      CA . UTION i THE extraordinary demand for PARR'S' LIFE PILLS has induced several Bhopkeepers of mean and dishonest principles , to try to impose on the incautious varioua counterfeits composed of the most pernicious ingredients , merely for the sake of reaping an extra profit , totally regardless of the dreadful consequences which must ensue . Observe , that each Box of the genuine Medicine has pasted round it the Government Stamp , on which is engraved these words , PARR'S LIFE PILLS in White letters on a bed ground , none other can be genuine . In no instance has this invaluable Medicine failed to effeot a perfect care where due patience and perseverance has been exercised . Read the following from Mrs . Moxon , York : — M York , Sept . 7 , 1841 . " Gentlemen , —We shall feel obliged by your repeating the last order for Parr ' s Life Pills , and forwarding immediately by Pickford ' s Rails . Instances of extraordinary cures are continually occur * ring to us by their agency . One woman who had been reduced almost to the last stage of existence by extreme asthma , was , by taking two or three boxes , restored to health . Another instance is a man who had been confined to his bed by rheumatism for sixteen weeks ; quite incapacitated for walking ; but by simply taking two or three boxes of Parr ' s Life Pills can walk with all the activity and freedom of perfeot health . I could enumerate many other instances , but these will suffice to prove the value of the Medioine in ameliorating disease and confirming health . " I remain , your obedient Servant , " For M . Moxon , James Baynje . " From Me . Hollies , Chemist , Dudley . To the Proprietors of Parr ' s Life Pills . " Dudley , Sept . 14 , 1841 .

"Gentlemen , —! beg to tender my warmest thanks for the great benefit I have derived from your invaluable Medicine . I had for several years been labouring under severe attacks of illness , from difficulty of breathing , accompanied with excruciating pains in the chest ; and although I have been under the care of several eminent medical men , I could obtain no relief . Your celebrated Pills have completely restored me to health ; and I beg you will make this acknowledgment public , for the benefit of others similarly afflicted . 1 shall be happy to answer inquiries , either made personally , or by letter ( postpaid ) , addressed as above .

To the memory of OLD PARU , written on the discovery of his last Will and Testament , in which is contained the method of preparing his infallible Medicine , for conquering disease , and prolonging human lire . O , venerable Parr , lo , trumpet fame Again calls forth thy long-forgotten name ; Mortal of many years ! how blest the plan Thy mighty secret does reveal to man . From this auspicious hour shall evil cease , Mourning to joy shall turn , —discord to peace . Thy benign remedy to man gives power To lengthen out on earth his " little hour , " Disease to conquer , anguish drive away , And siokly sorrow change to joyous day ; Despair to banish from the dying man A God-like gift ! O do not lightly scan A boon so great , nor wisdom ' s purpose mar : God gave the power—his instrument was Parr . The above lines were written by a Lady near Nottingham , wbo had been cured of a grievous malady by Parr ' s Life Pills ; gratitude induced her to cause their insertion in the " Nottingham Review , " and other newspapers . " To the Proprietors of Parr ' s Life Pills . " Gentlemen , — Since I undertook the agency of this popular Medicine , I can with truth aver , that it has , to my own knowledge , been a very great blessing to scores of persons in this town and neighbourhood . Indeed , so numerous are the testimonials to the virtues of Parr ' s Pills in the cure of inveterate disease , that many persons who had been quite hope-1633 of any relief , hare obtained a permanent and perfect cure . To particularise would be useless , the cases are so numerous . One person was cured of a bad leg of fifteen years' duration ; another of Rheumatism of tea years' standing ; others of Asthma , &o . &o . These are among the Cures ; and numerous are the eases of Relief in Bilious and Liver Complaints , Sick Head-ache , Coughs , Colds , and Diseases of the Stomach and Digestive Organs , &o .

" Important . —Many persons , after learning that so many wonderful oures have been effected by PARR'S LIFE PILLS , have a great desire to procure the medicine which has done so much good . In doing this , however , caution must be observed , as certain individuals , without honour or honesty , are offering a dangerous substitute , instead of the genuine medicine .

