• To THOMAS TAYLOR, Esq..
Sir. - . No. 9, New Brldge-street; Lundon.
CONSIDER it but an act of justice: clue to the
I merits of your LEAK E's PATENT PILLS, .to com-
municate to you the following Cure which'has recently been
pertOttned by them :--An Acquaintance of tube, • by the
breaking out of an old Venereal Complaint (attended by a
complication of disord-rs arising therefrom), was reduced al-
most to a skeleton; and although he had the 'best medical
advice which could be obtained, and tried a variety of Patent
Medicines, nothing could be procured which seemed to suit-
his case, or to do hint any service : he remained in a must re-
duced and pitiable situation fur two years, unable to follow
his Profession, and 'scarcely able to walk or even to stand on
his legs ; in tact no one who knew him ever supposed it pos-
sible for hint to recover, He was advised at last to try your
Leake's Pills—he did so, adhering strictly to the Clirraions
given with them. He had nut taken more than two bokes be-
tore he found an alteration for the, ttetter: this encouraged.
him to proceed, and.by takipg a few boxes more he found.
his appetite and- strength gradually return, and is now as
healtl* and stout as any man I knbw.- You are welcome,
Sir. to refer any person to me Icir a confirmation of the above
account if it should be doubted. -

1 am, Sir, your obedient humble servant,

•-• • • 'FIE Inventor of this Medteme, formerly a Stu-
dent in Physic, at Glasgow, is induced to offer to the
Public an efficacious Reirledy for the above-- as well as for
many Diseases (teemed• incurable. It has been extensively
used in Ireland for several Years, and its salutary Effects are
produced in a safe and easy matinee, with very little sensible
,
operatfciti.
mixing with the and I uices, it applies
itself to the seat of the Disorder,; which it will remove by
slow degrees front its alterative and healing qualities. In,
Consumptions it will generally succeed in the two first
stages, ana often even in the last. In -the Scrophulai or
Evil., if used early, the Cure will•be speedy, and the ul-
cerated will heal ;- and it has been known to rescue
the Patient even after mortal sYmptoins had appeared. But
PersanS, alflided with Gout, Itheumatisms, Cancers, and-
with Bilious and Nervous Diseases, would do well to peruse
The Philosophy of Physic," written by the Inventor (to
be had at Symonits's, Paternoster.tovv, or of the Venders of
this Medicine), 'ill which its extraordinary Efficacy will be
sliewit 11.1 'vomit's instances. This-Powder does not contain
• any I ndgredient unfriendly to the human Constitotio.n ;. and,
instead_ of weakening, its tendency is to invigorate, and to
irnproVe th.: general health. It occasions. no danger teoin
Cold, and requiri-s neither •Continement nor Change of Diet.

MHE CORDI,A.L. -BALM of GILEAD is. pecu-
liarly adapted to weak Fe:nitle Constitutions, as well
as to phlegmatic habits in general ; itacts- powerfully as
nervine, tint only to the weak stomach, bat to the whole
nervous system ; corre;..ts t vitiated appetite and digestion in
the first passages; and assists wonderfully. in recovering the
tone of thc.urinary and genital organs : hence its efficacy in
the most obstinate seminal complaints in men, and cones.
pointing weaknesses in women.'

The name of this Medicine conveys an idea of its virtues:
.It is requisite that it be soft, yieldng, and adhesive ; also,
that it stay have a ready disp,sition to motion ; tbr, as Dr.
Mutherb justly observes, " Medicines of this kind cannot
be conveyed to the part required but by the coininon road of
circulation ; therefore they shou!d be adinioistered in such a
form as they inay.rtiost readily he. conveyed into the circula.
atig.bt t4i• fur auiut: tivae, be
fore the efteets can ha perceived." _

From the foreeeing observations, the propriety of a liquid
• form for the administration of such remedies, in preference
• in any other, is obvious t and this Cordial Balm of Gilead
(which is Perfectly-elegant in resped to smell, taste, and ap-
. pearaece) will he found to possess all the genuine qualities
of analeptic, for, -be Sides the nutritious quality of a restora-
tive, it has a fragrant, subtle, oleous principle, which imme-
diately attela the nerves and gives a kind of friendly motion
to the finias,'-yiklding plenty ofanimal heat, the true source
of firmness and vigour. .
T
he train of inelaocholy disorderswhich afflid the human
, .
'frame, under the denOinination of Nervous Diseases, are the
principal sources of human misery in the privation of health.
These disorders proceed 'from such an infinite variety and
complication of causes, `as to render it impossible, if even, it
were necessary, to trace them to their true source. The et.
feds, however, are but too well known; and too severely telt
amongst too great a portion of mankind; and to these elPets
it may, without exaggeration, be asserted, that any IteMedy
more superior or celebrated for efficacy than Dr. Solomon's
Cordial Balm -of Gilead never ha's been discoVered. Numerous
' cases have from tune to tirnebeen published in every News.
paper in tile Kingdom,. for the encouragement of the afflicted
to use and persevere in a Medicine which so eminently affOrds
a complete cure in all casts of debility.
An opinion prevails that nervous disease; are at present
rrforeconimon in Europe, than at any -former period, and is
chiefly attributed to excess of indulgencies practised in these
times of refinement and luxury. It is certainly true, that the
farther we depart from simplicity and temperance in diet,
and the more we sacrifice . wholesome exercises to the in-
adiiity attending domestic amusements, the greater will be
the influence of every physical error in diminishing the
vigour of the,constitution. Diseases of the nerves are inci-
dent to both sexes, with only this difference, that, in the
female, from the natural delicacy of Cpnstitution and the
softer manner of life, they are in general most frequent arid
violent. Weakness of the nervous systermis often, alas !
too often, 'occasioned by irregularities in one sex, and sensual
excesses in, the other, which the Cordial Balm of Gilead is
the most effedual remedy to rerhove. ,
It is ;-rtorious that various disorders of. the human frame
I are. brought on by dissipation•in youth, -and the gross.viola-
tion of those rules Which prudence dictates for the proservas •
lion Of health, and lifying a foundation for a long and happy

