      TO THE INHABITANTS OF LEEDS , AXD THE NOBILITY , CLERGY , GENTRY , AND FAMILIES IN THE NORTH OF ENGLAND . T \ URING the last Six Years I hare established several of the LARGEST RETAIL TRADES for 1 / TEA and COFFEE in the NORTH of ENGLAND , by purchasing only those Articles that were acknowledged to be of the best quality , and selling them for Ready Money , at the Smallest Profit on the Cost Price , Telying solely on an Extensive Trade for Remuneration . I now respectfully announce to my numerous Friends and the Public generally , that on SATU 3 X * » AT last , Mabch 31 , I OPENED A ' — — - H ^^^ B ' » ' ( (( i ! ii 3 SBmi ! rom ( kSBBHlmli it ^^^^»^^»^ ? 11 T&QKGfi'ffl SF iIB ^ C ^^^^ MhT ftl Vfi ^ w / A 6 r / iffrTBiB fT ^ TT "" ¦ 11 ' I I i i uti ^ H ^ 'BBtiiiMHHB ^ l 1 /« D * _ D-LiXvTlXji JL- £ j H M « » ilrS S ^ HHkflH ^ k ^^^ H ^ l ^^ HHSm ^ R r I ^^ J ^^ ^^^ L . ^^^ h ^^ f ^^ F ^^^ 9 ^^ ^^^^^^^ BB ^ B ^^^ B ^^^^^^ ^ C ^ ZS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ B ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ M ^^^^^^ B ^ MHPyifMlB ^ m-WMBBfciB _ L r ?

Id . per pound , ) the Consumption has gone on gradually increasing , and the importance of this Branch of Commerce now , may be estimated by the fact , that in the Year 183 / the Quantity consumed in the United Kingdom was Fokty-t-wo Meliioxs or Pounds , and the Amount of Duty paid thereon was Four ¦ Millions and Three Hundred Thousand Pounds Sterling . Now , that . the Use of Tea has become so general , the Quantitv consumed so immense , and the Charge for Conveyance of Goods from the principal Ports in the Engdoin to Leeds so verr trifling ; THERE IS A DEMAND IN THIS POPULOUS NEIGHBOCBHOOD SUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT AN Establishment for the Sale of Teas at the smallest Profit ON THE COST PRICE . —TO THIS SYSTEM I SHALL STRICTLY ADHEBE , AND RELY SOLELY ON AN EXTENSILE TRADE FOR REMUNERATION . The following List of Prices , to which I invite your-attention , will at once show that I shall sell as Cheap as any _ liYholesale House in London , but the Qualify of my Tea will be its best Recommendation to & « who may favour me with their Orders : — BLACK TEA .

      WE , the Scotch Tea Dealers in Halifax and the Vicinity , beg kindly to acknowledge to the Public the Favours which , for many years , they have so liberally conferred upon us , and we hereby most respectfully solicit a continuance of their support . ¦ -. ' . ^ The object of this Advertisement is to direct their attention to one which appeared in the last week ' s Northern Star , and which emanated from the Puffing Establishment of Ottley and Co ., in . which are contained assertions as base as they are false , and as ungenerous as they are unjust . The 1 st Charge is-r- " That we are not able to buy Cheap , because we possess no knowledge of the Business in which we are engaged . " Now , a Scotchman , from his native hills , never begins Business on his own account ; but invariably serves for a term of years with a Master ; and is he more deficient in intellect than another man , that on such terms he cannot acquire a competent ^ nowledge of the . article in which he deals ? We totally deny the assertion that we are generally dependent for our Tea on Dealers in the Towns in which we are resident . And , as to the best Markets , we never yet t made the blunder of seeking it at Leeds , instead of London or Liverpool , like our noisy Calumniator , who , from mere selfish motives , wishes to satisfy his avarice at the expense of his Competitors in Trade . The 2 nd Charge is— " That we are not able to Sell Cheap . " > Having denied the Premises that the article is not Well Bought , the only other reason assigned is the serious item of Travelling Expenses , against which we most politely beg to balance their expensive Establishment of large Shop and House Kenti , and high bred tits , and as weighty an expense as any everlasting Puffing—a never-failing symptom of asthma , and that the Patient cannot long survive . We by no means dispute that Ottley and Co . keep Teas at the prices adyertiapd , but , at sach prices , it must necessarily be of the very lowest description , and if their customers desire a superior article , they will also ask a superior price . We could afford to sell