      GOOD NEWS FOR THE MILLION . " Opifer per orlem dicor . " PALEY , the greatest of moral philoso phers , truly enumerates children as among the principal sources of human happiness . —At no period is human life so precarious as in the early itages of infancy ; for it is a fact no less lamentable than true , that a the least one half the children hern in Great Britain perish in a state of Infancy . Of these , some die for want of medicine , but by far the greater portion from the abuse of it . Pernicious gtupefactives , whose baai * is laudanum or other opiates , are conotantly administered to tender . infants especially

      , among the poorer classes . These dangerous comp ounds allay pain for a time by stupefying the senses , but ultimately leave thfe agonised lijttle sufferer in a worse state than before . Theigrior ' atat ^ nd deluded , though anxious , well-meaning . ' and affectionate mother , thus ^ procufei herself a little more ease from nursing , but her darling child either shortl y perishes , or , if it survive , it is only to pass its mortal pilgrimage ( from its constitution having been thus enervated and undermined ) in a state of lethargic insensibility .

      Deeply impressed with the magnitude of these serious evils , and animated with a truly philarithropio zeal to arrest their progress , it was that the late Mr . Atkinson ( a man of original talent , and of superior intellectual attainments generally , as well a * a skilful chemist and apothecary ) directed bis best energies to the formation of a compound suited to the various complaints of infants . His laudable efforts were at length crowned with the . roccens they » p well merited , in * the production of tBat . most invaluable : preparation , . . - ' .. , , '

      ATKINSON'S INFANTS' PRESERVATIVE which has now stood the test of analyzotion , the test of trial , and above allj the fieiy ordeal of p ublic opinion for nearly half a century , and of which fifty thousand bottles are annually sold in Great Britain ! In short , whether this medicine be destined to enter the palace -or the humblest cottage ; the . proprietor alike feels an honest conviction of its power to assuage maternal pain for infant suffering ; to convert that pain into gladness - that suffering into balmy repose .

      As a preventive again » t , and a cure for those complaints to which infants are liable , as affections of the bowels , difficult teething , convulsions , rickets , &c ., it is a pleasant , innocent , and efficacious car . minative ; and an admirable assistant to nature during the progress of the hooping cough , th « measles , and the cow pox , or vaccine inoculation Prepared only by Robert Backer , ( nephew and successor to , and formerly partner with Mr . Atkinson , ) chemist and druggist , No . 1 , Marketplace , Manchester , in moulded bottles , at Is . lid 2 s . 9 d ., and 4 s . 6 d / each .

      MR . SAMUEL LA' MERT , SURGEON ( Licenciate of the Apothecaries' Hall , London , and Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society , &c . ) having devoted his studies for many years exclusively to the various diseases of the Generative Organs , and to the successful TREATMENT OF THE VENEREAL DISEASE , IN all its forms , embracing gonorrhcBa , gleets , seminal weakness , and strictures , eruptions ..- and nocturnal pains , bo frequently mistaken for scurvy and rheumatism , also , to the frightful consequences resulting from that destructive practice , " Self Abuse , " may be personally consulted from Nine in n the morning till Ten at night , and on Sundays from Nine till Two , at his residence ,

      No . 27 , ALBION STREET , LEEDS , And country patients requiring his assistance by making only one personal visit , will receive such advice and medicines that will enable thsm to obtain a permanent and effectual cure , when all other means have failed . When aa early application is made for the cure of a certain disease , frequently contracted in a mement of inebriety , the eradication is generally completed in a few day *; and in the more advanced and inveterate stages of venereal infection , characterised by a variety of painful and distressing symptoms ' , a perseverance in their plan , ( without restraint in diet or exercine , ) will insure to the patient a permaaent and radical cure .

      A complete knowledge of the symptoms and treatment of these insidious and dangerous diseases can only be acquired by those , who in addition . to experience have gone through a regular course of medical instruction , and it cannot be too strengly impressed on the minds of those who have unfortunately contracted any of these disorders , that hundreds fail victims to the immoderate uae of mebcury and irritating balsams , administered by illiterate men , who owing to a total ignorance of the general principles of medicine , ruin the constitution , and cause ulcerated sore throat , diseased nose , and secondary symptoms of a most violent character , unt il a melanchol y death put * a period to their dreadful sufferings .

      LA' MERT'S RESTORATIVE PILLS , Price 2 s . 9 d . and lls . per box , Are well known as a certain and effectual remedy for every stage and symptom of the Venereal Disease , without confinement , loss of time , or hindrance from business ; they have effected many surprising cures , not only in recent gonorrhoea and simple cases , but when salivation and all other means have failed . In those frightful cases of sexnal and nervous debility , brought on by a solitary indulgence in forbid ^ den practices , and which weakens and destroys all the physical and mental powers , occasioning melancholy , deficiency , and the necessity of . renouncing the felicities of marriage , aggravated by all the

      horrors of remorse ; Mr . La Mert , can with confidence offer as a regularly educated member of the medical profession a safe and speedy restoration to sound and vigorous health ; and from the peculiar nature of his practice , embracing every variety ^^ f difficult circumstances , the most timid may feel en couragement in the opportunity thus afforded them MR .
