THE CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM Is a gentle stimulant and renovator of the impaired functions of life , and is exclusively directed to the cure of such complaints as arise from a disorganiza .-tioa of the Generative System , whether constitutional or acquired , loss of sexual power , and debility arising from Syphiltic disease ; and is calculated to afford decided relief to those who , by early indulgence in solitary habits , have weakened the power a of their system , and fallen into a . state ef chronio debility , by which the constitution is left in a deplorable state , and that nervous mentality kept up whichplaces the individual in a state of anxiety for the remainder of life . The consequences arising from this dangerous practice are not confined to its pure physical result , but branch to moral ones ; leading the excited , deviating mind into a fertile field of seductive error —into a gradual but total degradation of manhoodinto a pernicious application of those inherent rights which nature wisely instituted for tho preservation , of her species ; bringing on premature decripitude , and aU the habitudes of old age : —such a one carries with him the form and aspect ef other men , but without the vigour and energy of that season which his early youth bade him hope to attain . How many men cease to be men , or at least , ceaso to enjoy manhood at thirty % How many at eighteen receive the impression of the seeds of Syphilitic disease itself \ the consequences of which travel out of the ordinary track of bodily ailment , covering the frame with disgusting evidences of its ruthless nature , and impregnating the wholesnme stream of life with mortal poison ; conveying into families the seeds of disunion and unhappiness { undermining domestic harmony ; and striking at the very soul of human intercourse . The fearfullyabused powers of the human Generative System require the most cautious preservation ; and the debility and disease resulting from early indiscretion demand , for the enre of those dreadfu evils , that such medicine should be employed that is most certain to uccessful . It ia for these cases Messrs . Perry and Co ., particularly designed their CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM which is intended to relievo those persons , who , by an immoderate iudulgence of their passions , have ruined their constitutions , or in their way to the consummation of that deplorable state , aro affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach , as the various affections of the nervous system , obstinate gleets , excesses , irregularity , obstructions of certain evacuations , weakness , total impotancy , barrenness , &c . . As nothing can be better adapted to hev » nd nourish the constitution , so there is nothing more generally acknowledged to be peculiarly efficacious in all inward wastings , loss of appetite , indigestion , depression of spirits , trembling or shaking of the hands or limbs , obstinate coughs , shortness of breath , or consumptive habits . It possesses wonderful efficacy in all cases of syphilis , fits , head-ache , weakness , heaviness and lowness ef spirits , dimness of sight , confused thoughts , wandering of the mind , vapours and melancholy ; and all kinds of hysteric complaints are gradually moved by its use . And even where the disease of Sterility appears to have taken the firmest bold of the female constitution , the softning tonic qualities of the Cordial Balm of Syriacum will warm and purify the blood and juicjes , increase the animal spirits , invigorate and revive the whole animal machine , and remove the usual impediment to maternity . This medicine is particularly recommended to be taken before persons enter into the ^ Matrimonial State , lest in the event of procreation occurring , the innocent offspring should bear enstarnped upon it the physical characters derivable from parental debility , or evil eruptions of a malignant tendency , that are most assuredly introduced by tho same neglect and imprudence . Sold in Bottles , price 11 s . each , or tho quantity of four in one Family bottle for 33 =., by which one 11 s . bottle is saved . Prepared only by Messrs . PERRY & Co ., Surgeons , 44 , Albion-street , Leeds , ( Private Entrance in the Passage , ) and 4 , Great Charles-street , Birmingham . Observe , none are genuine without the signature ot R . & L . PERRY AND Co . mpressed in a stamp on the ou tside of each wrapper to imitate which is felony of the deepest dye . The Five Pound cases , ( the purchasing of which will be a saving of one pound twelve shillings ;) may bo had as usual at 44 , Albion-street , Leeds , and 4 , Great Charles-street , Birmingham , * and Patients in tho country who require a oourse of this admirable medicine , should send Five Pounds by letter , which will entitle them to the full benefit of such advantage .

