BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS . CASE FROM LUTON , BEDFORDSHIRE , COMMUNICATED BY MR . PHILLIPS , CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST , TO MR T . PROUT , 229 , STRAND , LONDON . Luton , Bedfordshire , Oct . 19 , 1841 . SIR , —I feel desirous of expressing to you the great beaefit which I have received from the use of BlairVGout and RVieunntic Pills . 1 have for several years been afflicted with Rheumatism and Gout , the attacks' of which were excessively 6 evere . During one of these painful visitations a kind friend presented me with a box of Blair ' s Pills , from the use of which I found immediate relief , and very soon entirely recovered . At a subsequent period I was so severely attacked that I thought it would be unwise to delay placing myself Hnder medical care . I did so ; butnqt finding the relief which I expected , I again became my own physician . At this time my legs and thighs were swelled to a very great extent . I immediately procured a box of Blair ' s Pills from Mr . W . Phillips , your agent in this town , and after taking two : doses I was free from pain , and the swelling subsided , I now ne ver fail to use them whenever I am attacked by this painful malady , and they invariably give me relief after oho or two doses . Several of my acquaintanceB use them , and experience the same benefit . I trust you will . insert this among your list of oases , as I am anxious to bear witness to the efficacy of this excellent medicine . I am , Sir , your ' s respectfullyi Richard Stone . Sugar Loaf , London Road , Luton . The never-failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS in curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism , have secured to them a celebrity unequalled by any meclioino of past or present times . They not only give relief ia a few liours , where the patient has been driven nearly to madness by the excruciating tortures of this disease , but restore to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of time . They are equally speedy and certain in rheumatism , either chronic or aroute , lumbago , sciatica , pains in the head or face , and indeed for every rheumatic or gouty , affection , ; in fact , such has been the rapidity , perfect ease , and complete safety of this medicine , that it has astonished all who have taken iti and there is not a city , town , or village in the kingdom , but contains many grateful evidences of its benign influence .

MEDICAL ADVICE . TO THE APFLICTED WITH SCURVY , VENEREAL , OR SYPHILITIC DISEASES , RHEUMATISM , AMD NERVOUS OR SEXUAL DEBILITY . MR , M . WILKINSON , SURGEON , &c . 13 , Trafalgar Street , Leeds . And every Thursday , at No . 4 , George Street , Opposite East Brook Chapel , Bradford , HAVING devoted his studies for many years exclusively to the various diseases Of the generative and nervous system , in the removal of those distressing debilities arising from a secret indulgence in a delusive and destructive habit , and to the successful treatment of VENEREAL AND SYPHILITIC DISEASES , Continues to be consulted from nine in the morning till ten at night , and on Sundays till two , —ana country patients requiring his assistance , by making only # ne personal visit , will receive : such advice and medicines as will enable them to btain a permanent and effectual cure , whea all other means have failed . In recent cases of a certain disorder a perfect cur # is completed in one week , w no charge made for medicine after that period , and in those cases wher « other practititionera hav « failed , a perseverance in his plan , without restraint in diet , or hindrance from business , will ensure to the patient a permanent a » d radical cure . ; It frequently happens that in moments of thoughtlessness a person imbibes a disease where suspicion is least likely to be excited ; this state of security leads to a want of caution whioh aggravates the nature of the complaint . But where immediate application is made , the corroding pois » n ia checked in its infancy , sm » there 4 ere it takes root , and destroyed before its venom can effeot a perceptible appearance in the system .- ^ -Where the disease has been allowed t » exist and remain , the more cause , have we to fear the undermining influence of this poison , aad a mere removal of its external appearance is not to be depended upon ; a thorough cure must be achieved to prevent a xetura . of the disease , and leave the system free from all infection . A complete knowledge of the symptoms and treatment of these insidious and dangerous diseases , can only be acquired by those who are in daily practice , and have previously ^ one through a regular course of Medical Instruction ; for , unfortunately ; there are hundreds who annually fail victims to the ignor rant use of Mercury and other dangerous remedies , administered by illiterate men , who ruin the constitution by suffering disease to get into the system , which being carried by tha circulation of the blood into all parts of the body , the whole frame becomes tainted with venereal poison , and most unhappy consequences ensue , at one time affecting the skin , particularly the head and face , with eruptions and ulcers , closely resembling , and often treated as scurvy , at another period producing the most violent pains in the limbs and bones , which are frequently mistaken for rheumatism ; thus the whole frame becomes debilitated and decayed , and a lingering death puts a period to their dreadful sufferings . What a grief for a young person in the very prime of life , to be snatched out of time , and from all the enjoyments of life , by a disease always local at first , and which never proves fatal if property treated , as all its fatal results are owing either to negleot or ignorance . Mr . W . ' s invariable rule is to give a Card to each of his Patients as a guarantee for Cure , which he pledges himself to perform , or return his fee . For the accommodation of either sex , where distance or delicacy prevents a personal visit , his PURIFYING DROPS , price 4 s . 6 d , can be had of any of the following agents , with printed directions so plain , that they may cure themselves without even the knowledge of a bed-fellow . They are particularly recommended to betaken before persons enter into the matrimonial state , lest the indiscretions ot a parent are the Source of vexation to him the remainder of his existence , by afBioting his innocent but unfortunate offspring wilh the evil eruptions of the malignant tendency , and a variety ot other complaints , that are most assuredly introduced by the same neglect and imprudence .

