LETTER FROM MR . WM . HICK , NOR THERN STAR OFFICE , LEEDS " Northern Star Office , Leeds , Maroh 17 th , 1842 . CCp entlemen , —Yon will oblige by forwarding , at IX your earliest convenience , the Bame quantity of PARR'S LIFE PILLS as last sent . While I am writing I cannot refrain from communicating the flattering 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 ia a patent one ; and more especially since its use has contributed so largely to the publje health . The fact is , however , prejudice is fast giving way , as it always must where the pills aro 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 fox 4 box , who stated that they had done her immenB 9 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 cores hare 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 to , 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 . 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 enyy 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 asneceesary to their health and prosperity as their daily food . " 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 fact as I have received it from his employers and from Mr . J . Hobson , who has frequently seea 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 , but to no purpose . His food had consisted for a long time of nothing but rice milk , the stomach refusing to tafee 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 , he 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 affliction " Should the above three cases of cares 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 . Roberts and Co ., 9 , Crane Court Fleet-street , London . " MIRACULOUS CUBE FROM THE USB OF PAB& ' S LU ? B PILLS . Copy of a Letter just received by the Proprietors from Mr . Wm . Moat , 3 , Cobbett-street , Shaw ' s Brow , Salford . " To tbe Proprietors of Parr ' s Life Pills . " Gentlemen , —I have the utmost pleasure in for warding you this my own case of cure , effected solely by the persevering use of your Paer'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 bydrocele ( 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 consulted 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 Pabr'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 ia 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 , aa 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 . " FBOM MB . HEATON , BOOKSELLER , LEEDS . " To the Proprietors of Parr ' s Life Pills . " "Gentlemen , —I am happy to inform you that we are daily hearing accounts of the good effects of Pabr'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 . OBe man said he wanted a box of Life Pills for Life Pills they were to him they had done himso much good , in relieving him of an obstinate cough and asthma . " Another said they were worth their weight ia gold I as he was not like the same man since he had taken them . "Another said his wife had had a bad leg for years , but after taking one small box , which was recommended by bis Class Leader , her leg was much better , and when she had taken the second box , is was quite as well as the other . " A very respectable female said her husband had been afflicted above two years , and had tried many things , but since he had taken Parr's Life Pills he was quite a new man .

PRISON HORRORS . Whilst the indignation of the country is excited , as it most be , by the discussion -which toot place in the House of Commons on Tuesday night upon the imprisonment of ax individuals in a narrow cell , six feet eleven inches high , nine feet eleven inches long , and three feetniae inches Iroad , into which no air could be admitted , eTen throngh the keyhole , for the space of seven hours , as Mr . iiaule asserts , but at any rate for five hoars , as the Lord Advocate readily admitted ; and whilst every body is astounded at the X > earned Lord ' s declaration , that *• there , was no intention to oppress" these unhappy men , of whom one was instantly discharged as innocent , and the other five had sot then , and hare not yet , been proved to
be guilty of any offence against the law , when the mere fact of their being crammed into such a hole , ¦ would , according to the law of England , be considered proof of malicious intention ; we think that it may not be inappropriate to call public attention to the state of what are technically called *> thelocknps" of England , in wMch we will prove , from Captain Williams ^ recent report on the priso ns of -the northern district that atrocities equally cruel and revolting have been recently committed , and may again be repeated , If very strong and efficient measures are not immediately enforced by the Home Secretary to prevent them . The police lock-ups at Halifax consist of three cells , all ax feet eleven inches high > -
No . 1 . —4 feet 10 inches , by 8 feet 11 inches ., No . 2 . —5 feet , by 8 feet 11 inches . No . 3 . —5 feet 2 inches , by 8 feet 11 inches . In ihese three cells , —which are defective , according to Captain Williams , in sfza , light , ventillation , and the most common requisites , —twenty-four prisoners were confined for three days during the Charfist riots in Midsummer , 1842 . Eight persons , therefore , must have beea crammed into each of these Barrow cells for two-and-seventy hours—not as in the Scotch case , in the cold month of October , but tinder the bluing sun of the month of June . We have heard nothing of the sufferings of these menfor John Bull ' s resentment is generally too deep for words , and does not evaporate so quickly in qnerulons complaints as that of his fellow-subjects in the aster kingdoms—but their sufferings must have been intense and horrible , inasmuch as Captain
Williams says , that " he cannot express Himself in tco strong termB upon the wretched accommodation'' of these dungeons , fie says , moreover , that the statement of the deputy constable , who has the guard of these dens , and who gave him the information which we have just quoted , will scarcely be eredited ; but be adds further , that the same constable specified the 24 th of June aa another day , in which fifteen prisoners were received into teem , and remained inere till the 26 th . This be it recollected , took place in June , 1842 . No alteration had been made in these lock-ups when Captain Williams Tinted them on the 1 st of December * 1843 . A ^ ragrant was then lying there who had died of typhus on the morning of his visit . These loek-nps baye been specially , reported to the Secretary of State , and , for the honour of Yorkshire , are , we trust , now destroyed or abandoned for ever .
