HAMILTON'S
IVcrm-deltroying LOA ENGES,
WHICH have within Three Tear/ pad cur
ed upwards of One Hundred and Twenty
Tiefad Perlons,of both Icxes, of every age, and
in every liquation, of various dangerous com
plaints, ariting from worms, and from foulnefs or
obftrudtions in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever to
others of iimijar title, so commonly complained
of, as operating with a degree of violence, fuffi
eient not only to kill worms, but sometimes to
endanger the patient's life ; on the contrary a
peculiar excellence of this remedy is its being
United to every age and ctnftitwion ; contains
nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is
so mild in its operation that it cannot injure
the most delicate pregnant lady,Or the tendered
Infant ofa week old, should no wdrms exist in
the body ; but will without pain or griping
clcanfe the Abroach and bowels of whatever is
foul or offenfive, and thereby prevent the pro
audion of worms and many ratal diforders.-=
They are particularly efficacious in carrying off
all gross huntours and eruptions ; feverifh and
bilious complaints, and are the fafeft and mild
est purgative that can be used on any decafion.
DESCRIPTION OF WORMS
/nd thefymptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infett the human body
are chiefly of four kinds, viz. The teres or large
foil! warm, t^e afcaride, or maw worm, the
Cucurbitina, of short, flat white worm ; and
Juftl,, the taenia or tape worn:, so called from
its refembUnce to tape, this is often many yards
long, and is full of joints ; it is most hurtful &
molt difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are
dQretable breath, cfpecially ih the morning ;
bad and corrupted gums; itching in the nose
and about the feat, couvulfions and epileptic fits,
^nd sometimes privation of speech ; starting &
grinding of the teeth in sleep; irregular appe
tite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes
voracious; piirging,with slimy and forced llools;
vomiting ; large and hard belly ; pains and
\ sickness at the stomach ; pains in the head and
thighs, with lowness of spirits ; flow fever,with
small and irregular pulse ; a dry cough ; excef
free third; sometimes pale and unhealthy coun
tenance, and sometimes the face bloated and
flushed.-
Perfors affii&ed with any of the above fymp
roms, should have immediate recourse to Ham
ilton's Worm Defraying Lozenges, which have
been constantly attended with success in all
complaints fimiiar to thofc above deferred.
A dole of this medicine given occasionally
during the warrii feafon,will effectually prevent
the “ vomiting and purging of children," a
dreadful disorder which annually destroys tbou
fards of the infant part of opr citizens, it is
jikewife the mildest ard most certain remedy
known, and has rettored to health and strength
A great number tvhen in an advanced Qagc of
this fatal complaint—particular and plain in
flru&ioti9 are given for every part of the neces
sary treatment in such cases.
Children generally take this medicine with
eagemefs having a pfeafing appearance, and an
agreeable taste. . I dollar a box.
TAPE WORM.
Mr. SAMUEL FULLER, Innkeeper on the
Hartford rood, ten mites from Baltimore, began a
bout 12 months ago to be grievously afflicted
with a tape worm, which increased faft in fixe
and strength, so as to excite,the moll hoirid
sensations by i>s writhing motions, and intolera
ble pai% refcmbling the gnawing and tearing
of his bowels, w hich deprived him of his necef-
Jarv sleep, and cteufed fitch dreadful apprehen
ftons as cannot be conceived but by one in a
similar filtration—his appetite wafted rapidly,
And with that his strength, fb that he was un
able to attend to any bufinefs —when lie Jietird
, of some excellent cures performed by Hamil
' ion's worm-lozenges, he took a large dofe,which
brought away about FOUR YARDS of the
.Worm (now in tbefoftfin of Lee & Co.) —but a
renewal of his pains soon convinced him that
rhis moniiro^ reptile had recovered itsfirft vi
gour —Application w as made to Lee & Co. for
more of their me,icine;with their advice—from
bhich refused the total expnifion of his formi-
Q^ble enemy, in fevcral pieces, which he fup
pefed to be SIX or FIGHT YARDS more —
A few weeks have since elapsed, and Mr. Ful
ler is now in perfect health. The above fat^S
are well known to a numerous circle of his
neighbours, and himfelf will gratify any who
pray wife to make further enquiries on the
fubje&. Although Hamilton's worm-lozenges
produce such powerful effe&s when neceffuty,
yet tl.ev are perfedlly innocent and mild in their
operation on the human body, even when tak
en in large doles, as Mi. Fuller will teftify —
their peculiar mildness is abundantly evident in
the cures of infants already published.

Dr. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A Sovereign remedy for colds, obsti
nate coughs, catarrhs, asthmas, fore throats,and
approaching cohfumptions.
Thousands are too well acquainted with the
nature and effects of empyrieal medicines daily
offered for the cure of the above complaints—
dear bought experience has taught them that
oily and heating medicines, joined with firing
opiates (or Sleepy drugs) repeated doses of which
flatter and deceive the patient for the present, b,
procuring momentary case ; experience, I fay,
has taught thousands that the common opiates
and balfamies, as they are called, finally aggra
vate every diford^r of,,he breast and lungs, in
their mod diftreffiog symptoms, that they load
the stomach and impair the digeflion, ingame
the whole system, increase the difficulty of
breathing, and excite fever. But the quality of
this valuable discovery are evinced,by perfect
ly opposite effects. A SINGLE TRIAL WILL
PROVE that it reflores the determination of
the fluids to the furface of the body, and brings
on the common healthful perspiration ; that it
dislodges andevacuates the tough, vifcidpblegm,
or mucus, {Lengthens the weakened v^tfels of
the lungs, Ihcathes the acrimonious humours
which irritate the lungl and finally discharges
them. Thus striking at the root of the disorder,
the symptoms are of course effectually and per
manently conquered, the reverse of common
medicines which weaken the eenftitution and
give strength to the diforijer, for the fake of
moderating fopthe ftreftnt some of its painful
effects.
To parents who may have children afflicted,
with the Hooping Cough, this discovery is of
the firft magnitude, as it affords immediate re
lief, checks the profcfs, and in a short time en,
tirely removes the mod cruel disorder to which
children are liable. The Elixir is so perfectly
agreeable, and the dose so small, that no difficul
ty arises in taking it. 1 Dollar a bottle.

Was cured by one bottle of Hamilton's Elixir, of a
