HOUSE OF COMMONS.
TUESDAY, July 10.
State of the Nation
Mr. Western, pursuant to notice, rose to make his motion relative to an enquiry into the state of the nation; he said that the peculiar circumstances of the country at this moment were such that it became the duty of parliament to investigate with care and attention all the relation and bearing of the present state of things; and it was his intention to give them an opportunity for that consideration, by moving that the house should go into a committee to consider of the state of the nation.
At the beginning of the present year the present ministers refused to treat with France upon any terms, because of the instability of that government. What were the grounds upon which they then refused those overtures? The character of Buonaparte—the great assistance we were to receive from the emperor—the success of our magnanimous ally, Paul. What had become of all these hopes and expectations? Were one of them realized? In moving, therefore, a committee of enquiry, it was not to discourage any desponding ideas, but for the purpose of seeing what was likely to be our future situation, looking at the probable consequences of things.
There was great reason to believe that France would soon be relieved from all her continental enemies, and then be enabled to direct the whole force of her immense armies of veteran troops against us. If so, with all the activity, energy, and vigour, which had characterised their leaders, and possessing that immense tract of sea-coasts, what was to impede them from making descents on our sister kingdom? Notwithstanding the unquestioned superiority of our fleets, the thing had been proved by experience to be practicable. With regard to our own internal situation, he agreed that our finances were great and abundant, but they were not boundless and inexhaustible. We were loaded with an accumulation of debt, and every article of life bore the heaviest price. Under these circumstances was it asking too much, to require the house to go into enquiry of what was the actual state of things? The people of England were anxious for peace, as appeared from the funds upon the news of the disaster of our ally. So much was peace desired, that even defeat was welcome if it appeared to further that desirable object. He concluded by moving that the House should resolve itself into a committee to enquire into the state of the nation.
Mr. Windham said, that in these discussions, few gentlemen had touched on what he deemed a most important topic—the evils attendant on peace. No man could deny the maxim Pax potior bello , or say that peace was not preferable, but nations went to war only because war, with all its evils was more to be endured than the calamities of a peace. If, with respect to France the Bourbon race was not restored, & the revolutionary system abolished, could in his opinion, be only the lesser evil of the two. The motion was, that the house should assume an interference with the executive government; the reason assigned was—it was a very critical period. But as such periods frequently occurred in time of war, it must follow that the government must be often put into commission. This motion, however, went further; it went to state that the present administration had been guilty of some act of delinquency; and that as there was not time to find another set of ministers, the executive power must, for a certain time, be vested in that house. The ministers were charged with being unable to judge of the character of our allies, to predict events—or to act upon great political conjectures. He could not admit the strength of the proofs on which these charges were founded. As to subsidizing Prussia, Russia and other powers, we had the advantage of the assistance while the subsidy was paid. Thus far we had money's worth for our money.
Another charge against ministers was, their ignorance of the character of their enemies, and the invectives which it was said had been lavished upon Buonaparte. He scarcely knew to what this latter charge alluded. There was certainly nothing could deserve the appellation of invective against that general in the firm and dignified answer of lord Grenville. He was not disposed to recal any words he might have used in that house. It was not to use harsh or low words to call things by their proper names; and to withhold proper terms, when speaking of a man who had desolated Europe by his crimes, would have been a fastidious and immoral delicacy. It would be a blunder similar to that of the man, who having lost a pair of silk stockings, advertised them as worsted, in order to recover them more cheaply,—or, to come more closely to the point, it would be to imitate the language of Scrub, in the Play, who, after crying 'thieves thieves!' says "Oh no! I mean the honest gentlemen who are come to rob the house." The present ministers were certainly qualified to make peace, though not such a peace as some gentlemen might desire, accompanied with a fraternization with the French republic. Such a peace would be his abhorrence.
