Demaine in the chair . The memorial ¦ was proposed by Mr . Barley , and seconded by Mr . Cooper , and ably supported by Mr . Skevingten , ( the East and North Biding lecturer ) and Mr . P . Brannon , from the Isle of Wight , and carried unanimously The memorial ia as _follows : — To the Right Honourable Sir James Graham , _principal Secretary of Stale for the Home Department . The memorial of the inhabitants of tha city of York , agreed to at a public meeting , held on Thursday , Sept . Sfith , 1841 :

      _RespectfullyBhewetli , —That Robert Peddie , William Brooks , and others 'were eonTicted at the York Spring Assizes , 1810 , for conspiracy and riot , at Bradford , and sentenced to three yean' imprisonment ; the said Kobt . Peddie , in the Honae of Correction , Beverley ; William Brooks , in the House of Correction , Northallerton ; and several others to the House of Correction , Wakefield , that during the imprisonment of _ths aforesaid prisoners , they have been subjected to the horrid restrictions of the silent system , the effects of which upon their health and constitutions are bo injurious that their physical _pawers are being impaired .

      That the aforesaid prisoners _have jei according to the time of their Bentence , one year and a hairs-imprisonment , to suffer under the unnatural and destructive system of prison discipline , which is fas : ruining their healths . That your memorialists believe that the Government to "which you belong will not suffer a system to exist that is sacrificing the present and future healths of prisoners confined for political offences ; a system abeut ¦ which there is something so outrageous to common humanity in the bare supposition of such cruelty , that your memorialists believe they have only to lay their cme before the present Government , in order to secure for the said prisoners , if not an abreviation of their terms of imprisonment , at least a relaxation of their prison treatment , or what we jet most-earnestly

      petition for , a removal of the said Robert Peddie , William Brooks , and others , to some other places of confinement , where the horrors of the silent system are net inflicted ; farther , your memorialists _sbeweth that the said Robert Peddie , _William Brooks , and others , now suffering in Wakefield House of Correction , were convicted on the evidenoe of one James Harrison , that this said James Harrison was the chief instigator of the said conspiracy and riot , and admitted that he had received £ & 0 from the authorities at Bradford , far his labour in this business—that the s _^ id James Harrison was at the time a notorious informer against poor publicans , and continued to be such until the _magistrates refused to take his _evidence—that he has left his wife and famUy to the care of the parish , and is now in _Prestf-n Gaol , _waiting his trial for horse stealine .

      That your memorialist * submit these facts to yonr Honour , in the hope that they may induce your Honour to recommend the case of the said Robert Peddie , Win . Brooks , and others to tojsI fstout , they having been convicted on the evidence of so bad a character as the said James Harrison . And your memorialist * ¦ will ever pray . Signed , On behalf of the meeting , _Robest Demais , Chairman . York . Sept 30 th , 1 S 41 .

      BACTJP . —H & xgraves , the Com Law humbug , said that this place was one hundred years behind any other in point of civilization , but had he said one hundred years before any other in point of tyranny , he would have said aright But the men have been awakened to a sense of their duty , and are determined not to be trampled on any longer . There has been an Association formed , and it consists of fifty members , although only began one week , and is nightly increasing ; we have had an address from Messrs . Marsden and Tittersa . il , of _Bcraley , in the open air , ¦ which was well attended , and they expounded the principles of the Charter in a clear and manly style , " which was _liBtesed to "vrith intense

      interest . The meeting was very quiet , with the exception of some interruption from a Blue Bottle , who is known in Bacup by the name of "Past Eleven , " alias " Little Bobby , " and two Cotton Lords , one of whom actually can neither read cr write , and the other we pass by in silent contempt ; but if again they annoy us , ¦ we shall lay their names and character before . the _public . The meeting gave three cheers for Feargus O'Connor ; three eheers for the Charter ; and three cheers for the speakers ; and then separated . Thus has the most tyrannical little village in England been _eroKen in upon by the perseverance of the working men . —We have to acknowledge the receipt of Ss . 3 d . from Rockcliffe calico block printers and a few other friends .