PERRY expect when consulted by letter , the usual fee of one pound , without which , no notice i whatever can be taken of the communication .

Medicines can be forwarded I to any part of the world ; no difficulty can occur , as they will be securely packed , and carefully protected from observation . PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIG PILLS , Price 2 s . 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d ., and 11 s . per box . ! ( Observe the signature of R . and L . PERRY and 1 Co . on the outside of each wrapper ) are 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 Gonorrhsea , 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 rocent and severe cases , but when salivation I and all other means have failed ; and are of the utmost importance to those afflicted with Scorbutic Affections , Eruptions on any part of the body , 'Ulcerations , Scrofulous or Venereal Taint , being justly calculated to cleanse the blood from all foulness , counteract every morbid affection , and restore weak and emaciated constitutions to pristine health and vigour . It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to this horrid disease , owing to the unskilfulness ; of illiterate men ; who , by the use ot thai deadly i poison , mercury , ruin the constitution , causing ulccrations , blotches on the head , face , and body ; dimness of sight , noise in the ears , deafness , obstinate gleets , nodes on the shin bones , ulcerated sore I throat , diseased nose , with noctural pains in the head and limbs , till at length a general debility of the constitution ensues , and a melancholy deathpu }* a period to their dreadful sufferings .

Perry and Co . to give such adviee as will be the means of effecting a permanent and effectual core , after all other means have proved ineffectual . N . B .

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 rills can walk with all the activity and freedom of perfect health .

S . alighting at the Wtavers Arms Inn , Newthorp , he was recurred with such demonstrations of applause that perfectly astounded his fellow passengers .

The . Mayor having granted the use of the Town Hall , and placards being issued announcing that Mr .

Mr . Cocherill was called to the chair , and in a few neat and appropriate remarks introduced Mr Stall-¦ wood , who , on rising , was greeted with loud and long continued applause . He pointed to the , immense , unprecedented distress now prevailing throughout the land ; to the m *** of oppressive laws ; to our miscalled national debt ; to the excessive taxation ; to the people being called on to snpport in profusion , luxury , and splendour three Kings and three Qieens , while
great masses of the industrious people existed upon less than twopence per head per day ; showed that we were cursed with monopoly in religion , monopoly of legislature , &c . He pulled to pieces the various allurements thrown out by the eleventh hour sympathisers , with a masterly hand , amidst the most enthusiastic plaudits of the audience , and clearly demonstrated that the People ' s Charter was the only " complete suffrage / ' and exhorted Ms tudience not to accept nor snpport , or encourage anything less than , the whole dart&r , deta-ls and all , ¦ which was responded to in a manner that must have convinced the most sceptical that the good denizens of
Banbury were " whole hog" men , and no mistake . Mr . S . concluded an address cf considerable length rand ability , amidst rounds of applause . Opposition was invited bit none given . A vote of thanks was then given to the Mayor for granting the use of the Hall ; also to the rfo » irm * Ty Three enthusiastic cheers were then given for Henry Tincent and Banbury ; three for Mr .

