EPITAPH FROM THE GREEK.
BY COWPER.
My name, my country, what are they to thee? What whether pale or proud my pedigree? Perhaps I far surpass all other men, Perhaps I feel below them all—what then? Suffice it, stranger that thou see'st a tomb: Thou know'st its use, it hides—no matter whom!
The Hon. A. Henderson, one of the representatives in the late Congress, from the state of North-Carolina, having declined another election, a number of his constituents have presented him the following Address expressive of the respect and esteem in which they hold his character, and the sense they entertain of the ability and integrity with which he discharged the duties of his trust.
[Gaz. U. S.]
THE ADDRESS.
To the Hon. ARCHIBALD HENDERSON, late Representative of the district composed of the counties of Rowan, Fredell, Mecklenburg, Cabarrus and Montgomery, in the Congress of the United States—
TO a Patriot, the most grateful reward is the approbation of his constituents; we think it our duty as your constituents, thus to reward you. Your virtuous and dignified exertions for the respectability and happiness of your country, and for the support of its inestimable constitution, make that duty agreeable to us, whilst it is but justice to you.
We, therefore, in the plain undigested language of freemen, declare, that your conduct during the four years which you have devoted to our service in the Supreme Legislature, commands our unlimited approbation; and for ourselves and our common country, we sincerely lament that the more immediately forcible private obligations to your family, should deprive us, and it of the further benefit of your talents and virtues at this eventful period—we congratulate you on the confidence which those virtues and talents have established in the minds of the wise and good—and cordially wish you that uninterrupted peace and happiness in your retirement, which dignified Virtue merits.
THE ANSWER.
With you Gentlemen, I think that the most grateful reward which can be offered to a Representative, is the approbation of his constituents. It is unnecessary to add, that I received this testimonial of your approbation of my political conduct, with the most heartfelt pleasure.
The four years which I have had the honor to serve you in the Supreme councils of the nation, will form a memorable epoch in the history of American affairs.
During this period, the administration of the government passed from those, who by their efforts, and their struggles, their care and their energy, their wisdom and their perseverance, gave character and credit to the nation at home and abroad, into the hands of those who were not only unfriendly to our constitution, but had carried on unceasing hostility to all the great measures adopted and pursued by their predecessors in power. I am free to declare that in my opinion the policy which now directs the government will eventuate neither in its interest, honor nor dignity. Impressed with this belief, I have thought it my duty to oppose it, and cannot but feel myself happy in meeting your concurrence.
Nothing which has been done by the present rulers, excited so much alarm as the act to repeal the Judicial Establishment. It was not believed that a majority of Congress, whether from design or error, would have lent their aid to a palpable violation of the national compact in that article which of all others is the most essential to the efficiency and stability of government, to the security of property, to the safety and liberty of persons. When it was found that this breach was seriously contemplated, the Federalists thought it their duty to make a stand to save the constitution, the victory of the majority was complete, and they have triumphed over the liberties of the people; for I seriously believe, that, if the construction given by them to the constitution to prevail, there is no political liberty in the United States.
I pray you, Gentlemen, to accept my sincere acknowledgments, for this your friendly attention, and be assured I reciprocate your wishes for peace and happiness.
A. HENDERSON.
Salisbury, May 20, 1803.
MR. ERSKINE.
The following declaration, of Mr. Erskine, in a speech on the rights of juries, deserves the attention and imitation of all: "It was the first command" said he, "and council of my youth, always to do what my conscience told me to be my duty, and to leave the consequences to God. I shall carry with me the memory, and I hope the practice of this parental lesson to the grave. I have hitherto followed it, and have no reason to complain that the adherence to it, has been even a temporal sacrifice. I have found it on the contrary the road to prosperity and wealth, and I shall point it out to my children."

Latest from Europe.
[On Thursday last we issued the following intelligence in a Handbill; but as many of our subscribers did not receive it, we are induced to republish the same in this day's Gazette.]
(COPY OF THE HAND BILL.)
Jenk's Portland Gazette Office. Thursday, June 30, 1803.
Knowing the anxiety of the public, on the interesting subject of a renewed war in Europe, we cannot but be attentive to seek after and communicate every information that may prove in the least degree satisfactory.—By the arrival this morning of the ship Eliza, Capt. SALTER, 39 days from Liverpool, letters have been received to the 19th ult. containing the following important information.—Capt. S. brought no papers.