      on the editor of the _Weekly Dispatch for the paragraph at the head of Notice to Correspondents , headed Political Blood Hounds , for his partial conduct in selecting such _extracts from the sermon of Mr . Watkins , as best suited to the views of his own mind , to calumniate the Chartists generally _sts _b _. sss _. smt ) 3 of the deepest die j and that the said editor is deserving the censure of every _hoatst and upright mind for the one-sided view which he has taken in the said paragraph contained in the Dispatch of Sunday , the 3 rd of October , and that we are determined to support no other portion of the press but that which supports the rights and liberties of the industrious millions "

      COVENTRY . _—Chahtism . —A puDlic lecture was announced to take place on Friday , at eight o'clock * , in the _George Room , Little Park-street At the hour appointe-i , the large room was nearly filled—Mr . Mahon , of Manchester , in the chair . After a few appropriate and pithy observations , the chairman introduced Mr . Mason , as M _. P . for Gatesbead , Mr . Mason mounted the platform , amid the plandits of the assembly . He commenced by saying that the Charter must become the law of the land , to enable the poor oppressed working man to better his condition , and render his home comfortable and happy . He _showad the meeting , in a _cliar and forcible manner , the benefits to be derived

      from a democratic Government , _basel upon" the principles of the People ' s Charter . He made allusions to the French Revolution , spoke of the conduct of the middle classes towards _Robefpiere , and warned the people of England against pntting any faith in middle clas 3 promises . He touched upon various topics , and finished by a most eloquent appeal to the young men present to assist in obtaining the Charter . He sat down amid thundering applause , after speaking for nearly two hours . Mr . Thomas Marshall proposed a vote of thanks to the lecturer for his able and talented lecture , ¦ which was seconded by Mr . _Blackwell , and carried unanimously . Thanks were given to the chairman , and Uie meeting quietly dispersed , _highly pleased with the

      sight * proceedings . ABERGAVENNY . —We keep progressing here , and cautious who we admit into our Association . We transmitted to the executive £ l , and we shall continue in support them at far as in us lies . At our weekly meeting of Monday , the 27 th _Lastant , it was proposed by Mr . Griffiths and seconded by Mr . Holbrook , " That we , the Chartists of _Abergavenny , ia public meeting assembled , through die col Mans of the Star , do most respectfully assure the slaving millions of our Irish brethren , that we shall never rest until the Charter , to the fullest extent be given to Ireland as well as England , and further , to use every lawful and constitutional

      means in our power , and never to rest satisfied ., even at the risk of oar life and property , until equal justice is meted out to England , Ireland , Scotland , and Wales . " We would also suggest , that such resolutions should grace the pages of the Star from every Association in England , Scotland , snd Wales , thereby showing to Irishmen that we are their real friends , and not as the big _Bsggarmao _, Dan , has chosen to call us , the open foe Erin go bragh 1 At the same meeting , & vote of een-• ure wh pawed apon Henry Hetheringtoa , for his baae sod cowardly conduct , in challenging the People ' s Friend , who had just come from his cold cell , after a _toog confinement _^ and whose time was taken up in ten-

      dering his repects to the friends who so kindly Invited him all round the kingdom . We hope , for the future , that Friend O'Connor will think such men be neath his notice , for , rest assured , he is too elosely entwined around the hearts of an enlightened people , that any attack which he or any of his party could attempt in order to sever him from them wonld prove fruitless . — Mr . Black lectured here on the 30 th ult , and _slthougH we tud but ene hour ' s notice , tbe room was crowded This is the first lecture given on Chartism here , except by cur own _memoers . Several of the middle class men were there , and were highly pleased with the discourse It was proposed that two lecturers be appointed for Monmouthshire and Glamorganshire _^ audthat our Asso ciation contribute their share ; on the show of hands being taken , the Chairman declared it unanimous .

