TO Open the Eyes of the Deluded World , I ask will any Medical Gentleman , from any quarter , contrast the honesty and success of his Practice , as Surgeon , Physician , and Accoucheur , with that cf mine , during the Ia 3 t Twenty-eight Years 1 Surely this is the right way to test merit , medicine , and men . Thank Providence that all honest Lawyers and Doctors , and Clergy , are no longer my Persecutors , and their own enemies , but , like other honest men , as their grateful letters to me , to publish their Cures , amply testify—are acknowledging the necessity of Universal Suffrage in Medicine , as in Politics , iu order to establish the Health of Mankind . FIRST LETTER . To Dr . Greer , of Glasgow . Dear Sir , —It is with peculiar pleasure that I add my testimony to that of many others in favour of your trvJy valuable medicines . 1 have used them myself , given them to my family , and , of late , administered them to my patients ; and , in every case , tbe result haa been 60 very good , that , approving , as I now do , of the Hygeian principles of Medicine , and Medical Practice , I have come to the resolution of using no other Medicines in my Practice than your ' s—being convinced that they will be always attended by the happiest results . I am , Sir , Your obedient Servant , James Thompson , Surgeon , Busby . The nest latter will be from an honest writer . Caution , —Since I conscientiously resigned , seven years ago , my lucrative situation , as Professor to the British College of Health , London—( see Morisaaiana , 1834)—when I , by the approbation of the late James Morison , Esq ., Hygeist , and upwards of 10 , 000 converts to Hygeianism , ( who had read my review of the Pharmacopise , ) improved the Universal Medicine , and reduced its price—I have bo connection with the conflicting parties , who sell what each call Morison ' s Pills—nor with any , but my own Medicines , which , after seven years' trial in every disease , of young , and old , on sea and land , of a public or a private nature , stand unequalled for Safety and Successful Cures ; and which require only one trial , to be appreciated . Dr _ - G ?* 1 % wllbe Prepared in London , and / M 102 ; South Portland-street , and 62 , Nelsonstreet , Glasgow , by himself and six sons . They are Sold in Boxes at Is . 3 d ., 2 s . 9 d ., 43 . 6 d ., lls .. and Packets for Exportation , and Sea Captains . All stamped by Gavernment . General Agents and Shippers receive large per centage . It being quite impossible I can faithfully reply to all correspondents , without a clerk , therefore , it is expected that all Strangers will send Enclosures who wish the best Medicine and Advice from me , who has given up all out-door practice for this purpose . James Gbebb , Professor of Hygeianism . No . 1 , has White , and No . 2 , Green Labels on the Box Lids . N . B . —The Essence of my Xo . 1 , Pills circulates Seven Hundred Times of tener through the Blood than that of No . 2 , and is perhaps the most Exhilarating Tonic ever discovered ; and the Essence of my No . 2 Pills doe ? not , like that of other streng Purgatives , carry the food out of the BowcIb , before the lacteals take up its nourishment into the Blood ; but h affords , ( and allays the most acute inflammatory pain also ) full time for tho Patient to be nourished by his food—so that eating well and digesting , and sleeping better , i 3 the result of using my Pills Thi 3 thousands of people testify .

CAUTION I rTIHE extraordinary demand for PARR'S LIFE A . PILLS has induced several Bhopkeepera of mean and dishonest principles , to try to impose on the inoautious various counterfeits composed of the most pernicious ingredients , merely for the sake of reaping an extra profit , totally regardless of the dreadful consequences which must ensue . Observe , that each Box of the genuine Medicine has pasted round it the Government Stamp , on which is engraved these words , PARR'S LIFE PILLS in white letters on a red gnund , none other can be genuine . In no instance has this invaluable Medicine failed to effect a perfect cure where due patience and perseverance has been exercised . Read the following from Mrs . Moxon , York : — 11 York , Sept . 7 , 1841 . w Gentlemen , —We shall feel obliged by your repeating tho last order for Parr ' s Life Pills , and forwarding immediately by pickford ' s Rails . Instances of extraordinary cures are continually occurring to us by their agency . One woman who had been reduced almost to the last stage of existence by extreme asthma , was , by taking two or three boxes , restored to health . Another instance is a man who had been confined to his bed by rheumatism for sixteen weeks ; quite incapacitated for walking ; but by simply taking two or three boxes of Parr s Life Pills can walk with all the actirity and free ' dom of perfect health . I could enumerate many other instances , but these will suffice to prove the value of tho Medicine in ameliorating disease and confirming health . "I remain , your obedient Servant , " For M .

