  - 5 FALTH LONG Llt'K , AND HAPPINESS , SmEPBYTHATPOPPLAR MEDICINE ''^^ S kjj ^ F ^^ = ^ == ^ 1 ¦ ^ r ^ ^ ^ iT' ¦ " ¦ fl NO Medicine yet offered to tne world ever so rapidly attainedsuch distinguished celebrity : it is questionable if there be now anypsrt ofthe civilised globe where its extraordinary healing virtues have not been exhibited . This signal success is not attributable to any system of advertising , bat solely to the strong recommendations of parties cured by their use . The Proprietors « J Tart ' s life Pill ' s hare now in their possession upwards of fifteen iundred letters , several of them from Clergymen ofthe Church of England , many from distinguished - issenting Hiuisters , from gentlemen connected with the Army and Kavj , also from Members of Parliament , Merchants , and last , though not least , from members of the Medical Profeasion . and a skilful Analy tical Chemist ; all speakieg in tbeliij liest terms of the value of this inestimable medicine . This is a mass of evidence inits favour beyond all parallel . The extraordinary properties of this medicine are thus described by an eminent physician , who says , "After particular observation of the action of Parr ' s Pills , I am determined , iu my opinion , that the following are their true properties : — "First—They increase the strength , whilst most other msdicines hare a weakening effect upon the system . Let aay one take from three to four or six pills every twentyfonr hours , and instead of having weakened , they will be ftrand to have revived the animal spirits , and to have imparteo a lasting strength to the oouy . - " Secondly—In their operation they go direct , to the disease . After you have taken six or twelve pills you will experience their effect ; the disease upon you will become lo * s and less by every dose you take , and if you persevere in regularly taking from three to six pills every day , jour disease will spec&tty oe entirely removed from the «/ : tem . " Thirdly They are found after giving them a fair trial for a few -weeks to possess the most astonishing and invigorating properties , and they will overcome all obstinate complaints , and restore sound health ; there is a return of good appetite shortly from the beginning of their . use , ¦ wlulsttbeir n \ ilflni >« as a purgative is a desideratum greatly required by the weak and delicate , particularly where violent purging is acknowledged to be injurious instead of beneficial . Fourthly—As a general Family Medicine they arc areeediogly valuable , and no family should be without them ; they may be . used with perfect safety in any disease , for to every disease they are of inestimable value . 3 abn Dale , Esq ., of Manchester , Lecturer on Chemistry , and Pupil ofthe late celebrated Dr . Dalton , F . R . S ., in a letter addressed to the Proprietors in London , says ;—' I beg to state I find them worthy of being recommended to thcpublic fo rtheir efficaoy ' and simplicity , and to be really Togetablepiils , containing , as they do , nothing but what is of vegetable origin . "With this assurance the public need liavc no fear of giving them a fair trial . " Fifthly—There is no medicine ever introduced to the public thathas become so universally popular with females as Parr ' s Life Pills . For all complaints peculiar to females they are of most astonishing efficacy ; and they are confidentlyrecommended to them for general Use . A trial ofa box of these pills will at once prove the truth of this assertion . IMPORTANT TO THE PUBLIC . " We consider we are performing an act of humanity to ths community of Van Dieman ' s Xand in acknowledging tint statements have teen made to us by sereral persons who iiare taken Parr ' s Life Mis , with the most beneficial effect to them . Accounts of their efficacy have been furnished us by various individuals who hare taken them , suics the supply furnished by the patentees in England to JSr , Bowling ; but they have generally savoured so much ofthe marvellous , that we have hesitated to make the statements puWic . However , we are now satisfied from further accounts given to us , that tohesitatelonger would ba porpetratiiig an act of criminal omission to our fellowcreatures , and having taken the pills ourselves with the inost satisfactory result , we perform an act of duty only in most strongly recommending the use of them to the public at large . This we feel the more confidence in doin&knoning that under any circumstances they cannot da harm ; and our conscientious belief is , that they cannot be tiken by any person without doing him good . " —CormtaU ( Van Dieman ' s lani ) Gazette , Dec . 23 rd , J 8 « : The medicine of Old Parr is the most popular of the present day . It has been before the public only a few years ; and in this short period has firmly established itself in public favour , and has effected immense benefit to all niio Ziare obtained this inestimable medicine genuine . Hence the list of respectable names bearing evidence to the high character of this remedy , and testify , ing tpgonu the possibility of doubt the wonderful character of the medicine by the number of extraordinary and djsided cures wholly resulting from its use . This medi * cine solely by reason ot its high , character , has extended itself | o all parts of the world ; and therefore its healing virtues may justly be considered universal .

THE CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM Is intended to relieve those persons , who , by an immoderate indulgence of . their passions , hare-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 the various affections ofthe nervous system , obstinate gleets , excesses , irregularity , obstructions of certain evacuations , weakness , total impotency , barrenness , &c .

