MEDICAL ADYICE . TO THE APPLICaiEP WITH SCURVY , VENEREAL , OB SYPHILITIC DISEASES , RHKtJMATISa , AMD NERTOUS OQ SEXUAL DEBILITY . MR . M > WILKINSON , . ¦' ; : SURGEON , &o . 13 , Trafalgar-Street , Leeds . And every Thursday , at No . 4 , George Street , Opposite East Brook Chapel , Bradford , HAVING devoted his studies ^ for many years exclusively to the various diseases of the generative and nervous system , in the removal of those distressing debilities arising from a secret indulgence in a delusive and destructive habit , and to the successful treatment of : VENEREAL AND SYPHILITIC DISEASES , Continues to be consulted from nine in the morning till ten at night , and on . Sundays till two , —and country patients requiring his assistance , by making only one personal visit , will receive such advice and medicines as will enable them to obtain a permanent arid effectual cure ; when all other means have failed , In recent cases of a certain disorder a perfect cure is completed in one week , or no charge made fox medicine after that period , and in those cases where other practititioners have failed , a perseverance in his plan , without ¦ . restraint " -i ' n ' -.. diet , or hindrance from business , will ensure to the patient a permanent and radical cure . It frequently happens that in moments of thoughtlessness a person imbibes a disease where suspicion is least likely to be excited ; this state of securitj leads to a want of caution which aggravates the nature of the complain t . But where immediate application is made , ihe corroding poison ia checked in its infancy , smothered ere it takes root , and destroyed before its venom can effect a perceptible appearance in the system . —Where the disease has been allowed to exist and remain , the more cause have we to fear the undermining influence of thia poison , and a mere removal of its external appeal ' an ' ce is not to be depended upon ; a thorough cure must be achieved to prevent a return of the diseas « i and leave the system free from all infection . A complete knowledge of the symptoms and treattnent of these insidious and dangerous diseases , caa only be acquired by those who are in daily practice , and have previously gone through'a regular course of Medical Instruction ; for , unfortunately , then are hundreds who annually fall victims to the ignorant use Of Mercury and other dangerous remedies administered by illiterate men , who _ ruiu the constitution by su £ ferini ; disease to get into thia systeia which being carried by the circulation of the-. blow into all parts of the body , the whole frame becomes tainted with venereal poisot ; , and most unhappy cobsequences ensue , at one time affecting the sku j particularly the head and face , with eruptions am ulcers , closely resembling , and often treated as scuryji at another peripd producing the most violent paiia in the Haubs and bones , which are frequently mi * takenfor rheumatism ; tuusthe whole frame becomes debilitated and decayed , aud a lingering death puU a period to their dreadful sufferings . What a grief for a young person in the very pritf of life , to be snatched out of time , and from all the enjoyments of life , by a disease aivvays local at firt and which never proves fatal if properly treated , H al 1 its fatal results are owing either to negleot of ignorance . : Mr . W . s invariable rule is to give a Card to eld of his Patients as a guarantee for curej which » pledges himself to perform , or return hi 3 fee .