Your celebrated Pills have completely restored me to health ; and I beg you will make this acknowledgment public , for the benefit of others similarly afflicted . 1 shall be happy to answer inquiries , either made personally , or by letter ( postpaid ) , addressed as above .

To the memory of OLD PARLv , written on the discovery of his last Will and Testament , in which is contained the method of preparing his infallible Medicine , for conquering disease , and prolonging human life . O , venerable Parr , lo , trumpet fame Again calls forth thy long-forgotten name ; Mortal of many years ! how West the plan Thy mighty secret does reveal to man . From this auspicious hour shall evil cease , Mourning to joy shall turn , —discord to peace . Thy benign remedy to man gives power To lengthen out on earth his " little hour , " Disease to conquer , anguish drive away , And sickly sorrow change to joyous day ; Despair to banish from tho dying man A God-like gift ! O do not lightly scan A boon so great , nor wisdom ' s purpose mar : God gave the power—his instrument was Parr .

" Gentlemen , — Since I undertook the agency of this popular Medicine , I can with truth aver , that it has , to my own knowledge , been a very great blessing to scores of persons in this town and neighbourhood . Indeed , so numerous are the testimonials to the virtues of Parr ' s Pills in the cure of inveterate disease , that many persons who had been quite hopeless of any relief , have obtained a permanent and perfect cure . To particularise would be useless , the cases are so numerous . One person wa 3 cured of a bad leg of fifteen years' duration ; another of Rheumatism of ten years' standing ; others of Asthma , &c . &c . These are among the Cures ; and numerous are the cases of Relief in Bilious aud Liver Complaints , Sick Head-ache , Coughs , Colds , and Diseases of the Stemach and Digestive Organs , &c .

Just published , in Demy 8 vo ., BY MESSRS . PERRY & Co ., CONSULTING SURGEONS , 44 , Albion Street , Leeds , ( Private Entrance in the Passage , ) and 4 , Great Charles Street , Birmingham , ILLUSTRATED BY EIGHT FINE ENGRAVINGS , THE SILENT F 211 END , A PRACTICAL TREATISE on Venereal and Syphilitic Diseases , in their mild and most alarming forms , shewing the different stages of those deplorable and often fatal disorders , including observations on the baneful effects of Gonorrhoea , Gleets , and Strictures . The Work is embellished with Engravings , representing the deleterious influence of Mercury on the external appearance of the skin , by eruptions on the head , face , and body ; to which are added very extensive observations on sexual debility , seminal weakness , and impotency , brought on by a delusive habit , all its attendant sympathies anddangerous consequences considered , with the most approved mode of treatment and cure , without confinement or interruption from business , the whole accompanied by explanatory engravings , with general instructions for the perfect restoration of those who are incapacitated from entering into the holy state of Marriage , by the evil consequences arising from early abuse , or syphilitic infection . This invaluable Work will be seoretly inclosed with each box of Perry ' s Purifying Specific Pill ' s , ( Price 2 s . 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d ., and lls . ) and the Cordial Balm of Syriacum ( Price lls . and 33 a . per bottle ) , and is pointed out to suffering humanity as a Silent Friend , to be consulted without exposure , and with assured confidence of success . PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS , Price 2 s . 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d ., and lls . per Box , arc well known throughout Europe and America , to be the most certain and effectual cure ever discovered for every stage and symptom of the Venereal Disease , in both sexes , including Gonorrhoea , Gleets , Secondary Symptoms , Strictures , Seminal Weakness , Deficiency , and all diseases of the Urinary Passages , without loss of time , confinement , or hindrance from business . They have effected the most surprising cures , not only in recent and severe cases , but when salivation and all other means have failed ; and when an early application is made to these Pills for the cure of tho above complaint , frequently contracted in a moment of inebriety , the eradication is generally completed in a few days . The rash . fhdiseriniinate , and unqualified use of Mercury , ha 3 been productive of infinite mischief ; under the notion of its being an antidote for a certain disease , the untutored think they have only to saturate their system with Mercury , and the business is accomplished . Fatal error ! Thousands are annually either mercurialised out of existence , or their constitutions so broken , and the functions of nature so impaired , as to render tho residue of life miserable . The disorder we have in view owes its fatal result either to neglect or ignorance ^ In , the first stage it is always local , and easy to be extinguished by attending to the directions fully pointed out in the Treatise , without the smallest injury to the constitution ; but when neglected or improperly treated , a mere local affection will be converted into an iriourable and fatal malady . What a pity that a young man , the hope of his country and the darling of bis parents , should be snatched from all the prospeots and enjoyments of'life by the consequences of one unguarded moment , and by a disease which is not , in its own nature , fatal , and which never proves so if properly treated . It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to this horrid disease , owing ' to the unskiUulness of ^ Uerate men ; who , by tbe use ot u . a' deadly

