20 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.
Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known. Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Teras or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw 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 foetid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickens at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excellent 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 intermittent Fevers. Thousands can testify of their being cured by these drops, after the bark and every other medi-
cine 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, injure 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 na-
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—sickness 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 Swelling, &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, Obsolete Coughs, Asthmas, and approaching Consumptions, and is far superior to any other medicine for the WHOOPING COUGH.
INDIAN VEGETABLE SPECIFIC, For the Cure of a Certain Disease.
HAMILTON'S GRAND RESTORATIVE, Is recommended as an invaluable medicine for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures, juvenile indiscretions, residence in climates unfavorable to the constitution, the immediate use of mercury; the diseases peculiar to females at a certain period of life; bad lyings in, &c.
THE DAMASK LIP-SALVE, An elegant and pleasant preparation for chopped and sore lips, and every blemish and inconvenience occasioned by Colds, Fevers, &c. speedy restoring a beautiful rosy color, and delicate softness to the lips.
THE RESTORATIVE POWDER FOR THE TEETH AND GUMS. This excellent preparation comforts and strengthens the gums, preserves the enamel from decay, and cleanses and whitens the teeth, absorbing all that acrimonious slime and foulness, which suffered to accumulate never fails to injure and finally ruin them.
DR. HAHN'S TRUE & GENUINE GERMAN CORN-PLAISTER, An infallible remedy for Corns, speedily removing them root and branch, without giving pain.
DR. HAHN'S GENUINE EYE WATER, A sovereign remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness or of accident, speedily removing inflammations, defluxions of rheume, dulness, itching, and films on the eyes, never failing to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the small-pox, measles, and fevers, and wonderfully strengthening a weak sight. Hundreds have experienced its excellent virtues, when nearly deprived of sight.
TOOTH-ACHE DROPS, The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances. THE ANODYNE ELIXIR, For the cure of every kind of Head-Ache, &c. &c.

The following are the amendments to the constitution of the United States proposed by Mr. Nicholas, on Friday, which were referred to Messrs. Nicholas, Harper, Macon, Griswold and Evans.
Previously to reading them, Mr. Nicholas noticed the propositions submitted by him during the last session, and the extraordinary provisions made in a bill received from the Senate, and stated the improbability of his voting for his own propositions, in case they had been called up by the house.
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States, two thirds of both houses concurring, that the following articles be proposed to the legislatures of the different States, as amendments to the constitution of the United States.
1. That after the third day of March, in the year 1801, the choice of electors of President and Vice-President, shall be made by dividing each state into a number of districts, equal to the number of electors to be chosen in such state, and by the persons in each of those districts who shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the legislature of such state, choosing one elector in the manner which the legislature thereof shall prescribe.
2. That the election of representatives to serve after the third day of March, in the year one thousand eight hundred and three, shall be by dividing each state into a number of districts equal to the number of representatives to which such state shall be entitled, and by the people within each of those districts who shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the legislature of such state, choosing one representative in the manner which the legislature thereof shall prescribe.
On Friday the House authorized their door-keeper to employ an additional assistant, and to hire two horses; to enable him to do which they allowed him 28 dollars per week during the session and for twenty days after its close.

CORK, September 20.
IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
The Bath Herald mentions a very useful experiment made by the Agricultural Society of that place. It relates to a mode of preserving potatoes, which is by slicing them in their skins, and afterwards drying
them in an oven or kiln, by which means it has been proved demonstrably, that they may be preserved for years without injury and be as good for food, as when they were taken from the ground. A parcel of skinned potatoes, which had undergone the same process, were afterwards ground in a mill to meal, and sent to Jamaica in a barrel four years since; nor did they appear the least affected either by the voyage, or lapse of time.
The wonderful importance of this discovery, should it succeed upon further trial, is evident from the following remarks.—The same extent of ground under the potatoe root, produced a much greater, perhaps a double or treble quantity of food for man, than under any species of corn whatever, which can be cultivated in this country: but no method having hitherto been invented of keeping it beyond the year; the prolific nature of this plant is thus circumscribed in its use and the culture of it limited to the quantity which may be wanted in the neighborhood, during the few months that it will keep.—But if by means of drying, it can either be reduced into the form of biscuit, or ground into flour, and thus kept for years without any considerable diminution of its nutritive qualities; the inevitable consequence would be, that a vastly greater quantity of land would be converted into the purpose of growing it, and thus the food and number of our species would be proportionably increased. The market of the entire world being substituted for the present small demand, extending only a few miles round the place of its growth, would render this root an object of cultivation for other countries as well as for the most distant parts of our own and the fear of its spoiling before it can be sold would no longer restrain as at present, the most enlarged cultivation of it.