_ LETTER FROM MR . W ; HICK , NORTHERN STAR OFFICE , LEEDS . . "Norihern Star Office , Leeds , March 17 th , 1842 . 'II p ENTLEMEN , —You will oblige 'by forward- ' \ X ing , at your earliest convenieace , the same quantity of PARR'S LiFE PILLS as last sent . While I am writing , I cannot refrain from communicating the flattering intelligence , of tho great good your pills 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 , prejudice is fast giving way , as it always must where the pill ' s are tried . A few cases in point may serve to confirm and illubtrate 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 fftjftiboxes of Parr ' s Life Pills , she was completely restored , as was evident by the way she spoke .. ' / ; ¦ . ' . . . ' - '¦ . - ' . . ¦ ¦ - . ¦ - ' , '¦ ' ¦ " Very many cases of extraordinary cures have occurred among the aged work-people , both male and female . In one mill , an old pair , enfeebled by disease and debilitated by premature old age , had become almost past work they wew persuaded to try a few boxes of PARR'S LIFE PILLS , and in a week were so restored and Btrengthened that they could pursue their employment with pleasure and profit ; so-much bo , 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 ia here , tho old p . eople 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 absance ; and it is a laughable fact , that Parr ' s Pills come in for a share . of their rancour . The-olH people continue to take the pills regularly in small--. quantities , and find them as necessary to their health and prosperity as their daily food . . ' ; . * The noxt and last' »»!» which I shall mention at this timej is one of a niest extraordinary nature . I have not seen the individual myself , but I shall give you the fact as I have received it from his : employer , and from Mr . J . Hobson , wh » has frequently seen him since his cosvabscence . The man is a working meohanic and had -spent about thirtypounds last year on tho doctor , in going to the Isle of Man andother 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'take anything stronger . H 19 body was greatly emaoiatbd , and his temporal prospects clouded ; with a mind filled with melancholy forbodings 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 rejurn ; 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 ho was seeh a few days ago by Mr . Hobson , ( it bein £ dinner-hour ) eating beef-steaks with great gusto ; and to whom ho recited with pleasure and gratitude the cause of his then healthy condition , together witli a lonje ; history of his past affliction . "Should the above three cases of cures be considered worthy of your not'lcoi you are at perfect liberty to make what use of them you think proper . I am , Gentlemen , yours , respectfully . "WILLIAM HICK . < vTo Mes 3 ra . T . Roberts and-Co ., 9 , Crane Court , Fleet-street , London . ' Tlie .. following letter affords another convincing proof of the almost miraculous power of the farfamed remedy of Old Parr . 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 PARR'S LIFE PILLS . Before having recourse to them , I had been for upwards of fiva years afflicted with a distressing malady , which the different eminent medical men who attended me all pronwnced to be a serious case of hydrocele ( or dropsy , of the scrotum ) , and declared there was nootherchance of either relief or cure than undergoing a . surgical operation . I was thug driven to despair , and consulted ihe treatise writtenby Sir Astloy Cqoper , wherein he states that the operation is generally attended wish considerable danger ; I . therefore , determined not to risk so painful and uncertain -an experiment , ' -but " rather chose to leave the result to datura- . aud Providence . Fortunately , I heard of tho / gcea-i fa ; ne ofPARR'S LIFE PILLS , and resolved to f , ive them a fair trial . I consequently took them for some time without perceiving any benefit , but still kept persevering ; and I have now taken twelve boxes , and to iny treat joy , I am ' perfectly well ; thq . dropsy--is entirely removed , together with a scorbutici 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 bottor . . h ' ealch , aud . spirit ' s than I have be \ n for fourteen years . I feel certaiH y 6 u 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 .

The lecturer was patronised ¦ fcy the elite of the neighbourhood , as . regards wealth station , icfloeaoe , and respectability , who honoured tha meeting mta their presence . At half-past seTen Mr . Stallwood ascended the steps of the cross amid profound silence ; showed the awful extent of the pre-TsU : cg distress in England , Scotland , and Ireland-, traced the cause to class legislation , and the remedy in the adoption in the principles of the Peopled Charter . A vote in tVvour of the principles -was unanimously passed . At the conclusion of the address Mr . John Matthews , watch and clock maker , stepped forward and moved the following resolution : — " That -we , the
people of Leighton Bczzjd , Beds , in public meeting assrmbled , have heard with delight that Joseph S targe " , Esq ., of Birmingham , tie advocate of the people ' s rigi > t 3 as embraced in the six points is a candidate for " the vacant seat in the representation of the borough of Not- j tingham , and most earnestly entreated the electors to j use the sacred trust committed to their charge in the retu ? E of the man of the people's choice , and ihus ¦ wi fe away the deep stain of corruption , immorality , j and crime now c ' n&rged upon their bow ugh , an < J thereby j tor the death knell of Toryism ; destmy ei-dss legisla- ties by setting a lasting example to ail other constitnescies of honesty , integrity , and patriotism , by the fiUhful exercise of their elective franchise . " Mr . H . ! Sarsmels , tailor , seconded the motion , and it ivas ] esrrud unanimously , and ordered to be forwarded to ; JfoviEgtam . Thus ended the most orderly , pc-ice-able , ; and quiet meeting . I

a wrong channel , the people should therefore , as far as they are able , become tha instructor of tbeir own children ; and to accomplish which I will now slate my opinions on domestic education . I hava before 8 sat-d that coercion is now cenerally used , instead of which I ¦ would substitute affection , and by blending education with amusement , make it both agreeable and instructive . Thus the children will receive the rudiments ef education . It would grow with him , and thus a thirst for knowledge would be created , which might eventually enable the people to comprehend the cause of , and overthrow tyranny . I have advised several families to adopt the following simple manner , which , wherever it has been carried ont , has been more successful than my most sanguine anticipations . Get the whole of the twenty-six letters of the alphabet printed on an equal number of large cards , hanging them around the house in common with other articles of
household furniture , and constantly exposed to the child ' s-view . Let me ask , bow Ion ? do your children require to learn the names of table , chair , bed , stool , ko . ? Gould they not learn tha chnv . renc 9 between the character of tha letters thus pls-ced with the same facility as thf y .-would the articles of furniture and receive the first part of their education- in this "Way imperceptably , and without being tasked ? Could they not then be taught to express many of their little wants by a combiiution of those letters ( forming words ) , and thus education would steal involuatarily upon the youthful mind , and make it a pleasure instead of a pain ? Mr . C . then impressed upon his audience the propriety of parents attempting domestic education , and after entering at great length into the modes generally adopted
| ! j in teaching ariihiKetic . geography , and the minor i branches of e . lucs . Mon , which he tried to simplify to suit the capacity of children in their earliest years , concluded by exhort . ng them to unita for the purpo 39 of procuring those rights to which they were entitled by birth a 3 Britons . By eo doicg , the powers that be ( which a : e not rot of Gkxl ) could no iongor rob them of their birthrights . They themselves are ashamed of their actions ; they durat not test their deeds of rtarkness , havin ; plainly shown by thaii" conduct at the presentation ef the National Petition , that they have not a sufficiency ef faith in their conduct to bring it in contact with the truth and justice of the peoples claims .

