NORFOLK, October 6.
We received letters on Saturday and Sunday from Suffolk. They all agree in substance with the following one.
Suffolk, October 3—There can be no doubt but about the time the insurrection was to have commenced at Richmond, the same was to have taken place here. It is well ascertained, that on the 6th & 7th of September, there were 150 blacks assembled near Mr. Whitlock's mill.—Among them were 20 from Norfolk. These never left this neighbourhood until the Tuesday after it was known that the Richmond plan had failed. We have been endeavouring for several days by examinations and otherwise, to discover the promoters, and have them brought to justice; but there seems to prevail among them a determination to disclose nothing. We have however, committed two for trial; but I think the evidence will not be sufficient. We are also engaged in taking up and committing the negroes that came from Carolina, and passed as free; of these there are a great number. The inhabitants in this place are divided into regular patrols, and perform duty throughout every night. Exclusive of this, as our jail is full and not very strong the colonel has directed two companies of militia to meet here to day, and from them a guard will be taken and stationed at the jail. A number of mulattoes, negroes, & some whites whose connections were with the negroes, whom we have examined, confess that they had heard of the assembling of 150 negroes at the mill to do what those of Richmond were about to do; but equivocate and depart from the truth, when asked how they heard it. They further say, that the party at the mill dispersed because the number was too small, and intended to enlist more. I am inclined, however, to believe, that the disappointment at Richmond was the cause.
RICHMOND, October 14.
Ten of the Slaves concerned in the late insurrection, were executed on Friday last. GABRIEL and two of his accomplices, in this city; two near Four mile creek; and five others near the Brook. Among the latter were Smith's GEORGE and Young's GILBERT.
JACK BOWLER alias JACK DITCHER, for whom a reward of three hundred dollars was offered by the Governor, is now confined in the Penitentiary. He surrendered himself to Gervis Storr, Esq. one of the magistrates of Henrico county.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in this city, to his friend in New-York, dated September 20th, 1800.
"Having regularly attended the court which is now sitting here for the trial of the negroes concerned in the late alarming insurrection, I am enabled to give you the out lines of the principal facts that have been given in evidence.
"On Saturday morning the 30th ult. a negro man a few miles from Richmond, terrified with the thought of the danger to which he was about to expose himself, informed his master that a considerable body of slaves would set off on that evening from the Brook, six miles distant, for the purpose of massacring all the whites of Richmond, and to cause a general insurrection throughout the state. The master lost no time in communicating this important project to the executive who immediately took the necessary measures for defeating it. A corps of cavalry was dispatched to the Brook. The night was rendered still more memorable by a tremendous thunder storm which took place about the time when the negroes assembled, and terror spread itself among them. They regarded it as a judgment from Heaven.
The swelling of the waters prevented their meeting in a body, and it was a work of no difficulty to seize the suspected and convey them to Richmond. The number thus arrested amounted to 31. A court of enquiry composed of two magistrates, and a criminal tribunal of five, were instituted without delay; at the same time suitable counsel were assigned to the state and to the prisoners.
"One of the conspirators, a young negro of 18, named Ben, who had assisted in making cutlasses (of which a great number have been found) fearful of the consequences of being impeached by his comrades, determined to save his life by truing traitor himself. He surrendered to the court of enquiry, and made a discovery of all he knew. It will be necessary to observe to you by the way, that the chiefs had established what they called a free masonry; and the members were made acquainted with the plot, wholly or in part, according to their rank. The deposition of Ben led to a discovery of some of the chiefs whom he had seen at the shop; but, being only in his novitiate, he knew very little of the extent of the conspiracy. A negro named Gabriel, to whom they had given the appellation of General, kept concealed, and has not yet been apprehended, notwithstanding great exertions are used for that purpose and a considerable reward is offered as an inducement. Solomon, a mulatto, who was to have been appointed Treasurer, and Martin, a preacher, brother to Gabriel, have been tried and executed. In short Ben's evidence, with that of others who have since surrendered themselves, has cost the lives of 15 of these unhappy people, who have all been hanged. Three will be executed on Monday; and a Colonel George, alias Smith, is ordered for execution on the 3d of next month, at the place where the plot was formed. Twelve or fifteen have been acquitted for want of sufficient evidence; about 30 are yet in confinement, it is at present impossible to foresee when this dreadful tragedy will terminate.
