VALUABLE MEDICINES, AT REDUCED PRICES.
THE public are respectfully informed, that the PATENT MEDICINES hitherto in the hands of Messrs. MACLEAN & POYER , will in future be sold by Mr. NATHANIEL HART , only, in Lexington, Messrs. M. & P. having relinquished the agency in his favor. A fresh supply of the following are received from LEE & Co. Baltimore.
DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR.
A sovereign remedy for Colds, obstinate Coughs, Asthma, Sore Throats and approaching Consumption. For Parents who have Children afflicted with the HOOPING COUGH.
This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it affords immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable. The Elixir is so perfectly agreeable, and the dose so small that no difficulty arises in taking it.
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 medicine has proved ineffectual; and not one in an hundred had occasion to take more than one, numbers not half a bottle. Extract of a letter from Dr. Henry C. Saper, Kent County, Delaware.
"I have given the ague drops to a number of patients this fall, and with constant success; in some obstinate cases they acted like a charm, the diseases yielding in a day or two to this remedy, after resisting the barks for months, and when they had been thrown in the largest doses."
TOOTH-ACHE DROPS.
The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances.
DR. HAHN'S TRUE AND GENUINE GERMAN CORN PLAISTER.
For corns speedily removing them root and branch without giving pain.
DR. 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 immoderate use of tea - frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance - the unwholesome or excessive use of mercury - the diseases peculiar to females at a certain period of life - badgings in, &c. &c.
And it is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of Violent cramps in the stomach and back, Nervous disorders, Consumption, Indigestion, Lowness of spirits, Melancholy, Loss of appetite, Relaxations, Impurities of the blood, Involuntary emissions, Hysterical affections, Obstinate gleet, Inward weaknesses, Fluor albus, &c.
The principal operation of this remedy is in the stomach, restoring the digestive powers and sending forth from that organ new health and vigour into every part of the system; it enriches and purifies the blood without endangering it; braces without stimulating too violently the nervous system; strengthens the secretory vessels and the general habit; brings back the molecular fibres to their natural and healthy tone, and restores the nutrition which immediate evacuations have destroyed and whose loss has thrown the whole frame into languor and debility. In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impoverishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh which no nourishment or cordial could repair, a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE AND EXTRACT OF MUSTARD.
A safe and effectual remedy for rheumatism, gout, palsy, sprains and bruises, white swellings, old strains, and relaxations, numbness and weakness of the joints, stiffness of the neck, pains of the side, head ache, swelled faces, frozen limbs, and every similar complaint. It prevents chilblains, or chopped hands, and the ill effects of getting wet or damp in the feet.
The extract is celebrated for removing cold and windy complaints in the stomach and bowels, flying pains, and other spasmodic affections.
The testimony of thousands, and daily experience fully certify the superiority of the above medicines over all others, in the cure of the maladies we have enumerated.
Letter from Dr. Weatherburn. Wythe county, Virg. October 7, 1801.
Gentlemen, I purchased at your shop the preparations you call Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard , which I believe has perfectly removed a chronic rheumatism (of that kind named Sciatica, or of the hip joint) under which I had laboured for a long time, and which had baffled every article in Materia Medica , and every mode of treatment received into practice for the cure of this obstinate disease.
If you think this letter may be useful, you are at liberty to make it public.
P. WEATHERBURN.
Messrs. R. Lee & Co.
DR. HAHN'S ANTI-BILIOUS PILLS.
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 procure a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds which are often attended with 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.
PERSIAN LOTION.
So celebrated among the fashionable throughout Europe as an invaluable cosmetic, perfectly innocent and safe, from corrosive and replent minerals, (the basis of other lotion) and of unparalleled efficacy in preventing and removing blemishes of the face and skin of every kind, particularly freckles, pimples, inflammation redness, scurf, tetter, ring worms, funbans, prickly heat, premature wrinkles, &c. The Persian Lotion operates mildly, without impeding that natural insensible perspiration, which is essential to health, yet its effects are speedy and permanent,

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.
THE DAMASK LIP SALVE,
Is recommended (particularly to the ladies) as an elegant and pleasant preparation for chopped and sore lips, and every blemish and inconvenience occasioned by colds, fevers, &c. speedily restoring a beautiful rosy colour and delicate softness to the lips.
THE ANODYNE ELIXIR

FOR THE CURE OF VENEREAL COMPLAINTS.