should feel it his bounden duty to make public restitution to them before he would boast of having availed himself of the beneat of a jubilee —( hear ^ h ear . ) 01 what use was this boast ? what good did it do ? Surely men of true piety shrunk for -very shams when they read ifc . For his part he could not help thinking of the Pharisee and the Publican , when he read it in the newspapers . The Lord Mayor has said ever and over again , that our Association is unlawful , and when the Whigs ( his friends ) -were iu power he was not ashamed to point cut the Association and its most active members to the tender mercies of the Whig Attorney General—( hear , heav ) . At another time ha described us as a set ft Orangemen , and again as Ribbonmen , and thus
creating prejudice against ns upon all sides . Well , here we are , after all , hearty and merry , our numbers increasing every day ; the people learning who and ' what we are , and what our views , objects . and institutions are , which shows that tha hand of Divine Providence is always ¦ with those who have truth anil justice on their side ; and the name and proceedings of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association and its services to the country will bs recorded in history , and revered by tfee people , when the real character of the betrayer and destroyer of the forty shilling freeholders , aad the supporter of the base , bloody , and brutal authors of the Coercion Act , and the Poor Laws Amendment Act , will bs remembered only to be abhorred and detested .

It is . no doubt , in the recollection of most of
those present , that Mr . O'ConneU had some time aso s ? iven a very ludicTous description of the colour of a Chartist ' 8 face , and of the length of his ears , Rnd the danger of comin ? in contact wita him . Tlie Repeal Wardens , or more properly speaking the collectors of money , nnder tbo pretence of applying it to Kepeal the Union , but for the real purpose of maintaining a staff of hungry place-hunters at the Corn Exchange , who have no visible or known mode of living than that , of professing patriotism for a farthing a week , receive their weekly instructions from " dvar Kay '' to ba on their ^ uard lest Chartism should rear its hideous head within the precincts of their respective jurisdiction ? . Sj ranch had been said and snng against the Irish Universal Suffrage Association , and agiunst its
president niore especially , that when it became known in a certain tow-n , not quite fifty miles from Dublin , that he ( Mr . O'Histjius ) was at the hotel there , several persons solicit-d it as a . special favour to be permitted to see what Eort ff an animal be ( Mr . 0 "H : ijfdn 8 ) whs . ( Laughter . ) Finding that he was not ha : f so black or so ugly , as he "was painted ; they ventured to asb him some questions about the Associatisu ; nnd , on hearing the principles explained , and reading that admirable little publication , "What is a Chartist ?" they very naturally ask ^ rt him why it was Mr . O'Connell waa so much opposed to that which appeared to them to be so good ? To this qu-stion lie ( Mr . O'Higgins ) could give no other answer than this , that when the Whigs were in power , Mr . O'Connell lost
his election for the city of Dublin , beciuso he would not give a pledge in writing , "that hu would support no administration but one that would give its % ftiei" . l advocacy to Universal Suffrage , Vote-by Ballot , Annual Parliaiuen . ts , Eq ' . al E !<« toral DLstr ; cts , tho abolition of the Property Qualification ,-aud the iltjht of tha electors to pay th » -ir representlves . " He rtfasod to eive this pledge , and lost Dobiin by the re / usa ' . Several aaked -why ha would refuse that ? " was it not the real thing 1 Sure every licneat mm must be ( or that . " He refused it ,-because the Whi * 3 , who j ; iiv < j good fat places to bis sons-in-law , ami his son and his nephews were against it ; " and . he could not well e ,: t against those who h : id done eo much for him nad bit ) At this stage of the conversation , a Royeal Warden of the name of Smith Citue forward , and said it was all filse . But although he was a to * r . im ; in , truth ia
so poweifui that his owv . ntighboura \ urne » l upon him , aud told him ha was a dc-ctiver and a cheat , that he promised ihe Rspoal last year , if they would but piy a shilling en . cb .