"The judges conduct themselves with a degree of humanity highly honorable. The least doubt, the smallest suspicion, or contradiction on the part of the witnesses (who are kept in separate apartments) will often acquit Negroes who are really criminal.
"Until yesterday morning no suspicion was entertained of the negroes in town having any share in the insurrection plot; but last night a number of them were surprised and taken into custody. The threads of this combination begin to unravel; and the evil, we hope is cut up by the roots.

Of those who have been executed, no one has betrayed his cause. They have uniformly met death with fortitude.
A mulatto named Ben Woolfolk after receiving sentence of condemnation on Monday, declared to the court, that, though he deserved to die as much as any of those who had preceded him, yet he would make some important discoveries on conditions of having mercy extended to him. His deposition was privately taken by the court of examiners, and he developed facts of so much consequence that the court petitioned the governor for his pardon, which was acceded to.
On the trial of Colonel George, Ben Woolfolk (who had, previously received his pardon) answered to the interrogations of the attorney for the state, That about the first of July George came to him and asked him if he would be made a freeman? To which he answered No. That, notwithstanding his denial, George took him to the house of Gabriel, where he found a number of persons whom he named: That an oath was administered to him, by which he was bound not to discover the secret to man, women, or child, nor to any person whomsoever that he suspected had not genius or strength enough to support the plan. That they then informed him that they were assembled to obtain their liberty, and to render themselves masters of the country, by murdering all the whites except the white women: That Gabriel ordered all present to sit down, and his brother Martin who was acquainted with the Holy Scriptures, would speak to the company in his name. Being all seated, Martin explained, that their cause was similar to that of the Israelites, who had escaped from the Egyptians; and that if their cause was good, God would help them, and give strength to one hundred of them to destroy a thousand of their enemies, &c. That at the last assembly, which took place a fortnight before the thunder-storm: it was debated, Whether the execution of the conspiracy should be on Saturday the 30th August, or on the Sunday following. Gabriel wished it might be on Saturday, because all the negroes were noticed for that day; but George preferred Sunday as being more convenient for the people of Caroline county, who could not join the party without trouble on Saturday after quitting their work, & because they might travel on Sunday without suspicion. Gabriel overruled this by insisting they had hands enough to execute the project without them: and that after having killed the whites in Richmond, and having fortified themselves there, their brothers from other counties would come and join them. Saturday was therefore agreed upon.
The night on which the thunderstorm discovered the plot by dispersing the conspirators, 1000 men were to depart from the Brook (the place of rendezvous six miles from Richmond) in 3 columns. They would have set off at midnight: the right wing directing its march for the penitentiary house where all the arms of the state were deposited, without any other guard but the keepers: and the left wing for the powder house. These two columns were not armed. The centre well provided with cutlasses, knives, pikes and muskets would have entered the town at both ends and would have begun the carnage. Being joined by the other two columns with arms and powder, they would have fortified themselves, and waited for reinforcements, which would have come in from every quarter. The negroes of the town being in the plot, would have assisted them mightily by murdering their masters.
The cutlasses are made of sythes cut in two and fixed in well turned handles. I have never seen arms so murderous. Those who still doubt of the importance of the conspiracy which has been so fortunately frustrated, would shudder with horror at the sight of these instruments of death.
Military service is performed night and day Richmond resembles a town besieged: but I think the danger is over. All confidence among the negroes is destroyed, the will not venture to communicate one with another for fear of impeachment.
