THE ; SPINAL COMPLAINT . rpHERE is hardly a single complaint amongst the X Hundreds ! to which the Human Frame is liable so distressing and fo prostrating as Affection of the Spine ; and there is hardly another complaint so difficult of cure . jThe discoverer of aa almost unfailing Remedy may therefore safely be said to confer a boon upon his species ; and this Remedial Boon is j proved by extensive experience to have been discovered by the ( proprietor of HAIGH'S SPINAL O 1 NTMEMT . Some of the Cases of Cure effected by it arc beyond belief ; and , wore not the parties living , aad perfectly willing , nay , anxiously ready to be referred to , and to testify to the wonderful benefits they have received , the Proprietor of the Ointment dare not mention themi for fear of being charged with an attempt to practise upon the credulity of the public . The parties , however , are living ; they can bo referred to ; and their testimony is of the b . ij * h . est importance to all [ afflicted with Spinal affection . The efficacy ! of this invaluable Restorative has j been again most abundantly demonstrated in the following two cases of cures effected within the last month . The names aad addresses of the parties are given ; and to the parties themselves are the sceptical Mr . Haigh submits tbe following , cases of Cure to the notice of the Public : — The wife of Mr . John Smith , woollen-draper , High-street , Qldham , had been afflicted with the Spinal Complaint , and unable to attend to her family for majay years . By using Haigh ' s Spinal Ointment for a few weekB , Bhe was able to . do her home work , and by continuing its use I e * a few mouths longer eke was completely restored ,, aad is now quite healthy . Mrs . Riley , Threadneedle-street , Hsddersfield , had been afflicted with tbe above painful affection for two years ; It was with the greatest difficulty that she could manage to cross the house floor . By the use of a few boxe 3 of Haigh ' s Spinal Ointment , she was perfectly ! cured , and is now enjoying good health . . Robert Jameson ^ weaver , of Ktrkheaton , near HuddeTsfield , suffered under the Spinal Complaint fur a long period , being unable to follow his employment , auci sabj ^ Rt to severe pain . By using four boxar of Haigli ' s Spinal Ointment he was completely ; cured , and is uqw fully a We to follow hia employ-] ment . ; :

Mrs . Rayner , ' of the Dartmouth Arm ? , Morloy was severely afflicted with a pain in the back for a long time , being scarcely able to walk . By using a quantity of Haigh ' s Sp i ^ A Oin t men she was restored to health , and cau' now walk with the greatea ease . The above cases are only a wwout of many , which might be adduced to show the wonderlful influence of Haigh ' s Spinal Ointment ; and , as the name and address of each individual is given above , Mr . Haigh hopes that parties who may be inclined to doubt the facts above Btated , will be at the trouble of addressing a letter , or calling on any of the above individuals , any one of whom will give them the particulars of their respective Cures . The Ointment ; is Sold in Boxes at 2 s , 9 i . each , by the Proprietor , Crossland Buildings , Paddock , near Huddersfield ; and Joshua Hobson , 5 , Market-street , Leeds .

