On WEDNESDAY the 2d of January, 1839, and every Wednes-
day, price Gd., stamped for circulation free of Postage,
THE SOCIAL GAZETTE; a Journal of PUBLIC
and DOMESTIC ECONOMY, and MUNICIPAL,
PAROCHIAL,andFAMILY NEWSPAPER.
The title of the SOCI A L GAZETTE may sufficiently indicate
the nature of its contents. It will be a journal of news,
politics, and literature, expressly devoted to the great and
sacred cause of Social Improvement on Christian Principles.
The conductors of the Social Gazelle are attached members of
the Church of England: but it is as little their wish, as it
can be their interest, to hide or disparage the efforts of other
bodies. Their object is rather to show to all what is done
by all; since no right estimate can ever be formed, and no
generous emulation can ever be excited, unless ali instru-
mentalities, and all their operations, are fairly taken into

account.
The SOCIAL GAZETTE Will be published every WEDNES-
DAY by JOHN W. PARKER, at 445, WEST STRAND, where
Communications for the Editor, post-paid, BOAS and Prints
for Review, and Advertisements are received. But Orders
for the GAZETTE. need not be sent direct to the Publisher, as
every Newsman in Town or Country will regularly sup-
ply it.

No. 22, SLATER-STREET, LIVERPOOL,
(private entrance first door up the passage ;)
No. 2, Bale-street, Lower Mosley-street, near to St. Peter's
Church, Manchester, and No. 4, Great Charles-street, Bir-
mingham; of wham may be had (gratis) with each hox of
pills their Treatise on Venereal Disease, Gonorrhoea, Gleets,
and Stricture, including Practical Observations on Seminal
Weakness, arising from early abuses, so tliat all persons can
obtain an immediate Cure, with ease, secrecy, and safety.
It is a melancholy fact, that thousands fall victims to the
Venereal Disease owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate
men, who, by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin
the constitution, and cause ulcerations, with blotches on the
head, face, and body, dimness in the sight, noise in the ears,
deafness, obstinate gleets, and nodes on the shin bones, till
at length a general debility and decay of the constitution
ensues, and a melancholy death puts a period to their dread-
ful sufferings.
PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS, price 2s.
9d. and lls. per box, a certain, safe, and the most speedy re-
medy ever discovered for the permanent and effectual cure of
venereal diseases, gonorrhoea, gleets, strictures, semina-
weakness, in the loins, affections of the kidneys, gravel, lum-
bago, local debility, irritation of the bladder or urethra, and
other diseases of the urinary passages, frequently performing
a perfect cure in the short space of three days, by one small
pill for a dose, with ease, secrecy, and safety. The certainty
with which they are continually administered can be attested
by many thousands. Tne Specific Pills root out every parti-
cle of insidious poison, purifying in their progress the whole
mass of fluids. They not only remove the disease, but reno-
vate by their action the different functions of the body, ex-
pelling the grosser humours. and in a manner so mild and
imperceptible as to convince the most sceptical of their asto-
nishing and unequalled powers. They neither contain mer-
cury nor any other mineral, and may be taken without the
slightest suspicion of discovery. They require no restraint of
diet, loss of time, or hindrance of business, but effect a cum
plete cure, without the least exposure to the patient. At any
period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will be well
to have recourse to the Specific Pills, for when taken before
the disease has made its appearance it acts as a certain pre-
ventative, by moving the complaint effectually and secretly.
Messrs. PERRY, Surgeons, continue to direct their stu-
dies to those dreadful debilities arising from the too free and
indiscriminate indulgence of the passions, which not only
occasion a numerous train of nervous affections, and entail
on its votaries all the enervating imbecilities of old age, but
weaken and destroy all the bodily senses, occasioning loss of
imagination, judgment, and memory, indifference and aver-
sion for all pleasures. In that distressing state of debility or
deficiency, whether the consequence of baneful habits, exces-
sive drinking, or any other cause, by which the powers of
the constitution become enfeebled, they offer a firm, safe, and
speedy restorati n to sound and vigorous health.
PERRY'S VEGETABLE PILLS are well known for
the certain and effectual remedy of secondary symptoms,
venereal eruptions, pains in the bones, ulcerated sore throat
diseased nose, chronic rheumatism, scrofula, scorbutic and
glandular affections, local and general debility, nocturne
pains in the head and limbs, depression of spirits, and at
'saws arising from an impure state of the blood.
