PORTLAND GAZETTE, AND MAINE ADVERTISER.
No. 14, OF VOL. VIII.
PORTLAND (MAINE) TUESDAY, JULY 23, 1805.
109th No. 378.
To the Public.
THE Editors deem it respectful to address their readers and patrons, with an avowal of the principles, which will govern in conducting the PORTLAND GAZETTE.
It has been universally allowed, that the freedom of the press, and the general extension of knowledge, is of the first importance to maintain a republican form of government; and as these objects are well or ill conducted, all civilized society will finally be supported, or overthrown.
Holding ourselves responsible for the contents of the Gazette, and considering our own interest inseparable from that of the community, it will be our constant endeavour to conduct our paper in such a manner, as to merit the approbation of the friends of good order, and rational liberty.
The constitution of the United States is justly considered as the palladium of our rights; and an adherence to the principles and measures of the illustrious WASHINGTON, and his wife and virtuous coadjutors who assisted in the formation and administration of our government, we consider as the only means to preserve the union, honour, happiness and prosperity of our country.
The politics of the Gazette will be decidedly federal. It is presumed no one will question the necessity, in a free government, where all power is derived from the people, of animadverting upon the principles of public men, and the tendency of their measures; but in the exercise of this right, a regard for our own reputation will not suffer us to lose sight of truth and decency.
Private character ought ever to be held sacred; on no occasion shall we admit that, which may wound the feelings or injure the good name of any.
It is a political maxim, tested by the experience of ages, that without a reverence for the Supreme Being, & uniform practice of religious and moral duties, no government can no government can nor will long exist; - and as friends of Religion, as well as Political toleration, we hope for the support of all denominations of Christians.
No exertions will be spared, to obtain the earliest and most correct foreign intelligence, whether of a political or commercial nature, so far as may be of importance to our readers - but domestic information, will claim the largest share of our attention.
At a time like the present, when such opinions are gaining ground as have a direct tendency to render life, liberty, and property insecure; when party intolerance threatens to deprive virtue and talents of all confidence and respect - silence would be censured as a crime; it is necessary that the understanding rather than the passions of the people should be addressed.
To enable us to prosecute our work with effect, we solicit the aid and assistance of all those who from principle value the existence of our excellent republican institutions.
From men of talents and leisure we request communications. Relying on the public for patronage with a steady undeviating hand, we shall endeavour to present our readers with whatever may tend to support good government, to inculcate a respect for religion, or promote the practice of the social virtues.
With a sincere belief that our cause is just, and will prevail,
We are, the public's most obedient and very humble servants, ISAAC ADAMS, WILLIAM JENKS, JUN.

THE NEWSPAPER.
[From a late European Publication.]
'TIS truth, with deference to the College, Newspapers are the springs of knowledge; The general source throughout the nation, Of ev'ry modern conversation. What would this mighty people do, If there, alas! was nothing new.
A newspaper is like a feast, Some dish affords for every guest; Some large, some small, some stout, some tender, For every stomach, stout or slender. Those who roast beef and wine delight in, Are pleas'd with trumpets, drums, and fighting, For those who are more lightly made, Are arts, and sciences and trade. For fanciful and amorous blood, We have a soft poetic food. For witty and satyric folks, High-season'd attic salted jokes; And when we strive to please the mob, A loaf - a sermon - or a job. If any gem'man wants a wife, (A partner, as 'tis term'd, for life,) An advertisement answers well, And quickly brings the pretty belle.
If you want health consult our pages; You shall be well, and live for ages; Our empties, in search of bread, Do every thing but raise the dead.
Lands may be had, if they are wanted; Houses purchased, or rented! Ships - shops of ev'ry shape and form, Horses, servants, coaches, swam; No matter whether good or bad, We tell you where they may be had.
Our services we can't express, The good we do you hardly guess; There's not a want of human kind, But we a remedy can find.
Mr. Hopkins' Oration.
The following extract, is taken from an Oration, delivered by James D. Hopkins, Esq. in this town, at the late celebration of the anniversary of American Independence: - After giving a short history of the Washington and Adams administrations, he has the following pertinent observations.
Shall we not, then, for our public blessings for all our national prosperity, own our obligations to the federal administration? ... Or is public gratitude entombed with the ashes of our Washington?