BOSTON, November 17.
IMPORTANT CAPTURE.
On Saturday anchored in Nantasket Roads, the United States frigate Boston, George Little Esq. commander, with her prize, the French national Corvette Le Berceau, commanded by citizen Louis Andre Senez, captured on the 12th October, in lat. 22, 50, N. long. 51, W. after an action of one hour and forty minutes. Le Berceau mounts 22 French nine, and two 12 pounders on one deck, & had on board at the commencement of the action 230 men. Her loss was 35 killed, and a number wounded. The names of the killed and wounded on board the Boston are—William Ford, John Higgins, Matthias Jasey, and William McKee, killed; Mr. Samuel Young purser, Thomas Hartley, and Nathaniel Dill, wounded, since died; and Mr. J. M. Hazwell, midshipman, George Groom, Gavin Wilkinson, Francis Rice, John Runlet, Francis Francis, John Alford, and John Collins, wounded, and likely to recover. The prize lost all three of her masts, and was very much disabled. The Boston is much injured in her masts, spars, rigging, and sails which obliged Captain Little to return from his cruise to rest. We are informed, Captain Little has expressed in strong terms his approbation of the conduct of his officers and crew, during the action; and considered that it would be injustice to the commander of Le Berceau, not to state that he gallantly defended his ship as long as she was capable of making a defence.
La Berceau had been out from Cayenne, 25 days, during which she had plundered two American vessels, and made prize of one. On a former cruise, she had captured several Americans, and a great number of Portuguese ships from Brazil.
A variety of circumstances renders this capture of more importance than appears at the first blush. La Berceau is considered as one of the fastest sailing corvettes in the French navy; she served as a look out vessel to the French fleet for 18 months; has frequently been chased by the British cruisers, and was never overtaken; she has been very successful in capturing British, Portuguese, and American vessels, and was bound this cruise to intercept the American Indians, and South American ships. Captain Senes, has been post captain in the French navy for many years: and was midshipman in Count d'Estaings fleet, in this harbor. He has been in several engagements, and is esteemed a brave and intelligent officer.
The Berceau lost in the engagement her first lieutenant, master, boatwains, master gunner, and pilot, besides common men.
The Boston expended upwards of 2700 wt. of powder, above 1500 round shot,
besides double that number of chain, double headed, and grape, during the action.
The prize is now commanded by Lieutenant Haswell, first Lieutenant of the Boston.
The corvette measures 120 feet upon her gun deck, and nearly the width of the Boston.
Capt. Senes, and a commissioner who was in La Berceau, after being on board the Boston 15 days, were, at their request, permitted to go to Barbadoes on parole; they took passage in a vessel bound to that place.
Among the number of the killed on board of the Boston, it is a melancholy task imposed on us to insert the name of Mr. Samuel Young, the purser of the frigate, who served in the action as master of one of the quarter deck guns, and was wounded early in the engagement. On the abilities, and prospects of this spirited and intelligent young gentleman were reposed the pride and the hopes of his respectable connections, who reside in the town of Bridgewater in this state: most sincerely do we mingle our regrets with the tears of his family and friends. Of great youthful promise and literary ambition, he two years since entered on the profession of the law, and remained for some time a student in the office of Mr. Mitchell. His circumstances, however, not corresponding with his wishes, a thirst for independence and his own manly habits, pointed him to a life of more hazardous activity as the means of improving his situation. At the expiration of the present cruise it was his determination to return to the profession he had for a time relinquished, and in which the expectation of all allotted him a rank of honor and usefulness. With such views and such resolutions, the fate which has attended him, while it bears honorable testimony to his memory, will leave a dreary blank in the most wisely framed calculations of human foresight.

ALEXANDRIA, November 4.
It behoves every friend to virtue to contribute his influence to the complete suppression of gaming. The consequences attendant upon this vile practice every now and then shock the ear of humanity. A quarrel at a gaming table often ends in a duel and sometimes in murder. A melancholy instance of the latter happened in this town on Saturday night last.
