It is only by purifying the vital stream from insidious' disease , that the body can be preserved i * health and vigour . Hence the infinite variety of eomplaints an infected state of the blood induces , and hence the new and deceptive forms a tainted habit puts on , which often deceive the ouwt emiuenl of the faculty , and baffle the best intentions towards a cure .

Tho Work is embellished with Engravings , representing the doleterious influence of Mercury on the external appearance of the s k in , by eruptions on tho head , face , and body ; to which are added very extensive observations on sexual debility , seminal weakness , and impotency , brought on by a delu-ive habit , all itsattendantsympathies andciangerous consequences considered ; with the most approved mode ot treatment and cure , without confinement or interruption from business , the whole accompanied by explanatory engravings , with general instructions tor the perfect restoration of those who aro incapacitated from entering into the holy state of Marriage , by the evil consequences arising from early abuse , or syphilitic infection . This invaluable Work will be secretly inclosed with each box of Perry ' s Purifying Specific Pills , ( Price 2 r = . 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d ., and 11 s . ) and the Cordial Balm of Syriacum ( Price 11 s . and 33 s . per bottle ) , and is pointed out to suffering humanity as a Silent Friend , to be consulted without exposure , and with assured confidence of success . PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS , Price 2 s . 9 d ., 4 s . (> d ., and lls . per Box , are well known throughout Europe and America , to be the most certain and effectual euro ever discovered for every stage and symptom of the Venereal Disease , in both sexes , including Gonorrhoea , Gleets , Secondary Symptoms , Strictures , Seminal Weakness , Deficiency , and all diseases of the Urinary Passages , without loss of time , confinement , or hindrance from business . They have effected the most surprising cures , not only in recent and severe cases , but when salivation and all other means have failed ; and when an early application it made to these Pills for the cure of tho above complaint , frequently contracted in a moment of inebriety , tho eradication is generally completed in a few days . The rash , indiscriminate , and unqualified use of Mercury , has been productive of infinite-mischief ; under the notion of its being an antidote for a certain disease , the untutored think they have only to saturate their system with Mercury , and the business is accomplished . Fatal error ! Thousands are annually either mercurialised out of existence , or their constitutions so broken , and the functions of nature so impaired , as to render the residue ot life miserable . The disorder we have in view owes its fatal result either to neglect or ignorance . In the first stage it is always local , and easy to be extinguished by attending to the directions fully pointed Out in the Treatise , without tho smallest injury to the constitution ; but when neglected or improperly treated , a mere local affection will be converted into an incurable and fatal n : > lady . What a pity that a young man , the hope of his country and the darling of his parents , should besnatchea from all the prospects and enjoyments of lith by the consequences of one unguarded moment , find by a disease which is not , in its own nature , fatal , and which never proves so if properly treated . It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to this horrid disease , owing to ihe unskiltuiness of u uerate men ; who , by the use of that deadly

As tnij Disease is one whicu is likely to be contracted whenever exposure takes place , it is not like manj other visitors , onca in life , but , on the contrary , on » infection may scarcely have beea removed , whea another may unfortunately bo imbibed ; therefore , the practitioner requires real judgment in order to treat each particular case in such a Manner as not merely to remove ihs present attack , but to preserve the constitution unimpaired , in case of a repetition at no distant period .

