BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS . Further Testimonials of the Efficacy of this Medicine TO ME . PROUT , 229 , STRAND , LONDON , Frimley , near Bagshot , ; Surrey , April 23 , 1843 , SIR , —I enclose three cases in which the parties therein named h » ve received great benefit from using Blair ' s Pills , and the truth of which I am at any time ready to make affidavit of if required . You aroi at perfect liberty to nublish them if you tbink proper . Hoping this may ' induce the incredulous to make a trial of the Pills , whioh will speedily convince them of their value . : I am , Sir , yours truly , JOHN J . GILES . Pirbrigbt , April 23 , 1843 . Dear Sib , —Upon your recommendation I sent for a box ofJBlair ' s Rheumatics Pills , and ta my astonishment a few doses entirely removed the tormenting pains toy wife had suffered so loner , but having caught a severe cold the rheumatism again returned , when having recourse to a few more rills , it again fled , and lias not since returned . The public are not generally aware of the efficacy of this truly valuable medicine , or few would . suffer from rheumatism . In iconseftuenoo of witnessing the effects of the above medioine in my own family , I recommended Edward ! Bridaer , now sixtyjseven years of age , a labourer ! and jobbing gardener , to apply to you , he being afflioted with rheumatism for twenty years ; he couldfscarcely get any sleep , being always worse wheninjbed , and unable to walk without the assistance of b stiok . You gave Kim some Pills , I saw him yesterday ; be told me he could new get rest , which He had been unable to do for a very long time , heHs still lame from the length of time he has been afflicted , but can now walk without muoh inconvenience tien or twelve nrilefi in the day , and can , as he says , dp any light work ; he has applied to me for a job at hoeing . It ib distressing to see a fellowcreature suffering such excruciating pain , when relief can be obtained by taking Blair ' s Gout and Rheumatic Pills ; I shall , for the benefit of those who may suffer , continue to recommend them . 1 S I am , dear Sir , yours truly , To Mn J . Giles , Esq ., GEO . INN WOOD . Frimley , Surrey . Blackwater , near Bagshot , Feb . 25 , 1843 . Deab Giles , —the effect of Blair ' s Pills has been everything I could wish for .

" The various forma of bodily and mental weakness incapacity , suffering and disease , faithfully delineated in this cautiously v ^ r itten and 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 , where debility has iaade threatening inroads , the means of escape and the certainty of restoration . The evils to which ihe book adverts are extensive aud identical in their seoret ynd hidden origin , and there are none to whom , as Parents , Guardians , Heads of Families , and especially of public Schools , is coufided the oare of young people , who oughfto remain for a moment devoid of that information and those salutary cautions this work is intended to convey . Not oulyarethe most delicate forma of generative debility neglected by the family physician , but they require for jtheir safe management , the exclusive study of a life entirely abstracted from the routine 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 , wo find the interests and welfare oi mankind seriously involved . The effectsof licentious , indiscriminate and sejoret indulgence in certain practices , are described with an accuracy and force which display at once profound reflection and extensive practical experience . !"—The Planet . " The best of all friends is the Professional Friend and in . no shape can he be consulted with greater safe : y and secrecy than in " Lucas on Manly Vigour . " The initiation into vicious indulgence —? its nrogress—its results in both sexea , are given with faithful , buc slas ! for human nature , With afflicting truth . However , the ] Authors have not exposed' the evil without affording a remedy . It shows how " Manly Vigour" temporarily impaired , and menutl and physical cmascul ^ tiou , produced by uneoutrolled 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 aud perspicuous style , displaying how often fond parents aredeceiyed by the outward physical appearance of their yputhfui offspring ; howtheattenuationofthe framo , palpitation of the heart , derangement of thenervoussystem , ] cough , indigestion , and attain of symptoms indicative of consumption or general decay , are often ascribed to wrong causes ; and instead of being the natural results of congenital debility or disease , are the consequences of an alluring and pernicious practice , alike destructive to the mind aud 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 indiscriminatelyL the world will form 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 aud the surgery of the eye ) an entire devotedness to a deeply important branch of studv . The tone of this book is highly moral , and it abouuds ia wellwritten , harrowing , vet correct displays ofthesufferinj » Ronsequeut upon unbrid ! ed sensualism . No human being can be [ the worse for its perusal ; to multitudes it must pijove a warning beacon , a welltold appeal to reason , a permanent blrssing .