A man by the name of John Longden (a cooper) sat down to play cards in company with several others. The whole company soon became inflamed with liquor: a quarrel ensued, which, after some time, terminated in Longden's receiving a wound from a knife which has since ended his existence. The knife penetrated the abdomen, about two inches below, and on the right side of the umbilicus. The intestinal canal was perforated in three places and slightly wounded in two. A considerable portion of the intestines protruded through the external wound; in it only one wound was discoverable; this was secured; & dissection after death exposed the latent mischief. [Times.]
The blood vessels of the intestines which were divided, poured out a great quantity of blood. As the man sunk under the loss of blood in the space of twenty hours, not a doubt remains, but that his death was the effect of the injury sustained by the wound.
Look at this ye practitioners of vice and blush for the consequence!—A jury of inquest have found a verdict of wilful murder. [Mirror.]
LAW OF KENTUCKY.
AN ACT
For granting relief to Settlers South of Green River.
Sec. 1. BE it enacted by the General Assembly that all monies now due and which shall hereafter become due for lands granted by this commonwealth, to settlers South of Green River, or their assigns, shall be paid in nine annual instalments; the first instalment whereof shall be paid on the first day of December, one thousand eight hundred and one, and the remaining instalments to be paid on the first day of December in every year thereafter, until the whole amount be fully paid, by paying five per cent per annum, simple interest from the first day of December 1800, on the whole or whatever part of the money may remain unpaid, until the whole shall be paid, and at the several periods, when the instalments are by this act directed to be paid into the public treasury, the whole of the interest then due on each instalment, shall also be paid, calculating the interest due thereon from the first day of December, 1800, any law or laws to the contrary
notwithstanding. Provided, that nothing in this act contained shall be so construed as to prevent any settler who may have acquired a certificate for lands under the laws granting relief to settlers on the South side of Green River, or his assigns, from making payment for the same agreeably to the mode pointed out by the act entitled "an act allowing settlers south of Green River to pay the money due to the state in equal annual instalments, and for other purposes," or from paying the whole of their instalments with interest thereon, at any time previous to their becoming due.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, that the further time of twelve months from the passing of this act be allowed to all persons or their assigns, who through mistake, have obtained certificates for settlements, the whole or any part of which may have been formed on military claims, to locate at their option, either the whole quantity of ground for which certificate was granted, or any part thereof, which may be so lost, on any land on the south side of Green River not at the time of the said entry or removal being made, legally appropriated or entered for by any other person or body politic or incorporate, or actually settled on and occupied, with two hundred acres including such settlement; an entry for the land to be made with the surveyor of the county in which the land lies: Provided however, that any such person shall make it appear that he has so settled himself on military or other claims; and shall moreover produce a certificate from such court to the surveyor of the county to the above effect; and shall file in his office a relinquishment of the land from which the claim is removed, or a certified copy of such relinquishment, signed by the surveyor of the county where the same shall be made, before such surveyor shall admit an entry for lands thus claimed. Provided, that no claim thus removed shall include any salt spring or lick but such claim so removed shall be subject to the same restrictions, rules and regulations as have been heretofore prescribed and made by the act entitled, "an act granting relief to settlers south of Green River."
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, that the further time of two years from the end of the present session of the general assembly, is hereby allowed to all persons who have obtained certificates for settlement on the south side of Green river, or their assigns, to enter and survey the same and return the platts and certificates of survey thereof to the register's office.
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, that where any person may have obtained a certificate for a less quantity than one hundred acres, on account of said settlement being so bounded by other and earlier claims as not to admit of a larger quantity; or where any person has removed or shall hereafter remove his claim off a military or other better claim, to a place where he may not be able on account of the contiguity of other prior claims, to procure one hundred acres, such person shall be entitled to such smaller quantity any law to the contrary notwithstanding, under the same rules and regulations which are prescribed for other settlers.
Sec. 5. And whereas doubts have arisen whether the register is authorized to issue grants for lands south of Green river to persons who have appropriated the same by means of the legal removal of a claim or claims from ground for which they had previously obtained a grant or grants: Therefore, be it enacted by the general assembly, that the register shall issue grants upon the platts and certificates of survey of such lands on receiving from the surveyor of the county, where the same may be, a certificate that the relinquishment of the claimant to the land removed from or a certified copy thereof is filed in his office; and the register shall note such relinquishment in the margin of his record book opposite, to the record of the grant, the whole or part of which shall have been relinquished. Nothing in this act shall be so construed as to authorize the register to issue a grant to any settler or his assigns until the whole of the state price of the land for which such grant is required shall have been paid.