      OLD PABZL'S LIFE MIAS . MORE PROOFS that this noted Medicine will restore to health the afflicted , and continue in Bound health the recovered . Read the following from a soldier , discharged from her Majesty ' s service as incurable , after having the advice of the most celebrated physicians : — " To the Proprietors of Old Parr ' s Pills . "Gentlemen , —I feel it a duty I owe to yon and to the Public at large , to acknowledge the astonishing benefit I have reoeived from taking ' Old Parr ' s Pills . ' 1 was for nearly nine years in the 52 nd Regiment of Foot , but was discharged in the yeat 1839 as incurable , after having the best advice her Majesty ' s service afforded , being pronounced consumptive ; I then returned home to Hinckley , where my attention was attracted to Old Parr's Pills . I was induced to purchase a 2 s . 0 d . box , and from that moment I date a renewal of my life ; for on taking one box , I immediately began to recover , and two 2 s . 9 d . boxes more completely cured me . " I am , yours moat obediently , " John Osborn . " > Witness—James Burgess , Bookseller , &c . &c , Hinckley . The following extraordinary case of cure has been communicated to the Wholesale Agent for Parr's Life Pills , at Nottingham : — Mrs . Joseph Simpson , Church Hill Close , Old Leaton , near Nottingham , has been severely afflicted for the last thirty years , with a violent cough , and difficulty of breathing . The affliction has been so severe that she could not fulfil her usual domestic obligations . She took cold when only fifteen years eld , and the cough never left her till she took Parr ' s Life Pills . She had tried almost every kind of medicine , and had taken laudanum in large quantities , but nothing afforded relief . She heard of Parr ' s Pills about last Christmas , and as soon as she had taken about half a box , she found herself completely cured , and was never affected in the slightest manner during the severe weather that followed , and is now better in health than she has ever been in her life . This cure does indeed appear miraculous , but for the satisfaction of the most incredulous , she has kindly consented to answer any inquiries , either by personal application or by letter , addressed " Mrs . Joseph Simpson , Churoh Hill Close , Old Lenton . " Two remarkable cases ( selected from many others ) communicated to Mr . Noble Bookseller and Printer 23 , Market Place , the Agent for Hull , Mr . Plaxton , of Cottingham , five miles from Hull , haid long been afflicted with a most severe internal disease . So dreadful were the paroxysms that he frequently expected death was at hand to release him from his suflerings . For a great length of time he had been unable to sit down at all , even being compelled to stand at his meals . His next door neighbour having heard of the virtues and unprecedented success of " Parr ' s Pills , " purchased a small box for him , and on his calling for a second box , he told me that such had been the astonishing effects produced by one box , he was ajjle fasti down , and on taking two other boxes , his pains have left him ; his appetite is good , and he is able to follow his vocation nearly as well as he has ever been in his life . Mrs . Shaw , wife of Mr . Shaw , yeast dealer , had been for a great length of time aflioted with a severe internal disease . To use his own expression , " paying doctors for her had beggared him , so that at last he was compelled to send her to the Infirmary ; there she received no permanent benefit . Having heard of "Parr's Pills , " he purchased a small box ; she began to mend immediately on taking them , and two more boxes have cured her . She is as well as she ever was in her life . Mrs . Stephenson , of Cottingham , five miles from Hull , has been severely afflicted with a bad leg for more than ten years , and during that period has pried all kinds of medicines , but without any Permanent relief . After taking four small boxes of Parr ' s Pills , she is able to go about her day ' s business in a manner which for comfort has been unknown to her for above ten years . Signed , Ei > mcnd Stephenson , her Son . Witness—Joseph Noble , Hull , May 8 , 1841 . " To the Proprietors of Parr ' s Pills . " Mrs . Ann Lamb , of Haddington , in the Parish of Auborn , bought two small boxes of Parr's Pills , at your Agent ' s Medicine Warehouse , Mr . James Drury , Stationer , uear the Stone Bow , Lincoln , for her son Jesse , who was suffering very badly from Rheumatism in the hands , knees , and shoulders ; he is seventeen years of age , and ia service , but ' was obliged to leave his place from the complaint . The two boxes completed a cure on him , and Mrs . Lamb bought a third box of Mr . James Drury , last Friday , for him to have by him , and to take occasionally . H « has now returned to his place , free from Rheumatism . " This statement , by Mr . Robt . Lamb . and Ann , his wife , parents of the youth , is given that others may benefit by those invaluable Pills , Old Parr , and they will willingly answer any enquiries , and feel very thankful for the good they have done to their son .

      PEOPLE . Friends and Brethren , —A . Conference of the ministers af all religions denominations was called , a aliort time ago in Manchester , for the purpase of taking into consideration the present state of the country , -with & Tiew to adopt some means ¦ whereby the existing causes of destitution , misery , find crime mighi be removed . In obedience to this invitation , persons of vwions denominations , composing the orthodox faith , by Tirtue cf their office aa ministers of religion , obeyed the call , and assembled in Manchester , en the 17 th of August ; and before they were properly constituted , a few of their own number acted as a Committee to grant passports of admission , and to prepare and arrange the business -which Bhould be brought before the Conference , as well as to appoiat the speakers who were subsequently to address them .

      A large portion of the industrious and intelligent of the ¦ working classes , in different parts of the United Kingdom , also took into consideration the importance of the business for which the Conference was convened , and appointed their Ministers to represent their wants sad wishes , and to express their opinions on all questions that should come before them- But when the ministers of the people arrived , and attended at the place appointed , to take part in the said Conference , and to submit the interesting statistical information ¦ which they had collected relative to the deplorable state of the people , the self-elected Committee refused them admission without a hearing , or assigning any reason whateTer for their rejection ; thus depriving the country of the valuable information they were prepared to give , and offering an insult to the labouring classes in the rejection of the representatives to -whom they iad entrusted their affairs . .