They were the same principles, which established the federal constitution, and raised the fallen fabric of our national respectability, which now call upon the friends of virtue, and good government, to check the demoralizing progress of political error. Americans! it is a solemn call. The anti-federalists, though defeated, were not subdued. Aided by the wicked arts, falsehood, hypocrisy, and slander, they have gained in influence, and increased in numbers, to a degree which threatens the subversion of our rights and liberties, and the dissolution of our independence. Upon every important national question, the journals of Congress exhibit the strength of hostility to sound principles, from 1791 to the present day. And had we lost the recollection of recent wants, we should there
find incontestible proof, that the dominant party in our country is the same faction, which unsuccessfully opposed our constitution. Uniform, and constant has been their opposition to the principles of that system of policy, which is the sublimest effort of human wisdom, and man's last hope of a free republican government.
Carefully to preserve the precious fragments of our constitution, which remain, let no modern philosopher, or reviler of Washington be elected to office. Bestow your confidence on those who merit, and not on those who seek popularity. Manfully assert your rights of inquiry into the public conduct of your rulers. Cherish the principle, that the executive and judicial branches of government must be independent, and mutual checks upon each other, as you would avoid the despotism, which the too prevalent principles in our country, have already established in France. Encourage education, and disseminate useful knowledge. Support moral and religious obligation against the pernicious doctrines of modern philosophy. On every important public measure, let us recur to first principles in government; ... this, like the miraculous pillar which conducted Israel of old, will lead us, through the paths of danger, to political safety, and national happiness.
No cause can long be supported unless founded upon the principles of truth and justice: - The political situation of Pennsylvania, affords evidence of the truth of this observation. The democrats having obtained a majority in the government, over the federalists "in the full tide of successful experiment," they expected soon to arrive at a kind of political millennium - but having commenced the holy work of revolutionizing they find it no easy matter to check its progress. To show the views of the two parties we shall publish the proceedings of each.
Republican Meeting.
Derry township, Northumberland county - June 8.
A respectable number of the democratic republicans of Derry township, on previous notice being given, assembled at the house of Capt. A. ... at the house of Samuel Hutchinson being chosen President, and John Russel, Secretary.
The following resolutions were unanimously adopted.
1. Resolved, That the existing constitution of Pennsylvania invests too much power, in the Executive; because when he can procure, one third of the Senate to coincide with him, in his political tenets, even if they were ever absurd or prejudicial to the interest, of the people. He, by his royal negative, can control the whole House of Representatives and the other two thirds of the Senate, which, in our opinion, is absurd in the extreme.
2. Resolved, That the power of the constitution given him in the appointment of so many men, to fill offices of honour and profit, further increases his influence, thereby rendering him more dangerous, to the independence, liberty and equality of the people.
3. Resolved, That Thomas M'Kean, the present Governor of Pennsylvania, has by his unprecedented number of negatives, his liberal abuse bestowed on citizens who signed a petition in favour of the call of a convention, and the abusive language given to the people's Representatives, forfeited all the confidence ever this meeting reposed in him.
4. Resolved, that this meeting will support Simon Snyder for governor on the 2d Tuesday in October next.
5. Resolved, That the present constitution establishes the judiciary paramount to, and independent of, the people, as has been fully exemplified in the issue of the impeachment exhibited against the judges of the supreme court.
6. Resolved That the tenure of office of Senators is too long and that they ought to be made to pass before the ordeal of the people annually.
6. Resolved, that this meeting will use every lawful means in their power to have a convention called to amend the constitution in the several cases aforesaid.
8. Resolved, That John Binns the editor of the "Republican Argus" deserves well of his country, for his manly adherence to true republican principles, notwithstanding the base aspersions, false calumnies, and hell-fetched inuendoes, so profusely dealt against
him, by his implacable enemies in the columns of the "Sunbury and Northumberland Gazette."
9. Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be published in the Republican Argus. Signed by order of the meeting, S. HUTCHINSON, President. JOHN RUSSEL, Sec'y. [Aurora.]
In pursuance of a request of the Constitutional Republican Committee of the borough of Lancaster, a meeting of delegates from a number of townships, with said committee, was held at the court-house in said borough, on Saturday the 1st of June. - CONRAD SCHWARTZ, was appointed Chairman, and CASPER SHAFFNER, jun. Secretary, when the following resolutions were unanimously adopted:
First - That we view with serious alarm the attempts of a new party generated by the insidious artifice of a public print, at present avowedly hostile to the constitution of the commonwealth, and by the disaffection of a few rapacious office-hunters and ambitious demagogues to hurl destruction at the charter of our rights, and humble in duff and also the present Chief Magistrate of Pennsylvania, whose crime appears to have been a firmness of mind which would sooner risk his popularity than give his assent to the visionary schemes of inexperienced castle builders, and whose patriotism spurned at the idea of purchasing popularity at the expence of his integrity.
