" ; : ! SURGEON , &o . 13 , Trafalgar Street , Leeds . And every Thubsday ; , at No . 4 , George StreeV Bradford , HAVING devoted his studies for many years exclusively to the various diseases of the generative and nervous system , in the removal of those distressing debilities arising from a secret indulgence in a delusive and destructive habitj and to the successful treatment of ; VENEREAL AND SYPHILITIC DISEASES , Continues to be consulted from nine in the morning till ten at night , and on Sundays till two , —and country patients requiring his assistance , by making only one personal visit , will receive such advice and medicines as will enable them to obtain a permanent and effectual cure , when all other means have failed . In recent , cases of a certain disorder a perfect cure is completed in one week , or no charge made for medicine after that period , and in those casea where other practititioners have failed , a perseverance in his plan , without restraint in diet , or hindrance from business , will ensure to the patient a permanent and radical cure . ; / It frequently happens that in moments of thoughtlessness a person imbibes a disease where suspicion is least likely to be excited ; : this state of seourity leads to a want of cauWon which aggravates the nature of the complaint . But where immediate application is made , the corroding poison is checked in its infancy , smothered ere it takes root , and destroyed before its venom can effect a perceptible appearance in the system . —Where the disease has been allowed to exist and remain , the more cause have we to fear the undermining influence of thia poison , and a mere removal of its external appearance is not to be depended upon ; a thorough cure must be achieved to prevent a return of the disease , andieave the system free from ail infection . A complete knowledge of the symptoms and treatment of these insidious and dangerous diseases , can onl be acquired by those who are in daily practice , and have previously gone through a regular course of Medical , Instruction ; for , unfortunately , there are hundreds who annually fall victims to the ignorant use of Mercury and other dangerous remedies , administered by illiterate men , who ruin the constitution by suffering disease to get into the system , which' . being carried by ths circulation of the blood into all parts of the body , the whole frame becomes tainted with venereal poison , and most unhappy consequences ensue , at one time affecting the skin , particularly the head and face , with eruptions ana ulcers , closely resembling , and often treated as scurvy , at another period producing the most violent pains in the limbs and bones , which are frequently mistaken for rheumatism ; thus the whole frame becomes debilitated and decayed , and a lingering death puts a period to their dreadful sufferings . : What a grief for a young person in the very prime of life , ib be snatched out of time , and from all the enjoyments of lifej by a disease always local at first , and which never proves fatal if properly treated , as all its fatal results are owing either to neglect or ignorance . - Mr . TWSb invariable rule is to give a Card to each of his Patients as a guarantee for cure , which he pledges himself to perform , or return his fee . For the accommodation of either sex , where distance or delicacy prevents a personal visit , his PURIFYING DROPS , p rice 4 s . 6 d , can be had of any of the following agents , with printed directions so plain , that they may cure themselves without even the knowledge of a bed-fellow . They "are particularly recommended to be taken before persons enter into the matrimonial state , lest the indiscretions of a parent are the source of vexation to him the remainder of his existence , by afflicting his Innocent but unfortunate offspring with the evil eruptions of the malignant tendency , and a variety of other complaints , that are most assuredly introduced by the same neglect and imprudence . ¦ '• . ¦' . ¦'¦' .