Lexington, November 3.
This day the general assembly of this commonwealth, commences its annual session, at Frankfort. We do not understand there is any business of moment to occupy its attention.
TRAVELLERS BEWARE!
We are informed, that on Sunday night last, as a gentleman passed from this place to Frankfort, he was attacked by a couple of ruffians, and after stabbing him in several places so as to disable him from resistance, they wrested from him his fad-
bleggs, or valise, and took out his money, consisting of about four hundred dollars. This happened about 7 miles from Lexington, near the sign of the reaper.

BY YESTERDAY'S MAIL.
LONDON, August 25.
The Hamburg mail which arrived on Saturday brought letters and papers from India, which contain the intelligence that a conspiracy had been discovered at Malacca, which had for its object the delivery of that settlement to the republicans. The plan had been arranged by the governor of Batavia, whence a communication had been for some time carried on with the Dutch residents at Malacca. Mr. Terin, formerly first in council, has been sent to Malacca by the Gajava, as has Mr. Ruddy, & Fiscall, by the Eliza, those persons appearing to have to have been principally active in this plot.
Cronenberg, the place which Admiral Dickson is supposed to attack, is a fortress in Denmark, in the island of Zealand, near Elfineur, which guards the passage to the sound. In this fortress is a royal palace, in which the late unfortunate queen Matilda, sister to his Britannic Majesty, was imprisoned till she was permitted to return to Zell. About half a mile from this is a garden, called Hamlet's Garden, said by tradition to be the spot where the murder of his father was perpetrated. Frederick II. King of Denmark constructed Cronenberg in 1577 and fortified it strongly. It is 15 miles from Copenhagen, near the town of Elfineur, and is the best defence of the country, whether against those who attack it on the side of the ocean, or in the Baltic sea.
August 27.
Government have despatches from Vienna to the 15th. The renewal of hostilities is not indicated although the French agent had returned from Vienna to Paris. It is therefore, probable, that he returned with some overtures for mollifying the first propositions of Buonaparte.
The answer of our Cabinet, when Buonaparte's overtures were communicated by the Emperor, was not unfavorable to a general peace. That answer has been sent to Buonaparte by the Court of Vienna; and our minister given government an account of its reception. And it is currently reported, that a direct intercourse has taken place between this country and France, on the subject of a general pacification. An express from Paris arrived yesterday morning. We know that no overtures for a just, solid, permanent peace will be refused by his majesty's Council. The funds have risen here in consequence of the reports we mention.—Paris papers to the 24th are silent as to any Negotiations.
PARIS, August 19.
The most esteemed gazettes of the north have been filled for some days past with conjectures concerning the destination of the Russian army, which is assembled on the banks of the Vistula, and which hourly increases. The following are the most remarkable of the speculations of the foreign journalists. A Hamburg Gazette, conducted by one of the most celebrated of the literati of Germany, is of opinion that 100,000 Russians are to be employed to procure for the emperor "a peace solid, durable, and upon conditions not too severe." For this purpose this army, with consent of the Emperor and King of Prussia, will come and take a position on the banks of the Danube during the negotiations. Another Hamburg Gazette, the editor of which it would seem is acquainted with the secrets of every cabinet, restores, by his own simple authority, the status quo ante bellum . Nevertheless, not to give France Austria for a neighbour, he consents to exchange Belgium for Bavaria, and send the elector of Bavaria to govern Belgium. This miracle too the Russians are to perform. Several other German gazettes are of a different opinion. They are contented with furnishing to Austria 80,000 men, who are to act as auxiliaries in case the integrity of the Germanic body does not form one of the preliminary bases of peace. We have thought it out duty to state the sentiments of some of the best known foreign journalists. It shews that they reason according to their respective views opinions and wishes.
ALTONA, August 15.
The subsidies which arrived at Hamburg from London for his Imperial majesty have been stopped by virtue of orders from England.