PERRY & Co ., CONSULTING SURGEONS , 44 , Albion Street Leeds , ( Private Entrance in the Passage , ) and 4 , Great Charles Street , Birmingham , ILLUSTRATED BY EIGHT FINE ENGRAVINGS , THE SILENT FRIEND , A PRACTICAL TREATISE on Venereal and Syphilitic Diseases , in their mild and most alarming forms , shewing the different stages of those deplorable and often fatal disorders , including observations on the baneful effects of Gonorrhoea , Gleets , and Strictures . The Work is embellished with Engravings , representing the deleterious influence of Mercury on the external appearance of the skin , by eruptions on the head , face , and body ; to which are added very extensive observations on sexual debility , seminal weakness , and itnpotency , brought on by a delusive habit , all itsattendantaympathies anddangerous consequences considered , with the most approved mode of treatment and cure , without confinement or interruption from business , the whole accompanied by explanatory engravings , with general instructions for the perfect restoration of those who are incapacitated from entering into the holy state of Marriage , by the evil consequences arising from early abase , or syphilitic infection . / : This invaluable Work will be secretly inclosed with each box of Perry ' s Purifying Specific Pills , ( Price 2 s . 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d ., and 11 s . ) and the Cordial Balm of Syriacum ( Price lls . 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 ., 43 . 6 d ., and lls . per Box , aro well known throughout Europe and America , to be the most certain and effectual cure 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 ia made to these Pills for the cure of the above complaint , frequently contracted in a moment of inebriety , the 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 th « 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 of life miserable . The disorder we have in view owes its fatal result either to neglect or ignorance . Id the first stage it is always local , and easy to be extinguished by attending to the directions fully pointed out in the Treatise , without the smallest injury to the constitution ; but when neglected or improperly treated , a more local affection will be converted into an incurable and fatal malady . What a pity that a young man , the hope of his country and the darling of his parents , should be snatched from all the prospects and enjoyments of life by the consequences of one unguarded moment , and by a disease which is not , in its own nature , fatal , and which never proves bo if properly treated . It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to this horrid disease , owing to the unskilfulness of ^ iterate men ; who , by the use of that deadly

      VAXiUABXiE "WORKS . Just published , price 2 s . 12 mo . bound in eloth , FIFTEEN LESSONS ON THE ANALOGY AND SYNTAX OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE , for the use of adult persons who have neglected tho study of Grammar . BY WILLIAM HILL . The Lessons , in this Work , . are intended solely for the use of natives . They are divested , therefore , of all those hair ' s-breadth distinotious and unnecessary subdivisions in Analogy , which , if at all useful , can only be useful to foreigners . The science of Grammar is disentangled , in this Work from the folds of mysticism which have so long enshrouded it . The absurd and unmeaning technicalities , which pervade all other Works on Grammar , are exchanged for terms which have a definite and precise meaning , illustrative of the things they represent . The Parts of Speech are arranged on an entirely new principle , founded on a Philosophical Consideration of the Nature of Language , and applicable to all Languages . The necessary Divisions and Subdivisions are rationally accounted for ; and the Principles of Universal Grammar demonstrated , so fully that the meanest capacity may understand them as clearly as it understands that two and two make four . In Syntax . the formation of the English Language is exclusively consulted , without any unnecessary reference to other Languages . A majority of the numerous Rules given in most Grammars are shown to be little better than a heap of senseless Tautology . The necessary Rules are demonstrated upon rational Principles , and illustrated by a variety of Example . By the Usa of this Book and its accompanying Exercises , any person may , in a few weeks , acquire a good knowledge of Grammar without any of the disgusting drudgery , which , under the present System , prevents nine out of ten from ever acquiring a knowledge of Grammar at all . THE FOLLOWING TESTIMONIALS OF THE PRESS , Selected from u host of similar ones , may convey some idea of the public estimation in which this Worki 3 holden : — " Mr . Hill is evidently an original thinker . He attacks , with ability and success , the existing system of English Grammar , and points out the absurdities with which it is encumbered . Justly condemning the too frequent praotice of making pupils commit portions of Grammar to memory a 3 tasks , he maintains that the only proper way to the memory is through the understanding . . . . It is but justice to him to say that , in a few pages , he gives a more clear and comprehensive view of the structure of the English language than can be found in some very elaborate works .