The following Message was received per the Eliza, by Messrs. M c Lean & Brown, merchants of this place, in a letter dated Liverpool, May 18, 1803. which says "The importance of the Communication to Parliament, of which we have just received the intelligence, induces us to lose no time in transmitting it to you."
Message of the King to Parliament.
His Majesty thinks it proper to acquaint the House of Commons, that the discussions which he announced to them in his Message of the 8th March last, as then subsisting between him and the French Government, have obliged his Majesty to recall his Ambassador from Paris, and that the Ambassador of the French Government has left London. His Majesty has given directions to lay before the House of Commons, with as little delay as possible, such papers as will afford the fullest information to his Parliament at this important conjuncture. It is a consolation to his Majesty to reflect, that no endeavours have been wanting on his part, to preserve to his subjects the blessings of peace, but under the circumstances which have occurred to disappoint his just expectations, his Majesty relies with confidence on the zeal and public spirit of his faithful Commons, and in the exertions of his brave and loyal subjects, to support him in his determination to employ the power and resources of the nation, in opposing the spirit of ambition and encroachment which at present actuates the councils of France, in upholding the dignity of his crown, and in asserting and maintaining the rights and interests of his people.
ONE DAY LATER.
Extract of a letter from a respectable house in Liverpool, to a gentleman in this town, dated MAY 19, 1803.
"The renewal of war with France is just decided on. The respective ambassadors are on their way home. Letters of marque and reprisal against the French are now issuing; and our channel fleet was to sail on the 16th. It is therefore supposed, that hostilities have actually commenced."
ONE O'CLOCK, P. M.
Since preparing the above, capt. Coombs, in the brig William, who failed in company with the Eliza, has arrived, who has politely furnished us with a Liverpool paper of the 19th May. It mentions that the King's Message was delivered to Parliament on the 16th, and was immediately taken into consideration.
The following are most important articles, under London dates as late as
MAY 17.
Yesterday afternoon Letters of Marque and Reprisal were
issued by Government against the French Republic and the Italian States. Holland and Spain are not mentioned in them, these countries being still nominally at peace with us.
About two dozen Letters of Marque were yesterday afternoon issued before the departure of the post.
The Channel fleet was expected to sail from Torbay yesterday. Some of our ships have been for some time cruising off Brest to watch the enemy's motions. A few days ago they saw a French 84 gun ship and between 70 and 80 sail of coasting vessels enter the harbour. Our sailors expressed great regret at not being able to pay them a visit.
Lord Nelson left town yesterday, to hoist his flag on board the Victory, at Portsmouth, and sail immediately to take the chief command in the Mediterranean, where 11 or 12 ships of the line are waiting for active service.
LOUISIANA.
Some letters from France, state, that Mr. Munroe, the American Envoy, has succeeded in obtaining the cession of Louisiana, to America, as a compensation for part of the debt due from France, on account of ships seized in the last war.
Capt. Coombs failed on the 21st, and endeavoured to obtain a later London paper; but the mail had not arrived at his departure.
LOUISIANA CEDED TO THE UNITED STATES.
BOSTON, JUNE 23.
Extracts of letters from Paris, received by the way of Havre,
"APRIL 23, 1803.
"We have now the moral certainty of being paid in the United States for what France owes to Americans. This government CEDES LOUISIANA, for a certain sum, of which the American credits are to be in part, and whether we be paid in Cash or Stock, it is still a good payment."
"MAY 9.
"I have at last the satisfaction to inform you that the American Creditors are to be paid by the American government in Exchange for Louisiana. THE THING IS FIXED.—Five months are given for the ratification; and Six Weeks After, those accounts which are liquidated will be paid by Mr. Livingston's bills on the Treasury of the United States, and those unliquidated within six months after."
"PARIS, MAY 13.
"I enclose you a Memorial," which Mr. Livingston our minister here, presented to the French government, which was really of the cession of Louisiana to the United States. I beg you to have it translated and published, that the liability due to the exertions of that able negotiator be rendered by every citizen, who is capable of appreciating the inestimable benefit he has obtained. The cession was voted in the Council of State the 8th of April. I was at St. Cloud that day.—The 9th, propositions were made to Mr. Livingston to fix on a price. The 10th, the thing was talked over, and the principles agreed upon, when news of Mr. Monroe's arrival at Havre got to town. The 12th, in the evening Mr. M. did arrive at Paris. The previous negotiations of Mr. L. were communicated to him and every thing was closed and signed the 30th—even before Mr. Monroe was presented at court.
