CAUTION ! THE extraordinary demand for PARR'S LIFE PILLS has induced several shopkeepers of mean and dishonest principles , to try to impose on the incautious various counterfeits composed of the most pernicious ingredients , merely for the sake of reaping an extra profit , totally regardless of the dreadl ' ul 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 bed ground , none other can be genuine . ; -- ,- ' ..- ¦ ' / In no instance has this invaluable Medicine failed to effect a perfect care where due patience and perseverance has been exercised . Read , the following from Mrs .

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 bYsimply taking two or three boxes of Parr ' s Life Pills can walk with all the activity and freedom of perfect health . I could enumerate many other instances , but these will suface to prove the value of the Medicine in ameliorating disease and confirming health . "I remain , your obedient Servant , "For M .

BY WILLIAM HILL . The Lessons , in this Work , are intended solely for the use of natives . They are divested , therefore of all those hair ' s-breadthdistinctioHS and unnecessary subdivisions in Analogy , which , if at all useful , can only be useful td fpreignera . The soience of Grammar is disentangled , in this Work from tha folds of mysticism which have so long enshrouded it . The absurd and unmeaning technicalities , which pervade all other Works on Grammar , are exchanged for terms which have a definite and precise meaning , illustrative of the things they represent * Thei Parts of Speech are arranged on an entirely new principle , founded on a Philosophical Consideration of the Nature of Language ^ and applicable tfl > all Languages . The necessary Divisions and Subdivisions are rationally accounted for J and the Principles of Universal Grammar demonstrated , so fully that the mewiest capacity may understand them as clearly as it understands that two and two make four .: :, /¦_ . - y .

A majority of the numerous Rules given in most Grammars are shown to be little better than aheap of senselesB Tautology . The necessary Rules are demonstrated upon rational Principles , and illustrated by a variety of Example . By the IJse of this Book and its accompanying Exercises , any person may , in a few weeks , acquire a good knowledge of Grammar without any pi the disgusting drudgery , which , under the present System , prevents nine out of ten from ever acquiring a knowledge of Grammar at all . THE FOLLOWING TESTIMONIALS OF THE PRESS , Selected from a host of similar ^ nes , may convey some idea of the publio estiBttation in which thia Work is holdent— ; "Mr . Hill is evidently an original thinker . He attacks , with ability and success , the existing system of English Grammar , and points out ihe absurdities with which it is encumbered . Justly condemning the too frequent practice of making papila commit portions of Grammar to memory as tasks , he maintains that the only proper way to the memory is through the understanding . . -.. . It is but justice to him to say that , in a few pages , he gives a more clear and comprehensive view of the structure of the English language than can be found in some very elaborate works .

GIiOUCESTEB . —On Wednesday week , Mr . Campbell , © f the Executive , delivered a very able tectsre in the Chartist rooms , Worcester-street A few days previous to Mr . a coming to Gloucester , t&e CbartlBtB cSxailnaged tbe Corn Lav Iiesgue to a discussion , -which they at first accepted / bat afterwards declined ; the reason , says Mr . Joseph Stuige , the anti-Corn Law Secretary , being thai it would destroy the objects tt Jlieir agitation . PEEBLES . —At the request cf the committee of the Peebles Chartist Association , Mr . Ranken , of Edinbro " , zdelitered a leetnre in the Town-hall , on Wednesday evening ^ eek , subject— " The present state of the eonntry , its capabilities , and the prospects of the people . " Mr . Niven In the chair , The lecturer spoke two hours , detailing the miseries cf the people , and { nought forward , as the only means of placing tbem in Jfce position of freemen , the People ' s Charter .