MOTHERS . ON MOTHERS have depended in all ages the strength and well-being of Empires . Every well regulated state has possessed laws directly subversive # f all that might injure the development of mind , retard the improvement of morals , or been , destructive to the physical beauty of the female form . This feature in good government was not peculiar merely to the independant States of ancient Greece , but stands out in bold relief « pon the pages of Roman history » their statute books being filled with provisions for ennobling the female character ; stamping the hardy race of R * mans as the most philosophical among the learned , the greatest among the free , and best qualified of all others SO give laws to the world . How necessary this was to their success or to the success of any great empire remains to be considered ; and the downfall of each is without doubt traceable to the indifference and negleot with which the rights of their women have been treated . On this subject one of the moat powerful writers of the day has the folUwing : — " The so 3 ial influence ! Of woman will appear more obvious , if we notice a little more in detail the circumstances over which she exercises a direct and almost exclusive control , in the training and education of the individuals of which society is composed . In the first place may be noticed her great influence over the physical well-beiag and happiness of man . It is from the mother that the physical constitution of the human being is chiefly derived , and it more generally partakes of her peculiarities of bodily and mental endowment thaa of the other parent . The healthy structure of the child ' s frame , it need scarcely be said , depends for the most part on the mother . And of how great importance is health to the human being ! Is it not the basis of all moral and mental development , and absolutely indispensable to the enjoyment Of happiness , either of mind or of body 1 Next in value to health of mind , is health of body . Good health is happiness and success , as ill health is misery and defeat id the great struggle of life . The one is the most terrible btf ueathmeat which a parent can give to a child ; the other is an inheritance above all price or purchase , and without which life can never be enjoyed aa it ought to be . " How necessary then is it that mothers should not only study their health but be made acquainted with a safe , cheap , and infallible remedy for the numerous disorders incident to the human frame . As a promoter of health and a remover of physical debility Parr ' s Life Pills stand unparalleled in the history of patent medicines . Tens of thousands among the working and middle classes as well as hundreds among the aristocracy have been cured by their use when all other prescriptions have failed . Cases of extraordinary cures in Leeds as well as elsewhere , are occurring daily , to the truth of which the medicine vendors , Mr . Heaton , Messrs . Bell and Brooke , Mr . Smeeton , Mr . Reinhardt , and Mr . Joshua Hobson , will most gladly testify . The following has just been received from Mr . Heaton : — TotheProprietors ofParr ' s Lift'Pills . " Gentlemen , —I am happy to inform you that we are daily hearing accounts of the good effects of Park ' s Life Pills ; to enumerate the cases wonld be a task too formidable for me , and which has prevented my writing to inform you before , as I can hardly tell where to begin . One man said he wanted a box of Life Pills , fof Life Pills they were to him , they had done him so much good , in relieving him of an obstinate cough and asthma . " Another said they were worth their weight in gold ! as he was not like the same inan since he bad taken them . ¦ :- ¦;¦¦ ¦ : ;¦¦ :: ¦ - ¦ : ¦" > . ¦ - ; :- ; , ' \ ; v . . ; . .. ; "Another said his wif « iiad had a bad leg for years , but after taking one small box , which was recommended by his Class Leader , her leg wa 3 much better , and when she had taken the second box , it was quite as well as the other . l VA very respectable female said her husband had been afflicted abov » two years , and had tried many things , but since ho had taken Parr ' g Life Pills ha was quite a new . man .