      OROGHBDA . —We have seen a private letter from a good Chartist in Drogheda to Mr . Peter Hoey frem which we give the following : — " I also want to know from you , as agent of the Northern Star , whether you can send me tha Star as early as Sunday morning ; for there are thirteen in number who wish to buy the paper , and give you the credit of se _* _iding it , if you can let us have it by the time above-mentioned . We have received a good supply of Stars this last fortnight , but still they are not half equal to the demand for them ; so great has been the spread of Chartist principles since you left ; of course I mean the working classes—and some of those who were ready to knock

      a man down for being a _Caartist a few weeks since . Many , indeed , are the conversions these last few days to Chartism , notwithstanding all the fearful opposition it has met with-- And I have to inform you that there are two clubs more to be formed in other parts of the town , for the purpose of having the Star on Sunday morning . The Tontine society , which Michael Crosby belongs to , called a general meeting of the society . for the purpose of _puttiog him out , for the treasonable crime of reading the Slar ; and after bringing all their powers to bear on him , they failed . We are preparing to send eighty names to be enrolled in the Dublin Universal Suffrage Association . "

      PERTH- —Mr . J . B . O'Brien ' s release from Lancaster Castle was announced on Friday last , by the display of a considerable number of flags ; and in the afternoon a _meeting was held in Canal Crescent , to congratulate him on the event The evening was wet , and somewhat boisterous , and the meeting was held at an unusually early hour ; owing to this , and other concurring causes , it was but thinly attended . They agreed , however , to several resolutions , acd an address was read , and unanimously approved of ; and a committee was appointed to forward it to Mr . O'Brien without delay . — ( Received too late for cur last . )

      CARLISLE . —Tbe Council of the Carlisle Radical Association held its usual weekly meetiDg , on Saturday evening last , when arrangements were entered into fer the defence cf _William Biake , who stands charged with assaulting ; a policeman , during the late election fer the Borough . We _mentiontd this case a few weeks ago , and gave the substance of the evidence against Blake , as given before the magistrates at the Town Hall , and had thougkt , from the character of that evidence , that the prosecution would have been stayed . Indeed , the Mayor , John Dixon , Esq _, told a deputation , who waited upon him to make the necessary enquiry , that , except it was " a Tery flagrant case indeed , he would endeavour to stop the prosecution , as he thought there had been a sufficiency © f such prosecutions : and that he

      would examine the depositions . " On the deputation cailing again , they were astonished to find , that the magistrates who committed Blake would not give way . so that the prosecution will go on at the forthcoming Sessions , which are to be held at Cockermouth , in the course of a fortnight The defence of Blake will cost upwards of five pounds—in addition to what has already bees expended in the other cases—a Buna not less than from thirty to forty pounds—ill cf which has been raised by penny subscriptions The prosecutions will hive cost the Borough a much large * ram—not lees , we suppose , than one hundred pounds ! Thus has the poor been put to much expence and _inconvenience , and tbe borough to the expenditure of an enormous sum of

      money , which has been squandered away in silly and uncalled-for prosecutions , with one exception . We would recommend ibe people to call upon some one of the Town Council to move for a return of all the expeaces of the late prosecutions arising out of the borough election ; and _thus show to the inhabitants how the funds of th 9 town have been expended . Did ¦ these Whig borough magistrates act with the same rigour and caution at the county election when Sir _Jampa Graham , the Home Secretary , was most shame-/ _ully treated ; when , as he retired from the hustings , a parcel of hired ruffians attacked him and his friends on their way to the Bush Inn , broke Sir James's umbrella over his head , ill-treated his son , and assaulted his party with brickbats and other missiles ? Ne ! they

      allowed all these gross outrages to pass over without the slightest attempt to bring the offenders to justice . ' nay , we may go further and say , that , we were grieved to hear some of the Whig party rejoice at the ill-treatment Sir James had met with . Nor can we pass over the conduct of some of these Bame gentlemen , previous to the passing of the Reform BilL Aye ! these were the palmy days of Whig agitation , when _£ 3 ither life nor property was safe , when our present mayor ( not then so tenacious of our laws ) actually recommended the people at a public meeting , to pay no more taxes , but to button up their breeches pockets—when our marketplace nightly glared with the flames of torches , to exhibit to a gazing and heedless throng , the effigies of the Duke of Wellington , the bishops , _Colonel Lowther and others , about to be sei fire to , in the public

