LETTER FROM MR . WM . HICK , i ^ OHTHERN STAR OFFICE , LEED ? ' Northern Star Office , Leeds , March 17 th , 1842 . ffp eatlemefl , —You will oblige by forwarding , at 17 your earliest convenience , the same quantity of PARR'S LIFE PILLS aa last sent . VVhile I am writing I cannot refrain from communicating the flattering intelligence of the groat good your pills aTe doing in Leed ? and its neighbourhood . It is clearly a great error to find fault with a medicine merely because it is I a patent one ; and more especially since its 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 having taken a few boxes of PARR'S LIFE PILLS , she was completely restored , as was evident by the way she spoke . I " Very many case of extraordinary cures have 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 bo , that from being unable to work at their calling ; more than two days in the week , and this with great physical difficulty and languor , they can now not only do a full week's work , but overhours besides , j 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 , whioh 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 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 . j " The next and last case which . I shall mention a 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 anil from Mr . J . Hobson , who has frequently seen him since his oonvalesence . The man is a working mechanic and had speafc about thirty pounds la&t year on the doctor , in going to the Isle of Man and other places , for the benefit 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 , be returned to his friends at Leeds , where he was told by his medical adviser that should ho be restored a little , his disorder would , have its periodical return ; bat being advised to try PARR'S LIFE PILLS , he bought a few boxes , whioh 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-steak * with great guato |; and to whom he recited with pleasure and gratitude the cause of his then health ; 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 j what use of them you think proper . I am , Gentlemen , yonrs , respectfully , WILLIAM HICK . To Messrs . T . Roberts and Co ., 9 , Crane Court Fleet-street , London . " MXBACULOUS CURE FROM THE 0 SE OF PARK ' S LIFE PILLS . Copy of a Letter just received by the Proprietors from Mr . Wm . Moat , 3 , Cobbett-stveet , Shaw's Brow , Salford . " To the Proprietors of Parr ' s Life Pills . " Gentlemen , —* have the utmost pleasure in for ( warding you this my own case of cure , effected solely , by the persevering uf > e of your Parr's Life Pills , i Before having recourse to them , I had been for up- - wards of five years afflicted with a most distressing malady , which the different medical men who at- ; tended me all pronounced to be a serious case of ; hydroceie ( or dropsy of the scrotum ) , and declared I there was no other chance of either relief or cure ; than undergoing a surgioal operation . I was thus i driven almost to despair ; and consulted the treatise written by Sir Astley Cooper , wherein he states that | the operation is generally attended with considerable j danger . I therefore determined not to risk so painful and uncertain an experiment , but rather chose to J leave the result to nature and Providence . Fortu- ! nately , I heard of the great fame of Pabr's Life i Pills , and resolved to give them a fair trial . I con- j sequently took them for some time without perceiv- j ing any benefit , but still kept persevering ; and 1 have now taken twelve boxea , and to my great joy I am perfeotly 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 . 1 feel certain you would havu accounts of far more cure- ' , if people would persevere in the use of the pills a proper length of time , as 1 have done . I give ( you my heartfelt ' thanks , and authority to publish : this letter , and will gladly answer any applications j either personally or by letter , and remain your j grateful aud obliged servant .

" 11 Gentlemen , —I am happy to inform you that we ; are daily hearing accounts of the good effect of Parii's Life Pills ; to enumerate the cases world ! 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 j a box of Life Pills for Life Pills they were to him f thoy had done him is much good , in relieving him of i an obstinate cough and asthma . " Another said they were worth their weight in gold ! as ho was not like the same man since he had taken thorn . " Another said his wife had had a bad leg for i years , but after taking one small box , which was ! r . commended by his Class Leader , her leg was much better , and when she had taken the second box , is was quite as well as the other . " A vury respectable female &aid her husband had , been afflicted above two years , and had tried many things , but since he had taken Parh ' s Life Pills he was quite a new man .

