SgTJm -ToNG LIFE , AND HAPPINESS , SECUBEP BYTHATPOPULAR MEDICINE TVfO Medicine yet offered to the world ever so rapidly j . 1 attuned snch distinguished celehrity : it is questiona-¦ jfleiftherebe now anypart of the civilised globe-where its extraordinary healing-virtues bare not been exhibited . 5 his signal success is not attributable to any system of advertising , but solely to the strong recommendations of parties cured by their nse . The Proprietors of Parr's life Fffl ' s have now in their possession upwards of fifteen lunored letters , several of them from Clergymen of the Church of England , many from distinguished * issenting Uiniiters , from gentlemen connected with the Army and ITavy , also from Members of Parliament , Merchants , and last , though notleast , from members of the Medical Profession , and a skflful Analytical Chemist ; aU speakiKg in tbehighest terms of the value of tliis inestimable medicine . Xhisis a mass of evidence initsfavour beyond all paraUel . The extraordinary properties of this medicine are thus described by an eminent physician , who says , " After particular observation of the action of Parr ' s PiUs , I am determined , in my opinion , that the following are their true properties : — "First—They increasethe strength , whilst most other medicines have a weakening effect npon the system . Let any one take from three to four or sis piUs every twentyfour hours , and instead of having weakened , they will be iound to nave revived the animal spirits , and to have imparted a lasting strength to the body . "Secondly—In their operation they go direct to the disease . After you have taken six or twelve pills you will experience their effect ; the disease npon yon will become less and less by every dose yon take , and if you persevere in regularly taking from three to six puis every day , ' jour disease wiU speedily be entirely removed from the system . "Thirdljr—They are found affergiving them a fair trial for a few weeks to possess the most astonishing and invigorating properties , and they wffl overcome aU obstinate complaints , and restore sound health ; there is a return cf good appetite shortly from the beginning of their nse , -whilst their mildness as a purgative is a desideratum greatly required by the weak and delicate , particularly where violent purging is acknowledged to be injurious instead of beneficial . Fourthly—As a general Family Medicine they are exceedingly valuable , and no family should be without them-, thev mas be used with perfect safety in anj disease , for to every . disease they are of inestimable value . John Bale , Esq ., of Manchester , Lecturer on Chemistry , and Pupil of the late celebrated Dr . Dalton , F . U . S ., in a letter addressed to the Proprietors in London , says : —* i beg to state I find them worthy of being recommended to -tflepublic fo rtheir eSicac £ ann simplicity , and to he realty regetablepiils , containing , as they do , nothing but what is of vegetable origin . With this assurance the public need have no fear of giving them a fair trial . "Fifthly—There is no medicine ever introduced to the public that has become sonniversany popular with females as Parr ' s Life PiUs . For all complaints peculiar to females they are of most astonishing efficacy ; and they are confidently recommended to them for general nse . A trial of a box of these pills will at once prove the truth of this assertion . IMPORTANT TO THE PUBLIC . " We consider we are performing an act of humanity to the community of "Van Dieman ' s Land in acknowledging that statements have been made to us by several persons ' who have taken Parr ' s Life Pills , with the most beneficial effect -to iiiem . Accounts of their efficacy have been furnished ns by-various individuals who have taken them , since the supply furnished by the patentees in England to 2 Er . Dowling ; but they have generaUy savoured so much of the marvellous , that we have hesitated to make the statements public . However , we are now satisfied from farther , accounts given to us , that tohesitate longer would "be perpetrating an act of criminal omission to our fellowcreatures , and having taken the pills ourselves with the most sat isfactory result , we perform an act of duty only in most strongly recommending the use of them to the public at large . This we feel the more confidence in domg , knorring that under any circumstances they cannot do harm ; and our conscientious belief is , that they cannot be taken by any person without doing him good , " — ComwU ( Van JJieman ' s land ) Gazette , Dec . 23 rd , 2 BM . Tne medicine of Old Parr is the most popular of the present day . Jt has been before the public only a few years ; and in this short period has firmly established itself in public favour , and has effected immense benefit to all who have obtained this inestimable medicine genuine . Hence tne list of respectable names bearing evidence to the high character of this remedy , and testifying beyond the possibility of doubt the wonderful character of the medicine by the number of extraordinary and decided cures whoUy resulting from its nse . This medicine solely by reason of its high character , has extended itself to aU parts of the world ; and therefore its healing Tirtues may justly be considered universal . Agents are now established in every town in the United Kingdom , and persons desirous of testing the character of Parr ' s lafe Pills may obtain printed copies of authenticated Testimonials , relating satisfactory particulars of cures effected by this remedy .