"A convention, for the payment of the American debts by France, to our citizens, HAS ALSO BEEN SIGNED. They are estimated at FOUR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS;—and are to be paid by the United States, in part of the compensation for Louisiana. Thus, the most important event of our country since the Declaration of Independence, has been effected by a man without authority from his government, and who, to insure the good he wished to obtain, pledged his fortune for the execution. Merit of such a kind is so rare that it ought to be well understood, and appreciated. Mr. Monroe has the satisfaction of having been commissioned expressly for the purpose and which to certify, will render him celebrated without posterity knowing the part he had in the business."
* 33. The document alluded to is, entitled "A memorial on this question, whether it be advantageous for France to take possession of Louisiana? It would seem the French Government was, or affected to be convinced by it."
Selected Poetry.
FANCY.
Oh! is there not, when dewy eve Spreads her light texture o'er the vale, A gentle Fay that loves to leave Her moonlight pastime in the dale; And where the raptur'd poet sits To view the blue mist spread around, Across his mental vision flits And wraps his thoughts in peace profound?
Oh yes, there is! when first I sung, (Poor simple boy! I knew not then The carol pranks by artful tongue; I nature knew, but knew not men.)
She clasp'd me round the neck, and smil'd, And o'er the daisied meadows led; While frolic sport the way beguil'd, To where uprose the green hill's head.
Upon the grassy turf reclin'd, My rustic lays I'd murmuring read; While she in evanion sport would bind My brows with many a simple weed.
Or if I chose, she rais'd for me Deep in the dale a dark alcove; And round it planted many a tree, And choicest flow'rs e'er that I'd love;
And thither she the woodland brought, And there the lady-smock she twin'd; A daisied seat she deftly wrought, And near it taught a vill to wind.
Oh happy days! with her I'd rove, With her I'd chaunt my rustic strain; Or, sloping in my favorite grove, She rais'd gay visions in my brain.
Illusive Sprite! where art thou gone? O fool! to wander far from thee! I left with thee those joys alone I prize of sweet simplicity.
Oh Nibel, gentle Fancy, look! Forgetful my repentance see; No more I'll gild my maple crook, My verse shall be inspir'd by thee.
She comes!—the misty veil she clears! She ope's my eyes to cloudless day; Oh thank thee!—Sprite, nor doubt nor fear Shall force me from thy arms away.
From the PORT FOLIO.
Character of Doctor Smollett.
The person of Dr. Smollett was stout and well proportioned, his countenance engaging, his manner reserved, with a certain air of dignity, that seemed to indicate that he was not unconscious of his own powers. He was of a disposition so humane and generous, that he was ever ready to serve the unfortunate, and, on some occasions, to assist them beyond what his circumstances could justify.—Though few could penetrate with more acuteness into character, yet none was more apt to overlook misconduct, when attended with misfortune. He lived in an hospitable manner, but he despised that hospitality, which is founded on ostentation, which entertains only those, whose situation in life flatters the vanity of the entertainer, or such as can make returns of the same kind; that hospitality, which keeps a debtor and creditor account of dinners. Smollett invited to his plain, but plentiful table, the persons whose characters he esteemed, in whose conversation he delighted, and many for no other reason, than because they stood in need of his countenance and protection. As nothing was more abhorrent to his nature, than pertness, or intrusion, few things could render him more indignant than a cold reception; to this, however, he imagined he had sometimes been exposed, on application in favor of others; for himself, he never made an application to any great man in his life.
Free from vanity, Smollett had a considerable share of pride, and great sensibility; his passions were easily moved, and too impetuous when roused; he could not conceal his contempt of folly, his detestation of fraud, nor restrain from proclaiming his indignation against every instance of oppression. Though Smollett possessed a versatility of style in writing, which he could accommodate to every character, he had no suppleness in his con-
duct. His learning, diligence, and natural acuteness, would have rendered him eminent in the science of medicine, had he persevered in that profession, other parts of his character were ill suited for augmenting his practice. He could neither stoop to impose on credulity, nor humor caprice. He was of an intrepid, independent, imprudent disposition, equally incapable of deceit and adulation, and more disposed to cultivate the acquaintance of those he could serve, than of those who could serve him. What wonder that a man, of this character, was not, what is called, successful in life?