THE CORD I AL BALM OF S YR IAC UM Is a gentle stiiritilant and renovator of the impaired functions of life , and is exclusively directed to the euro of such complaints asarise from a disorganization of the Generative System , whether constitutioiial or acquired , loss of sexual power , and debility arising from Syphiltic disease ; and is calculated to afford decided relief to those who , by early indulgence in solitary habits , have weakened the powers of their system , and fallen into a state ef chronic debility , by which the constitution is left in a deplorable state , and that nervous mentality kept up which places the individual in a state of anxiety for the remainder of life . The consequences arising from this dangerous practice are not confined to its pure physical result , but brooch to moral ones ; leading the excited , deviating mind into a fertile field of seductive error —into a gradual but total degradation of manhood- —' into a pernicious application of those inherent rights which nature wisely instituted for the preservation of her species ; bringing on premature deoripitude , and all the habitudes of old age : —such a one carries with him the form and aspect of other men , but without the vigour and energy of that season ^ which Jiis early youth bade him hope to attain . How many men cease to be menj or at least , cease to enjoy manhood atthirty ? How many at eighteen receive the impression of the seeds of Syphilitic disease itself ? the consequences of which travel out of the ordinary track of bodily ailment , covering the frame with disgusting evidences of its ruthless nature , and impregnating the wholesnme stream of life with mortal poison ; conveying into families the seeds of disunion and unhappiness ; undermining domestic harmony ; and striking at the very soul of human intercourse . The fearfully abused powers of the-human Generative System require the most cautious preservation ; and the debility and disease resulting from early indiscretion demand , for the cure of those dreadful evils , that such medicine should . be employed that is most certain to be successful . It is for these cases Messrs . Perry and Co . < particularly designed their CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM i which is intended to relieve those persons , who , by an immoderate iudulgence of their passions , have ruined their constitutions , or in their way to the consummation of that deplorable state , are affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach , a 9 the various affections of the nervous system , obstinate glect 3 , excesses , irregularity , obstructions of certain evacuations , weakness , total impotency , barrenness , &o . ¦•¦ -: ; ' -, - . ¦ : ¦ . - . •;• . " ¦ - ¦¦' . . ¦; . : ,: ¦ V . . , ¦ ,. As nothing can be better adapted to heV * nd nourish the constitution , so there is nothing more generally acknowledged to be peculiarly efficacious in all inward wastiHgs , loss of appetite , indigestion , depression of spirits , trembling or shaking of the hands or limbs , obstinate coughs , shortness of breath , or consumptive habits . It possesses wonderful efficacy in all oaBesof syphilis , "fits ' , head-ache , weakness , heaviness and lowness of spirits , dimness of sight , confused thoughts , wandering of the mind , vapours and ipaelancholy ; and all kinds of hysteric complaints are gradually moved by its use . And even where the disease of Sterility appears to have taken the firmest hold of the female constitution , the softning tonic qualities of the Cordial Balm of Syriacum will warmi and purify the blood and juices , increase the animal spirits , invigorate and revive the whole animal machine ^ and remove the usual impediment to maternity . This medicine is particularly recommended to be taken before persons enter into the Matrimonial State , lest in the event of procreation occurring , the

He had suffered from a most distressing asthma , cough , &c , for above seven years , but , after using one box at 2 a . 9 d ., is quite a new being . The most remarkable part of his case is this—his finger and toe nails , which had become so diseased that they were quite unsightly , have been replaced by new and : perfect ones . This has been considered by mauy who have visited him as a curiosity and wonder ; for my part , I have ceased to wonder at any cure effected by Old Parri I continue to enjoy the best of health and spirits , and am yours very respectfully , John Osbornb , " Late of her Majesty ' s 52 nd Regiment of Foot , discharged incurable by the Regimental Doctors .

" Gentlemen ,- —Were I to enumerate all the Cures and Benefits obtained by taking this famous remedy ( and are offered tome ) , it would require a book as large as a Church Bible to write them in I Not a day passes but some one comes to acknowledge the blessings of a cure-- ^ 8 ome one being made free in their limbs from pain and rheumatism , some cured of sick head-ache of Jong standing , some from violent bilious attacks , others cured of the ague , of swelled legs , and sore legs , for curing the palpitation of the heart , and , wonderful torelafce 11 old men and women say , since they took Old Parr s Pills , they have enjoyed better health , better spirits , better appetite , had more nerve and strength than ¦ they had experienced for the past twenty years , and that Old Parr is like new life t 6 them , for they feel all those delightful changes in the systejn . In fact , these wonderful Pills appear to ' contain all the virtues of the ' pothecaries shop , without having to go through all the regular doses of draughts arid boluses . " My sale , instead of decreasing , increases . Since last August , when I received the first supply of Parr ' s Life Pills ( with the four gross you maynow send me by first conveyance ) , I have had 2 , 076 boxes at Is .

"Another Lady who vfas recommended to try them , a few weeks since , came to say she had only taken a few of the Pills , but she felt so much better she was certain Old Parr ' s Pills were excellent , and she had no doubt they would be generally used in every family . "A young Lady ( twenty years old ) had been subject , for a long time , to much pain in her chest , —it was so bad at times , she could neither sit still , eat , or drink , and the pain increasing to such a degree she was fit to sink under it . Old Parr ' s Pills were recommended : she took one small box of them , according to direct ion , and they appeared to give some trifling ease ; they were , however , persevered in , and a large box completed & radical cure , and she has found herself better in health ever since , ¦•• These cases , with many more similar ^ I can speak to as being faithful .

