"VTERVOUSNESS is a term which embraces & JLN frightful catalogue of disorders—even to insanity itself—to describe a tenth part of the symptoms nervous patients experience would fill a volume ; but although their variety is so great , they are all referable to one and the same cause . A nervous patient is like a musical instrument with its chordB loosened , emitting all sorts of discordant instead of harmonious sounds . What is , therefore , wanted to restore a nervous patient to health 1 Ths answer is , equalizing the circulation of the blood .

Northern Star Office , Leeds , March 17 tb , 1842 ; f *" n 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 flittering intelligence of the groat goodyourpills are 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 , predjudice 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 .