This ia bad enough ; we will not say that worse remains behind ; but the same borough of Halifax affords us another instance of the inattention of magistrates to the necessary consequences of their own actions . We can scarcely admit ignorance to be a sufficient excuse fox the infliction of such torture aa must have been endured in the case which follows : B In another part of the town of Halifax is an old Irailding , used as a receptacle for the fire-engines , ¦ within which is a cell known by the name * of dungeon , and which , I understood , was disused , it being wholly unfit for the reception of human beings .
Having expressed a wish to see ihe interior , the police constable found the keys , and upon entering , to my surprise , we stumbled in the dark over what proved toiw a boy . Upon procuring a light and interrogating Mm , he stated that—* He was twelve Tears of age , that be had been taken before the magistrates yesterday , and sentenced to imprisonment in the House of Correction at Wakefield , and that the constable had put him in there at three o ' clock the day before , after leaving the court . He had a dinner before he came in , given him by the constable , and tea and coffee and a peany . tea-cake ^ and a bit of one this morning . Could not sleep it was so cold .
" The condition of this place teas most wretched ; ihe onhj bedding a quantity of dirty leng-left straw aid an old rvg ; gxtite dark and xdthovX ventiUlion ; no convenience of any description whatever for natural irantS j end a heap efoid excremeni lay in the corner . I immediately represented the case to the justices , and they expressed ihemselves quite ignorant of the circumstance of tho boy being-there , supposing that he had been conveyed the day previously to Wakefield , according to their positive directions . The constable was called before them , and he stated—* His reason for placing the boy there was , that he thought there might be more prisoners for him to take to Wakefield the next day . * " I have every reason to believe no such occurrence will again take place , and that this ' dungeon' will aot be used as a place of confinement under any circumstances in future .
The discovery of one of these den 3 , which resemble the dungeons of the darkest feudal ages more than the comparatively humane prisons of modern times , wonld be a . sufSeient justification for the expediency of ihe act appointing inspectors of prisons ; but , unfortunately , for suffering inmanhy , too manyjuch dens , to which even innocent . men mav be consigned , have been discovered to render it necessary for us to rest its justification on any such narrow basi 3 . ! Their early reports are filled with descriptions of the horrible places into which persons accused of crime were formerly thrust , and to which they might be remanded for several days . Many of those places hare been improved—many still require improvement j for instance , those of the city of York-and
, the towns of Pontefract and of Derby , briefly ad-Terted to in the recent report of Captain Williams . On a former visit to Chester that gentleman reported ¦ that the lock-ups of the police of that city were not Jit for the reception of prisoners , "inasmuch as they were deficient in light and ventilation , and without any provision for the supply of artificial heat during the winter season . " On his recent fish he again solicited the attention of the municipal authorities to the necessity of providing more suitable accommodation for prisoners under temporary detention ; and sot withont just reason , if ike eridence of the turnkey of the city gaol , corroborated as it is by that of the surgeon , be true—* ' that the prisoners come from the lock-ups in a very cold
statecom-, plaining dreadfully , and looking at time 3 as if they had an ague fit / upon them . * At the lock-ups at Sheffield , where prisoners are generally detained four days , . aad sometimes ten , the bedding—a litter © f straw , changed once a month , with a rug—is described as most uncleanly and inadequate . Pigs are iept close to them by the gaoler , as if it ¦ were intended to render them as offensive as possible to men who either have undergone , or may shortly have to undergo , the ordeal of a public trial . Capt . Williams informs us , that they also want light and ventilation , and expresses an opinion ( in which we most cordially concur ) , that , considering the length of time in which prisoners are generally confined in
them , their inmates are subjected to a great "deal of unnecessary privation and inconvenience , from tie wast of proper accommodation and management . Bat what does that signify—we say it with regretto the magistrate , who thinks that he has discharged his duty when he has committed the prisoner who has been dragged before him ! " The prisoner is a guilty man , and therefore he must suffer . " True : but he must suffer the punishment awarded by the law ; every pang inflicted beyond it is an injustice ; and of prisoners before trial , all that we certainly know 13 , that they are ¦ unfortunate , and that " they are therefore entitled , " in the words of Mr .