HAMILTON'S WORM-DESTROYING LOZENGES.
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 Cucurbitina, or short flat white 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 fetid stools - vomiting - large and hard belly - pains and sickness at the stomach - pains in the head and thighs with lowness of spirits - flow fever, with small and irregular pulse - a dry cough - excessive thirst - sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed. Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms, should have immediate recourse to Hamilton's Worm-destroying Lozenges , which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
This medicine, which is innocent and mild, as it is certain and efficacious in its operation, cannot injure the youngest infant, or the most delicate pregnant lady, should no worms exist in the body; but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels, removing whatever is foul or offensive within, particularly that slimy humor from whence worms and many fatal disorders proceed.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness, having a pleasing appearance and an agreeable taste.
As upwards one hundred and twenty thousand persons of both sexes, and of every age, have received benefit from this extraordinary medicine, a multitude of certificates of cures may be seen, in addition to those already published.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally will effectually prevent the vomiting and purging of children, a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands of the infant part of our cities. It is like wise the mildest and most certain remedy known, and has restored to health and strength a great number when in an advanced stage of this fatal complaint - particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the necessary treatment in such cases.
Letter from Mr. Benj. Williams, No. 5, Baltimore street, two doors above South Gay street. Gentlemen,
I have a son six years of age, who for four years past has been generally in a very unhealthy state, particularly in the summer; frequently afflicted with a paroxysmal convulsion fits, the whole of his little frame wasting fast, his breath became fetid, an almost constant itching of the nose was excited, with other alarming symptoms. During the course of the above period, the advice and attendance of three of the most eminent physicians in Baltimore was successively procured. Each of these gentlemen in their turn declared worms to be the cause of his disorder, and exhausted their skill in attempts to expel them, pink root, steel filings, with a variety of other medicines were administered without the least success. It was once pronounced impossible for the child to live many hours.
I had frequently heard of your Worm Destroying Lozenges , but like many others, did not think highly of so cheap a medicine, until a gentleman of my acquaintance (Mr. Wm. S. Moor) in whose family they had been used with good effect, advised me to make a trial of them. I accordingly gave my son a dose, agreeable to directions, which soon expelled eight large worms, some of them about 12 inches in length; a second dose brought away four more of similar size; a third dose being administered, no worm appeared. The child recovered, and now enjoys a good state of health. BENJ. WILLIAMS.

