Sir,—I am happy to inform you, that I have experienced the greatest benefit from taking only two boxes of Dr. Locock's Pul- monic Wafers, which you were kind enough to recommend me. Previously to my taking them I could scarcely walk without the greatest difficulty of bieathing, and my cough would then in- crease to such a degree that I was nearly suffocated. I had not for many months slept for more than half an hour at a time but 1 am now able to sleep all night without coughing.

I .^SED many different medicines, and some of them do good for a '"tie time, but Dr. Locock's is the best of all—it cleats my voice stops the coughing instantly. I have never found anything Yet to compare to them. I I have been 33 years a Wesleyan Preacher, and all the Wes- ,EYAN Methodists in the Principality know me, (20 years of Which I have lived in Holyhead), and I am known personally to ALL the first men of that body, many of whom have admired the E EFFECTS of the wafers in clearing ihe voice, and stopping the t COugh-they never got such a medicine before. My wife ever ( Since Christmas, has been very well, after taking two boxes. I am a witness of their power to stop a frightful fit of coughing in s 8.n instant..

Their plans are now matured, and they are ready to execute orders to any extent, with the utmost promp- titude. y The extensive celebrity which their articles have acquired in a comparatively short period, is quite unparallelled in the annals of trade, and affords an unequivocal proof of their extraordinary excellence. Conee roasting, properly performed,involves chemical and scientific principles, and to an ignorance or neglect of these principles may be asciibed that deterioration of the beiry which gives rise to the co-nplaint so universally made.

The Cordial Balm of Zeylanica is an invaluable medicine to persons entering the matrimonial state, and who are labouring under mental or physical infirmities. Its properties being both balsamic and stimulating", it is peculiarly adapted-I. To remedy and remove physical defects. 2. To strengthen the system where there is aiony or dehllity. 3.

To tranquilise the imagination and mind. One of its primary objects is to relieve those persons, who, by an immoderate indulgence of the passions, have ruined their constitutions, and brought on a perfect tabos dorsalis, or, I in their way to the consummation of that deplorable malady, are affected with any of the previous symptoms that betray its approach, as the various affections of the nervous system, obstinate gleets, involuntary emissions, irregularities, weakness, total impotency, barrenness, &c. The risk of contracting infectious diseases may be entirely evaded by taking this celebrated medicine, which will purify and sweeten the blood, and act as a Safeguard and Preventative against contamination, by rendering the system impervious to the approach or danger of gonor- rhea, syphillis, &c.

It contains an elaborate and carefully-written account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Organs in iman which are diiectly and indirectly concerned in the function of generation, (illustrated by coloured engravings,) and the Causes and Con- sequences resulting from the baneful practice by which the Vigour and Manliness of Life are enervated and destroyed, even before nature has fully established the powers and stamina of the constitution. Local and General Debility, Nervous Irrita- bility and Excitement, Consumption, Indigestion of the most Fearful and Exhausting Kind, Intense Melancholy and Depres- sion of the Spirits, and Partial or Complete Extinction of the Reproductive Poweis.&c.. are thus produced. In the Silent Friend, the chapter devoted to the consideration o! these dread- ful complaints contains also an account of the Means by which they may be Prevented and Removed, so as to restore the suf- ferer to the full enjoyment of Health and the Functions oi Manhood. J I lie consequences resulting from, veneral. contamination are j next poiptd out, and the nature and character of Gonorrhoea^ | Gleet, Stricture, and Secondary Svmptoms of every kind are clearly explained, with directions for cure. Their dangerous effects on the human economy are sufficiently dilated on, and a Means is also indicated by which the Recurrence of these Diseases may in every instance be Completely Prevented. The work terminates with a chapter on the Obligations of Marriage, the physical impediments which tend to disqualify the candidate for that holy state, and the directions necessary for theirremoval. The work is illustrated by the detail of cases, and by twenty- j six coloured engravings on steel, thus rendering it what its name purporis it to be, the true but silent friend to all suffering from the consequences of early error and vice,-a work which may be consulted without exposure, and with every assurance of com- plete success and benefit.