SlATB OB THE &AOLS Df THE NOBTH EaSTEBN Dbtbici . —In the eighth Report of the Inspector of Prisons , drawn up by Captain Williams , and just tt&de public ^ we find it stated that , notwithstanding & direct communication from the Home-office to ihe municipal authorities , the House of Correction for the borough of Great Yarmouth still remains In its former and defective plight . Captain Williams has felt himself a second time bound to make a SDecial report of ihe inadequate accommodation , of its vicious admixture of criminal and debtor prisoners , of its want of moral and religions instruction , and of its wFD&cient and irregular diet . In the City Jail of Norwich the dietaries are also denounced as altogether unsatisfactory . The prisoners—amongst
whom a tendency to diarrhea had displayed itself in consequence of the scantiness of their food—generally complain of it . The Inspector fonnd among them a boy placed in solitary confinement in a dark end small eelL , whose neck M was almost covered with what appeared an eruption , but what was explained to be from vermin "—the Hnlicensed etanpanions of fcisjeaptmtv . In Norwich Castle , now * sed as a Jail for the County of Norfolk , the state of affairs 13 almost _ egnally ifSieling . On former oceamons Captain Williams declared the di « tary to be too low for long periods of imprisonment , and to be aot the most suitable for prisoners , owinetoitB being
almost wholly of a farinaceous nature . He repeats that opinion-in his present Bsport , and quotes the evidence of the suigeon toprovethatmany prisoners hare had their constitutions shattered by it at the termination ; of the period of their imprisonment . In the journal of that officer for the last year we observe the : cases of five prisoners , who had sore gams and other symptoms indicative of a tendency to scurvy . During fcb visit to the " prison Captain WflTia-ns inspected its innates personally , and added thirteen , in consequence , to the number ( thirty-two ) whom the surgeon had previously placed upon extra diej ^ jQ jrjtain : Williaas concludes bis obser-; 'V ^ T ? pOT ttflfr ^ TPff " with soioe remark * which

we would press upon the notice of the magistracy of that county , did we not entertain a thorough conviction that any appeal to their feelings would be a fruitless work of enperorogation . As landlords , it is a notorious fact that they have reduced the labour ^ ing classes on their estates to subsist almost entirely upon farinaceous aliments : and when the" empty stomachs of their hungered Berfs rebelled against such un-Euglish diet , they proposed to clear them from their cottages by hundreds under a specious
but cruel and selfish scheme of emigration to our distant colonies Years and years ago , the subject of the dietary is said to have occupied the attention of these rustic Midasea . We find from this report that it occupies their attention still ; and in spite of the sanguine hopes expressed by Captain Williams , we have a notion that it will continue to occupy them for some years longer , if the publication of the following paragraph from his report does not shame these hard-hearted men at last into something wearing the semblance of humanity : —
"I am of opinion that animal food should form a portion of the prisoners' rations , at a very much earlier period , and for shorter terms of imprisonment , than what the Justices appear to think it neeessary ; and I am also satisfied that the adoption of the official dietaries , or their equivalents , not only in this gaol , but in the other penal establishments of the County of Norfolk , is indispensibly requisite for the preservation of the prisoners in such a state of health as shall enable them when discharged to maintain themselves by hard labour—a condition of life to which the great proportion are called . "
Wakefield asd Glasgow Jails . —We regret , but are not surprised , to discover in the evidence attached to this report , additional proof of the injurious effects of applying the torture of solitary confinement to any description of prisoners . Captain Williams says , in looking over the Surgeon ' s journal of February 9 , 1842 , I found the following entry in the Surgeon's journal of the Wakefield House of Correction : — "February 9 th , 1842 . —Reported to the visiting Magistrates that during the last quarter several of the boys in the Penitentiary have been obliged to be placed upon the extra diet list in consequence of many of them complaining of stiffness in the joints , cramps , and weariness of the legs , and difficulty in walking , accompanied with loss of appetite and other