      atANCHESTEB .. —The lively , sincere , industrious sod gjatematial Chartists of Brown-street , assembled ¦ wry Eumeronsly on Sunday evening , the room overilowing with a respectable sod attentive auslieaee ^ to hear the maa after their o « n heirt-the bold defender of their and his own right * -a credit to himself and Ms « derr-the tyrant ' s foe , the expo ** of . eiap-trap and Juunbng , and the friend of the millions— M . t . Junes Xetch . A fustian jacket -was called to the chair , irho , after a few remarks , introduced , in a flittering roanmer , the above " sharp-biting Leech" to &ddr « 3 s { the meeting , He commenced by analysing the speech made by C © L

      Thompson on Friday evening , answering him point by point ,. to the seeming eoncarrenoe of his hearers , and in an edifying and instructing manner . To give ail his points would be impossible , without taking up too sraeh room , which would be an injustice to the rest of oar correspondents . Colonel Thompson said there was a principle of selfishness in man , with which he ( Mr . Xeacfct perfectly agreed , and which , be contended , famished one of the most cogent reasons why the power should be extended to erery man who performed useful service to society , to protect himself against the influence of capital , and Vfce grasping , grinding , avarice and fijfl . hnaai of his fellow man . Selfishness was an

      inherent principle of human nature . It was that which sore or less propelled the tenons of all living beings Bat again , there was another principle , vis . justice , and which should not be lost sight of—the power should be placed in the majority to enforce it—to protect the labourer and his labour against tie capitalist and his capital—to protect the weak against the strong—to put down **< «*• ¦ most atrocious and unbearable system of tyranny and cruelty which was so prevalent , and to « nsure goodiood , good clothing and lodging to the producing miUiene—to do away with the phenomena which existed , which left the most useful class of society at the mere ; of the worthless , and that while the former -Were cooped mp in the workshops and the noxious , poisonoas , and hody-desteojing factories ; they were

      subject to the insults and the iron-heeled despotism of the Iattfit . Society Uiid the syeakfiDwissoeanied on a . tthepr& aent time , that Tice was virtue , tad Tirtae "rice . All . Kfcemes were resorted ta for the purpose of throwing one portion of the working classes into tbe streets and bringing the others lower in their wages , so that they were scarcely able to obtain an honest livelihood . It was the selfish principle assisted by the power of the law which protected property and left labour unprotected—that caused the masters to take the money from the operatives and enabled them to feed and exercise those speculating , gambling , and unbearing propensities , which allowed and stimulated them to go into the factory and take as maeb as 8 s . out of 16 s . Mr . Leach tfwn related what a working man would hare to pay

      even allowing him to get the former mm , and argued that the redaction in the wsges was cot all which operated injuriously to the interest of the working man , lor whilst his wages were reduced , his rents , leys , food and clothing were stationary , so that he would have to pay as much for his articles out of Ss ., as be would when getting double the sum . Hence it was , that thousands were brought from cottage houses into cellars , to be Pressed in rags and only half-fed . The tyrants , the cotton lords , the property clawwpiw , bad formed- & fool anprincipled and diabolical conspiracy , and having a power « ver the law , they had carriad their nefarious -designs into execution and sneered and laughed to scorn the working people whilst they were plundering them . Be denied the assertion that the interests of the middle

      classes and the working classes were identical Such as kiiers , publicans , and other small shopkeepers who stood behind the counter were somewhat identified , because the better the wages of the working classes , the larger were their profits . If then they depended upon the wages of the operatives , they must fall in the same proportion . Though snch was the ease , this class who had xiaen out of the ranks of the working classes , were generally speaking , the most haughty and ambitions , sod the inveterate eoemiea to liberty . These who bat a short time bad been lifted oat ef the paddle bule were the greatest tyrant ? . After referring to the Corn Law Repeal cry , Mr . Leach next adverted to the fuestion of machinery , and grappled powerfully with Colonel Thompson ' s observations .