Second - That we will use every honest exertion in support of the constitution under which we have for a period of fifteen years enjoyed an unparalleled degree of political happiness and security, and that we will support THOMAS M'KEAN with our votes and interest at the ensuing election for the office of GOVERNOR of this commonwealth.
Third - That we disapprove of the measures pursued by a faction in the last Legislature who not content with the duties assigned them by their constituents, have by their nefarious proceedings disturbed the harmony of the state, have prescribed the Executive Magistrate, and have made a report, - such men we declare to be unworthy of the public confidence.
Fourth - That in making a selection of candidates to represent us at the next General Assembly we will endeavour to fix upon such republican characters, to whom we can with safety commit the precious guardianship of our political prosperity.
Fifth - That it be recommended to the constitutional Republicans of the county, to meet at their respectable places of election on Saturday the 10th day of August next, and appoint two delegates from each township to meet a delegation from the borough, at the house of Joseph Jeffries, on Wednesday the 14th day of the same month, in order to form a ticket for the next general election.
Sixth - That it be recommended to the citizens in the different townships respectively, who are opposed to the call of a convention to exert themselves in procuring signatures to the memorial in favour of the present constitution, which may be presented for that purpose, and that they may be careful of the same in order that they may be presented to the next Legislature.
Seventh - That the proceedings of this meeting be signed by the Chairman and Secretary, and published in the English and German newspapers of this borough every two weeks until the day of the meeting of delegates for the purpose of fixing a ticket.
CONRAD SCHWARTZ Chairman. CASPER SHAFFNER, jun. Sec'y. (Lancaster Journal)
Counterfeiters - Were apprehended at Barre, (Vt.) and committed to goal, on the 2d inst. Samuel Spring and Russell Underwood, on suspicion of counterfeiting Bank bills of various descriptions. The former had with him bills of the following bank, some extremely well executed and others badly, viz. 10 and 5 dollar bills of New Hampshire bank; 5 dollar bills of Maine bank; 3 dollar bills of Rhode Island Union bank; 6 dollar bills of Philadelphia Exchange bank signed a Throop; and a 5 dollar bill of Cheshire bank. It is said they are old offenders.
Three or four French privateers continue cruising off Charles-Town harbour; and one is off New-York.

To the Electors of Massachusetts.
FELLOW CITIZENS,
ONCE more has a majority of your suffrages placed at the head of this Commonwealth a man, whose stability and firmness as well as patriotism you have long experienced and whose sole aim has been yours and your country's happiness. He spent much of his time in advocating your cause in the revolution, and for many years after distinguished himself in your councils to the honor of himself and the satisfaction of his constituents; at that period few were the men in Massachusetts, who dared to revile a character devoted to the best interests of its country, nor then until infected by the influence of a few ambitious and ill-designing men acting as agents from the then French republic. After the governor's chair was vacated by the death of his worthy predecessor, the eyes of the public were fixed upon our present worthy Chief Magistrate, as a man eminently qualified to take charge of the best of governments as well as capable of preserving to Massachusetts that honor and rank to which she is entitled for being the first to assert, and would to God, I could say the bids fair to be the last to maintain her rights; under these considerations she was called upon by you, independent electors of Massachusetts, to preside in your councils, who are no less conspicuous for the wisdom of your choice, than the character, whom you have designated, is for his eminent qualifications; such is the man, whom Massachusetts delighteth to honor; in him the public confidence has been intrusted, and every year's return of votes is a proof that your confidence has not been misplaced.
Where is the state that enjoys more salutary laws than Massachusetts? — or in which justice is more impartially administered? — And yet a change requested! — And why? Because say they, variety is pleasing, and gov. Strong has been governor long enough, and we want something new! — This is the pitiful excuse, and will you freemen of Massachusetts, who have reelected gov. Strong to be your Chief Magistrate on account of the many services he has done you and your country, besides his eminent qualifications for the office, suffer him to be neglected in future for his punctilious adherence to the same for which you first elected him? — No, fellow citizens, such of you as have given him your support and stood by him to the last, will at a future day, when anarchy and discord in their horrid form shall rend the state and party into parties split, appeal to your country for your innocence of the innovation introduced into the state.