STOCKHOLM, MARCH 29.
NEW ILLUMINATI.
The Secretary of the Court, Charles Boheman, whose arrest was mentioned some time back, appears, by the papers found in his possession and now acknowledged by himself, to have been the chief instrument in a very extensive and dangerous plan; all the parts of which, however, are not yet discovered. He was Member, it seems, of a Society or Order which took its rise in the South of Germany, but spreading so rapidly as to draw too much attention, it was found convenient to change the name and places of meeting. The view of the Order seems chiefly political; they pretend to unlimited power over all governments; and all members are sworn to strict secrecy and to implicit obedience to unknown Chiefs. Boheman, though a Swede by birth, having been many years settled in Denmark, where he has estates, the King has ordered him to be delivered up to the Danish Government. A Royal Proclamation has been published on this occasion, requiring all persons who are at the head of Orders or Associations of any kind, to deliver to the Magistrate a copy of the form of the oath, and a written detail of the object of their society, under pain of dissolution of the Order. These documents to be laid before the King, and after being revised by him to be returned, and serve as a guide for the conduct of the Order. The Civil Governor of Stockholm, and the Chief Magistrate in country places, to have free admission at all times, by virtue of their office, without being received into the Order. They have also a right to be made acquainted with every thing that passes in the Order, no decree excepted. They are however, bound to observe the same secrecy as the members, except in regard to what their office makes it necessary to discover. The Free Masons, who are under the immediate protection of the King, are alone excepted from this inspection.
ASIATIC NONCHALANCE.
Capt. Gilman of the ship Manchester, of Philadelphia, arrived at New York from Canton, informs that just before he failed, John Tuck, Grand Hoopoo of Canton, (Chief officer of the Customs) was poisoned by order of the Emperor of China, who sent three Mandarins from Pekin for the purpose. The first gave him a poisonous pinch of snuff, the second a pill; and before the third was administered, he was a corpse. This is the mode in which he was punished for squeezing the poor. He took the poison with as much complacency as one friend would take a pinch of snuff from the box of another.
From a late London Paper.
A dreadful accident, caused in a singular manner.
On Friday evening last, a melancholy accident took place. Mrs. Adderly, in the act of feeding a squirrel, opened the door of its cage, when the animal, eager to obtain its food, ran out, and bit her so violently by the finger, that she was compelled by the pain to utter a loud cry, and suddenly rise up; at the same time the unfortunately let the candle fall on her clothes, which were immediately in flames. In this situation she screamed out, ran down stairs, and threw herself down in the passage, at the parlour door. The whole family rushed to afford assistance, and by rolling her in the carpet, extinguished the fire. She was conveyed to bed, burnt in a most shocking manner. Medical assistance was procured, but she was so much burnt, that, after languishing till five o'clock on Saturday morning, she expired.
By the 29th.
PHILADELPHIA, JUNE 24.
A few days since it was published in the papers at Washington that dispatches had been received from Mr. Munroe.—Yet not a word of what they contain, nor any hint upon which any calculation can be formed, has been suffered to leak out.
NEW-YORK, JUNE 24.
The number of duels that are now fought, prove the sad depravity of the
times, and of the little sense men have of another world. "If every one," says Addison, "that fought a duel were to stand in the pillory, it would quickly lessen the number of these men of imaginary honor, and put an end to so absurd a practice."
NEW-YORK, JUNE 22.
We understand that our government has given orders to the different collectors of the custom to issue SEA LETTERS, to all American vessels leaving the ports of the United States, after the 25th instant. This looks as if the late dispatches had given some pretty positive information, on what was about to take place.
BOSTON, JUNE 30.
FROM CAPE FRANCOIS.
Capt. Bailey has arrived at New Bedford, in 12 days. A body of brigands (about 4000) had made a treaty; and some of them were in town daily disposing of produce. Many are yet hostile, however, and the outposts take prisoners daily; and they are in general immediately given to the blood hounds.
On the departure of Mr. King, our Minister from London, Mr. Williams will be left Charge des Affaires.