THE PATENT METALLIC CAPSULE , AN INFALLIBLE SECURITY AGAINST FRAUDULENT SUBSTITUTIONS FOR BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY . TO those who recollect the nauseous and unwhol esome properties whioh distinguished the article known as British Brandy , previously to the year 1829 , and the prediction that all attempts at competition with French Brandy could only result in an . entire failure , the introduction bf the Patent Brand y , at that period , was matter of much surprise;— com . bining , as it was found to do , all the essential properties of the finer qualities of Brandy manufactured in France , with a degree of pnrity , and consequent wholesomeness , unknown in the latter . The existence of these valuable properties in Betts's Patent Brandy , waa distinctly certified , after analysis , by some of tbe first Chemists of the day . That evidence has been fully sustained by . the extensive support of the most eminent Medical men ; and , very especially , by its long-established use , under Medical direction , in preference to French Brandy , in the principal Infirmaries , Hospitals , and other Public Institutions , throughout the country ; among which it will suffice to name Guy's and the Westminster Hospitals , in the Metropolis , and the Manchester and Bristol Infirmaries . An unprecedented extent of sale has , likewise , marked its pro * gross in public estimation . That an article possessed of such merits , and sold at little mere than half the price of French Brandy , should not have entirely superseded the use of Foreign , is only to be attributed to the fact , that the Patentee has had to struggle , not only with the original—and , it must be admitted , well-foundedprejudice against Brandy produced in this country ; but , also , against a constant succession of attempts to force into consumption inferior descriptions , —in many cases as substitutes for , and even under the name of , the Patent Brandy . The correction of this evil , whioh has long been matter of extreme solicitude to the Patentee , is at length effected , by a Metallic Capsule , or covering for the cork ; the exclusive manufacture of which is secured to him by Letters Patent . It is composednot of tinfoil , an article much used , but—of perfectly pure and solid met ^ l ; stamped by the aid of powerful and costly machinery , into the exact size / tnd shape adapted to the bottle ; to whioh it ia attached by simpie , but most effective , means : and its adhesion is so perfect , that it cannot be removed vithoat being completely destroyed ; and , therefore , no Capsule can be used a . second time . The Patentee , by the aid of this most efficient guarantee against tho frauds from which he and hi 3 numerous connexions have so extensively suffered , will now be enabled to protect the interests of all concerned , whether as vendors or purchasers ; and if care be taken to observe , that the Capsules attached to the glass bottles , have the words "Betts ' s Patent Brandy , No . 7 , Smithfield Bars , " embossed upon them , the genuine character of the contents may be relied upon , —an assurance that must equally induce Dealers and Consumers to give that support to an article of such superior value , which the Patentee feels satisfied has only been withheld , in certain quarters , from tbe previously-existing difficulty in guarding against the fraudulent substitutions here described . Tho Patent Brandy may be obtained from most of tho Wine and Spirit Merchants in England and Wales , at Eighteen Shillings per Gallon la bulk;—in glass buttles , secured by the Patent Capsule , at Twenty Shillings per Gallon;—or , a single bottle , as sample , for Three Shillings and Sixpence . French Brandy Distillery , 7 , Smithfield Bars , London , January , 1844 .

