ESTABLISHMENT, NO. 146 COMMERCIAL-STREET, NElVPORT, MONMOUTHSHIRE. EDWARD EDWARDS MOST restpectfully informs the Gentry of Newport, its vicinity, and the adjoining counties, that, having lie come the sole Proprietor of the above Business recently carried on by himself and his father, he has effected such arrangements as are calculated to obtain and fix an increased degree of patronage and support. The experience of many years in business with his father, during which he has assiduously attended to the Cutting and Fitting Department, enables him confidently to promise satis- factory attention to all Orders for Garments, warranting his hope of succeeding inaccuracy and neatness of fit, whilst an in- timate knowledge of the leading Houses in the Cloth Market, and much practice in the seleotion of the best goods, embolden him to state that a superior article will be furnished in all Clothes ordered at his House. E. EDWARDS is fully and deeply impressed with the truth of the maxim that integrity in dealing, moderation in charges, and punctuality, are the best promoters of a healthy trade he, therefore, begs to assure those gentlemen and friends who may honour him with their confidence as a Tailor and Draper, that he will uniformly meet them on the principles of fair dealing, economy, and rigid observance of his promise, never losing sight of that scrupulous attention to the quality of material and beauty of fabric which ever has and ever shall characterise the Establishment of which he is now principal, and which has stood so high in public estimation for upwards of Thirty Years. N.B. The friends of E. EDWARDS will OBSERVE that he has REMOVED from 172 to the commodious Premises 146, Commercial-street, near the Parrot Hotel. THE LONDON GENUINE TEA COMPANY, (Established Nov. 5., 1818, at 23, Ludgate Hill,) FOR THE SALE OF PURE AND UNADULTERATED TEAS, ORIGINATED in the public spirit of Gentlemen of the city of London, who, in consequence of the disgraceful transactions in the Tea Trade, opened Warehouses for the Sale of GENUINE TEAS, pledging themselves to purchase those only of the very best quality and, to prevent the possibility of their Teas being lowered by a mixture with an infellor article, the Company engage not to buy nor sell Bohea Tea, nor any of that large proportion of inferior Teas which are so commonly used to adulterate the better sorts. The peace recently concluded with the Chinese, has enabled the Company to increase, to a very large extent, their already immense Stock, and to select parcels of the finestsorts, at prices suitable to all customers, and better at those piices than any other house ia England. The Teat of the Company, the sterling quality of which has recommended them for 25 years, may be obtained of their Agents, in packages of from one ounce to one pound. It is needless to point out the advantages to be derived to the consumer of tltes. Teas, as it must be obvious to the commonest observer, that, in buying of the Agents of this Company, the Public are as well served as if they purchased from the Com- pany s Warehouse in London.

CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUfVS Is a gentle stimulant and renovator of the impaired functions of lite, and is exclusively directed to the cure of such com- plaints as arise from a disorganization of the Generative Sys- tem, whether constitutional or acquired, loss of sexual power and debility arising from syphilis; and is calculated to afford decided relief to those who by early indulgence in solitary habits have weakened the powers of their system, and fallen into a state ot chronic debility, by which the constitution is left in a deplorable state, and that nervous mentality kept up which places the individual in a slate of anxiety for the re- mainder of life. The consequences arising from this dangerous practice are not confined to its pure physical result, but branch to moral ones leading the excited, deviating mind into a fertile field of seductive error, into a gradual and total degradation of manhood, into a pernicious application of those inherent rights which nature wisely instituted for the preservation of her species; bringing on premature decrepitude, and all the habitudes of old age. Constitutional weakness, sexual debility, obstinate gleets, excesses irregularity, obstructions of certain evacuations, total impotency and barrenness are effiectually removed by this in- valuable medicine.

