Be did not consider himself qualified to make a speech , bat he was willing to do what he could to
forward the cause ; he should , therefore , sit down by calling upon Mr . TOhn&n to address them . ( Cheers . )—Mr . Tillman then rose and said , that he did not expect when he came thither to have been called upon to address the meeting , bat , nevertheless , so . far as bis chcnmmribed abilities would permit , he was always willing to do what he could to forward the cause in which he was engaged ; bis anticipations were with those of the Chairman ' s respecting the room , ¦ far he thought from the manner in which the people had of late eome forward , that they tad cause to rejoice to wiiztess such a willingness to proceed until they had obtained those rights which they had been in pursuit of . It was by diffusing information , by xmion and agi tation , that they could expect
to proceed ; he thought likewise that they should not lose tight of those who were incarcerated for advocating the people ' s cause . He thought that the first thing that ought to be done was to procure bail , because if Hi . Say had to remain in prison one day more fowi the time for which he was sentenced , he would think more of it than a month of the time for which he was consigned . Then let us shew our persecutors thai we aspect oar leaders , and thai we do not desert them in the hour of need : nothing would give greater pleasure to oar oppressors than to see the people neglect them when they were in such a portion aot to help themselves . He believed that if the people had stood true to their leaders , that the . base faction dare not hare fattprt » on&a them . They had calculated upon their
Bnppost , and sorer / they would d » their daty . ( Hear , hear . ) He remarked that he ' was not charging say who were present of delinquency , for he ¦ aw aon * before him bat what had been al their post smder all eirai instances ; but there had been on the part « f many great pretensions made by shooting , cheering , sod clapping ; but , alas ! vrhen they came to be tried they were found wanting . He hppedth&S for the future , that they would rally round , those men wh © were safler . ing for their sak *; for , a * Mr . O'Connor had . told them repeatedly , that they could boast of their leaders—they * w Tirtooxu , honest , and worthy- to be supported .

Tillman then MM , and add thxt he lad another aabject to bring before the meeting , tad which , he thought , demanded their mort urgent attention . It was from those praise 'Watty men , the Glasgow Cotton Spinner * . When they considered that these men nad been banished from their hornet , their wives , and families , and their native cocntzy , for misting tbe oppiauion of the wwftx . iiwg « ottoa mtrtra , and tryia * to protect the labour of
wwtoaen , thereto resain for three years , abject to barah and gaOiag txeatafteaV when they knew that then Stan were marked by the masters ,. and could not get enploynwnt ; obHged to sit by the fireside , and witness their cbUdasn starving for food , and they not able to relieve them ; " and . when they thought of the manner in which they had behaved , themselves at the Hall of Science , he was sure that they would not object to do Trrontftthg for them . He knew -what it was to be a member of a Trades' Union , and he had bad . an opportunity of witnessing the eondoct of masters towards those who were deputed from the working classes to have an interview with them . The masters always looked upoa such men with suspicion , and be did not know that ever he wmt to a master on any
oscaston , but what he met a very cool reception : always jealous wen they of the working man doing anything to protect labour . ( Hear , hear . ) Saeh being the eaae they seed not wonder at the treat-X&efit ir iiidi these ebazaetezs had received . If tbe working cImmb did not try * to do something for such men as these , what encouragement could any man have for coming forward to resist oppression i He thnnght if they cicld not get work in thsir own country that something ought to be done for them ; for Scotland -was Bo longer a place for them , and the money which bad keen collected bad been expended in bringing them borne again ; he should , therefore , move that the letter be made as public as possible , to esxry which it should be Bent to the Northern Star , which was seeond&d .