ECCIiES . —A public discussion took place in Eccles on the Com Laws , on . Tuesday night last , betwets . Mr . S . Williams , Corn Law Repealer , and Mr . Bell , Ghar-Hsi lecturer . Mr . Andrew Ritchie "was appointed chairman for Mr . Williams , and Wm . Gathrie for Mr . Bell Mr , William Norris was chosen moderator . Mr . Williams opened the question , which was , " Will a mere repeal of the Corn Laws benefit the country at large . " He went oTer the usual arguments of the Corn law party , attributing all the distress in the country to &ese iaws , and endeavoured to prove that their repeal * rould benefit tbe working classes in particular , and if 2 bes 9 laws were not repealed soon , the middle classes ^ rould be reduced to a level with the working classes , and attributed all immorality , irreligion , and crime to the operation of these laws . Mr . Bell , in a speech of >> iif an hour , replied , and shewed to the meetinglthat
She evils of which his antagonist had spoken , could not be removed by repeal so long as cur country had eighty millions of national and local taxatian to raise , and machinery was substituted for mamiil labour '; he also quoted from M'Cullock to prove that we could not hring in foreign wheat at less than three shillings below "what it has been for the last twelve years in this county ; he also shewed up in a masterly manner , that though our maniifjctures had increased twenty fuld since the Corn Laws were imposed wa ; e 3 had decreased ; be also shewed the folly of going to the continent for our food , while so much land in our own country was capable of being cultivated . The disputants then west on alternately a quarter of an hour each , until eleven o ' clock , and at the dose a shew of hands ' was taken for each , that for Mr . Bell being carried by sis to one . The meeting then broke up .
STOTJRBRIDGE . —Mr . Mason lectured here on Wednesday and Thursday week , npon our present position as regards political power . Mr . Goodfellow moved the following resalution : — " That this meeting Relieving that the exclusion cf the working classes from ¦ political power is the ttim ?) cause of the distress so prevalent throughout this country , do pledge ourselves to use all and every lawful means in our power to cause the People ' s Charter to become the law of the land . " It was seconded by Mr , James Chance , and carried TrnymTTirmiOy .
BIRMINGHAM . —Cbaktist Lecitbe—A lecture was delivered by Mr . John Mason , Chartist lecturer , on Sunday evening last , at tbe Chartist -Boom , Aston-street . The lecture was chiefly on the late meeting at the Town Hall , and the position occupied by the middle classes , and warned his audience to be on their ¦ guard . He was warmly spplauded by an overflowing audience . Mr . Edward Browne afterwards addressed the meeting . He said he was about to depart the next day for America , being compelled to leave his native iaad on account of the bitter persecution of the middle classes . A collection was afterwards made to enable him to proceed on his journey , and , notwithstanding former differences , a general feeling of regret was expressed at his feeing forced from his home . Mr . J . Williamson also addressed the meeting . Notice was- then given that a lecture would be delivered on Tuesday evening , on behalf of the masons on strike , at the room in Freeman-street , and the meeting separated .
Chastisi Agitatios . —During the last week there has bees a continued bustle about the Midland District Messrs . Mason and White attended an open air meeting on Monday , at Darlaston , and were warmly applauded . They afterwards attended , at night , at a meeting in 3 > ndley . On Thursday Mr . White attended a Corn Law meeting at Walsall , which was crowded to suffocation . Agitation is the order of the day in this quarter , bo much so that eur Birmingham correspondent has hardly time to write a report . Messrs . White and Mason are to attend a meeting called by the Mayor , at ihe Guildhall , Worcester , on Wednesday .