" This is the man for the people . Let every nerve be strained to return him .
CARLISLE . —Public Lecture by "Mr . James Bbosxesbe O'Bbie . v—On Tuesday evening , March 8 th , the above-named gentleman delivered a most interesting and instructive lecture" en the necessity of aii friends of the people , Corn Law Repealers ,. Socialists , Itepsal Unionists , &c , abandoning every other agitation at the present crisis , ' in order to concentrate their efforts towards the attainment of the People ' s Charter . The theatre , which had been taken for the occaaon , was well filled in all parts of the -house , and numbers -were unable to gain admittance . On Mr . O'Brien making his appearance , he was loudly cheered . On the motion of Mr . J . B . Hanson , seconded by Mr . J . Bseby , Mr . James Arthur , bookseller , was unanimously called to the chair . After making a feir remarks ,
he introduced Mr . O'Brien , who was . received -with load cheers and clapping of hands , which conti&usd for » ome time . After the applause had subsided , Mr . O'Brien &aid—My worthy friends of Carlisle , I am a poor , broken-down traveller , just eomefrom-Edinbureh . I have lately attended many public meetings , all of which were crowded—Dundee , Arbroath , Montrose , Glasgow , Edinburgh , Paisley , Aberdeen , Greenock , and several ether places , all of which were large meet-Ings , with the exception of Dunfennline , which is ridden by anti-Corn Law humbugs . ( Great cheering . ) Kothin ? could exceed the enthusiasm of the men of Scotland , and what is better . ttUi , they will not take bribes , though some of the leaders have tried hard to get the people to backslide with them ; but this they
eannot accomplish , so that our security ia in the stedfastness of the people . The moment the'Char : ists join the anti-Corn Law League , there is no hope . If the anti-Corn Law party are sincere , why don't they _ come over to us ? The Charter would treat all alike . If there would be aDy difference , it wcnld be all ia favour of the mid / le and higher classes . A rich man , for instance , can perform a number of beneficent acts , which secures him respect from the people , who will look upon him as a kind and benevolent man who is anxious to do good , so that the people will endeavour to strengthen his hands . . If the wealthy wiU use their wealih in a just manner , they can have nothing to fesi from the Chaiter ; but they know if we had tiie
power , we would soon destroy all corruption . The Anti-Corn Law party are a parcel of bypeerites , for they formerly contended for the Ballot , but now they say the Ballot is a mere detail , but surely you would want it mere than you do at present Is there any security in a body of men who will claim protection for themselves , and trill not . grant it to you ? I solemnly declare that ¦ We cannot advance one yard with the Antd-Com law JOrty—without being destroyed and split up as a party . I tee no ground that we should join themj until they come over to the people , iade ^ d a change kas already « omo over the spirit of tbeii dream , f jr they are new beginning to teat you with respect , though it is not ttntil they see yoa are determined to command re .
* pect . They perceive that yon value men only from their good acts , consequently they must make atonement for what they have done , before the people can respect them . For these twenty-five weeks , I have , on an average been lecturing three hours daily , and I have the satisfaction if knowing I have * auaed up a power that cannot easily be IS * . *!?*? ' When we fcaTe tilked about the raart « » they have said "Ah ! you have no property . " I fcaresud bow comes it that these fellows fcave all the CfPf ^ k ^ J who make Property Tenable have JS ^ m- ^ V * * * ™ * " P ? 16 fc ^ ebeen disposed « £ ?**««* % « which f they had retained , property J oateJHHraf faro been distributed u it-now is .

