To Messrs T . Roberts and Co .. 304 , Broadway . Gentlemen—Your Medicine named Parr ' s Life Pills having attracted a good deal of attention in our city , I purchased from Mr . Zabrisbie , apothecary here , a 25 cent box , and attending to the directions printed on the wrapper , round the box , I took'the Pills twice , and have already felt so much relieved of bile and heartburn , that sincere gratitude induces me to address yoa for the purpose of giving my testimony to their efficacy . I can only oompare 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 nor my family will ever be without a supply . I am , gentlemen , Yours gratefully , Nov . 2 nd , 1843 . JAMES MILLER . Mr . S . Towsey , Postmaster of Joslin ' s Corner , Maddison County J 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 snpersede all the other Pills now in use . Their mild operation and fine balsamic properties will make them universal favourites . I have used the Pills to my family , and find them to be an excellent medibine , and I shall recommoud them accordingly . To Messrs . T . Roberts and Co ., Proprietors of " Parr ' s Life Pills . " S 04 , 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 " Part ' s Life Pills . " I have used them constantly in cases where every other medicine has failed , to remove the most tormenting Bufferings I experienced from habitual costivenoss and bilious attacks ; accompanied by dim ness of sight and nausea , with complete prostration of the digestiva functions . I am now completely recovered , as I believe , solely by the us « of " Parr ' s Life Pills . " Finding them so efficacious in my own case , my wife concluded to give them to our children , instead of the uncertain and ignorant prescriptions wbioh 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 forinany years past , yet my children did not suffer a Bingle attack of summer complaint whioh is so fatal to young children . I consider , " Parr ' s Pilla" 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 use my name , and on reference to me , I shall cheerfully confirm my opinion and experience of your Pills . Respectfully , CHAS . A . GRIGLIETTI .

Although our agents are constantly on the alert , and the great difficulty and expense of imitating our labels on and around our boxes of pills , are strong safeguards , we are determined , at any cost , to protect ourselves from the cupidity of dishonest persons , and the public from the danger of a spurious imitation of our medicine . THOMAS ROBERTS & CO ., No . 304 , Broadway , corner of Duane-street . It will be seen that Parr ' s Life Pills have extended their fame to the United States , and that equally thore , as in England , they are effioaoious .

The following Testimonial isfrom one of the most talented and respectable members of the Theatrical Profession , Mr . T . D . Rrcs ( the Original Jim Crow ) —a gentleman whose high character for worth and integrity as a citizen places his unsolicited and voluntary attestation of tho excellence of the medicine beyond the shadow of suspicion : — "Gentlemen , —Having in the course of a long and arduous practiceof my profession , contracted a tightness across the chest , with prostration of strength , and suffering much from the effects of the labour attached to my peculiar pursuits , while in England I had recourse to your popular medicine , Parr's Life Pills , from which I received great benefit .

I was for nine years a soldier in the 52 nd Regiment of Foot , and was discharged in October , 1839 , in consequence of ill-health , ( being deemed consumptive , ) after having the best advice her Majesty ' s service afforded . I returned to my native town , feeling that my days could not be long on earth . But by what almost appears an interposition of Providence my attention W 8 B directed to Parr ' s Life Pills , and by taking- only two 23 . ' 9 d . boxes , I was completely enred , and am thus a living monument to the good effected by this most valuable medicine . Within the last few days 1 hate been on a visit to some of my friends in a neighbouring village , where I was told that 'It was like seeing one risen from tho dead , to see me walking through their streets .

