This is to certify that I , Arthur Harris , of Wincolmlee , Hull , sawyer , have been for many yeara subject to frequent attacks of severe rheumatism , and never found much relief from medicine until I took , from recommendation , your valuable Pills , which not only afforded me relief but wrought a caw . AfiTHtra Hahkis . To Mr . Geo . Kerman , chemist and druggiBt , Hull . You may advertise the cure your medicine haa wrought in my case as much as you please . My case was this ; I was a labonrer in Wincolmlee , and was attacked with rheumatism in consequence of having unthinkingly , while at work , pulled off a Becond pair of trowsere which I had worn as drawers . I was j seized -with violent pains all over me , which ultij mateJy settled into a violent racking pain ia the hip \ joint . I had three doctors one after another and j used willingly all the means they coold derise withj out benefit . On my wife ' s asking the last one what j he thought to my case , he replied , " Why these cases i seldom get better f meaning that it was likely to j cost me my life . I had so many blisters on one after another that they created a large wound . At the time I commenced taking your medicice , it would ; have taken me most of half an hour to turn round in bed ; and in ten er twelve days I was able to call on you at your own shop- I was really free from 1 pain after taking your medicine three days ; and , indeed , I think sooner than that , a shall be glad to tell any body all particolara abont it .

Phalet . j I , Samuel Mandum , of U pfce * Union-street , Hull , ! ahipcarpenter , being asked to « ive a certificate of the core performed by the medicine I was furniBhed with from Mr . G . Kerman , chesiist , I hesitate not for a moment to state that I had a speedy cure of an old standing case of rheumatism . Subsequent to this I had a friend , a person quite is years , who was f attacked with this painful affection . I recommended him to try Mr .

THE CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM . Is a gentlestimulant and renovator of the impaired functions of life , and is exclusively directed to the cure of the Generative System , whether constitutional er acquired , loss of sexual power , and debility ' arisiDg from Syphilitic disease ; and is calculated to afford decided relief to those who , by early indulgence in solitary habits , Have weakened the powers of their Bystem , and fallen into a state of chronic debility ; by which the constitution is left in a deplorable state , and that nervous mentality kept ; ap which places the individual in a state of anxiety for the remainder of life . The consequences arising from this dangerous practice j are not confined to it& pure physical result , but branch to moral ones ; leading the excited deviating mind into a fertile field of seducive error , — into agradua \ but total degradation of manhood—into a pernicious application of these inherent rights which nature wisely instituted for the preservation of her species ; bringing on premature decripitude , and all the habitudes of old age : —such a one carries with him the form and aspect of other men , but without tht vigour and energy of that season which his early youth bade him hope to attain . How many men cease to be men , or , at least , cease to enjoy manhood at thirty f How many at eighteen receive the impression of the seeds of Syphilitic disease itself ? the consequences of which travel out of the ordinary track of bodily ailment , covering the frame with disgusting evidence of its ruthless nature , and impregnating the wholesome stream of life with mortal poison ¦ conveying into families the seeds of disunion and unhappiness ; undermining domestic harmony ; and striking at the very soul of human intercourse . The fearfully abused powers of the humane Generative System require the most cautious preservation ; and the debility and disease resulting from early indiscretion demand , for the care of those dreadful evils , that such medicine should be employed that is most certain to be successful . It is for these cases-Messrs . Perry and Co ., particularly designed their CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM which is intended to relieve those persons , who , by an immoderate indulgence of their passions , have ruined their constitutions , or in their way to the consummation of that deplorable state , are affected : with any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach , as trie various affections of the nervous system , obstinate gleetB , excesses , irregularity , obstructions of certain evacuations , weakness , total impotency , barrenness , &c . As nothing can be better adapted to help and nourish the constitution , so there is nothing more generally acknowledged to be peculiarly efficacious in all inward wastings , loss of appetite , indigestion ; depression of spirits , trembling or shaking of the hands or limbs , obstinate coughs , shortness of breath , or consumptive habits . It possesses wonderful efficacy in all cases of syphilis , fits , head-ache , weakness , heaviness , and lowhess of spirits , dimness of sfght , confused thoughts , wandering of the mind , vapours , and melancholy ; and all kinds of hysteric complaints are gradually removed by its use . And even where the disease of Sterility appears to have taken the firmest hold of the female constitution , the softening tonic qualities of the Cordial Balm of Syriacum will warm and purify the blood and-juices j increase the animal spirits , invigorate and revive the wholo animal machine , and remove the usual impediment to maturity . This medicine is particularly recommended to be taken before persons enter into the Matrimonial State , lest in the event of procreation occurring , the innocent offspring should bear enstamped upon it the physical characters derivable from parental debility , or evil eruptions of a malignant tendency , that are most assuredly introduced by the same neglect and imprudence . Sold in Bottles , price lls . each , or the quantity , of four in one Family bottle for 33 s ., by which one lls . bottle is saved . ; Prepared only by Messrs .

PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS , Price 2 s . 9 d ., 4 a . 6 d ., and lls . per box , ( Observe the signature of R . and L .

They have effected the most surprising cures , not only in recent and severe cases , but when salivation and all other means have failed ; and are of the utmost importance to those afflicted with Scorbutic Affections , Eruptions on any part of the body , Ulcerations , Scrofulous or Venereal Taint , being justly calculated to cleanse the blood from all foulness , counteract every morbid affeotion , and restore weak and emaciated constitutions t » pristine health and vigour . It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to this horrid disease , owing to the uuskUfulness of illiterate men ; who by the use of that deadly poison , mercury , ruin the constitution , causing ulcfcrations , blotohes on _ the head , face , and body , dimness of sight , noise in . the ears , deafness , obstinate gleets , Hodes on the shin bones , ulcerated eore throat , diseased nose , with nocturnal pains in the head and limbs , till at length a general debility of the constitution eneuesi and a melanchol y death puts a period t « their dreadful sufferings .

LETTER FROM MR . WM . HICK , oN 0 RTHERN STAR OFFICE , LEEDS . " Northern Star Office , Leeds , March 17 th , 1842 . Cf / "I entlemen , —You will oblige by forwarding , at AT your earliest convenience , the same quantity of PARR ' S LIFE PILLS as last sent . While I am writing I cannot refrain from communicatiDg-the flittering intelhgence of the groat good your pills ar « doing in Leeds and its neighbourhood . It is clearly a . great error to find fault with a medicine merely because it is a patent one ; and more especially since Us use has contributed so largely to the public health . The fact is , 'however , predjudice is fast giving way , as it always must where the pills are . tried . A few cases in point may serve to confirm and illustrate what I have asserted . " A young female came into the shop to-day for a box , who stated that they had done her immense good . She had been troubled with a hoarseness so bad that no one could hear her speak ; but U&viuft taken » few boxes of PARR'S LIFE PILLS , sha was completely restored * as was evident by the way shospoke .: ; ' ¦ ' ; ; ¦ : " Very many cases of extraordinary cures have occurred amung the aged workpeople * , both oiale and female . In one mill , an aged couple , enfeebled by disease and debilitated by premature old age , had become almost past work ; they were persuaded to try a few boxes of PARR'S LIFE PILLS , and in a week were restored and strengthened that they could pursue their employment with pleasure and profit : so much to , that from being unable to work at their calling more than two days in the week , aod this with great physical difficulty and languor , they , can now not only do a full week ' s work , but over * hours besides . Bad as trade is here , the old people beiug faVouritea with the mill owni ^ r , are ^ enabled to get as much employment as they can do , which has excited the envy of those younger persons who had been employed in their absence ; and it is a laughable fact , that Parr ' s PUIb come in for a share ef their rancour . The old people continue to take the pills regularly in small quantities , and find them as necessary to their health and prosperity as their daily food , : . ; ¦• . ¦ : ' ¦ , : . : ¦ ¦ . : ¦ ,. ¦ .. ¦"¦ - . ' ; ¦ . .. ¦ ¦ . ¦ ¦ : ¦ . ' ¦¦ . " The next and last case which I shall mention at this time , is one of a most extraordinary nature . I have not seen the individual myself , but I shall give you the fact as I have received it from his employer , and front Mr . J . Hobson , who has frequently seen him since his convalesence . The man : is a working meohanio and had epeat about thirty pounds last year on the doctor , in going to the Isle of Man and other places , for the benofit of his health , but to no purposo . His food had consisted for a long time of nothing but rice milk , the stomach refusing to take anything stronger . His body was greatly emaciated and his temporal prospects clouded ; with a mind filled With melancholy forebodings for the future , he returned to his friends at Leeds , where he was told by his medical adviser that should he be restored a little , his disorder would have its periodical return ; but being advised to try PARR'S LIFE PILLS , be bought a few boxes , which have completely removed his disease , and enabled him to return to his work , where he was seen a few days ago by Mr . Hobson , ( it being dinner hour ) eating beef-steaks with great gusto ; and to whom he recited with pleasure and gratitude the cause of his then healthy condition , together with a long history of his past afiliction "Should the above three cases of cures be worthy of your notice , you are at perfect , liberty to make what use of them yon think proper .