at the same prices , did we keep such a commodity in our possession ; but , for our part , we have been alwa } 's of opinion that Teas of a higher quality goes the farthest , —and , from having adopted this course , we have hitherto maintained our Credit and Respectability , and have been enabled to baffle every effort of our enemies . . , : - * - But , as this is the age of hot competition , it is also the age of sterling patriotism . His attack upon us as a body proceeds from no selfish or sordid motive ! Not it . Ottley , honest man , cares nothing about profits , if he can only benefit the consumers of Tea 1 . ' Such pure disinterestedne 88 Wli surely meetits reward in a public monument ! It is no fault of his if hecannot persuade the Public to buy his Teas , or to abandon those by whom they have been previously supplied . If his assertions are true , they ( th ^ e Public ) are a most stiff-necked and nerverse generation , blind to their own interest , and himself- ofie " of the most neglected and ill-treated philanthropists of the age . As a preof of his sacrificing individual to public interest , we may adduce a fact worthy of notice . At the laat Halifax Election but one , Mr , O . voted for the- 'Bine Candidate , Mr . Wortley . No doubt a straight forward and conscientious vote ! At that time party spirit ran so high , that exclusive dealing was resorted to , and Mr . O . felt its effects in his most sensitive part , namely , his breeches packet . He argued , begged , " bullied , " and beseeched the Public to leaveoff such ridiculous ways , but in vain . He then remembered the old saying ^ that "if the bill won ' t come to the King , the King must go to the bill , " and recanted . As a proof of his sudden and miraculous conversion , and as a token of his sincere repentance forhis past dereliction , ( not to-the Public , but his till , ) in a few days the little automaton coffee grinder , in his window , wore Egyptian mourning , the colour of which , need we say , is Yellow ! ( : r We assure Mr . Ottley that we more frequently meet the " dupes " in the Toivn and ' Country than he meets ours at his shop ; and we can always seU as easy , or easier , after him than any other Tea Dealer in Halifax ; but we do detest that mean-bred vice—a compound of vulgar impudence and low cunning , which prompts him to ask people from whom they purchase their Tesu ^ Che quality of our Tea will always recommend itself . We would sooner have his censure than his praise . The former would be a kind of recommendation ; the latter an absolute discredit . But observe bow the brainless Quack bears testimony to the excellency of our Teas , for he represents people answering his impudent questions . " What do you generally pay for the Tea which you purchase from Travellers S" The answer is " Eighteen-penee , bnt it is Good Tea ! " Well might the choler of Mr . Ottley rise at thia intolerai ble presumption ! What ! the Consumer of Tea be a judge of its quality , and persist in the correctness of his taste in spite of the decisive opinion of this would-be-thought Oracle of the Tea Trade ! Was there ever such a monstrous perversion of taste ? " But it is Goon . " "Aye , there's the rub . ' : T ^ i ?; ^ d this alone , accounts for the impotent rage of the Southgate Puddeldqck . Amongst die respectable Grocers and Tea Dealers of the Town , bis Advertisement has excited ' ' sotnin ' g ' ¦ . ¦ bur disgust : ah old estiilished Member of the Trade was heard to say , " That a mau who seeks torise by another ' s deinpriti miwt be a despicable character ! " If Mr . Ottley is really so much galled at seeing the 8 ttcce 83 of the Scoteh Tea Dealers , the fair field of honourable Competition liw before him . Let him start , dome fine Summer ' s morning , with " pack , stick and umbrella , '* ' ( how we-should like to see him so Quipped , ) and try" lie sweets of a kind of life of which he seemsso invidious , especially on ^ the score that'it is i-ob . idle and an easy one . We presume he would find the labour so irksome , that he : would soon wish hiniself at the back of the Counter again ; and asTve are on the subject of an easy life , we may also mention that our Pruning Friend has taken care to pick the Plums from the Pudding , by studiously avoiding the laborious occupation !