By private letters from Vienna, we learn that the emperor intends to decline the subsidy, and has refused to ratify the treaty: other accounts from respectable quarters assert that the emperor is far from being satisfied with the exorbitant demands made by Buonaparte, which are said to be the union of Piedmont and Genoa with the Cisalpine republic, by the name of the Italian Republic: also the union of the Brisgau, and a great part of Suabia, with the Helvetic republic. The first consul is said to have totally rejected the proposals made by great Britain for the French to cede Belgium and Holland, on condition of certain cessions which Britain will make of some of her colonial conquests.
It is consequently reported that the French are resolved to invade Naples, with a view of procuring means by the conquest of the kingdom to relieve Malta, and to reinforce their army in Egypt.
PHILADELPHIA October 20.
OF CURRACOA.
A gentleman from Kingston, (Jam.) which place he left 22d September arrived in town this morning, and has furnished us with the following information respecting Curracoa: On the 17th September, the French made attack on that place, in which they massacred about 80 Americans, together with a number of the Dutch inhabitants. The rest of the Americans and Dutch had fled into the fort for safety, where they were fortifying themselves.
In this attack the French plundered the warehouses, and pillaged and destroyed American and Dutch property to considerable amount.
Captain Hampton, of the Sally, belonging to this port, was at Curracoa, & had watched an opportunity to slip out in a small boat and have communication with the British frigate Niriad, cruising off there, of the commander of which he requested assistance, in the name of the governor. The Niriad furnished him with all the marines he could spare, with whom Captain Hampton returned. The governor of Curracoa had also sent to Jamaica for succours; and on the 20th September, three frigates with 700 troops left Kingston for this purpose. The
French who were in possession of the town and adjacent country, amounted to about 1400 men. The fort which commands the harbour, was defended by the Americans and Dutch. General Rigaud was at Curracoa at the time.
The gentleman from whom we received the above information, assures us that Mr. Phillips the American consul, had escaped the massacre and was safe in the fort. The Pickering sloop of war had not been at Curracoa.
The British frigate, it was thought would arrive at Curracoa in time to relieve the besieged, as Captain Hampton, assured our informant, that the fort was in a condition to hold out for a month.
Just as our paper was going to press, information was received from the supercargo of the brig Louisa, arrived from South America, of the capture of Curracoa by the British. General Rigaud, with a number of officers, and a large portion of ill gotten wealth, fell into the hands of the captors. Rigaud has been sent to Jamaica, where we understand he has since arrived.
KINGSTON, (N. Y.) September 10.
About three weeks since, Mr. Arnt Molter, of Platte-Kill, digging in a Marlepit, at the depth of 8 or 10 feet, found a number of large bones which on discovery appeared to be those of the Mammoth—They have not yet been able to far as to take out the whole number of bones but will effect it in a few days. It is expected they will find the whole skeleton.
The following is an accurate description of the size of such bones as have already been dug up, which was handed to us by a gentleman who measured them himself, and may be depended on.
Head 22 inches wide—Tooth, length 7 inches, width 3 1-2—Circumference of knee 4 feet one inch—Length of the rib 5 feet 5 inches, diameter 3 inches—Circumference of the neck bone, adjoining head 4 feet—Circumference of thickest part of the shoulder bone, 3 feet 4 1-2 inches.

THAT whereas Isaac Starns, of the County of Madison, and state of Kentucky, has obtained a deed of me to three hundred and ninety odd acres of Land, lying in the said County, in Hind's bend; it being my old plantation, and the said Isaac Starns was by agreement to convey the upper part of the said tract to one of his brothers, when required by me; and as the said Isaac Starns departed this life on the 22d. day of this instant, and has not conveyed the said half, nor made a will; I do hereby forwarn all persons from taking, renting or meddling with the said premises, until the division shall take place.