LETTER FROM MR . WM . HICK , ^ ORTHERN STAR OFFICE , LEEDS «* Northern Star Office , Leeds , March 17 th , 1842 . ftp entlemen , —You will oblige by forwarding ^ at \ T your earliest convenience , the same quantity of PARR'S LIFE PILLS as last sent . Vyhile I am writing I cannot refrain from communicating the flattering intelligence of the great good your pills are doing in Leeds and its neighbourhood . It is clearly a great error to find fault With a medicine merely beoause it is a patent one ; and more especially since its use has contributed so largely to the publia health . The fact is , however , predjudice is fast giving way , as it always must where the pills _ are tried . A few cases in point may serre to confirm and illustrate what I have asserted . " A young female oame into the shop to-day for & box , who stated that they had done her immense good . She had been troubled with a hoarseness so bad that no one could hear her speak f but having taken a few boxes of PARR'S LIFE PILLS * she was completely restored , as was evident by the way she spoke . ' " Very many cases of extraordinary cures have occurred among the aged workpeople , both male and female . In one mill , an aged couple , enfeebled by disease and debilitated by premature old age , bid become almost past work ; they were persuaded to try a few boxes of PARR'S LIFE PILLS , and ia a week were restored and strengthened thai they could pursue their employment with pleasure and profit ; so much to , that from being unable to work at their calling more than two days in the week , and this with great physical difficulty and languor , they can now not only do a full week ' s work , but over ^ hours besides . Bad as trade is here , the old people being favourites with-the mill owner , are enabled to get as much employment as they can do , which has excited the envy of those younger pereonB who had been employed in their absence ; and it Is a laughable fact , that Parr ' s Pills come in for a share of their rancour . The old people continue to take the pills regularly in small quantities , and find them as necessary to their health and prosperity as their daily food . " The next and last case which I shall mention » t this time , is one of a most extraordinary nature . I have not Been the individual myself , but I shall give you the fact as I have received it from his employers and from Mr . J . Hobson , who has frequently Beert him sincahis convalesence . The man is a working mechanic and had spent about thirty pounds last year on the doctor , in going to the Ma of Man aud other places , for the benefit of his health , but to no purpose . His food had consisted for a long time of nothing but rice milk , tbe stomach refusing to take anything stronger . Hia body was greatly emaciated and his temporal prospects clouded ; with a mind filled with melancholy forebodings for the future , he returned to his friends at Leeds , where he was told by his medical adviser that should he be restored a 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 hia work , whero he was seen a few days ago by Mr . Hobson , ( it being dinner hour ) eating beef-steaks with great gusto ; and to whom he recited with pleasure and gratitude the cause of his then healthy condition , together with a long history of his past affliction " Should the above three cases of cures be worthy of your notice , you are at perfect liberty to make what use of them you think proper . I am , Gentlemen , yours , respectfully , "WILLIAM HICE . ' To Messrs . T . Roberts and Co ., 9 , Crane . Court Fleet-street , London . " MIRACULOUS CURE FROM THE USE OF PARK ' S LIFE PILLS . Copy of a Letter just received by the Proprietors from Mr . Wm . Moat , 3 , Cobbett-street , Shaw ' a Brow , Salford . " To the Proprietors of Parr ' s Life Pilto " Gentlemen , —I have the utmost pleasure in forwarding you this my oxrn rase of cure , effected solely by the persevering u * r . ¦ : war Parr ' s Life Pills . 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 cure than undergoing a surgical operation . I was thus driven almost to despair ; and 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 so painful and uncertain an experiment , but rather chose to leave the result to nature and Providence . Fortunately , I heard of the great fame of Parr ' s Life Pills , and resolved to give them a fair trial . I consequently took them for sometime without perceiving any benefit , but still kept persevering ; and I nave now taken twelve boxes , and to my great joy I am perfectly well , the dropsy is entirely removed , together with a scorbutic affection , which I had been much troubled with since my return from India ia 1827 ; and now there is not a vestige of disease left in my whole system , as I am now in better health anrd spirits than I have been for fourteen years . I feell certain you / ould have accounts of far more cu es , if people # ould persevere in the Use of the pils at proper length of time , as I have done . I give you m y heartfelt thanks , and authority to publish thislepter , and will gladly answer any applications either ersonall y or by letter , and remain your grateful and obliged servant . ( Signed ) W . MOAT . " Witness—John Hough , Cheadle , carrier . " Manchester , Feb . 7 , 1842 . " FROM MR . BEATON , BOOKSELLER , LEEDS . " To the Proprietors of Parr ' s Life Pills . " " Gentlemen , —I am happy to inform yon that we are daily hearing accounts of the good effects of Parr s Life Pills ; to enumerate the cases world be a task too formidable for me , and which has prevented my writing to inform you before , as I can hard 1 y tell where to begin . One man said he wanted a box of Life Pills for Life Pills they were to him they had done him io much good , in relieving him of an obstinate cough and asthma . " Another said they were worth their weight in gold 1 as he was not like the Bame man since he had taken them . "Another said his wife had had a bad leg for years , but after taking one small box , which was recommended by his Class Leader , her leg was much better , and when she had taken the second box , is was quite as well as the other . " A very respectable female baid her husband had been afflicted above two years , and had tried many things , but since he had taken Parr ' s Life Pills he was quite a new man . . "You will please send immediately , by Deacon's waggon , 36 dozen boxes at Is . l £ d ., and 6 dozen at 2 s . dd . " I am , Gentlemen , yours , respectfully , "JOHN HEATON . " 7 , Briggate , Leeds , Feb . 9 th , 1842 . 'To Messrs . T . Roberts and Co ., 9 , Crane Court , Fleet-street , London . " Another most extraordinary case of cure , communicated by Mr . Moxon , af York -. —Mrs . Mathers , of that city , bad for many years been affected with a most inveterate disease , which her medical attendants pronounced to be cancer . It originated in her breast , and continued to spread nearly all over her body , defying every effort of surgical skill . Parr ' s Life Pills being recommended to her , sha resolved to give them a trial ; and , speaking of the result , she say she canuot express the inoonceiveable advaacaga which she has already derived from them . She further states , that she is now almost well , and ascribed her convalescence solely to the persevering use or that sovereign medicine—Parr ' s Life Pills . N . B . Any one doubting the accuracy of tha above statemest , may , through the agent ( Mr . Moxon ) , be directed to Mrs . Mathers , who will herself authenticate its truth . —York , Nov . 17 th , 1842 .