' .-- - ' ; - ' .- ; ¦ Now for the cream of the matter . Mr . Ottley , you sell Twenty Chests of Tea where any Scotch Tea Dealer setk One . . So you say , Mr . Froth ! But dare you risk FIFTY POUJ ^ DS ^ to be given to spine Charitable Institution in Halifax , on the strength of your assertion ? If you can screw your courage to the stickbg point , we will find a Scotch House in the Trade you decry , the ephere 1 of whose operations lies principally in this Neighbonrboodj who will dare you to the Trial before ^ the tjeaxtt the ^ Public .: If you prove your assertion , we-will-forfeit the above-mentioned Sum , to be applied aa afofegaid ; and if we prove that your allegation is only a bouricej "^ you shall forfeit the Sum , to be so applied .

      SURGERY . riANCER in all its varied forms successfully \ J treated , - WITHOUT THE KNIFE , by a system which is safe as well as effectual . All Scrofulous Swellings , Abscess , and every sort of Glandular Tumour , eradicated by" a combination of new and powerful remedies , by 7 . 1 . WASD , Surgeon , 18 , Trafalgar St . Zieeds . The practice of cutting , universally resorted to for the treatment of this painfnl and dangwnua malady , is thus happily exposed in the Doctor of May 22 , 1833 . " Canoer has surprisingly increased in these kingdoms of late years , and it isof consequence for the public to know that there is no operation in the whole ran ^ e of Snidery more unsuccessful than that of the excision of the occult Cancer , more especially that of the breast . Dr . Munro the elder , says , that of sixty cases in which the operation was skilfully performed , only two remained free from the disease at the end of two years ; and Scabpa , whom all will admit to rank among the most distinguished Surgeons of Europe , remarks that , in a long and extensive practice , ne has dperated for this malady but three times with success . " In full accordance with this testimony of the most extensive practitioners and eminent men of science , J . L . W . has long seen the utter inutility , and almost universally fatal effect of the knife in all such cases ; and has succeeded in maturing ( by a long course of observation , practice , and study , basedon the extensive practice of his late father , ) a system which , by means of natural agents alone , effectually cures the disease in any of its stages by a process at once safe and simple . Mr . Ward has , for a series of years , resisted the most earnest importunities to make known through the medium of the press , the efficacy of bis system . But having ; witnessed the continuation and extension of a great public evil ; the infliction of unnecessary pain and misery upon the sufferers from these distressing maladies , by an adherence to the barbarous expedients which are adopted in what is called " regular practice , " he haa been induced to refer the attention of those who may be interested to the following authentic cases , which will at once establish the pre-eminence of his system . An Enormous Tumour Removed , without tbe '¦' ¦ ' ¦ ¦ ¦ . ¦'¦ . ' . Knife . ' " ¦ ¦;¦¦ ¦ ' . : ¦ ¦ . ''¦ . , I , John Goodworth , Cloth Manufacturer , Wortley , near Leeds , Yorkshire , having seen that several Persons who have been Cured of Cancers , Tumours , &c , by Mr . J .. L . Ward , Surgeon , , Trafalgar Street , Leeds , have advertised their Cures , and as Mr . Wa rd has wrought such a Cure on my wife , as I believe was never equalled . I- think it equally my duty to make the particulars of it fully known . For the long period of thirtyrtwo years , my wife , Elizabeth Goodworth , was afflicted with a growing Tumour on the side of her head , which in the year 1830 , had arrived to such an onormous size , that it actually measured three inches more than her own . head , and extended from the back of her neck to underneath her Chini up the side of her Nose , to her Eye , pushing her Mouth to the other side . This huge substance made her look as if she had two heads , and had in a great measure deprived her from attending to her feiiiHy . For above twenty ; years , flhe repeatedly sought relief from many of the most experienced Medical Men mt'Yoxksbire , and was upon several occasions admitted as a patient in the Leeds Infirmary , but no means used were ot any service , for the Tumour continued to grow more rapidly . She , as well as myself , hadj therefore given up all hopes pfbeing relieved , until having seen that a most extraordinary Tumour was removed from the cheek of a Mr . William Bailey , Dawgreen , Dewsbury , by Mr . Ward j she was induced t ( place herself immediately under that Gentleman , who I am happy to say by a peculiar process of treatment , removed this wonderful substance that I have above described , whole and entire , without cutting or causing the loss of-a single drop of blood , to the utter astonishment of every medical man who had ever seen her , as well as the whole of the inhabitants of this place . Since her cure , which is now about five years , she has enjoyed perfect health , and is as active as any woman in the whole of this populous town . This enormous Tumour , with many others , inay beseen at Mr . Ward ' s Surgery . Given under my hand , this the 18 th day of September , 1837 . - . ¦' ¦ ;• JOHN GOODW 0 RTH . I , William Bailey , clothier , of Dawgreen , Dewsbury , was afflicted with a tumour on the side of my face , from the age of three years , supposed to be produced by a sweTling in my throat , left by the scarlet fever . It seemed to grow with my growth , and also made the bone of my cheek grow , which is still considerably larger than the other cheek bone , and when I arrived at the age of thirty-seven , the tumour had increased to an alarming size . I went to the Whitworth doctors , to the ; Leeds Infirmary , and to all other persons that t thought were likely , and the late Mr . Greenwood of this place , who was considered one of the most skilful medical men to be found , said that if it was cu t it would kill me , and all the faculty that I consulted , told me that it could not be removed in any other way . But lam grateful to Divine Providence that I ever heard of the ; fame and abilities of Mr ; Ward , for by putting myself under Ms care , the tumour was removed without cutting or keening , and the large hole that it left in my cheek effectually cured seven years since , and up to this time it has no appearance of returning . L would haye published this most extraordinary cure long before now , but several doctors said that it would come again , ^ ^ but the above , facts now sufficiently prove the efficacy ; of Mr . Ward's skill , and the fallacy of the other doctors' predictioria . , P . S . —The tumour which he removed from my face may be seen any time , by applying to Mri J ; L . Ward , 18 , TraiFalgar Street , Leeds , v A SPLENDID ILLUSTRATiON OF THE SUPERIOR EFFICACY OF MR . WARD'S MODE OF ERADICATING TUMOURS . : Mr . BARKER , a resideiatbf Leeds , has jast had an increasing Tumour removed from the root of : his ear , whole , and entire , without cutting , by Mr > J , L . Wardy Surgeon , No . 18 , Trafalgar Street ^ Leeds , which was occasioned from a fall three years ago . The removal of this Tumour has left a fri ghtful hole in Mr . B ' s neck , but which is grovrihg up very fast , and , the wound is in quite a healthful state , and , therefore , cannot fail to be interesting to those similarly afflicted , as also to medical men who think there is no remedy bat cutting in such cases , particularly aa it would have been impossible for the most experienced operator to bave taken out this substance with the knife , owing to the deep seat of the Tumour and its situation . But the admirablfe method by wbicb Mr . Ward has managed is beyond comparison , and ought to be generally known for ) the benefit of society . : : Mr . B , who Is now just well v may be seen at Mr , Ward ' s Surger ^ , every Tuesday and Saturday , at half-past Ten o ' clock ; ^ 6648 , ^ , 26 , 1838 , M * 8 . Elizabeth SmitHj Rosemary-row ^ Tadcakter , was 13 years afflicted with a ^ Tumour , of the Thigh , which progressively became an enormous size . She has recently had this substance Removed without Cutting . The case is at present highly interesting as the Cure is now progressing . / Mr . Th omas .

( Mr . Nameless ) agreed'to wait . At the Time appointed he was suited ; and on calling at the Boot and Shoe ^ heshowed the Hat , and Mr . Baildon coming in at tifer Time , he was asked bis Opinion of the said Hat , aad is made to reply , " Oh ! it is a very good Hat , and was bought at my Shop yesterday for 12 s . ; " and as Mr . Nameless had paid to me 24 s . for the Hat , I have been held up on this Account as a perfect Cheat . I had intended this Affair to die a natural Death , but by tbe Advice of my ^ Friends I now publicly challenge Mr . Baildon to prove that I ever bought of him a Hat ,. directly or indirectly , at 12 s . ' or any other Price whatsoever ; and I shall take it as a particular Favour ,, if he or any of those who charge me with , this foul Act , will produce the said Mr .
