The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a clas 3 of diseases and affections , which for some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked , or treated with apathy , and almost indifference , by the ordinary practitioner . To enter into the detail ^ of these affections , to point out their causes , and to mark the terrific consequences , social , moral , and physical , which are sure to follow from indulgence in certain habitswould be

in certain habits , would be entirely out of place in an advertisement . We have no hesitation , however , in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found interesting , whether we consider such Derson to hold the relation of a PARENT , a PRECEPTOR , or a CLERGYMAN . The PARENT , who beholds his beloved child pining away , and fast approaching to a premature grave , in consequence of some disease , which , for want of a careful investigation of its real cause , has been sot down to the score of consumption , will , on perusing this work , be astonished to find that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes , who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption , heart disease , tabes , & . c , the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destroctne habits , practised by youth much more frequently than is at all suspected .

The PRECEPTOR , also , who holds temporarily , at least the' relition and responsibility of a parent , will , by per . wing this work , be directed , and very much assisted **» investigation and detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced into schools , whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are siA * o to be compromised , unless the evil be checked in proper time He will here find a clue to guide him thri / ugh the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth , and a , standard whereby to judge , when delicacy of health s hould appear to attack any of his young charges , ' what the real cause of such attack may be , and thus he v ill be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state .

DLRHAM MISSIONARY TOUR , South Chcrch . —Mr . Deeran visited this eolliery on "Wednesday evening , the 2 > th ult ., and delivered a spirited fcdditaa va the open air , which produced a deep impresBion upon all present The cause of the people is » pid : y progressing here , and in a short peri . xl the S> e * will present a cheering and flourishing aspect At the ternunatioa of the lecture , the people of their wn aceord gave three hearty cheers for the mis-Moesry . Wolsinghah . —Mr . Deegan arrived in this small bwrn on Friday evening , October 30 th , and held a pub-Be meeting in the Old Mfettoaist Chapel , which , con-• Sdering the insufficiency of the netice given , Wis Tery well attended . It is rather a singular circum * - tince , Chat the place where Mr . Deegan was allowed , by the kindness of its proprie * or , Joseph Wooller , Esq ., to propound the principles of the
Charter , and to urge the justice and necessity of conferring tbe right of Klf-represenution upon the ¦ working ii » n » i " « ras formerly the theatre of a portion of the labbors of the celebrated John Wes ' . ey . Probably the Tery spot where that individual had broached his innof » tioaa upon that institution , denominated the " Established Church" of this country , was occupied by the S&iMdomiy , not to propagate the narrow or contracted Tiewlof a particular sectarian body , but to proclaim in toqaent and energeticlanguage , the glorious and heavenly 6 ortnne of the political and religious equality of man . Sixteen persons voluntarily agreed to form the nucleus f an association which we hope will be the foundation f a permanent body , devoting its energies to the pro-¦ Bi ^ ation of principles based npon truth , righteousness , and justice , and calculated ; o ensure the freedom awl happiness of mankind . The lecture was listened to with great attention , and at the conclusion three
spontaneous cheers ware given for the missionary . We . hope the seeds of Chartism sown here will be abun-• anjdy productive , and that & vigorous society will testify the unity and strength of the people . West Atcklaxd . —The missionary paid a second Tkfton Saturday evening , the 31 st ult , to the spirited iaJaMtants of this pleasant little town . The Chartists ben have procured the use ef a room belonging to Mr . Mason to hold their meetings in . The house was intended for a licensed victualler , but the magistrates Tffated to grant a license , and the Radicals , very for-* on » tely , have thereby secured accommodation . ' Mr . 2 > eegan addressed the meeting , for more than an hour , upon the advantages of union , as being the best means « i enabling them to obtain their legitimate rights . He aJso ably enforced the necessity of promoting education ¦ snongst the people , in order that when they obtained Seen rights , they might exercise them advantageously *» tbe community . He likewise earnestly impressed mpM his audience tie desirability of diffusing solid in-

