SIR , —The wife of a person residing in St . John's Green , in this place , came to my shop a little time since , for a box of your pills for her husband . She told me that previous to his taking them he had a violent attack of Gout , which sometimes laid him up for weeks and months together , but since taking them , the last six years he has never been laid up , and only requires one dose of the Pills to set him to rights . I have seen the husband since ( yesterday , May 2 nd , 1842 ) , and he told me the same exactly , and moreover says , he never takes any other medicine .

While 1 am writing I cannot refrain from communicating the 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 is a patent one ; and more especially since its use has contributed so largely to the public health . The faot 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 Public Meeting of the City boot and shcnmikers was held on Monday evening , at the National Association Hall , Holborn , at six o ' clock , Mr . M'Frederick was called to the chair , and stated the objects of the meeting Mr . Rose moved the first resolution , " That we the journeymen boot and shoemakers of the Eastern Division do respond to the call of the Western Divisicn , and immediately recognis 2 the principles of the Peop le's Charter , and usa our utmost exertions in rallying other

      trades to do the same , and to co-opsrate with all trades cf London , that can be aroused from their lethargy , in not coming out for the Charter : we considering that to be the only remedy whereby the working classes can hope for salvation from their distressed and degraded condition . " Mr . M'Carthy seconded tha resolution , which was supported by Mr . Holliday , and carried with about sixteen dissentients , amid very great cheering . Mr . Deane moved the following resolution , " That any funds which may hereafter be required for carrying out this object , shall be raised by voluntary contributions in the divisional meetings , and that n © trades ' money » h »» henceforth be appropriated to any Chartist purpose , without the sanction of the whole trade . " Mr . Ackland briefly seconded the resolution , which was also

      carried unanimously . Mr , Smyth moved the next resolution , '' That at all times our trade busic-jss shall take precedence of anything the delegates elected at this meeting may have to lay before our trades' meetings , asd under no pretence shall this line of conduct be deviated from . " Mr . Langwith seconded the resolution . It never was their intention to amalgamate the Chartist meeting with their trades' business . It might not be prudent that the trade society should be mixed up with Chartist proceedings , but every member of their Union ought also to be a member of the National Charter Association . Politics robbed them of 17 s . 6 d . out of every £ 1 . and yet it was said they ought not to dabble in politics but unless they did dabble in politics they would never be able to prevent this

      robbery . Those who did dabble in politics lived on the fruits of their labour , while those who did not were in such a state of destitution as caused him to blush with shame that they had hot looked more to tfeeir own interest . In carrying out this object , they meant to keep it distinct from the trade 'business on meeting nights ; when business was concluded , they eould vote the Chairman out of the chair , and propose another for Chartist proceedings . Mr . Torrens did aot wish to oppose the proceedings , bat he wanted to know when he was . a Chartist and when a snob ; if be wai taken prisoner after hii trade business was concluded for a Chartist , what would become of him . As a snob , he was pleased to see the liberality which had characterised their proceedings , but he should wish the Chartist * to meet at a different time and place from the trades meeting . ) Their Txadea Union w&a illegal enough at present , and they were unpopular enough with the matters , without

      making them more to . They made a stand at present , though he admitted it wu a very poor one ; but if they took this step fcb * y would be cat sp root asd branch . They could aa well appropriate another night to their Chartist meeting . Mr . M'Carthy stated , he bad no objection to fixing on another night , bat this shewed the necessity of their being in possession of that power which would enable them to defy their master ' s at t empt to tyrannise . Mr . Jones concurred in the previous resolutions ; they were characterised by great liberality , bat he knew that to hold the Chartist meeting in t he same room would destroy both . He was sure that at two out of the three houses of meeting they would not be allowed to meet , and if they were not prepared with other places it would be wrong to adopt the resefotfon , he should move the following amendment :- — " That the badness of the trade be settled at a differen time and place to Chartism . " Mr . Farrens seconded the aneadment . Mr . Deane , in an eloquent speech

      Untitled Article

      supported the original resolution . Mr . James addressed them in favour of the amendment , and after a few , wordsfrom Warry , and M'Cormack , the amendment was carried by a very small majority . Mr . Holliday moved a resolution that six Delegates elected in j their divisional meetings should have power to carry out the previous resolutions . Mr . Atkinson Beconded the i resolution . The delegate for the first division having i resigned , Mr . Smyth was elected in his place , and the j resolution was unanimously agreed to . Mr . Rose moved i a vote of cenfldence and approbation in the Evening and j Northern Stars , and that the proceedings be inserted in I them , and likewise in the Statesman and Advertiser .

      Mr . M'Carthy seconded the resolution , and spoke in glowing terms of the good which had been effected for the cause by the Northern and Evening Stan . Carj ried unanimously . The Chairman stated that the busij ness of the meeting had been conducted entirely by the City Boot and Shoemakers ; but if they were willing , a stonemason would address them . A motion having been carried to that effect , Walton Armstrong addressed them at some length on the effects of strikes , and the necessity of political power to render Trades' Unions effective , and concluded a vary eloquent address amid | great applause . A vote of thanks was given to the Chairman , and the meeting dissolved .