" 9 , Crane Court , Fleet-street , London . " Bxtratt of a Letter from Mr . William Hick , ! Northern Star Office , Leeds ; "Leeds , Feb . 22 , 1842 . "Gentlemen , —Your pills are really doing immense good in Leeds ; to particularize cases would be useless , and would occupy too great a space , suffice it to say that one individual who had been long confined to his bed , under the care of a doctor , and propped up with pillows , has been completely restored by taking a few boxes . The pills have been particularly useful to married women afflicted with headache and general debility , as also to some afflicted with every kind of disorder ; and it is worthy of remark , that many talented individuals who have been accustomed to rail at all advertised remedies , now frankly confess to me that Part ' s Life Pills are really a good medioine , and worthy of general adoption , lam Gentlemen , YourB , respectfully , W .

VAXiUABUB WOKKS , Just published , price 2 s . 12 mo . bound in cloth , FIFTEEN LESSONS ON THE ANALOGY 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 this Work , are intended solely 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 useiul , 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 . The 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 , fonnded on a Philosophical Consideration of the Nature of Language , and applicable to all Languages . The necessary Divisions and Subdivisions are rationally accounted for ; and the Principles of Universal Grammar demonstrated , so fully that the meanest capacity may understand them as clearly as it understands that two and two make four . ¦ ¦ ¦' ••¦ . ' : . " . ¦ .. ; ! ' . ; ' ; . , ¦ ¦' . '¦ . ' .. . In Syntax , the formation of the English Language is exclusively consulted , without any unnecessary reference to other Languages . A majority of the numerous Rules given in most Grammars are shown to be little better than a heap of senseless Tautology . The necessary Rules are demonstrated upon rational Principles , and illustrated by a variety of Example . By the Use of this Book and its accompanying Exercises , any person may * in a few weeks , acquire a good knowleage of Grammar Without any of the disgusting 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 , Selected from a 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 the 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 the English language than can be found in somo very elaborate Works . "—Literary Gazette . Also , Price One Shillingy bound in Cloth % PROGRESSIVE EXERCISES , Selected from the best English Authors , and so arranged as to accord with the Progressive Lessons in the foregoing Work , By wm . hill . Also , Price Sixpence , THE GRAMMATICAL TEXT BOOK , for the use of Schools ;; in which the bare naked principles of Grammar , expressed as concisely as possible , are exhibited for the memory .