SOCIAL MURDER , Dkeabpul Misery—Death bt Staetation . — On Friday , an inquest was held before Mr . Wakley , at the Golden Lion , near the tile kilni , Maiden-lane , King's Cross , on the body of Maria Dillaway and her infant child , which occurred on Sunday last , under the following melancholy circumstances . The jury , upon proceeding to ; view the bodies , were appalled by the evidence of poverty and wretchedness which the place presented . At the back of London-street , Maiden-lane , bounded upon tho opposite side by the tile-kilns , are a number of plots of garden ground , called Albion Gardens , having scattered here and there a few wretched leokjrg hovels , which are the residences of some poverty stricken creatures , who have there sought shelter . Amongst the raoEt wretched of these places stood the hut , or sty ( as the coroner described it ) , in wtich the body of the mother and infer t Iny . The place consisted of one apartment five feet eigbt inches in width , twelve
feet in length , and seven or ejght feet In height It was constructed of old bricks , boards , and other half perishing materials ; without any looiing , old brickB and stones trodden here and there into the soft and clsmmy earth being the only expedient resorted to for diminishing the coldness arising from the eeil , the wind and -wet finding Ifeeit way through the thousand crevices Hit uncovered in various parts cf tfca structure . In thiB place had resided the father , feur children , and the mother and child upon whose bodies the inquest was held . The bodies of the woman and child were in an advanced stage of decomposition , and presented all the appearances of having been literally starved to death . In the place resided the father and four children , who had acta&Uy slept on their wretched bed within two feet of the body of their relative . The jury expressed the most unmizigledfborrorand disgust that such a scene could take place in uiy civlliaad country . The first witness called was ,
Eiizibeth Barfit—She deposed that she lived in Albion Gardens , and was on intimate terms with deceased , who frequently called upon h ^ r . Knew she was in great distress . Called upon deceased on Sunday last , and found her exceedingly ill . Immediately went for a medical man , but before he arrived the poer woman died . Deceased as well as her husband and children had long been starving . The Coronsr—The bedies present the appearance of being starved . D . d they complain asr . i nst any one astbe cause—or fiid you ever know them to apply to the pariah for relief ? ¦ Witness—I believe that they did apply to the parish ; at least I advised them to do so . The Coroner—ilr . Tubbe , did they make any application for relief at your p-irish ?
Mr . Tubbs ( the beadle of the Islington Workhouse )—Yes ; they did mske some application for parochial relief , but they did not obtain any , in consequence of their refusing to enter as inmates . The witness BarSt ( in continuation )—The husband was a smith , but in consequence of notbelng able to woifc be had subsisted on the earnings of his wife as a shoe binder . The Coroner—And what means of subsistence had she ? Witness—She earned about « d . a-day—that was aot enough to Tr . BA ^ tn . ^ six of them , and he had been out of work and earned nothing . The Coroner—Was any charge of crime ever made against them ? Witness—No , certainly not .
Martha Beswick then stated that she lived m Springstreet , Bagnigge-wells-road . She had seen the deceased on the Wednesday previous to her death . Sba then stated that she did not expect to be confined for four or five weeks . She said that she £ id not know how to procure tbe comf tts necessary for her situation . ilr . "Wakley—Comfoits ! Comforts ! God bless mel Bad she even food of the coarsest description to sustain life ? Daniel Diliaway , the husband of deceased , waa then
called , and appeared to be overcame by the melancholy eircumatacce Left borne on the morning of his wife ' s death for & short time , when she complained of severe pain , although nothing striouB was apprehended . Had been out of work twelve months , during -which time the only monty which he had obtained consisted of a few halfpence picked up from his former sbopmatea . Deceasea ha « s . ads application te Islington , and tbeautheritijs bad offered to pass him and h :-s famiiy over to St . Patera ? , the paiiih in which be was born , and in whicb be rksic . bd twelve years .
Tbe CcTontr—why did you noi make application t « St . Paccrss parish ?—Witness—Because , Sir , 1 -was well amir . - it would have been perfectly useless . ilr . Wakley—A mo&t mischievous and cruel system is in operation with iespect to parcel-ial relief . If a ptiaMi Ieave 3 his parish for another , marries , obtaiDE employment , and is subi ^ quently compelled by u ' . foiseen circumstances to seek reliif in his own parish , he is refuF-rf , unless he enters tbe house , aud breaks of all \ b . os& coar . ectiors wbicb fee baB estabH&bed during a I 0 C 5 stries of years , aad from whom he might meive some as ; : ? tance .

If 0 E 8 did not fenow the meaciDg of being ' inmatca , ' one shcnld be disposed to set down the starvation which tras tcdured as merely a heavy punishment for gross folly &uil obstiu&cy .

Kcthrng but tbe l > 7 e cf liberty and the love of one another can Ktiui--aliy be appealed to , as accounting foi tbe conduct of the Dilla-ways—uothiDg but thts dread of their beiDg incarcerated ac-i separated from one
another . This incrrceration and separation mnst < have b ? en to them worse than starvation itself . There was to itre cf idleness to tempt them to refuse the -workhouse . The wife worked hard as a » hoetind--r . The husband had been in work at 32 s . a-wc « rk , be-, had been cut out of his situation by a -workmii ] who took his place at a guinea , and so Lad lost bis sirploymeBt .

contestable proofs than among the very poor .