formation amongst the labouring population , and urgettly solicited their active co-operation to render his exertions successful The lecture appeared t « be an intellectual treat to his hearers , who , in warm terms , expressed their gratfication . Bishop Auckland . —On Sunday last , Mr . Deegan ¦ delivered a lecture to the inhabitants of this town , in the afternoon , explanatory of tbs prlncipl « 8 of the People ' s Charier . The pUce selected for the meeting is called the " Batts , " being a pretty plot of ground covered with grass , and close to the river Wear . The day was exceedingly nne , and the numbers wfeo attended surpassed our most B&n&tine anticipations . The propitious state of the weather , combined with the sincerity and enthusiasm ef the people , had the effect of
producing a large congregation . Prior to the commencement of the lectare and during its delivery , the people flocked to the msetlng from all the adjacent colleries and villages . Sooth Church aad Canny Hill did their duty nobly- West Auckland also contributed its portion , tbo « gh three miles distant . Several persfnB came from Staindrop , a distance of nine miles . Mr . Embteton introduced the missionary by proposing three roands of applause for him ; and had it not been Sunday , the meeting weuld have astounded the " Right Rev . Father in God , " of Durham , with their acclaaatUns for tie Charter . The pious and saintly prelate , to whase spiritual care the people of this diocese are committed , ixas a lordly and magnificent palace , with an extensive and splendid park , comprising abo « t 40 » acres of land , well stocked
with deer . Although bishops are strongly recommended by the Apostle , to demean themselves " lowly and humbly "—not to place their affections upon the perishable riches of this transitory world—and , above all , are emphatically warned to guard * gainat the dangerous temptations and allurements offered by the "filthy lucre" of this nether world—notwithstanding the Apostle forcibly arges upon them the wisdom of laying up treasures € or themselves in that celestial kingdom , where neither nut nor motb «* n corrupt , the ghostly Prelate of Dorham , in common with Ms Episcopal brethren , aeetas to know the vaisse , and can appreciate the blessings which result from an abundance of the good things which make this transient existence of ours easy and agteeable . At the -emd of Mr . Deegan ' s discourse , a vote of thanks waa given to him , and a subscription made io aid of the Missionary Fund .
Easi >« to ?< LifcE . —On Monday , November 2 nd , a ' ¦ splendid tea party was beld in Psarson ' s brick-garth , to I celebrate the release of Messrs . Byrne aad > Owen , Char-( tist victims , from Durham prison . Abost 200 persons ! sat down to tea , Mr . Anthony Ridley , -surgeon , » f South HetVen , officiating as president . The Council of i the South Hetton Charter Association requested Mr . . Deegan ' s attendance , with which he complied . The ! following toasts were received with the greatest enthu-1 siasm : —The Chairman gave
" The people ^—the legitimate source of all power ;" which was responded to by Mr . Barkas . J 1 Health and happiness t « the liberated patriots , Byrne and Owen . Mr . Owen returned thanks , in a neat and appropriate * peech , on behalf of himaelf and Mr . Byrne , who , he Jfcgretted to state , had not y « t arrived . " Mr . Deegan , our missionary , and may increase of Cbartism follow his steps . " Mr . Deegan replied in eloquent terms , and was rapturously applauded . " The imprisoned Chartists , without distinction , who are suffering for us at present in the Whig preparatory madLeuses—health , happiness , and speedy liberation to them . " Mr . Byrne responded in a lucid and argumentative address , which was listtned to with profound attention , and elicited , at the conclusion , bursts of applause . " Williams and Binns—may we soon enjoy their
company . Mr . Garry returned thanks . Several other sentiments were spoken to by Messrs . Hunter , \ Telsh , Ba mbritlge , Hall , and others . A vote of thanks was carried by acclamation to the Chairman , and three cheers given for the Charter , three for Feargus O'Connor—the poor man ' s friend , three for Williams and Binns , three for Byme , Owen , and Deegan , and three for Frost , Williams , and Jones . Twenty-three new members joined the association . Su > derla 5 D . —Mr . John Binns delivered a lecture in the Co-operative Hall , L&mbton-street , on Friday evening , October 30 th , on the " Charity of Chartism . " A vote of thanks was unanimously given to him for his inTalnable serriees to the cause .
LuWXi A lecture was delivered oa Saturday evening last , in the large room , at Mr . Armstrong ' s , the Downs Lane Inn , by Mr . Deegan .

