      A CERTAIN DISEASE CURED WITHLN ONE AYEEK . Jn conseque ? ice of Dr . JT ' Ukinson ' s extensive practice fie has considered it advisable to remove from Bunslet , to 60 , bottom of Templar-street , for the greater convenieiiee of his patients , ichere he may be -consulted as usual . TVR .. WILKCsSO ^ s , Surgeon , No . 60 , Bottom of Templar ' Street , Leeds , continues , with SJ unabated assiduity , to eradicate every species of Infection . In recent cases , a perfect cure is completed within a week , or no charge made for Medicines after the expiration of that period . A-nfl in those of the utmost inveteracy , where other Practitioners ha ^ e failed , a proper perseverance in lusplan of treatment insures to the patient , a safe , well grounded , and lastin g re-establishment consulted with the greatest , seefec-y and honour , athw house from nine to one , and from four tiD nine , and on Sundays till two . He hopes that the successful , easy , and expeditious mode he has adopted , of eradicating every symptom of a Certain Disease , without any material alteration in diet , or hindrance of business aad yet ¦ preserving the constitution in full vigour and iree from injury , will establish bis claims fer * support . Ab this Disease is one which is likely to be contracted whenever exposure takes place , it is not like many other visitors , once in life , Tsut on the contrary , one infection may scarcely have been removed when smother may unfortunately ~ 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 the means of sowing domestic discord , unless managed " by the Surgeon with propriety and skilL Patients labouring tinder this Disease , cannot lie too cautious into whose tand they commit themselves . The propr iety of tils remark is abundantly manifested . "by the sams party frequently passing the ordeal of several Practitioners , before he is fortunate enough to obtain a perfect cure . The following are some » f the many symptoms that distinguish this Disease : —a general debility , erupt ions on the head , face , and body ; ulcerated sore throats , scrofula " « wellings in the neck ., nodes on the shin bones , cancers , fistula , pains in the head and limbs , which are frequently mistaken for rheumatism , &c . &c . Patients in the country , "by stating their cases and enclosing a remittance , may have proper remedie ent to the amount , with directions so simple and plain , that parties of either sex may cure themselves .

      In consequence » f numerous applications continually received from Bradford and the Neighbourhood one of the Proprietors of Dr . Henry ' s French Heroine Pills , will attend every Wednesday ' and Thursday , at No . 4 , George Street , facing East Brook Chapel , Bradford . A TREATISE IS JUST . PUBLISHED OX THE VENEREAL & SYPHILITIC DISEASES , AND GIVEN WITH EACH BOX OF DR . HENRY'S FRENCH HEROINE PILLS , r \ ONTAISESG plain and practical directions for the effectual cure of all degrees of the above eom-\ J plaints—with observations pn seminal weakness arisingfrom early abuses , and the deplorable conseguences resulting from the use of mercury , the -whole intended for the instruction of general readers so that all persons can obtain an immediate cure with secrecy and safety . Prepared and sold b y the sole Proprietor , at No . 16 , PARK SQUARE , Leeds , where they may be consulted as usual . In Boxes 2 s . 9 d , and 4 s . 6 d . each . With each Box is given directioES how to take these Pills , observations on points "beneficial to the patient , being hints worth knowing by those who are , or have been , sufferers from this dreadful and devastating malady . That cruel disease which has destroyed so many thousands is now unhappily so well "known that a recital of its effeete is quite unnecessary , its malignant influence extending by inheritance from family to family , and when the great Doctor Henry became professor to the University , he conferred an invaluable "benefit upon mankind "b y the / discovery of Ms grand panacea for the cure of this deplorable complaint The certainty with which the Pills are continually administered can be attested by many thousands who are annually cured "by them . What mediciae can be more appropriate than that which has given such general satisfaction ? The French Pills root out every particle of the insidious poison , purifying in their progress the whole mass of fluids . They not only remove the disease but they renovate by their action the different fore ions of the "body—expelling the grosser humour , and in a manner so impercept ible as to convince the most sceptical of their astonishing and unequalled powers . They neither contain mercury Bor any other mineral , and may be takenwithout the slightest suspicion of discovery ; they require no restraint of diet , Ios 3 of time , or hindrance of business , but effect a complete cure without the least exposure to the patient . At any period when the slightest suspicion may exist it will "be well to have recourse to the French Pills ; for when taken 'before the disease has made its appearance they act as a certain preventive removing the complaint effectually and secretly . The deplorable state in which many persons tave been ¦ when visiting the Doctor ( from the use of mercury ) renders it imperatively necessary to caution the public against that dangerous mineral when , injudiciously administered . The Doctor , after an extensive practice " of Thirty Tears , has rendered his counsel an object of file utmost consequence to all who are labouring under hereditary or deep seated maladies ; to those troubled with seminal weakness , his advice will be invaluable ; hundreds * have owned Ms skill in these complaints . To the youth of both sexes , whether lured from health by the promptings of passion , or the delusions of inexperience , Ms advice is superior ; in his practice he unites a mild gentleness of treatment , and possessing so thorough a knowledge of his art , the most deplorable eases afford no resistance to Ms skill . His extensive practice has rendered him the depositary of many distressing secrete wMeh are kept with-unblemished ¦ faith and honour 5 to persons so afflicted , it s highly necessary to observe that an early application is of the greatest importance , and that with snch a practitioner any hesitation in disclosing their disorder , must amount to a delicacy as destructive as it is false and unnecessary . To the neglect of snch attention , are attributable many of those hapless instances , wMeh , while they excite the commiseration of the beholder , should also impress Kim with the fear of self-reproach . To all snch , then , we address ourselves , offering lope—enersy—muscular strength—felicity ; nor ought our advances to appear questionable , sanctioned as they are by the multiplied proofs of tMrty years' successful experience . Letters ( post paid ) inclosing a remittance , answered by the return of port , and Medicines punctually transmitted to any address , either by initials , or name . Back enrraneej-West-Street , One Door from St . Panl ' s Church . With each Bex will be ^ ghen practical observations , graftiitoxislv , on the above disease . The Doctor will attend daily at his principal residence , No . 16 , Park Square , from Eight in the morning toll Ten at night , and on Sunday from Nine till Two , where he will administer advice to any one aking these Pill ? , or any other of his Preparations , without a fee .