Mt . Wheeler rose and said that he was quite agreeable for the letter to be inserted in the Star , bat they must look to their friends who were in prison . ; be wasmre they had as much on their hands at present' as they could possibly attend to . There were many towns who had so victims to support , and he thought they ouldast read that without doing something for them , indeed he had not the least doubt on his mind , but the trades generally would take up the case . It-was ultimately agreed tbat it should be sent to the Star for insertion , with a recommendation to the friends of liberty to come forward and do something for them . — Mr . Tillman , who seems to be a very tender-feeling yo * ng man , rather reluctantly gave way . I may add that the feeling which the reading of the letter , and the remarks of Mr . Tillman excited , was such as not cutty to be shewn .

"Tear humble servant , " Fbkderick Davidson . P . s . The following Cbartists send their best reg . pects to yew ana tne Committee : —Mr . Wheeler , Mr . Barker , Mr . Johnson , Mr . Atkin , and Mr . Scott " Mr . Wheeler thought this was a case that they were bound to attend . The lad was Buffering only because he said he was a Chartist ; he saw him in prison , and he thought he was honest and of a good diiposition , and deserved support . He therefore moved that his case be recommended to the Ralief Committee ; Wt he said it was of very little use sending it there , unless the members of the Association exerted themselves in getting funds . He hoped " , however , that they would push the
collectingbooks about , and do what they could , so that money might be sent to cenvey Davidson homo . It was seconded by some one , and carried unanimously that the case be laid before the relief committee . —Mr . Tillman rose and said , Mr . Chairman and friends , you appointed me to take the challenge to discuss the question of tbe Corn Laws with Mr . Murray , the anti-Corn Law lecturer , on Thursday evening last , at the Carpenters' Hall ; last Thursday evening , I attended to my appointment , and in order to have a favourable opportunity , I went and placed myself upon the stage some time before the aaiv&i of the Lecturer . I said , Mr . Murray , I am deputed to give you a
challenge to discuss the question of the Corn Laws ; but he , evidently wanting to shuffle , told me he would Bee me after the close of the lecture . I was not to be put off in that manner , for I knew how willing the Lecturers have always been to get out of the meeting as soon as possible . I therefore insisted on having an answer . He then asked if I was willing to take the side of the landed interest I answered , no ; but I was willing to discuss , in connection with the factory system . At this he Beamed completely thunderstruck , and I believe it was the means of quashing the lecture , for such a poor miserable thing I never heard . He told me he would not discuss upon such terms .
COPT OF THE CHALLENGE . " TO MR . MURRAY , PER WM . TILLMAN . "SiB , —Giving you credit for the best motives in advocating a repeal of the Corn Laws , and paying that deference which is due to exalted talent , butfeeliag at the same time that the opinions which you are endeavouring to propagate , are founded in error aud supported by arguments , which neither you nor any other individual can maintain , the members of the Universal Suffrage Association of Manchester ; pbblicly ohallenge eithtr you or any other Corn I * w Kepealer to a fair and public discussion with one of their members , upon the subject of your lecture , as connected with the interests of the working classes , and consequently the prosperity of th » country at large .

Mr- Tillman then moved , " That it is the opinion of tfci » meeting that the Corn Law League give their leetnrers special orders not to meet Mr .

" The motion * as seconded by one of the members , who aaid he did bo because if they uad any honesty at aU , ; they would come out Carried unanimously . The Secretary ; then read up several names to be put in nomination for the National Council . Mr . Wheeler was elected to take the presidentship of the local committee , and the meeting broke up after giving notice that Mr . TUtean would deliver a lecture in the same zoom on that eveningweek .