SRxSTOXi . —We have been visited by the People ' s Executive , and have reason to hope that a strong impression has been made in favour of the Charter amongst the traders and working classes , by their able and eloquent addresses , which were delivered at four different meetings in the Hall of Science . Dr . M'Douall returned from Bath by request , and lectured ou Wednesday evening , the 16 th inst , at the Castle and Ball , io a numerous and respectable meeting of the trades , and on Thursday evening at the Chartists rooms , 56 , -Castie-etreet ; on both occasions the Doctor succeeded in obtaining several new members , particularly amongst the masons and other trades of the city . On Friday , a gloriona display of Chartism took piac 3 , and Bristol proved itself not inferior to any town in the Chartist
movement The cause of the excitement originated in tbe following manner : on the evening of Wednesday , and before the Doctor had scarcely finished his lecture , two of the police entered the Castle and Ball , and had an interview with the landlady , and it is said either suspended or threatened to have her license suspended , the consequence was , that although it bad b&en previously announced in the placards that the Doctor would deliver two other lectures in the same room on the following evenings , he was obliged to shift bis quarters ; the Chartists of Bristol were not to be done by the interference of tiieir own servants , and the Doctor with a jpirit which does honour to his character , declared his intention of holding a pnblic meeting on Brandon "Hill hi moonlight , on Friday evening . Time being short ,
and no opportunity of issuing placards , a band of musie ws 3 provided ; the Doctor sent a special invitation to Sir . Vincent , to Bath , to come over , and he promptly attended . The Chartists assembled in front of the Castle and Ball , paraded the city with flags and bankers , and having collected in their route as many of their frian ^ s as were attracted by the display , arrived at the Mill , a little sftsr eight o ' clock * Here the scene vas bnly gratifying for we are within the mark by stating that 10 , 000 persons were present , amongst -whom were several respectable females . Mr . Simeon was called to the chair , and having explained the reason for calling a mseting in the manner in which the present was convened , and exhorted ths thousands present to be peaceful , yet firm in . their conduct whilst they were assembled
lo asssrt their dignity , ha called upon Mr . Clifton , who proposed a resolution to the effect " " That this meeting adopt the National Petition . " It was seconded by Mr . Copp , and it is needless to say that it -was snrjported in Ike ablest manner by Dr . M'Douall and sir . Vincent ; their speeches were truly powerful and eloquent , and elicited the greatest applause . The resolution being put to the meeting , was carried unanimously ; after which cheers being given for the Charter , Frost , "Williams , and Jones , the v&it multitude formed themselves into a procession , and with band playing , flags flying , and merry hearts , marched back to their place of rendevotiz , where they separated on hearing a few words from Mr . Vincent- There was not a single person , as far as we can learn , iDJnred or insulted ; on the contrary , . the Chartists , as " merry as larks , '' or like men after a
victory , marched in prond triumph , and when tha band struck up the " Campbell s are coming , " the finftfeUows sung at the top of their voices , " the Chartists are coming , " and "OhI dear , -what can the matter be ?" and indeed so well they might , for there was not a " blue coat ' to be seen , although we must own it was unnecessary to be so cautious , for the men of Bristol are determined to have justice done them , and that too iy moral and Dot physical means . Dr .-M'Douall has laid the plan of a central committee for Bristol , mem-J > ers have been elected and sanctioned by the above meeting . The trades are enrolling themselves . in the esuse , both at the association in Castle-street and Bedminster . Mr . Tir cent has promised to hold many such meetings during summer , and every thing connected with the Charter in Bristol looks not only promisicg Jrat wears a face of bustling interest .
DUNDEE . —Mr . O'Bsiek is Dcnbee . The Ekgish AJfD Scotch P . etitio . \ s . —We had a visit from that talented advecate of the people ' s rights , Bron-Xerre O'Brien , this week . His first , lecture was announced for Monday night , in the Thistle HalL Long before the hour of meeting the hall was crammed to suffocation , and thousands were obliged to go away unable to obtain even standing room . In consequence of the weak state of his health , and the fatigue of hia journey northwards , it was full three-quarters of an hour after the time announced ( eight o ' clock ) before Mr . O'B . could make his appearance , and it may easily be judged into what state of impatience the meeting—/ Trammed together , and locked as tightly as the stones In an arch—had arrived at . Hundreds were crying
loudly to get out . It was as impossible to get out as to jet in however , and all was for a time in utter confusion In the midst of this , and just when it had arrived at its heigfit , ths patriot appeared amidst the mest deafening applause . Mr . Wm . Davidson was unanimously called to the chair , who briefly introduced the lesturer , who commenced apologising for detaining the meeting so long af : er the hour . It appeared that he had not been made acquainted with the proper tisae , cr he "Would upon no condition whatever have detained them . If I am made aware at any time , add Mr .

