HEATON .

Moxon , of York : —Mrs . Mather of that city had for many years been aff-cted with i a most inveterate disease , which her medical attendants pronounced to be cancer . It originated in her breast , and continued to spread nearly all over her body , defying every effort on surgical skill . Parr f Life Pills being recommended to her , she resolved to giva them a trial ; and , speaking of the result , she says she connot express the inconceiveable advantage which she has already derived from them . She further states , that she is now almost well , and ascribed her convalescence solely to tbe persevering use of that sovereign medioine—Parr ' s Life Pi" * N . B .

The result 5 * , that des ^ i a unchecked in its work of destruction ^ and is proving a most ustful auxiliary to the followers of GuA fiendish , -doctrine which recommends the thinning of tfce superabundant population by any or every mbanB tfatt prepays itself .

In bith cases the Jury that generally attend thii" isolated -eLungeon returned a -Terdictef- " Katsal 2 > sath- " These two cases , in addition to numberless otbers of a slmiliarly fatal chalacter to which the Tht JFtAty IBispatdi has directed public attention , must prove beyond a question the paramount necessity tiers is of adopting some speedy and effective measure to interrupt ths unswayed move |

      taeEts of death in this prison . The ^ Government and the public are equally conaeiesce bound to adopt this measure-: for the safe-keeping of a criminal is not the only object which the law enforces . It is also equally imperative in directing that at the close of his punishment he shall be restored to bis family and friends . ¦ What , ttmay beBsted . isVheHieasaietbat would berecom mended for Ibeattainmeat of this end ? The answer is , the same measure that has been already , and over and over again recommended , namely—the c ' to&lng , and even the -demolition of Ibis liTriog sepnlefcre . ttie prevalence of disease and death in this prison is uafc « f * eeeni data . So far hack as 1823—4 , disease is Its most inaieious and fatal farms was so general , that a Parliamentary inquiry into its origin tfss instituted , when it was

      incontrover"tibly proved that it bad its origin in the following causes ;—1—" The low damp si-uation of the building ; " 5—" lowand inadequateditt ; " 3— "SJental -depression , arising from locality , monotonous confinement and labour , under loo scanty a supply of foed . " That the mortality which then prevailed was attributable to these causes was further proved , by t h e r apid restoration to health of almost every one of 635 , who \ rere removed from the prison to Woolwich and the 3 legcnt * s-psrk , where , in addition to pure air , they had smlritive diet From the first opening of this prison in 1 S 16 , to the present monatiit , it &as either proved fatal to , or entailed long lingering diseases upon Ins unhappy Iranian beings incarcerated within its murky walls . Coombs and Latham , two eminent pbjricians , d ec l are

      that disease is naturally inherent in this prison . Coombe says " that itisbuiU rather under than above the level cf the highest tides in the river , so that ventilation or the supply ef dry pure sir is always imperfect , and the atmosphere of nigh * is often heavy and damp , as .-on all low grounds in the neighbourhood of rivcra and halfcovered mud . " Just imagine 1 . 100 or 1 , 200 human ieiegs wholly powerless , and without an opportunity of pleading their -ewn cause , or the cause of , _ perhapa , & large family , whose means of existence depend upon their exertions after their release from prison , thus inhaling disease and death at every breath 1 The very idea of so monstrous a piece of brutality must horrify any man of common humanity . Dr . Bailey , in his evidence as to the cause of James's death , stited that from his evidence he was in a sinking condition . If so , "Why was not his case represented ta the Homo Secretary in erder that a free pardon might have been obtained ,

      * s is always done in such cases in the Pentonville Prison ? A short time since , Mr . Wakley , M P ., who is lynx-eyed in these matters , and who will not take the ipse dixit of prison officers when the life of a fellowbeirg is in jeopardy , held an inquest at tha " Model Prison , -wfcen &o asked the Crevemor what course he pursued in case a prisoner was ; attacked with mortal sickness ? The Governor replied , thst he immediately applied for , sad invariably obtained , s free p&rioa for liim . Why did not Mr .

Confining persons in so foul and fcedd an atraosp iere , especially as they r . re subjected to the most destructive prison disci pl i ne , is hula short of murder ; axsd it is , therefore , iDcambent on the Govex&nieiit to relieve themselves , -srstijon ; rtetey , from so serious a charge , by doing away with it altogether as ¦ & prison . and cor .-7 feTnng it to { some other use ltsa dan--g&roE 3 to human existence . — Weekly Dispatch .