"We regard the work before us , the "Silent Friend , " as a work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of complaints hitherto little understood ,: and passed over by the majority of the medical profession , for what . reason we are at a loss to know . Wmust , how . ever , confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable impression on our minds , that we not only recommend , but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past fohy , or suffering from indiscretion , to profit by the advice contained in its pages . "—Age and Argus . ~ «• Ths Authors of the "Silent Friend" seem to be thoroughly conversant with the treatment of a class of complaints which are , we fear , too prevalent in the present day . The perspicuous style in which this book is written , and the valuable hints it conveys to those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state , cannot fail to recommend it to a careful perusal . "—Era . , " "This work should be read by all who value health and wish to enjoy life , for the truisms therein contained defy all doubt . —Farmers' Journal .

THE CONCENTRATED DETERSIVE . ESSENCE , An anti-syphilitic remedy for searching out and purifying the diseased humours of the blood ; conveying its active principles throughout the body , even penetrating . the minutest vessels , removing all corruptions , contaminations , and impurities from the vital stream ; eradicating the morbid virus , and radically expelling it through the skin . | ' . ' Price lis ., or four bottles in one for 38 s ., by which' Us . is saved , also in £ 5 cases , which saves £ 112 s . Venereal contamination , if not at first eradicated , will often remain secretly lurking in the system for years , and , although for a -while - undiscovered , at length break out upon the unhappy individual in its most dreadful forms ; or else , unseen , internally endanger the very vital organs of existence . To those suffering from the consequences which this disease may have left behind in the form of secondary symptoms , eruptions of the skin , blotches on the head and face , ulcerations and enlargement of the throat , tonsils , and threatened destruction of the nose , palate , & c , nodes on the shin bones , or any of those-painful affections arising from the dangerous effects of the indiscriminate use of mercury , or the evils of an imperfect cure , the Concentrated Detersive Essence will be found to be attended with the most astonishing effects , in checking , the ravages of the disorder , removing all scorbutic com . plaints , and effectuaUy re-establishing the health of the constitution . Topersons entering upon the responsibilities of matrimony , and . who ever had the misfortune during their more youthful days to be affected with any form of these diseases , a previous course of this medicine is highly essential , and of the greatest importance , as more serious affections are visited upon an innocent wife and offspring , from a want of these simple precautions , than perhaps half the world is aware of ; for , it must be remembered , where the fountain is polluted , the streams that flow from it cannot he pure .

Extract of a Letter from the Earl of Aldborough , dated Villa Messina , Leghorn , 21 st February , 1845 : — To Professor . Holloway .

John Clough , a respectable farmer of Acklam , within four miles of , this place , had been suffering from dropsy for five years , and had had the best medical advice , without receiving any relief .

I had almost forgotten to state that she was given up by the faculty as incurable . When she used to get up in the morning it was impossible to discover a feature in her face , being in such a fearful state . This cure is entirely by the use of your medicines .

EXTRAORDINARY ECONOMY TO TEA DRINKERS . THE DESIRE OF ENGLAND . —The PIQUA PLANT , now sold at 3 s . fid . per lb ., is three times the strength of tea , and is also equal in flavour , more delicate in taste , nfinitely more healthy , as is proved by physicians and chemists of high standing , also by persons in great numbers with the most delicate lungs and stomachs . It is most pleasant and invigorating , and is recommended to , the debilitated for its invaluable qualities , to advanced age for its strengthening properties , and to the public generally for its moderate price and intrinsic excellence . The Test . —Tho proof of the efficacy and healthful effect of the plant in preference to tea or coffee : —Let a nervous or dyspeptic patient use two or three cups of strong tea upon retiring to rest , and the effect wiU be night-mare , disturbed sleep , and other violent symptoms of indigestions , & c . The Pkoop . — -let the most debilitated , dyspeptic , asthmatic , consumptive , and nervous patients use two , three , or more cups of a very strong infusion of the Piqua Plant , and in the morning they will awake refreshed with their repose . It is highly recommended by physicians to invalids and children as a most invigorating and pleasant beverage . .... ' . The following are reasons why the Piqua Plant is superior to tea , viz . : — 1 st . Because it is beneficial to health , 2 nd . It does not injure the nerves . 3 rd , Children may use it with advantage to health ; 4 th . It does not prevent sleep . 5 th . A quarter of a pound will go as far as three quarters of a pound of the best gunpowder tea . 6 th . It is strengthening and nutritious . 7 th . It is recommended by physicians , and tea is disapproved of by them . It greatly improves the voice ; it is recommended to singers and public speakers . TESTIMONIALS . ' 50 , Edgeware-road , July 1 st , 1843 . Sir , —The beverage under the name of Piqua Plant I have drank for some time .

