HAMILTONs
Worm-destroying Lozenges,
IN various dangerous complaints aris
ing from worms, and from foulnefs or
obitrudion in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy what
ever to others of similar title, so common
ly complained of as operatirig with a de
gree of violence, fufficient not only to kill
worms, but sometimes to endanger the
patient's life ; on the contrary, a pecu
liar excellence of this remedy is its being
suited to every age and constitution ; —
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 a
week old, should no worms exist in the
body ; but will without pain or griping,
cleanse the stomach and bowels of what
ever is foul or offenfive, and thereby
prevent the production of worms and ma
ny fatal disorders. They are particular
ly efficacious in carrying off all gross hu
mors and eruptions ; feverifh and billiqus
complaints, and are the fafeft and mild
est purgative that can be used on any
occasion.
Children generally take this medicine
with cagernefs ; having a pleasant ap
pearance and an agreeable taste.
DESCRIPTION OF WORMS,
did the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infeft the human body|
are chiefly of four kinds, viz. —The teres
or large round worm, the efeirades, or
small maw-worm, the cucuvitina, or short,
flat, white worm, and lastly, the tania, or
tape worm, so called from its resemblance
to tape, this is often many yards long,
and is full of joints ; it is most hurtful
and most difficult to cure.
Among the fythptoms attending worms,
are disagreeable breath, especially in the
morning; hard and corrupted gums ; —
itching in the hose and about the feet ; —
convulsions and epileptic fits, and some
times privation of speech ; darting and
grinding of the teeth in sleep ; irregular
appetite, sometimes loathing food, and
sometimes voracious; purging,with flinty
and foetid stools ; vomiting : large arid
hard belly ; pains and sickness at the
stomach ; pains in the head and thighs ?
with lowness of spirits ; flow fever witli
small and irregular pulse ; a dry cough ;
excessive third ; sometimes pale and un
healthy countenance, and sometimes the
face bloated and slushed."
CT Persons afflided with any of the
above symptoms should Have immediate
recourse to Hamilton's Worm-dedroyirt^
Lozenges, which have been condantly
attended with success in all complaints
similar to those above described,
*, Recent cures, feleded from seve
ral hundreds, the authenticity of which
any person may afeertain by letter or
personal application, not being perform
ed in Europe, ne body knows Where—

. A daughter of Mr. Ewing Wiley,
No. 109, Cesar-street, Philadelphia, was
dreadfully afflicted witli worms, insomuch
that her life was with great reason de
fpairedof; her complexion fadedarid grew
pale and fallow ; her eyes sunken-; her
appetite was' loft, and facceeded by a
painful and constant sickness .at the fto
piach ; which general wafting and debil
ity, was accompanied with every appear
ance of a dangerous fever. From this
deplorable fituatioh flic was relieved, and
restored to a state of perfect health and
strength in a few days, by the use of
Hamilton's Worm-destroying Lozenges ;
which expelled a great number of large
pointed worms, from fix to nineor 12
inches in length ; one of which being of
a most extraordinary thickness, (supposed
from half an inch to an inch in diameter)
was opened and found to contain a
quantity of young ones. The above is
communicated by Mr. Wiley, believing
its perusal may be ufeful to many, by ex
tending the knowledge of a medicine
which merits universal attention.
MICHAEL DUFFY, residing at
No. 47, Wilke's-ftreet, Fell's point, in the
city of Baltimore, voluntarily maketh
oath, that the following statement is just
and true., 1
In the beginning of May last my
three children, a boy of seven, and two
girls, the one five, and the other three
years of age, were taken very ill, nearly '
at the fame time, of a common fever, as
I then supposed ; but was soon convinced ,
the disorder was caused by worms ; they
were frequently troubled with convulsion
fi&and violent ftartings in their sleep,
and with almost continual vomiting 'and
purging, particularly the.yopngeft. I
made immediate application tq a pltyfi

of their recovery!. .The youngest one ap
peared almost devoid of animation, and
scarcely an inhabitant of this world. , In
this distressing moment I was told that
Hamilton'^ Worm-destroying Lozenges
had performed many cures in cases equal
ly desperate. I immediately purchased
a box, and gave each of them.a dose,
which in a few hours produced the most
desirable, effe&s ; the eld^ft vomited a
great number of very large worms, and
the second thousands of small ones, many
of them not a quarter of an inch long ; —
in the yonr'geft they seemed to be con
sumed, and had the appearance of Ains
ofa slimy matter, 1 repeated the dose
agreeably to the paper of directions, and
they all speedily recovered a good date of
health, which they still enjoy, though five
:months have nearly elapsed, rince- they
I were on the borders of the grave, ard the
death of the whole appeared to be inevi-|

