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 tbe Medical Profession generally , than Lues Venera . From this cause alone , it ia allowed to sweep away hundreds of victims annually . By the application of proper remedies , ninetj-nine oat of erery hnndred of these might be saved . But to attain this , it ia necessary that a Medical Practitioner should devote bis time almost exclusively to the consideration of this most insidious and dangerous disease . Jt appears under bo many varied forms , and assumes so many different aspects , that nothing but constant 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 be at once looses caste , and is branded or his colleagues as a Quack . In defiance of this contumelious epithet , WILKINSON AND CO ,, Beg to state that they continue to apply all their knowledge and experience to tbe eradication of this baneful Bisorder , finding a sufficient recompense in the happiness which they have been the means of restoring to thousands who would , in all probability , have otherwise sunk prematurely into the grave . This Establishment has now been 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 ineffectual eure , 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 been required to complete the cure . W . and Co ., know of no instance where any establishment devoted to the care of the same class of disease , has maintained bo long a standing , which must be regarded as a conclusive proof of their 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 cases , and with the most signal success . Perhaps no Medicine was ever offered to the Public , which has been so efficacious in restoring the diseased to health and vigour They are po-werful and speedily efficacious , in the most obstinate aa well as recent cases . A Treatise of twelve pages is given with them , explaining the various aspects of the Disease ; and the directions are so full and explicit , that persons of either sex may cure themselves without even the knowledge of a bedfellow . In compliance with the wishes of many of ( heir 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 the kingdom ( in a sealed envelope ) op the receipt of a Post-office Order , for Three Shillings and Sixpence . Within the Bpaceof six months a very large edition of this valuable Work has been disposed of , which will be & safileient testof its importance . It is a Practical Treatise on the Prevention and Cure of the Venereal Disease , and otter affections of the urinary and sexual organ ? , in both sexes , with a mild and successful mode of treatment , in all their

" The various forms of bodily and mental weakness incapacity suffering and disease , faithfully delineated in this cautiously written and'practical work , are almost unknown , generally misunderstood , and treated upon principles correspondingly erroneous and superficial , by the present race of medical practitioners . Hence the necessity for tho publication of a timely safeguard , a silentyet friendly monitor , or , wher « debility has made threatening inroads , the means of escape and the certainty of restoration . The evils to which the book adverts are extensive and identical in their secret yud 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 tliat information and those salutary cautions this work is intended to convey . Not only are the most delicate forms of generative debility neglected by the family physician , but they require for their safe management the exclusive study of a life entirely abstracted from the routine of general practice , and ( as in other departments of the profession ) attentively concentrated in tho 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 desoribed with an accuracy and force which display at once profound reflection and extensive practical experience . "— The Planet . " The beBt of all friends is the Professional Friend and in no shape can he be consulted with greater safety and secreoy than in " Lucas on Manly Vigour . " The initiation into vicious indulgenceits BTOgreBS-rits results itt both sexes , are given with faithful , but alas ! for human nature , with afflicting tratb . 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 , can be restored ; hew 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 perspicuous style , displaying how often fond parents aredticeived by the outward physical appearance of their youthful offspring ; how the attenuation ofthe frame , palpitation ofthe heart , 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 . "— -Bell ' 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 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 medieal 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 i a deeply important branch of study . The tone of this book is highly moral , and it abounds in wellwrittea , harrowing , yet correct displays of the Buffering 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 tbe diseases of the most delicate division of the human organization . "—The Magnet * "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 ( he way to renovated health . ' * Messrs . Lucas & Co . are to be dail y consulted from ten till two , and from five till eight m the evening , at their residence , No . 60 , Newman-street , Oxford-street , London .

For the space of eighteen months I was ] seriously afflicted with a complaint of the stomach , accompanied with severe pain and flatulency .

I also tried several patent medicines , bat without experiencing any benefit . I was worn out to a complete skeleton , —had a severe cough and spit , and was also troubled with Diabetes , and had ; no hope of ever recovering ; fortunately , however , I was informed by some of my neighbours , of the ! great benefit they had derived from Parr ' s Life Piils , purchased from you ; I accordingly agreed to give them a trial . I did so , and during the last eighteen months , I have taken about twelve boxes , wUich have been attended with the most happy results . ) I am now quite well in health , and am labouring very long hours .