CORNS AND BUNIONS . PAUL'S EVERY MAN'S FRIEND , Patronised by the Royal Family and Nobility , IS a sure and speedy cure for those severe annoyances , without causing the least pain or inconvenience . Unlike all other remedies for Corns , its operation Is such as to render the Cutting of Coma altogether unnecessary ; indeed , we may say , the practice of cutting Corns is at all times highly dangerous , and has been frequently attended with lamentable consequences , besides its HabiUty to increase their growth ; It adheres with the most gentle pressure , producing an instant and delightful relief from torture , and , with perseverance in its application , entirely eradicates the most inveterate Corns and Bunions . Testimonials have been received from upwards of one hundred Physicians and Surgeons of the greatest eminence . Prepared by John Fox , in boxes , at Is . ljd ., or three small boxes in one for 2 s . 9 d . ; and to be had of Mr . King , Napier-street , New Town , Hoxton , London ; and all wholesale and retail medicine vendors in town and country . The genuine has the name of John Fox on the stamp . A 2 s . 9 d . box cures the most obdurate corns . Ask for "Paul ' s Every Man ' s Friend . " ABERNETHY'S PILE OINTMENT . What a painful and noxious disease is the Piles , and comparatively how few of the afflicted have been permanently cured by ordinany appeals to medical skill ! This , no doubt , arises from the use of powerful aperients , too frequently administered by the profession ; indeed , strong fnternal medicine should always be avoided in all cases of this complaint . The proprietor of the above ointment , after years of acute suffering , placed himself under the treatment of that eminent surgeen , Mr . Abemethy , —was by him restored to perfect health , and has enjoyed it ever . sinee , without the slightest return of the disorder , over a period of fifteen years , during whieh time the same Abernethlan prescription has been the means of healing a vast number of desperate cases , both in and out of the propr ietor ' s circle of friends , most of which cases had been ' under medical care , and some of them for a very considerable time . Abernethy ' s File Ointment was introduced ; o the public by the desire of many who had been perectly healed by its application ; andsinceitsintroduction ine fame of this ointment has spread far and wide . Even the medical profession , always slow and unwttling to acknowledge the virtues of any medicine not prepared by themselves , de now freely and frankly admit that Aber . nethy ' s Pile Ointment is not only a valuable preparation , but a never-failing remedy in every . stage and variety of that appalling malady . Sufferers will not repent giving it a trial .