symptoms of debility . Tke continnsd sedentary position , conjoined with the long periods of confinemenf , appears to me to be injurious to their health , and I should certainly recommend a relaxation of discipline to those affected . Upon inquiry the following particulars were obtained from the keeper , surgeon , and deputy keeper : —That the boys referred to were all for long terms ; that they were employed in separate cells in shoemaking , and under superintendence , in oakum picking ; that for exercise they had two hours a day military drilling in the yard ; that they were at first as fine a looking Bet of boys as could be seen , but they gradually became debilitated and looked like old men ; the joints became stiff , particularly the hips , which showed itself when they
walked . Some were so bad that they could not continue the drilling . Extra diet was given to then , but without producing any material improvement in the symptoms . By direction of the surgeon the discipline was relaxed , and permission waa given to them to play out in the open air at cricket , marbles , * c , officers being present who joined them in the play . They almost immediately recovered , but jot bo unoontrolable in their spirits and disorderly in the school , that the play was discontinued s they however , again got weak , and it was again obliged to be resorted ^ to ; they again Boon recovered . lam quite of opinion that such a state of seolasion as compels working in oellB , iB wholly unfit ftr boys or girls , and that the separate system is quite inapplicable to young persons . "
The Surgeon ' s journal of the Glasgow Bridewell says : — " Active exercise ( that is , running to the full extent of the prisoner's ability in the corridors ) waa satisfactorily tried with the more javenile delinquents , with whom it had been found that long confinement was attended with the most pernicious effects , a few months alone , in some cases , being sufficient to produce an inability to stove about with tke slightest inclination to agility—the usual concomitant of early age—and frequently terminating in a rigidity of the joints of the lover extremities , too often productive of permanent lameness . "
Poob-Law xax > b CEimifAxs . —There is much more matter in this report which deserves to be published Take one instance out of many . Will any man believe , till he Bees it certified under the hand of the Chaplain of the House of Correction at Preston , in Lancashire , that in Christian England it is a crime punishable with imprisonment in a felons * prison to leave a workhouse on Sunday to attend church 1 Has the committing Magistrate ever read the parable of DiveB and LaziruB ! If he have not , let him read it forthwith ; and , in the meanwhile , our readers will do well to cast their eyes over the subjoined paragraph : —
September 30 . —A prisoner , named Humphery Marsh , sent from the workhouse , and whose good conduct had attracted my notice , being about to be discharged , came to thank me for ' the benefit he bad received in the chapel , and to request that I would write to the Magistrate of the neighbourhood about having a Minister in their workhouse , where , he said , there were generally GOO persons . ' The poor man was very earnest on the point ; and he wept much at being deprived of his regular opportunities of attending Sabbath worship ( his act of insubordination had been leaving the workhouse on a Sunday to attend church ) . I did not think myself authorised te write to any Magistrate on the subject , but I requested Marsh to call upon the Vicar of his district , who , 1 am sure , will interest himself in the matter , if Marsh pleads hia case to him with any of the homely , but forcible , eloquence which he used with me . "
