IMITATION OF BURN'S ELIZA.
THOUGH doom'd to leave the youth I love,
And hail a dillant shore;
Yet constant as the tender dove,
Heaven's aid I'll oft implore
To shield thee from impending harm—
From pale-fac'd want and woe,
My lphorn feels the foft alarm
Which fouls congenial know.
Farewell ! Farewell ! my dearest friends; —
The pulse of love beats high ;
On thee my riling hopes depend ;
For thee 1 live I die.
My heart, with fondnefs, paints the scene
Which gilds a future day !
When nought but happiness serene
Shall smooth our loilfome way.

Dr. Hamilton's ELIXIR.
A sovereign remedy for colds, obstinate coughs, Asthmas, fore
throats, and approaching consumptions.
Thousands are too well acquainted with the nature and effects
of empirical medicines daily offered for the cure of the above
complaints—dear bought experience has taught them that oily
and heating medicines, joined with itrong opiates ( or, Ilcepy drugs)-
repeated doses of which flatter and deceive the patient for the
present, by procuring momentary ease ; experience, I fay, has
taught thousands thrt the common opiates and balfamics, as they
are called, finally aggravate every disorder of the bread and lungs,
in their molt diUrefling symptoms, that they load the stomach
and impair the digestion, inflame the whole system, increase the
difficulty of breathing, and excite fever. But the quality of this
valuable uifeorery are evidenced by perfectly opposite efteds. A
SINGLE TRIAL tyiLL PROVE that it restores the determination
of the fluids to the furface of the body, and brings on the com
mon healthful perspiration ; that it didodges and evacuates the
tough, vifeid phlegm, or mucus, strengthens the weakened vefftls
of the lungs, iheathes the acrimonious humours which irritate
the lungs, and finally difchirges them. Thus striking at the root
of the disorder, the symptoms are of course efiectualiy and per
manently conquered, the reverse of common medicines which
weaken the constitution ihd give Rrength to the disorder, for
the fake of moderating for the present some of its painful effeds.
To PAtyEN IS who may have chiidred afflicted with
the HOOPING COUGH.
This dilcovery is of the firh magnitude, as it affords immediate
relief, checks the ptogrels, and in a snort time entirely removes
the most cruel disorder ta which children are liable, the Elixir is
so perfectly agreeable and the dose so Snail that no difficulty a
riles in taking it.