called , at the manner in which I have opened np the question of property ; and they say " Thta fellow O'Brien explains usuj y , ex ^ ianges , taxation , &c ., and he wishes to make * jhe people believe that we , the respectable people , are robbers or receiyera of stolen goods / ' and they look daggers at me as I walk along , because I fcave e onvinced the people of the folly of re-Cfiiving the-e o ' . d fashioned notions about property , and the jargon of cheap bread and free bade ; which a certain class wo'ild still force down the people ' s throats : but it wont do now , the people are prepared to meet them . Tod never hear of a middle class man ' asking a poor man . to dine with him ; no ! they never bestow their favours on those who want them most . Why did they lock five hundred of us up in gaol , and drive
thousands of poor but industrious and honest men from their native conntry ? When this was done they should have then come out , for they thought then that they had completely destroyed yon , and that you were all dead , but we have sounded the trumpet of resurrection , and will soon have from three to four millions of signatures to the National Petition ! now they are frightened to death that we must only take the Charter , but God knows how much more . Do not bust the middle classes , nor believe that they will cone to the people , except with the expectation of leading and deceiving them . But this will not do ; they may destroy the leaders , bat they can never destroy the movement . There is a mass of intelligence abroad , -which -will , withstand all their efforts . The
only way for the middle classes to do now , is to say to the people , " we have hitherto deceived you , but we will now ga with you , and have new institutions , which will not allow certain classes to get property as they have hitherto done . " They charge me with being a destructive , but there never was a public man whose doctrines are so strictly conservative as mine are . I wish to leave to all men the privilege of retaining what they have got , however dishonestly , but I would take care , that they get no more in the same way . I have said , that while the landlords and others have increased their wealth forty fold . I see no means of patting a stop to that , but by allowing them the valne of what they have got ; only giving us the hope that at their death , the people shonld get their own . When . I was
in Manchester with Vincent , two men came into the room -where we were , and one said to the other , " why , that fellow , O'Brien , has got at large again" ! " Aye , said the ether " and a world of mischief he is doing" The fellows know well , that if you get into the habit of looking into abuse , the devil himself cannot Btop you from going on . These men have never consulted neither your feelings nor mine ; tien surely I may say a few hard words agairsS them ; nor shall any power on earth prevent me from making my fellow men fdlly acquainted with the cause of their sufferings , and the means of remedying them , which is , the adoption of the People ' s Charter . I was afraid that some might have been tempering with you , and I warn you against giving ear to any man who would attempt to
persuade you to abandon one single point of the Charter . If the middle classes are Teally in earnest , they will at once adopt the Charter , for it contains nothing that would ala m any honest man . If they are inclined to be honest , I , for one , would not be intolerant with them ; I would not attempt to inteifore with their private meetings ; but if they call a public meeting , then you shonld convince them that you are the best Ymit of the meeting . You should not interrrupt them , but stop and hear what they have to say ; you have a right to listen to humbug , for the law acknowledges it When Curtis ( the anti-Corn Law lecturer ) shows the treasures of the Mississippi ; if he consents to do so , it is because there is no law against it ; but if you think he should not humbug you , then yen can
stop away . Those interfering with meetings of this kind , incur the opposition of many a good man , for they say , if the Chartists break np such meetings , they might do many worse things . To return then to the middle classes , what ought to be our policy now ? Why , as Chartists , we cannot unite with any party , bat toe the whole ot the six points —( cries of bravo , and that ' s the point)—while we keep aloof from them , let us remember , that it is only fair to give others the same liberty that we claim for ourselves ; or else they will say , " are you not interested in having things all your own way , for we are now for complete suffrage . " We say you have got the franchise , and we want it ; and what la to prevent you middle class to go with us ? for we can only
give you our physical force . This will not do , for if we were to follow in your train , by getting up the pressure from without , then they would leave us in the lurch . It is impossible they can be honest unless they join us for the Chaiter ; or else keep their agitation to their own class for complete suffrage ; but if they will try to bribe our leaders , their object is to break us up ; hence I denounce them as villains for wanting to destroy us . There are many cirenmetances which create my suspicion , as to the honesty of the new move . Why do they go among the leaders ? It is because they cannot bribe the whole people , but may deceive the people by bribing ha ; f a dozen of their leaders , which may weaken our Btrength . Is this their calculation ? I cannot search into men ' s - hearts , but I have a right to infer , from