London. City Chartist Hall.—Mr. Cooper's...
LONDON . City Chartist Hall . —Mr . Cooper's concluding lecture of his first series , last Sunday evening , was , as usual , well attended , though a considerable number of his customary hearers left the hall , a few minutes before eight , to listen to the eloquent Mr . Fox , who was lecturing in the National flail , Holborn , on " The Purgatory of Suicides . " Mr . Cuffay , as chairman , after one of the "People-Songs" had been sung , introduced the subject of the evening ' s discourse , and Mr . Cooper immediately commenced a brief narrative of the life of Byron , —passing to a a rapid review of his poetry ; passages from V Childe Harold , " " The Siege of Corinth , " "Don Juan , "
and "The Vision of Judgment" were selected as examples of his power : some of these the lecturer read , and some he recited . The specimens from " The Vision of Judgment , " drew instant responses from the audience . The celebrated stanzas , "Fare thee well , and if for ever , " produced a powerful impression , not a few . of . the fairer portion of the audience shedding tears while the speaker rehearsed them . Mr . C . closed his theme with a few noble extracts from Mr . Carlyle ' s " Past and Present , " some general maarks on the literature of the age , and by an impassioned exhortation to all who felt an interest in human progress'to unite in an energetic struggle for the complete triumph of right .
,. . . DUNDEE ., . ' .. . . § M'Grath delivered two eloquent arid instructive lectures here on Monday and Tuesday , the 20 th and 21 st ult . Mr . Robert Kidd occupied the chair on the first evening , and Mr . John M'Crae on the second . The subjects were— " The Land—its capabilities , and the means of obtaining it ; " and , " The agencies which' impoverish the industrious community / and the means of their removal . " The lecturer stated two important facts , which the working classes would do well to treasure carefully in their minds : first , thai , according to a report of a committee of the'House of ' Commons , there are 67 millions of acres of cultivable land in this country , which , upon the very low estimate of two persons to each acre , would support comfortably a population ol 134 _ millions ; and , secondly , the profitmoneers
actually absorb wealth to the value of £ 450 , 000 . 000 sterling , orupwards of one-half of the whole produce of tne country ,- supposing , according to M ^ ueen , the annual income of thekingdomtobe ^ 820 , Q 00 , 000 or £ 830 , ooo , ooo sterling . Tnia lastfact incontestibly P . . ove . s the necessity of proper laws , of distribution , without which . the productive classes must go on . adding continually to the-wealth ; of the country ! while at the same time they-become poorer' and poorer . At the conclusion of the lectures some objections were urged , and questions asked , which were answered to the apparent satisfaction of the audience , u not to the objectors themselves : ' As'some have expreaaeda desire to join the Chartist Co-operative iiand Society , intimation is hereby given that a preliminary meeting will be held in the Association SS ^ ^ K rt JV ^^ We *?! on Monday , Novemborthe 10 th , at eight o ' clock in the evening .