Commissioners of Stamps have ordered the words Parr ' s Life Pills to be engraved on Ihe - Government Stamp , which is pastei roand the sides of each box , ia white letters on a red ground * Without this mark of authenticity they are spurious and an imposition !

BY M . WILKINSON , CONSULTING SURGEON , &c . ¦ 13 , Trafalgar Street , Leeds . Of whom they may be obtained , or from any of his 1 ' Agents . MR . M , W . having devoted his studies for many years exclusively to the various diseases of the generative and nervons system , in the removal of those distressing debilities , arising . from a seoret indulgence in a delusive and destructive habit , and to . the successfu } 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 medioine after that period , and in those oases where other practitioners have failed , a perseverance in his plain , without restraint in diet , or hindrance f'om business , will ensure to the patient a permanent and radical cure . A complete knowledge of the symptoms and treatment of these insidious and dangerous diseases , can only be ! acquired by those who are in daily practice , and have previously gone through a regular course of Medicai , Ikstrcctiow ; 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 the circulation of the blood into alii parts of the body , the whole frame becomes tainfcedjwiih venereal poison , and most unhappy consequences ensue , at one time affecting the skin , particularly the head aftd face , with eruptions and 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 wholo frame becomes debilitated and dcoayed , and a lingering death puts a period to their dreadful sufferings . What a gtief-for a young person in the very prime of life , to be snatched out of time , and from all the enjoyments of life , by a disease alway 3 local at first , and which never proves fatal ifproperly treated , as all its fatal results are ov ?\ ng either to neglect or ignorance . ; Mr .

