•Worm-deftroving Lozenges,
IN various dangerous complaints aris
ing from worms, and from foulnefs or
obftrudtion in the ilomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy what
ever to others of similar title, so common
ly complained of as operating 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, Ihould' 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 he particular-'
ly efficacious in carrying off all gross hu
mors and eruptions ; feverifh and ,billions
complaints, and are the fafeft and mild
cft purgative that can be used on any
pccafion.
Children generally take this medicine
with eagerness ; having a pleasant ap
pearance and an agreeable taste.
DESCRIPTION OF WORMS,
Had the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infett 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 t^nia, 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 symptoms attending worms,
are disagreeable breath, especially in the
morning ; hard and corrupted gums ; —
itching in the nose and about the feet ; —
convulsions and epileptic fits, and some
times privation of fpcech ; darting and
grinding of the teeth in deep ; irregular
appetite, sometimes loathing food, and
sometimes voracious; purging, with slimy
and foetid stools ; vomiting : large and
hard belly ; pains and sickness at the
stomach ; pains in the head and thighs,
with lowncfs of spirits ; flow fever with
small and irregular pulse ; a dry cough ;
cxceffive third ; sometimes pale and un
healthy countenance, and sometimes the
face bloated and slushed.
# Persons afflicted with any of the
above symptoms should have immediate
recourse to Hamilton's Worm-destroying
Lozenges, which have been constantly
attended with success in all complaints
timilar to those above described.
*, Recent cures, fele&ed from feve
pal hundreds, the authenticity of which
any person may afeertain by letter or
personal application, not being perform
ed in Europe, no body knows where—
but at home. , ,
A daughter of Mr. Ewing Wiley,
No. 109, Cedar-street, Philadelphia, was
dreadfully affli&ed with worms, insomuch
that her life was with great reason de
fpairedof; her complexion faded and grew
hale and fallow ; her eyes sunken ; her
appetite was loft, and succeeded by a
painful and constant sickness at th^ fto
rnach ; which general wafting and debil
ity, was accompanied with every appear
ance of a dangerous fever. From this
deplorable situation Ihe was relieved, and
restored to a date 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 nine or 12
inches in length ; one of which being of
a most extraordinary thickness, (supposed
from half an inch to an inch in diameter)
w^s 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.
In the beginning of May last my 1
three children, a boy of seven, and two
I girls, the one five, and the other three
years of age, were taken very ill, nearly
„ 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 convtilfion
fits, and violent Partings in their sleep,;
and with almost continual vomiting and|
purging, particularly the youngest. I
made immediate application to a physi
cian of the firft reputation, and his medi
cines were administered with 4 confidence
of fucce§ which only increased our difap
pointmant. The children grew daily
^,? "nd Twfyihfolntely without hopes

>of their recovery. The youngest one ap
pea-red almost devoid of animation, and
scarcely an inhabitant of this world. In
this distressing moment I was told that
Hamilton's 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 effects ; the eldest 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 youngest they seemed to be con
sumed, and had the appearance of skins
ofa slimy matter. I repeated the dose
agreeably to the paper of directions, and
they all speedily recovered a good date of
health, which they dill enjoy, though five
months have nearly elapsed, since they
were on the borders of the grave, and thel
death of the whole appeared to be inevi-i
table.

Letter from Mr. John AberCROMBY, Soap and
Candle Manufacturer, No. 28, Bridg^freet, Bal
timore,,to the Proprietors of Hamilton's Worm
defraying Lozenges. Oa. 12, 1799.
Sir,
I think it my duty to inform you that
I have experienced the happiest effeds
from your Lozenges, having been much
affected for four years past with varichis
complaints caused by a cold, particularly
a constant pain in my stomach and bowels,
frequent and severe head ache, with a gen
eral latitude and Weakness, during which|
time I had the best medical advice that |
could be obtained from the most fkilfulj
physicians I 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.
^, To parents nvbo may have children affixed with
the Hooping Cougb,
This difeovery is of the firft magnitude,
as it affords, immediate relief, checks the
progress, and in a Ihort time entirelyre
moves the mod cruel disorder to which
children are liable. The Elixir is so per
fectly 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 maketh 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 effects ; he could procure
no rest for incessant coughing, nor breathe
without great pain and difficulty, and
was finally so exhausted, as to be scarcely
able to walk about, which left his friends
little hopes of his recovery, though the
prescriptions of a refpedable phylician
were constantly attended to. In this si
tuation hearing of the efficacy of Hamil
ton's Elixir, a bottle was procured from
Mr. Birch, 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
diftrefling complaints remained
The above particulars the laid David
Gilbert wilhcs to be made public, as a
testimony of his gratitude, and for the
benefit of mankind.