THE SUBSCRIBERS HAVE the satisfaction of informing their customers and others, that in consequence of an arrangement made by JOHN JORDAN Jun. they will be enabled to purchase the following articles of produce this season, viz.
HEMP, WHEAT, FLOUR, AND TOBACCO,
For which they will give such prices as their present engagements and prospect will justify, which they hope will be found as liberal as any.
But as they have undertaken this business, with prospects indeed, too trifling even to compensate them for their services, they hope at least, to meet with better encouragement than what has heretofore been allotted by the Planters and Farmers of this state, to those who exported their Produce, and that a proper distinction will be made in favor of them, who, at all times have exerted themselves to embrace every opportunity of serving the Planters, &c.
It is with the utmost reluctance they take notice of an incontrovertible truth, that so far from meeting the encouragement due their exertions, they have hitherto had the mortification to find that a preference was at all times given (unless when payment was made in produce) to others, who sold for cash only —in consequence of which, they had determined to pursue the same system of Commerce that is now so loudly complained of by the Citizens at large, so long at least, until their competitors should either be obliged to undergo the same risk and trouble, or the Farmer and Planter take a more extensive view of his real interest—but being anxious to avoid their proportion of general censure, and to make their occupation as useful as possible, they have once more receded from their resolution, determined to purchase the productions of the soil, and trust to the liberality of the Farmer and Planter, to obviate those complaints in future.
The conditions on which they intend to take produce, are, the Cash Prices of the several articles—In return, they will continue to sell their goods at their usual low prices, for Cash or Produce. Those who may have more Produce than would be convenient for them to take in Goods, shall receive Cash, by allowing a reasonable credit, but no payments will be made either in Goods or Cash, until the delivery of the articles, and it is further expected that none will solicit an advance, as it is impossible for them (in consequence of the numerous disappointments heretofore experienced) either to discriminate, or to deviate from this rule.
JOHN A SEITZ, JOHN JORDAN Jun. & Co.
N. B. By the above arrangements there can be no cause for suspecting us of selling higher, and consequently we flatter ourselves with a continuance of the custom of those who shall wish to purchase for Cash.
GOOD NEWS.
I AM a neat Taylor, my charges are low, Which I am desirous the public should know; A neat suit of clothes, for Three Dollars, I make, When the clothes are deliver'd, the money I take; To ev'ry one punctual, who doth me employ, Of those who have tried me, not one will deny— On Main Street, in Lexington, now I abide, Next door to Brent's Tavern, and on the same side.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
A TRICK WORTH TWO OF THAT.
WHEN Lubin first with cunning care, Attempted Phoebe to initiate, In language sweet, His tongue so fleet, Display'd her beauties fine and pat; She shook her head, And coyly said, I know a trick worth two of that.
Come, let me press thee in my arms, And let us taste of love's best charms; He try'd again, But all in vain— She sternly said, I'll tell you what, 'Tis false in you, 'Twill never do, I know a trick worth two of that.
But, lovely Phoebe, be not coy, My life, my love, my hope, my joy; For at the fare, I'll treat thee there, I'll buy my Phoebe gay, a hat; Ah! Lubin, now You're false, I vow, I know a trick worth two of that.
No by the God of love, I swear, 'Tis you alone my heart shall share, My ardent love You now may prove, No longer here in dalliance chat— No, no, young man, That's not my plan, I know a trick worth two of that.
Should I consent to your embrace, 'Twould be an endless, vile disgrace; Besides you know, It happens so, That nine months hence there comes a And when that's o'er, Would you adore? You know a trick worth two of that.
Then cease to attempt a harmless maid; Who ne'er from virtue's precepts stray'd; Your treat is mean, Your arts are seen, So take your answer plain and flat; I'll ne'er descend To such an end— I know a trick worth two of that.
Come then, Phoebe, come and prove, The blameless joys of virtuous love; To church repair, I'll meet you there, Before the parson, grave and fat— O then said she, I will agree, That trick will be worth two of that.
ANECDOTE.
A witness at the Old Bailey was buffeting it (as they say of those who swear what ever is necessary) when the judge asked him—"Pray, what profession are you?"—"In the periodical line , my Lord."—"Then, if you don't take care, young man, (said his Lordship) you'll very shortly be in the perpendicular line ."