their acts , that they are not honest . The moment a leader begins to talk a language , tnat we should give way . then I would say , " good bye old boy , we have done with you . " They always apply to our leaders at some hole and corner place , and not openly , and in the presence of the people . When in Edinburgh , I saw a correspondence between the Anti-Corn law party and some of the Chartist leaders ; but I told the latter to have nothiDg to do with them . They urge the difference between us is so small , that it is nofrworth while to cavil about : then why do they cavil ? We wish to know what they mean by complete suffrage . They say it ought to be given to every man fit to use it Their exceptions are greater than the general rule . They would consult M . r . Sharman Crawford , who is lying on
a sick bed , so that had he died , the complete suffrage would have died with him , I suppose . 0 , they are as slippery as eels , and we must keep aloof from them , until they yield to the Charter Suffrage , There is another ground of suspicisn , and that is , they always mix np the question of the suffrage with a repeal of the corn laws , as if they were matters of equal importance ; they say , " you must sign our petitions , and we will sign yours . " But they are only thousands and we are mil ions ; so that by thus acting we wonld be carrying their measure . This is an abominable condition Which -tremnst never accept ; for it is evident they Wisfc to take us by surprise , and then they wiil leave us in the larch . They have no faith in their own measures , and have no ground for hope ; for it is a herrible delusion , and
would add fifty per cent to all money contracts . Taxation must come down , whether the Corn Laws are repealed or not . If they repeal the Corn Laws , without other measures , then they wi 1 give fifty per cent , advantage to all the monied interests , and all those with fixed salaries . Mr . O'Brien then dwelt at some length on the subject of free trade , and showed , that while our foreign trade increased , just in proportion did the cemforts of the working man decrease , and if the Corn Laws were repealed , that we must produce as cheap aB they do in France , Naples , Prussia , and other countries , where labour is cheap and taxes light ; so that we would be compelled to produce at a lower rate of wages . BesideB , our home trade under such circumstances would be destroyed . If the Repeal be
good ( continued Mr . O'Brien ) , then it will be carried when we get tae Charter , and not till then . Then why , in God ' s name , do the Repealers not go for the whole Charter ? If I had the Repeal to-morrow , I would not have it on their term ? . Were the Corn Laws repealed without other measures , we would soon have the agricultural labourers coping with the manufacturing labourers , and a pretty state of society we would have ! But these men cannot be sincere in this matter , for we have twenty grievances far greater than the Corn Laws . Mr . O'Brien here narrated a number of the most glaring grievances under which the people laboured , and proved that they were much more oppressive in their nature than the existing Corn Laws . If the Repealers ( continued Mr . O'Brien ) will come to
us , I would receive them with open arms ; for if they were never honest before , this will be a proof that they are going to be so now : " There is more joy over one sinner that regenteth , than over ninety and nine just persons who never went astray . " Let them cease to abuse your leaders , whom they dare not meet My friends , think well on the subject , and tell the middleclass men that the only measure to work out the general good is the Charter , and anything short of that will never take the people cut of the iron grasp of their oppressors . If a thief wants to Eet fire to my property , or to steal it , he dots not begin operations by giving me warning of what he ia about to do . I have attended 239 meetings since I came out of prison , and such have been my exertions lately that I am quite exhausted , and at present very unfit to address you longer . Mr . O'Brien then retired amidst loud and
tontinned cheering , which lasted for several moments . Mr . Arthur , Chairman , then invited any one to come forward and express his opinions , or put any question to Mr . O'BrieD . Mr . John Mooney wished to hear Mr . O'Brien ' s views on a repeal of the Union . The latter gentleman explained , in a manner which satisfied Mr . Mooney . In consequence of some other question , Mr . O'Brien entered into a beautiful and clever exposition of the various points of the Charter , and proved , to demonstration , that by giving up any portion , the efficacy of the whole would be destroyed . Mr . O'Brien spote for nearly three hours , and was listened to throughout with the most profound respect and attention . His lectures made a deep and lasting impression on the minds of all thinking men , and are well calculated to prevent their being misled by fallacious arguments , such as are practised by cunning and selfish men . . " .
A Large Public Meeting was held in the Theatre on Saturday ev « uing , when tke people were addressed by Messrs Marsden and Tattersall , who were on their return to Lancashire from Scotland . Mr . Marsden made a clever and impressive speech . He went into a lengthy exposition of the mannfacinring system , with which he seems to be most intimately and minutely acquainted . He eulogised Mr . Ferrand , M . P . for Knareeborough , for the bold and fearless manner he had brenght the abuses of the manu £ ictnring system before the country , in Mb able speech in the House of Common ? . Mr . Mazsdeo then spoke on the subject of the Corn Laws and other matters connected with the wellbeings of the working classes , and concluded an excellent speech by calling on the people to standby the Charter . Mr . Tattersall then addressed the meeting in a very eloquent and animated strain , which elicited considerable bums ot app 2 aate .