" The various forms of bodily and mental weakness , incapacity , suffering and disease , faithfully delineated in this cautiously written and practical work , are almost unknown , generally misunderstood , and treated on principles correspondingly erroneous and superficial , by the present race of medical practitioners . Hence tho 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 tha certainty of restoration . The evils to which the book adverts are extensive and identical in their Heorot and hidden origin , and there are none to whom , as Parents , Guardians , Haads of Families , and especially of Public Schools , is confided the care of young ; people , who ought to remaiu for a moment devoid of that information and those salutary Cautions this work is intended to convey . Not only aro tho most delicate forms of generative debility neglooted by the family physician , ' but they require for their safe management the exolusive study of a life entirely abstracted from the routine of general practise , and ( as iu other departments of the profession ) attentively concentrated in the daily and long continued tbsarvation requisite for the correct treatment of sexual infirmities . 11 If we consider the topics upon oUher in a moral or social view , we find the interests and welfare of mankind seriously involved . The effects of lioontious , indiscriminate and secret indulgence in certain practices , are described with aa accuracy and force which display at once profound reflection aud extensive practical expnrienoe . "—The Planet . " Tho best of all friends is tho Professional Fbiend , and in no shape can ho be consulted with greator safety and seorecy than in "Lucas on Manlt Vieoua . * The initiation into vicious indulgence—its progress—its results in both sexes , arc given with faithful , but alas 1 for human nature , with afiltoting truth . However , tho Authors have not exposed the evil without affording a rotnedy . It shows how " Manly Vi » odr" temporarily impaired , and mental and physical emasculation , produced by uncontrolled iudulgouco of the passions , can be restored ; how the sufferer , who has pined in anguish from the consequences of earlj indiscretion—afraid almost to encounter his fellow-man , can regain the vigour of hoalth and moral courage . The work is written in . a concise and perspicuous stylo displaying how often fond parents are deceived by th 6 outward physical appearance of their youthful offspring ; how the attenuation of the human frame , palpitation of the heart , derangement of the nervous system , cough , indigestion , and a train of symptoms indicative of consumption or general decay , are often ascribed to wroug causes ; and instead of being the natural results of congenital debility or disease , aro the consequences of an alluring and pernicious pactice , alike destructive to the mind aud body . " - ^ Bell ' s New Weekly Messenger . " lk Although a newspaper js not the ordinary channel j for the expression of opinion Upon the merits of a medical work , this remark is open to exception in any instance where the public , and not the isolated and exclusive members of the profession , aro the parties addressed . Upon that which is direoted to men indiscriminately , the world will form its own opinion , and will demand that medical works for popular study should be devoid of that mysterious { technicality in which the science of medioine has hitherto shrouded its own ignorance . The work before us treats of subjects we believe generally , yet very strangely , uegleoted by the medical attendant , and requiring doubtlessly ( as in operative widwifery and the surgery of the eye ) an entire deve ted ness to j a deeply important branch of study . The tone of this book is highly moral , and it abounds in wallwritten , 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 beacon , a well-told appeal to reason , a permanet blessing . It is written in a clear intelligible style , and is evidently the production of a mind long and praotically conversant with the diseases of the most delicate division of the human organization , "— The Magnet . "The secarity of happiness in the marhia « e state is the chief anxiety of all ; but many dread entering upon wedded union , through a secret fear of unfitness for the disoharge 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 .

      SUFFERINGS OF BLEACHERS . It is understood tost Mr . Wallace ' * motion , to haTe the bleaching works in Scotland brought within th * Factory Bill , now in progress through the Hobm of Commons , -will be brought forward by him on Monday next , and that it trill hays the rapport of lord Ashley . Mr . P . M . Stewart , -who hid promised his aid to the operatives , ia bow in correspondence with the master bleachers , and "will support a petition to be presented by them , praying that , before legislation , a Government Commissioner may be appointed to Inquire into the system of labour in the bleaching -works . The masters postponed iheiz opposition until they aaw that , threngh the exertions of Mr . Wallace , theoperaUTea were about to gain their object , and the demand at the eleventh hour

      for inquiry , is comidered by theoperaUTea as altogether » ehain , and used merely for the purpose of delay , and thereby preventing them from obtaining an imnwiiate redress of their grievances . The operatives made the same allegation of cruelty * nd oppression in their petitions to Parliament list session , and prayed for inquiry by Government ; but the masters were then silent—they acquiesced in , or at least never contradicted , these allegations , and certainly they did not then invite inquiry ; and it is only when the operatives are seemingly about to sttaln their object that their employers interfere , and , on pretence that the operatives ' petitions contain somewhat exaggerated statements of their wrongs , and that inquiry ought therefore to be made into them before legislation , pray that the opera

      tives * claims to legislative protection may be postponed The delay and the inquiry sought for by the masters will however be useful to the operatives ; and we trust they will make out such a cafe ai will not only secure for them public sympathy , but also a full measure of Justice from the legislature . We kaveno wish At prssent to enter into any detail of the evils of the system of labour in the bleaching works , but we cannot refrain from stating whit has just been communicated to us , that in a bleaching work not a great many miles from this city , and connected by a gentleman as respectable as any in the trade , the workers were employed for three days successively last week , from six in the morning till twelve at eight , in drying houses heated to 120 degrees of Fahrenheit ; the arersga hours for the whole

      week being tnxtren per day—a length of hours and severity of labour , more than sufficient to Exhaust their strength , and seriously to affect their health . This is not a solitary example of the system , and its -effect upon the physical and moral condition of the workers ; and yet the masters require farther inquiry before it be interfered with . We have be ° n amused to hear of the salutary effects produced is certain bleaching works by our public advocacy » f the right of the operatives to protection from the Legislature . There has been an active setting of the works in order , preparatory , no doubt , to the visit of the Government Commissioner

      Sells have been hung up to ring at meal hours—clocks set up to regulate the hours of labour—the wearing of watches by the men is not prohibited—and , except in cases of urgency , the hours of labour have been limited to thirteen hours per day ; -while the kindest expressions of sympathy have been used towards the workers . This is silvery well , and as it should be ; and we trust that , now the reformation has begun , it will go sn , and that before the " Bleachers * Protection Bill" shall have come into operation , tha masters will have brought the entire system into accordancs with the principles of humanity and justice . —Glasgow Saturday Evening Post and Benfreteshin ULtfrnvar .