SOCIAL MURDER . Death from Destitution . —On Friday Mr . Baker the Coroner , held an inquest at the Black Horse , Kingsland-road , on the body of Johann Kubulein , aged forty . John Smith , gate-keeper at the Shoreditch workhouse , stated , that at eight o'clock on Tuesday night last , the deceased was found Bitting on the step of a door , in Hoxton , by police constable Dean , No . 205 . Deceased was then in an insensible state , and the policeman bad him taken to the workhouse . Witness had him placed in one of the wards , and sent for the parish surgeon . On the following day he recovered a little , but not sufficiently to be able to speak . In the night he grew worse , and at six o ' clock the next morning died . Witness found in his pockets a pawnbroker ' s duplicate for a pair of shoes and a pistol , pledged at Dover , on January 15 , 1844 , in the name of Henry Curling , of
Limekilnstreet . There was also a book partly written and partly printed , and which contained a description of Johann Kuhulein . The description agreed with deceased ' s appearance , and it was supposed from seme writing in the book that he ( deceased ) had been a miller , and bad travelled on business through Dresden , Hamburgh , and many other places on the Continent . Deceased was very poorly dressed in an old blue coat , canvas trousers , and old cotton socks . From a passport in his possession , and some entries in the book , witness thought the last place he was at was Rotterdam . Mr . James Clark , the parish surgeon , said that deceased was scarcely able to breathe when he saw him . He died next morning , and witness had no doubt that his death w&a caused by the want of food . Upon an examination of the body , nothing whatever was found in the intestines . Verdict , "Natural death , accelerated by want and destitution . "
RECORD OF DESTITUTION . Mablborocgh-Stkeet Police Office . —Among the numerous cases of destitution which have been investigated and relieved at this court , few , if any , have greater claims to public sympathy than the following : —A widow of the name of Theresa Bishop , nearly sixty years of age , with a sick daughter , twenty-sir years of age , residing at No . 5 , Brownstreet , GrosTenor-squar « , were recommended by Miss Sicre , No . 10 , Blandford-street , Portman-sqnare , as fit objects for relief . P . C . Tice , one of the officers of the court , was seat to investigate the case . The officer returned with tbe daughter , who seemed scarcely able to stand from illness and famine . The
officer stated that in a small back room not larger than a cupboard , which did not contain a single article of furniture of any description , he found the poor girl lying on some rags in a corner ; bed there was none ; aad a box served as a chair , table , and everything else . The mother was not at home , having gone ont to earn a trifle by charing . He had ascertained from the landlord , that they had lived in this state since May last , but that seeing their destitute condition , he had never asked them for rent , and they had by degrees parted with every thing they possessed to preserve themselves from absolute starvation , rather than go into ft workhouse . Mr . Hardwick inquired of the daughter how her mother and herself had managed to subsist .
She replied that her mother occasionally earned a small pittance by going out -charing , and that she &lf 0 T Bome ame fflmed a trifle p # r week by shirtmaking . She had been obliged to work so hard for the small remuneration allowed , that that and want of proper nourishment combined , had rendered her so ill as to be unable to continue the occupation . Mr . Hardwick ordered that a sovereign should be given her for their present relief . The poor creature seemed overpowered with gratitude . Upwards of fifty deserving persons have daring the week been relieved , in sums varying from 53 . to 20 saccording bo the merits of their eases .

The mortality of London , and indeed , of England generally , shows a gradual annual decrease , whilst it is well known thepopulation increases considerably . The rates of premium for Life Insurance have been greatly reduoed during tho last few years , yet the offices continue as prosperous as formerly . These facts clearly demonstrate that some cause , either unknown or unheeded , must have produced such favourable results . Amongst these causes , the increased knowledge of anatomy and the many very valuable discoveries in medicine will stand most prominent . The small-pox , that annually carried off thousands , has been successfully combatted by vaccination ; and Gout , that used to olaina its numerous victims , has been thoroughly vanquished by Blair ' s Gout and Rheumatic Pills .