George president , the following resolution was unanimously agreed upon : — " That this meeting view with feelings at deep regret aad dismast the malicious , vindictive , and fiendish imputations cast by some evil disposed party ou the character and integrity of our much esteemed friend Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., and this meetinc is of osinioa that
any similar attack , eoming from treacherous enemies , as the recent one has , will have the effect of more completely arousing the sympathies of the working classes , who have had many instances of the high moral worth and integrity of our much beloved and esteemed leader , Feargus O'Connor , in whom we have the greatest confidence , and to whom we offer our most affectionate condolence , for the sufferings he is now enduring for the cause of liberty and the rights of the working classes . " The above was proposed by Mr . Simpson , and seconded by Mr . Williams . *
WORCESTER . —Perhaps it may be gratifying to the readers of the Star , and the " Radicals of Worcester generally , to k .. ow that the cauBe of Chartism is again revived in this town , and is in a fair way of being more formidable than ever . We have joined the National Charter Association of Great Britain , and meet at the house of Mr . Blackwell , in the Trinity , every Tuesday evening , at eight o ' clock . We have chosen our council , and a treasurer and secretary , and have applied to Manchester for cards of membership , which we hope to receive in a few jdays . We are about forming ourselves into classes , and are commencing a regular system of tract distributing , and as we are almost destitute of speakers , we hope that our friends at Kidderminster , Bromsgrove , and Dudley , will visit and assist us .
BIAIRGOWR 1 E . —Messrs . Davidson and Sime , irotn Dundee , visted this place . A meeting was held in Mr . Robertson's Hall , Mr . James Peebles , in tho chair . He commenced the business of the meeting by stating the object for which it was called . He exhorted them to be orderly and pay attention to the speakers who were to address them , and if they were not satisfied with any thiug that might be said , they would have an opportunity of replying at the close . Mr . Davidson then rose and was received with much cheering . He commenced by taking a view of the present sUte of society , the sufferiuga to vrhich the people were subjected , and the cause of that suffering , which ho attributed to the present system of bad government ; he decried Toryism and Whiggism , and showed them forth in all their
horrid deformity in a clear and forcible manner ; he showed the deception by which the clergy and middle classes endeavoured to delude the people , in order to draw their attention from the object they have in view , the attainment of their just rights . He then went over the five points of the People ' s Charter , and answered the objections brought forward by the enemies of the people against that measure ,, and concluded a lengthened speech by exhorting them to be determined and persevere , and sat down amidst great applause . Mr . Sime was then called upon , and was received with loud applause . He addressed the meeting at great length , and in an able and masterly style . They likewise gave three sermons on the Sabbath , which were well attended by the people of this place , and for several miles round .