      The speaker next shewed how property had enhanced in value , and referred to the property of JLord Egerton , wbo got a . private act passed , which would . benefit him no less than £ 10 . 000 by his coal mines , and -were it not for that act they , tha working classes , conld have had the coals laid at their door , twopence per hundred cheaper than they were paying . One man eould get an act passed for his own benefit , while the working classes might pray and petition seven years , and no notice be taken of them . He then referred to the taxes of the country , and was of opinion , that if they were to be taken off altogether , under present cireomstanees , the millions would not be benefited . The usurers would receive the benefit . He instanced the Stoctt > ort masters , who wanted to takelOs . from the

      apinnera . and showed its evil consequences . Mr . Leach then combatted the fallacies of the repealers , who said that the Chartists should assist for a repeal , ' because wages would come down -whether or not . - The Corn Xaw repealers were continually putting arguments into the Chartists' mouths , they made use of and then refuted thorn , and called them the arguments ef the Chartists . Mr . Leach , is conclusion , hoped that every working loan would attend the meeting on Tuesday evening , and sot leave it till the business was over . Let there be so hissing , shouting , or bawling . If the Corn Law Repeaters would hear the Chartists peaceably , why , then , the Chartists must bear them . He had . evaded their meetings of late , because they had been convened in an underhand manner . But for the future the

      Chartists Biost be present and test the intelligent working men of Manchester as to whether they deem machinery a Messing aa at present arranged , or a curse . There should he two chairmen and an umpire to decide betwixt them . Before b « sat down , he would wish to impress one thing spon thtir minds , which was , that until the working classes were in a position to claim their rights , they would remain as they were—slaves ; and when they asked for them they would ( as they were then ) be met with a satirical grin of despotism . Mr . Leach then sat down , after delivering an excellent lecture , for which he was applauded while speaking and-at the eoBdnsion . Mr . Whitaker then rose and moved the following resolution -. — " That the best thanks of this meeting are due , and are hsreby given , to Messrs .

      Christopher Doyle , James Leach , and Henry Yincent , far the spirited and manly manner in which they exposed the fallacies and deceit of the anti-Corn Liw party on Friday evening last in the Corn Exchange , and the talented manner in which they advocated and defended those just and natnral Sights contained in the People ' s Charter ; and this meeting further pledges itself they will sever agitate for anything short of a full measure of justice for the whole people , and that they are convinced can never be obtained until the People' Charter becomes the law of the land . " The speaker said the time had arrived when neutrality was a crime ; when they witnessed the distress on every side , it was the duty of every individual to come forward and declare his opinion . He

      perfectly agreed with the resolution ; he believed that justice would never be done to the working classes until they were in a position to do justice to themselves . At the meeting on Friday night , they would not let Doyle apeak until it was carried by a show of bands , and Mr . WatHns threatened that if the Chartists opposed them he and his party would attend every meeting for the purpose of opposing them . He was disgusted with the Corn Law party in bringing a resolution forward condemning Sir Robert for proroguing the House , and then at the end of it to attach all the misery to the operation of the Corn Laws , which was only an effect of class legislation . He was proud to see the men step

      forward as they did on that occasion , in vindication of of truth . It was the dnty of the working men to support tnem . Had they" been middle class men they would have received the thanks of the working men , and he could see no reason why they out of their own rants -were not equally as deserving . He . was glad to "witness the progress of the Temperance cause , and ol Chartism in Ireland . After other remarks he sat down fey moving the resolution . Mr . Clark , of Manchester , in a neat and suitable speech , seconded It Tha Chairman rose and put it , and was carried unanimously . Mr Xeach made a short speech in leply , in -which he ex posed the trickery of Cobden and his improved machi sery . The meeting then separated .
