      LETTER FROM MR . WM . HICK , ftO& THERN STAR OFFICE , LEEDS . Northern Star Office , Leeds , March 17 th , 1842 , CCp entlemen , —You will oblige by forwarding n IX your earliest convenience , the same qointiu of PAKR'S LIFE PILLS as last sent . Wtiie } am writing I cannot refrain from communicating tti flattering intelligence of the great goodyour pillg jj ! doing in Leeds and its neighbourhood . It & dead . a great error to find fault with a medicinemeteh because it is a patent one ; and more especuuj since its use has contributed so largely to the public health . The fact is , however , predjudice is fog t giving way , as it always must where the pilW tried . A few cases in point may serve to confix * and illustrate what I have asserted . " A young female came into the shop to-day fa . box , who stated that they had done her immense good . She had been troubled with a hoarseness bo bad that no one could hear her apeak ; but haW taken a few boxes of PARR'S LIFE PILLS , s fi was completely restored , as was evident by the ' mj . ' - she spoke . " Very many cases of extraordinary cures ii « occurred among the aged workpeople , both male tad female . In one mill , an aged , couple , enfeebled fc » disease and debilitated by premature oldage , ]^ become almost past work ; they were persoadedtn try a few boxes of PARR'S LIFE PILLS , & ? £ a week were restored and strengthened that % could pursue their employment with pleasurel and profit ; so much to , that from being unable to iro rk at their calling more than two days in the week , and this with great physical difficulty and languor , tier can now not only do a full week ' s work , % orer . hours besides . Bad as trade is here , the di ^^ being favourites with the mill owner , are en&i ^ - ' get as much employment as they can do , whii ^ jj excifce'd the envy of those younger persons who ^ been employed in their absence ; and it is a laugju ^ fact , that Parr ' s Pills come in for a share eft ^ rancour . The old people continue to take tte-pilig regularly in small quantities , and . find them asneces * sary to their health and prosperity as their Mr food , \ " The next and last case which I shall mention ^ this time , is one of a most extraordinary nature , I have not seen the individual myself , but I shall pyj . you the fact as I have received it from his employer and from Mr . J . Hobson . who haB frequently seen him since his convalesence . The man is a working mechanic and had spent 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 fora long time of nothing but rice milk , the stomach refusing to tike anything stronger . His body was greatly emaciated and his temporal prospects clouded ; with a mind filled with melancholy forebodings for the future , ho returned to his friends at Leeds , where he was told by his medical adviser that should he be restored ! 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 his work , where he was seen a few days ago by Mr , Hobson , ( it being dinner hour ) eating beef-eteaka with great gusto ; and to whom he recited with pleasure and gratitude the cause of his then healthy eon * dition , together with a long history of his pig affliction ' Should the above three cases of cures be worthy of your notice , you are at perfect liberty to mita 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 CURE FROM THB CSS OF PABE ' s LIFS PILLS . Copy of a Letter just received by the Proprietors from Mr . Wm . Moat , 3 , Cobbett-streefc . Shaw ' e Brow , Saiford . " To the Proprietors of Parr ' s Life Pills . " Gentlemen , —I have the utmost pleasure into warding you this my own case of cure , effected solely by the persevering use of your Parr ' s Life Pols , Before having recourse to them . I had been for upwards of five years afflicted 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 chance of either relief or can than undergoing a surgical operation . Iwasihos driven almost to despair ; aud consulted the treatise written by Sir Astley Cooper , wherein he states that the operation is generally attended with considerable danger . I therefore determined not to risk bo painful and uncertain an experiment , but rather chose to leave the result to nature and Providence . Fortunately , I heard of the great fame of Pabb ' s Life Pills , and resolved to give them a fair trial . Icon * sequently t 6 ok them for some time without perceiving any benefit , but still kept persevering ; anil have now taken twelve boxes , and to my great joy I am perfectly well , the dropsy is entirely remored , together with a scorbutic affection , which lhadoeea much troubled with since my return from India a 1827 ; and now there is not a vestige of disease left in my Whole system , as I am now in better healtfi and spirits than I have been for fourteen years . < 1 feel certain you would have accounts of far more cures , if people would persevere in the use of ins pills a proper length of time , as I have done . I P « you my heartfelt thanks , and authority to paDusH this letter , and will gladly answer any applications either personally or by letter , and remain you grateful and obliged servant .