" Gentlemeri i —I have the utmost pleasure in forwarding you this my own case of cure , effected solely by the persevering use of your Pabr'b Life Pills . Before having recourse to them , I had been for upwards of five years afflicted with a moat distressing malady , which the different medical men who attended me all pronounced to be a serious case of hydrocele ( or dropsy of the scrotum ) , and declared there was no other chunce of either relief or oure than undergoing a surgical operation . I was thus driven almost to despair ; and coasulted the treatise written by Sir Aetley Cooper , wherein he states that the operation is generally attended with considerable danger . I therefore determined not to risk so painful and uncertain an experiment , but rather chose to leave the result to nature and Providence . Fortunately , I heard of the great fame of Pakh'b Life Pills , and resolved to give them a fair trial . I consequently took them for some time without perceiving any benefit , but still kept persevering ; and I have now taken twelve boxes , and to my great jOy I am perfectly well , the dropsy iB entirely removed , together with a scorbudo affection , which I had been much troubled with since my return from India in 1827 ; and now there is not a vestige of disease left in my whole system , as I am now in better health and spirits than I have been for fourteen years . I feel certain you would have accounts of far more cures , if people would persevere in the use of the pills a proper length of time , as I have done . I give you my heartfelt thanks , and authority to publish this letter , and will gladly answer any applications either personally or by letter , and remain your grateful and obliged servant . ; ¦ ¦ - . ¦ : ¦ ¦ ' ; ' j . :: ¦ <¦!¦ - -- ;¦ ¦ . ¦ .

" The various forms of bodily and mental weakness inc&pacity , Enffering and disease , faithfully delineated in this cautiously written and practical work , are almost unknown , generally misunderstood , and treated upon principles correspondingly erroneous and superficial , by the present race of medical practitioners . Hence the necessity for the publication of a timely safeguard , a silent yet friendly monitor , or where debility has' made threatening inroads , the means of escape and the certainty of restoration . The evils to which the book adverts aro extensive and identical in their secret ynd hidden origin , and there are none to whom , as Parents , Guardians , Heads of Families , and especially of public Schools , is confided the care of young people , who ought to remain for a moment devoid of that information and those salutary eaations thia work is intended to convey . Not only are the moBt delicate forma of generative debility neglected by the family physician , but they require for their safe management the exelusive etndy of a life entirely abstracted from the routine of general praotice , and ( as in other departments of the profession ) attentively concentrated ia the daily and long continued observatiou requisite for the correct treatment of sexual infirmities . " If we consider the topics upon either in a moral or social view , we find tbe interests and welfare ot mankind serionBly involved . The effects of licentious , indiscriminate and secret indulgence in certain practices , are described with an accuracy and force which display at once profound reflection and extensive practical experience . " —The Planet . "The best of all friends is the Professional Friend : and in no shape oan he be consulted with greater safety and secrecy than in " Lucas on Manly Vigour . " The initiation into vicious indulgenceits progress—its results in both sexes , are given with faithful , bat alas ! for human nature , with afflicting truth . However , the Authors have not exposed the evil without affording a remedy . It shows how " Manly Vigour" temporarily impaired , and mental and physical emasculation , produced by uncontrolled indulgence of the passions , can be restored ; how the sufferer , who has pined in anguish from the consequences of early indiscretion—afraid almost to encounter his fellow man , can regain the vigour of health and moral courage . The work is written in a concise and perspicuous style , displaying how often fond parents aredeceivedby the outward physical appearance of their youthful offspring ; howtheattenuationofthe frame , palpitationof the heart , derangement of the nervous system , cough , indigestion , and a train of symptoms indicative of consumption or general decay , are often ascribed to wrong causes ; and instead of being the natural results of congenital debility or disease , are tbe consequences of an alluring and pernicious practice , alike destructive to the mind and body . "—Belt ' s New Weekly Messenger . " Although a newspaper is not the ordinary channel for the expression of opinion upon the merits of a medical work , this remark ib open to exception in any instance where the publio , and not the isolated and exclusive members of the profession , are the parties addressed . Upon that which is directed to men indiscriminately , the world will form its own opinion , and -will demand that medieal works for popular study should be devoid of that mysterious technicality in which the science of medicine has hitherto shrouded its own ignorance . The work before us treats of subjects we believe generally , yet very strangely , neglected by the medical attendant , and requiring doubtlessly ( as in operative midwifery aad the surgery of the eye ) an entire devotedncss to a deeply important branch of study . The tone of this book is highly moral , and it abounds in wellwritten , harrowing , yet correct displays of the suffering consequent upon unbridled sensualism . No human being can be the worse for its perusal ; to ¦ multitudes it must prove a warning beacon , a welltold appeal to reason , a permanent bltssing . It is written in a clear intelligible style , and is evidently , the production of a mind long and practically conversant with tbe diseases of the most delicate division of the human organization . " —The Magnet . "The security of happiness in the mabbiage state is the chief anxiety of all ; but many dread entering upon wedded union , through a secret fear of unfitness for the discharge of matrimonial obligations . This essay is most particularly addressed to all suffering under a despondency of the character alluded to ; and advice will be found calculated to cheer the drooping heart , and point the way to renovated health .