LETTER FROM MR . WM . HICK , NORTHERN STAR OFFICE , LEEDS '' Northern Star Office , Leeds , March 17 th , 1842 . CCp entlemen , —You will oblige by forwarding , at IX your earliest convenience , thesame quantity of PARR'S LIFE PILLS as last sent . While I am writing I cannot refrain from communicating the nattering intelligence of the groat good your pills are 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 its use has contributed so largely to the publio 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 having taken a few boxes of PARR'S LIFE PILLS , she was completely restored , as was evident by the way she spoke . "Very many case of extraordinary cures hava occurred among the aged workpeople , both male 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 ia a week were restored and strengthened that they could pursue their employment with pleasure and profit ; so much t . o , that from being unable to work at their calling more than two days in the week , and this with great physical difficultyandlangp . br , they can now not only do a full week ' s work , but overhours besides . Bad as trade is here , the old people being favourites with the mill owner , 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 Pills come in for a -sh&re . df 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 faot as I have received it from his employers and from Mr . J . Hobson , who has frequently seen him since his convalesence . The man is a working mechanic and had spent about thirty pounds last year on the doctor , in going to the Isle of Man and other places , for the benefit of his health , buirto no . purpose . 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 . -waaj . told by his medicaladviser that should he be restored a little , his disorder would have its periodical return ; but being advised to try PARR'S LIFE PILLS , he bought a few boxea * which have completely removed his disease , and enabled him to return to his work , whero he was seen a few days ago by Mr . Hobson , ( it being dinner hour ) eating beef-steaka 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 affliction " Should the above three cases of cures be worthy of your notice , you are at perfect liberty to make what use of them you think proper . I am , Gentlemen , yours , respectfully , "WILLIAM HICK . To Messrs . T . Roberta and Co ., 9 , Crane Court Fleet-street , London . " MIRACULOUS CORK FROM THB OSE OF PABB ' S LIFB FILLS . Copy of a Letter just received by the Proprietors from Mr . Wm . Moat , 3 , Cobbett-street , Shaw ' a Brow , Salford . " To the Proprietors of Parr ' s Life Pills . " Gentlemen , —I have the utmost pleasure in forwarding you this my own case of cure , effected solely by the persevering use of your Pake ' s Life Pills . Before having recourse to them , I had been for upwards of five years afflicted with a most 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 chance of either relief or cure than undergoing a surgical operation . I was thus driven almost to despair ; and coBsult-ed the treatise written by Sir Astley 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 Pass ' s 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 is entirely removed , together with a scorbutic 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 . ( Signed ) " W . MOAT . * ' Witness—John Hough , Cheadle , carrier . « Manchester , Feb . 7 , 1842 . " FROM MB . HEATON , B 00 KSEM . EB , LEEDS , " To the Proprietors of Parr ' s Life Pills . » " Gentlemen , —fam happy to inform yon that we are daily hearing accounts of the good < effects of Pabr ' s Life Pills ; to enumerate the cas es world be a task too formidable for me , and whic ?

" A very respectable female 6 as dher husband had been afflicted above two years i nd had tried many things , but since he had takea Parr ' s Lips Pills he was quite a new man .

MINERS' NATIONAL CONFERENCE , NEWCASTLE . WEDNESDAY MORNING'S SITTING . Mr . Thomas Wakinshaw having taken the cbair , and Mr . Tulip the vice-chair , the Secretary read the minutes of the previous meeting , which were confirmed . The Chairman then , referring to the programme , said the next business was to hear an account of the labours of the lecturers now present , and called upon Mr . John Hunter for that purpose . Mr . Hunter gave an account of Ms labours in Cumberland , and of the suceesa he met with in that district ,
which was highly gratifying , notwithstanding the low mean schemes resorted to by the owners and their lacqueys to frustrate the attempts at getting the men to unite in that county . The success of the society in that quarter had been beyond their most sanguine expectation . The men were beginning to tbink that it surely must be a benefit for them to join the society ; or else tbe masters would not take such trouble in attempting to prevent its progress ; and many who etherwise perhaps never would have joined had come forward on that account .
A Delegate proposed that the statemeBt now made by Mr . Hunter be deemed highly satisfactory . Agreed ; to . Mr . Swallow was next called upon to give a statement of the state of the society in North Staffordshire , which was highly gratifying . Mr . S . said that in the first fortnight after be had gone there , from Lancashire , he enrolled 469 Members ; and in the five weeks which he had been there he had enrolled l , 50 tt names , all of wBom saw tbe matter in its true light , and had pledged themselves to carry oat tbe objects of tbe Association . The statement of Mr . Swallow , was ilikewise \ Jeemed satisfactory . A letter was then read from South Wingate Colliery , complaining of tbe means resorted to to reduce the men's wages there .
Mr . Wm . Thomason gave an account of the state of the Miners' Association in South Stafford , which was likewise very promising ; and a delegate proposed that the statement which Mr . Thomason has now lead from a local paper be inserted in tbe Miners' Journal . Mr . Septimus Davis gave an account of his labours in Yorkshire , since he left Newcastle , which be was happy to say bad been crowned with much more success than he could be justified in expecting on bis first arrival there . Mr . D . described tbe attempts made by a certain elique of Free Traders to entrap tbe Miners of Yorkshire into an advocacy of their nostrums , under a promise that they , in return , would assist them in proearing the objects of the Society ; bat tbe Yorksbire Colliers Were too wide awake—they -were too old to be caught with chaff ; and they now confine themselves to the objects of the Union , and were getting on quite gloriously .
A Delegate proposed " That the statement of Mr . Davis be deemed satisfactory . " Agreed to . Mr . . Hammond was called on give an account of the state of tbe society i : i Scotland . Mr . H . said he believed there was more abject poverty among the colliers of tbe Lotbians than in any other part of the world that he bad heard tell of , and men were afraid to take a prominent part in its removal , Tbe failure of post partial attempts to better the condition of the Scotch colliers made them timid . Many of them were intelligent me-n , and know that a general union of their order throughout the United Kingdom would be more effectual in removing their insupportable grievances than any local attempts they have hitherto made . Mr . H . said they had to work eight hours for Is . 6 d . per day . The coals they hewed were of three
classes , —large , small , and dross ; they were not allowed any pay for the dross ; and it not unfrequently happened that the large was classed small , and tbe small classed droBS ; and they were robbed in this way ; besides having to pay bo much per week for a doctor , and so much for a schoolmaster , out of the miserable pittance left . The Scotch Bonds were abominable . He had seen so 3 i 3 of them which authorised the owner to discbarge his bound collier , when be liked , by giving him fourteen dajs notice ; and empowering the master to fine him 53 . per day for every day , or part of a day , which be stopped in his house , after the expiration of the fourteen days . Mr . H . then described , the bad state of ventilation so injurious to health , and so dangerous to life ; be like-wise described the truck system , with which they were borne down to the very ground . Sir . Daniellssaid it would be only wasting the precious time of the Conference in him to give his statements