" The various forms of bodily and mental weakness incapaoity , sufferingand disease , faithfully delineated in this cautiously written ana practical work , are almost unknown , generally misunderstood , and treated upon principles correspondingly erroneous and superficial , by the present race of medical practitioners . Hence the necessity for the publication of a timely safeguard , a silent yet friendly monitor , or , whers 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 ynd hidden origin , and there are none to whom , as Parents , Guardians , Heads of Families , and especially of public Schools , is confided the care of young people , who ought to remain for a momeut devoid of that iaformatiou and those salutary cautions this work is intended to convey . Not only are ! the most delicate forms of generative debility neglected by the family physician , but they require for their safe management the exclusive study of a life entirely abstracted from the routiiie of general practice , 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 upon either in a moral or social view , we find the interests and welfare of mankind seriously involved . The effects of licentious , indiscriminate and secret indulgence in certain practices , are described'with an accaracy and force which display at once profound reflection and extensive practical experience . "—The Planet . 11 The best of all friends is the Professional Friend and in no shape can he be consulted with greater safety and secrecy than in "Lucas on Manly Vigour . " The initiation into vicious indulgenceits progress— 'its results in both sexes , are given with faithful , but alas 1 for human nature , with afflicting truth . However , the Authors have not exposed the evil without affording a remedy . It shows how 11 Manly Vigour" 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 consequences of early 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 aredeceived by the outward physical appearance of their youthful offspring . ; how the attenuationofthe 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 cauBe 3 ; and instead of being the natural results of oongeuital debility or disease , are the consequences of an alluring and pernicious practice , alike destructive to the mind and body . " —Bell ' s New Weekly Messenger . " 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 waBform its own opinion , and Will-demand that medical works for 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 , and 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 nonsequent upon unbridled sensualism . No human being can be the worse for its perusal ; to multitudes it must prove a warning beacon , a well- ' told appeal to reason , a permanent blessing . It is written in a clear intelligible 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 security of happiness in the marriage state is the chief anxiety of all ; but many dread entering upon wedded union , through a secret fear of unfitness for the discharge of matrimonial obligations . This essay : ; is most particularly addressed to all suffering under a despondency of the character alluded to ; and advice will be found calculated to cheer the drooping heart , and point the Way to renovated health .

He condnded by an earnest appeal to the Chartists of Manchester to give all the assistance in their power to their Irish brethren ; at the same time not forgetting they "themselves were engaged in battling with injustice ,

      which the Repeal of the Union would not remove , or anything short of the enfranchisement of the whole people effectually eradicate or destroy . Mr . Jackson sat downlondly applanaed . Mr .

      the interests of tke Association ; and in order to give each locality an opportunity of expressing their sentiments , we recommend the propriety of proceeding forthwith to the election of delegates to attend the said conference , and at the same time give those who may be elected such instructions as will enable them faithfully to represent the opinions of their constituents , both as regards any alterations that may be necessary in the plan of organisation , or arrangements requisite to the formation of a new and efficient Executive to watch over the interests bf the Association generally . " The amendment , being seconded , was , after a great deal of discussion , agreed to , and Ahe original resolu tion lost .

      South Lancashire , recommend county council meetings to be called as early as possible , throughont the "whole country , to nominate proper persons to be elected at public meetings , j for-the purpose of representing each county in a National Conference , to be held on the 17 th . of July , in the town of Birmingham .

