" Manhood.' A Medical Work.—To the gay and thought less we
trust this little work will serve as a beacon to warn them of the
danger attendant upon the too rash indulgence of their passions,
whilst to some it may serve as a monitor hi the hour of tempta-
tion, and to the afflicted as a sure guide to health."—Chronicle.
" ' Manhood.' By J. L. Curtis.—Their long experience and re-
putation in the treatment of these painful diseases is the patient's
guarantee, and well deserves for the work its immense cirulation."
—Era.

Curtis on Manhood' should be in the hands of youth and old
age. It is a medical publication, ably written, and developes the
treatment of a class of painfhl maladies which has too long been
the prey of the illiterate and the designing."— United Service
Gazette.

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 careful investigation of its real cause, has been
set down to the scorn of consumption, will, en perusing this work,
be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young per-
sons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary con-
sumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has
been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth
much more frequently than it is at all suspected.

[ADvitaTiscstErrr.]—John Kaye, Esq., of Dalton-
hall, near Huddersfield, does not rest the claim as to the
efficacy of the celebrated Kaye's Worsdell's Pills upon
mere theory, or speculative opinion, but upon facts sub.
stantiated by hundreds and thousands. There is scarcely
a town, village, or hamlet throughout the kingdom, in
which this medicine is not well known. Wives and
mothers, husbands and children, are constantly sending
in grateful testimonies, and declaring that no medicine
ever wrought such astonishing cures, or was so invalu-
able to a family, as this. The following is a specimen.
—Sir,—l have found th© Vegetable Restorative Pills
a most valuable family medicine. Some time ago my
daughter was very much afflicted, and appeared to be
gradually sinking. Wo tried medical aid in vain. I
then resorted to your Pills, and to the astonishment of
all who knew her, a complete cure was effected. Being
myself, greatly afflicted, having spent five or six pounds
on medical aid in vain, I also commenced taking your
Pills, and I began to mend rapidly; and I can truly say

my duty in former times, as well as in now coming
forward to offer to represent you.—(Dear.) if
ever there was a time or a period in the history of this
country when a Member of Parliament should go inde-
pendently within the walls of the House of Commons,
this is that time or that period. I shall go there, if lam
elected, with no strong party feeling, but with an ardent
desire to acquit myself independently. I have been asked
if I will support her Majesty's present Government. My
answer is, that I will not promise to support or oppose
the men, but I will support or oppose their measures
according to their value in my estimation. I have no
personal ambition to attain in going to Parliament, and I
have no personal objection to the men who hold the reins
of government, and as long as they conduct their affairs
constitutionally they shall have my support. I know no
men whom 'could wish to replace them. They do not
form so strong a Government as I should wish, but as I
have no wish to supplant them by a Tory Government,
I would say, let us have a strong Government; let us
have a strong Whig Government, if you like; nay, if the
voice of the people wills it, let us have a stron,g Radical
Government; but above all things I say, let the Govern-

ment be strong, and let the country, know what their
- -

measures are, and have an opportunity of pronouncing
its verdict upon them. But I say that I have no objec-
tion to her Majesty's present advisers, and their mea-
sures shall have my careful consideration. Thus far as
to the conduct which Isbell pursue, if I have the honour
of again representing Yorkshire. And now, thon, as to
that principle of conducting our foreign trade which is
more especially called free trade. I could—if I thought
it right to detain you—l could ask some gentlemen
whom I see around and before me, if they thoroughly
understand, and, it they do, if they will attempt to ex-
plain, what they mean by a thorough free trade.—(" Tell
us what you mean.") I will tell you what I mean; and
I will tell my friend below, whose ,face I know, but
whose name I forget, that he may put any question to
me that he pleases. I am not come here to skulk.—
(Cheers.) If I do not like his proposition I 'will tell
him so plainly, and he may make what he' likes of my
answers. Now if Jou mean by the term free trade, ,the
taking off the duties on all the articles of general
consumption to such an extent as will enable the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer of the -day to pay the' debts of'
the country, and to pay the interest on the funded debt,
then I will go with the Chancellor of the Exchequer as
far as he likes to go in that direction; for -I
can see no
reason why any man living can object to any duties
being extinguished if there be enough to provide for the
wants of the exchequer without them. But I know
Leeds
men perfectly well. I know that if they are Yorkshire.. men they are perfectly honest ; and I won't insult you,Yorkshiremen, by supposing for an instant that
you wish
to
get all the duties off, and leave the public creditor to
take his chance.—(No, no, and hear.) I know that I
am addressing men who have y
in the funds, or
money in savings' banks; and you know as welt as I
do—if you sweep off all the duties now payablo on arti-
cles brought from abroad—where you will be at the
end of the year, when, instead of receiving your divi-
dends as usual, the Chancellor of the Exchequer will
be constrained to say—" Gentlemen, I am insolvent,
and I cannot pay you." I believe there are men who,
though they dare not avow it, are anxious that free
trade may be applied to all those branches with which
they have no connexion in the State, and who would
be glad to see all the parties connected with them left
in the lurch. I have lived long enough to find out that;
and, therefore,; I will only be a free-trader so far as free
trade can• bo carried out with due regard to the claims

of the public creditor. I will take m 3 stand upon ACC,
if you send me to represent you;..
andl know that when
the day of revolution comes, it come it may, you will
say, " This' man has bean an hone,t trustee." With
regard to my opinions on this point, I know it was said
in 1847 (when they say I ran away from a contest), that
although the: corn-laws were abolished, I would be ready
to revive them if I could. But so far was that from the
truth, that I said on the hustings at Wakefield, at that
same election, that he must be a madman who would re-
vive them if he could. It was carried by a large majo-
rity of the House of Commons, assuitod to by Cue House
of Lords, and sanctioned by ber Majesty, and I am not
the man, iu 1848, to try to revive those enactments. I