Grand Restorative
Is recommended as an invaluable
Imedicine,1 medicine, for the speedy relief and
Ipermanent cure of the various com-
Iplaints which result from dissipated
I pleafures, juvenile indiferetions, refi
!dence in climates unfavorable to the
conilitution ; the immoderate use of
tea, frequent intoxication, or any 0-
ther deftru&ive intemperance; the
I unfkilful or excetlive use of mercury;
the diseases peculiar to females at a
certain period of life ; bad layings
in, &c.
And is proved by long and exten
sive experience to be absolutely un
paralleled in the cure of nervous dis
orders—Consumptions—Lowness of
spirits—Loss of appetite—lmpurity
of the blood—Hysterical affections—
llnwardI Inward weaknesses—Violent cramps
in the stomach and back—lndigef
tion—Melancholy—Gout in the sto

tions—lnvoluntary emissions—Semi
nal weaknesses—-Obstinate gleets—-
IFluor albusor whites—lmpotency—
I Barrenness, &c. &c.
In cases of extremity where the
I long prevalence and obitinacy of dis
ease has brought on a general impo
verishment of the fyltem, exceflive
debility of the whole frame, and a
wafting of the flefli, which no nour
ilhment or cordial could repair, a per
severance in the use of this medicine
has performed the most aftoniffiing
cures.
The Grand Restorative is prepar
ed in pills as well as in fluid forth,
which assists considerably in produc
ing a gradual & lading effed. Their
virtues remain unimpaired for many
years in any climate.

Dr. HAHN's
Anti-billious Pills,
IWhich have been attended with a
degree of success highly grateful to
the inventor's feelings, in federal parts
of the Weft-Indies, and the Southern
parts of the United States, particu
larly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Rich
mond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilming
ton, Charleston and Savannah. The
testimony of a number of persons in
each 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, pi eferv
ed their lives when in the most alarm
ing circumstances.
Fads of this conclusive nature,
speak more in favor of a medicine
than columns of pompous eulogy
founded on mere assertion could do.
It is not indeed presumptuously pro
posed as an infallible cure, but the
inventor has every possible reason that
can result from extensive experience,
for believing that a dose of these Pills,
taken once every two weeks, during
the prevalence of our billious fevers,
will prove an infallible preventative
—and further; that in the earlier
stages of those defedfes, their use will
very generally succeed in restoring
health,and frequently in cases edeem
ed desperate, and beyond the power
of common remedies.
The operation of these Pills is per
fe&ly mild,fo 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
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
ache—and ought to be taken by all
persons on^change of climate.
They have been found remarkably
eflicatious, in preventing and curing
disorders attendant on long voyages,
and should be procured, and careful
ly preserved for use by every fe'aman.
Anodyne Elixir.

Infallible Ague &
FEVER DROPS,
For the cure of Agues, remittent and intermittent
\ Fevers.
Thousands can teftify of their be
iing cured by these drops, after the
bark and every other medicine has
proved ineffectual ; and not one in a
hundred has had occasion, to take
I more than one, and numbers not
half a bottle.
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, arid a variety of com
plaints, of the most dangerous and a
larming nature. Many other medi
cines are daily offered to the public
for the cure of this disorder, which
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 fufficient quantity,
it very often fails, and children and
those who have weak stomachs are
frequently loft for want of amore easy
and pleasant remedy.