Candle Manufacturer, No. 28, Bridge-Jlreet, Bal

dtfroying Lozenges. 061. 12,1799°
Sir,
I think it my duty to inform you that
I have experienced the happiest effects
from your Lozenges, having been much'
affected for four years pad with various |
complaints caused by a cold, particularly
a constant pain in my stomach and bowels,
frequent and severe head ache, with a gen
eral latitude a/d.weaknefs, during which
time I had the best medical advice that
could be obtained from the most Wilful ;
physicians 1 could hear of, both American
and European, but without any alleviation
of my disorder.
Colds, Coughs, Sore
Throats and Asthmas.
HAMILTON'S ELIXIR.
A sovereign remedy for eolds,obftinate
coughs, Catarrhs, Asthmas, fore throats,
and approaching consumptions.
. £, Toparents who may have children affixed with
the Hooping Cough,
This difeovery is of the firft magnitude,
as it affords, immediate relief, checks the
progress, and in a short time entirely re
moves the most cruel disorder to which
children are liable. The Elixir is so per
fedly agreeable, and the dose so small,
that no difficulty arises in taking it.
. /DANGEROUS COLD.
DAVID GILBERT, Toyman, No.
46, South-Fourth-street, Philadelphia, vo
luntarily tnaketh oath, as follows, viz.-
That about eight months ago, he caught
a severe cold, which refilled every reme
dy he could think of, and produced the
most alarming effeft^ ; hd could procure
no rest for incessant coughing, nor breathe
without great pain and difficulty^ and
was finally fc exhausted, as to be scarcely
able to walk about, which left his friends
little hopes of his recovery, though the
prescriptions of a refpedable physician
were constantly attended to. # In this Si
tuation hearing of the effcacy of Hamil
ton's Elixir, a bottle was procured from
Mr. Bir^h, No. 17, South-Second-street,
the firft dose of which afforded the most
surprising relief, and gave him more ease
than he had enjoyed during the whole of
the above period, and before the contents
of one bottle were, taken, he was perfect
ly cured,, his strength and, appetite recov
ered, and not a symptom of his former
distressing complaints remained
.The above particulars the said David
Gilbert wiffies to be made public, as a
testimony of his gratitude, and for the
benefit of mankind, # ^

Dr. HAMILTON',
Grand Restorative
•. Is recommended as an invaluable
medicine, for the speedy relief and
permanent cure of the various com
plaints which result from dissipated
pleasures, juvenile, indiferetions, resi
dence in climates unfavorable to the
constitution ; the immoderate use of
tea, frequent intoxication, or any 0-
ther deftruaive intemperance ; the
iunikilful or excessive use of mercury ;
I the diseases peculiar to females at a
certain period of life; bad ladings

of the blood—Hyherical affedions—
Inward weakneifes—Violent cramps
in the stomach and back—lndigef-

Fluor albusor whites—lmpotency—
Barrenness, &c. &c.
In cases of extremity where the
long prevalence and obstinacy of dis
ease has brought on a general impo
verishment of the system, excessive
debility of the whole frame, and a
wafting of the flefh, which no nour
ithment or cordial could repair, a per
feverarice in the use of this medicine
has performed the most aftoniihing
cures.
The Grand Restorative is prepar-|
ed in pills as well as in fluid form,
which assists considerably in produc
ing a gradual & lading effeft. Their
virtues remain unimpaired for many
years in any climate.
Excellent Corn Plaifler

particularly freckles, pimples, pits as-,
ter small pox, ijifl.i)umatory r redncfs,|

fible perspiration, which is eflential tc
health ; yet its .effects are speedy and
permanent, rendering the skin deli

of youth. Never failing to render

Anti-billious Pills,
Which have been attended with a

jof the Weft-Indies, and the Southern
parts of the .United States, particu
larly in Baltimore, Peterfbuqg, Rich

I tehimony of a number of persons in
leach of the above places can be ad
duced, who have reason to believe
that a timely use of this-salutary rem
edy, has under Providence, pieferv
ed their lives when in the most alarm
ing circumstances. ."
Fads of this conclusive nature,
I speak more in fivor of a medicine
; than columns of pompous eulogy
' founded on mere assertion could do.
lltI It is riot indeed presumptuously prb
pofed as an infallible cure, but the
inventor hasevery pofliblc reason that
can result from extensive experience,
for believing that a dose of these Pills,
taken once every two weeks, during
the previdence of our bilious fevers,
will prove an infallible preventative
—and further; that in the earlier
stages of those defeafes, their use .will
very generally succeed in reftpring
health,and frequently in cases efte^m
ed desperate, and beyond the power
of common remedies.
The operation of these Pills is per
fectly mild, so as to be used with fafety
by persons in every situation, and of
every age.*
They are excellently adapted to
carry offfuperfluous bile, and prevent
its morbid secretion—to produce a i
free perspiration, and hereby prevent;
colds, which are often of mortal con
sequences—A dose never fails to re
move a cold, if taken on its firft ap
pearance. They are celebrated for
removing habitual costiveness—sick
ness at the stomach and severe head
iacl e—and ought to be taken by all
persons on change of climate.
They have been found remarkably
:efficatious, in preventing and curing
Idiforders attendant 011 long voyages,
and should be procured, and careful
ly preferred for use by every seaman.

Infallible Ague &
FEVER DROPS, . 1
For the cure of Agues, remittent and irferrnttent
Fevers.•
Thousands can teftify of their be
ing cured by° these drops, after the
bark and every other medicine has|
proved in^eabal ; and not one in a 1
hundred has had occasion, to take
! more than one, and numbers not |
:half a bottle;A
.These drops are particularly re
commended to the inhabitants oflow
marshy countries, where the worst
fort of agues generally prevail,,which
unless early attended to and speedily
removed, injure the constitution ex
ceedingly, and bring on dropsies, pu
trid fevers, and a variety of com
plaints, of the most dangerous and a
iarming nature. Many other medi
cines arc daily offered to the public
for the cure of this disorder, which I
upon trial have been found either
dangerous or useless. The bark is
the usual remedy made use of, but
being a very nauseous medicine, and
seldom taken in a fuffiejent quantity,'
it very often fails, and children arid.
those who have weak stomachs arel
frequently loft for want of a more easy
and pleasant remedy.