      In consequence of these illiberal and uncharitable proceedings on the part « f those calling themselves ministers of religion , a public meeting was held in the TT * n of Science , on the 19 th of August , which was Tery numerously attended , and on which occasion several important resolutions were adopted , * but particularly the following , which we beg to call your

      attention to : — " That , considering the extreme distress and suffering dow existing in Great Britain , and that none of the wealthy and represented classes seem disposed to do justice , or even listen to the complaints of the industrious millions , there ia no hope for them but in their own exertions . This meeting is , therefore , of opinion that the universal people should take into consideration the propriety of immediately convening a Conference to which can be sent persons in whom the people have entire confidence—persons chosen without

      respect to class , creed , religion , or politics—persons who can come prepared to state fully the feeiings which the people entertain , and their opinions as to the best methods of substituting order , peace , and safety , for the present confused , unsettled , and unnatural condition of Boeiety . This meeting also determines to appoint a Committee of arrangement , to ascertain , in the first instance , the degree of approbation which this suggestion meets ¦ with ; and if a large portion of the people be in favour of such a step , they be empowered to give notice of the same to the country at laTge , and make arrangements for the h" 1 ^ ' ^ g of the meeting . "

      The purport of this address is to ascertain how far the people generally are favourable to the project ; and as the appeal is not made to any psxtical&r sect or party , but to society at large , Associations of every description , Whether religious , political , or Trades' Societies , are requested to send their opinions to the Secretary immediately , so that , if the plan be approved , steps can be frit-en to carry the same into effect .

SIR , —On Sunday last , i Angust 27 th ) whilst roaming through tha green lanes of the lovely parish of Iwyford * ( a Bequestered spot near Acton ¦ , I -was accosted by the gamekeeper of Squire Goodby , the present owner of tlie Twyford estate , who te' . d me that I was on a trespass , and disturbing some invisible game ; I laughed at this , and told him that though I had ¦ wal ked there for years , I had not seen even so much" game" as a single sparrow , le : alone hares , w hich h e said w e r e to b e found in the hedges , and as far it being forbidden ground , there was the path to disprove it ; that there wj& a path he admitted , because he could not very well rfftny it , seeing that the line was so well trod , but then thai was not for the people , and if ever used by them it was only when persons like myself came throngh the gaps by stealth . I told him not te talk to me of his " private property" a 31 ife well acqua i nted with that

      place , long before he or his master came , and as for enclosures , I denied the right of any individual to appropriate that to themselves which in right belonged to the public Having passed through that portion of tLe lane where hares and pheasants are " supposed" to dwell , you may think that the ¦ armed :, keeper left me ; he did not do so ; he shouldered his gun , and with an air important as he deemed his calling , followed me foil half a mile ; down an adjoining lane ; until I had got fairly out of sight of the estate . I told him that English liberty had indeed come to something -when a " free subject" was followed about -with an aimed keeper , and that I Ehould let the public know of it through the medium of the paperB . " You may do as you please about that , " sail he , " I have done no more than my duty and what master told me to do .

That your Lordship ' s Memorialists caannot believe that it his been the policy of that Government of which your Lordship is a member , to sacrifice the present and perhaps the future health of prisoners confined for political offences ; that there is something so outrageous to common humanity in the bare supposition of Fuch vindictiveness , that your Memorialists 'would fain Relieve that they have but to- lay tins case before your Lordship , in order to secure for the Bid Samuel Holberry , if not an abbreviation of his term of confinement , at least a relaxation of his prison tra&oentj or , what we yet more earntsiJy petition for ,

      Aberdeen . —On Monday the 30 th , after the usual busia-eas af the Union was over , Duncan Nicholson delivered an essay , in which he exposed the fallacies of the various nostrums which have been proposed to ameliorate the condition of the suffering millions , and showed by the promptitude with which the people came forward and exposed them , that they had no confidence im their bettering their condition ; Uiat they would countenance no agitation which had not for ite object the enfranchisement of themsalves , that would restore to them their long-withholden rights ; and that

      they would oppose and denounce all agitation , short of a full meed of justice to the long-injured and oppressed many . After some discussion upon the French Revolution , three hearty cheers for the liberation of the " Lion , " and a vote ot thanks to the Chairman , the meeting broke up , beiDg highly pleased with the night's proceedings . I may state that the entrance to the meeting room was decorated -with flags and banners ; during the day , a cap of liberty , and a large star , with O'Connor , and the motto " No surrender . "Correspondent .