GLASGOW . —Pdbuc WarasQ . —A public meeting of delegates from trades , districts , and workshops , in and around Glasgow , was held in St . AinV Church , Great Hamilton . Street , on . Tueaday emiin * last , to resolve upon the , nature of th » fioming demonstration , and to make toe necessary arrangements to insure its success . The delegates holding written credentials . from their . eoastitae&tB , * e » - admitted to the area of the . ohurdL , while the pob-Kc were allowed to occupy the gauerv . Su / ch- was the interest excited Tjyfte placard , that ' efeiry part of the building w » a densely : crowded # vin before the hour of meeting . Mr . Johu-Rod ^ er being appointed chairman , opened the business by stating the object of the meeting . * He intimated that b
y letter which had been , received , Collins and M'DoualJ would be in Glasgow either on Saturday the 15 th , or Monday the 21 st of September . Mr . Jack then directed attention to the credentials and instructions received at the doors . After some discussion , it was agreed to call over the delegates in rotation , and that they should report the instructions given them by their constituents . Upwards of one hundred delegates , making in all between two and three hundred delegates from the districts and principal factories and workshops in and around Glasgow , were present , who in concise terms stated the wishes of their fellow-wwkerB . It would be superfluous here to give all the names of these , suffice it to say , all entered most ent jusiasticallv into the
nroposal of a demonstration in honour of these martyrs , M'Douall , Collins , and Lovett , when they do arrive , and all pledged them . seJves for tbe places they represented that the needful wonld not be a wanting . After considerable discussion it was agreed , on the motion of Mr . Charles M'Xay , that Monday , 21 st September , should be the day of demonstration . On the motion of Mr . Adam Diion , it was also agreed by a great majority , that each district , with all its workers in different factories and workshops , should walk in procession to the Green , and after forming in order there , they should proceed to meet the patriots , and then walk with them ' through the city . A large and influential committee was then appointed to carry out the minor arrangements . Mr .
Jack then rose and said , that having BOW finished the business for -which the meeting hid been oiled , he would take advantage of their presence to bring before them another business . It waa understood that Lord John Russell vras about to visit the north of Scotland , and a number of the Glasgow Whigs had resolved to request him to accept of a public dinner . A requisition had accordingly been Jajd down for signature in the Tontine and Royal Exchange , and after lying three days , had only about one hundred signatures . Now , as tbe Chartists had several matters to settle with bis Lordship , it had been thought proper to get up a requisition to back that of the Whigs , which had been so unsuccessful . It was proposed to send the following requisnien : —
" TO THE BIGHT HON . LORD JOHN BCSSELL . "Mt Losd , —Understanding tbat a few Whigs in Glasgow are about to request your Lordahip to accept of a public dinner , we , toe undersigned Chartists at CHaegow , particularly request your Lordship to accept of that invitation , in order thut we may have it in our power to confront your Lordship with three victims of a vicious Government , of which your LordsMp is a leading member , Collins , Lovett , and M'Douall ; aad to afford us an opportunity of putting a few question to your Lordship respecting the finality of the Reform Bill—the state of the country , with respect to the Corn Laws—our own distressed condition , and many other equally important subjects . " ( Loud laughter . ) Any who approved of this OOuld «« & it "i going out . Thanks were then v « ed to the Church Committee , and to the Chairman , when the meeting dispersed .
Attempt to Defeat the Chabmts . —A public meeting of the inhabitants of tbe North Quarter was held in Weaver-street , on Monday evening last to consider the propriety of appointing delegates to attend the meeting to be held in S ; . Ann ' s chuTCfe on Tuesday , and also to consider the propriety of taking part iu the expected demonstration . Shortly after the hour , the place of meeting was crowded . It was remarked that a great number of new faces appeared in the meeting—men who never attended Chartist meetings , and who did not even reside in tke district . They were altogether a very mongrellooking squad . Amongst them was recognised cashiered clerks , ** we foresmen , " pretending to the title of middle-class men , and a number of