MR . CLARK'S TOUR . To the Chartist BopY .-Friends .-N otuin * „ , be more cheering than the progress which onr ° l ! 1 plan is making in the country . I find it warmlv > ceived wherever I go , especially in the counti ™ lages , where most Of the inhabitants have small " m- ' of ground , and consequently understand its vni ? The sceptics are only to beiound amongst those *?' are profoundly ignorant upon the subject . Whcr i was at Worcester , last week , I heard of a person * i occupies two acres of land at a short distance f < the town ; he pays a high rent for it , employ ;«( , ? , to cultivate it , keeps a liorso and cart , andniaintaiii ' a large family in comfort and independence and w nothing but the two acres of land to depend minn This 1 have upon the authority of the man ' s own son . Some of our friends are afraid that a mA with a family woidd starve upon two = c ' res " r ground . I have no such fear . 1 told yOU w week how mucli the farmers dreaded tho ^ aii farm system ; and I assure you that their feats
have -not been at all lessened by the establishment f our society . You would be surprised at the sensation which the agitation of this question has created in remote country districts . It is my firm conviction that if we had the rules of our society enrolled under Act of Parliament , and proper means were taken to make the thing known in the agricultural districts that we should , in the course of a short time , iiavc three agricultural labourers in the society for one manufacturing operative . But we must first get tho rules enrolled , which must be done if possible . Some object to the enrolment , but I cannot see why ; at least , I cannot see what harm the enrolment would do ; but , on the contrary , I feel fully persuaded that it would be productive of incalculable good . J see that the men of Manchester have decided in favour of this step , and I hope that their example will be followed throughout the country ,
CHELTENHAM . On Monday , the 20 th inst ., I left Bristol for the above place , and in the evening hatl an excellent meeting in a school-room adjoining an Unitarian chapel . Mr . Leach , a working man , was called to the chair . The subject of the lecture was , " The Land , and how to get it . " After explaining how tue aristocracy of the world became possessed of the land , and proving the peoples' right to it , I explained the nature and objects of our society , which seemed
to give general satisfaction . Some stupid fellow <•& up at the close and put some very silly questionshe was well laughed at for his pains . Mr . Millsoni made some excellent remarks in favour of tho small farm system , quoting the authority of parliamentary documents in support of his positions . Mr . M . v » attentively listened to ; and , after he had spoken a quantity of rules were disposed of , and the meeting broke up . On the following day ( Tuesday ) , 1 Jt ceededto
BAin , where I had a very good meeting at night . Tin veteran patriot , Mr . Thomas Bolwell , was unani . mously chosen to preside ; and , after a sensible speech from him , I was introduced , and spoke about an hour and a half in elucidation of the Land plan and the benefits likely to accrue from its adoption by the working classes . I invited discussion , as is my usual practice , but the value of the Land is so ap . parent , that £ e \ r have the hardihood to question it ; and as to the plan itself , it is so simple and explicit ! that the only objection to it seems to be that it is too good . After the meeting had concluded I retired with the Messrs . Bolwell , and had also the company of two young men who are at present engaged as small farmers , and had the pleasure of having their approval of all that I had advanced on the capa . bihiies of
the soil . They both gave it as their opinion that a man with a family , however large , could , with moderate industry , make a very comfortable living from two acres of ground of an average quality . They had both read Mr . O'Connor ' s work on small farms , and both agreed with him generally ; but neither of them approved of his mode of stallfeeding cows . They both contended that cows led upon grass would give much better mills than ots fed upon the diet recommended by Mr . O'Connor , though his mode of feeding would produce tho greatest quantity , but the quality would be inferior . I related what I had read of the experiments of Mr . Thornton , of Huddersfield , and what I had seen at Mr . Arddls , at Leeds ; but yet they seemed fully impressed with the belief that they were right , and Mr . O'Connor wrong . The next day ( Wednesday ) I went to
TR 0 YfBRlDO . E , a town in Wiltshire , containing a population of about twenty thousand people , all engaged in the manufactory of woollen cloths . Employment , I learned , was brisk amongst them ; but the weavers expected to experience serious alterations in their work , owing to an improved loom which has been lately introduced amongst them , by which two pieces can be woven together—and when this loom becomes generally used , double the number of pieces will be made—and unless a double sale can be effected for the manufactured article , a great number of weavers will be thrown out of employment . The price paid for weaving a single piece is tenpencekalf-penny , and
two similar pieces , m the double loom , one shilling and threepence-halfpenny . The weavers have formed a union , about ninety of them have joined , and pay one halfpenny a week into a fund , but for what purpose I could not learn . The sum is so exceedingly small , that I do not sec what thev can do with it . I advised them to join the National Union . I h , ave been frequently asked about a journal which the lrades' Executive talked of publishing , and where it could be had . I could not give a satisfactory answer , but perhaps Mr . Hobson can . A meeting was announced to take place at eight o ' clock , in a large room in the Market-place : it was a bumoer ,
1 ho place was crammed full , as well as the avenue leading up to it . Mr . Stephens , a highly intelligent young man , was chosen to preside , and conducted tho business of the meeting most satisfactorily . I explained the nature and objects of our Land movement , showed how . the surplus labour in the market enabled competing capitalists to reduce the wages of the working man , and the profits of the shopkeeper . Numbers of the middle class were present , and , I was afterwards informed , expressed themselves in favour of the movement . 1 enrolled several members , and several others pledged themselves to join . 1 was highly delighted at the spirit manifested by the men of Trowbridge .
"_ THE POTATO CROP . The failure of the potato crop will cause ruin to many , and serious loss to all concerned . Every day brmgs fresh tidings of wide-sgread rot . I have made at my business to enquire of all whom I come in contact with , and learn with regret that the disease is universal . The person who drove me from Trow bridge to Bradford ,. informed me that a neighbour of his had " gotin" twenty-five sacks , which , at the time , appeared quite free from the prevalent misfortune . He looked' upon them as a prize . About a week afterwards , he emptied them out again , and to his surprise and dismay found that out of the t . WPTlfr-fiwA anrtlm ltn V _ J »__ 1 . _ H . .

. - s , uc uau uniy mree mat were m lor the use even of pigs . ' Another person , one of the members of our Land Society , residing near Baft , has upwards of one . hundred and fifty sacks rotten , and he told me that he expected most of the others Which he had b y him would turn out the same way . Great distress is expected to be the result amongst the agricultural labourers . Some landlords are returning part of the rents to their poorer tenants who nave had bad . potato crops . Earl Ducie , a first-rate DraCtlCOl agriculturist , has , I understand , returned two-thirds of the rents paid by his tenants . This ti an example worthy of imitation . —Yours , truly , Bristol , Tuesday . Thomas Clark .