      Labgo—Monday being the day on which Mr . Feargus O'Connor was to be liberated from that to the Whigs disgraceful , but to him honourable imprisonment , a few of the Chartists here assembled in a eonspicuous part of a farm road , above the town , and precisely at one o'clodc ( the hour at which O'Connor was to be liberated ) gave seven tremendous peals with a large cannon , being persuaded that the time ia fast approaching when the disinterested leaders of the people , in this grand movement , shall no longer wear a felon ' s chain , but shall enjoy that along with the

      oppressed and insulted producers , that liberty which is not only theirs by birthright , but also by the gift of beneficent Heaven . After three cheers was given for O'Connor , Fros t , W illiams , and Jones , and thes » glorious privileges for which the country ia struggling , the meeting quietly broke up . Truly this day is one worthy of being had in remembrance , by those slaves of the British Isles for whom the good man has struggled , as an earnest that their own redemption draweth ni gh , when the banner of liberty shall be unfurled , and the GommAnd given to the prisoners " show yourselves , and to the oppressed go free .

      Bro t he r s , —We address yon upon the importance of providing Cheshire with a regular lecturer . It is a subject which has engrossed much of our serious attention , and our opinion is , thai the good cause would be much advanced by rach a step being taken . Cheshire , it is well known , has not hitherto occupied the position which it might do , as regards the struggle now going forward in the cause of liberty ; we , therefore , deem it most essential that a lecturer be provided for the purpose of disseminating Chartism in the towns in Cheshire . We are also of opinion that such a course would tend materially to unite the energies of the people of this important county , as wall as add many te our

      ranfc who now withhold their snpport through ignorance of our principles ; and , as reason and argument are our great , our only weapons , we do earnestly recommend the different towns in Cheshire , where associations exist , to consider this important object It is with grea t p leasure , we can say , that Feargus O'Connor , Esq . is again amongst us , and will encourage us with his presence , and animate us with his eloquence . Let us , by cur exemplary conduct and perseverance in the cause , and by brotherly aSectitn for each other , prove ourselves worthy of tuch a leader . Another important subject , which wc wish to bring before you , is the propriety of sending a representative to the forthcoming ccnvetUoa . We tope and trust you -will Luld

We particularly request that our friends in New Mills , Glossap , and Hayfleld , will send delegates to oar next me * ting , in order to enter into such arrangements as may appear beet calculated to accomplish oar object . In conclusion let us hope that every Chartist will treat his fellow man as his brother , rendering good to all and evil to none . Signed on behalf of Vho Delegates , John Ellison , Chairman .

      CUTVINOCK . —O'Connor's liberation was celebrated here by a friendly meeting in the evening , John Millar in the chaif , who , after reading 0 Connor ' s letter to the fustian jackets , as well as the one to Normanby , observed that the time had now arrived for the solution of the great charge of the Whigs—that O'Oonrior was bribed by the Tories to do their dirty work ; he was now at large , and it would soon be seen whether he would oppose their continuing in office , or not , -with the same power and magnanimity with which he hurled the Whigs from the sweets of a court , and the presence of a lovely Queen , —the puppet , as Lord John frankly admitted , of their will ; that he would do bo he never had the slightest doubt , and his noble advocacy of its necessity would soon cover the Whigs with shame for the many calumnies v ; bich they have heaped on his head . It was only for the people to do their duty , and O'Connor was the maH to lead them on to victory , and

      establish their rights on a sure foundation , not built with mortar , but cemented by the universal consent of the whole people . The speaker was listened to with profound attention , and received the hearty congratulations of all present , who were not a few , though the moral-force Chartists have turned out , what was always suspected , mere Whig Corn Law repealers , and consequently have withdrawn from the Chartist ranks , bnt their Becbssion is more than compensated for by the unanimity which now prevails among the really sealous in the cause of Chartism . At the close of the Chairman ' s remarks , Alexander Kerr , proposed that a committee be chosen to draw up a congratulatory address to Mr . O'Connor , which was seconded by Robert M'Kervail , and unanimously agreed to , after ¦ which the meeting broke up in the utmost good feeling , and high in hopes of soon seeing the movement revived in all its former glory .