wellknown beagles . There were also a few God-forgotten weavers , brought here by the bribe of iglast of whisky and a piece of loa f . The whole of the alien squad were under the direction of ft well-known character of the name of Graham . ' Mr . R . Watson being called to the chair , opened the proceedings by Stating the object for which the meeting had been called . Mr . Hunter then rose , and after a few remarks , moved the appointment of delegates to attend the meeting to be held in St . Ann ' s church . This motion having been seconded , one of the mongrels present moved an amendment , to the effect that no delegates be sent . This being also seconded , a keen debate ensued . As might have been expected , ihe debate elicited proofs of the grossest ignorance from the little Whig clique , who attempted to disturb the harmony of the meeting . The very individual who moved the amendment asked what Collins , Lovett , and M'Douall had been imprisoned for . The effect of a
little good argument from Mr . Colqnhoun and Mr . Tait was soon manifested by the interlopers crowding together at the further end of the room , ashamed to stand forward , but at the same time determined , if possible , to mar the object of the meeting . After considerable discussion , a vote was taken when the clique teller pronounced the numbers equal ; while the other declared the motion carried . This vote being unsatisfactory , it was agreed , after much opposition from the Whigs , that the house be divided . During all this time , two whippers-in were busily overhauling the district , offering the bribe of whisky and bread . Three carters were persuaded to leave their "horses and cans in charge of a boy , and to swallow the bribe . These three , with an old pensioner found half-drunk at the counter of a changehouse , and the two whippers-in , making six in ali , entered the place just as the house were about to rise . A division being at last effected , the original motion was then carried by a majority of one . The

poer would-be Whigs , with their drunken carters , pensioners , beagles , Ac , then left the room eompletely chopfallen . Delegates were then appointed , and other business transacted , after which the meeting broke up . It was afterwards discovered , that exertions had been made , during the whole of Sunday , to procure numbers to swamp the meeting ; and so confident were they of suooess , that a fuddle took place at a middle class beamer ' a , before going to tbe meettag . No exertions were made by the Chartists to get a meeting further than posting three or four written bills . . Chabtist Social Meetings . —This is another new feature in connexion with the movement in this quarter ; and if we-might judge from the respectability of the audiences who attended the Lyceum , on the evenings of Saturday the 15 th and 212 nd inst ., we wonld say it k likely to be as useful ; and more attractive than any other . To what means now can it be said that the Chartists are apathetic or indifferentwhen the dissemination of their prinpoer would-be Whigs , wilh their drunken carters ,
, ciples is the object . Public Meetings—Co-opera tive Stores—Sunday Worship—and Social Meetings are made the vehicles for the spread of Chartism . Under these circumstances , bow can their just tnd equitable doctrines of civil and religions freedom fail being generally known and appreciated . At the first of these Saturday evening meetings , in addition to a host of talent in the matter of vocal and instrumental music , Mr . W . C . Pattison delivered a neat and appropriate address upon the subject of tbe Chartist movement , and the duty of working men at this crisis . At the second meeting , which was a crowded one , Mr . Malcolm , jun ., delivered a short and appropriate address upon the advantages attendant on the study of political science , and on the evils attendant on neglect of this description of knowledge . We hope these Saturdar meetings will receive that encouragement from all olaBses of the community , which their intrinsic merits demand . ' >

Bri ght , luv © bee * achieved ; But that division destroyed our efforts , and to some of our principal jif our leaders . may \» attributed the great failure That took place . We do mention tbe * etttS 9 S * O firm * < Sii *^*> truth , and to warn the people against putting too great a reliance in
those Who * Uy ,-by ohfcnce or elrcuniatances , h » ppen to be popular . * W ^ imigbV fully illustrate' all we have said , but this might lead to recriminations of an unpleasant character ; moreover , such a course might lead to division—a thing , above all others , we are anxious to guard against . There is one thing , above all others * which , claims your especial care and attention , and thai is , the forlorn and destitute condition of a great number of good and clever men , who are suffering from an ardent desire to forward the interests of the people ; and yet those men , and all those who were dependent upon thtiu , are suffering the greatest indignities and privations , as they have not even the consolation of knowing that the people appreciate their suffering , for many
