      PEEL'S TARIFF OUTDONE THE COFFEE TAX REPEALED I MESSRS . CROW AND TYRELL beg to call the attention of the Chartist Pubho to the BEVERAGE prepared by them , as a Cheap and Wholesome substitute for Taxed Coffee . Its nHtritious qualities are equalled by none in the Market ; while its mode of Preparation renders it vastly superior to the Trash offered for Sale by those who regard not the health of the Consumer . As a means of supporting the " Executivo Committee of the National Charter Association , " and as a means of crippling the Governmental Exchequer , it may be made a ready and powerful weapon in the hands of the Sons of Toil .

C f f ^ entlemen , —You will oblige by forwarding , at IX your earliest convenience , the same quantity of PARR'S LIFE PILLS as last sent . While X am Writing I cannot refrain from communicating the fl&tteringintelljgence of the groat good your pills are doing in Leeds and its neighbourhood . It is clearly a great error to find fault with a medicine merely because it is a patent one ; and more especially since its use has contributed so largely to the public 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 serve to confirm and illustrate what I have asserted .