He was for peace preceded by every due precaution. Why has it happened that the French nation is a great nation; that Buonaparte is a great man? Because they and he have gone on steadily and determined to their end; because they have not been agitated by any apprehension of reverses; because they have not been depressed by disappointment and despair. Why should not this kind of reasoning be applied to us! Are we not equally capable of bold and daring enterprise, of intrepidity and perseverance? or shall we at once give up the contest by acknowledging our inferiority? he concluded with declaring himself decidedly against the motion.
Mr. Sheridan said, the question had not been fairly met by any of the gentlemen who had spoken on the other side of the house. It went merely to place the house in a state of vigilence, to put it in a situation in which it might be prepared for any events that might arise, and be enabled, as occasion might require, to approach the throne with their sentiments and advice. If the committee moved for by his honorable friend (Mr. Western) was granted, no minister would in that case, presume to advise his majesty to prorogue the parliament; and he conceived that the salvation of the country depended, in a great measure, upon the decision of that night's debate. He argued, that the motion before the house contained nothing that could encourage the enemy, or discourage our allies. It merely provided the means of scrutinizing the conduct of ministers, and of enabling the house to carry their sentiments to the throne, in which it could not possibly be supposed there was any thing dangerous to the country, except it were considered such to check destructive projects of ministers, who in their reprehensible conduct of the war, by their ill-judged expeditions, were merely scratching at the rind, while Buonaparte had penetrated to the heart of Italy.
Mr. Tierney spoke at considerable length in favor of the motion.
The house then divided—For the motion 27, against it 143—Majority 116.
August 4.
The Iris has carried out 320,000 guineas, and the Ariadne 150,000, to be conveyed to Vienna, for the Emperor.
It has been intimated that the Grand Seignor had signified his pleasure that his Ambassador to the British Court should continue in this country till the ensuing spring. A knowledge, however, of the ability of this minister, and the critical state of the Asiatic politics, have induced the Emperor to make a new disposition; and the ambassador has received orders to repair to the capitol of Turkey with all possible expedition, for the purpose, we are inclined to believe, of being appointed Res Effendi, or first minister of foreign Affairs. The order of recall to the Ambassador was accommodated by a firman appointing Mr. Arginople, First Dragoman to his Excellency, a Greek of noble family and distinguished talents, though not yet 22 years old, to be Charge des affaires to the Court of London.
August 6.
It is said in the foreign papers, that in consequence of the differences between their respective generals, some disagreement has taken place between the courts of Vienna and Munich. The elector complains loudly that general Kray retreated along the Danube, leaving Bavaria exposed. He demanded that gen. Christian de Deux Pons, who commanded the Bavarians, should at least be detached upon the Lech, to cover Munich; but it appears that the Bavarian Palatine troops, were not permitted to separate from the Imperial army. The refusal has increased the discontent and ill-humor of the elector, who seeing that his capitol was left without defence, resolved to retire to the Upper Palatine with the corps of troops which he could assemble from different parts of Bavaria. The prince established himself at Amberg, with 10 or 12,000 men, while gen. Kray carried off the remaining Bavarian Brigades with the Imperial army to the Inn.
The Elector of Bavaria thought to gain time by lengthening out the negotiations with gen. Moreau; in the mean time the Austrians, were beforehand, and concluded the armistice in order not to leave to the Elector the advantage in having treated first with France. Hence it is generally believed in Germany, that, at the making of peace, the interests of that Prince will not be so much attended to as they have been. On the other hand the Emperor of Russia, now the declared enemy of the Court of Vienna, and who has expressly guaranteed the Elector's territories, will hardly fail to mediate in his favor, and to press his Prussian Majesty to do the same.
From the manner in which the Moniteur states the intelligence from Naples, it may be gathered that the present government of that country is in some danger, and that the republicans have some thoughts of paying a second visit to Naples. If the account given of the state of the public mind be correct, a French demi-brigade would do the business. Mr. Burke said several years ago that the kingdom of Naples was in a state as liable to convulsions as its own Veluvious; and the extraordinary proceedings of the government since the last restoration have not been well calculated to secure quiet.