BRIGHTON NATIONAL CHARTER ASSOCIATION . This body held its firs t monthly meeting in the Council room of the Association , at the " Cap of Liberty , " Portland-street , on Wednesday evening last , Not . 4 th , i $ 40 ; Mr . WoodwaTd in the chair . A good muster of the true-hearted men of Brighton were present The secretary reported that nine classes were formed , having their full complement of members . The tenth class is in course of formation . The classes meet weekly in their several districts , on the Monday or Tuesday evening , and on the Wednesday evening those that cheose are allowed to attend the council meetings The following resolution was passed b y acclamation : — " That a public subscription of the Chartists of Brighton be commenced fer the purpose of raising a fund for the relief of the wives and families of the incarcerated victims . "
It was also resolved that one pound be transmitted to Mrs . O'Brien . All looks well in Brighton . A spirit of independence is being evinced by the working men—a determination to make another , and , we trust , a final and successful effort for the restoration of the ancient rights and liberties of Englishmen . Brighton is not situated aa other towns are . Here we have concentrated into one focus the proud nobility of the land ; here is the resort of three-forths of the fashionables of the empire . Seeing this , who can wonder at the indifference of the middle classes of Brighton , the sbopocrata , totally careless of the movements that are taking place in the country ; in fact , they neither think of the present , or feel fur the future—their -whole life is spent in jumping from couater to counter , bowing and scraping to my Lord Do-nothing—fawning like a dog to my lady Swallowall
-, cringing like a slave to Duke Gorge-all ; they are the greatest set of petty tymnta that ever existed . A day of retribution will come—though they l : ave men to back them who once pretended to advocate the pure principles of democracy , but bow , in the hour of danger , When evary man , with the least spark of patriotism glowing within his bosom , is expected to be at his post—now , when the din of war , and the clash of arms is heard basely desert the cause of their country . Sorry are we to record it that the catalogue of renegades and " traitors" in our possession is dark indeed . We " bide our time , " though all the bells in the parish be set a-ringing . No . no , we know the srroTelHng wretches well . ' Slight" is tho reed that bears them . We must congratulate the men of Brighton on the steady advancement they make , despite the boastings of police officials , that they had broken up the Chartiita of Brighton .