      TO THE WORKING MEN OF SCOTLAND . Pellow-Cocstrtjiex , —^ tn my last letter , I endeavoured to prove to you that the rejection of the National Petition was contrary to the principles of d&r tlsm , and that the objections urged were not snfficienV . y forcible to induce reasoning men to deny their English and Irish brethren an opportunity of expressing "ifcelr grievances . The common argument that no extraneous matter should be Introduced in a petition praying for the People ' s Charter , appears to me very fntile , aft er the lengthened statements made in the last petition concerning the Earl of Cardigan , Captain Tnctett , and many other persons , democratic as well as aristocratic I -would ask , -whtther our grievances do not deserve a more honourable reward than the names or conduct of blustering fools in Hie House of Lords or the House of Commons ?

      Thut part of the subject may be dismissed , and the xeal ground of objection brought prominently forward , And in doing so , I feel satisfied that , unless more powerful reasons remained unstated , the objectors ara too acute and sensible to be satisfied themselves -with the ¦ weak position they have chosen . Jealousy and prejadica are contemptible weapons amongst Chartists , and their aspirations will not pas 3 current for solid argument in Scotland . It appears to me that the more serious objections may be disposed of under three heads . First objection , that a repeal of the Irish "Union is mentioned . Second objection , that the English Poor Law is denounced . Third , that a repeal of the Com Laws is not prayed for .

      I am satisfied from my knowledge of the men who object , and also from reports in the public press , that these three heads embrace all the solid objections worth answering . These objectors , under the first head , act under the idea that because we introduce the repeal question , it is playing a game between O'Connor and O'ConneU . To this I reply that the question of Repeal is a matter for the Irish people to resolve upon , and is a simple qse&tion between right and wrong not between men .

      If a majority of the Irish people decide open Repeal , { and that is all we say or mean in the petition ) , then they onght to have it , and I shall go with the . Irish people , whether O Connellis against them , or O'Connor for them . It is not for Scotland but for Ireland to

      nrge it as an objection that the Repeal question is introduced in the National Petition . Ireland approves and Scotland objects , not that Repeal should also extend to Scotland , but that Repeal is mentioned at all for Ireland , where the Union presses injuriously , and consequently where separation would benefit the complainera . I repeat again , it is a question Ireland alone has to decide upon , and , as far as I can judge of men , O'Connor means to have Repeal for Ireland , if Ireland wants it ; and O'Connell means to speculate on the credulity and contributions of a warm hearted , loEg-connding , and much-abused people . I may also state once mere , that believing what I have stated of O'Connell to be true , the best service we can do Ireland is to force Dan to give her a real boon , or prove himself to be a mere adventurer in polities , and varnish-manufacturer for poor old Ireland .

      Tjttitbe proclaimed in Ireland that Scotland and England reject her claims for Repeal , and OConneB ' s hands are instantly strengthened by your refusal , and his words verified that the " Sassenachs" refuse justice to Ireland . Tou , my friends , can then imagine the heart-burnings which would arise—the divisiens which ¦ would ensue—the weakness we would exhibit ; and your common enemies would once more act upon the old maxim of the aristocracy , " Divide and conquer . " - Daniel O'CoDnell declares that we do not sympathise ¦ with Ireland . Let us prove it to be false , by compelling Dan on the other hand either to elevate or desert his colours in the cause of Ireland and justice . We need Ireland's help , we solicit it ; then let us indnce Ireland to co-operate with us by satisfying her that her grievances are to be recorded with ours , and her emancipation sealed on that day when Great Britain shall inscribe amoczht her statutes the People ' s Charter .

      The second objection arises from a deep-seated con-• nction in the minds of many Scotchmen , that the principle of the Poor Law Amendment Bill is good , and that conviction springs from a belief in the doctrines of Malthns . The heart of the objection lies in the body of Malthas . I can make considerable allowance for such a belief < ri « ting in Scotland , custom and education have contributed to make the Scottish people averse to pariah relief , and to consider such aid , even in cases of emergency , to be a disgrace to a labourer ' s family . The English people on the other hand have custom and education on the opposite side of the question , and ever since the reign of Queen Elizabeth the laws have commanded rn-dooT relief to the aged and infirm , and to those for whom no work could be found .