The histories of antient Greece and Rome, which are the only existing proofs that there ever were such republics, exhibit to our view the sad fatality of innovation upon Government. Sad as the recital of these histories may be to any American, still more so must the effects of innovations be, when they are visible already in some of our States. Pennsylvania and New-York have already felt their effects, especially the former, in which has long prevailed what has been termed genuine republicanism; and there have renegades and foreign hirelings inflamed the people until they themselves have no command over them. It was in their power to inflame, but not to quench; the flame is now enkindled, and where it will end is uncertain, better had it been for you O Americans, if you had never gained your liberty, than having gained be unable to keep it, and what is worse, be destroyed by one another; curses are now imprecated on those, who not long since were so extolled in the public prints, that one, otherwise unacquainted with them, would think something more than mortal belonged them, and that too by the very persons who palmed them upon the public, many, and too many, have trusted wholly to newspapers and have been grossly deceived. — You freemen of Massachusetts have long experienced the mild administration of Gov. Strong, yet there are profligate presses in this State, whose conductors tell you notwithstanding your experience to the contrary, that he is an old tory and a monarchist, why this insult upon your understanding? Why not leave you to choose such an one as you think deserving and capable of ruling from your past experience of his conduct.
They tell you this state is governed by an aristocratic junto; here follows another insult upon your understanding; are not you as capable as they of distinguishing aristocracy in an administration of four or five years? In what particular do they feel the effect of aristocracy in this State, that you do not? Are they not under the same regulations and subject to the same laws? There is no exemption to particular men nor to particular ranks of men, what is there in this State that wears the features of aristocracy, that is not to be found in the enlightened State of Pennsylvania which has long been noted for her genuine republicanism.
Such are the dreadful effects of democracy when fanned by foreign incendiaries or innate foes, who in pretence of watching the liberties of the people, seek nothing but their own aggrandizement, that the people know not with whom they can trust their public concerns with safety, and ever jealous of their rights as they ought to be, though not in too great a degree, are ready to believe that they are governed with a rod of iron if any one has the impudence to tell them so. America has long been progressing slowly in that road, which has proved the destruction of all Governments like hers, and of late has marched with unusual rapid strides, apparently regardless of her approaching destiny. Although my hopes for her future glory are as great as can be entertained in the human breast, yet with anguish of heart do I say it, — they are exceeded by my fears, that America like France, after having for a few years suffered internal commotions, assassinations and removals of her best men, will sit down tamely, being exhausted and suffer the chain to be riveted on whenever any usurper more ambitious than the rest shall feel disposed to take advantage of her situation, and thus terminate the only existing, and add one more to the long list of fallen republics, whose histories will exhibit to posterity a lasting proof of the pernicious effects of fostering and supporting ambitious men. That Massachusetts may continue as she began firm in a good cause, is the prayer of one devoted to her service. ARISTIDES.
Cambridge, July, 1805.
The following obituary notice, of the late decease of the Political Calendar, a democratic Paper, is from the Newburyport Herald
Obituary Notice, Extra. — Departed this transitional life, on Monday the first inst. At. 1 year 3 months and 5 days, Miss Political Calendar. — She died of a complication of disorders; at the time of her mother's accouchement with this hopeful bantling a nurse was provided from the wilds of New Hampshire; but she not being skillful in her profession, suffered the little thing to take a violent cold in the damp air of a Paper-Mill, when a jury of doctors were assembled, who recommended, as a quickening stimulation '800 drops' of a comforting decoction; but finding none to satisfy the demands of the apothecary for this prescription it was not administered, so that Miss soon fell into a violent fever, and at times was extremely delirious; she continued in this state till the nurse having a misunderstanding with the doctors, left her, the care of whom they devolved on one who kept her alive, though in a weakly condition, till about fifteen or twenty days since, when she was struck with the numb palsy, and one half of the little innocent expired without a groan. — In this situation she remained (although a remedy was said to have arrived as far as Salem) till the first of July, when she died not for want of breath but for lack of nourishment.

NEW-YORK, JULY 12.
American Naval News — It appears that the British have recaptured from the Spanish the store ship, which government had dispatched on the way to our fleet in the Mediterranean.
It appears that the cargo of the merchant ship lately taken by a French privateer, off Charleston, was worth 500,000 dollars, and that the amount of duties on that sum would have more than built an armed vessel of force sufficient to have protected her from this most lawless and insulting outrage.
It appears that the President's gun-boats are yet too much in infancy to do any service; but if their size should grow with their age, it is hoped they may yet live to take the form of frigates. — Meanwhile Mr. Jefferson is a guardian proper enough. — Fredericktown Herald.