AT present the popular opinion is, that the natural duration of life is 70 years, but this is contrary to both sacred and profane history. This opinion is. no doubt, founded on a mis- understanding of the passage of the 90th Psalm, where it is indeed stated, that the days of our years are threescore years and ten, and if, by reason of strength, they be fourscore years, jet is their strength labour and sorrow." Now, it must be re- membered, that this Psalm is ascribed to Moses, and that he is not speaking of the lives of men in general, but of what was occurring among the Israelites in the wilderness. They died not a natural death, but were cut off for their sin and unbelief by judicial dispensations. The clever Dr. Farre maintains that 120 is the last grant of God to man, and quotes the sixth chapter of Genesis, and the third verse, where it is written, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that be also is flesh yet his days shall be an bandred and twenty yeats." Now, we find this expressed intention on the part of God gradually carried into effect—the principal of vitality appearing to become weaker until the close of the era in which the postdiluvian patriarchs flourished when although several centuries had elapsed since the deluge, we find the 120 years were about the average of human existence. Supposing then, that the theory of long life is well sustained, the question naturnlly is suggested, bow are we to attain what is so desirable A wise general on the eve of battle makes a proper disposition of his forces beforehand, and does not wait till the enemy has made an attack, and thus, by forethought and due preparation, reasonably expects a victory:—thus, he who has a desire to attain a healthy, and consequently, happy old age. does not indolently wait for the attack ot the enemy, which 1 is sickness, but is constantly on bis guard against his insidious approaches, by paying proper attention to the state of his health. Many would fain occasionally use medicine to asssist natnre in her operations but, like a mrriner at sea without his compass, knowing not tvhere to steer, they first try this. and then that, and meet with nothing but disappointment; to 'pe how welcome must be the important fact, that PARR S ME- DICINE is all that is required, the fine tonic properties it con- tains invariably restores the stomach to a healthy longing for food or, in other words, it produces a good appetite, so much envied, but so seldom enjoyed by the invalid; the gentle stimu- lating powers it possesses assist the stomach to properly digest the food it receives the balsamic powers it bestows on the system produces that delightful feeling of good spirits so very desirable, and disposes both mind and body to healthy exercise everything under its influence soon wears a joyous aspect, and j^i-V-,r'e ^u'i_es of life are performed with pleasure. It, in a ilmn, contains a fine sedative quality, and, instead of long a" weary nights, gives sound and refreshing sleep. If the s mac and bowels require it, it acts as the mildest and most r.o*eea e Pur £ ative, and by its cleansing powers totally eradi- .• es Vf. un.dancy of bile, and completely removes all obstruc- ln,tfsti1al canal. To have produced a medicine so in conroi," ra,'d in its operation and effects, and yet so effectual enhihits tK* 3 curing disease of however long standing, tnnsvlert'n-o nf 1 ^art P. Rarr, deep research and a thorough f Vs object. Those who bavo been the instru- JtL th0r,Dff fh,s 'onK l°st secret to the world feel confi- dent when they make the assertion, that none need despair, that if only a fair trial be given, the result will be a restoration to health and happiness. AH^AL1 ueir h?m!e ,abours merit praise, And future Parrs be blessed with honour'd days." The following letter received by one of the proprietor from the Rev. D.

The following letter will be read with interest, as it contains a statement of another recent cure of Chronic Ilheumatjsm, solely from the use of the popular medicine, PARR'S LIFE PILLS. It will be seen that Mr. Hugh Lewis, of Morpoeth Towyn, Merionethshire, North Wales, has to enrol his name among the list of testimonials of cures by Parr's Life Pills. The letter re- lating the case is from his brother Mr. Lewis Lewis, of the same place. Morpoeth Towyn, NorthWales, Merionethshire, July 4,1843 Gentlemen-I have much pleasure in stating to you the wonderful cure of my brother, by your efficacious medicine, as it must be nearly as gratifying to yourselves to hear of the im- mense good Parr's Life Pills are doing in Wales. My brother had been many years afflicted with rheumatism, which frequently confined him to his bed, and the last attack was severe he could not move in bed. and the pain was most excruciating and, although he had been under the care of one of the best medical gentlemen in the county, and had administered to him various applications, both external and internal, without afford- ing him any benefit; as a last resource he was induced to try the effect of Parr's famous remedy, and now though he has only consumed one balf of a Ils. packet, he is perfectly cured —I am, gentlemen, yours gratefully, LEWIS LEWIS. 53- This famous remedy has been established by undoubted proof, of its efficacy, and by a mass of evidence and testimonials from respectable persons, which no other medicine ever yet called forth. Hence a host of spurious imitators, who reckless of character or consequences, seek to injure its fair fame by vending DANGEitOUs SUBSTITUTES for the genuine medicine. To prevent a continuance of this injury to public health, the pro- prietors spare neither means nor exertion in exposing the base conduct of such parties but some of these reckless specnlatois still continue their injurious trautc; and by so doing, destroy the remedial character of the genuine medicine. To prevent such serious wrong being continued, the proprietors of PAKR'S LIFE PILLS therefore urge upon all purchasers of this singularly edicacious medicine, the necessity of strict attention being given to the following CAUTION. The words "PARRS LlfcE PILLS are engraved in the Government Stamp, in while letters on a red ground and at. tached to every box ot the Genuine Medicine. The signature of the Proprietors, 1. ROBERTS and CO. is also printed on the direction wrapped round each box. Without this mark of authenticity they are spurious and au imposition. Full directions are given with each box.