of their wives and children are in a state bordering on starvation . Is this the way you treat your best patriots ? Can you expect other men of talent and ability to take an interest in your welfare ? No ! Then cease your agitation , for it is at beat but amockery . You do not seem to have a correct knowledge of true principles , or you would not have supported these men in what they did , much less have neglected them , when they are goffering from an ardent desire to surve you . There is one coarse , in our opinion , which you ought to pursue with the utmost care and eiecerity , and that is—a strict adherence to principle , regardless of this popular man or that eloquent man j for depend upon it , too much reliance ought not to be placed ou any one , for U is but seldom we meet with a Pynv , a Marvel , or
a Washington . Thus for a people to be happy , by securing those political rights for which we are contending , they must be fully sensible of their value , a : id use them as they would do the virtue of a mistress . In this case , good Government would be generally secured ; and from a neglect of those thingH , errors of the mo » t f « ta ) character will creep In , like the insect , and destroy the core of the most healthy and vigorous plant " Be just and fear not , " and above all things think for yourselves , or else depend upon it you will be tbe dupes of selfish and designing demagogues , and thus the purpose of public liberty will be completely frustrated . Delegates have been sent to Manchester , and they have agreed upon a plan , vbich will be laid before you for your consideration ; it is for you either to
adopt or make such alterations or modifications , as in yeur judgment you may deem proper ; but w » would strongly advise you to adopt if . There is another subject which we consider it our duty to mention , which is , the agitation now going on in respect totbeforeignpolicy of Lord Palmenton . The principal movers in this agitation are men who have not hitherto been muoh mixed up with politics ; but at the same * ime they are men who can apparently have ao direct interest in making the charges which they do , but from an ardent desire to serve their country . This may be otherwise ; but until we see a disposition of this kind , we have no right to suspeet them , more especially as they are men placed aVove the sphere of want , and can have no Interest In propagating the
doctrines Which they teach . Y « u ate not required to give up anything by attending to this subject ; aud surely you will be nothing worse of additional infor mation ; for Dr . Johnson has told us , that" knowledge is power , " and so it is , aud the sooner you wield that power , the better for yourselves , for it will shield you against all humbugs and deceptions—the interested demagogue will be powerless , and the plota of the intriguer of no avail ; but standing , as you will , on the pinnacle of truth and justioe , you may safely defy all the machinations of your enemies . If you wish for the Charter , you must shew yourselves worthy of it , by supporting those who have endeavoured to obtain it for you . Be unanimous , and nothing can withstand you j allow
yourselves to be divided , and the veriest , designing , lying demagogue may take advantage of you ; and while they do this , they will laugh at your weak , neas , and plot measures for more strongly rivetting the chains of alavery around you . We are anxious for you to obtain your rights in a moral way , if possible ; but if your enemies will have it otherwise , then upon their own heads be the awful responsibility . But oh ! av * id the horrible disasters which occurred in France : her brave people achieved everything—they had nothing to do but mould the State or Constitution in that safe and secure way which would have brought fruits of the most beneficial character ; but , alas ! their situation Is worse ,. if that be possible , th&n under the ordinances of Charles . From the want of discernmtnt
on the part of the people , and placiDg too great a reliance on men whom they had a right to believe were patriots , their country has been sold , tyrannies of a worse description have sprung np , and the blood of France ' s best patriots has been shed in vaiu . To obtain public liberty is only one part of your duty ;

but to secure its benefits and blessings is another and Car more important , and this you can only do by having atiheck on public awn . The principles of the Charter r * easily-unders ^ tod , and it only requires you to act tp ctMoaatWBji Vr ^ tecure everything you want : but without that oijton , you most content yourselves with eoBtinulBf ft » be the slaves of the two cursed and wicked # factions which at present rule over us . Xiodk upon that man as your greatest enemy who -would wlah to' create disaffection or discontent ameng you—for be assured such men are . ti » eurm of mankind , sent into the world like Satan iato th * garden of Paradise , for no other purbutto secure ito tenants and blessinn is another m ^
pose , but-that of creating unhappiness and entailing upon mankind those evils and calamities , which their own evil nature has created . He only is your friend who , in this diwatroua country , would msetevib as a man , Bind in journeying along , wonld combat the obstacles in bis way , with a view to gat forward , and not like some who have pretensions to liberty , increase mole bills into mountains , and would thus discourage tbose who were last journeying te the castle of reform .