" Venereal contamination , if not at first eradicated , will often remain secretly lurking in the sjBtem for years , and , although for a while undiscovered , at length break out upon the unhappy individual in its most dreadful forms ; or else , unseen , internally endanger the very vital organs of existence . To those suffering from the consequences which this disease may have left behind In the form of secondary symptoms , eruptions of the skin , blotches on the head and face , ulcerations and enlargement of the throat , tonsils , and threatened destruction of the nose , palate , < tc , nodes on the shin bones , ; or any of those painful affections arising from the dangerous effects ofthe indiscriminate use of mercury , or the evils of an imperfect cure , the Concentrated Detersive Essence will toe found to be attended with the most astonishing effects / in checking the ravages of the disorder , removing all scorbutic complaints , and effectually re-establishing the health of the constitution . To persons entering upon the responsibilities of matrimony , and who ever had the misfortune during their more youthful days to be affected with any form of these diseases , a previous course-of this'medicine is highly essential , and of the greatest importance ; as more serious affections are visited upon an innocent wife and offspring , from a want of these simple precautions , than perhaps half the world is aware of ; for , it must be remembered , where the fountain is polluted , the streams that flow from it cannot he pure .

What a painful and noxious disease is the Files , and comparatively how few o-f the ' amieted have been permanently cured by ordinary appeals to medical skill !

Abemethy , —was by him restored to perfect health , and has enjoyed it ever since , without the slightest return of the disorder , over a ' period of fifteen years , during which time the same Abernethifcn prescription has been the means of healing a vast number of desperate cases , both in and oat of the proprietor ' s circle of friends , most of which cases had been ' under medical care , and some of them for a very considerable time .

  LONDON . Cur . Chartist Hali .. —Mr . Cooper ' s concluding lecture of Ms first series , last Sunday evening , was , as usual , well attended , though a considerable number of his customary hearers left the hall , a few minutes before eight , to listen to the eloquent Mr . Fox , who was lecturing in the National Hall , Hoiborn , on " The Purgatory of Suicides . " Mr . Cuffay , as chairman , after one of the " People-Songs" had been sung , introduced the subject ol the evening ' s discourse , and Mr . Cooper immediately commenced a brief narrative of the life of Byron , —passing to a a rapid review of his poetry ; passages from " Childe Harold , " ¦ " The Siege of Corinth , " "Don Juan , "
  
  and " The Vision of Judgment" were selected as examples of his power : some of these the lecturer read , and some he recited . The specimens from " The Vision of Judgment , " drew instant responses from the audience . ¦ : The celebrated stanzas , " Fare tb . ee well , and if for ever , " produced a powerful impression , not a few of the fairer portion of the audience shedding tears while the speaker rehearsed them . Mr . C . closed his theme with a few noble extracts from Mr . Cariyie ' s " Past and Present , " some general remarks on the literature of the age , and by an impassioned exhortation to ajl who felt an interest in human progress to unite in an energetic struggle for the complete triumph of right .
  
  DUNDEE . Mr . M'Gbatii delivered two eloquent and instructive lectures here on Monday and Tuesday , the 20 th and 21 st ult . Mr . Robert Kidd occupied the chair on the first evening , and Mr . John M'Crae on the second . The subjects were— " The Land—its capabilities , and the means of obtaining it ; " and , "The agencies which impoverish the industrious community , and the means of their removal . " The lecturer stated two important facts , which the working classes would do well to treasure carefully in their minds : first , that , according to a report of a committee of the House of Commons-, there are 67 millions of acres of cultivable land in this country , which , upon the very low estimate of two persons to each acre , would support comfortably a population of 134 millions ; and , secondly , the profitmongers
  
  actually absorb wealth to the value of £ 450 , 000 , 000 sterling , or upwards of one-half of the whole produce of the country , supposing , according to M'Queen , the annual income of the kingdom to be £ 820 , 000 , 000 or £ 830 , 000 , 000 sterling . Tnis last fact incontestibly proves the necessity of proper laws of distribution , without which the productive classes' imist go on , adding continually to the wealth of the country , while at the name time they become poorer and poorer . , At the conclusion of the lectures some objections were urged , and , questions asked , which were answered to the apparent satisfaction of the audience if not to the objectors themselves . As some have expressed a desire to join the Chartist Co-operative Land Society ; intimation is hereby given that a preliminary meeting will be held in the Association Koom , Fnllar s-close , Murraygate , on Monday , November the 10 th , at eight o ' clock in the evenin g