BROTHER OPERATIVES A 21 D MSS OP ESGXAITD , — The prospect of the annihilation of one of th 9 most ! ancient , useful , and recognised trades of England , and ¦ the determination manifested by men in power te sacrifice xs&xmal labour to a mania - for machinery , and to advance the interests of the colonies at ths ezpence of the parent constry , justify m in endeavouring to excite public attention to our own case , and thereby yl&ce others on their guard against a system which has already proved nearly fatal to oar own trade . We * sel— -we ~~ have reason to feel—that a crusade baa commenced against working men ; and that the heartlesr experiment of dispensing with Tnann ^ i labour in any department of trade , for the sake of transient and imaginary benefits in the way of cheapness , is but the " beginning ol tbi end , " —the practical manifesto- Bob of a disposition to sacrifice all trades at the * nnhallowed shrine of aa avaricious monopoly . . Men invested -with legislaJava antbority vre ttnfor-Innately more attentive to class and peculiar interests than to society a * large . They seem to forget that working people constitute the base of society 5 and that if that base be weakened by the crude experiments of erocheteers and shallow political economists , the super- structure of nobles and squirearchy—of laadowners , merchants , manufacturers , and capitalists , most be in- volTed m one common ruin . The Sawyers are victims already j and it is right that they should be among the first to sound the tocsin of alarm . . Two causes are already in active operation to anmhi > late their trade . The first is the adoption of saw-mills , which afford no countervailing benefit to . the manifold disadvantages reenltang from the supercession of handlabour . In quality of work , and in economical use of timber , the advantages axe all on the side of ratting labour . Moreover , as . the work of Wood-sawyers is almost exclusively for home-consumption , a tax on
wood savtd by steam could ia noway affect existing I tariffs , or interfere with international regulations of I commerce . The monopoly of steam-sawing , in the i opinion of all impartial men , confers no advantages ! whatever on society in geseral ; but on the contrary , adds , grievously to the impoverishment of working men , and j occasions a consequent increase of poor-rates . Two-I thirds , at least , of the Sawyers formerly employed , are ' now out of work ; and sot only they , b * t the numerous 1 members of then families , wholly dependant on them ' for support , are , at present , doomed to endure all the accumulated horrors of indigence and despair , through the legislative toleration of a monopoly , sot recommended by any trait of usefulness to society , or any other redefemfeg advantage whatever . f But this is not all- In the fell spirit of that legisla . ! ticn which regards -the interests of remote colonial ! dependencies as paramout , and robs England—the I centre of the British dominions , and the heart of com- * mertial vitality , of that protection which should be given j to native industry—in exemplification of that fell spirit ; which forgets home amLgoes abroad tout munificence . I Wood sawed by mills is now imported from Canada . It ] i ; i ^ , | , | f ' ! | ' . j j : ] ( ] i
WiS 501 KBOtGH TO PCSTXB . A MOSOPOLT AT ' BOMS TO XEDTCE MaXTJAL LABOUR 15 EXGLAHD , ] BCT IT XUST ALSO BE TOSTERXD ABROAD , TO ' ASSiHiLAlE THAT Labour . Here then is sn iriva- ' sion of sot only the rights of manual labour at borne , ' but of the interests of the timber merchants , and even j the saw-mill monopolists of England . Sere is proof ' that Colonial indnstry will be fostered at the expense of ' native—of- home industry . What would the . mill- ' owners of Manchester say—how long would they sns- j tain the Anti-Corn law League with funds , if rnnnnfac- j tared cottons were to be imported into this country , ] and bought up by men who speculate on public credu- ¦ lity , ana prefer tfee imaginary cheapness of an article , to ! that article durable as a material , sod also recom- ; mendBd by superior workmanship ? Would not the j avocation of Cobden and such men be soon gone ? ' i ' ' i
The trsth is , an active crusade u bow carried on to ' redsce tte wages of manual labour , - not only below the ' standard of wages on the Continent , bat to a starvation j point . An effort is made to get a remunerative foreign ! market , 'by converting Englishmen into serfs , and mat- i lag their wages depend on the caprice of avaricious ! sjonopolists . Undersell foreigners at axy sacrifice cf Enytaxd'i ixdvitry , is the motto of "R TgHTh monopolists . ; " ; Mark ene Important truth , namely , that monopoly or ' machinery ,, though Dot immediately affecting trades , to ! which itdoes not immediately apply , nltimatfily reaches j all How is it that now when trade in the manufacture ing districts of Todtshire is ' ^ brisk , ** wool-combers , men j "who toil from five o'clock in the morning till ten at night ;
—cannot aversge 9 i each weekly ! The answer is , " the ! gsnsxsi poverty occasioned amoag those kindred classes i of operatives , whom maebinery and monopoly have ! amsled ?* It would not do for the wool-combers to * ¦ stand out among the cotton , doth , or worsted opera- \ lives , in isolated prommence , as s body prospering by { thtir mcaatal industry . ~ The consequence o ? ' allowing j majiual labour in any departments <* f work , to be super- \ Bedfed by macbiDery , is thatthe bands superseded will ! endeavour to obtain employment in other departments ' where ffl ^^ n ^ "labonr" & rectgnised , and ttns lessen wages , by the vast competition lor profitable employ- 1 meut Hence the gradual decline in wages generally . "Working men J rally bow or never for the trades—the J native industry of old England . Masters , merchant * , 1 and capitalists , rally for native industry * Strengthen the { working daises—the base of sodery . or prepare \ for the ovenhrow of the social fabric which cas only j
rest on that basis . J James Gooiheb , Chairman &f the Council . Committee Boom , Three Tuns , Pitt Street , Idverpo « L J . B .