Xambexb . —Bbiixkbia Copjtbb Hocsk , Waieb-L 00-B . 0 AD . —AI the -weekly meeting of members on Monday evening , a deputation was received from tbe Metropolitan Delegate Meeting , wbd impressed on tbe meeting the necessity fed importance of all uniting and co-operating together to carry out the Pion for the Organisation of the metropolis , and Bending delegates to the Conference . It was agreed to take the qnestlon into consideration on Monday evening next , and to summon the members especially for that purpose . Watfobd . —Tbe second « -ntm » l Chartist « zcnrslon to this pleasant town , took place on Monday last . About nine o ' clock , upwards of four hundred persons , of both sexes , left the Marylebone Chartist station , in vans , omnibusses . gigs , landaus , &c , gaily' decorated
with Chartist banners and devices . The ! day -was lovely in tbe extreme . Tbe various towns and villages on the road poured forth their population to view tbe sight , and greet the Chartists : Large quantities of tracts , Northern Stars , Circulars , fee , were distributed , and eagerly songbtafter by the agricultural population , and the greatest good feeling seemed to exist , not only towards tbe individuals , bnt likewise towards tbe principles . About two miles ont of Watford , the procession was met by two excellent brass bands , and then proceeded through the town playing the " Marselloise Hymn , " and other democratic airs . A large pavillion had been erected at the Wheat Sbeaf Inn , and ample accommodation provided by the . -wertby host for his nnmerens guests . The gardens and grounds ware
thrown open to the public , and dancing ,: and other innocent amusements , -wiled away tbe summer day . The only drawback on tbe pleasures of tha day , was fee presence of a body of tbe Metropolitan police , many of whom were in disguise . It had been contemplated to hold a public meeting on the occasion ; bnt tyranny threatened to suspend tbe landlord ' s license If it "was allo-wed oa his premises ; and Watford Fields , ¦ where the last meeting was held , being Lammas land , "was not yet denuded of grass . For this and other reasons no pnblic meeting was holden , much to the disappointment of many of tbe inhabitants . They were , however , consoled by tbe promise of a jvisit from Fesrgns O'Connor , Esq . at an early period . The visitor !
met with tbe greatest courtesy from tbe inhabitants , which shews the silent progress of onr principles . On the occasion of tbe previous visit , daring the late Strike , the greatest alarm was manifested at tbe Chartist eruption , which certainly was more formidable than tbe present in numbers ; many of the shops were dosed , and the greatest ignorance upon tha real j [ oijecta of Chartism prevailed . Now the very reverse j -was manifested ; and instead of the magistrates placing a corps of 560 policemen in ambush , twelve were thought sufficient to preserve the peace . Another visit will shew that these also may be dispensed with . The procession arrived safe in the metropolis about twelve o ' clock , ¦ w ithont a single accident having occorred .

pen , commenting upon the Bill now before Parliament , and contrasted the fact of their being compelled to spend a certain portion of their earnings with the publican with tbe exertions * t Father Mathew , of whom he spoke in high terms of praise , and showed how gratifying it must be to the IriBh Catholics to see him received by the English fas an Apostle . He then dwelt upon the evils of Mother Church , and stated the fact of his being compelled many yean ago to banish himself frem his country onaecbanfc ef ^^ his opposition to tithes , snowing that no chance of justice could be expected from our present rulers . In reference to Church Property , Sianley , Russell , and Co . would never vote against the Cbnrcb ; because those laymen had much to lose of that description of property . He then showed that no hope
of Justice to England or Repeal far Ireland could be expected from vthe Whigs . The Tories , too , had changed tbeif tactics , seeing that both nations were determined upon Repeal . They said it waa better to leave them alone , and tbe candle wenld burn itself ont —( laughter and cheers ) . Mr . O'Connor then dwelt npon the Land ; in connection with the Charter , and showed the superiority of the agriculturist over the manufacturing labourer . The £ 20 , 000 , 000 granted to black slave owners , if applied to the land , would have purchased one million acres of freehold land for ever . Who could conceive of the benefit of such a purchase , when contrasted with the use to which the money was applied ? He then dwelt on ihe question of machinery , showing that under proper arrangements it would be
a benefit intead of a -corse to the working man . The present rise in the price of bread , when corn was falling , showed how small a quantum of sympathy the consumer received from middle class men and "free traders . " What did they think of the conduct of Earl Roden , tbe modem spiritual Quixote ? The poor were ejected fron ? their holdings because they would not vote for their landlords ; this proved that land conferred the franchise , and shewed the : necessity of their obtaining possession 'of a portion of ft . Mr . O'Connor then dwelt upon tbe falling off of last quartet ' s Revenue , and upon the assertion of Father Mathew , that next quarter -would be -worse . It showed the melancholy fact that the revenue depended npon the dissipation of the people . Mr ,
O'Connor then remarked on tbe precarious state of the Welsh provinces . ' He bad received letters from that quarter , wherein the Chartists pledged themselves to have nothing : t 6 do -with the "Rebecca" riots . HiB prediction in reference to Peel's tariff , was fully justified . That day ' s Times had shown that the Welsh farmers were forming unions for the redaction of their rents . The policy' of the Chartist body consisted in keeping aloof from all minor agitations . The only party they conld ; conBistently join with was the Repealers of the Union . "Mr . O'Connor concluded amid much applanss , an address of upwards of two boura duration , by apologising for Mr . Roberts , the Chartist Attorney-Ganeral , who was on tbe platform , not addressing them .
Mr . Frjlzer moved the following resolution , -which was seconded by Mr . Spencer , and carried unanimously ;— ; " That this meeting returns its unfeigned thanks to that unflinching = friend of humanity , Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., for bis gratuitous services to the working classes without reference to creed or country ; and who , while political trnckstexs have bartered their ephemeral popularity for wealth and station , has devoted his wellearned and lasting fame to its only legitimate purpose , namely , tbe benefit of those from whom be received it , the people . And this meeting fully concurring in the sentiments bo clearly developed aod so eloquently enforced by that gentleman , are firmly of opinion tbat
the interests of ; the working classes of Great Britain and Ireland are Identical , and that unanimity can only protect and defend those interests , do pledge ourselves individually andcollectively to threw every facility ia the way of procuring tbat measure of justice for our Irish brethren , a repeal of the Legislative Union ; at the same time never loosing sight of the P ^* % ' « Charter as the only measure tbat will procurajJp ^ lbe people of both countries lasting happiness by living them a legitimate contrbul over their own affrirs . In conclusion , this meeting pledges itself never to place confidence in any political reformer who will propose or support any measure of representative reform in any way short of that document " A vote of thanks was given to the Chairman , and tbe meeting dispersed highly gratified .