MOKE Siaevixg TO Death—Mr . Higga held an inquest on Friday , at St . James ' s Workhouse . Polandstreet , on the body of Mary Hambler , age 65 . From the evidence of the witnesses it appeared that the deceased had recently got her living by needlework . Her residence was unknown , but on Saturday night last she engaged half a bed from a woman named Margaret Parker , at No . 7 , Husband-street , and agreed to pay Is Cd a week for it . Deceased went to bed Immediately , and on the following morning foutpence , all the
money she had , was spent to get her some tea . She had nothing whatever to eat but a halfpenny ban ; but owing to -weakness and great bodily debility , she waa unable to swallow a mouthful . She remainid in the room nntilthe following Tuesday , when an order for her removal td the workhouse was procured , and she was admitted on the same day . Her death took place tbe next evening , and it waa the opinion of Mr . French , tbe parish surgeon , that she died from apoplexy . Tbe surgeon thought sho was in want of food , and the witness Parker said she was totally destitute , and in a starving condition . The room in which deceased engaged the lodging was in siza eight feet by ten , aud , much to the astonishment of the coroner and jury , it wns stated that five persons , four women and a lad of sixteen , slept la it . Terdict— " Died from apoplexy . " It was stated that deceased had been housekeeper to many families of the highest respectability . - ^ ri .

Curious and Highly Interesting Expebibients on thb Causes of Human Longhvity . —The scientific world has lately bceu enriched with a paper published in the transactions of the Surgical Institute of Paris , bv the celebrated Spanish Burgeons Gonzales and Yaldez , assisted by Mons . Pieroot , of Pans , detailing experiments made by them during several years' practice in Andalusia , in Spain ; aud , when a right view is taken of the difficulties to bo met with in obtaining subjects for dissection in a place where so much pn-jndioo exists against the practice , as is the case in Spain , tho obligation :, of the medical profession to these gentlemen will bo proportionately enhanced . The paper states , " that their time was for several soars devoted to
observations on thebabks and manners of the extremely aged ; also to post mortem examinations and experiments . Out of fifteen cases , in which the parties died at the age of 90 to 100 years , tbey found but three in wbicb the artorial functions including ? he ventricles , had ossified , and in these subjects it wa 3 observed that the botvela and stomach exhibited every symptom of activity and health . On enquiry , it was stated by tbe apothecary of the village that their custom was to purge the alimentary canal periodically , at least weekly . Tho conclusion arrived at was , that by attending to this great essential to health and longevity , purging of th « J bowels , these three persons had , in each case , sustained a naturally weak frame fot many years beyond tho
period to whicb ihey could have existed under au opposite mode of proceeding . On disseoting the remaining twelve ( with one exception , and that arising from malforin&tion ) , tho heaTt , lungs , and arteries were found in r » s healthy a state as in muck younger persons ; their decease occurring from morbidity of the stomach and bowels , beginning in costiveness , and ending in constipation and death It was proved that till the last moment tboy seldom or never took medicine , except in extremity , and in such cases their remedy had been strong mineral drastics , such as calomel , &o . The conclusion to be arrived at in these cases is , that had these old persons attended to tho state of the alimentary canal , or bowels , by judicious purgatives , their already
advanced age would have been prolonged to a more extended period . " As an illustration of the truth of the above , it is on record that tho life of one of the oldest and most vigorous men in England was continued to a patriarchal age by his constant attention to the seat of all health—the bowels . Old Parr , called in old English phraseology " Tho Old Man Wise , " by a simple herbal medicine prepared by himself ( and tho prescription or mode of preparing which has been fortunately discovered within thenu few years ) preserved his health and mental faculties during the reign of ten Kings and Queens of England . The attention of all classes has been attracted to the undeniable virtues of Parr ' s Life Pills , and a vast majority of the people have evinced
their unqualified approval of tbe high character awarded tbi 3 medicine , and are daily becoming more and more convinced , not only of the efficacy , but , to use a more familiar term , the innocency of this renovaior of the human race . Hence the proprietors have , from time to time , been obliged to enlarge their establishment , and compelled to avail themfelves of the combined aid of mechanical fUi' 11 and ? tcaia power , in order to enable them to measure out a supply in accordanco with the demand ; aud the philamhropio of every grade and of cvary clime will rejoice to learn that this invaluable medicine is rapidjy extending its healing influence to every cornor 0 ' ihs civilised world . —Manchester and Suljord Advertiser , July 2 , 1843 .