betwixt one of their mushroom , patriots and . an old conning and crafty aristocracy , showing bow easily the former was mads to yield to tbe deep , laid plots of tbe latter . We have heard no stranger , in addressing an audience with -whom he must have been unacquainted , make a happier hit than this was . Several who surrounded him upon the hustings might have learned their political characters frem his lips . Indeed one or two of these lads have materially damaged onr cause here , and are still persisting in their mischievous and childish course . It was evident from the appearance which Mr . O'Brien presented , that he could not continue , and he was obliged , after speaking about fifteen minutes , to give way , completely exhausted . Mr . John Duncan rose , and in his UBual able and effective manner
addressed them for some time , when the lecturer again resumed , and finished a highly instructive and eloquent address . But then came came the tug of war . The conduct of the Glasgow delegate meting in rejecting the National Petition , has been the means of creating much discontent here , and that discontent was heghtened by a knowledge of the fact that the delegates assembled ( many of whom are excellent men ) did not fairly represent Scotland . The Glasgow districts swamped the meeting by the numbers they returned . One of the Aberdeen delegates was returned at a meeting , the price of admission to which amounted to a prohibition tax to all except the middle class . The Forfarshire delegate acted in such a manner in Dandee npon several public questions that he was afraid to oppose Mr . Duncan at
the election , although he had been nominated months before . Mr . Duncan himself was elected by Borne fifty or sixty persons . ' We do not mean by any means to insinuate from this that there was anything wrong connected with tbe election of Mr . D ., or that he would not have been returned , had it been a large meeting . We rather are of opinion that he waald have been ' * the man" under any circumstances . But we are certain that a large meeting would have given him different instruction about how he was to act in Glasgow regarding this matter . It was agreed that the Scotch ( as it iB termed ) and the National Petitions should be Bubsiitted after Mr . O'Brien bad finished his address . Accordingly , Mr . Peterkin , delegate to Glasgow from Forfarahire , rose and moved the adoptioa of the
Scotch or Glasgow Petition , -which was , of course , supported by Mr . "Duncan . Mr . Henry and Mr . James Lowe supported the adoption of the " National . " It was here suggested by Mr . O'Brien to submit both to the people , and leave them in signing it to judge for themselves . Mr . M'Pherson moved that this plan be adopted , which was seconded . After considerable discussion , the motion and amendments were severally put , and an immense number of hands were held up for all of them . Many are of opinion that the National Petition had the greatest number . The Chairman , however , declared that the National Petition was lost , and then took a show of hands for the ethers . This gave the Glasgow " mare's nest" the complete go by—the submitting of both to the people being carried by an overwhelming majority . So Dundee is to have a couple of
documents submit tad to their consideration , and for their signatures . For various reasons we caauot much approve of this . It has all the appearance , we think , of division in the camp . Like a house divided against itself . We cannot help here stating our conviction that , this plan being suggested by Mr . O'Brien , a Dumber supported it out of compliment to that gentleman . Had the question bren left to its own merits , the Glasgow document would not have had the slightest chance La competition with that put out by the Executive CouncU . Another thing connected with this matter we intended to refer to at some length , namely , that of the Scotch petition having been read at length to the meeting , while the other was objected to inconsequence of the time it would occupy in reading ; while those objecting put off more time in speechifying upon the subject that it might have been twice read in . We will see which of the petitions get the most signatures .
Mb . O'Bbien lectured on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings to crowded houses . On Thursday a social entertainment was held , which was well attended . On Friday evening , he was challenged to a debate by a Socialist (?) named Anderson ; and our semi-Socialist , semi-Chartist , and semi-everything else , Mr . Peterkin . Bat such a debate ! It reminded us of a lion sporting with a pair of monkeys . If our Dandee amateurs were not satisfied , everybody else seemed to be so . We have not enjoyed such a laughing treat for many a long day .