      Both nations have a distinct right to relief during sickness , protection during age , and food when out of wort and the fund from which relief should come ought not to be from casual charity , poor-rates , or soup-kHchenSj but from the church lands ; and , if their revenues are nob sufficient , froa all kinds ol property . The church lands in Scotland were divided amongst the aristocracy at the Revolution , and the clergymen ef the church inculcated it as a religions dnty that every man should endeavour to save oat of nis earnings a sum suitable to support him and his family , and that he should calculate for every possible emergency . The Scottish people , therefore , to serve the aristocratic holders of the lands of the old abbeys and monasteries

      < the produce ef which the poor formerly consumed ) did as they were tsugbt , and to the present day conceive that they are performing a moral and sacred duty by living upon indifferent food , wearing Insufficient elcthing , and renouncing as disgraceful that aid which , if ever relief was sacred , their ' s must be , because it originally was a church right , for the feeneflt of the p * or , to hold limrt in the country . I do not blame my countrymen as much as I lament the injurious results opon Scotland , and my heait bleeds when I see a poor , industrious , and worthy man , conscientiously fasting for the benefit of the landowners , and stinting himself , and his children of food and clothing , that he may save them from a just tax , and the performance of their dut . e 3 to the poor .

      My fellow countrymen , pause before you condemn Englishmen , and in their name I will not accuse you of following the habits of your fathers , founded , in this rtspect at least , upon mistaken , and to themselves unjust grounds . . The English Church lands , at the revolution , were not all transferred to the landlords as yours were . A large proportion was transferred to the Reformed Establishment , whose income is even now about nine millions a year . Queen E ! izibethv and her councillors made a law by which the people , instead of having relief at the old abbeys , should have a composition granted to them as part payment , and that was recorded in the 43 rd Act of her reign , wherein -work or wages wera to be found for the able-bodied , and indoor , or cottage relief for the aged , the sick , and infirm .

      Remember , this was only part of thBir rights , as the aristocracy , and particularly Lord John Russell ' s family , had many slices out of the Church lands , thereby diminishing the fund . To this legal and just relief tile English people have been accustomed for centuries , and you cannot demand them to give up their rights . Nor can any man condemn men in demanding them unless he is prepared to approve of the aristocracy retaining the land of the poor , and will defraud the present appropriation of the church income . If you have such men amongst the Chartist ranks who are ready to pursue that line of argnmect amongst working men , I am satisfied few just men in Scotland will follow them-, and to make it impossible for any to do so , I will new inform you what the Xew Poor Liw has done .

      The poor rates in England are levied principally for the middle and working classes '; and to make them as odious as possible , one class of officers after another , ending with the new police , have been and are paid out « f the pow-ratea , This created dissatisfaction , and the Government 5 n « y > a < j of falling bick upon the old remedy , viz ., the church lands , ancient and modern , fell upon the poor , and began by refusing all in-door relief to the aged and infirm , < except in a Union Bastilei , and no relief to

      the able-bodied who could find no work , and conse quently were starving . The 2 few Poor Law made the Unisn Workhouse as abominable as a prisan for the purpose of forcing the working classes to adopt your system , or of working for any wages they could get , rather than enter a poor man ' s prison , where his diet , dress , and his treatment were those of a felon , and where , to carry out Malthus ' s notions , he was to be separated from his wife , and his wife from his children I will not enlarge upon tb . 8 cruelties of the sjstsm , as I wish only to reason with you .

      You will now perceive that the 43 rd of Elizabeth was passed , as your system was adopted , to benefit the holders of national and church lands . The New Poor Liw Bill was passed to benefit or remove the burdens of the rate-payers or middle class ; therefore , in both eases , has the labourer been deprived of his rights , and in both has bB been sacrificed to the interests of other classes . " 1 have given you a rapid historical view of the question , and traced the effects , as exhibited in tbi custom of both nations . You want no relief because you have been taught to consider the landlord ' s robbery of your poor ]* nAn as being jur t , and because your ancestors were deluded into the idea that the lands of the old abbeys were perversions an * trappings of idolatry , which no true Christian ought to defile his hands or home with . - - " - ¦

      The ^ Eoglish people relief , not only on Christian grounds , but on others equally reasonable and just , and tliey . leave you to defend yout aristocracy , whilst they oppose ttJeirs and their churchmen besides . TheEagllsh people go much deeper into the question fhanyoadd ; for " whilst you conceive it to be morally nghl to aaveont-of your present wages , they conceive both theft-earnings and yours to be inadequate for the purpose , and decline' admitting the principle yon act upon nntil they have not only a fair wage for their labour , but also a landed provision for the poor who may be in the land .