CHARTIST PILLS . IMPORTANT TO THE AFFLICTED . MR . J . HOBSON , Northern Star Office , Leeds , having accepted the Wholesale and Retail Agenoy of those Pills , is authorised to give Twope » ce out « f each Is . l ^ dBox , to be divided betweea the Executive and the Families of the Imprisoned Chartists . ' " - . ; ¦ '¦ ¦ / . : ¦ -. ¦ : ¦ . . r " ; ' : ' : " ¦ Tke many Medicines lately offered to the publjo would have prevented the proprietor from advertising these Pills ( although convinced of their efficacy ) , did he not feel it kis duty to give his saffeiring fellow Chartists an opportunity ( by their afiiiction ) to forward the cause of Democracy , and assist the families » f their incarcerated brethren . ¦ . , T » no one is health so important as to the Wort iog Mam , when deprived of it his means of subsistance are suspemded and his sufferings aggravated by r « flections « n his poverty , and the helplessness of his family . ¦ These Pills are not put forth as a cure for ail distases , but their use will avert much of the illness usually affecting the Wwking Classes . The Proprietor has witnessed with pleasure their extraordinary efficacy in numerous instances of loss ¦ of appetite , head ache , heart burn , palpitations of the heart , bilious and nervous diseases , pains in the stomach , and other symptoms indicating an imperfect action of the Digestive Organs . To those of sedentary habits whose trades confine them in an unwholesome atmosphere , and perhaps for hours together in a continued posture , thereby inducing habitual costiveness , indigestion , and nerveus debility , they are strongly rewmmended and have been found of essential service , as they enable the system to throw off those morbid accumulations which occasion disease , at the same time strengthening aad giving tone to the stomach , and invigorating the whole system , by these means establishing health ok a firm foundation . Until Agenta are appointed generally , those persons who wish to try them can receive a box , ^ tk ample directions , post-free , by sending One Shilling in silver , and two Postage Stamps , in a pre-paid Letter , t » Mr . J . Hobson , Star Office , Leeds . Applications for Agency will be attended to , and the terms sent by return tf Post , by writing either to Mr . Hobson , or to the Proprietor .

Jehn Murray , a veteran in the cause , was called to the chair , who opened the business by speaking of tbe importance of taking the hall , which might be called in one sense their own , which they would for the future meet in , for the express purpose of advocating their principles . He begged before he sat down to announce that it was their intention to allow , en all occasions .
free discussion , therefore he hoped tbey would give the lecturer a patient and attentive hearing , after which , equal justice should be observed towards any person present , -who might differ in opinion with the lectorer , on anythiag which he might advance . Mr . Ross , -who had been appointed to lecture , then advanced to the front of the platform , amid the applause of the meeting , and observed that he felt especial pleasure at the Excellent remark of their worthy Chairman , in promising that any individual -who might dissent from anything he might advance , should be allowed the opportunity to do so . The lecturer then gave a true but » wful description of the condition of the people , and declared that the people themselves , by Jheir own unity , sobriety , intelligence , and
perseverance , must certainly obtain their emancipation . He felt convinced , that the remedy for the manifoli BVilB nsdei which the people were suffering -was contained only in tbe principles of the People's Charter . Mr . Ross then said , that he had been told that he would injure himself by joining the Chartists ; and signified that -when he saw Mb fellow countrymen starving he Was compelled—in behalf of his own interest , because it was inv&lved in equal representation , —to give his hnmble support to that body of men whom he thought 2 > est calculated to emancipate himself and fellow-men from slavery and political bondage .

Bhowed theimpotency of the League .

The speaker then shewed clearly the artifical and unnatural position of tae people , and strongly denounced a system which put sinewy blood , and bone , to compete -with wood , steam , and iron ; and invoked the powers of G » d—of humanity and just ice , to put an end to it . Ee then shewed clearly that the system fostered and perpetuated ignorance and crime , and thst thousands were victims to it , robbed of their freedom for doing good , and taunted With ignorance , and despised for it by the ^ makers and
rramers of the law , Mr . Ross made some powerful , effective , and cutting allusions to the fate of the patriots Frost , Williams , and Jones , and urged exertions for their restoration . He dwelt at some length on the proud position of the Chartists as a political body , cautioned them against any specious yet deceitful claptrap which Would be started by the factions to lead them from Ihe scent of the Charter agitation , which would , if faithfully adhered to , properly watched , and persevered in , lead them to the goal of liberty .