DEDHAM, JULY 16.
REMARKABLE SUICIDE.
WE seldom have to record a more truly singular and distressing event, of the effect of passion in youth, than the following: On Friday last, AVERY HARLOW, only 12 years of age, whose parents are called respectable, living in Sharron, had returned from an errand, when his father chastised him, in a gentle manner, for his loitering. He was then bid by his father to go with a horse to pasture, about three quarters of a mile distant. — As he was going, he was heard to say by one of the smaller children, that he never would come home, or come back again. This exclamation was unknown to his parents till he had been gone considerable longer than was necessary to have gone that distance. They were then informed by the child what he had said when he went away. But they, supposing it was but a natural fit of obstinacy, and that he went merely to alarm them, in retaliation for his punishment, did not immediately pursue him. After waiting sometime for his return, they went to the pasture, near
which he had tied the horse; and, near by, horrid to relate! they found their son hanging on a tree entirely dead! — He had pealed with his teeth a long strip of bark from a hickory, which being at one end too large to tie, he very curiously had made it fast over a limb above 12 feet from the ground, by tying down the end with a few smaller pieces. A complete noose was about his neck. His father cut him from the tree, and attempts were made to resuscitate him by a physician, but to no purpose. We understand the verdict of the jury is — that he put an end to his own life, thro' want of reason and reflection, in the heat of passion.
National Bank Trembling!! — The enlightened legislature of New-Hampshire, by an act passed June 14, 1805, have annexed a penalty of twenty Dollars, to be recovered by indictment, upon a person who shall, after the first day of August next, issue or pass any note, bill, order or check of the bank of the United States!
Portland,
TUESDAY JULY 23, 1805.
We have received no accounts from Europe or the West Indies, of a later date than those received last week. — It appears that the French and Spanish combined fleets left the West Indies, for Europe, about the 7th of June; and that Lord Nelson, had not been attended with his usual good fortune in not being able to come up with them.
The GAZETTE will in future be published every Monday, at the Printing Office, No. 7, Fifth Street, Portland, where subscriptions, advertisements, and communications, are received, with attention.
The Gazette, having the most extensive circulation of any paper in the District of Maine, it will be found peculiarly advantageous for our advertising friends.
Arrangements are made for publishing, in a short time, the Gazette, upon paper of a superior quality, and with a new type.
All those, who, at present take the Gazette, will be considered as continuing their subscriptions, unless they signify to the contrary. EDITORS.
THEATRE. — Last evening, the popular drama of the Voice of Nature, with the pleasing farce of Raising the Wind, were represented with much ability to a numerous and respectable audience. — We are happy to observe, that the attention of the manager, and the improvement of the company, promise much rational amusement to the friends of the drama. — The Wife of Two Husbands, advertised for tomorrow evening, is a comedy much merit; and was performed in Boston, the last season, a number of nights, with great applause.
INTERESTING.
The Hon. JOHN PHILLIPS, JUS. ESQ. of Andover has presented an excellent BELL to Fryeburg Academy. — It is a fortunate circumstance, that in the infant State of literature in this country, there are those, who possess the means and inclination to contribute to the promotion of knowledge and virtue. While this act of generosity is honorable and useful to the institution it reflects new lustre on the family name of the donor, and will endure his, and the memory of his ancestors to the friends of literature and literary institutions. — Editors, who feel interested in the promotion of Science, will give publicity to this truly meritorious munificence.
INDEPENDENCE.
The Independence of America, was celebrated by the Federalists of Bangor, and Orington, with splendor unequalled in the place — with the rising Sun the Stars of America ascended a lofty Pine, fixed by Nature on an eminence suitable to display the flag of a Free People. — At one o'clock, the Company met at Greenleaf's hall, and after the usual preparations partook of an elegant dinner — Wit rebounded from side to side, and Pleasure beamed in every countenance.