the tfew PlBn of OrganizVJon . The fair writer asserts the equal rights of h . er own sex , and denounces the supposed opposition t > f the CharttBt body te what she conceives to be che " rights of women . " We have not room for . the entire letter , but give the following : — It a to be wetted that a body of men otherwise advanced , and . possessing many valuable truths , much political and . social knowledge , should mar so grand a move by any narrow and selfish views of human interests—men who , wisely and nobly resist class legislaVion , as a barbaric institution , worthy only of the lowest mental condition of mere animal man ! To find such aen , —it is painful to contemplate , —diminish flie glory of their enterprise by still preserving sex legislation!—a monstrosity ! fraught with no less evil in its deteriorating effects on human character and human happiness Ithan the first ab&nrdity , which the sword erected into law—which gross selfishness and filthy ignorance have maintained to the nreseat hour .
But , Mr . Editor , whatever may be thought by future and more enlightened ages , of the wisdom , policy , and humanity of the Chartist decree , by continuing ia their sew constitution the civil disabilities of women , they will have earned for themselves as a body'the reputation of honest men ( no small pries ) , by a public avowal of their views—so that woman may no longer remain in ignorance of the social condition reserved for her by the movement party , who , it appears , is not yet prepared to feel an enlightened abhorrence of slavery 1 Ajj Enemy to Whig and Tost Tt » annt sends us the following : —

Some . way or i other , the master received information of this , aad he I immediately gave orders to the effect—that all who | were known to be Chartists , or readers of that pernicious ; journal , < tke NortAern Star , ) would be turned off from j their employment Now , Sir , I think all must admit i that this is downright tyranny . But there is another ; circumstance also in connection with the above . ] It is well known that the recent disruption In the 1 Scottish Church gave rise to much clamour npon that > subject . This also had at times occupied the attention :-of the men ; and some did not hesitate to assert their ] utter disgust at the course taken by the " Nons . " I This also bad reached the ears of the master } and the ' consequence was that another edict was issued to the effect , that all infidels { for remember all are considered j infidels who do not agree with the master ) and Socialists ! were also to be turned off . The master , and also bis [ foreman , are both elders ot churches ; the one a cburch-| man , the other a dissenter ; the one a Whig , tie other ; a Tory . These men , no doubt , are considered very ¦ holy and religious by their respective sects . They muBt i be aware of the fact that the restraint which they have imposed apon their workmen has a tendency to create j hypocrisy ; and that which encourages hypocrisy must be opposed to practical virtae . ( The writer thus concludes : — * To the workmen I would say , cease not to read those ' newspapers which you think will give you the most : information , and advocate those principles which will prove most beneficial to you .

HlTCHEW , one of the " strike" victims recently liberated from Kirkdale gaol , returns bis sincere thanks to bis brother Chartista for the kindness they have shewn him . He adds that there are a number of victims remaining in Kirkdale , whose-situation calls loudly for assistance . He says , " I know them well , having suffered with them j their conduct has been such as to entitle them to the hearty sympathy and aid of the Chartist * . There is one individuaHn puticnlar , Mr . J . Williams , who is suffering under a . sentence of two years imprisonment He suffered greatly last winter , and I fear will again this . I hope he will not be forgotten , but that the Chartists will supply him with the little necessaries the rules of the prison will permit him to have . He is of a very delicate constitution and merits better support than he has hitherto had . " Mr . Hitchen concludes by expressing his determination to work more ssalouaiy than ever in the good work of establishing the prineiples of the People ' s Chatter . We commend the consideration of the above to the Victim Fund
Committee . Thouas Pipeb must pardon us fer not inserting his piping . He is a better patriot than a piper . P . Bi > " . f s—His lines will not bear criticism .

Qeobge Lisdsat—We are loth to disappoint % warmkearted Irishman like our poetic friend , but "justice to Ireland" requires that the birth-place of Moore should be addressed only in real poetry .

