      SECRECY .-SUCCESFUL TREATMENT . MEDICAL ESTABLISHMENT , 13 , Trafalgar Street , Leeds . IT may be stated as a fact , that there is no disease which has demanded more , or received less , attention from the Medical Profession generally , than Luet Venera . From this cause alone , it ii allowed to sweep away hundreds of victims annually . By the application of proper remedies , ninety-nine out of every hundred of these might be saved . But to attain this , it is necrssary that a Medical Practitioner shonld devote his time almost exclusively to the consideration of this most insidious and dangerous disease . It appears under so many varied forms , and assumes so many different aspects , that nothing but coastant experience can enable even the most devoted student to detect and eradicate it . When a Medical Man abandons the general practice of the Profession , and devotes his studies entirely to this particular branch , then he at once looses caste , and is branded br his colleagues as a Quack . Iu defiance of this contumelious epithet , WILKINSON AND CO ., Beg to state that they continue to apply all their knowledge and experience to the eradication of this baneful Disorder , finding a sufficient recompense in the happiDess which they have been the menus of restoring to thousands who would , in all probability , h&ve otherwise sunk prematurely into the grave . This Establishment has nowboen open upwards of seven years , during which period , thousands of cases have been treated , and in no one instance has the patient been disappointed of an effectual cure . In most instances , a few days have sufficed to eradicate the Disease ; but where the disorder has been allowed to make serious inroads by delay or unskilful management , more time has necessarily bceu required to coHiDlete the cure . W and Co ., know of no instance where any establishment devoted to tho care of the same class of disease , has maintained so Ions & standing , which must be regarded as a conclusive proof of tbeir integrity and ability . Long experience has enabled them to produce a remedy which is applicable to almost every stage Of the disease . Their PURIFYING DROPS Have been used in thousands of oanes , and with the most signal succefls . Perhaps no Medicine was ever offered to the Public , which has been so effioaoious in restoring the diseased to heslth and vigour They are powerful and speedily efficacious , in the most obstinate as well as recent cases . A Treatise of twelve pages is given with them , explaining the various aspects of the Disease ; aud the directiona are so full and explicit , that persons of either sex may cure themselves withoHt even the knowledge of a bedfellow . In compliance with tho wishes of many of their Patients , Wilkinson and Co ., a short time ago , published a Work , entitled THE SECRET MEDICAL ADVISER ; Price Two Shillings and Sixpence , or sent free to the most remote parts of tbe kingdom ( in a sealed envelope ) on tne receipt of a Po ^ t-office Order , for Tares Shillings and Sixpence . Within the space of six months a very large edition of this valuable Work has been disposed of , which will be a sufficient test of its importance . It is a Practical Treatise on the Prevention and Cure of the Venereal Disease , and other affections of the urinary and Bexual organs , in both sexes , with a mild aud successful mode of treatment , in all their forms and consequences ; especially Gleet , Stricture , aff-ctions of the Bladder , Prostrate Glands , Gravel , &o . i shewing aiso the dangerous consequences of Mercury , snch a >> eruptions of tke skin , pain in tho body , & . c , wixh plain directions for a perfect restoraition—embellished with Engravings . An ample consideration of the disease of the woman ; also nervous debility ; incladiog a comprehensive Dissertation on the anatomy of marriage , impuissance , celibacy , sterility or barrenness , aiid other various interruptions of the laws of nature . Aleo , observations on the Secret Sin of Youth , which er-tails such fearful consequences on its victims . This invaluable little Work , together with their Purifying Drops and other Medicines , may be had of W . & . Co .. at their Establishment , 13 , Trafalgar Street , Leeds ; or of the following AGENTS . Lee < 3 =. —Mr . Heaton , Bookseller , 7 , Briggate , and at ihe Times Office Liverpool—At the Chronicle Office , 25 , Lord-street . Manchester—Mr . Watiunsou , DruggiBt , 6 , Mark « - place-R'pon—Mr .

" The various forms of bodily and mental weakness incapacity , suffering and disease , faithfully delineated in . this cautiously written and practical work , are almost unknown j generally misunderstood , and treated upon principles correspondingly erroneous and superficial , by the present raca 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 tho certainty of restoration-The evils to which the book adverts are extensive and identical in their secret ynd hidden 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 iaformaiiou and those salutary cautions this work is intended to convey . Not only arta the most delicate forms of generative debility neglected by tho family physician , but they require for their safe management the exclusive study of aj life entirely abstracted from the routine of general practice , and ( as in other departments of the profession ) attentively concentrated in 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 viewi we ! find the interests and welfareo 4 mankind seriously involved . The effects of licentious , indiscriminate audisecret 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 progrfFS—its results in both sexes , are given with faithful , but » las ! 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 emasculation , produced by uncontrolled indulgence of the passions , caa be restored ; how , the sufferer , who has pined in anguish from the cooseqm nces of early indiscretion—afraid almost to encounter his fcllowl man , can regain the vigour " of health and moral courage . The work is written in a concise and perspicuous style , displaying how often food parents nredecieived by the outward physical appearance of their youthful offspring ; how theattenuationofthe framc , palpitationoftho Heart , deranKement of the nervous system , couch , 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 di = eafe , are' the consequences of an alluring and pernicious practice , alike destructive to the mind and body . "—Belt ' s \ New Weekly Messenger . * 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 iu any instance where ! the public , and not the isolated and exclusive members of the profession , are the parties addressed . I Upon that which is directed to . men indiscriminately , the world will form ita own opinfon , and will demand that medical works for popular study should be devoid of that mysterious tec hnicality in which the soience of medicine has hitherto shrouded its own ignorance . The work before us treats ofsiibjects we believe generally , yet very strangely , neglected by the medical attendant , and requiring doubtlessly ( as in operative midwifery aud the surgery of the rye ) an entire devotedness . to a deeply important ; branch of study . The tone of this book is highly ! moral , aud it abounds in wellwritten , harrowing , ; yet correct displays of the suffering consequent upon unbridled sensualism . No human beinjr 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 conversawt with tbe diseases of the most delicate division of the human organization . "—The Magnet . "The security of happiness in the marriage Statb is the chief aiixiei y of all ; but many dread entering upon wedded union , through a secret fear of nnfitnes 8 for the discharge of matrimonial obligations . This es 3 » y 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 poiut the way to renovated health .