COVENTRY . —Chartism Tbicmphamx !——On Tuesday last , a meeting of the inhabitant * of this city was convened by tbe Mayor , to take place in the County Hall , at ten o ' clock in the forenoon , to take into consideration , the propositions made by Sir It . Peel , in the House of Commons , on the Corn Laws , and to adopt resolutions in favour of a total repeal of those obnoxious and iniquitous laws . No sooner did these bills make their appearance , than the Chartists came to the determination to oppose the Com Law party of this town . A handbill was issued by the Council of the Charter Association , headed " Justice to one and all , " censuring the Mayor and Sheriff for their conduct , to the deputation which waited upon these gentlemen a few days previous , and showing that the middle classes
were afforded every facility to express their opinions , and to bring them with ferce under the consideration of the Government . It called upon the working men of Coventry to be present at the meeting , and pursue such a course of policy on that occasion as would become the character of Englishmen , as patriots to their eonntry , as lovers of their homes , and as ardent friends of pure and just government The appearance of this bill created very great excitement and caused hundreds to attend * the meeting expecting the Chartist * and Repealers would come in collision with each other . The Hall capable of holding 2 , 000 , was filled in less than five minutes after the doors were thrown open Mr . Wittem was called to the chair . During tbe Chairman ' s address , Mr . John Mason accompanied by
several of the Council , made his appearance amid the cheering of the working men , who instantly made way to admit Mr . Mason and his Chartist friends , to where the Corn Law gentry sat The first resolution was proposed by Mr . D . Smith , seconded by Mr . D . Buckney , condemning the Com Laws as unjust , &c . The next resolution was pioposed by Mr . N . Taunton , seconded by Mr . Cash , attributing the evils that efflict this country to class legislation , thatnothiog short of a fall , free , and complete representation of the whole people in the Commons House of Parliament , could remove the evils under which they suffer . Mr . Mason begged permission of the Chairman to speak , ( the chairman nodded assent . ) Mr . Mason then rose and spoke for more than an hour in one continued strain of thrilling eloquence , showing the snperiority of the Charter Agitation over all others . He defended the rights of labour , condemned Sir R . Peel ' s sliding scale and Lord
John ' s fixed cuty and finished a speech that completely electrified his hearers by proving that nothing short of the People ' s Charter , can er would benefit the country . At the conclusion of his speech , the cheering and clapping of hands was deafening and lasted for as much as five minutes . At least three-fourths of the meeting were thorough-going Chartists , and a resolution was proposed by Mr . Hoey , and seconded by Mr . George Gilbert , " That this meeting do adjoum , and that the Mayor be requested to allow them the use © f the Hall , to discuss the five points of the Charter . " After the meeting , Mr . Whittem , Mr . C Bray , and 3 Ir . D . Buckney waited upon the Mayor , who granted tbe use of the Hall by g-ving him two day ' s notice . The meeting is to take place on Monday next , when the working men of this town would be highly gratified by a visit from Mr . O'Connor . The Association increases in strength . We have adopted the National Petition , and shall get it signed by at least 10 , 000 persons
We had a visit from two of the Executive , Messrs . Campbell and Leach , on Thursday night , which highly gratified the men of this place . HALIFAX . —A delegate meeting was held at this place on Sunday last , when delegates were present from the following places : —Halifax , Sowerby , Ripponden , Xuddenden , Lower TVarley , Ovenden , and Mixenden . The following resolutions were unanimously adopted , Mr . B . Rushton in the chair : —" That one-fourth of the contributions be handed in every month , if required , to establish a District Fund , for the sending of lectnrers t © those places where they have not yet joined in the glorious cause . " " That any lecturer , wishing to visit this district , shall correspond with the District Secretary to that effect , and await his answer . " " That all lecturers will be requested to produce their
credentials from the sub-Secretary of the Association they profesa to belong to . " " That Mr . James Chippendale be appointed District Secretary , whose address is 31 , South-street , Halifax .

