Poetry.
TO JULIA.
WELL, Julia, if to love and live, 'Mid all the pleasures love can give, Be crimes that bring damnation; You - you and I, have giv'n such scope To loves and joys, we scarce can hope, In heav'n, the least salvation!
And yet, I think, did heav'n design, That blisses dear, like your's and mine, Should be our own undoing; It had not made my soul so warm, Nor giv'n you such a witching form, To bid me dote on ruin!
Then wipe away that timid tear; Sweet truant! you have nought to fear, Though you were whelm'd in sin; Stand but at heav'n's gate awhile, And you so like an angel smile, They can't but let you in.
THE POOR MARINER.
O GOD! have mercy at this dreadful hour On the poor mariner! in comfort here Safe shelter'd as I am, I almost fear The Blast that rages with resistless power, What were it now to toss upon the waves; The madden'd waves, and know no succour near; The howling of the storm alone to hear, And the wild sea that to the tempest raves; To gaze amid the horrors of the night And only see the billows' gleaming light! Amid the dread of death to think of her, Who as she listens sleepless to the gale, Puts up a silent prayer and waxes pale! O God have mercy on the mariner!
Miscellany.
GENERAL EATON.
The public are anxious to learn some par- ticulars of their countryman, who has re- cently acquired so much fame in Africa - We understand he is a native of the western part of this State, (Brimfield) and has a wife and family there, or in Vermont. He was educated on the savings of his pay as a soldier in the revolutionary army, at Dart- mouth College; and graduated about the year 1793. He was a Captain in the U. S. service, at Gen. St. Clair's defeat near the Miami, where he signalled his courage. President Washington appointed him Con- sul to Tunis, where he discharged his duty with zeal and ability. When the expelled Bashaw of Tripoli (Sadi Hamet Caramanli) applied to the United States, through Com- modore Morris, for assistance in recover- ing the throne usurped by his brother; and promising on his part would the U. States advance 50,000 dollars, and 20,000 pounds of arms, &c. and co-operate with their fleet, he would if successful, make an advantageous peace with the U. S. A correspondence on the subject passed be- tween the Secretary of State (Mr. Madison) and Mr. Eaton, who made known his pro- ject. The project was afterwards sanction- ed by government, and Mr. Eaton com- missioned to co-operation with the exiled Bashaw. The consequence is known.

Female Soldier. - A curious circumstance occurred lately at Dumfries. One of the fencibles, quartered in that town, was dis- covered to be a woman, after having been 13 months in the service. The discovery was made by the tailor, when he was try- ing on the new cloaths. It is remarkable that she had concealed her sex so long, con- sidering she always slept with a comrade and sometimes with two. She went by the name of John Nicholson (her real name being Jane Clarke) and, strange as it may appear, was esteemed a wag among the la- sses. It is even said, that she had caused a lass at Dumfries to fall in love with her; but who, since the discovery, is perfectly cured. London Paper.
A gentleman in distress, lately wrote the following letter to his friend: I am now reduced to a single penny, a single shirt, a single coat, a single sheet to my bed, a single rap at the door of an old acquaint- ance; and I have only a single consolation, that I am a single man, and that I have a single friend in you.
Political.
From the Philadelphia Register.
TO HENRY DEARBORN, Esq'R.
SECRETARY AT WAR.
SIR,
ALTHO you are only responsible in a secondary degree, yet your late creation of an office without the authority of law, your affixing a salary of two thousand dollars a year to that office, and your appointment of a person to fill it, whose claims to public patronage are still to be ascertained, require and must receive investigation.
Under what presumption you have cre- ated that office - under what recommenda- tion you have filled it - and whether, a- gainst the general legal provisions, for re- gulating offices of that nature, it has been given to, and accepted by a person actual- ly engaged in private commerce, will be the subjects of a future enquiry.
If by creating the office of principal A- gent of Indian Supplies, it should appear, as on enquiry it certainly must, that the exe- cutive branch has assumed the legislative powers of the government, it will belong to the two houses of congress to correct the procedure. It may be only necessary, at present, to shew that the interesting and immediate duties, within his authorised sphere of action, might at this time have found full employment even for the active and capacious mind of Secretary Dearborn.
On the eve of foreign hostility, and un- der the scourge of actual aggression, it was to have been presumed that the military de- fences of the nation would have obtained a preference of official attention, and by ful- ly occupying your leisure, have prevented unauthorised, or extra-official proceedings.
Has this been the case - Have the defen- ces of our harbours been improved, by the erection of new, or the repair of decayed, works? - Have the magazines and arsenals been examined, and deficiencies supplied?
Have furnaces been prepared, and fixed ammunition provided? - Has a single mea- sure been taken to repel the sudden descent, or to resist the regular attack, of an ene- my? - Are the garrisons on the sea board strengthened? - Or has the attention of the administration been exclusively confin- ed to the wilderness?