Gentlomeu A most extraordinary Case of Cure communicated , by Mrs . Moxon , of York . Mrs . Mathers , of that City , had for many years been affected with a most inveterate disease , which her medical attendants pronounced to be Cancer . It originated in her breast , and continued to spread nearly all over her body , defying every effort of surgical skill . Parr ' s Life Pills being recommonded to her . she resolved to give them a trial ; and , speaking of the result , she says she cannot express tho inconceivable adoantage which sho has already derived from them . She further states that she is ddw almost well , aud ascribes her convalescence solely to the persevering use of that sovereign medicine , Parr ' s Life Pills . Communicated by Mr . Bawden . Gentlemen , —At the request of Mr . Thomas Barret , Farmer , of Menally , parish oi'St .

BAWDEN , Chemist and Druggist . Fowley , Cornwall , Gentlemen , —I feel it a duty I owe you to express my gratitude for the great benefit I have derived by taking PARR'S LIFE PILLS . I applied to your agent , Mr . Bawden , Chemist and Druggist , Fowley , for Parr ' s Life Pills , for a Swelling I had in my Groin , which extended to my ancle , and I could scarcely walk from the pain and swelling . It arose about an inch in thickness , descending in a line from the top to the bottom of my leg , and was quite black and painful to the touch . After three boxes of PARR'S LIFE PILLS , it quite disappeared , and I have' not had a return of it since ; I am determined not to be without them , for I shall always have a box continually in tho house , in readiness for any complaint with which I may in future be afflicted . I remain , Gentlemen , Your most obedient Servant , THOMAS BARRET , Of Menally , Parish of St . Veep , Oornwall . Cirencester , Jan , 1 , 1843 . Gentlemen , —The wonderful effects of PARR'S LIFE PILLS have been felt by the poorer classes in the parish of Cirencester .

In fact , it is gratjfyin « to me to say to the Proprietors of the Pills , uy sale increases daily . Some days I sell 50 boxes . Yours , W . WHITE . ' Agent for Cirencester . Many persons , after learning that so many wonderful cures have been effected by PARR'S LIFE PI LLS have a great desire to procure the medicine which has done so much good . In doing this , however , caution must be observed , as certain individuals withont honesty , are offering a dangerous Bubsitute , instead of the genuine medicine . The proprietors cannot , of course , be accountable for any untoward results that may ensue , to those who have been thus imposed upon , but they can point out an effectual means to prevent further imposition . ; CACTIOW—BEWARE OF IMITATIONS .

      Distressing Occident at Moskweabkooth Collieht . —On Thursday evening a considerable sensation was occasioned in Sunderland by & rep rt that two pitmen engaged at Monkwearmouth Colliery , the property of Messrs . Pembertons , had lost their lives whilst prosecuting their dangerous calling . It was at first reported that an explosion had taken place , but this , it was speedily ascertained , was not tee case . It appears that two men , named John Coxon , and John Nesham , were on this evening pro--ceeding down tbe back shaft , which is separated from the principal and working portion of the pis by a brattice , in which is the pump for clearing oat the water works , for the purpose of ascertaining that the spears of the pump and the shaft generally were

      ^ in working order . They were equipped , as is Usual on pursuing their avocations , "with torches and the implements neoess » ry for the performance of their duty . Their mode of descent is by a si ng or loop , in which & piece of wood is affixed for a seat . They bad not on this occasion descended far , before one of i \ e spears broke , and falling with great force upon th em , they were precipitated down the shaft . Whethe r they were dashed to p ieces on some of the wood cros sings , which support the pump , or had fallen into '^* the sumD" ( the collscti- n of mud and water ar the bottom of the pit ) , 200 fathoms from the surface , was fox' a lengthened period doubtful . As Boon as the nape , ^ saxy preparations could be made ( it being requisite . $ rat to repair the broken spear ) , two men proceeded down the shaft to discover , if possible , the

      bodieB of iL ^ ir ^ unfortunate companions . At a late hour at nighi * the mutilated remains of one of the men werefou , id in the " cistern hole , " about sixty fathoms from the bottom of the back shaft . The body of the ot her man was brought to bask on JhurBday morn / Titf . The most intense excitement prevailed in the immediate neighbourhood of the catastrophe , and t > ie most active and praiseworthy exertions were mai te by the pitmen to obtain the bodies of their comra ies , whose lived have been thus prematurely sacrificed . Coxon , who has left « wife and large family , had b -een long in the employ of tbe Colliery company ; ana ' it is singular that he was iately heard to say that hv ^ would not be there longmeaning some accident ^ vould probably overtake him—a presentiment which had been awfully rtalized .