" " That all petition-sheets that are now out for signature be brought in to the Secretary for the district by the 6 th of March . " " That a levy of threepence per member be made for the support of theforthcoming Convention , to be handed in on the 6 th of March . " " That the next delegate meeting be held a » Ripponden , en the 20 th of March , in the Charter Association Room , at two o'clock in the afternoon , when ihe attendance of delegates from those localities that have not yet joined the district are particularly requested . "
SWANSEA . —A requisition was presented to the mayor of this town , by the working classes , to convene a meeting in the Town Hall to express their opinions on the Corn Laws , and extension of tho franchise . The mayor ( a really liberal man ) appointed Thursday evening last , and the business of the meeting commenced at seven o ' clock , and such was the densly crowded state of the spacious hall that the intended speakers had much difficulty in obtaining situations from which to address the meeting ; indeed , the Rev . J . Jenkins , M . A ., who intended to support the petition for Universal Suffrage , Tote by Ballot , and the
Abolition of Property Qualification , was unable to . get into the meeting , and was obliged to remain in the Judge ' s Room , behind thechsir , until the mayor retired from the chair , which , gate him the opportunity to enter , and in seconding the vote of thanks to the mayor to express , his sentiments , though not at such length as he intended . ' Hundreds returned , unable to get admission . The proceedings passed off in admirable order , and the effect has been to produce an extensive revolution in the general opinion respecting our principles Viewed as a preliminary meeting , it is of very greai importance . It was understood to be a Chartist rmyement , but tbe resolutions and petition adopted bj

That the collectors be famished with books , headed by the chairman , to enter the names of those persons who are favourable to the carrying on of the association ; and that the money . be paid over to the treasurer weekly .

throughout thewholo meeting . Oar large room capable of holding 1000 persons was crowded to suffocation ; he was most happy in giving a delineation of church , law , and state , which brought forth rapturous applause . In the evening , we were honoured by the services of Mr . Campbell , the justly appreciated Secretary to the Executive ; who in delineating the workings of the laws of mother church and primogeniture , was most happy and humourous . He was followed up by Mr . Duffy , who completely killed the Whigs and prepared a political grave , for the Tories , fiuishing up at the end of lecture , by taking his pen in his hand , and never stirring while an unenrolled person stood .
Last Shift of the Truckling Whigs . —Wehad another attempt made by the Corn Law clique on Friday , to gull the brave Chartists of this . town . In compliance with a hole-and-corser meeting previously concocted , they issued printed invitation cards to their friends , stating that a meeting of the Free-trade Association of Bilston would be held in their sanctorum , stating that each invited guest was at liberty to bring a friend with them ; our brave fellow' 3 get scent of their move , and determked to meet them on their own dunghill , in pursuance sf which a good muster attended at an early hour to gain admittance , but not being furnished with the printed invitation cards , they were considered unwashed , and not fit to mustar with the cl : que .- ' . of
respectables . Our noble army of patriots , however , soon made their appearance in such numbers , as induced the broad-cloth gentry to throw open the doors of the sanctorum , which in a fow minutes was densely thronged by Chartists of the real stamp , with blistered hands and unshorn chins . Mr . Bew , chapelwarden , was called to the chair . After some remarks , he stated that the business of tho meeting was entirely intended to communicate information to the Free-trade Association of Bilston only ; and as their business was merely of a local nature , and as parties were admitted out of mere courtesy , that were not members of their association he hoped , they would not hit er fere with the resolutions he had to put , which were for the extension of trade , to relievo the working classes , and for theabolition of alJnioapolies . Here the meeting became uproarious , when Mr .
