;-THE KING'S EVIL.
/RADICALLY CURED. -•
~.Ocer the greeted parr of America life afflicting
vlifeafe has prevailed for several years; with an ef
fect on human life, health and beauty, that has
not been surpassed by any other disease excepting
only the Yellow Fever, which, as it lent a, a judg
ment from heaven upon us for tlnde vicesand im
pure. connexions, to which the origin of this djfeafe
is generally attributed, vilited, us at the moment
when the yellow fever was iu. its most violent
Aages. ' Isis remarkable, that it has been cured
in our city in the very year that the yellow fever
has ceased to affli& us.
This fatal and desolating malady, seems to have
united ail the extreme feyerities ofthe most oppo
site disease ;it was not only fatal to life, but like
the (mail pox deformed the surviver ; and like
the class of apoplelt diseases, affected the mind
afro..
* The origin of the king's evil though certainly
traceable to an impure and unnatural intercoufie,
was much more aggravated 'by the ignorance an&
avarice of certain quacks, who pretending to
minister-health to the people, were secretly d
ploying nostrums to diffufe it more widely^
order to enrich themfelvcs and families, upora
afflictions of the unfortunate. The quacks hovre 4
ever,undertookto publicly defend their deleterious
compounds, and the deletion was for some time so
dangerously prevalent, that there was great dan
ger of the whole ,nation falling a prey to these
quacksi
The evil was at length felt so generally by the
large draughts made on the purses of the patients
and by an attempt to inftifute an herditary order
ofphyfaans, to be feleaed out of ,e family of
ibefe quacks, that a geaerar alarm (spread. This
alarm was very particularly excited by the open
declarations of one great profeffor of quackery,
of the name of Adams, who declared that there
Should hot only be hereditary college of quacks,
but a supreme quack over them, whole posterity
should inherit, either by a Sarbonuic fquirtation,
or Tome other occult means, all the power and
knowledge from the moment of his birth, necef,
fary to citron! the elements and render thf peo
ple Wider the &*< evil as patient and obedient
;as ifThey were in Bedlam or the Baftile.
Another notorious quack of the name of Hamil-
; ton, whole impure habits have been avowed by
, Lhimfelf in a curious publication in vindication of
his quackery, proposed to establish a body of aux
iliaries or assistants, not less than 20,000, whose
butinefs it would be to enforce the profile of the
a mere quacks on all wb& should be refractory.
TteywWere to be- employed as fumicators, and
were td administer a medicine called Pillula Sa,-
turni, qr pills of three fourths of ag iqch diaine :
ter ,• bf th bfy'as occasion might require,,
'Another q&ack of the name' of Frelingliaufen
• proposed amputating or transporting those who
would not submit to innoculating for this evil, alp
though it was known that the inoculatflfeldom
or never recovered,' but carried the malady with
them to the grave, as was manifested by the late
- Mr. Shoemaker of this city in & most lamentable
, manner. -. . J'
Some old Physicians who had refilled the Im
portation of that disease, and with the greatest est
* fed,twenty four years ago were induced to come
forward; and to arteft the disease before the case
was irremediable. A venerable physician df
, the name of M'Kean begun with wonderfdl
success; with the old medicine of public Spirit, anp'
occasional' purges for an auixliary disease celled
4 old Toryifrri : thb practice was pursued ih Virg|-
.r nia <4y another regular bred physician of the nan^e
of Muoree, and the cure was c<Mnpletefrtabb
ed in that date. In New-York the quacks had
' taken a Strong bold, and had contrived to get one
df theft printip^ nd Most rninons tmattaers
into to wee there; but a phyficianofr the name of
Burr, prescribed the .Manhattan waters, which
;/ have been found sovereign people remedy agaiuft
the rti^'s e&Z in that Bate. -' A
The disease remains in some degree in the
.~i ward, but arid# the salutary regimen, is,n a fan
way ta'be,eradicated wholly in the coutfe of the
present winter. The cold weather has already
been very attfpicibus in the cohvalefcents> and it
.appears that off Turiday the tip in °; b,„

the public pririts, written by him, when Vice Pro
ficient, to Tench Coxe, it of itfeJf.conclufive.efl^
denee of the juttnefs of this sentiment. It is.im
poffible to speak of this tranfattion in terms, suit
ed to its nature, without losing fight that Mr. Ad
ams is Pfefident of the United States,
“ This letter avows the fuTpicion, that the ap
pointment df Mr, Pinckney, to the Court of Lon
don, had been procured or promoted by British
Influence. And considering the parade with
which the ftory.of the Duke of Leeds is told, it is
fair to confider, that circumßance is the principal,
if not the sole ground of the odious and degrading
suspicion.
'< Let any man of candor or knowledge of,the
world pronounce on this species of evidence.-''
page 14. " V
No. 3. " But a more fenous question remains
—How will Mr. Adams answer to the government
<nd to hjs country for having thus wantonly giv'-
n the fantlion of his opinion to the word of the
assertions which the enemies of the administration
have impudently thrown upon i| ? Can we be
surprised that such a torrent of slander has poured
out againfl it, when a man, tpe second in official
rank, the second in favor of the friends of the
government, stooped to become himfe/fono of the
calumniators ? It is pecularly unlucky for Mr; A;
dams in this affair, that he is known to have de
sired at the time, the appointment which was giv
en to My. Pinckney. The Prefjdent declined |he
meafufe, thinking that it wag compatible neither
with the spirit of the confutation nor with thf
dignity of the government, tu defignat# the Vifo
President to such a flation.

“ The contrary course, which was purfaed, h

driven to seek a folutioe for it in some system hf

most fatal to himfelf, and for'the cause of public
order, of any that hecould possibly devile. It is
by temporizings like these, that men at the bead
of affairs, life the refpeft both offriends and foes.
It is by temporizings like these, that in times of