These Pills ar » mild tuad effectual in their operativn , without mercury , # r mineral , and require ; no restraint in diet , Iosb of . time , or hindrance froai business : possessing the power of eradicating every symptom of thediseaaein its * worst stage , with «« fc tha least exposure to the patient ; they are particularly recoBmended to b « taken before persons enter into the matrimonial state , lest the indiscretions of a parent are the source of vexation to him the remainder of his existence , by afflicting his innocent but unfortunate offspring with the evil eruptions » f a malignant tendency and a variety of other complaints that are most assuredly introduced by the same neglect and imprudence . It is only by purifying the vital stream from insidious disease , that the body can b # preserved ia health and vigour . Hence the infinite variety o { complaints an infected state of the blood induces , and hence the new and deceptive forms a tainted habit puts on , which often deoem the most eminent of the faculty , and baffle the best intentions towards a curs . In those disorders wherein salivation has left the patient nncured , weak , and disheartened , aad when no other remedy could restore the unhappy sufferer to that health which he has unfortunately lost , ihe Purifying Specific Pills will be found the only effectual and radical remedy ; and have ever been successful , though administered in many desperate cases of Evil , Scurvy , and Leprosy , as well aa removing Pimples from tha Face , Sore Legs , or other disagreeable Eruptions on the head , face , and body .

Attendance every Thursday at No . 4 , George * street , Bradford , ( from Ten till Five . ) In recent cases a perfect Cure is completed within a Week , or no Charge made for Medicine after that : period , and Country Patients , by making only oai personal visit , will receive such Advice and Medi * oinesthat will enable them to obtain a permanent and effectual Cure , when all other means haw failed .

As this Disease is one which is likely to be contracted whenever exposure takes place , it is not like manj other visitors , once in life , but , on tho contrary , one infection may scarcely have been removed , whett another may unfortunately be imbibed ; therefore , 'the practitioner requires real judgment in order to treat each particular case in such a manner as not merely to remove the present attack , but to preserve the constitution unimpaired , in case of a repetition at no distant period . The man of experience can . ayail himself of the greatest improvements in modern practice ,-by beingableto distinguish between discharges of a speoific and of a simple or nuW nature , which , can oaly be made by one in da" ? practice , after due consideration of all circumstance 3 - In the same manner at birth , appearances often take placo in children , which call for a propel knowledge and acquaintance with the disease , n > order to discriminate their real nature , and wiuco ^~ may be the means of sowing domestic discord , unles * managed by the Surgeon with propriety and skw » Patients labouring under this disease , cannot be too cautious into whose hands they commit themselves . The propriety of this remark is abundantly manifested , by the same party frequently passing tne ordeal of several practitioners , before he is tow ' nate : enough to obtain a perfect cure . The following are some of the many symptoms that distinguun this disease : —A general debility ; eruption on tnfl head , face , and body ; ulcerated soro throats » scrofula , swellings iu iha neck , nodes on the snia bones , cancers , fistula , pains in the head and limbSt which are frequently mistaken for rheomatisB * & $ . &c .