health areal() sooner lost than painful experience-teaches the
inestimable value of ir, and the unhappy patient looks

covery ! —The utility, therefe-re, of this Medicine, is too ob-

IMP EACHMENTWITNESSES' IND CMNITy
The Ord& of the Day having been read for the at-
tendance of the Judges (who were all present), to
give their anVvers to the three questions referred to
them, the first and second of which went to inquire
whether, according to law, a witness ct,lnid demur to
answer a question, the answer -to which might ren-
der him liable to an aaion for debt, or to it suit for
the recovery of the profits of public money ? and the.
third, to ascertain whether a witness who, on making
fulfand.fair disclosure, was to be excused from cer-
tain debts, could nOt be legally 'objected to, on the
ground of his being interested ?
Lord Chief Justice MANSFIELD delivered the opi-
nion of the Judges,. which, with respe& to the first
two questions, would,,, he said, .he' feared leave their
Lordships in nearly the same stale of doubt in which
they were before, although his Learned Brethren and
himself had devoted as -intieh attention to their con-
sideration as the time allotted, for the purpose would
allow. The Judges were, however, upon those two
questions, which they considered to be resolved into
One, divided in opinion. Those who were of opinion
that a witness in such a case could not demur, might
be prepared to give a decisive answer to that effed,
but with respe& to those who were of a contrary
opinion, that opinion was qualified by a great -num-
ber of exceptions, which it was not their province to
descant upon under the general terms of the questions,
and which, indeed, it would, be scarcely poSsible for
them, under a general question, to give a decided
opinion upon. With respe& to the third question,
they were,unanimously of opinion, that a witness. in
the situation described, could not be repelled on the
ground of being interested, as whatever was offered,
on condition of his making a full and fair disclosure,
could legally make no difference with respe& to his
evidence,' lie being bound by his 'oath, by hiw, mo-
raliv, and honour, to declare the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing bat the truth.

J

Lord -A UC LA ND expressed his disappointment
at the opinion he had just heard from the Judges,
which be had expe&ed would have been decisive one
way or the other. In order, however, to obtain :an
might perhaps be all that wouict be
necessary, with, reference to the 131„11, be begged.
leave to propose another question, Whether, accord-
ing to law, any Officer, or Agent employed under
any Officer, entrusted with the application of public
money,, could demur to answer to any question re-
lative to the matter in issue, the answer to which
niight render him liable to any suit respeding the
application of such money This question, how-
ever, he was very willing to withdraw, if any other
Noble Letrd suggested a better mode of attaining the
same objet.

It being suggested by the Clerk that the answers
of the Judges .should be delivered in -writing,
.they
f were accordingly delivered. The answer to the third
question was similar to that given by Lord Mans;
field. The answer to the other two questions stated,
they were so general in their nature that the Judges
. could not give a satisfadory answer. • ,
Lord ELDON . said, it would be in the recollec-
tion of their Lordships that he had expressed his
I. doubts whether they would derive much information
from the opinion of the Judges upon such questions.
The great difficulty with respect to framing more
specific questions was, that they could not do so
without going into the -merits of the ease to come.
• bet-ore them by impeachment, and upon which they
I ought to preserve their minds clear from all previous
opinion npon the subject until they came before
them regularly in evidence.
Lord HOLLAND protested against the opinion
given by the Judges upon the first two questions, as
one which, in, its tendency, was unconstitutional,
He' did not conceive that it rested with the Learned
Judges to say, that a question referred to them was
too general to allow them to give a satisfattory
an-
swer--they were, on the contrary, to give a specific
answer when their Lordships-required, respeding any
general or abstrad 'point of law, the informatioa
contained in which the House might afterwards ap-
' ply. according to the lex et consuetudo Parliamenti.
But that that House, in order to obtain a specific
answer on a paint oflaw, must put an individual case
instead of a general questiOn; Was a pra&ice which"
he conceived to be wholly unsandioned by the usage.
of Parliament, and which was opposite to the prin.,
ciples of the Constitution, inasmuch as if such a prac-
tice, was to prevail the House would be referring'ques-
tions to the Judges, the answer to which would involve
• whatottaht to betheir Lordships' proceedings upon an 7,
'specific paint before them. This he must decisively
protest against, and it was in this point of view that'
he felt himself under the necessity of objeding•to Ole
question proposed by the,Noble'Lord (Auckland),
although, it it was prgssed, he would not oppose it,
but he objected to itoon the ground of its being too
pecifie. He coticeivel that the House had a right
to an. answer from the Learned Judges upon any, ab-
strad point of law, respeding which they required'
information, and that such answer should be in the
affirmative or negative.. He could not help remark-
ing, that in this case the opinion delivered,. viva voce,
by the Learned Chief Justice, -and that delivered in -
writing at the table, were at -variance. From the -
'former it was clearly to
.be inferred that the Learned'
Judges di tred io opinion respediug. the answer to
be given, whilst tile paper delivered iii at.the tahip
was the answer of all the Judges, and stated thlit
wh:ch 'he could not admit, and which ha was