Mantz moved the following resolution , — "That this meeting views with mingled feeling ! of Borrow and rezret tneconduct of certain of thelrish agitators in refusing the aid of the Chartist public ; considering that it is calculated to rouse the prejudices of the working people of the two countries ; but ; notwithstanding this refusal , we are determined to use all means in our

      power , both legal and moral , to ; assist the people of Ireland in carrying a Repeal of the Union . " Mr . Brown , in an eloquent and impressive manner , which told wsll , seconded the resolqtioa . Mr . Dwaine , the chairman , made some excellent remarks , and averred , that although , as Repealers , they were bound to abide by the orders from Dablin , and not to receive Chartists into their ranks , yet Ithey had received no orders not to attend and co-eperate at meetings got np by the Chartists . He regretted exceedingly the mandate issued from Dublin , but trusted that it would soon die away . The conduct of the Chartists on that and ether occasions would have a great tendency to produce that effsct . While the Chartists continued to pursue

      aits course th « y hafi hitherto done , they should have his cordial co-operation . If errors had been committed , it was their duty , as men and as Christians , when these errors were retraeed , to overlook and forget the past .

      Sbpm £ ed Murdrb . Twenty-four * Years Ago . — The inhabitants of the village of Greatham , near Stockton ! were rtcentlv alarmed by the discovery of a female ' s skeleton nnder the paved floor of the workshop of Mr- Hopper , a joiner . From the position in = which the skeleton was found . it appeared that the [ body must have been completely doubled together ] and not been more than 18 inches under the surface . Information having been given to the authorities , Superintendent Bell and Sergeant Fergus were immediately sent to make inquiries , and they learned that an old woman , named Rebecca Oliver , who travelled round the country with a basket , was missed abont 2 4 years ago from her home at Greatham , where she then resided . In consequence , however , of her occasionally leaving her residence for a considerable time together , no inquiries wero ever made after her , until this discovery was made . It

      also appeared in evidence from several witnesses examined , that this old woman was on intimate terms with a person named Appleby , who slept under the same roof with her , and frequently accompanied her in her country excursions . A severe quarrel having at length taken place between them , they soon after parted . Afraid then to live by herself , lesthe should return and treat her ill * his place -was Bupplied by aperson of similar oharaoter named Brown . iwho lived with her in the same house , not more than thirty yarda from where the body was found . Hence suspicion naturally arose that the skeleton found was that of the unfortunate woman . An inquest has been held ; the jury gave it as their opinion that the evidence adduced was insufficient to prove the identity of the body , or by whom the supposed murder had beencommitted , and a verdict was returned to that effect .

      Rebecca and her Daughters . —The lawless depredators , known by the name of Rebecca and her daughters , appear not only gradually to increase in power and influenoe in Carmarthenshire , but it is pretty sure , that if they continue to progress in the same ratio as they have done during the last few weeks , civil power , as far as local authority goes , will beMBompletely subjugated , if , indeed , it be not already ] Their proceedings on Monday last affords a striking instance . of daring , and even BucocBsin setting the civil authority at defiance . On the day following the destruction of the Water-street-gate at Carmarthen , three men , named Thomas , Harries , and Boweu , passed through the gate , or rather through the apertme where the gate had previously

      been ,: refusing to pay tolL The toll-collector summoned them before the magistrates , to whom they said that Rebecca bad given them notice not to pay . They vf ere fined in the penalty of 40 s each , and costs , which not having -been paid , a distress warrant against their goods was issued . Some bailiffs and constables were sent to execute the distress warrant , but the offices were summ arily ordered by Rebecca ' s disciples to return , which they readily did . The magistrates , determined to enforce the law , " swore in" about thirty pensioners as special constables , who , together with a number of policemen , bailiffs , & . C ., proceeded on Monday last to execute the warrant . They succeeded in making the distraint with little or no molestation ; but ere they had proceeded

      a quarter of a mile with their booty , the loud sound of a trumpet assembled an immense concourse , amounting to several hundreds of Rebecca's daughters , some of whom had theirfaces blackened . They immediately compelled the constables to deliver up the goods , together with all the fire-arms and other weapons of defence in their possession . They then proceeded to demolish a wall , belonging to Mr . Davies ^ of Trawsmwr , a magistrate , for the county , who had offended them , and they gave the constables and police their choice , either to assist them in demolishing the wall , or run the risk of being stripped and sent to town naked . The officers made choice of the former alternative . We understand that about forty , additional special constables have been since sworn in . — -Cambrian .