Part the First Of this work is dedicated to the consideration of the Anatomy and Physiology of the generative functions. It embraces a succinct account of all the organs in man which are engaged in the important function of the reproduction of the species, and the mode in which self-abuse operates to the injury of the human frame, and the destruction of the special and vital powers. This is illustrated by six coloured engravings. Part the Second Treats of the infirmities and decay of the system produced by over indulgence of the passions. The existence of nervous and sexual debility and incapacity, with their accompanying train of symptoms and disorders, are treated by the chain of connecting results to this cause. This section is illustrated bv three coloured engravings, which fully display the effents of physical decav. Part the Thiid Contains an accurate description of the diseases caused by in- fection, and by the abuse of mercury primary and secondary symptions, erruptions of the skin, sore thioat, inflamation of the eyes, disease of the bones, gonorrhoea, gleet, stricture, &c., are shown to depend on this cause. Advice for the treatment of all these diseases and their consequences is tendered in this section, which, if duly followed up. cannot fail in efieciing a cure. The ] part is illustrated by seventeen coloured engravings. I'art the Fourth. t Treats of the Prevention of Diease by a simple application, 1 by which the danger of infection is obviated. Its action is simple but sure. It acts with the virus chemically, and destroys < its power on the system. This important part of the work < should be read by every young man entering into life. i Part the Fifth [ Ireats ol Marriage, its obligations and disqualiifcations. The t causes which lead to happiness in the maniage state are dwelt a upon, and those which are indicative of misery and domestic a inquietude. The nature, origin, and treatment of physical dis- t qualifications are also described, and remedies for this state form n an important consideration is this section of the work. The diffidence and distrust which are among the natural con- sequences of these affections, frequently prevents persons from applying for assistance until great, although not perhaps irre- mediable mischief has been inflicted on the constitution and powers of life. It is to be hoped that the perusal of this work l; will teach fuch persons the injurious consequences of delay, and lead them at once to seek that advice and counsel by which ti alone they could be saved from the horrors of an existence pro- tracted amidst long enduring wretchedness, both of mind and t, J THE CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM Is rxpresslv employed to renovate the "npa»ed powers of hfe, ■ when exhausted by the influence exerted by solitary indnlgence on the system.

A CERTAIN AND SPEEDY CURE FOR INFLUENZA, COUGHS, COLDS, ASTHMA, INCIPIENT CONSUMPTIONS, AND ALL DISORDERS OF THE CHEST & LUNGS. SPENCER'S PULMONIC ELIXIR, Carefully prepared from the recipe of the late C. Spencer, surgeon, &c., Salford, Manchester; deservedly celebrated as the most successful practitioner in all Pulmonary Affections. OF all complaints incident to the buman frame, those oi the lungs appear to be most peculiar to tbis climate, especially in damp, foggy weather, and during the winter months; whilst perscns of every age and station in life, are alike the subjects of attack. Spencer's Pulmonic Elixir is admirably adapted to pro- mote expectoration, ease the breathing, loosen the phlegm, abate fever, allay the tickling sensation which occasions the cough, without lightening the chest. The Pulmonic Elixir was originally prepared by the late Mr. Spencer, whose signal succes* in dispensing it can have the Teady testimony of thousands, who have experienced its efficacy. The receipt is now solely known to the present proprietors, who purchased it from the widow of the inventor. I he two great characteristics of the Elixir are. the allaying of all irritation in the delicate and susceptible coating 01 the thioat and chest; and the imparting of tone and vigour to the respiratory organs, whereby they are enabled to discharge their functions fieely, arId thus to overcome all difficulty of breathing arising from a cold, foggy, or impure atmospiiere, and to throw oft those insi. dious attacks which too often lay the groundwork of consump- tion. For all temporary and local afl'ections, as wheezing, irri- tation of the throat, huskiness of voice, and influenzi. the Pulmonic Elixir gives instant relief, while in more Chronic Disorders (as periodical coughs or inveterate asthma ) it is P, equally efficient, though of course lequiring a iittle more per- severance in the use of the medicine. Innumerable cases of well-attested cures have been received by the proprietors of Spencer's Pulmonic Elixir; the following is the most recen t.- Messrs. MOTTERSHEAD and Co, of Manchester, beg to hand the following testimonial, just received by them, ad- dressel to the Proprietors cf Spencer's Pulmonic Elixir :— Sirs.—I feel it a duty I owe to you and the public to acknow- edge the great benefit I have received by taking Spencer's Pulmonic Elixir; I have been troubled for the last three vesrs with a severe c ough, and a disease on my lungs. I have con- sulted some of the ablest medical men in Manchester and Not. tingham, but without receiving anything but a temporary relief- for a short time and always at a great expense. At the latter' end of 1844,1 had occasion to visit London before this time I never heard of your invaluable Elixir. A friend of mine re- commended me to try it As I found the London air made my cough much worse than it ever had been before, I did try it, and experienced great relief from the first dose I took I persevered and one small bottle of your Elixir, price Is. lid., did me more good than 1 have ever received for twenty times the amount, for which I feel very grateful. I remain, sir, yours thankfully, M. F. As this person does not wish the name to appear in print, any one doubting the authenticity of this, may apply to Messrs. Mottershead and Co., chemists, Manchester, who will vouch for its genuineness. CAUTION.