He manfully enforced the principles of total abstinence ; and explained the resources of Great Britain , the skill and enterprise of her
inhabitants as compared with those of foreign nations . He denounced the parties who exported their sympathy abroad and left none for home consumption— -who would Bive £ 20 , 000 , 000 for the emancipation of slavery abroad , and forget the thousands starving at home . It would be more consistent for them , while they were sending Bibles , parsons , and ~ intelligence abroad , to pay more attention to their fellow-creatures at home . The speaker shewed the consequence of the thousands of people who were , by the sy&em , forced to leave the land of their birth , and described in impressive but thrilling language the light of friends and relations parting at the deck .

20 years ago with their present one , showing how they had beenrobbed of the necessaries and comforts oflife .

Cbaten Head , Drcet Lane . —A public meeting ol the stonemason body was held here on Saturday evening last , at which there was a numerous attendance Mr . M'Donald w&s called to the chair , and briefly addressed his brother tradesmen . Jlr . Bairstow , delegate to the Convention from the Midland Counties , then addressed the meeting in his usual energetic , and eloquent manner , pointing out to them the evils of the present system of Government , and the necessity which existed for a change . The aristocracy of this country had wrung thair wealth from the heart ' s blood of the working classes of this kingdom , and had squandered
away that wealth in crushing the liberties of their fellow-men . He was surprised at the infatuation of his fellow-men , who had so long supported this wretched system ; but this surprise -vanished -when he reflected on the length of time that the aristocracy had wielded the power and the resources of the nation . But he was proud to state that the aristocratic feeling that once existed was fast disappearing : among the working classes , scarce a man could be found to advocate the cause of Toryism ; if he did , you would find him stuck behind an ale bench , with a pipe in his mouth aa black as ebony , or ensconced in some snug parlour
singing— " Britons never will be slaves . " Few will , in this day of advanced intelligence , be found to invite the lash which lacerates the flesh . The men that would ad vecate the cause of Toryism were not men ; they were things : they were not composed of mind , but of matter ; one sound sterling democrat , was worth 100 , 000 such men . Chartism had flourished to a degree that Mras unexampled -within these few years . He "was but a young man , but he was travelling through the North of England at the time of the unfortunate affair at Newport ; then a universal gloom came over the prospects of Chartism ; despondency had darkened into despair ; 35 i of their bravest men were immured in dungeons , not a publican dare open to them , for fear of bis license ; not a private place or a conventicle could they procure to meet in ; they were as completely put under the ban of excommunication , as though the Pope from the Yatican had thundered forth his
denunciations against them ; the Whigs gloried in the posture of affairs—they boasted they had put down Chartism ; alas for Whiggery , how has its crest fallen ! Since then we have plucked every laurel from its browa ; we have consigned it to a grave of infamy and despair , and if it has had its last death blow , I am proud that I have lent a helping hand in sending it to its last home . I know that for my conduct at the last Nottingham election and at the general election I have increased the hatred of the Whigs . I am well aware that their vile and venial press po-ared forth the fnil tide of its venom against me , that I W 3 S everywhere denounced by the middle classes as the " Tory Bairstow , " but I care not for this , for I know that my condnct secured the applause of my Chartist brethren , and advanced the interest of that cause to which his heart , yea and life was
willing to be rendered a sacrifice . If we have now got a strong Government , we are not deceived in them . We know the flag under which they fight—we are acquainted with their tactics , they are an open foe , and are less to be dreaded than a pretended friend , who win stab you in the dark ; we have them in our front and not at our side , treacherously striving to delude us . We know Toryism of old—we know its avowed object—we have only to look to the page of history to conjure up the bloated Cerberu 3 of Toryism ; it is a monster that cannot exist in the light of the sun , that will not endure ' a ray from the lamp of reason ; it can only exist when the mind is in worse than Egyptian darkness ; the day of Toryism is over in England ; it only exists in a remnant of the aristocracy and in their time-serving , menial slaves . He had ever counselled his fellow men to
throw aside the slavish doctrine of humility preached by a time-serving class of priests . Consider yourselves as men , equal with your fellow men . Tbey tell you that the aristocracy have been born to govern , and yen to obey ; that it was ordained by Providence that you should crawl and like spaniels lick the feet of those who spurn you . Not content with the power of the laws and of the magistrates . they tell you of an ever-burning gulf over which you will be suspended for ever if you dispute their mandates ; and by means like these the state priests have ever aided the cause of despotism , have crushed the native intellectual dignity of man and reduced him to a serf and a slave ; but hs congratulated them that this feeling was fast dying away , that the inherent right of kings and governors was become not only a matter of aceptism , but of ridicule and contempt ; and before the spread of information which was now so mightily advancing , these baubles would disappear like mists before the rising sun ;
union alone has given rise to the power of the aristocracy , and once let us unite , let as make the National Charter Association the Polar star of our attract ion , and we shall be able to repel all the efforts of our enemies , as the knotted oak which stands firm before the passing tempest , or as the mighty rock which dashes into their spray the waves which beats against it . If the working classes knew their own power the present system would not stand forty-eight hours . Mr . Bairstow then showed the necessity of the trades uniting for the Charter , Ehowing the facilities they had for that purpose , and concluded a Jong and powerful adddress by exhorting them to rally round the Convention and to master in all their strength and majesty on the day of the presentation , and make it such a day as London had never before seen . Mr . Baiistow then sat down tremendously applauded . Mr . Scott moved and Mr . J . Hogg seconded a vote of fTm-nVa to the lecturer , and the meeting concluded .
Westminster . —A public meeting was held at the Theatre , Tork-street , Westminster , on Friday evening . Mr . Wheeler was unanimously called to tbe chair and briefly addressed the meeting . Mr .