DISPUTATION,
On the negative of this question "Are the characters and opinions of the present age in their tendency unfavorable to human happiness?" Delivered at Williams' College, Massachusetts, Sept. 1800.
By J. H. RUSSELL.
Man is formed for improvement. There are no certain and definite limits beyond which he cannot pass. The human powers and faculties, when applied to the science of government, philosophy, or morals, are capable of an almost endless progression.
Nature hath not limited one nation to the attainment of just so much knowledge; she hath not destined another to the certain degree of refinement and then placed an eternal barrier to their future progress; but we every where find the demonstration of this truth, "that the more men make application to science and knowledge, the more they improve their form of government, their laws and civil institutions, the greater degree of virtue and happiness unavoidably follows."
The prosperity of a nation will be in proportion to the number of virtuous and enlightened individuals. There is no nation where all the individuals have received as much virtue and knowledge as they are capable of receiving. There is no government so perfect as to be incapable of improvement. No nation has arrived at its utmost limits of perfection. Because therefore nations have flourished and decayed, because knowledge and the arts have been sometimes progressive and then retrograde, we have no reason to conclude that the like will always take place. The causes of happiness or misery which formerly produced these changes are not the same now. We shall soon see that the character of the present age is totally different from that of any former period. In order to judge of the present state of man, let us first examine the greatest cause of his progressive improvement.
This is knowledge. Luxury, manners and government have a very considerable influence, but the state of literature will ever determine these. Whenever learning has prevailed, in whatever country knowledge and the arts are in a high degree of improvement, that country has ever been found flourishing and happy. But where the arts are forgotten or the sciences neglected ignorance predominates. Ignorance engenders superstition and bigotry, superstition and bigotry produce debility and sloth, debility and sloth complete brutality. It has ever been the tendency of ignorance to reduce men to the condition of brutes, but knowledge to exalt and ennoble the human species. It has been asserted by my opponent that luxury forms a striking feature in the character of the present age, but this can never endanger the industry or virtue of a nation where knowledge is extensively diffused. In a small degree it may prevail. Some individual cities may be corrupted by luxury; but if the people are extensively enlightened, if the government is administered by men of wisdom, this partial evil will easily be corrected. When the superfluities of life are had in a considerable degree by an enlightened people, who know the effects of luxury, they have ever been productive of the general good; but if the same superfluities are obtained with equal ease by a nation ignorant of their effects, vice and misery have always been the consequence.
There are no European countries more sunk in effeminacy, debauchery and vice, than Spain, Portugal and Turkey, and there are none more ignorant: but England, Switzerland, or the United States, are perhaps more powerful and virtuous in proportion to their numbers than any other countries; and these nations are the most enlightened.
Knowledge, in order to become a source of national happiness, must be extensively diffused. It must not be confined to some individual writers, as in Rome during the latter times of that republic, it must not be confined to the closets of the learned, as in France during the reign of Louis 14th, but it must be diffused through every part of a nation. When knowledge reaches all ranks of men, when it penetrates the cottages of the peasantry, it is then the immediate cause of all civilization and refinement, it is then the greatest source of national happiness.
Are people at the present day extensively enlightened? On this point will rest the present question. For if knowledge is now extensive and fast spreading, if superstition that grand enemy of truth, retires before the light of science, we have the most ample proof that the character of the present age is highly favorable to human happiness. To judge of this fact, and to see the happy state of mankind in the present age, we need only compare our present condition with that of our ancestors. Nothing can convince us of our present prosperous state in a more clear and indisputable manner than such a comparison.
The happiness we enjoy from social intercourse, from freedom and security in our property and our lives, was in a considerable degree unknown to our ancestors. In the fourteenth century castles and fortresses were everywhere erected for the protection of private property; and few men were thought secure in their possessions unless they could defend them by force of arms.
The violence and roughness of manners were such, that ladies of the first distinction, were often obliged to retire to the monasteries as the only means for the preservation of their virtue, and in the courts of some sovereigns laws were enacted to prevent the nobility from striking the Queen with their fists or other weapons.
A few centuries ago the common method of determining causes was by the decision of the sword, and such was the superstition of the age that this was thought to be an infallible mode of administering justice.
When we live in security, when the pleasures of society and the accommodations of civilized life surround us, we little think of our own advantages; but could we exchange our present condition for that of our ancestors in the twelfth or fourteenth century, we should immediately find ourselves in want of almost all these things we now call the necessaries and conveniences of life. Do we value the advantage of setting in the winter season by a common fire, or of having the light to shine through the window without the admission of the cold? And can we wish to exchange these conveniences for the condition of the most civilized parts of Europe in the twelfth century, when the use of window-glass and chimneys was wholly unknown. Whoever now travels the most populous parts of Europe and views the magnificence of her towering churches, superb palaces, and lofty columns of architecture, would scarce believe that five centuries ago, the houses in all the capitals of England, France, and Germany, were covered with straw.
Nor is it in the arts of life alone that we are to mark this progressive improvement. The discoveries in the sciences, those fundamental sources of human happiness, have far surpassed the most sanguine expectations of former times. The genius of individuals was roused at the view of the degraded state of man. Luther & Calvin came boldly forth in the cause of humanity and religion; other geniuses succeeded; the grand obstacle to improvement was removed, and the progress of science has been such as had no parallel in former ages. The laws of nature have now been unfolded; the faculties of the human mind have been investigated, and we are taught to command even the lightning of heaven.
The discoveries and improvements of modern times are almost innumerable. But there is none of so much importance to mankind as the art of printing. This has aided, and probably forever secured the progress of the human mind. Nations in former ages had little knowledge of each others internal policy, laws, or scientific improvements, but in modern times, a single discovery a single production of genius or taste, like the electric fire, immediately finds a conductor to every part of the civilized world.
A mass of knowledge has by this means been accumulated, and diffused, among all ranks of men to a degree never before known. The false logic and non-sensical jargon of the schools has been exchanged for the noblest discoveries in philosophy, and the purest deductions of reason. A common peasant has now the means of acquiring more knowledge of the principles of science than would then have fallen to the share of a Newton.
It is impossible to observe the progressive improvements of the moderns in the science of laws, government, morals, commerce and the various arts which adorn, refine and bless society, without the most pleasing satisfaction and joyful hope. Is there a government in Europe which has not been improved since the feudal times? Is there a society which has not received advantages from modern discoveries? or an individual of intelligence and candor, who will not acknowledge that the present is a highly improved and happy era?