PARR'S LIFE PILLS . —The Letters whioh are here given , are from persons of the highest respectability and character . The proprietors of PARR'S LIFE PILLS respectfully urge those invalids who have the slightest doubt or their accuracy , to visit tbe parties whose names are here given , or where this is impracticable , to make the fullest investigation by letter , as they have kindly promised to answer all questions to tnoso who desire further information : — No . 7 , Washington-street , Jersey Ciiy . To MesBrs . Thomas Roberts & Co ., 304 , Broadway . Gentlemen , —Your medicine named PARR'S LI FE PILLS , having attracted a good deal of attention in our city , I purchased from Mr . Zibriskio , apothecary here , a twenty-fire cent box , and attending to the directions printed on the wrapper round tbe box , I took the Pills twice , and have already felt so much relieved of bile and heartburn , that sincere gratitude induces me to address you for the purpose of giving my testimony to their efficacy . I can only Compare my health now to what it was before taking Parr ' s Life Pills , to being relieved from a violent attack of tooth-ache- Neither myself or family will ever be without a supply . I am , gentlemen , yours gratefully , Nov . 22 nd , 1843 . JAMES MILLER . Mr . S . TowBey , Postmaster of Joslin ' a Corner Maddison County , writes as follows : — Gentlemen , —I have sold many boxes of PARR'S LIFE PILLS , and they have given universal satisfaction , and it is my candid opinion that they are destined to supersede all the other Pills now in use . The mild operation , and fine balsamio properties , will mako them universal favorites . I have used the Pills in my family , and find them to be an excellent medicine , and I shall recommend them accordingly . To Messrs . Thomas Roberts and Co ., Proprietors of " Parr ' s Life Pills , " 304 , Broadway . Gentlemen , —I cannot refrain from expressing my gratitude and thanks for the benefit which , under Providence , my family and self have received from the use of your invaluable •* Parr's Life Pills , " I have used them constantly , in cases where every other medicine has failed to remove the most tormenting sufferings I experienced from habitual costiveness and bilious attacks , accompanied by dimness of sight and nausea , with complete prostration of the digestive functions . I am now completely recovered , as I believe , solely by the uso of "Parr ' s Life Pills . " Finding them so efficacious in my own case , my wife concluded to give them to our children , instead ot the uncertain and ignorant prescriptions which are frequently recommended in the drug stores . I am happy to say , that notwithstanding the last summer was one of the most sickly and variable known in New York for many years past , yet my children did not suffer a single attack of summer complaint whioh is so fatal to young children . I consider " Parr's Pills" the best medicine ever used , and free from the objections of violence of action and prostration of strength , to which all others I have used are liable . You are at liberty to usa my name , and on reference tome , I shall cheerfully confirm my opinion and experience of your Pills . Respectfully , CHAS . A . GRIGLIETTI . Formerly of 44 , Columbia St ., cor . of Delancy , N . Y ., Now of 204 , Broome-street . No . 198 , Christie-street . Messrs . Thomas Roberts and Co ., —This is to certify , that I have been offlicted for this twelve years with the liver complaint and dyspepsia , and after trying all advertised medioines—then had recourse to a doctor , who pointed out to me the report of "Parr ' s Life Pills , " and after attentively and carefully taking a few small boxes , I began to feel like another being—and I ask my cure may be circulated through the United States , so grateful am I for my recovery from the grave . 198 , Christie-street . M . FLING . The above , with hundreds of other testimonials , can be seen at the Proprietors' Office , 304 , Broadway . This medicine can be purchased of all respectable druggists through the United States . TO THE PUBLIC . An Injunction in the Court of Chancery of Massa " chuaetts , was lately granted against George Robertsi of tho " Boston Times and Nation , " Boston , —( no way related to out Thomas Roberta)—for fraudulently attempting to issue a spurious article , as our far-famed and excellent medicine * "Parr's Life PUIb , " The Chancellor , Judge Story , after ordering the defendant , &c , into Court , ruled " that the injunction be made absolute in every point sought for " —being a severe animadversion on the conduct of the defendant . Although our Aaents are constantly ou the alert , and the great difficulty and expense of imitating our labels on and around our boxes of Pills , are strong safeguards , we are deter mimed , at any cost , to protect ourselves from the cupidity of dishonest persons , and the public from the danger of & spurious imitation of our medicine . THOMAS ROBERTS & CO ., No . 304 , Broadway , corner of Daane Street , It will be seen that PARR'S LIFE PILLS have extended their fame to the United States , and that equally there , as in England , they are effioaoious .