      Marketplace , amidst the maddening shouts of an infuriated and deluded ciowd , and the heartless laughter of the entire Whig faction . This was conduct sufficiently disgraceful in itself ; but what will b * thought of the party , when we stats tint some of the very Whig leaders not oaly countenanced such disorderly proceeding but actually encouraged them , by subscribing money , and furnishing old clothes to fabricate the _tfBgies , which previous to their being burnt , were examined by them and admired for the likeness they bore to the originals ? One leading "Whig , on steins the procession which was headed by a placard , containing ia large letters the alarming and eminous words " death to the constitution , '' considered he could add to its brilliancy , and to accomplish this , he purchased a pint of turpentine , in which to steep the torches . Aye , aye ; we cannot but _rembember such things were . —Correspondent .

      Contemplated Reception of Mil Feargus O'Co > _' _> OB . —A motion was brought forward in the Council to the effect " That the Council use every exertion to give Mr . O Connor & hearty and _resp « ctful reception , when be visits Carlisle ; but owing to tbe depressed state of the funds , and William Blake having to be defended , they cannot enter into arrangements for an expensive _demonstration , which may involve the association in a debt , which they will be unable to liquidate , owing to the great poverty of a majority of its members . " Every ofae present seemed to participate in the desire that every respect should be paid to Mr . O'Connor , for his great public services .

      BLACKW _003 . —Revival of Chartism . —The good cause is still alive at Blackwood . We have , it is true , been very apathetic of late , but thanks to the Com Law repealers , we are in a fair way of shaking off our indifference , and once more resuming our old position in the Chartist ranks , with the advantage , too , of having added considerably to our stock of experience , without , I trust , having lost any of that enthusiasm which characterised our movements in days gone by . A meeting had been convened by the Corn Let repealers , to be holden at Penmain Chipel , near Blackwood , on Saturday last , the 2 nd instant , to dLscus 3 the propr iety of memorializing her Majesty upon the present distressed state of the country ; but upon its being whispered about that the Chartists were expected to

      attend , the managers of the chapel , in their Christian liberality , would not permit the meeting to be held i there ; but another chapel being soon procured , the business _& f the meeting proceeded . Canuour , however , demands that we should not attribute any of this illiberal feeling to Messrs . Jenkins and Ellis , the Rev . gentlemen who had been the means of getting up the meeting , and we feel sorry that gentlemen of such liberal opinions should content themselves with standing forward for any thing short of the whole " rights j of man . " The Rev . Mr . Ellis opened the proceedings , with prayer . The Rev . gentleman then moved " That the Rt : v . Mr . Jenkins , Fleur de Lis , do take the chair , " " which having been seconded , was carried without oppo-, siVion . The- _~ _Rev . Gentleman proceeded to state the

      objects for which the meeting was called together , acd advocated , at some length , tbe plan for obtaining a repeal of the Corn Laws recommended by the conference lately held at Manchester ; he concluded by calling upon Mr . Ellis , Independent minister , Monythyslwn , to move the first resolution , whica was to the following effect , — " Thai this meeting deeply feeling for the presmt distressed state of the country , through the operation of the Com Laws , deem it of importance that a memorial be presented to the Queen , praying her not to prorogue Parliament until the question be fully discussed , and effectual measures adopted , for their abolition . " The resolution having been briefly seconded by Mr . R _Davies , Blackwood , Mr . W . G . Davies rose to move the following amendment : — " That this meet