thingB necessary for the comfort and sustenance of man , should be shivering in miserable hovels , scantily fed on the most wretched garbage , and clothed in a few filthy rags ; vrhilet the useless profligate is revelling in luxurious abundance , and wasting on dogs and pleasure horses that which ought to feed and clothe human beings . Fellow-workmen , I for one am determined not to submit tamely to such oppression , and I call upon every man who feels for hia fellow-creatures to assist us in this glorious movement—a movement unparalleled in the hisUry of the world—a movement emanating from and sustained by the intelligence , virtue and determination of the working classes , and although we are opposed by a base and tyrannical Government—by the wealth , talent , and
influence of those who fatten on the people ' s miseries still we are progressing at railway speed . The Whigs and Tories pretend to form objections to our principles , and taunt us with our ignorance . Now , as one of the working class , and consequently ignorant , he challenged any rich man in that meeting to stand by him on that hustings ami state his objections : he saw a good many of the wealthier class in that meeting , and must of seourse conclude that they had no objection to urge . If the Chartist principles were untrue , or bad , and tho advocates of the "Charter" ignorant , he thought it would be a very easy matter for those who were possessed of so much intelligence to come forward and confute them . He would now address a few words to the middle classes . ( The speaker here turned his face
towards a number of well-dressed men who were listening attentively to the proceedings . ) The Whig and Tory newspapers tell you that we are men who want to destroy property , and that we wish to plunder those who may be possessed of more of the world ' s goods than ourselves . To this charge I have to reply , that , as a working man , I think it would be very foolish for us to destroy that which we ourselves bring into existence . We want to do no such thing j and as to plundering others , a working man would have no necessity for plundering others was he to get a proper remuneration for his labour . But whilst we wish not to plunder or destroy any man ' s property , we are determined that others shall not plunder us . What interest have the middle classes in upholding the present
system ? None whatever . As a body , or class , you have no more real po wer in the present miscalled House of Commons than we have . Witness your late attempt to repeal the accursed Corn Laws . Your real interest consists in going with the people for an honest and just system of government which will protect all and injure none—a government founded on a real representation—the basis of that representation being " The People ' s Charter !" Object as you may to this , you will be obliged to come , or remain like ourselves , powerless . Yo u will now see that we Chartista are not the violent fellows we nave been represented , but that we are your real friends . I know there are a great many of wh
you o appr ove of our principles , but you fear to avow it , lest it should injure your respectability . Well , it does not matter ; if you will net help us , we must only do without you . We , the working classes , are able to work out our own emancipation , iu defiance of all opposition : our cause is just—it Is based upon truth , and truth must ultimately prevail . After dwellingupon othe rtopics connected with the movement , exhorting the men to uni » n and perseverance , and shewing the wtinen what efficient service they could render , he concluded by recommending them to support the Chartist press , and the Central Committee of Glasgow , upon whom be pronounced a high eulogium , and at down amidst repeated cheers .
The Chaiiimah next introduced to the meeting that talented and devoted friend of the people , Mr . John Collins , who waa received with , loud and repeated cheers . He proceeded , in his uaual calm and argumentative style , to answer the objections to the People ' s Charter , illustrating his views by anecdotes which were well calculated t * carry onviction to the minds of his audience ; and , although labouring under a cold , he continued a long and powerful appeal to the judgments of his hearers . He urged upon them the necessity of being united and energetic , determined , but Prudent , and the day WM not far distant when we
shall have to rejoice in celebration of the passing of the People ' s Charter as part and parcel of the law of the land . As the evening was far spent , and as he should have an opportunity of again addressing them at the soiree , he should for the present retire . Mr . Collins concluded a powerful and eloquent speech amidst beirty cheers . Thanks were then voted to the Chairman amidst loud oheers ; three cheers were given for the Northern Star , the Charter , for Feargus O'Connor , Frost , Williams , and Jones , and the incarcerated Chartists , and the meeting separated , highly pleased with the proceedings .
As Messrs Collins and White descended from the hustings , they were heartily greeted by two brawny Highlanders , who said they never heard anything of Chartism before—that they were highly delighted with it , and that they wished them a hearty Highland welcome . It should be remarked that Blairgowrie is as it were the entrance to the Highlands , being situate at the foot of the famous Grarupian-hills .
THE SOIREE . A large pile of new buildings intended to be shops and warerooms was granted in the most handsome and praiseworthy manner by the proprietor , Mr . Win . Robertson , one of the largest manufacturers in Blairgowrie , and a warm advocate and supporter of Chartists ' principles . The central part of the buildings , which stood over four large shops , was appropriated for the reception of the coimpany , and handsomely decorated witn evergreens for the occasion . The other rooms were allotted to the various purposes which the business of the evening required . A platform was raised for the accommodation of the chairman and two guests , Which was handsomely deeorated with evergreens and portraits of public characters . At half-past seven the
Hall was filled with a large cempany , and the smiling and happy faces of the " bonnie lasses" contributed to the pleasure of the scene . A very effective band was in attendance , which contributed largely to the amusements of the evening . Messrs . Collins and White were escorted to the Hall by the members of the committee , and were heartily greeted by the company on taking the places allotted them . Tho chair was occupied by Mr . James Peebles , who performed well the duties of his office . After tea and other refreshments had been served by the ladies who officiated , the chairman opened the business of the evening by calling on Mr . M'Dougal to read an ad .-dress from the inhabitants of Blairgowrie to Messrs . Collins and White , to which they responded iu their usual style .
After several songs had been sung , intermixed by enlivening airs from the excellent instrumental band , the Chairman gave the following sentiments : " The People , the legitimate source of all power . " " The People's Charter , may it soon become the . law of the land . " "Feargus O'Connor and the incarcerated Cbartists ;" which was responded to by Mr . White , who dwelt on the private , as well as public worth of Mr . O'Connor . The evening was spent in harmony and good feeling ; various toasts and sentiments were put from the cl air ; three cheers were given for Feargus O'Connor ; three for the Rev . William Hill , Editor of the Nortltcrn Star ; three for the Northern Star and the Chartist press ; and after a variety of other things connected with the people ' s cause had been cheered for , three cheers were given to the Perth Chronicle , a Chartist paper , who had sent a reporter to their meeting ; after which , the company separated , highly pleased with the proceedings .
Several wealthy inhabitants were at the Soiree , and testified their approbation of the Chartist principles ; and thus ended a day which will not be Boon forgot by the people of Blairgowrie . It was stated by several shopkeepers that they had no idea the Chartist principles wero so just and reasonable ; and it is thought that the proceedings of Friday have given a mighty impetus to the people ' s cause . It should also be remarked , that although several manufacturers allowed their mills to stop , in order to give their workpeople an opportunity of attending the meeting , yet there were others Wlio attempted to hinder them ; notwithstanding which the men aad women , showed , by their numerous attendance , that they are determined to give their hearty support to the people ' s cause .