MinDLXSBRO ' . —The disenssion on the . Corn Laws was resumed last Tnesday evening , and was kept np with great spirit for nearly two hours . The speaking was chiefly confined between Mr . Holenshead , a Chartist , and Mr . Bormond , a grocer , &c , the . latter observing that he thought hB knew a deal about the workings of this law , and proceeded to Rive a very lively description of the evils resulting from them . At the conclusion of his address , he hoped ihe Chartists would at once endeavour to have them repealed , and waa about to move a resolatioa to that effect , when Mr . Anderson stept forward , and said that he regretted ho had not been in at tne commencement of the discussion , as it deprived him » f taking a part , as he would liked to have done ; but , ahhough he had not taken a prominent part in
the business of this evening , he had heard nothing to induce him to change his opinion . ( Hear , hear . ) He would , therefore , move the same resolution as he had done on the previous evening . The resolution was to the effect— " That the Corn Laws , and every other bad law ought to be repealed , but , ' in order 10 make a lasting benefit to the working classes of this country , it ought to be accompanied with an extension of the franchise to the limits contained in ihe People ' s Charter , so that when the poor man got a cheap loaf , he might have a vote to keep it in his possession . " ilr . Bormond opposed this resolution , as he said it involved another question .

I £ EDS . —Oq Sunday last , in the absence ef Mr . Martin , Mr . J . Smith delivered aa address to a l * r % e audience . On Monday night , we had aa address from Mr . Duffy . The audience was numerous , indeed the room was completely crowded ; but the best of all was , that Mr . Duffy , aad a great maay more Roman Catholics were enrolled as members , amounting , altogether , to sixteen in number . This is the way ihe Repealers ought to do . HALIFAX . CCoiwoB Dbmoxstbatiok . —The committee appointed for the carrying out of the O'Connor Demonstration , most respectfully call npoa the different trades of this town to fellow the example of their brethren in other parts , by joining in the demonstration , and showing their attachment to that cause which alone can better the condition ef the labouring community . The committee meet every
Tuesday evening , at the Chartist Lecture Room , Swan Coppiee . Those wishing to take part will be kind enough to communicate with the committee The Third Distriot Delegate Meeting for the Demonstration , will be holden is their room , on Sunday the 3 rd of October , at two o ' clock in the afternoon , at which Delegates are expected from all the surrounding villages . Various resolutions have been passed at the former meetings . One and all seem dtteraiaed that the united energies of the whole of this district be put into active operation , to aeon re a glorious and triumphal entry of that tried friend and champion of the people ' s rights , F . O'Connor , Esq ., into this district , and engrave on the hearts of our en « mies the justice as well as necessity of yielding to us those rights which they have so long and s © wrongfully withhelden from us .
Chartism , at this place , is progressing most gloriously . The workiDg classes are beginning to see that there is no remedy for the evils under which they groan , save in the people ' s Charter , and numbers are coming forward to enrol their names in our Association . WINDY BANK . —Mr . Marsden lectured in the Chartist News-room here , fully exposing the manifold evils of the present system of class legislation , and strongly recommending a union of efforts to obtain the Char ^ r , as the only means to destroy that power and bring happiness to the people . At the conclusion , three cheers were given to F . O'Connor , and three to Frost , Williams , and Jones .
SKXPTOK .- —Mr . Knowles , from Ketghley , delivered a lecture here on Saturday , the 18 th iast ., in the Temperance Hall , which was well attended The lecturer animadverted in severe terms on the selfishness of the middle-class ; he did not spare the working men for the apathy they have shown in this part of the country , ie forwarding the great and glorious cause ; he exhorted them to do their duty , and spoke in the most happy manner on the necessity of union . Although this town is the hot-bed of Whiggery and Toryism , there is a democratic feeling springing up in the minds of the
working classes . There are numbers who would speak out their sentiments on this subject , but dare not for fear of tho consequences , as all are , more or less , under the influence of Whig or Tory cotton lords . There are a few , however , who know their rights , and knowing dare maintain them . An Association was established on Saturday night , September 25 th , with every prospect of success ; and we hope the men cf Skipton and surrounding villages will rally round us in this our glorious undertaking , and let the tyrants know that the days of their despotic misrule are fast drawing to a close .