      ing humbly , yet firmly , address her Majesty , praying her to exercise her prerogative by dissolving the Parliament bow sitting ; and that this meeting further implore her Majesty in her kindly feelings to-¦ wards an oppressed , afflicted , and immoderately-taxed people , that she will immediately dismiss her present Ministry , and call men to her councils who will propose to the sew Parliament such measures as shall secure to the people a full and fair representation in the legislature . The mover of the amendment was ef opinion that the corn monopoly was a great injustice , but it was not the greatest injustice . There was another injustice as great , nay , greater , and more monstrous

      than that ; he meant that monopoly which gave to a section of the _commonly the power of disposing of the means , and even the lives of the majority . Surely , the men without votea had no hand in producing the present frightful , state of society . The privileged classes had had it all to themselves . Now that they had proved their incompetancy to govern , let others be called in to assist He then proceeded to shew what class law-making had done for them ; how it had expended thousands of millions of the people's money in crusades against humanity ' s rights . He concluded with Feargus O'Connor ' s motto , " Universal Suffrage and no Surrender . " Mr . W . Miles , of Merthyr , seconded

      Yohxl—A Public Meeting Vas Held On Thurs...

      the amendment in Welsh , and brought forward some statistical facts connected with the price of corn before ud since the passing of the corn tax . He then referred to the factory system , and the application of steam power to manufactures , showing that machinery had out-marched law making . Sir Arthur O'Davies , Woodfield , supported the amendment . He was for teaching the people , and giving them opportuilltietfeof obtaining all sorts ef knowledge , but , above all , he was for" teaching them a knowledge of their rights ! He was for giving the people power to do away with all bad laws ; but be was for wasting no more time with

      patching and propping up . He , concluded by «* lling upon the meeting to press the amendment The amendment was put to the meeting , when the Chairman , after having put the resolution , declared the . amendment to be carried . Sir - A . O'Davies then _mojiB , That the Chairman be requested to draw ; op and sign an address to her Majesty , embodying the sentiments contained in the amendment , and that the address be forwarded to Lord Brougham for presentation . Mr . E . _Hees , of Merthyr , then addressed the meeting briefly in Welsh , and conclude ! by seconding Mr . Davies ' _s resolution . A . _vate of th _* " _* " having been carried to the Chairman , the meeting separated .

      _MIDDLESBRO _' . —A delegate meeting will be held here on Sunday , tbe 10 th of October , ' when delegates are expected from Stockton , Darlington , Yarm , Hartlepool , _Stokesley , and other places , for the purpose of making permanent arrangements for the proper organization of the above mentioned places , and also to consider what would be the most efficient plan of agitating the above named districts in favour of the People ' s Charter . The meeting will take place at two o'clock in the afternoon' at the Working Men's Reading Room , 15 , Newcastle-row .

      SELBY .... On Friday evening , Mr . Skevington , the East-Riding Missionary , visited this town according to announcement in the Slar of last week , _ard delivered a splendid lecture iu the New Tictoria Room , which had been engaged for the occasion . The room was well filled with a very respectable and orderly company , which consisted chiefly of Mr . O'Connor ' s faithful " lads , " namely , the blistered hands and true hearts . There were several middle-class men present , and a fair portion of the fair sex , to whoin Mr . S . gave some very good hints , which is to be hoped will not be lost sight of by them . To attempt to give even a mere outline of his talented , able and instructive oration would be folly indeed surBce it to say , that the worthy gentleman gave universal satisfaction to all present , and at the close , a subscription was entered into towards defraying the expences of the room , when a handsome sum was raised . Chartism is increasing in and around this place . Every meeting night brings new members .

      AShton-under-IiTNE . —James Bronterre O'Buies , Esq—On Saturday last this indefatigable , talented , and persecuted _geuteman , visited Ashton by invitation , and delivered a pleasing and soul stirring lecture , to a crowded and attentive audience . On Mr . O'Brien making his appearance he was greeted by long and loud continued cheering and clapping of hands . Mr . O'Brien spoke for three hours and was cheered throughout .