ALL PERSONS ARE hereby cautioned against taking an assignment on a bond, given by me to William Clark, for the payment of money. I am not certain as to the exact amount of the bond; but I believe it is two hundred and sixty two pounds ten shillings, payable on the 6th day of November 1800, and dated the 6th day of November 1799. The above bond was given in consequence of a purchase of land from said Clark, and as I have reason to believe part of said land will be taken away by prior claims, I am determined not to pay the above bond until the title is secure, unless compelled by law.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
To a young Lady who seems to be in Love.
SAY lovely maid, with down cast eye And cheek, with silent sorrow, pale; What gives thy heart the lengthen'd sigh, That heaving, tells a mournful tale?  Thy tears which thus each other chase, Bespeak a breast o'erwhelm'd with woe: Thy sighs, a storm that wrecks thy peace, Which fouts like thine should never know.  Oh! tell me, doth some favour'd youth Too often blest, thy beauties slight; And leave those throes of loves and truth; That lip, and bosom of delight?  What, though to other nymphs he flies, And feigns the fond impassi'on'd tear; Breaths all the eloquence of sighs, That treacherous won thy artless ear.  Let not those nymphs thy anguish move, For whom his heart may seem to pine; That heart shall ne'er be blest by love, Whose guilt can force a pang from thine.
ANECDOTE.
The Duke of Richmond being asked, why he ordered the captain's guard to mount in the kitchen? replied, that he wished to accustom the captains of militia to stand fire.
HONOUR.
The Spanish historians relate a memorable instance of honour and regard to truth. A Spanish cavalier in a sudden quarrel flew a Moorish gentleman and fled. His pursuers soon lost sight of him, for he had unperceived thrown himself over a garden wall. The owner, a Moor happening to be in his garden, was addressed by the Spaniard on his knees, who acquainted him with his case, and implored concealment. "Eat this," said the Moor, (giving him half a peach) "you now know that you may confide in my protection." He then locked him up in his garden apartment, telling him as soon as it was night he would provide for his escape to a place of greater safety. The Moor then went into his house, where he had but just seated himself, when a great crowd, with loud lamentations, came to his gate, bringing the corpse of his son, who had just been killed by a Sapaniard. When the first shock of surprise was a little over, he learnt from the description given, that the fatal deed was done by the very person then in his power. He mentioned this to no one; but as soon as it was dark retired to his garden, as if to grieve alone, giving orders that none should follow him. Then accosting the Spaniard, he said, "Christian, the person you have killed is my son, his body is now in my house. You ought to suffer; but you have eaten with me, and I have given you my faith, which much must not be broken." He then led the astonished Spaniard to his stables, and mounted him on one of his fleetest horses, and said "Fly far, while the night can cover you; you will be safe in the morning. You are indeed guilty of my son's blood: but God is just and good, and I thank him I am innocent of yours, and that my faith given is preserved."
This point of honour is most religiously observed by the Arabs and Saracens, from whom it was adopted by the Moors of Africa, and by them was brought to Spain; the effects of which remain to this day: so that when there is any fear of a war breaking out between England and Spain, an English merchant there, who apprehends the confiscation of his goods as those of an enemy, thinks them safe if he can get a Spaniard to take charge of them; for the Spaniard secures them as his own, and faithfully redelivers them, or pays the value, whenever the English demands them. One instance of Spanish honour cannot but still be fresh in the memory of many living, and deserves to be handed down to the latest posterity.
The following is given in a mutilated form in a morning paper, the reply of the Frenchman has been omitted.
A SPIRITED PUN.
A French gentleman lately called at a Federal tavern for a gill of wine, which being brought in a glass, he observed that the quantity was very small, and that in France it was always the custom to bring liquor in a measure—Aye said the landlord, but we don't wish to introduce French measures here.
THE REPLY.
No, sir, said the Frenchman, you are too fond of British measures, to use even just measures, in huckstering your wine.

October 27th, 1800.