The temper of the people in the dominions of the king of Naples is so very ticklish that the government is afraid to allow the success of the French in Upper Italy to be known. The most ridiculous falsehoods are published as authentic news from the armies. The people, however, are very much discontented, and they have received some accounts of the true state of things. Something called an amnesty was lately published by the government, but such an amnesty! There are several hundred exceptions among whom are persons of high rank!
It is evident, even from the conduct of Ministers, after they had agreed to give effect to the convention concluded in Egypt that they did not do it with that appearance of good faith which they ought to have. They ought not to have instructed Lord Keith to demand of Gen. Kleber any conditions not stipulated in the original convention. If they did general Kleber was at liberty to accept or refuse them, and of course to adhere to the convention or not, as he thought proper. The letter of Lord Keith to Poussielgue, by imposing such new conditions respecting not serving against the Confederate Powers, &c. completely liberates Kleber from the observance of the previous agreement. The whole conduct of Ministers in this affair displays the most presumptuous ignorance of the state of things in Egypt, and shews with what a puerile credulity they believed every thing in the intercepted correspondence, and acted upon it.
During the siege of Genoa in one of the many sallies which the French troops made, Massena was at one time left alone with one of his Aids-de-Camp, most of the party being killed; the general was in the greatest danger, and the balls were flying round. Massena, who had made so many extraordinary escapes, turned round to the aid-de-camp, and said, "I perceive that death will have nothing to do with you and me."
August 7.
By letter from Paris we find the American ministers make no progress in their explanations, and that the two republics are not for the present likely to be better
reconciled. The object of this suspense and delay is obvious. France, by holding a doubtful conduct, will animate her partizans in America, and intimidate her opponents; and in this course she will the more probably continue to steer, with the view of effecting a change in the president, the election of whom comes on in a few months.
August 10.
It is currently reported, and generally credited at Hamburgh, that the Court of London is upon the point of a perfect reconciliation with the Emperor Paul. What renders this desirable event more credible is, that the armed neutrality is no longer the topic of discourse.
From Hamburgh, July 25, It is stated that Sir James Crawford the British envoy for Lower Saxony, has disposed of his horses and carriages, his furniture &c. at his residence in Altona, and will very soon depart for England.
It now appears that the Portuguese ambassador had no orders to leave Peterburgh, but justly apprehended such an event, had demanded leave of his court to return home.
From Constantinople it is reported that the English troops under Col. Murray, have abandoned the Isthmus of Suez, of which they had taken possession previous to the dispersion of the grand Turkish army.
An article from the Hague, of the 26th ult. states, that the intelligence first circulated in Paris of the departure of the Russian ambassador from Constantinople, is fully confirmed, by letters from Hungary and several places. All the Russians have also quitted that city.
The Paris papers of the 5th confirm the report of the capture of 20 English gun-boats, coming out of Gibraltar, by Spanish gun boats and corsairs belonging to Barcelona. Two of the above were from Tuscany, and defended themselves with obstinacy against the Spaniards.
The Journal de Commerce positively asserts that the present armistice between the French and Imperialists is concluded for the space of three months.
It is again reported in the French Journals that the 25th Messidor was a day of glory for the troops. They then seized upon the almost impetrable position of Ross' Schlagpaas, near Remis though obstinately defended by the Tyrolean chas-seurs: and while they entered the Tyrolean country upon this point, another strong column penetrated through the forest of Bregenz, by a way intersected with rocks and mountains, which had never been passed before by any army.
The French have taken possession of Frankfort, entering that city on the 27th ult. with two battalions and 400 cavalry, three pieces of cannon, and several ammunition waggons. The magistrates resisted a considerable time, but being at length compelled to yield to force, they consented to give up the place, and accordingly billets being granted, the troops were distributed in the houses of the citizens. The sensations caused by this unexpected movement upon the inhabitants, is said to be inexpressible. The energy of the magistrates, it is also observed do them honor, as they persist in refusing to pay the contribution demanded; but on the contrary, insist upon claiming the rights due to a neutral city.