TO THE RADICALS AND WORKING MEN OF LEEDS ! 17 RIENDS , —The time has now arrived when the JL poor and humble Victims to the brutal treatment of the cowardly and dastardly Whigs , must necessarily be released from their damp and gloomy dungeons , bearing the marks of their HbcraT' ana kind nsage , once more to mingle in the society of their fellow-men , from which they were so inhumanly dragged . Several of our best Men have already regained their liberty , and have been received by the Radicals of other Towns with snob
demonstrations of joy and gladness , as plainly shew that they have had the sympathy and well wishes of an immense majority of the strength of the Nation—the Working Classes of this country . The Members of The Leeds Radical Universal Suffrage Association have come to the determination to honour the following Patriots and Martyrs to our cause with a PUBLIC DINNER , namely—Dr . M'DOUALL . Mr . JOHN COLLINS , and Mr . GEORGE WHITE . The Dinner to be held in the Mvsic Saloon , on Monday , the Seventh of September next , to which the following Gentlemen hive been invited : —
GENERAL JOHNSON , M . P . THOMAS DUNCOMBlS , Esq ., M . P . JOHN FIELDEN , Esq ^ M . P . THOMAS WAKLEY , £ so ,., M . P . COLONEL THOMPSON . JOHN WATKINS , & « . CAPTAIN WOOD . Mr . PITKETHLY . Mr . BAIRSTOW . We , the Committee appointed by the Leeds Radical Association , do hereby , therefore , call upon the Working Men , and every true Radical in LeedjS , to attend the Dinner given in honour of the liberation of these truly honourable , patriotic , and injured men , and thereby testify to them that , although that
have been for several months tortured and pining in he cold , damp and merciless Whig dungeons , that your hearts have been still with them ; and now-that they are restored to you they recall to your recollection olden times , which shall stimulate you to mako greater exertions in the wide field for universal happiness than yon have hitherto done . Arouse ! arouse ] then , ye mea of Leeds ! be not behind other towns in this our great and glorious cause . Let it not be said that you are dead and care not for your independence , but unanimously come forward and
welcome to Leeds the men who have for so long been severed from all which renders life worth havingthe ties of affection , of kindred , and their personal liberty . P .

The Work which is now presented to the public is " the reralt of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affections , which for some nnaocountable reason have been either altogether overlooked , or treated with apathy , and almost indifference , by the ordinary practitioner . To enter into the details of these affections , w point out their causes , and , to mark the terrific consequences , social , moral , and p hysical , which are sure to . follow from indulgence , m certain habits , would be entirely oat of place in an advertisement . We have no hesitation , however , in saying that there is no member of society , by whom the book will not be found interesting , whether -we consider snch person to hold the relation of a PARENT a PRECEPTOR , or aCLERGYMAN .
The PARENT , who beholds his beloved child pining away , and fast approaching to a premature , grave , in consequence of some disease , which for want of a careful investigation of its real cause , has been set down to the score of consumption , will , on perusing this work , be astonished to find that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes , who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption , heart disease , tabes , « fco ., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits , practised by youth much more frequently than ia at all suspected .
The PRECEPTOR , also , who holds temporarily , at least the relation and responsibility of a parent , will , b ; perusing this work , be directed , and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced into schools , whereby the health and ultimately the lives of bis pupils are sure to be compromised ,, unless the evil be checked in proper time . He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate ' mazes of this moral labyrinth , and a standard
whexeoy to judge , when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges , what the real cause of snoh attack may be , and thus he will be enabled to check tbe evil in its incipient state . The CLERGYMAN , in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor , will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them , if not relinquished . * .