After dinner the following Toasts were drank; — the Music given in a fine style, and the Cheers came from the Heart:
 1. The day we celebrate — As Christmas to Christians, so let the Political birthday of our nation be to us a jubilee. Enth Columbia.  2. The Federal Constitution — As its Framers left it. Adams and Liberty.  3. The American Navy — The only security for our Fleeting Property. Franklin's Victory.  4. The Militia — may they always be made ready, but never have occasion to Fire. Washington's March.  5. Political Health to Americans. A speedy and favorable crisis to the Fever of the South, which has made such violent attacks on Northern Constitution. In Clouds when Storms obscure the Sky.  6. Agriculture — Man's First, Best Employment. Green Mountain Farmer.  7. Navigation is the Waggon that carries our produce to market — may it never lose a Wheel. Ode to Science.  8. The Arts and Sciences. Ode to Science.  9. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts — First born of Freedom. May she never forget her Birth Right. Three Cheers.  10. Governor Strong, the Patriot without pretensions May the Pretenders without Patriotism, never supplant him. Three times Three Cheers.  11. The New Philosophy — May its curses rest on the deceiver, not the deceived. Co Ira.  12. The Clergy — Religion without hypocrisy — Public Virtue without private Vice  13. Matthew Lyon — May the roaring of the Great Beast awaken the snarler. Vicar of Bray.  14. Civil Liberty — The choicest Boon of bounteous heaven. Hail American.  15. Judiciary — The main Pillar of Liberty. — May it never be subject to the caprice of demagogues.  16. The American Fair — May our Valour, equal their Beauty.  17. The District of Maine — May the Pines of her Forests, transplanted in the Ocean bear the Flag of America triumphant round the Globe. Three times Three Cheers. From the East breaks the Morn.

PATENT MEDICINES.  IMPROVED JAUNDICE BITTERS, or the Grand Anti-Bilious Corrective—Prepared by David Dennison, at his Dispensary, No. 231, Oxford Road, London. Under the patronage of the first Physicians in Europe and America.
THIS preparation combines all the good qualities of every medicine of the kind ever offered to the public; the botanical characters of the ingredients, of which it is composed, has long attracted the notice of the faculty, and under various formulas unequivocally received the undivided sanction of successful experiment. It is greatly antiseptic and particularly effectual in correcting and preventing the putridity of bile; it has also been employed with great success, in very dangerous epidemic fevers. It not only cleanses the prima viæ, but likewise gently warms the habit and quickens circulation, is particularly serviceable in habitual costiveness, in cases of phlegmatic temperament and sedentary life, when the stomach is oppressed and weakened. This elegant bitter may be successfully applied to answer almost every purpose, particularly in loss of appetite, when the stomach is foul and disorder by irregularities; the secretions are gently promoted, and a plentiful perspiration produced; in complaints of the jaundice this remedy is unqualified; the stomach is fortified and strengthened, and digestion effectually promoted; such a medicine is useful at all seasons, but particularly in the spring, by removing those sleepy melancholy sensations so unpleasant to the patient; the natural consequences of the approach of warm weather, upon bilious habits.—Price 2s. per Box.
WHEATON'S JAUNDICE BITTERS. THE successful effects of which have been fully experienced, in correcting and carrying off jaundice and bilious matter from the stomach; and at the same time strengthening the stomach, increasing the appetite, and removing the sinking, faint, distressed feeling, and the sleepy dull heaviness; restoring also, strength to the weak and trembling limbs; removing the yellowness of countenance common to jaundice and weakly people; and also the dizziness of the head, & weakness of light. They are very useful for seamen to take often when at sea, particularly in warm climates, as a preservative against disorders so incident to such climates (which are generally putrid and bilious) by removing obstructions, carrying off bile and giving a free circulation to the blood.—Price 2s. per box.
WHEATON'S ITCH OINTMENT, A safe and efficacious remedy for the ITCH—Price 2s. per box.
DEXTER'S RHEUMATIC PILLS, For the cure of Rheumatism, Rheumatic Gout, and Bilious Disorders. HAVE, by much experience, been found a valuable and efficacious Medicine, and are recommended to the public, as an effectual remedy to counteract the dangerous effects of common Colds on the system—to remove obfuscated perspirable matter, and acrid and corrosive Humours, which cause Rheumatism, Rheumatic Gout, Pains and Swellings in the Joints and Limbs—Cough, Asthma, &c. They are also particularly serviceable in removing Bilious and other obstructions from the Stomach and Bowels—are an excellent Medicine to obviate or check a bilious or yellow Fever at its commencement, by powerfully expelling bilious, morbid, and putrescent obstructions through the cutaneous pores. They remove windy oppressions and cholicky pains in the stomach and bowels—eruptures from the face and skin—sweeten and purify the blood, and quicken its circulation—procure a sweetness of the breath and a good appetite, by strengthening the digestive faculties—Many ailments might be produced, showing the superior efficacy of the above pills—but, as the character which they have or may acquire is the best criterion by which the public can judge, they are omitted.—Price 2s. per box.