Nor are these the sole contents of the work the means of escape, as well as the nature of the danger, are pointed out in clear and intelligible language. It deservedly requires the clo-est attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preserva- ,ion of health, and the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed ? The diffiidence and distrust which are among the natural :onsequences of nervous debility, frequently prevent persons 'rom applying for assistance uutil great, although not peihaps rremediable mischief, has i>een inflicted on the constitution and jowers of life.

'he timid and diffident will here find hope and relief. To the ay and thoughtless, it will serve as a beacon, to warn them of he danger attendant upon the too rash indulgence of their pas- i ions wtJilst to some it may serve as a monitor in the hour of emptation, and to the afflicted as a sure guide to health.

There is no situation in life so full of embarrassment, as when re are obliged to reveal our moral indiscretions to others, and he timidity and anxiety which so frequently haunt the mmds of hose who are suffering from Nervous and Constitutional Debility, rising from early and iodiscrimintte excess, cannot be too arnestly deplored, for in these unhappy cases, where mehn- holy, distaste, and incapacity for all pleasures intense debitity, oth mental and phvsioal, and all the enervating imbecilities of Id age, are its general attendants, the utmoit endeavours should e resorted to on the part of the sufferer to overcome this bane- il destroyer, of his health and happiness, in order to avoid the lank despair and certain misery which invariably accompany lese dreadful debilities, when left to the powers of nature alone ) restore, and which frequently hurries its victim to the grave in ie very flower of youth.

THE RENEWAL OF THE LEASE OF THE DOWLAIS IRON WORKS. Highly important intelligence has been received from Merthyr, in respect of the renewal by the Marquess of Bute to Sir John Guest and Company of the lease of the Dowlais Irou Woiks, which are among the largest iron works, if not the largest, in the world. In consequence of the near termination of the lease, and the various negotiations which have been en- tered into for its tenewal having been fruitless, the most gloomy apprehensions prevailed throughout the neighbourhood as to the stoppage of the works. which could not but prove most ruinous to the entire neiphbourhood, as at least 30,000 persons are de- pendent upon them for support; which will be better understood when it is stated that the Dowlais works comprise 18 furnace?, each employing 400 men, or 7,200 in all, besides the fineries, puddling, and balling furnaces, forges, rolling milis, &.c., for making every description of iron, besides founderies and work- shops for making engines, fitting up machinery, &c., with collieries, iron mines, &c., giving employment directly and in- directly to this vast population. The lease was for 99 years, and was to expire in May, the dispute having arisen as to the amount of tke royalties to be paid for its renewal, the noble marquess contending that he was entitled to certain royalties, which he considered fair ones ftom the princely fortunes that hid been made at the works; Sir John Guest and Co. contending that the royalties claimed were too high, in conteqoenoe of the distance of the works from sea, and from the fact of the iron miae near the surfaee being used, and their thus having to go deeper in search of it. Each party being equally obstinate, and theset- t ement appearing hopeless, the work of destruction at the works was commenced. Six of the fuinaces were blown out, thus throwing out of work directly 2,400 men. Several of the pita with their engines were removed, miles of tram-plates were taken up and melted, the colhen and other workmen had notice, and nothing bat ruin stared them in the face; when, on Satur- day, a letter was received at the works from Sir John Quest's eephew, Mr. Hutchius, himself a partner, directing the mana- gers not to blow out any more furnaces, and immediately to sus- pend the work of raising and ren.oving the plant, &c. also to continue the works aa usual until the 1st of May, and stating, an we hear, that if the lease was not renewed by that period, agree- ments had been entered into for the allowance of a reasonable sum for the removal of all the fixtures and plant allowable to be removed by law and by the stipulations of the lease. These tidings spread universal joy throughout the neighbour- hood, fnd the general belief is that the question of the lease may be said to be virtually and satisfactorily settled, but that Sir J. Guest had hesitated to prematurely announce it, fearing the pro- bable consequences that might arise from the overjoyed work- people being driven into drunkennesss and other excesses. Many, indeed hundreds, of the workmen had built or purchased bouses for themselves in the neighbourhood, which, in addition to their being depiived of their work by the stoppage of these extensive irun works, would have been rendered completely valueless, so that the ruin and desolation which would have been spread around, would have been fearful.—Morning Chro- nicle.