      Untitled Article

      If your national burdens were removed , and your ¦ wages doubled , then your Baving clause mighkbe introdaced ; but whilst the burdens have been increased and wages lessened , they think it an additional wrong that their legal provision should also be taken away when they have become poor by causeB over which they are not permitted to have any cordrouL You say it is morally wrong to ask or receive relief ; and you would be right if you had justice done to you and a political power always to enforce it ; and applj your rule only to the able bodied who refuse to work .

      The English people instead of supposing that they are morally wrong to marry and have a family , conceive it to be morally right , and the wrong to be at the door of those who have created a system of oppression under which a labourer cannot ears enough to support the largest family he could have . The English people also conceive that it is morally wrong to support or submit to oppression in any form ; and , placing the cause of poverty , and starvation , and Poor Laws at the proper door , they demand an efficient and enduring remedy in the Suffrage . You perceive by this time that habit and education have , in a great measure , produced your separate systems , and whilst I lament an evil habit , I ask without fear of contradiction , which customs have justice on their side , the English with the poor , or the Scotch without them .

      . I am , my fellow-countrymen , satisfied that you will reason upon this letter and arrive at a proper conclusion , and whilst I leave the objectors of the National Petition as defenders of aristocratic robbery and pious fraud , I shall conclude by remindingyou that our Convention acted upon an extraordinary rule of legislation in rejecting one petition before they had drawn up a better . Yours , sincerely , In the cause of justice , P . M . M'Douall . "Wisbeach , Cambridge .

Peddik thb Victim ;—The following extract from a letter received from Mrs . Peddie , by a friend , shews that the situation of this unfortunate man is still little better : — «« He has no prospect of being relieved of any portion of the term of his sentence , but wishes much that he might by any means be removed to York Castle . To give you some idea of the horrors of a winter ' s evening spent in Beverley House of Correction , I shall make the following extract from bisletter : —

      " I expressed a wish to the inspector who lately visited me , that I might be favoured with a fire in my cell during the dead of winter , where I am locked up at six o'clock at night , without fire or light Sleepless nights are one of the consequences of my complaint ; Indeed it is generally in the night that I Buffer most acutely . The window of my cell fronts the east , the iron frame of which either from its nature , or clumsy construction , does hot fit the wall closely , so that it admits the » ir very freely ; it is moreover placed

      immediately at the foot of the bed . In a direct line with it , at the top of the bed , is a large hole in the wall , above a foot square , meant as a ventilation I presume , but which acting upon the window , keeps up during the night a constant draught or current of air upon the face of the sleeper , which , during the iate strong east winds became so powerful as on some occasions to move the bed clothes above me ; and I have not once , but often , found tracts ot small books left by me upon my bedstead at night , strewed over the floor in the morning by the strength of the breeze . '

      " In addition to this sorry accommodation , my husband has suffered so much from the dietary system of the place on bis stomach , that he has been frequently under the necessity of starving himself for a few-days to get rid of it . After much petitioning he has been allowed the great boon of one herring two days in the week . He has also been allowed an additional blanket , for which he is thankful , and which he considers a real blessing . The only hope in which it appears his friendB can serve him in , if possible to get him removed to York Castle . "

      Extensive Conflagration in Belfast—We regret to announce the complete destruction by fire of Mr . Duffield ' s extensive provision stores in James's-street . The fire broke out last ( Thursday ) night , between ten and eleven o ' clock , and at the time we went to press , presented a most alarming aspect , the whole range fronting the street being one mass of flame . Tke fire seems to have commenced in the rear part of the store , and quickly extended over the whole of thia extensive and valuable building , notwithstanding the exertions of the different fire-engines , which were speedily brought to the spot . That part of the buildings facing James's-Btreat , is about 150 feet in length , and three stories in height ; and , when in full blaze , presented an appearance much resembling , though on a somewhat smaller scale , the dreadful

      fire in the Tower of London , Notwithstanding the terrents of rain which ^ pjrared down during the whole time thousands of spectators were collected on the spot , watching with anxiety and wonder the progress of the alarming scsne . We were informed that the store was full of hams and other provisions ; but as to the pecuniary extent of the devastation w # have no means of knowing at present . We have not learned whether the property was insured . The manner in which the officers and men of the 29 th Regiment exerted themselves was beyond the highest praise which we could bestow , and the police force , ably directed by Mr . Coulson , deserve similar praise . So much of the property as could be removed from the premises was carried out and thrown into the street , and the greatest precaution used to prevent any of it being carried off . — Belfast News Letter .