Hetherington . " HORTOW , keab Bsadpohd . —On Wednesday night last , a stranger called at the house of Mr . Tordoff , the Hare Inn , Horton , about tea o ' clock , and called for a glass of ale , and something to eat ; the landlord supplied him with it , and during the time the stranger was partaking of it , the dog belonging to the house went under the table , ana the

He had not been gone rerjloDg before the dog showed symptoms of great illness , and in less than an hour expired . The landlord on seeing that his dog was dead suspected that hishouso was going to be broken into and accordingly prepared for an encounter .

I am delighted indeed , at the prospect oE being . soon joined ( for I think it cannot be long ) by the whole disinterested people of Ireland in our righteous demand , for the privilege of governing ourselves . . . The common enemy 1 b now dominant ; and the same power that lifted him up is equally potent to pull him down ; but he must be pulled down , on this occasion , upon a principle that will keep him down . He has got « p , not from any opposition on the part of the people to reform , real reform ; bat from sheer disgust on the part of the people at the treachery and monstrous profligacy of the Whigs .
Again most sincerely thanking you for the put you are now acting , and greatly hopeful that through your exertions and the exertions of you brother Chartists , the hard working , industrious people of Ireland may be relieved from the baleful domination of that trafficking band of villains who have so long been making a spoil of their sufferings , and sincerely praying that you may live to see the day when the people of Ireland may have some reason to be contented—having well-covered tables and well-covered backs . I remain , My dear Sir , Your friend , and the friend of Ireland , James Moib . 174 , Gallowgate , Glasgow , 14 th Sept , 1841 .

TO MR , PATRICK O'HIGGINS . JIt Deas Sir , —Although a total stranger to you , I scarcely deem it necessary to make a formal apology for thus addressing you . My object in 'writing to you is to thank you , ¦ which I do with most heartfelt sincerity , for the noble and also courageous effort "which yen are now making to rub the film from off the eye * of yotr "warni-bearttd , generous , but too-coufiding countryman . 2 , Imj a time , Sir , while prosecuting the causo of Gur country ' s freedom , have 1 been forced to exclaim in bitterness 0 ! spirit , will the people of Ireland never be able ta see the delusion ¦ which is being practised upon them . My joy is indeed great at the appearance of the day Etar of their political salvation beginning to da ~ wn upon them . Although , Sir , I have not forgotten the
disgraceful treatment of Mr . Lowery when sent on a friendly mission as the representative of the people of England and Scotland , to greet the people of Ireland with the right hand of fello \ rehip , and " to * requesS their eo-operaticn for equal rights and privileges by every legal , peaceful , and constitutional means . Neither , Sir , am I ignorant of tbe impudent offer , that was made by the chief of the moral-force men of Ireland , of 500 . IQ 6 fighting men , to put us down . Ah ! my dear Sir , I also know tliat we are at present in the very position that -would enable us to return the compliment ; but there is no wretch base enough , no damned villain with a heart black enough to make the proposition ; if there were , I am convinced the people of Scotland would spurn the wretch from their society , and on his off-going would cover him with saliva in utter disgust at bis heartless proposition .
The people of tiiis country have no interest in opposition to that of their Irish brethren ; they ssk no privilege far themselves that they do not demand for the people of Ireland ; although they have been treated by a set of unprincipled , trafficking politicians in your country , as if they had . I know the use that has been made of cry of the physical force , ( by the very same men who carried the Reform Bill by threats of physical force the most palpable and most direct , ) for the purpose of deterring the people of Ireland from having anything to do with tbe Chartists of Scotland and England . Yes , my dear Sir , and I have lived to see the day when one of those very men—and no less a personage than O'ConnelPs pacificator-general—should boast , in open day , of the facility with which a million of Irish pikes could be manufactured . To be used , I Euppose , by the moral-force-men par excellence . Out upon the disgusting hypocrisy of Buch swaggering , fireeating , bravadoes as these .
The people of this country are real genuine moralforce men ; not s single breach of the peace , so far a I know , has been committed by them since the commencement of their agitation for Universal Suffrage , fcc . Not that they are cowards , for they have been both flattered and bullied to detsr them from the pursuit of their object , but altogether without effect . The Chartists occupy the whole field of public opinion in this country , and they are entitled to it , for they ask nothing that is not just , and they use no means for the obtainment of their object but those of a directly peaceful , legal , and constitutional charaeter .
