INFANTILE DISEASES REMOVED . IT has been well and truly observed that" he who makes two blades of grass to grow where but one grew before , is a real benefactor to his country . " Can any eulogy , therefore , be too high for that man , who , with the blessing of God , it enabled , every year of hw life , to rescue many thousands of bi » fellow-creatures from an early grave ?
USE ATKINSON'S INFANT'S PRESERVATIVE !!! Might be chalked uron every wall in town or country ; but as this Medicine has not attained it ' s celebrity ( a celebrity of Fifty Years standing , ) from puffing of any description , so neither does it seek to rest its future fame upon any other basis than the simple fact that upwards of FIFTY THOUSAND BOTTLES of it are annually seld in Great Britain .
For the prevention and cure of those disorders incident to Infants , it is a pleasant , innocent and efficacious Carminative ; intended as a Preventive figainst , and a Cure for , those complaints to which Infants are liable , as Affections of the Bowel * , Difficult Teething , Convulsions , Rickets , &c . and an admirable Assistant to Nature during the progress of the Hooping Cough , the Measles , the Cow Pox , or Vaccine Inoculation .
The superior excellence of this Medicine , which can be attested by any respectable family in Manchester , has induced several unprincipled persons , in various large towns ( particularly St . Helens , Dudley and Liverpool ) , to vend a Counterfeit Medicine , with a copy of the Bill of directions , although the Proprietor is happy to say with very little success ; yet great injury , no doubt , to the suffering infants , and no less pain to their anxious Parents , have been thus occasioned . To prevent which , and in order to obtain the Genuine Medicine , observe that each Bottle has upon the'Stamp affixed over the cork , the name of "Robert Barker , No . ^ Marketplace , Manchester , " engraved thereon , by favor of Her Majesty ' s Commissioners ef StamD Dutei . s
Prepared only by Robert Barker , ( 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 . Sold retail b y most re pectable druggists in town and country , and may be had wholesale of the proprietor , and at the usual medicine houses in ' London .

After receiving your letter , I determined upon giving them a fair trial ^ -therefore gave them regularly to fifteen patients labouring under the worst forms of Scrofula and Scorbutic Affections , and in six weeks , to my astonishment , they were all entirely cured .

MR . SAMUEL LA' MEET , v SURGEON , v ( 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 tb the successful
TREATMENT OF THE VENEREAL DISEASE , IN all its forms , embracing gonorrhea , gleets , seminal weakness ,. ! and strictures , eruptions and nocturnal pains , Btf 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 in the morning till Ten at night , and on Sundays , from Nine till Two . at his residence .
No . 27 , ALBION STREET , LEEDS , ' ¦ r-And country patients requiring his assistance by making only one personal visit , will receive such advice and medicines that will enable them to obtain a permanent and effectual cure , when all other means have failed . When an early application is made for the cure of a certain disease , frequently contracted in a mainrat 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 exercise , ) will insure to the patient a permanent 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 fall victim !) to the immoderate use of mercury 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 oore throat , diseased nose , and secondary symptoms of a roost violent character , until a melancholy death puts a period to their dreadful sufferings .
LA' MERT'S RESTORATIVE PILLS , Price 2 s . 9 d . and 11 s . 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 oases of sexual ana nervous debility , brought on by a solitary indulgence in
forbidden practices , and which weakens and destroys all the p hysical 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 of difficult circumstances , the most timid may feel enr couracement in the opportunity thus afforded them .
MR . LA' MERT may be personall y consuited fronv Nine in the Morning till Te n at Night , and will give advice to persons taking the above , or any other o £ his preparations without a fee . Attendance on Sundays from Nine till Two , where his Medicine can only be obtained , as no BookaeHer ,. Druggist , or any other Medicine Vender is supplied with them .

In order to prevent a great deal of trouble to myself , and unnecessary expense of postage to those at a distance , who wish to come tinder my cars , I beg to inform them what cases I can cure . There is no external disease that the Eye is incident to , but what I can cure , such as pearls and scums . In cases of inflammation , I pledge myself never to fsJl . Cataracts I cannot cure , but can prevent them if I have the patient in time . Of Amaurosis I can cure seven cases out of ten ; and all if they would come to me when they first perceive the dimness in the eye coming en .
I particularly request every on « intending to come under my care if they have friends either in Hull or Bradford , to write and get them to call on every case to know whether the above statement be true or false , as there are so many impostors going about j etting forth that they have performed extraordinary enres , when on enquiry such cures have not been performed . The remedy i ? of the simplest kind , it requires no restriction as to diet or regimen 5 bleeding or blistering is not necessary ; and it may be administered with perfect safety to the tenderest infant .
Mr . CHILD will be in Halifax on January the 4 th , and remain there Friday , Saturday , and Monday , at the Boar ' s Head , Soutogate ; Bradford on Tuesday the 8 th , for one day , at the White Swan ; from there Mr . C . will proceed to Manchester . Where he may be consulted , will be inserted in this paper next week , and in the Manchester papers . Mr . F .

¦ ¦ ¦ ?•* " ¦ - LORDS CHARLEVILLE AND OXMANTOWN . The atrocious murder of Lord Ncxastray , has thrown the two Noble Lords into most excessive grief , and has awakened their every sympathy ; and in their bubbling wrath ,, they make the Priests of Ireland participator * in the dreadful act . But lest the English mind should be gulled by those Neblemen , in the moment of commisseration , we beg ; leave to assure our Readers that bloody Church . Parsons and the Protestant Aristocracy , to which class , unfortunately ,. the two NobleLords belong , have * been the murderers . No ; the -virtuous priesthood : of Ireland have been too forbearing , or long sincethe Churchspawn w « uM havebeen driven from thaland . Where was the sympathy of the Hellijh , crew , when poor Ryan lay in his blood , and the * wild but unprotected mother knelt by bis bleeding corse , in vain invoking justice to hear her prayer . . Where was their pity when the fields of Rathcor «
mac were enmsoned with Catholic blood ? They have compassion for one of their own order , but not , for those who feed them . We hate all cruelty : but . if murder is to be the order of the day , we wouldrather hear of every Irish Church Parsom . and Irish , Peer , both Catholic and Protestant , being mum dered , than hear of the murder of one virtuous , in ^ dustrious , and valuable Irish peasant . The venomous rigmarole of those two Protcatand Church Noblemen , instead of allaying ,, will go far to raise the vengeance of the Catholic fopnlation * Ireland never will—Ireland never can—Ireland never should be tranquil , so loag as the Landlords and Parsons have a prescrijave right , to destroy the people of the country . Tfoo must deafroy the Law Church—the Shooting Church—th » Rascal Church , before Ireland will be tranquil . O for the sworda of former time , O for the men who bore them ; ' When armed for right , they stood sublime , And tyrants crouched before them . .