I must also inform you that my brother-in-law . Mr . W . J . _Barres , of this town , has , through my wonderful restoration to life and sound health , made use of Parr ' s Life Pills , and their effects on him have , if possible , been even more miraculous than on myself . He had suffered from a most _distressing asthma , cough , & c , for above seven years , but , after using one box at 2 s . 9 d ., is quite a new being . The most remarkable part of his case is this—his finger and toe nails , which had become so diseased that they were quite unsightly , have been replaced by new and perfect' ones . This has been considered by many who have visited him as a curiosity and wonder ; for my part , I have ceased to wonder at any cure effected by Old Parr . I continue to enjoy the best of health " and spirits , and am yours very respectfully , John Osbokne , " Late of her Majesty ' s 52 nd Regiment of Foot , discharged incurable by the Regimental Doctors .

" Aug . 27 th , 1841 . " Gentlemen , —Were I to enumerate all the Cures and _Benefits _obtained by taking thi 3 famous remedy ( and are offered to me ) , it would require a book as large a ? a Church Bible to write them in ! Not a day passes but some one comes to acknowledge the blessings of a cure—some one being made free in their Iimb 3 from pain and rheumatism , some cured of sick head-ache of long standing , some from violent bilious attacks , others cured of the ague , of swelled legs , and sore legs , for curing the palpitation of the heart , and , wonderful to relate ! old men and women say , since they took Old Parr's Pills , they have enjoyed better health , better spirits , better appetite , had more nerve'and strength than they had experienced for the past twenty years , and that Old Parr is like new life to them , for they feel all those deliKhtfcl changes in the system . Ia fact , these wonderful Pills appear to contain all the virtues of the pothecaries shop , without having to go through all the regular doses of draughts and boluses . "My sale , instead of decreasing , increases . Since last Aagnst , when I received the first supply of Parr ' s Life Pills ( with the four gross you may now send me by first conveyance ) , I have had 2 , 076 boxes at Is .

      VALUABLE WORKS Just published , price 2 s . 12 mo . bound in cloth , T 7 _UFTEEN LESSONS ON THE ANALOGY r AND SYNTAX OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE , for the use of adult persons who have neglected the study of Grammar . BY WILLIAM HILL . The Lessons , in thi 3 Work , are intended _sololi for the use of natives . They are divested , therefore , of all those _hair's-breadth distinctions and unnecessary subdivisions in Analogy , which , if at all useful , can only be useful to foreigners . The science of Grammar is disentangled , in this Work from the folds of mysticism which have so long enshrouded it . Tha absurd and unmeaning technicalities , which pervade all other Works on Grammar , are exchanged for terms which have a definite and precise meaning , illustrative of the things they represent . The Parts of Speech are arranged on an entirely new principle , founded ou a Philosophical Consideration of the Nature of Language , and applicable to all Languages . The necessary Divisions and Subdivisions are rationally accounted for ; and the Frinciples of Universal Grammar demonstrated , so fully that the meanest capacity may understand them as clearly as it understands that two and two make fonr . In Syntax , the formation of the English Language is exclusively consulted , without any unnecessary referenco to other Languages . A majority of the numerous Rules given in most Grammars are shown to be little better _tkan a heap of senseless Tautology . The necessary Rules are demonstrated upon rational Principles , and illustrated by a variety of Examples . By the Usa of this Book and its accompanying Exercises , any person may , in a few weeks , acquire a good knowledge of Grammar without any of the disgustiug drudgery , which , under the present System , prevents nine out of ten from ever acquiring a knowledge of Grammar at all . THE FOLLOWING TESTIMONIALS OF THE PRESS , Seleoted from u host of similar ones , may convey some idea of the public estimation in which this Work is holden : — " Mr . Hill is evidently an original thinker . He attacks , with ability and success , the existing system of English Grammar , and points out the absurdities with which it is encumbered . Justly condemning the too frequent practice of making pupils commit portions of Grammar to memory as tasks , he maintains that tho only proper way to the memory is through the understanding . . . . It is but justice to him to say that , in a few pages , he gives a more clear and comprehensive view of the structure of tho English language than can be found in some very elaborate \ _toxba "—Literary Gazette .