" Mr . Sculthorpe seconded the resolution , which was supported in a leng , energetic , and eloquent address by Mr . Tbomason , delegate to the Convention , in which he held up in their true colours the great political and social evils which afflict society , and recommended in the most urgent manner theTiecessity of union and firmness in the ChartiBt ranks . During the whole of his address , he was loudly cheered . The
resolution on being put , was earned unanimously . Mr . J . Dowliag moved , and Mr . Eivey seconded , the next resolution , " That this meeting is of opinion that the Convention of the Jfationa ] Charter Association deserves the support of all who are convinced that the principles propounded in the People's Charter are the only means of ensuring the pelitical salvation of the working classes of society . " Mr . M'Pherson , delegate to the Convention frcm Aberdeen , ably supported the resolution , shewing to them that if the Convention "was not backed up by their countenance and support , its labours on tiieir behalf would be useless . The resolution was then put to the meeting and nnanimensly carried .

Poplar . —A public meeting was held at the Angel Inn , High-street , Poplar , which was crowded to excess . Dr . Bowker was unanimously called to the chair . Mr . Frazer , in a long and eloquent address , moved the following resolution : — " That this meeting viaws with alarm the present unparalleled distress which pervades the length and breadth of the land , falling with accumulated force on the producing and humbler trading classes , and that as their privations do not originate from their immorality or indolence , they being the most virtuous and industrious classes in the community , but from circumstances over which they can exercise no controul , resulting from classlegislation ; this empire never can experience happiness or prosperity until all classes are represented in tae legislature of thia country , by what is termed the lower House of Parliament becoming in reality , what it is in name only , the focus of the popular wilL" The
resolution was seconded , in an energetic address , by Mr . Bairstow , delegate to tbe Convention from the midland counties . The resolution was put and carried unanimously . Mr . Duffield moved , and Mr . Thomason , delegate from Dumbartonshire , Beconded the following resolution-. — " That this meeting , taking into consideration the various remedies proposed for alleviating the present distress and misery under which , the country suffers , is of opinion that any measure short of the document entitled « The People's Charter , ' must prove ineffective in carrying out the foregoing resolution .