Fire at Fort Independence.—On Tuesday forenoon a fire broke out in the large building improved as a Laboratory, at Fort Independence, which with its contents of military apparatus, stores, tools, &c. were principally destroyed.—We understand this loss was occasioned by the accidental explosion of a rocket, which one of the artificers was making.—It is supposed the rammer encountered some piece of iron, which communicated fire to the composition; and caused the explosion of about eighteen pounds of powder; which instantly unroofed the building, and scattered flames in every part of it. In a room adjoining that in which the fire first took, were seven cakes of powder, which some soldiers, at the imminent risk of their lives, snatched from the flames; though one of them was unhealed. The consternation of the garrison at this event was great; and the women and children were boated to Governor's Island. The people of Dorchester, went with their engine to the assistance of the garrison. The artificers, we learn, were employed in preparing fireworks for the celebration of the approaching anniversary of Independence; and one of them was so severely burnt, as to have survived his wounds but a few hours. The building destroyed was formerly used for the State prison.
BOSTON, JULY 1.
FIRE AT MONTREAL.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Montreal, dated the 10th instant.
ON the 7th, at noon, we were alarmed by fire in the St. Lawrence suburbs, when I went and was sorry to see many of the inhabitants in distress. The alarm was again rang for fire in the jail; I returned to the city; and found the Jesuits and Protestant churches on fire, and in the course of the evening, was witness to a terrible scene. two churches, one college and twenty seven houses on fire; the jail burnt to the ground—and I believe, had it not been for the plentiful supply which the Montreal water-works produced, the greater part of the city would have been laid in ashes.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in the Mississippi Territory, Jefferson County, to his friend in Hartford, (Gen.) dated May 20, 1803.
"WE are threatened by the Choctaw nation of Indians, since the troops have been disbanded; we are in momentary danger of being destroyed by those savages, who are very numerous, and can raise at least six thousand active warriors. They boast of the French, their old friends, coming to assist them again. The militia of this territory are undisciplined, destitute of arms and ammunition; the arms of the U. States, which have been sent here to be sold (instead of being deposited here for the use of the militia) are, what remains unfold, almost ate up with rust, at least rendered unfit for use. Those that have been sold are principally gone out of the territory. Numbers of Indians are daily at the Governor's seat, very proud and saucy, making what demands they please."
Samuel Flagg, Abraham Lincoln, and Francis Blake, are appointed Commissioners of Bankruptcy in Massachusetts.

AN ACCOUNT OR LEE & Co's PATENT FAMILY MEDICINES, celebrated for the cure of most diseases to which the human body is liable, and are in high esteem, and ge- neral use throughout the United States, many of them being sold cheaper than the drugs of which they are compounded, can be purchased at a retail store, for Worms—Coughs and Colds—Asphma— Consumption—Goat—Rheumatism—Sprains, —Palsy—Head aches—Tooth aches—Corns, —Itch—Lice & the Lyes—Ring Worms, Tetters, &c.—Inward weaknesse—Nervous Disorders—Female Complaints, —Hooping- Cough, &c.
HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, Which have within three years past cured upwards of one hundred and twenty thousand persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation of various dan- gerous complaints arising from Worms, and from obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels— This medicine bears no analogy what- soever to others of similar title, to common- ly complained of as operating with violence; on the contrary, a particular 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 can- not injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest in 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 produc- tion of worms and many fatal disorders.— They are particularly efficacious in carry- ing off all gross humors and eruptions; fe- vers and bilious complaints, and are the safest and mildest purgative that can be used on any occasion. 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 maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or fluted, flat, white worm; and lastly, the Taenia or tap-worm, so called from its resemble- ance to tape; this is often many yards long, and is full of joints; it is most hurt- ful and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are, disagreeable breath, especially in the morning; bad and corrupted gums; lich- ing in the nose and about the feet; convul- sions 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; adins and sicknels at the stomach; pains in the head, thighs, with lowness of spirits; flow fever, with small and irregular pulse; a dry cough; excessive thirst; sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and some- times 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. A dose of this medicine given occasion- ally during the warm season, will effect- ually prevent the vomiting and purging of children, a dreadful disorder which annu- ally destroys thousands of the infant part of our citizens. It is likewise the mildest and most certain remedy known, and has restored to health and strength a great num- ber when in an advanced stage of this fatal complaint; particular and plain instruc- tions are given for every part of the necessa- ry treatment in such cases. Children generally take this medicine
with eagerness; having a pleasing appear- ance, and an agreeable taste. CASES OF CURES. (Selected from thousands) the authenticity of which any person may ascertain, either by letter or personal application.
