CAUTION.—The extraordinary demand for
PARR'S LIFE PILLS has induced several shopkeep-
ers, of mean and dishonest principles, to try to impose on the
incautious various counterfeits composed of the most per-
nicious ingredients, merely for the sake of reaping an extra
profit, totally regardless of the dreadful consequenees which
must ensue.

Observe, that each Box of the genuine medicine has pasted
round it the Government Stamp, in which is engraved these
words, PARR'S LIFE PILLS, in white letters on a red
ground. Nene other can be genuine.
In no instance has this invaluable medicine failed to effect a
perfect cure where due patience and perseverance has been ex-
ercised. Read the following
EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF CURE.—Testimonial
from AL John Jolliffe, Lancer Tavern, Old Haymarket, Liver-
pool : "To the Proprietor of Parr's Life Pills.
" Gentlemen—l beg to tender my warmest thanks for the
great benefit I have derived from your invaluable medicine. I
had for several years been labonring under severe attacks of
illness, from difficulty of breathing, accompanied with ex-
cruciating pains in the chest; and although I have been under
the care of several eminent medical men, I could obtain no re-
lief. Your celebrated Pills have completely restored me to
health ; and I beg you will make this acknowledgment public,
for the benefit of others similarly afflicted. I shall be happy
to answer inquiries, either made personally, or by letter (post
paid), addressed as above.-1 am, Gentlemen, yours respect-
fully, " JOHN JOLIFFE.

" the various forms of bodily and mental weakness, incapacity,
suffering, and disease, faithfully delineated in this cautiously written
and practical work, are almost unknown, generally misunderstood,
and treated upon principles correspondingly erroneous and super-
ficial, by the present race of medical practitioners. Hence the
necessity for the publication of a timely safeguard, a silent yet
friendly monitor, or where debility has made threatening inroads,
the nteans of escape and the certainty of restoration. The evils to
which this book adverts are extensive and identical in their secret
and hidden origin, and there are none to whom, as Parents, Guar-
dians, Heads of Families, and especially of Publ c Schools, is con-
fided the care of young people, who ought to remain for a moment
devoid of that information and those salutary cautions this work is
intended to convey Not only are the mast delicate forms of gene-
rative debility neglected by the family physician, but they require
for their safe management the exclusive study of a life entirely ab-
stracted from the routine of general practice, and (as in other de-
partments of the profession) attentively concentrated in the daily
and long-continued observation requisite for the Correct treatment
of sexual infirmities. _ - . _

" If we consider the topics touched upon, either in a moral or
social view, we find the interests and welfare of mankind seriously
Involved. The efitcts of licentious, indiscriminate, and secret in.
dulgence in certain practices, are described with an accuracy and
force which display at once profound reflection and extensive prac-
tical experience."—l'lanet.
" The best of all Friends is the Professional Friend; and in no
shape can be consulted with greater safety and sect esy than in
Lucas on Manly Vigour." The initiation into vicious indulgence
—its progress—its results in both sexes, are given with faithful, but
alas ! for human nature, with afflicting truth. However, the Authors
have not exposed the evil without affording a remedy. It shows
how " Manly Vigour" temporarily impaired, and mental and phy-
sical emasculation, produced by uncontrolled indulgence of the pas-
sions, can be restored ; how the sufferer, who has pined in anguish
from the consequences of early indiscretion—afraid almost to en-
counter his fellow man, can regain the vigour of health and moral
c wage. The work is written in a concise and perspicuous style,
displaying how often fond parents are deceived by the ou,twaid phy-
sicist appearance of their youthful offkpring ; how the attfenuation of
the frame, palpitation of the heart, derangement of the nervous
system, cough, indigestion, and a train of symptoms indicative of
consumption or general decay, are often ascribed to wrong causes,
and instead of being the natural results of congenital debility or
disease, are the consequences of an alluring and pernicious practice
alike destructive to the mind and body."—New Bell's Weekly Mes.

" Although a newspaper is net the ordinary channtl for the ex-
pression of opinion upon the merits of a medical work, this remark
is open to exceptio.i in any instance where the public, and not the
isolated and exclusive members of the profession are the parties ad-
dressed. Upon that which is directed to men indiscriminately,
the world will form its own opinion, ,nd will demand that medical
works forpublic study should be devoid of that mysterious techni-
cality in which the science of medicine has hitherto shrouded its
own ignorance. The work before us treats of subjects me believe ge-
nerally, yet very strangely, neglected by the medical attendant, and
requiring doubtlessly (as in operative midwifery and the surgery of the
eye) an entire devotedness to a deeply important branch of study.
lhe tone of this book is highly moral, and it abounds in well written,
harrowing, yet correct displays of the suffering-consequent upon un-
bridled sensualism. No human being can be the worse for its
perusal. To multitudes it must prove a warning beacon, a well-
told appeal to reason, a permanent blessing. It is written in a clear,
intelligent style; and is evidently the production of a mind long
and practically conversant with the diseases of the most delicate
division of the human organisation."—Magnet.
The security of happiness in the marriage state is the chief anxiety
of all ; but many dread entering upon the wedded union, through a
secret fear of unfitness for tne discharge of matrimonial obligations.
'l' his essay is most particularly addressed to all suffering under a de-
spondency of the character alluded to • and advice will be found
calculated to cheer the drooping heart, point the way to reno-
vated health.