Has the war office dwindled into an In- dian-ware-house - and are the duties of that important department limited to the pur- chase of beads and wampum - and the ex- portation of furs and peltry? Are its func- tions fulfilled by innovation, which do not merely strike at the provisions of the consti- tution, in the assumption of a power to create offices, and affix salaries, as high as two thousand dollars per annum - but must the first exercise of such offices be attended with ruin to certain classes of our manufacturing citizens?
If the executive may so far presume on the condescension of the legislature to ra- tify their acts, as to create offices and annex salaries, it would better comport with the professed system of economy at once to delegate the law making power and save both the congressional stipends and the mi- leage.
PROBUS.
From the Litchfield Monitor.
It is a very common enquiry among fed- eralists, What will be the final issue of the bitter controversies among the democrats? - When we reflect, that is not long since that we have seen Duane's Aurora filled with the unceasing praises of M c Kean, Dallas, Gallatin, and others, and that he now tells us that they are a parcel of the most aristocratic scoundrels that exist on the globe; that the crimes of federalists are mere puny mole-hills compared with their monstrous mountains of guilt, - we are yet to conclude that some good may come of all this - we think of the maxim, "When rogues fall out, honest men come by their right." Duane now declares that M c Kean is an old tyrant, - an enemy to the liberties of the people, and that he always knew this to be the case: - That Dallas is an unprin- cipled villain, that has embezzled the pub- lic money to a great amount; and this he also knew when he was making every ex- ertion in his favor: - That Gallatin was engaged in the whiskey insurrection, - and that Tench Coxe piloted the British army into Philadelphia during the war - and all this was known to this same Duane at the time, his paper reamed with the most un- bounded praises of these very men.
When we find M c Kean and his party
in their turn, charging Duane, Snyder, and their party, with every folly that can render men despicable, and every vice that can render them hateful: When we find them in their publications admit that they always knew Duane, the man who raised Jefferson to the presidential chair, was a ra- cal, - that they knew it when they employ- ed him to write against the Federalists, - that he was among the basest of men: - to use their own words, that "he was be- meared with mire and filth," - that he had no quality that was valuable, except that he could make falsehood appear like truth and truth like falsehood; and for this pur- pose they hired him. They acknowledge, that they knew that the crimes charged by this fellow upon the federalists, were the vilest calumnies; and that they frequently blushed upon reading them, trembling lest the lies should be detected before they had wrested the Government out of the hands of the Federalists. When we thus see de- mocracy exposed to public view by her de- votees, - when we see her stripped naked, with not a single rag to cover her, - appear- ing the ugly deformed haggard that she is; - we are apt to conclude, that the illusion which has darkened the understandings of our countrymen will vanish: - That they will again return to correct sentiments. But this is not the ordinary course of things; and why it is not, may be easily learnt if we attend to the state of society, in any coun- try, which has been corrupted by dema- gogues. The mass of their followers at length become radically corrupt, and in love with vice.
What prospect of good is there to the community, in the event of either party's prevailing in Pennsylvania if the stories re- lated of each other are true? Many of them the federalists have long since known to be true, before the democrats betrayed each other. As to other facts which they relate, which are new, it will be remembered, that they were once jointly engaged in the work of wickedness; that they perfectly knew each others se- crets; and it has always been held, in courts of Justice, that partakers of crimes are com- petent witnesses against each other.
An horrible exhibition has been made of the rank corruption amongst the leading de- mocrats, by their recriminations upon each other. As long as they shall be able to hold the people in chains, by false pretensions of friendship, - when men will not learn, that the pretences of profligate men, of friendship to the people, is the deepest hy- pocrisy; - when the examples of former republics will have no influence, all of which, with a single exception, have fallen vic- tims to the arts of demagogues, - who ren- dered the people jealous of their faithful rulers, and then procured for themselves a misplaced confidence, - and when oppor- tunity presented seized upon the Government, overthrew every republican institution, and on their ruins established a Tyranny. - When this is the case, we have the utmost reason to conclude, that the progress of things will be from bad to worse, until the catastrophe of absolute despotism takes place, - when some villain, bolder than the rest, supported by the profligate lea- ders of democracy, shall be crowned Em- peror of Columbia. In that day it will be seen, that these Sham-Patriots, these won- drous Friends of the People, will cringe and creep around the footstool of their Monarch, barking in the ignoble sunshine of Royalty, yet meanly trembling at its frowns.
My Federal Countrymen, let M c Kean and Snyder contend as much as they please; and whether Dallas or Duane should prove the most expert in cutting throats, you have no interest in the business - They are the hawk and the snake. Never hope that any third party will arise with whom you can join; It can never be the case until Virtue and Vice have changed their natures. PLINY.

PARIS, JULY 2.
The warlike preparation on the coasts of the channel still shews the bustle of activi- ty. From 150,000 to 200,000 men are in daily motion: - and 2000 floating machines are ready to waft them to their destina- tion.
Admiral De Winter commands in Chief the expedition in the Texel. 16,000 men are encamped near Amsterdam, ready to march or embark.

MANTUA, JUNE 17. This day, the Emperor Napoleon, King of Italy, arrived at Legnano. He immediately mounted on horseback, and inspected the fortifications. He was expected here; and the continual rain did not prevent our inhabitants waiting until 9 o'clock, in the evening, to hail the arrival of the Saviour of his country.