A Prussian and Bavarian Courier passed through Ratisbon on the night of the 26th ult. charged with dispatches for General Moreau; and an important negotiation with the Elector of Bavaria is understood as being in great forwardness.
The French are making vigorous preparations for the defence of their Western coast against the English. They consider Belleisle as the object against which one of our Secret expeditions is destined.
Gen. Angereau, according to letters received by the last mail, has received orders to march back from the Lower Rhine to Holland with the army under his command; a circumstance which affords another argument in favor of the opinion of a speedy Continental Peace.
We have the pleasure to state, on the authority of a letter from Bombay, lately received, that the surviving seamen belonging to his majesty's late frigate the Resistance , which was blown up in the Streights of Banca, had all arrived at Malacca. It appears they were ransomed by the Macassar Rajah in consequence of a representation made to the Sultan of Lingau by the commanding officer at Ma-

The unfortunate men, five in number, had been some months in captivity with the Malay pirates.
The account which was said to have been communicated by private letters from Gibraltar, with respect to the affair between admiral Duckworth's squadron and a Danish frigate and convoy, published in the Times of Saturday, is completely unfounded. It probably arose from a misunderstanding which formerly took place between the Emerald frigate on the Lisbon station, and a frigate belonging to Denmark, but was soon after adjusted to the satisfaction of both countries.
The king of Sweden has prohibited the consumption of coffee in his dominions as an article of luxury.
The weekly discounts at the bank of England, says a recent publication, are seldom beneath the sum of one million.
An article from Berlin says we are assured that exclusive of the late successes of the French, the Court of Vienna was forced into a negotiation by the people, who opposed both the forced loan and a new levy of troops, and began to insult the English Ambassador, as the cause of all their sufferings.
The whole of the troops composing Netley camp, embarked at Southampton yesterday, consisting of the 13th regiment of foot three battalions of the 9th, two of the 34th and the 79th regiments, with a train of artillery and failed for Portsmouth. Monday a battallion of the Royal Scotch, the 27th and the riflemen of all the regiments destined on the secret expedition, embarked at South Sea Beach, Portsmouth, and the artillery horse embarked on Tuesday morning from the dock yard. Wednesday the troop ships and transports, with about 10,000 men on board, dropped down to St. Helen's; and on Friday morning they failed for the Westward. They are to call at Plymouth, where Sir James Poulton chief in command, will embark, and a considerable body of more troops. The officers who embarked at Spithead, are Major-Generals Morehead, Manners and Coote.
A squadron of men of war is assembling in the downs, which is expected to join the fleet of transports and other vessels at Yarmouth.

TARIFA, (Andalusia) July 5.
This day, at two o'clock in the afternoon, there passed near this straight a division of seven or eight ships of the line, and four or five frigates, in all 13 sail, in full sail for the N. E. Almost all these ships had a national flag. One only carried a tri-coloured flag at the main mast. We believe them to be French and Spaniards.

PARIS, August 3.
Piedmont is dreadfully infested with robbers who plunder on the high road in the day. Six of them suffered death on the 20th inst. the chief of whom, named Condi, was the son of an opulent merchant of Turin for whom his father offered 200,000 franks to save his life.
Decree of the 6th Thermidor—The Consuls of the republic decree: "Art 1. All the Piedmontese citizens, Cisalpine and Tuscan, who were conducted to France last year, have liberty to return home."

FRANKFORT, July 22.
To facilitate the conclusion of a peace, Buonaparte will himself repair to the vicinity of the place where the Congress is held, and will be accompanied by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Talleyrand.
July 29.
The troops coming from Bavaria have not received a countermand. They continue their march towards the Mein, and expect Gen. Angereau at Cologne.