Lieut . Masters has for several years been afflicted with Rheumatic Goat , which has produced serious functionary derangements of his stomach , liver , and other viscera , and finally given rise to infirmity , weakness and enlargement of the articulations , especially of the ancle joints ; his general health and constitution is much impaired , and therefore , in our opinion , he is incapable of further service .

Hawley , near Bagshot , 13 th Jan . 1840 . Sir , —Considering that the public would b « greatly benefited by the publication of the extraordinary benefit which I have derived by taking Blair's Gout aud Rheumatic Pills , I herewith send the particulars of my case , and the medical certificate , by which J was invalided . I was first attacked with Rheumatio Gout in 1826 , from which period to 1833 I was under the treatment of the late Drs . Red , Homer , and Jacobs , as well as b y the present Dr . Davis , all » f Hampstead . From 1833 to 1838 I was at St . John ' s , Newfoundland , doing duty as a Subaltern in the Royal Veteran Companies , where I suffered most severely , and was under the care of Surgeon Huston , R . V . C , Staff Assistant-Surgesn Ferguson , and Mr .
Shea , private practitioner there , without being able to prevent the most violent fits of the gout three or four times annually , which becoming so bad caused the garrison order for the Medical Board , as before named . —About the middle of last February and the whole of March my sufferings were dreadful ; in fact , I was unable to move without being carried ; when Major Birch , of Crondale , near Farnham , a magistrate of this county , kindly oommisserating my situation , called on me for the purpose of taking my affidavit , that I might receive my half-pay ; aud seeing me in so miserable a state , advised me to try Blair ' s Gout and Rheumatic Pills , sayiag , although not gouty himself , he knew several who had derived benefit from them . I had previously been advised by a then neighbour , Mr . Fredgent , of Aldershot , to try them , but I declined until the Maior
recommended them .- —I commenced by taking thepn according to the directions ; aud , after taking b ! x pills , found a cessation of all pain , and the remainder of the box effectually settled that fit . I have sluce had several attacks , but as soon as I feel the least sensation of the disease I take the pills , which have at once removed all symptoms . I may also mention that the chalk which had formed on my ears has disappeared , and where it formed in my fingers is decreasing . I have ceased to have those very weakening perspirations to which I was subject before trying the pills . Were you to print my case , and appoint an Agent in St . John ' s , Newfoundland , where my sufferings were known , and where there are so many afflicted with Rheumatic Gout , you would vastly increase the sale of this valuable medicine . I am , Sir , your obedient Servant ,

White then stepped to the front of the platform , and was loudly cheered . He addressed them ito the following effect : —Men and women of Blairgowrie , I feel thankful to you for the kind reception you have given to me and my friend Mr . Collins ; but I am pleased still better at the determination y « u evince no longer to be trodden down and made the victims of a cruel , malignant , and despotic government ; and I have no doubt bnt that you will co-operate with your fellowsufferera in Scotland and England to remove the load of misery and suffering under which this nation groans .

I therefore wish to Impress on your minds the important truth , that any man who keeps aloof from the present struggle for liberty , is not only a base and degraded slave himself , but that he is also helping to enslave kis neighbour , and neglecting his duty to his wife and children . It ia monstrous to think that the men and women who wake the clothing , build the houses , make the furniture , cultivate the fields , and produce all