  CHEWEKHAM . On Monday , the 20 th inst ., I left Bristol for « .,. above place , and in the evening had an excellent meeting in a school-room adjoining an ( Mtamn chapel . Mr . Leach , a working man , was called to the chair . r lhe sub ject of the lecture was "tC Land , and how to get it . " After explaining how the aristocracy of the world became possessed of tha land , and proving the peoples' right to it , I explained the nature and objects of our society , which seemed to give general satisfaction . Some stupid fellow eofc up at the close and put some very silly questionshe was well laughed at for his pains . Mr . Millaom made some excellent remarks in favour of the small farm system , quoting the authority of parliamentary documents in support of his positions . Mr . M . was attentively listened to ; and , after he had Spoken a quantity of rules were disposed of , and the meetuV broke up . On the following day ( Tuesday ) , I pr £ ceededto
  
  BATH , where I had a very good meeting at ni ght . Th e veteran patriot , Mr , Thomas BoLwell , Was Uftaii mously chosen to preside ; and , after a sensible speech from him , I was introduced , and spoke about an hour and a half in elucidation of the Land plan and the benefits likely to accrue from its adoption by the working classes . I invited discussion , as is my usual practice , but the value of the Land is so apparent , that few have the hardihood to question it ; and as to the plan itself , it is so simple and explicit * that the only objection to it seems to be that it is too good . After the meeting had concluded I retired with the Messrs . Bolwell , and had also the company of two young men who are at present engaged as small farmers , and had the pleasure of having their approval of all that I had advanced on the
  
  capabilities of the soil . They both gave it as their opinion that a man with a family , however large , could , with moderate industry / make a very comfort , able living from two acres of ground of an average quality . They had both read Mr . O'Connor ' s worfc on small farms , and both agreed with him generally ; but neither of them approved oi his mode of stallfeeding cows . They both contended that cows fed upon grass would give much better milk than cows fed upon the diet recommended by Mr . O'Connor , though his mode of feeding would produce the greatest quantity , but the quality would 6 e inferior . I related what I had read of the experiments of , Mr , Thornton , of Huddersfield , and what I had seen at Mr . Ardill ' s , at Leeds ; but yet they seemed fully impressed with the belief that they were right , and Mr . O'Connor wrong . The next day ( Wednesday ) I wentto ¦ ¦ ¦ ' ¦ ¦¦
  
  TROWBRIDCE , a town in Wiltshire , containing a topwlatton of about twenty thousand people , all ongaged in tha manufactory of woollen cloths . Employment , I learned , was brisk amongst them ; but the weaverg expected to experience serious alterations in their work , owing to an improved loom which has been lately introduced amongst them , by which two pieces can be woven together—and when this loom becomes generally used , double the number of pieces will be made—and unless a double sale can be effected for the manufactured article , a great number of weavers Will be thrown out of employment . The price paid for weaving a single piece is tenpencehalf-penny , and two similar pieces , in the double loom , one shilling
  
  and threepence-halfpenny . The weavers have formed a union , aboutninety of them have joined , and pay one halfpenny a week into a fund , but for what purpose I could not learn . The sum is so exceedingly small , that I do not see what they can do with it . I advised them to join the National Union . I have been frequently asked about a AGuml \ vl \ wlv the Trades' Executive talked of publishing , and where it could be had . I could not give a satisfactory answer but perhaps Mr . Hobson can . A meeting was announced to take place at eight o clock , in a large room in the Market-place ; it was a bumper . The place was crammed full , as well as the avenue
  
  leading up to it . Mr . Stephens , a highly intelligent young man , was chosen to preside , and conducted the business of the meeting most satisfactorily . I explained the nature and objects of our Land movement , showed how the surplus labour in the market enabled competing capitalists to reduce the wages of the working man , and the profits of the shopkeeper . Numbers ot the middle class were present , and , I was afterwards informed , expressed themselves in favour of the movement . I enrolled several members , and several others pledged themselves to join I was highly delighted at the spirit manifested by the men ot Trowbridge .
  
  THE POTATO CROP . The failure of the potato crop will cause ruin to many , and serious loss to all concerned . Every day brings fresh tidings of wide-spread rot . I have made it my business to enquire of all whom I cotno in contact with , and learn with regret that the disease i 3 universal . The person who drove me from Trow * bridge to Bradford , informed me that a neighbour of hia had " gotin" twenty-five sacks , which , at the time , appeared quite free from the prevalent misfortune . He looked upon them as a prize . About a week afterwards , he emptied them out again , and to bis surprise and dismay found that out of the
  
  twenty-five sacks ,- he had only three that were fit tor the use even of pigs . Another person , one of the members of our Land Society , residing near Bath , has upwards of one hundred and fifty sacks rotten , a v , * 01 " me that he expected most of the others which he had by him would turn out the same way . ureat distress is expected to be the result amongst the agricultural labourers . Some landlords are returning part Of the rents to their poorer tenants who have had bad potato crops . Earl Ducie , a first-rate practical agriculturist , has , I understand , returned two-thirds of the rents paid by his tenants . This is an example worthy of imitation . —Yours , truly , Bristol , Tuesday . Thomas Clahk .