John Stirau rose , and , Bilence being restored , proceeded to give the Com Law Clique a severe and honest castigation for their sins of commission and omission , for their last ten years of misrule , not forgetting the odious Poor Law , Irish Coercion Bill , their political hanging , gagging , and transportation Bills , &c . &c . —summing up the whole by declaring that this meeting do pledge themselves never to join in any agitation whatever that has not for its basis tho Charter , with its five points unadulterated ; and , being persuaded that class legislation is the cause of all the nation ' s evils , we are determined never to cease agitating , until the Charter becomes the law of the land—then , and then only , shall the nation be freed from the Corn Laws , and all other bad laws . The speaker went on to prove to a demonstration that all the twaddle now made use of
was part and parcel of that resorted to by' Finality John , " when he and his comrades were about being kicked out of office . At the conclusion of the address , the Chairman promised to meet Mr , Stiran at a future time , and publicly d : scus 3 the merits of the Corn Laws , to which Mr . Stiran assented , and the meeting then separated . Thb cause of D . kmocbacy progresses daily ; Mr . Duffy lectured here on Thursday mght , and gave a soul-stirring discourse . He stopped in the room until he actually enrolled with bis own hand all tho half-decided Chartists . This is news worth telling , and worth copying after ; and , still glorious to relate , we haye opened a British Chartist School for boys and girls , conducted by a master and governess of the true Republican School . With such a prospect before us , have wo not achieved £ reat things , whereof we kare great cause to be clad 1

TO THB AFFLICTED WITH SCURVY , VENEREAL , OB SYPHILITIC DISEASES , EHKUMATISM , AKD NEBVOU 3 OR SEXUAL DEBILITY . MR . M . WILKINSON SURGEON ^ &c . 13 , Trafalgar Street Leeds . And every Thursday , at No . 4 , George Street , Bradford , HAVING devoted his studies for many years exclusively to the various diseases of the generative and nervous system , in the removal of those distressing debilities arising from a secret indulgence in a delusive and destructive habit , and to the successful treatment of VENEREAL AND SYPHILITIC DISEASES , Continues to be consulted from nine in the morning till ten at night , and on Sundays till two , —and country patients requiring his assistance , by making only o » e personal visit , will receive such advice and medicines as will enable them to obtain a permanent and effectual cure , when all other means haye failed . In recent cases of a certain disorder a perfect cure is completed in one week , or no charge made for medicine after that period , and in those cases where other praotititioners have failed , a perseverance in his plan , without restraint in diet , or hindrance from business , will ensure to the patient a permanent and radical cure . It frequently happens that in moments of thoughtlessness a person imbibes a disease where suspicion is least likely to be excited ; this state of security leads to a want of caution which aggravates the nature of the complaint . But where immediate application is made , the corroding poison is checked in its infancy , smothered ere it takes root , and destroyed before its venom can . effect : & perceptible appearance in the system . —Where the disease has been allowed to exist and remain , the more cause have we to fear the undermining influence of this poison , and a mere removal of its external appearance is not to be depended upon ; a thorough cure must be achieved to prevent a return of the disease , and leave the system free from all infection . A complete knowledge of the symptoms and treatment of these insidious and dangerous diseases , can only be acquired by those who are in daily practice , and have previously gone through a regular course of Medicai . Instruction ; for * unfortunately , there are hundreds who annually fall victims to the ignorant use of Mercury and other dangerous remedies , administered by illiterate men who ruin the constitution by suffering disease to get into the system , which being carried by the circulation of the blood into all parts of the body , the whole frame becomes tainted with venereal poison , and most unhappy consequences ensue , at one time affecting the skin , particularly the head and face , with eruptions and ulcers , closely resembling , and often treated as scurvy at another period producing the most violent pains in the li sabs and bones , which are frequently mistaken for rheumatism ; thus the whole frame becomes debilitated and decayed , and a lingering death puts a period to their dreadful sufferings . ' - ;/¦ What a grief for a young person in the very prime of life , to be snatched out of time , and from all the enjoyments of life , by a disease always local at firstj and which never proves fatal if properly treated , as all its fatal results are owing either to neglect or ignorance / ^ ¦ -.. ' ¦ •;¦ ''' ¦ ::: . : ¦ ; . ' ¦ _ " / :. ' ,:. . / '¦ . " - . - ' . " ¦ . ' ¦ ' Mr . W .
