For THE ENTERTAINMENT
Of the CURIOUS.
MR. KINNERSLEY proposes (the
weather being suitable) to exhibit his course
ofELECTRICAL EXPERIMENTS
again, at the College, on Monday and Tuesday
next week; and the fame on the following Wed•
nefday and Friday; to begin at fix o'clock in the
evening. In this course, confiding of only two
lectures, above forty curious and interesting, expe
riments will be exhibited, tending to lhew the na
ture and properties of lightning, and, which is of
the greater importance, how to avoid the danger
of it; —how to secure houses, Ships, &c. from re
ceiving any damage by lightning.
The following particulars will, it is presumed, be
thought no inconsiderable part of this Electrical
Entertainment, viz. Flaihes of real lightning visible
under water. Iron heated red hot, and even melt
ed by lightning, whilst under, and in contact with,
common cold water. Experiments on that wonder
fol electric stone, from the East-Indies, called the
Tourmalin, which will become elearifed by being
dipt in boiling water ; one fide ele&rifed positively,
the other negatively. A curious representation of
the astonishing ele&ric Eel, lately seen in this city;
on touching of which, while in the water, an elec
tric fnock may be as sensibly felt as from a live one.
A representation of part of the starry heavens, ex
hibiting a variety of beautiful ele&ric Stars.
As the knowledge of Nature tends to enlarge the
human mind, and give us more noble and exalted
ideas of the Author of Nature, and, if well pur
sued, seldom fails producing Something uftful to
man ; it is hoped that an Entertainment of such a
tendency, will meet with suitable encouragement.
Thofc Gentlemen and Ladies who purpose to attend
these Lectures are requeued to be furnished with
tickets, that no money may be taken at the door.
Tickets may be had at the bar of the London Cof
fee-Houfe, and at Mr. Kinnerfley's house near the
College, at Half a Dollar for each Lefture.
Electrical Experiments cannot be well exhibited
in damp or wet weather; therefore if either of the
evenings above appointed Should not prove dry
enough, the exhibition must be defered till some
dry evening after. The firft Lecture of the course
to be on Monday or Wednesday evening; second
LeCture on Tuesday or Friday evening.
N. B. Next April Mr. KlNnersly experts to
have roam in his house to accommodate two or three
more young Boarders for the College.
SPECIFIC DROP S,
For Restoring Health to Mankind.
THESE valuable drops effectually cure pains
in the breast, chiefly arising from colds, wcak
nefs and wafting of the body ; phthisical and con
sumptive coughs ; loss of appetite ; heCtic and night
fevers ; Swelling of the feet or legs; hard Swellings
of the joints, attended with pain and weakness ;
Swelling and hardness of the belly ; griping and
green Stools ; eruptions, boils and impofthumes ;
humour, Spots, films cr redness of the eyes ; they
purify, enrich and sweeten th* blood, open the ob
ftruCted glands, and carry cff gross humours. Its
balsamic, cleaning, and healing properties, where
by it abates the too rapid motion of the Sharp putrid
blood; the rich, Subtile and Softening essence it con
tains ; theeafe with which it enters the la&eal ves
sels, is assimilated with the bl od, and pervades
the whole animal system, renders it the greatest re
storative and friendly cordial perhaps ever yet dit
covered.
They impart a kindly warmth and due circula
tion of the blood, without heating, promote the
Secretions, and gradually remove those obstructions
which are the grand cause of all chronicle diseases.
Of how inucn benefit to the world must this me
dicine be, which caufeth all the necessary functions
to be rightly performed, in which immediately con
sists that greatest sublunary blessing, Health.
Many children who have been to all appearance
in the last Stage of a gonfumption, have been per
fectly cured by these drops, even when all other
means had been tried in vain.
That these drops are possessed of the valuable
qualities ascribed to them, many families in the
city of New-York, and several other parts of Ame
rica, as well as in Great-Britain, have happily ex
perienced; at whole request they are made public,
that their fulutary virtues and effects might not be
confined to the narrow circle of private practice;
and in order that people of all ranks may be sup
plied with a medicine of so great importance, a price
is set upon it vastly below its real worth ;—a proof
that the Proprietor preferred the public good to his
own private emolument.
After all, the author of these drops does by no
means pretend to recommend them after the ridi
culous manner of Quacks, under the pompous title
of an universal catholicon, to cure all the diseases
incident to mankind, but he dare boldly recommend
it as a medicine which will always give relief, in the
most dangerous small-pox, and generally cures the
maladies already mentioned.—ln a word, he is con
vinced, that it will be so powerful an advocate for
its own worth, and so effectually plead its own cause,
by affording that relief, and producing such good
effects, that whoever once makes trial of it, will
stand in no need of any other testimony to convince
them of its efficacy, or of any other argument to
persuade them to recommend it to their friends oq
every similar occasion.
The Specific Drops are fold by Mr. J. Sullivan,
Druggist, in Second-street, a few doors above Arch
ftreet ; at Messrs. W. and T. Bradfords book
store; Mr. W. Woodhouse, Bookseller, in Front
ftreet, near Chefnut-ftreet; and by J.Gallagher,