Messrs . CURTIS and CO . are to be consulted daily at their residence , No . 7 , Frith-street , Soho , from Ten till Three , and Five till Eight in the Evening . Country Patients are requested to be , as minute as possible in the detail of their cases—as to the dun * tion of the complaint , the symptoms , age , general habits of living , and occupation in life of the party ; the communication must be accompanied by the usual consultation fee of £ 1 , without whioh no notice whatever oan be takoa of their application ; and in all cases , the most inviolable secrecy may be ' relied on . . ¦ " ¦ ¦¦ N * B . —Seven Doors from Soho Square .

Leeds , and 4 , Great Charles-street , Birmingham ! and given gratis with each Box of PERRY ' S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS , price ^ a ? 9 d-4 s . 6 dH and 11 s . per Box , containing a full descriiH tion of the above complaint , iUustrated by Engravings , shewing the different stages of thia . deplorable and often fatal disease , as well as the dreadful effects of Mercury , accompanied with plain and practical directions for an effectual and . speedy cure , with ease , secrecy , and safety , without the aid of Medical assistance . .
«¦•«—Perry ' B Purifying Specifie Pals , price 2 a . 94 , 4 s . 6 d ., and 11 b . ( Observe none are genuine without the signature of R . and L . Perry on the side ot each wrapper ) which are well known throughout Europe and America , to be the most certain and effectual care ever discovered for every Stage and Symptom of the Venereal Disease , in both sexes including Gonorrhsea , Gleets , Secondary Symptoms Strictures , Seminal Weakness , Deficiency , ; and Diseases of th « Urinary Passages , without loss of time , confinement , or hindrance from business They have effected the most surprising cures , not onlv in recent and severe cases , bnt when salivation and all other means have failed : and when an earlv
application is made to these Fills , for ( ho euro of the Venereal Disease , frequently contracted in a moment of inebriety , the eradication is generally completed in a few days ; and in the more advanced and inveterate stages of venereal infection , characterised by a variety of painful and distressing symptoms , a perseverance in the Specific Pills , in which Messrs . Perry have happily compressed the most purifying and healing virtues of the principal part of the vegetable system , and which is of the utmost importance to those afflicted with Sooibutic affections . Eruptions on any part of the body , Uloerationa , 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 . The rash , indiscriminate , and unqualified use of Mercury , has been productive of infinite mischief under the notion of its being ah antidote for a certain disease , the untutored' think they have only ft » satnnte their system with Mercury , and the business is accomplished . Fatal , error ! Thousands are annually either mercurialized out of existence , or their constitutions so broken , and . the . functions of natare so impaired , as to render the residue of life miserable . The disorder we have in view owed ita
fatal resnlts either to neglect or ignorance . In . the first stage it is always , locaL ind easy to be extinguished by attending to the directions folly pointed out in the Treatise , without the smallest injury to the constitution ; but when neglected , or improperly treated , a mere local affection will be converted into an incurable and fatal malady . What a pity that % young man , the hope of his country and the darling of his parents , should be snatched from all the pros pects and enjoymetns of life by the consequences of one unguarded moment . and by a disease which is not in its own nature fatal , and which never proves so if properly treated .
It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to this horrid disease owing to the nnskilfulness of illiterate men , who , by the use of that deadly poison , mercury , ruin the constitution , cause ulceration . blotches on the head , face , and body , dimness of sight , noise in the ears , deafness , obstinate gleets , nodes on the shin bone , ulcerated sore throats , diseased nose , with nocturnal pains in the head and hmbs , till at length a general debility of the constitution ensues , and a melancholy death puts f t period to their dreadful sufferings .
Messrs . Perry and Co ., Surgeons , may be consulted , as usual , at No . 2 , Britannia-street , Wellington-road . Leeds ; and No . 4 , Great Charles-street Birmingham . Only one personal visit is required from a country patient to enable Messrs . Perry and Co . to give such advice » 6 will 1 » the means of effecting a permanent and effectual cure , after ill Other means have proved ineffectual .