WABRIKGTON . —Having had J . S Buckingham , Eeq . of tbe Great league , lecturing us en the repeal and «• fifty thousand questions , ' we placarded the town , announcing Mr . Dickinson to lecture on Sunday in the afternoon , on the People ' s Wrongs and the People ' s Remedy ; and at half-post six in the evening on the Com Laws and League Fallacies . The afternoon lecture wa 3 well attended ; and although the lecturer was labouring under a severe cold , he made a deep and lasting impression on the minds of the audience . At ball-past six in the evening , our room was crammed , ¦ tain , and alL A working man was called upen to preside , who , in a brief speech , introduced the lecturer , who commenced advising his audience to bold b&ck thtir convictions , and stick as tight to their prejudices as they could ; he would have them in spite of ail their poet impressions , and in defiance of the pleasing fallacies , that BelSsb men and their hirelings throw out to ensnare the unwary : and this transformation should
be performed by tbe magic trand of truth and stubborn Fact alone , for let truth and error grapple , and in a tail and open encounter we have no occasion to fear the bane . " In my address to you , " said be , " I have no party purpose to serve ; for the measures I advocate will benefit all men , ao matter what title they may bear , or what station in life they may filL 1 wish to unite the broken pieces of society . I wish to heal tbeix wounds and win my way to the hearts and Bricds of men by appealing to . their reckoning powers , and not to their prejudices and passions ; for that by which a better Mtata of things mast be accomplished is . not the sinewy arm , or the clumsy cudgel , or the sharp sword . Ho ; such weapons are only worthy of man in a state of wild savage barbarism , when he tried to out do the wrage tribes » f the forest and acted the part of the tiger .

The lecturer then introduced the subject of bis lectnre , took up the arguments of the Free Traders one by one , sid showed the difference between "Free Trade' * and "Fair Trade ;'" and replied to the assertion'that tbe continental states would take , off their tariffs when we took off cur i » port duty . " More work , more wages , " was the next fallacy examined , and the lecturer , proved
that the reverse had always been the fact " Extension of Trade , ** Extension of Distress" Extension if crime , '' " extension of disease , " "extension of death , " more trade , " "moreoastnes , "" moraprison « , "" mcre hospitals , " " mere graves . " The effect produced by Dickin-800 * * happy picture of John SaHes , Esq . the great manufacturer , and his three daughters , was a clencher ; and although it was Sunday , we could not refrain the meeting from giving a hearty round of applause . We can give only a faint outline of the argumentative discourse , and the hearty blow * dealt at the various sophisms put forth . " Some got a douc&f and some got a elaw ; " and I believe there were only three men to the assembly who were not convinced , and those "Were our fat deputy constable and two of ' -fifa lobsters ,
who atoed there from the beginning . Afterthe lectnre "was concluded , a vote of thanks was passed to the lecturer , wbo promised to giro us another lecture on Thursday evening . Subject , " The Triumph of Chartism . * As Mr . Dickhsson was passing the deputy on his way out , he said , " Well , old gentleman , how do 70 a like tha discourse ? " to which the deputy said , * 'he had nothing to say against it ; bat ' he should always attend with his men whenever " there was a lecture . " Tbe police force had orders to cut a placard from the wall announcing the lectures , and have taken it to the ' police-office . On Thursday , evening , the attendance was more
and more mvnexovts , mssj had to go away without an opportunity of hearing the lecture . The room and stairs were crammed to suffocation . The police were there in full bloom . At eight the lecturer entered the room amidst the cheers of our friends as . d gsvs us a lecture on the triumph of Chartism , it wu a complete triumph for na ; for after the lecture , which lasted nearly two hours , we enrolled sixteen new members ; and aome of our old members who had left ub at the time of the riots , came forward and joined us once more .

He had spent his money in their cause , had suffered imprisonment , and was prepared to sacrifice Brest life itself for them . He had made them what
they now were—a terror to faetioi ! He had . taucbt that which they never knew before—that the upper orders of society were their enemies . He was not what the upper orders represented him to be—a man who would divide property . No , his only object was the protection of labour Ee ( the chairman ) L-elk-ved F .