AUGSBURGH, July 21.
The French head-quarters are still here. Augsburgh or Anspach will probably be the place where the Congress will be held. Should it meet at Augsburgh, the French head-quarters will be removed to Dillingen. A letter from Munich says, there is reason to hope that the whole business of the negotiation will be ended by Michaelmas, as the treaty of Campo Formio will be made the basis, and several principal points were settled before the conclusion of the armistice. Others, however, believe that peace will meet with many difficulties, especially on the part of England. The contributions and requisitions levied by the French army on our bishopric, within six weeks, amount already to a million of Florins.

WINCHESTER, August 27.
A most distressing event took place on the morning of the 15th inst. in the Fork of Capean, Hampshire county. Philip Porter and Moses Largen (Brothers-in-law) took their rifles, and went in search of Deer; They did not travel far together, before they agreed to take separate routes; Largen approached a lick, and took his stand in a convenient place to watch for game. Not much time had elapsed before he discovered a ruttling in a thicket at no great distance; but could not discover the object that occasioned it; Supposing it, however, to be a deer, he fired—the shot took place—he eagerly approached the spot—but oh! the shock, the heart-rending pangs which a fight of the unfortunate Victim who had fallen occasioned, can be more easily imagined than described—it was Porter! his relative! his friend! his Sister's Husband lay weltering in his gore! and the cold hand of death soon placed a seal upon his eyes. To add to the melancholy catastrophe, Mrs. Porter is bereaved of a fond and indulgent Husband; and eight Children, of a tender and affectionate parent.
Lexington, October 20.
On Sunday the 12th inst. at Col. Calmes, in Woodford county, Mr. Asael Batterton was stabbed in the belly, by one of his neighbors a German, of which wound he died the Tuesday following—The German is secured in Woodford jail.
John Turner, who was sentenced to two years confinement and hard labor in the jail and penitentiary house, at the late Lexington District court, and who was committed accordingly, a few days ago made his escape; and after being absent some time, returned and delivered himself up to his confinement again.
BY YESTERDAY'S MAIL.
NEW-YORK, September 27.
IMPORTANT!
Last evening came up the pilot boat Deliverance, on board of which was a pilot who brought into the quarantine ground an English Schooner in a very short passage from Martinique.
The captain of this Schooner, informed this pilot of the taking of Curaccoa by the French.
This was effected by troops which embarked on board of 150 sail of sloops & Schooners at Guadaloupe. On their approaching the port of Curaccoa, a chain was ran across the harbour, which prevented their entering, but they soon effected a landing on some part of the island, advanced to the city, and after a bloody conflict, the French got possession of the place.
The captain further states, that the United States brig Pickering, was in the harbour at the time, and joined with other Americans in defending the place against the French, who, when they conquered massacred every American in the place, including the consul, officers and crew of the Pickering.
The pilot further adds, that he was informed that the reason of this armament being fitted out against Curaccoa, was, because the Governor of Curaccoa would not receive bills on the Governor of Guadaloupe for the expenses incurred in repairing the Vengeance.
September 29.
Preliminaries of Peace between the Emperor of Germany and the French Republic are at length concluded. They were signed at Paris on the 29th July by the Count St. Julien and M. Talleyrand. They wait only for the Emperor's ratification, which it was expected would arrive by the 10th August. There were some important circumstances attending this business, not generally known:—"The Count did not sign the Preliminaries until after he had made repeated & very urgent applications that Great-Britain might be included in the general peace. The Ex-Bishop was as pertinacious in resisting this proposition; observing, "that the Chief Consul could not permit the French armies to remain inactive during the summer under the absolute uncertainty of the issue of negotiations, which would doubtless be protracted by admitting Great-Britain to become a party to them." It was under these circumstances that the Count St. Julien signed the Preliminaries; and Citizen Duroc was directed to accompany him to Vienna in order to obtain the ratification of his Imperial Majesty. It was added that any delay in the final accomplishment of this business would be considered as a refusal. It was understood that Duroc was empowered to communicate with Moreau, who, in case of necessity, would give the stipulated notice to the Austrian General of the cessation of the armistice.