PERRY & Co ., CONSULTING SURGEONS , 44 , Albion Street , Leeds , ( Private Entrance in the Passage , ) and 4 , Great Charles Street , Birmingham , ILLUSTRATED BY EIGHT FINE ENGRAVINGS , THE SILENT FRIEND , A PRACTICAL TREATISE on Venereal and Syphilitic Diseases , in their mild and most alarming forms , shewing the different stages of those deplorable and often fatal disorders , including observations on the baneful effects of Gonorrhoea , Gleets , and Striotures . The Work is embellished with Engravings , representing the deleterious influence of Mercury on the external appearance of the skin , by eruptions on the head , face , and body ; to which are added very extensive observations on sexual debility , seminal weakness , and impotency , brought on by a delusive habit , all its attendant sympathies and dangerous consequences considered , with the most approved mode of treatment and cure , without confinement or interruption from business , the whole accompanied by explanatory engravings , with general instructions for the perfect restoration of those who are incapacitated from entering into the holy state of Marriage , by the evil consequences arising from early abuse , or syphilitic infection . This invaluable Work will be seoretly inclosed with each box of Perry ' s Purifying Specific Pills , ( Price 2 s . 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d ., and Us . ) and the Cordial Balm of Syriacum ( Price 11 s . and 33 s . per bottle ) , and is pointed out to suffering humanity as a Silent Friend , to be consulted without exposure , and with assured confidence of success . PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS , Price 2 s . 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d ., and 11 s . per Box , are well known throughout Europe and America , to be the most certain and etfe . ctual cure ever discovered for every stage and symptom of the Venereal Disease , in both sexes , including Gonorrhoea , Gleets , Secondary Symptoms , Strictures , Seminal Weakness , Deficiency , and all diseases of the Urinary Passages , without loss of time , confinement , or hindrance from business . They have effected the most surprising cures , not only in recent and severe cases , but when salivation and all other means have failed ; and when an early application is made to these Pills for the cure of tho above complaint , frequently contracted in a moment of inebriety , the eradication is generally completed in a few days . The rash , indiscriminate , and unqualified use of Mercury , has been productive of infinite mischief ; under the notion of its being an antidote for a certain disease , the untutored think they have only to saturate their system with Mercury , and the business is accomplished . Fatal error I Thousands are annually either mercurialised out of existence , or their constitutions so broken , and the functions of nature 60 impaired , as to render the residue of life miserable . The disorder we have in view owes Us fatal result either to neglect or ignorance . In tho hirst stage it is always local , and easy to be extinguished by attending to the directions fully pointed out in the Treatise , without the smallest injury to the constitution ; but when neglected or improperly treated , a mere local affection will be converted into an incurable and fatal malady . What a pity that a young man , the hope of his country and the darling of his parents , should be snatched from all the prospects and _enjoymentrof life by the consequences of one unguarded moment , and by a disease which is not , in its own nature , fatal , and which never proves so if properly treated . . It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to this horrid disease , owing to the _unskilfulness of literate men ; who , by the use of that deadly