MB- Dosaldsos , Wabwick—The books of which he speaks are not yet prepared . So soon as the plan ia enrolled they will be got ready forthwith , and will be Bold at the lowest possible price . In lbs meantime the arrangements being temporary , temporary botis will have to be used . A Coustam Beadeb , Maschesteb , asksj— "If a . tenant occupy a house , ata > weekly rent of 4 s . 6 d . with an understanding that that rent ia to clear him of all taxes and rates ; and if a demand should be made on him for the window tax , can be be made to pay it ? " Yes : and all other rates and taxes : but if it was a condition when the house was taken that the landlord should pay them , the tenant can
stop the several amounts he pays out of the rent Oar correspondent farther asks : — "Tbe bouse having windows , one being blocked up with a flag , and having Bix air boles in it , two inches by twelve inches , will that be liable to be taxed ? " On this point we ' cannot satisfy hi ™ : but would recommend him , if he is assessed , to appeal . A LOJ . D 0 X Chabtist writes ns highly , praising a new novel from the pen of Mr .

and whit we demaud . The masters complain the most of the advance on Spear Blades , and that we may meet them on fair grounds we will soiect that ariicl 6 and give an account of the price of them . " [ Here follows a table of figures , for . which we have not room ] The address continues : — By this table you will perceive that we have made in some instances as many blades for one day work , as we ought to make for one and a half day work ; and at the same time only received the price of half a day ' s werk ; making one day ' s woik for nothing . This was done by us in tbe nine-inch work , of which we made four dozan and six for a day work , instead of two and a half dozen , and received for the four dojren and sfx blades 2 s ., or just half the price we ought to have bad for two and a half dozen . On all the large sizes we have been reduced one-half , and on the small sizas one-third . At this rate of wages a man could not earn sufficient of food for himself and family .

Yon will perceive that the masters want to advance one-third on a day work , and reduce the price of that day work frem 4 s . to 3 s ., or one-fourth . Knowing that they complain of the price of large spear blades , we have met them by reducing nine inches from Is . 7 d . pet dt en to Is . 2 tl . ; ten inches from Is . 8 } d . to Is . 5 d . ; eleven inches from 2 s . 3 d . to Is . 9 d . ; and twelve inches from 3 s . per dczen to 2 a ,, and yet they are not natisfied . -
Fellow-Townsmen , —You may now judge whether we are unreasonable in onr demands or not ; we have sacrificed 6 a . per day work on all foreign trade ; and we have made more blades per day work on all the large spear , and we have reduced from the count of none of tbe small siz «> . We have gone far on the conciliatory principle . But our employers are tbe men who wish to conciliate matters ! they would do it , as you may see by their statements , if we tcould give them one-half of our wages—and that , in justice to ourselves and families , we cannot da They have been unreasonable for tbe last five years , and remain so . They have acted the part of tyrants and opprestors . They reduced the price of labour , at first , a little at a time ; and whilttwe
could barely , subsist we submitted to it , nay we even endured it till we became so poor that we could not resiBt The masters ¦ - then took advantage of our necessities—they made encroachments upon our rithts until our homes are comfortless , our families unclothed and unfed , -and our qfiprings wiscfiooled growing up to maturity in ignorance . Our condition baa been unbearable , for we have been compelled either to wither out a hungry , miserable existence , or go into debt If other trades have been served by tbeir masters as w-e have , ( and we believe that to be the case ) , well may the shopkeeper be short of customers , or be obliged , t < # credit his goods to persons , who , however willing ^ Fhave not the ability to pay . " The address thai concludes : —
For the last few months , we have seen earning about 22 a . per week j at the ' same time , if we had had our original price , we should have been earning £ l 4 s ., and at the price we now a * k £ 1 Is . The masters complain of so sudden a rise , but why did not they raise our prices gradually 1 They have had sufficient opportunity , and have actually plttled us for having to work for so little- Bat their pity was insincere , or they would have made the attempt long ago ; and had they desired to see the employed well clothed , well fed , and comfortable they would not have reduced their men at alL If they had done their duty , they would have eonsuited the workman before they sold his labour beneath its value . The principle of avarice runs through all their movements ; : They bave competed with each other in the market—bave reduced the price , to induce
ths merchants to make large purchases ; by this means have glutted tbe market , and have been obliged to reduce again to obtain another sale . Thus their competition is the cause of reduction , and not the want of demand . But what care they for a \\ this?—tbe poor must pay for it , —the workmen must be the sufferers . Bad trade has too often been only a pretext for a bad man ' s encroachments on another ' s rights ; and in many instances they have selfishly pocketed Urge profits instead of circulating part of them amongst their workmen . Is this honourable dealing from man to man f If the masters think it is , let them anawer our statements , or call a public meeting , where the people may arbitrate tbe affair ;—If they do not we shall . They have been practising npon us lawless robsery , and now that we want the privilege to keep our own , they call us unreasonable .
Gracchus—We suggest to our correspondent that It will be better to . wait for tbe Enrolment of the present Plan , before we open any discussion as to *• desirable additions . "
