THE CORDIAL BALM OF SYR 1 ACUM . Is a gentlestimulant and renovator of the impaired functions of life , and is exclusively directed to the cure of the Generative System , whether constitutional or acquired , loss of sexual power , and debility arising from Syphilitic disease ; and is calculated to afford decided relief to those who , by early indulgence in solitary habits , have weakened the powers of their system , and fallen into a state of chronic debility , by which the constitution is left in a deplorable state , and that nervous mentality kept up which places the individual in a state of anxiety for the remainder of life . _ The consequences arising from this dangerous practice , are 4 tat confined to its pure physical result , but branch to moral ones ; leading the excited deviating mind into a fertile field of seducive error , — into a gradual but total degradation of manhood—into a pernicious application of these inherent rights which nature wisely instituted for the preservation of her speoies ; bringing on premature decripitude , and all the habitudes of old age : —such a one carries with him the form and aspect of 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 , cease 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 evidence of its ruthless nature , and impregnating the wholesome 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 fearfully abused powers of the humane Generative System require the most cautious preservation ; and the debility and disease resulting from early indiscretion demand , for the cure of those dreadful evils , that such medicine should be employed that is most certain to be successful . It is for these cases Messrs . Perry and Co ., ^ particularly designed their CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM which is intended to relieve those persons , who , by an immoderate indulgence of their passions , have 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 of the nervous system , obstinate gleets , excesses , irregularity , . obstructions of certain evacuations , weakness , total impotenoy , barrenness , &o . A * nothing can be better adapted to help and 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 eftcaoy in all cases of syphilis , fits , head-ache , weakness , heaviness , and lowness of spirits , dimness of sight , confused thoughts , wandering of the mind , vapours , and melancholy ; and all kinds of" hysteric complaints are gradually removed by its use . And even where the disease of Stebilitt appears to have taken the firmest hold of the female constitution , the softening tonio qualities of the Cordial Balm of Syriacum will warm and purify the blood and juices , increase the animal spirits , invigorate and revive the whole animal machine , and remove the usual impediment to maturity . / . This medicine is particularly recommended to be taken before persons inter into the Matrimonial State , lest in the event of procreation occurring , the innocent offspring should bear enstamped upon it the physical characters derivable from parental debility , or evil » ruptions of a malignant tendency , that are most assuredly introduced by the same neglect and imprudence .

LETTER FROM MR . WM . HICK , NORTHERN STAR OFFICE , LEEDS ; " Northern Star Office , Leeds , March 17 tb , 1842 . C *" p entlemen , —You will oblige by forwarding , at IX your earliest convenience , the same quantity of PARR'S LIFE PILLS as last sent . While I am writing I cannot refrain from communicating the flattering intelligence of th * great good your pills art doing in Leeds and its neighbourhood . It is clearly a great error to find fault with a medicine merely because it is a patent one ; and more especially since its use has contributed so largely to the public health . The fact is , however , predjudioe is fast giving way , as it always must where the pills are tried . A few cases in point may serve to confirm and illustrate what I have asserted . " A young female came into the shop to-day for a box , who stated that they had done her immense good . She had been troubled with a hoarseness so bad that no one could hear her speak ; but having taken a few boxes of PARR'S LIFE PILLS , sha was completely restored , as was evident by the way she spoke . ' / > M Very many cases of extraordinary cures have occurred among the aged workpeople , both male and female . In one mill , an aged couple , enfeebled by disease and debilitated by premature old age , had become almost past work ; they were persuaded to try a few boxes of PARR'S LIFE PILLS , and in a week were restored and strengthened that they could pursue their employment with pleasure and profit ; so much to , that from being unable to work at their calling more than two days in the week , and this with great physical difficulty and languor , they can now not only do a full week ' s work , but overhours besides . Bad as trade is here , the old people being favourites with the mill owner , are enabled to get as much employment as they can do , which has excited the envy of those younger persons who had been employed in their absence ; and it is a laughable fact , that Parr ' s Pills come in for a share of their rancour . The old people continue to take tbe pills regularly in small quantities , and find them as necessary to their health and prosperity as their daily food . " The next and last case which I shall mention at this time , is one of a most extraordinary nature . I have not seen the individual myself , but I shall give you the fact as I have received it frem his employer , ' and from Mr . J . Hobson , who has frequently seen him since his oonvalesence . Tbe man is a working mechanic and had spent about thirty pounds last year on the doctor , in going to the Isle of Man and other places , for the benefit of his health , but to no purpose . His food had consisted for a long time of nothing but rice milk , the stomach refusing to lake anything stronger . His body was greatly emaciated and his temporal prospects clouded ; with a mind Glled with melancholy forebodings for the future , he returned to his friends at Leeds , where he was told by his medical adviser that should he be restored a little , his disorder would have its periodical return ; but being advised to try PARR'S LIFE PILLS , he bought a few boxes , which have completely removed His disease , and enabled him to return to his work , where he was seen a few days ago by Mr . Hobson , ( it being dinner hour ) eating beef-steaks with great gusto ; and to whom he recited with pleasure and gratitude the cause of his then healthy condition , together with a long history of his past affliction " Should the above three cases of cures be worthy of your notice , you are at perfect liberty to make what use of them you think proper . I am , Gentlemen , yours , respectfully , " WILLIAM HICK . "To Messrs . T . RobertB and Co ., 9 , Crane Court , Fleet-street , London . " H MIRACULOUS CURE FKOK THE USE OF rAR& ' S LIVE MLLS . Copy of a Letter just received by the Proprietors from Mr . Wm . Moat , 3 , Cobbett-street , Shaw ' s Brow , Salford . H To the Proprietors of Parr ' s Life Pills . " Gentlemen , —I have the utmost pleasure in forwarding you this my own case of cure , effected solely by the persevering use of your Park's Life Pills . Before having recourse to them , 1 had been for upwards of five years afflicted with a most distressing malady , which the different medical men who attended me all pronounced to be a serious case of hydrocele ( or dropsy of the ecrotum ) , and declared there was no other chance of either relief or cure than undergoing a surgical operation . I was thus driven almost to despair ; and consulted the treatise written by Sir Astley Cooper , wherein he states that the operation is generally attended with considerable danger . I therefore determined not to risk so pain * ful and uncertain an experiment , but rather chose to leave the result to nature and Providence . Fortunately , I heard of the great fame of Pass ' s Liti Pills , and resolved to give them a fair trial . I consequently took them for some time without perceiving any benefit , but still kept persevering ; and I hare now taken twelve boxes , and to my great joy I am perfectly well , the dropsy ia entirely removed , together with a scorbutic affection , which I had been much troubled with since my return from India in 1827 ; and now there is not a vestige of disease left in my whole system , as I am now in better health and spiritB than I have been for fourteen years . I feel certain you would have accounts of far more cures , if people would persevere in the use of the pills a proper length of time , as I have done . I give you my heartfelt thanks , and authority to publish this letter , and will gladly answer any applications either personally or by letter , and remain your grateful and obliged servant .