An armed neutrality, which has for its object to check the ambition of the two great rival powers, France and England, should the war between them continue, is concerting, and will be organized with all possible expedition. Prussia, Russia, Sweden, Denmark and Spain, are at the head of this confederacy. Meanwhile they are exerting all their influence to procure the peace of the continent at least, if not of all in Europe.
BOSTON, September 27.
Yesterday the brig Two Brothers, captain Bradford, arrived here, in the short passage of 36 days from St. Sebastians, in Spain. By this arrival, Paris papers to August 12th, and letters from St. Sebastians to the 21st August, have been received.—They state, that the Negotiation at Paris, had not been wholly broken off but had been necessarily suspended:—That the envoys had been on the point of embarking for the United States in company with two French commissioners; but captain Bradford acquaints us, that on the day he left St. Sebastians, (August 21st) he was informed, that the negotiation had recommenced, and that there was then a prospect of a favorable issue to them. In corroboration of this, Mr. Campbell, who has arrived at New-York in the Hazard, from England, & who left Paris the 1st August, informs, that the envoys had been on the eve of departure; but that they had received a request from Buonaparte to tarry a few days longer.
In contradiction, however, of this, we have in our possession a letter from a respectable merchant at St. Sebastians, dated the 20th of August, 1800, which says; "By recent letters from Paris, we learn the negotiations between the French and American governments has broken off, and the American envoys who were at Paris on the business, have departed."
August 29.
Yesterday arrived in this port, the ship Superb, Capt. Trail, in forty days from London.—We have been politely favored with papers to August 11th from which we have only time to select the following interesting information: considering it the most important, as it relates to the progress of the negotiations between this country and France.
No one fact of moment had occurred at these dates respecting the great question of War or Peace on the Continent. Some circumstantial events, such as the departure of Duroc, Aid de Camp to the First Consul and Count St. Julien for Vienna; the Prussian Ministers ordering the supplies for the army of observation not to be extended beyond three months, appears to have considerably raised the hope of peace, and the funds had raised in consequence. It appears however, that very active negotiations were in train and that the populace in Vienna were loud in their clamours for the termination of so destructive a War, which they manifested in the theatres and on all public occasions.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
ON THE VANITY OF YOUTHFUL HOPES.
IN life's gay morn, what vivid hues Adorn the animating views, By flattering fancy drawn? No forms with gloomy aspect rise, To cloud the azure of the skies, No mists obscure the dawn.
With looks invariably gay, Young expectation points the way To ever blissful shades, Where odors scent the breath of morn, Where roses bloom without a thorn, And music fills the glades.
Enraptur'd with the distant view, Youth thinks its fictions beauties true, And springs the prize to gain; His grasp the gay allusion flies: Experience thus the cheat defies, And proves his hopes were vain.
ANECDOTE.
In 1376, Philip II. sent the young constable de Castille to Rome, to congratulate Sextus V. on his advancement to the Holy See. The Pope imprudently said, "Are there so few men in Spain, that your King sends me one without a Beard?" "Sire," said the Spaniard, "if his majesty had possessed the least idea, that you imagined merit lay in a Beard, he would, doubtless, have deputing a Goat to you, and not a Gentleman."
I GIVE notice to gentlemen who have been customers to my horse BLAZE, and those who wish to breed from him, that I mean to move him from this state next season, unless they will come forward and enter their mares to the amount of 150, at 50. payable on note at Christmas in whiskey delivered in Lexington at market price, or Flour delivered in Frankfort at market price, or note for twelve dollars for the season, or seven the single leap, paid at Christmas 1801. I find money very scarce and difficult to collect, is the reason I wish to move him, the indulgence I have given has caused me to suffer much for money.