# Mr * Henry Dennet was called upon to give an account of the oeietym Lancashire , which was very gratifying , He . gave an account of the schemes resorted to by the mastem and their minions to break up the society in Lancashire , but they had failed . Some of the masters sent for bread and cheese and ale to treat the men , but they could not Induce them to desert their colours . ¦ Mr . Swallow enumerated the great good done by the strict observance of the restriction question in Lanca-! nL «* i 167 ^ Pknty of work and tbBre was a grea t likelihood of amicable agreements being com < 5 to between men and masters , as tbe wages were advanced a little already , and hopes entertained of a further advance . A delegate proposed that the statement respecting Lancashire by Mr . Dennet , &c , is highly satisfactory .
Mr . Dtviaon , from North Watea , gave an account of the progress of Union in that prinoipaUfcy . He said he had been there six weeks before any progress worthspeaking of was made ; but he felt great pleasure in stating that such was not the case now . There were between two and three thousand cards and rules disposed of ; and he made no doubt but in a very short time there would be few Miners of any description out of the society . Mr . ; D . went on to describe the Tmck System there , and the advantages taken of the operative Colliers by the butties , who , although they did little , often bad to draw from £ 20 to £ 25 at the quarters end , although furnished weekly with Truck to the amount of fifteeen or sixteen shillings ; whereas the poor Collier is only getting from seven to nine shillings truck of this kind weekly out of the store , merely to keep aoul and body together , and was often in debt at the end of the quarter .
The report of Mr . Daviscn waa deemed satisfactory , and it was agreed that a reasonable sum sfaeuld be granted to Mr . D ^ vison to defray his expences from North Walea to Newcastle out of the general fund , but that for tbe future no lecturer be allowed his expences for visiting his family / unless previous arrangements are made with tbe Executive to that effect A discussion respecting the proper time to hold the next Conference took place , when it was agreed to be holden on the 1 st of January , 1844 , at Manchester , as formerly agreed to . The Committee entered tbe room with the plan for the guidance of all lecturers for the society , and having handed a programme of tbeir arrangements to the Chairman , he read the first recommendation , which after being discussed at some length was adopted , namely : —
1 . Recommended that the lecturers be liable to be removed , and that they remain no longer than six months in one county . 2 . That the term of removal be determined by ; tbe official correspondence which the Executive may receive from the county or district in which tbe lecturer bas laboured . 3 . That the number of lecturers be proportionate to the size of the county and the wants of the places situated therein * to be under the surveilonce of the Executive . 4 . That no lecturer of this society be allowed to mix polities with his addresses whilst agitating for the society ; but that they be required to urge tbe necessity of a strict observance of the restriction question . 5 .

A lengthy diucussion took pl * co respecting a strike , when it was ultimately agreed " That the further consideration of that subject be deferred until tbe next Conference ; and that in tbe meantime eacb colliery be required to make out a true statement of their grievances , lay the same before tbeir employers , and if no redress is granted them , that a faithful statement be laid before the public . ' * " That each colliery in tbe Association lay a statement of their grievances and a petition for redress before their masters on one day , yiz—Monday , the 20 th November . "—Agreed to .