      The Convict John . Rickey . —This unhppj man , who was found guilty on Wednesday last e d the Central Criminal Court , of the wilful murderd Sergeant James Hamilton , of the 12 th Lancen , lj shooting him with a pistol , is perfectly resigned to the fate which was announced to him by Mr . Joitke Park , who passed sentence of death on him tie following day without holding out the slightest iopa of mercy . Before his trial , and once since 11 % ment was pronounced upon him , he expressed ami to see his wife and only child , a boy about tbe years old , and his desire was complied with by Mf .

      Cope , the Governor of the prison . The interri «» i particularly the last , are described as most affecting the unfortunate man having always lived on go ™ terms with his wife ; and being temaik ably foid d his child . Indeedj the character which he bore in the regiment showed that his conduct wag ir » proachable up to the time he committed the dreaJfi ! act , and one of the principal witnesses who appfara against him on the trial , private M . Kelly , decto that he had always considered him the " qmetes man in the regiment , " which testimony ' was ftMj corroborated by Captain yandeleur , under whom In

      had served for a period of eight years . There p one , singalar fact that was not mentioned st thf trial , namel y , that the wife of the murdered inii who , of all p ersbns , might be natnrally supposed o entertain a strong feeling against Rickey , actoallj travelled up from Hampton Court on the day of thf trial , for the express purpose of recommending MS to mercy , She was advised , however , not to do so as her recommendation would produce no goodefiKt and possibly inight expose her to unpleasant coo ment . No day has as yet been fixed for fr execution , and we understand that some difficoltj

      exists upon the subject , which has placed the uf authorities connected with the Central Crinrim Court in rather an unpleasant situatdpn . Priori the amendment of the law regarding murder , tence of death was always passed at the close of * session by the Recorder , upon prisoners tried s * convicted of capital offences before the Judges . *> a recent Act of Parliament , however , the Ja » who tries the case is directed to pass sentence Bf * the convict , but , by a singular omission in the M he is not empowered to fix a day for the exeeoB * Mr . Justice Park considered , no' doubt , that *

      would not be justified in naming a day , as iWfi <*} silent upon that point , and we believe the Eewr has declared that he cannot interfere , inasmuch '' he knows nothing of the case , and the pow ^ passing sentence of death is , taken from ^^ him- r this : dilemma , the sheriffs , we understand , « e | applied to ; but they were naturally anxious » .. » r so serious a responsibility from their own should ^) and the result was that it was determined £ o » Pip to the Home Office for directions how tb " -aicf . ' "i'er

      circumstances so urgent and peculiar . . The new I ** in extending the time between the conviction of f murderer and his execution , allows him to -live . . flj 8 two Sundays from the former time , so that the pen " of life allowed to the wretched man in the p ^ instance , would legally expire this day week , p " vided that the recommendation of the jurylp ^ favour be of no avail , and tHat the law will M '" to take its course , of which , indeed , there caf » little doubt after the observations of the Le ^ Judge in passing sentence . We have not heara ^ result of the application to Lord John Russell . pp the subject of fixing a day for the execution ; ^ is generally believed that the matter will be reierrei to the legal advisers of the crown .