      CARItlSXiB . — New Council op the Carlisle Association . —At a public meeting held in Caldewgate , on Wednesday , Sept 1 st , Mr . John Armstrong in the chair . A balance-sheet of the accounts of the association , was laid before the meeting ; after which , the following brief but excellent report , was read to the meeting by the chairman and adopted by the meeting . My friends , in consequence of the late trials which you were called upon to inske your own , and to which you responded with an energy , evincing a determinatien to prevent , if possible , the triumph of injustice . In consequence of this circumstance , your council were prevented from submitting their acconnts and reporting their progress at the usual time . In despite of truth , justice slumbers when we consider what was brought

      to bear on the occasion—when we reflect that gross perjury in all its hideeusness , that the instruments of those , who luxuriate on your labour in all the demoniac complacency , peculiar to insensate tyranny . When we consider these things , we marvel not that justice slumbers , and that you still complain . So elevated in their supposed greatness—so absent in all moral feeling , are your local oppressors , that , though they are aware we suffer indescribable privations , they in the baseness of their souls require and expect , that not one sigh should move our bosoms—thtt no expression of indignation should escape our lips . Ah ! such convictions may be held—such feelings cherished by tlios * who were never schooled in adversity—who never experinced the visfisitocles p # culiar to the working man . And who ,

      therefore , never obtained that knowledge of the primary cause of those evils which afflct society , nor the extent of those pains which you feel ; yet these are the men who make laws for you , who hold your very existence on their lips . Your Council are aware that the poverty resulting from the oppression under which we all groan prevents you from assisting them in carrying out those measures so necessary for securing political and social emancipation . They are aware that were your power equal to your will , liberty would be effected by one energetic effort ; bnt though these circumstances present themselves as obstacles in your onward march to freedom , they hope you will not despair . In the present state of social and political affairs , wealth will have the preponderating power . Those who possess

      that wealth , having interests in opposition to ours , necessarily oppose us in all our endeavours to wrest from them the possession obtained by force and chicanery . Yes , my friends , they will , until the moment of your liberation , continue to gorge on your already emaciated bodies . What do you learn from these facts ? You learn that a continuance of that struggle which has characterised your Movement is necessary for the consummation of your wishes . The farther you advance ia the knowledge « f your wrongs , which is also the knowledge of your rights , you will necessarily be more vigorous in your opposition to those who wish to perpetuate those wrongs . Your tyrants , seeing your determination , will of course , in their dying agony become more desperate . The quarterly accounts of the

      association have been regularly audited and settled , and are submitted to your consideration ; and by which you will perceive , that they exhibit a small sum in your favour . You will shortly have an opportunity of meeting your beloved patriot , who Las just escaped from the dungeon ot tyranny . Your council hope that you will give him such a reception as his great merits deserve and your limited means will allow , remembering , that it is not the mere combination of parties which we distinguish from other individuals , by name Feargos O'Connor , Esq ., but , that we appreciate him because the principles of truth are proclaimed and cherished by him , which principles have existed coequal with time , and would continue to exist if tbe material world were annihilated . The meeting then

      proceeded to the election of the following persons , as members of the council for the ensuing quarter : —John Armstrong , chairman ; Thomas Sinclair , treasurer ; Joseph Richardson , secretary : Joseph Broome Hanson , James Arthur , John Routled ge , William Farish , Win . Atkinson , William Knutt , James Ferguson , Henry Cadell , Henry Bowman . Correspondencence was read from Brighton and DDndee , which at a latter meeting of the council waa ordered to be answered by the secretary . Mr . J . B . Hansen addressed the meeting at considerable length , on the liberation of Mr . O'Connor , for which he said he did not thank the Whigs , for they were a set of base towardJy wretches , who had proved themselves wholly incapable of ruling the destinies © f this great nation . The meeting then adjourned .

      TONBRIDGE—This is but a dark and unenlightened part o ! the country ; yet by the help of your bright Star of the > or t h , and other talented , though cheap , publications , the cause of the People ' s Charter is making some little progress even here . A society was formed here a fe w y ear s ag o , by a few working men who felt the degraded situation in which they were placed by being excluded from the representation , which , up to the present time , has been steadily progressing . W e have adopted the People ' s Charter as our polar star , feeling sat ' iaBed that whatever nostrums may be put forth by either Whigs or Tories , tfeat nothing but a Radical Reform of the representative system will ever satisfy the wanta of the people , or cure the evils under which the country labours . On

      Monday , the 30 th August , the fourth anniversary was held at the Chequers Inn , the large room of which was crowded to excess , Mr . Payn in the chair , who stated the exertions the Society had made for the promotion freedom and good government They had got nearly 508 nimes to the National Petition , and likewise for the release of the Chartists , had established a political library , and distributed some hundreds of political pamphlets and Chartist Circulars , and were still continuing to do bo . He urged them to go forward till they had obtained equal laws and equal rights for all . and , amid loud cheers , introduced Mr . Hetherington of Londen , who addressed the meeting at great length on the principles and practice of the two great factions who have so long misguidbd this country . —Correspondent .