D. earnestly invites inspection) it should be understood that they are of both kinds, either l'lain or Enamelled, bought of the Manufacturers at fiom 25 to 50 per cent below the charge for first qualities and that as used in the Commercial Articles of invoice aiid Acourit Heads, Circular Adviee Letters, Bills of Enchange and Lading, Medical Labels, &Jc., WRITING PAPERS, in the scale of quality, vary to this full extent; whilst the labour of Journeymen Engravers and Printers, according to their ability, is paid for as it merits, at even far wider rates of wages. So variously may the public ever be charged ;and R. DRAKE flatters himself that his scale of Prices will thus be found quite as low as those of any of his neighbours, or of the London aud Birmingham travelling firms. To facilitate Orders by Post-a Pattern Tablet containing Ten Specimens of names, in various characters, Engraved and Printed on one large Card, enamelled and handsomely em- bossed, is now published, which may be obtained of the Adver- tiser, prepaid, by return of post, upon remittance of three Stamps for the Specimens and Postage. ■ frn .in, JOHNS & CO S PATENT STUCCO PAINT, AND PATENT STUCCO PAINT CEMENT. THESE most important and valuable preparations, the re- -t- sult of a long series of experiments, after having been subjected to the m 'st rigid tests for the last four years, are of- fered with confidence to the public, as possessing the following extraordinary qualities, all of which have been fully verified by testimonials from men high in scientific and professional at- tainments- The paint combines strength with economy. 1t is sent out in casks, ground with driers ready for im, (by the addition of about two gallons ot oil to the cwt.) at 28s. It therefore requires no subsecuent preparation, which adds so much to the expense of the paints generally used. It may be calculated that one third will be saved by the use of this paint as compared with white lead. The Patent Stucco Paint Cement, for covering Walls of Houses, &c.. is sent out in casks at 14s. 6d per cwt. with par- ticular directions for its use. The fluid Cement is mixed with II about three times its measure of sand, reducing the price to little more than 3s. 6d. per cwt One coat of this Cement will cover a brick wall without any other preparatory coat, taking Tibs of the fluid to each square ya,d. On Lime Plaster, or other Cements, about 4lbs. of fluid will be found sufficient for a square yard. It is recommended for its strong adhesive qualities, fixing most tenaciously to the smoothest surfaces, even to glass. Being highly repellant of water, and thoroughly impervious to wet or damp. The chemical peculiarity of its composition does not aamit of its vegetating, and thereby becoming discoloured. The safe and progressive rapidity with which it dries, bar. dening the more by its great exposure to the atmosphere. Its perfect freedom from any of the caustic qualities of Lime Stuccoes, and consequently may be painted upon or papered immediately, a property possessed by no other cement what. ever at the same time it di es uot tequire paint, on the con- trary it hardens more without it. It is not in the slightest degree affected by frost. It is most effectual for laying roofs, rendering them immova- ble, even in the most exposed situations- It may be kept in casks, as delivered from the Manufactory, for any length of time, without deterioration. To Merchants therefore, and Exporters, this will be found an important arti- cle of commerce. P. BUTLER, Jamaica-street, Bristol, sole agent for this part of the country. IMPORTANT TO FARMERS & GRAZIERS. GROWTH OF WOOL. THOMAS BIGG, Chemist, &c., No. 15, Craw- ford-street, Portman-square, London, begs to call the attention of Farmers and Graziers to his valuable SHEEP-DIPPING COMPOSITION, for effectually destroying the tick, lice, and all other insects injurious to the flock, preventing the alarming attacks of fly and shab, and cleansing and purifying the skin, thereby greatly improving the wool botu in quantity and quality and highly contributing to the general health of the animal. He trusts. from the established leputation of his composition, which has now stood the test of several seasons, and has been universally approved, that he may confidently rely on its continued use I from year to year, by those friends and patrons who support he is ambitious to maintain and whose orders shall at all times have his best attention. Whilst it can not be denied that the dipping of store sheep and lambs is very