      poison , mercury , rain the constitution , _eanauig _ulcerations , blotches on tho head , face , and body , dimness of eight , noise in the ears , deafness , obattnate gleets , nodes on the spin bones , ulcerated _soi « throat , diseased , nose , with noctural pains in the head and _litobs , till at lenetb . a general debility of the constitution ensues , and a melancholy death _puta a period to their dreadful sufferings . * These Pills art mild and effectual in their operation , without meronry , w mineral , and require bo restraint in diet , loss" of time , or hindrance from business : possessing the power of eradicating every symptom of the disease in its worst Btage , _without theleast exposure to the patient ; they are particnlarly recommended to be taken before _pcrsqha enter into the matrimonial state , lest the _indiscretions ' of a parent are the source of vexation to him the remainder of his existence , by afflicting his innocent but unfortunate offspring with the evil eruptions ' of a malignant tendency and a variety of other complaints that are most assuredly introduced by the same neglect and imprudence . It is only by purifying the vital stream from insidious disease , that the body can be preserved in health and vigour . Hence the infinite variety of complaints an infected 6 tate of the blood induces , and hence the new and deceptive forms a tainted habit puts on , which often deceive the mo _^ t eminent of the faculty , and baffle the best intentions towards a cure . . In- those disorders wherein salivation has left th « patient uncured , weak , and disheartened , and when no other remedy could restore the unhappy sufferer to that health which he has unfortunately lost , the Purifying Specific Pills will be found the only effectual and radical remedy ; and have ever been successful , though administered in many desperate cases of Evil , Scurvy , and Leprosy , as well aa removing Pimples from the Face , Sore Logs , or other disagreeable Eruptions on the head , face , and body . , Price 2 s . 9 d ,, 4 s . 6 d ., and 11 s . per Box . _, Prepared only by Messrs .

      MEDICAL ADVICE . MESSRS . WILKINSON A _5 D CO . SURGEONS , No . 13 , Trafalgar-street , Leeds . HAVING devoted their Studies exclusively for many years to the successful treatment or the Venereal Disease , in all its various forms ; also , to the frightful consequences resulting from that destructive practice , " Self Abuse , " may be Personally Consulted from Nine in the Morning till Ten at Night , and on Sundays till Two . Attendance every Thursday at No . 4 , Georgestreet . Bradford , ( from Ten till Fire . ) In recent cases a perfect Cure is completed within a Week , or no Charge made for Medicine after that period , and Country Patients , by making only one personal ' visit , will receive such Advice and Medi _» cinesthat will enable them to obtain a permanent and effectual Cure , when all other means have failed . They hope that the successful , easy , and expedition ! modethey have adopted , oferadicatingevery symptom of a . certain disease , without any material alteration in diet , or hindrance of business , and yet preserving the _constitution in full vigour , and free from injury , will establish their claims for support . As this Disease is one which is likely to be contracted whenever exposure takes place , it is not like many other visitors , once in life , but , on the contrary , one infection may scarcely have been removed , when another may unfortunately be imbibed ; therefore , the practitioner requires real judgment in order to treat each particular case in such a manner as not merely to remove the present attack , but to preserve the constitution unimpaired , in case of a repetition at no distant period . The man of experience can avail himself of the greatest improvements in modern practice , by being able to distinguish between discharges of a specific and of a simple or mild nature , which can only be made by one in daily practice , after due consideration of all circumstances . In the same manner at birth , appearances often take place in children , which call for a proper knowledge and acquaintance with the disease , in order to discriminate their real nature , and which may be tho means of sowing domestic discord , unless managed by the Surgeon with propriety and skill . Patients labouring under this disease , cannot be too cautious into whose hands they commit themselves . The propriety of this remark is abundantly manifested , by the same party frequently passing tha ordeal , of several practitioners , before he is fortunate enough to obtain a perfect care . The following are some of the many symptoms that distinguish this disease : —A general debility ; eruption on the head , face , and body ; ulcerated sore throats , scrofula , swellings in the neck , nodes on the shin bones , cancers , fistula , pains in the head and limbs , which are frequently mistaken for _rheumatisffli & o . & _o . Messrs . W . and Co . ' s invariable rule is to give » Card to each of their patients , as a guarantee fot Cure , which they pledge themselves to perform , or return the fee . For the accommodation of those who cannot cob * veniently consult Messrs . W . and Co . personally , they may obtain the Purifying Drops , price 4 s . 60 ., at any _^ of the following Agents , witn Printed Directions , _$ o plain that Patients of either Sex may Cure themselves , without even the knowledge of a bed * fellow .