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in London to his correspondent in New-York, dated May 10.
"A large body of the inhabitants of Poland are intending to pass to America. This emigration is under the direction of Koscinski and Thomas Paine, and with the particular support of Mr. Jefferson, president of the United States. They intend forming a settlement on the banks of the Susquehanna, in New-York state. The number spoken of is 1500, probably many of them with families. This will add to the value of that part of the country as it is but thinly settled."

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in New-Orleans, to his friend in Philadelphia dated June 22.
"A courier has just arrived from Spain with dispatches to the governor, &c. which do not mention one word of this province being given up to the French. The dispatches are as late as the beginning of April. Private letters in town just received from the Havana state, that the province had been given to the French, but returned, on condition that the Spaniards would pay the French five millions of money, five ships of the line, and repairs for twenty more. These letters speak confidently of this statement being correct. If this account is true, we shall have reason to congratulate ourselves on the event."

CINCINNATI, July 31.
A letter dated Natchez, the 11th June last, from a gentleman who lately descended the

river, contains the following interesting intelligence.
"We were attacked by robbers near the mouth of White river, and a breeze springing up, prevented us from being boarded by two perogues, having in each six men, well armed. They hailed us from the shore, telling us they wished to purchase some trifles, and on our refusing to land they commenced the pursuit. They originally consisted of three companies, and were commanded by a person named Mason, who has left the camp at White river, and scours the road through the wilderness. About two weeks ago they attacked a merchant boat, and took possession of her, after having killed one of the people on board."

Information from Bordeaux of June 6, says, "Buonaparte is momentarily expected to visit this city; and the greatest preparations are making to receive him with every mark of honor and respect. He is elected consil for life—and the sovereign pontiff of the catholic church has pronounced him the greatest man that ever existed excepting the Savior of the world."

Capt. Steele arrived at New-York from Port Republican, informs that the blacks, taking advantage of the weakness of the French army, which is much reduced by disease and death, were again on the rise, and had already begun to form encampments on the plains of Leogane. This circumstance gave great uneasiness to the planters, who had reason to expect another scene of trouble and massacre.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
TO HIM I MOST ESTEEM.
Yon little Cot, so neat and white, By woodbines half conceal'd from sight, Where the old elm excludes the light, Of Phebus' noontide beam.
With wealth enough to keep us free, From the cold gripe of poverty, Would more than palace be to me, With him I most esteem.
Or was yon lofty mansion mine, Where art and nature, both combine, To make it elegantly fine, What joy in the extreme.
(Possessed of all that's rich or rare, With boundless wealth, and free from care) 'Twould be the envied lot to share With him I most esteem.
But whiten'd cot, nor woodbine bower, Nor lofty dome, nor hall, nor tower; Nor boundless wealth, poss'ss the power, To cheer life's languid dream.
Nor joy, nor peace, they could impart, Unless I know the blissful art, To win, and ever hold the heart Of him I most esteem.
ANECDOTE.
The writer of a modern book of travels, relating the particulars of his being cast away, thus concludes: "After having walked eleven hours without tracing the print of a hu- man foot; to my great comfort and delight, I saw a man hanging upon a gibbet; my plea- sure at this cheering prospect, was inexpressi- ble, for it convinced me that I was in a civi- lized country."