Communicated by Doctor John Spangler, York town, Pennsylvania. Letter from the Rev. John Mother, Minis- ter of the Moravian Church, in York town. York, Jan. 4th, 1802. DEAR SIR,—Dr. Hamilton's Lozenges having been recommended to me as a very adquate means for the cure of children, afflicted with worms, I procured a box for the use of my family, to try whether by this medicine, I might be enabled to gain a profit, which to accomplish, different out my means had proved abortive. My eld- est boy had a very sickly appearance, was very feeble at night, grew leaner from time to time; in short, he seemed to be in a precarious state of health, which would yield to none of the medicines administered, until I gave him two doses of the Lozenges, agree- ably to the directions, which carried off a substance to all appearance a mere mucus, but upon close inspection quite re- plete with very small living animals. Not one of that sort of worms, which usually afflict children, came from him. Since that period he grew remarkably better in health, and though lean, has got a fresh and lively complexion. Upon different occasions I have used this medicine as a purging substitute, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly ache, or a y of those disagreeable sensations so often occasioned by purging medicines. Upon the whole, I judge this medicine to be, besides its main object—one of the most valuable means for restoring lost appetite, and promoting a proper state of digestion, by carrying off that bilious substance, which engenders so much indisposition both among children and adults. I am, Sir, Your most obt. servant, JOHN MOTHER.
Letter from the Hon. A. C. Hanson, Esq. Chancellor of the State of Maryland, to the editor of the Maryland Gazette. Sir:—For the good of the public, as well as from a desire to do justice to a man of merit and genius, I request you to publish the following cases:
A young man in my family, who had read Dr. Hamilton's advertisement and who had, for some time, as he says, ex- perienced the symptoms described by the doctor, as indicating the presence of worms in the human stomach or intestines, re- solved, without consulting any person what- soever, to try the doctor's remedy. He ac- cordingly procured a box of the Lozenges. Last evening he took 4 of the yellow, and this morning he took an equal number of the brown kind. They did not, as he says, operate harshly, except one stool, when he felt a considerable griping, and when these came from him a worm, perfectly white, about a yard in length, as broad as his little finger, and having a number of joints, about an inch or 1 1/2 of an inch distant from each other. Besides this worm, he says there came from him a considera- ble number of flat worms, about 3/4 of an inch in length, and nearly the same in breadth. He did not think of counting them, but he says there were more than 20. I regret extremely that I did not get an opportunity of seeing the type worm; the young man not having, as he ought to have done, taken measures for preserving it, and the simple servant girl, who attended his chamber, having, before I had heard of his taking the medicine, thrown it and the other worms into the next day, not think- ing it of consequence to take care of them. This girl, however, and another servant concurred with him respecting the worms which appeared in the vessel; and the tape worm, they say, was alive, for as far as have motion, after it came from him. It is needless to describe his symptoms, as he says they were exactly such as are de- scribed by the doctor.
Another young man of my family also, without any consultation or advice, one evening and morning, about 3 months ago took 7 Lozenges, which operated power- fully. No worm came from him; but, in the course of a or 3 days, he was quite well; and has since had a considerable ac- cession of flesh and strength. In short, al- though I, like many others, have been in- credulous with respect to the virtue of Hamilton's Lozenges, I am, at length, per- fectly convinced, of their great efficacy and utility.
As I cannot reasonably be supposed to have any motive, except a consideration for public good, for publishing these cases, I flatter myself that I shall not incur ridi- cule or censure from thinking men, for adding my second-hand testimony to the evidence of the numerous respectable char- acters who have aimed to render justice to Dr. Hamilton, (with whom I have not the lightest acquaintance) and to give important information to their fellow creatures. I think it not amiss to add, that, from the healthy appearance of the young man, who has been so greatly & quickly relieved, I should have ridiculed his symptoms and apprehensions, had he communicated them to me before he took the Lozenges. The fact I am persuaded is, that most young persons who are, from time to time disordered without a visible or apparent cause, are afflicted with worms. A. C. HANSON. Annapolis, Sept. 18, 1803.