imoortant, a little attention will show that even those ta be fatted will derive benefit, inasmuch as. by destroy- ing the tick, &c. (which are known to harass and irritate the animal), they are more likely to go on well. They may be dipped throughout the year during mild weather; but, for economy's sake, and particularly to guard against the fly, the whole flock (no kind of sheep whatever on the farm excepted) should be submitted to the operation during the month of July, or within a. month after shearing time. In consequence of the serious losses some have sustained from the use of other preparations of a dangerous nature in dressing their sheep, the proprietor of the above composition begs to as- sure all flock masters and breeders of sheep that no injury can resuit from the Use of his preparation, if performed according to the printed directions in proof ot which he begs to observe that Mr. John Matson, au extensive breeder in the Isle of Sheppy, publicly stated, at the Snmhfield Club Show of 1839, that during the last three or four years, he had dipped about 10,000 sheep with this composition, and had not lost one Sold at 8d. per lb. or in quantities of I001bs.,cask included being amply sufficient to dress 500 sheep, X3. 3s. Directions for use accompany each packet. Prospectuses, containing a list of distinguished patrons,may be had either from the proprietor direct, or from the following agents: and may also be seen appended to the advertisement regularly inserted in the Mark Lane Express and the Farmers' Magazine. CAUTION.—xn consequence of the unprincipled attempts at imitation of certain parties known to the proprietor, and in order to obtain the above composition genuine, all flock masters and breeders of sheep are earnestly requested to see that the Proprietor's Signature (Thomas Bigg) appears on a lable, which will in future be affixed to each package, to imitate which is felony. Any authentic information of persons so transgressing, will be handsomely rewarded. AGENTS. NEWPORT.Mr. E. V.

This work, a TENTH edition of which is now presented to the public-ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance-has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general princi- ples, as also by the insertion of several vew and highly interest- ing cases. The numberless instances daily occurring, wherein affections of the lungs, putting on all the outward appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful habits. fully prove that the principle of the division of labour is nowhere more applica- ble than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying, that there is no member of society by wbom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a parent, a preceptor, or a elergyman." -Sun. "Messrs. Curtis's work. called MANHOOD, is one of the few books now coming before the pnblic on such a subject, which can lay claim to the character of being strictly profes sional, at the same time tbat it is fully intelligible to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invaluable."—Magnet. The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book, entitled MANHOOD, has really astonished us by developing a series of maladies, the ocver-lailing consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats. The cle;e. connexion pointed out between tbe assigned cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity." -AKe. This is a work that wo fear there exists too much need for, to cause us to hesitate to recommend it for general perusal Every branch of those frightful maladies, whether the result of immoral habits or secret vices, is here succinctly Heated, and. divested of all medical technicality, plain and easy directions are given for the best mode to be pursued in all cases, however complicated or apparently hopeless. To the married, as wel! as the unmarried, this little work alike affords consolation and cure in peculiar cases, and we are doing service to society in recommending it to general notice. l,'ssex and Herts Mercury The scientific views taken by the authors, of the source and origin of many of the most distressing effects of certain j depraved habits, fully establish their ciaim to the character of ;\perienced surgeons; and the result of our careful perusal of the work has been to impress us with a thorongh confidence in the talent and skiil of the authors, and to satisfy us that those intrns'ed with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for famishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.Old England.