" " Gentlemen , —I am happy to inform you that we are daily hearing accounts of the good effects of Parr ' s Life Pills ; to enumerate the cases would be a task too formidable for me , and which has prevented my writing to inform you before , as I can hardly tell where to begin . One man said he wanted a box of Life Pillp . for Life Pills they were to him , they had done bin M much good , in relieving him of an obstinate cough and asthma . " Another said they were worth their weight in gold J as he was not like the same man since he had taken them . "Another said his wife had had a bad leg for years , but after taking one small box , which was recommended by . his Class Leader , her leg was mucb better , and when she had taken the second box , it waa quite as well as the other . " A very respectable female said her htsband hail been afflicted above two years , and bad tried many things , but since helutd taken Pake ' s Life Pilli he was quite a new man .

"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 first , and which never proves fatal if properly treated , as all its fatal results are owing either to neglect OT ignorance .

" The various forms of bodily and mental weakness incapaoity , sufFering and disease , faithfully delineated in this cautiously written and practical work , are almost unknown , generally misundorstood , and treated upon principles correspondingly erroneous and superficial , by the present race of medical practitioners . Hence the necessity for the publication of a timely safeguard , a silent yet friendly monitor , or , where debility has made threatening inroads , the means Of escape and the certainty of restoration . The evils to vyhich the book adverts are extensive and identical in their secret ynd bidden origin , and there are none to whom , as Parents , Guardians , Heads of Families , and especially of public Schools , is confided the care of young people , who ought to remain for a moment devoid of that information and those salutary cautions this work is intended to convey . Not only are the most delioate forms of generative debility neglected by the family physician , but they require for their safe management the ex-Clusive study of a life entirely abstracted from the routine of general praotice , and ( as in other departments of the profession ) attentively concentrated ia the daily and long continued observation requisite for the correct treatment of sexual infirmities . " If we consider the topics upon either in a moral or social view , we find the interests and welfare of mankind seriously involved . The effects of licentious , indiscriminate and secret indulgence in certain practices , are described with an accuracy and force which display at once profound reflection and extensive practical experience . " —The Planet . "The best of all friends is the Professional Friend : and in no shape can he be consulted with greater safety and secrecy than in "Lucas on Manly Vigour . " The initiation into vicious indulgenceits progress—its results in both sexes . are given with faithful , but alas ! for human nature , with afflicting truth . However , the Authors have not exposed the evil without affording a remedy . It shows ; how " Manly Vigour' ? temporarily impaired , and mental and physical emasculatioD , produced by uncontrolled indulgence of the passions , can be restored ; how the sufferer , who has pined in anguish from the consequences of early indiscretion—afraid almost to encounter his fellow man , can regain the vigour of health and moral courage . The work is written in a concise and p erspicuous style , displaying how often fond parents aredeceivedby the outward physical appearance of their youthful offspring ; how the attenuation of the frame , palpitationofthe neart . derangement of the nervous system , cough " , indigestion , and a train of symptoms indicative of consumption or general decay , are often ascribed to wrong causes ; and instead of being the natural results of congenital debility or disease , are the consequences of an alluring and pernicious practice , alike destructive to the mind and body . "—fi ^' * New Weekly Messenger . ¦ u Although a newspaper is not the ordinary channel for the expression of opinion upon the merits of a medical work , this remark is open to exception in any instance where the public , and not the isolated and exclusive members of the profession , are the parties addressed . Upon that which is directed to men indiscriminately , the world will form its own opinion , and will demand that medical Works for popular study should be devoid of that mysterious technicality in which the science of medicine has hitherto shrouded its own ignorance . The work before us treats of subjects we believe generally , yet very strangely , neglected by the medical attendant , and requiring doubtlessly ( as in operative midwifery and the surgery of the eye ) an entire devotedness to a deeply important branoh of study . The tone of this book is highly moral , and it abounds in wellwritten , harrowing , yet correct displays of the suffering consequent upon unbridled sensualism . No human being can be the Worse for its perusal ; to multitudes it must prove a Warning beacon , a welltold appeal to reason , a permanent blessing . It is written in a clear intelligible style , and is evidently the production of a mind long and practically conversant with the diseases of the most delicate division of the human organization . "— The Magnet . 'j * The security of happiness in the marriage state is the chief anxiety of all ; but many dread entering upon wedded union , through a secret fear of unfitness for the discharge of matrimonial obligations . This essay is most particularly addressed to all suffering under a despondency of the character alluded to ; and advice will be found calculated to cheer the drooping heart , and point the way to renovated health .