SHEFFIELD . —Mb .. John West . —This talented lecturer preached two sermons in the open air , opposite tbe Corn Exchange , on Sunday last His analysis of tee pnre principles of Christianity , contrasted -with the actions of the Scribes and Pharisees of the present day , rivetted the attention of his auditors .

T . Carruthers in the chair . Thers were a nuiubi-r of the membara of the association present , who took a very lively interest in tbe proceedings of the council ; which , as wJl be seen from what follows , were of a very interesting ^ oharacter . After the minutes of the lasi meeting were read over and confirmed , the secretary was called upon to read the leading article in last weeks' Star , on the subject of a National Conference . ' Mr . John Lowery then moved the following resolution , which being seconded by Mr . James Muir , was , after condiderable discussion , put to the
meeting and earned : — That the members of this council are of opinion , tbat an efficient plan of Organization is : essential to the well-being of the Chartist movement ; but at the same time , they feel convinced , that a National Conference would beattended with too much expence to the Chartist body , more especially at this time , when so many calls are being made npon them for funds . They therefore would suggest as a substitute for the Conference , tbat thirteen persons be appointed by the country , to draw up a legal and practical plan of Organization . " The following resolution was then moved by Sir . W . Csnltbard , and seconded by Mr . James Muir : — " That thirteen persons might be chosen at pnblic meetings in the different localities , to sit in the place nearest and most convenient to the majority , for the purpose of carrying ont the object set forth in the foregoing resolution ; and that the
country generally , should bear their expences ; their sittings commencing on the 5 &h of September . "Carried . Moved by Mr . John Gilbenson , and seconded by Mr . James O'Neil : — " Having read the resolution of the Manchester committee appointed to dispose of the Victim Fnnd , we hi ghly approve of the manner in which that body have acted , in submitting to the Cb artist body generally , their opinions upon tbat , -which we think a point ef great importance : —whether or not , anj but recognized members of the Chartist Association , ought to have relief out of the Victim Fund . Having carefully considered the matter , vre are of opinion tbat the different caae 8 ought to be left to tbe decision of the Manchester committee ; that deoi&ion formed upon a fair and strictly accurate report sent them from the various localities in which the victims have resided prior to the strike .

LECTURE BY MR . O'CONNOR . On Monday evening , Mr . O'Connor lectured at Hemmingway Saloon , Mile-end Road ; admission twopence ; platform sixpence . 33 ie place was densely crowded . Mr . O'Connor arrived and w * a greeted -with great applause . [ Upon ihe motion of } Mr . Frazer , seconded by Mr . Shaw , Mr . Sherrard , - weaver , was called to the chair , and ably opened tbe proceedings of tbe meeting . Mr . O'Conkob alluding to the crowded state of the room , observed that if he was a ted Chartist , at any Eifce he -was a good baiter , for lie bad succeeded in -well packing his oven . Many were kept back irom their ranks owing to shame ; and others from love of retirement ; his doctrines not being yet sufficiently fashionable
for them . London too was the centre of wealth and influence , and bad not yet experienced' the evil effects of tbe system equally with the provinces ; bat they had already began to feel ths pinch , und ultimately would feel it much tighter . Mx . O'Connor , in bis usual forcible way , showed that the distress of the country and the superabundance of labour was attributable to class legislation- England and Scotland were no Jonger the homes of the natives , nor Ireland the land of tbe Irish . Ail were dispossed of their inheritance by tbe effects of its asenrsed influence . Se then allnded to tbe large gathering of Chartists on tbat day at Watford , and applauded them for their great exertions in spreading their principles . He had read in that day ' s "Sree Trade" organ , that more xeligion and
education was needed , ere they could be entrusted with political power . In an eloquent and hninonrona manner , ' be ridiculed the statement , and showed that education wShont Parliamentary power would never TbetteV the conation of the people .