Just received from Lee & Co's. Patent and Family Medicine Store, Baltimore, and for sale by MACBEAN & POYZER, at the Store formerly occupied by Mr. Robert Barr, Lexington, the following Valuable
MEDICINES: HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES,
Which have, within eighteen months past, given relief to upwards of FIFTY THOUSAND PERSONS, of all ages, in various dangerous complaints, arising from worms and from foulness or obstruction in the stomach and bowels.
A peculiar excellence of this remedy is, its being suited to every age and constitution: contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is so mild in its operation, that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old, should no worms exist in the body—but will without pain or griping cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders.
Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Tares 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 fecid 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—Excessive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms, should have immediate recourse to HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness, having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
RECENT CURES,
SELECTED FROM SEVERAL HUNDREDS. MICHAEL DUFFY, residing at No. 57, Wilkes street, Fell's Point, city of Baltimore, voluntarily maketh oath, that the following statement is just and true.
In the beginning of May last, my three children, a boy of seven, and two girls, the one five, and the other three years of age, were taken very ill, nearly at the same time, of a common fever, as I then supposed, but was soon convinced the disorder was caused by worms; they were frequently troubled with convulsion fits, and violent startings in their sleep, and with almost continual vomiting and purging, particularly the youngest. I made immediate application to a physician of the first reputation, and his medicines were administered with a confidence of success which only increased our disappointment. The children grew daily worse, and I was absolutely without hopes of their recovery—The youngest one appeared almost devoid of animation, and scarcely an inhabitant of this world. In this distressing moment I was told that Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges had performed many cures in cases equally desperate. I immediately purchased a box, and gave each of them a dose, which in a few hours produced the most desirable effects; the eldest vomited a great number of very large worms, and the second thousands of small ones, many of them not a quarter of an inch long; in the youngest they seemed to be confused, and had the appearance of skins, of a slimy matter. I repeated the dose agreeably to the paper of directions, and they all speedily recovered a good state of health, which they still enjoy, though five months have nearly elapsed since they were on the borders of the grave, and the death of the whole appeared to be inevitable.
Sworn before me, this 26th day of September, 1799. J. SMITH.
INFALLIBLE AGUE AND FEVER DROPS,
For the cure of Agues, remittent and 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 a hundred has had occasion to take more than one, and numbers not half a bottle.
These drops are particularly recommended to the inhabitants of low marshy countries, where the worst sort of agues generally prevail, which unless early attended to and speedily removed, injures the constitution exceedingly, and brings on dropsies, putrid fevers, and a variety of complaints, of the most dangerous and alarming nature. Many other medicines are daily offered to the public for the cure of this disorder, which, upon trial have been found either dangerous or useless. The bark is the usual remedy made use of, but being a very nausous medicine, and seldom taken in sufficient quantity, it very often fails; and children, and those who have weak stomachs, are frequently lost for want of a more easy and pleasant remedy.
THE SOVEREIGN OINTMENT FOR THE ITCH,
Which is warranted an infallible remedy at one application, and may be used with the most perfect safety by pregnant women, or on infants a week old, not containing a particle of mercury, or any dangerous ingredient whatever, and is not accompanied with that tormenting smart, which attends the application of other remedies.
PREVENTION BETTER THAN CURE.
For the prevention and cure of Billious and Malignant Fevers, is recommended
DR. HAHN'S ANTI-BILLIOUS 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—sickens at the stomach and severe head ache—and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
THE GENUINE ESSENCE AND EXTRACT OF MUSTARD,
For the cure of Rheumatism, Gout, Palsy, Sprains, White Swellings, &c. and has performed more cures in the above complaints, than all the other medicines ever before made public.
DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, obstinate Coughs, Asthmas, and approaching Consumptions, and is far superior to any other medicine for the WHOOPING COUGH.
INDIAN VEGETABLE SPECIFIC,
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 unskillful or excessive 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. speedily 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.