GIVE notice to gentlemen who have been customers to my horse BLAZE, and those who wish to breed from him, that I mean to move him from this state next season, unless they will come forward and enter their mares to the amount of 150, at 50 payable on note at Christmas in whiskey delivered in Lexington at market price, or Flour delivered in Frankfort at market price, or note for twelve dollars for the season, or seven the single leap, paid at Christmas 1801—I find money very scarce and difficult to collect, is the reason I wish to move him, the indulgence I have given has caused me to suffer much for money.

MEDICINES:
HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES,
Which have, within eighteen months past, given relief to upwards of FIFTY THOUSAND PERSONS, of all ages, in various dangerous complaints, arising from worms and from foulness or obstruction in the stomach and bowels.
A peculiar 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 tenderest infant of a week old, should no worms exist in the body—but will without pain or griping cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders.
Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Teres or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small worm 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 symptoms attending worms, are, disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted gums—Itching in the nose and about the seat—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Starting and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purging, with slimy and fecid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and tickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
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 similar to those above described.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness, having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
RECENT CURES,
SELECTED FROM SEVERAL HUNDREDS.
MICHAEL DUFFY, residing at No. 57, Wilkes street, Fell's Point, city of Baltimore, voluntarily maketh oath, that the following statement is just and true.
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 same 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 fits, and violent startings in their sleep, and with almost continual vomiting and purging, particularly the youngest. I made immediate application to a physician of the first reputation, and his medicines were administered with a confidence of success which only increased our disappointment. The children grew daily worse, and I was absolutely without hopes of their recovery. The youngest one appeared 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 equally 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 confused, and had the appearance of skins, of a slimy matter I repeated the dose agreeably to the paper of directions, and they all speedily recovered a good state of health, which they still enjoy, though five months have nearly elapsed since they were on the borders of the grave, and the death of the whole appeared to be inevitable.
Sworn before me, this 26th day of September, 1799. J. SMITH.
INFALLIBLE AGUE AND FEVER DROPS,
For the cure of Agues, Remittent and Intermitent Fevers.
Thousands can testify of their being 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 more than one, and numbers not half a bottle.
These drops are particularly recommended to the inhabitants of low marshy countries, where the worst sort of agues generally prevail, which unless early attended to and speedily removed, injures the constitution exceedingly, and brings on dropsies, putrid fevers, and a variety of complaints, of the most dangerous and alarming nature. Many other medicines 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 sufficient quantity, it very often fails; and children, and those who have weak stomachs, are frequently lost for want of a more easy and pleasant remedy.
THE SOVEREIGN OINTMENT FOR THE ITCH,
Which is warranted an infallible remedy at one application, and may be used with the most perfect safety by pregnant women, or on infants a week old, not containing a particle of mercury, or any dangerous ingredient whatever, and is not accompanied with that tormenting smart, which attends the application of other remedies.
PREVENTION BETTER THAN CURE.
For the prevention and cure of Bilious and Malignant Fevers, is recommended
DR. HAHN'S ANTI-BILIOUS PILLS,
Which have been attended with a degree of success highly gratifying to the inventor's feelings, in several parts of the West Indies, and the southern of the United States, particularly in Baltimore, Petersburg, Richmond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington, Charleston, and Savannah. The testimony of a number of persons in each of the above places can be adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy, has, under Providence, preserved their lives when in the most alarming circumstances.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age.
They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent its morbid secretions—to restore and amend the appetite—to produce a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, which are often of fatal consequences—A dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance.—They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness—tickness at the stomach and severe head ache—and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
THE GENUINE ESSENCE AND EXTRACT OF MUSTARD,
For the cure of Rheumatism, Gout, Palsy, Sprains, White Swellings, &c. and has performed more cures in the above complaints, than all the other medicines ever before made public.
DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, obstinate Coughs, Asthmas, and approaching Consumptions, and is far superior to any other medicine for the WHOOPING COUGH.