Her Majesty the Empress arrived at 9 o'clock; and was received with those transports her presence always inspires.
FLORENCE, JUNE 14. —Lucca, as well as Lucca, are to be united with the new kingdom of Italy—Bonaparte intends to make many other changes in Italy. To facilitate the changes, the Republic of Lucca has applied to Bonaparte for a new Constitution, and requests the honor of being governed by a member of his family. Bonaparte has undertaken to pay all the pensions due to the officers and household of the late Duke of Parma, amounting to about 100,000 livers per month. The pay of the French garrison at Leghorn has been diminished by 150,000 livers per month. Bonaparte promises that the subsidy for the maintenance of those troops shall be discontinued, as soon as England acknowledges the kingdom of Etruria. Between the Etrurian and French governments an exchange of territory is about to take place. Etruria is to cede to France the district of Orbitella, and a part of the valley of Cecina, bordering on the Dutchy of Urbina, receiving in exchange the Republic of Lucca, with the dutches of Massa and Carrara.
VERONA, JUNE 17. To-morrow our august Monarch goes to Genoa.—After visiting his new departments of Liguria he will proceed to Turin. The Empress follows her august consort. The Imperial Ministers accompany his Majesty. We are also honored with the august presence of H: Most Serene Highness the Arch Treasurer of the Empire.
LEYDEN, JUNE 2.
The hopes of the English, at Constantinople, to form triple alliance between Great-Britain, Russia and the Porte, are disappointed. Russia will co-operate for a general peace.
The Court Novosiltsef, the Russian Envoy Extraordinary from the Russian Emperor to the Emperor Napoleon, has arrived at Berlin; where he has had a conference with Mr. Jackson the British envoy. The Russian will immediately proceed on his mission—whatever it may be—to the Court of Bonaparte.

Melancholly Accident. —On the 15th August Mr. Ellis Damon, of Hanover, in this state, who had contracted to erect a Monument* on Boon Island, off York harbor, failed from this harbor, with seven hands, and the materials for the building, in a Hingham Packet, accompanied by the U. S. Revenue Cutter—On the 17th, the materials were landed; and on the 25th the work was completed; at which time there was such a heavy surf running as to prevent the Cutter's boat from taking off the people.—On the 27th, the surf having abated, and the People being in want of water, an attempt was made to take them off, by backing the Cutter's boat towards the rocks:—Mr. Damon, two young men, named Chubbuck, and a young son of Mr. Damon, got on board the boat; but in attempting to take another on board, the boat was, hove on the rocks, where she hung until the next sea, which upset her, and put the whole ten in number, into the breakers:—where Mr. Damon and the two Chubbucks, were unfortunately drowned. The rest escaped on the rocks. Capt. Williams, in the cutter, seeing the situation of the People on shore, with the two people left with him, hove up, and run over to Cape Neddock, procured two boats, and some hands; and on the 28th took off all the people. By this time, Mr. Lincoln, the mate of the Cutter had repaired the boat; and the remainder of Mr. Damon's people, and the Cutter's crew, safely arrived here in her, on Friday last.—The bodies of the two young men (Chubbucks), washed ashore on Boon Island, and were buried there. The body of Mr. Damon was taken up, in Ipswich-Bay about three leagues from Plumb Island, on Saturday last carried to Newburyport, and decently interred on Sunday. His papers containing a plan of the Monument, and a contract with Gen. Lincoln, for building it, are in the possession of the Coroner, at Newburyport.—Mr. Damon is well known, as an industrious, worthy citizen an ingenious mechanic, and valuable member of society.
*This monument, is an octagon edifice, 40 feet high.
By a list of the Post Offices in the United States, just published, there appears to be fifteen hundred and seventy-seven offices.
"Infatuate man seeking through blood and slaughter his long lost liberty."
A letter, said to be received at Baltimore, from a gentleman in Savannah (Geo.) dated on the 12th Aug. states. 'That the negroes had shewn evident signs of an insurrection—and had began poisoning a number of the white inhabitants. Thirteen of them had been committed to Waynesborough jail; the greater part of whom were under sentence of death—they had already burnt one alive, hanged two, besides a number who received punishments according to their deserts. The number of robberies and burglaries were daily increasing.'
It appears, by accounts lately received that the Spaniards have issued orders to their privateers, to take and send in all American vessels bound to Gibraltar ;—which they affect to hold besieged.
Gen. Moreau , previous to his leaving Philadelphia , for his residence at Morrisville , was respectfully waited on by the principal inhabitants of that city, and most cordially welcomed to the shores of America. A public and very sumptuous dinner is to be given to this distinguished character, in Philad. in the course of next month.
Hanover, August 30.
Last Wednesday was the anniversary Commencement at Dartmouth University. At 11 o'clock, A. M. the procession formed in front of the president's house, from which place, preceded by the richness of music, it moved directly to the meeting house, where, after the audience were provided with seats the president commenced the exercises of the day, by an eloquent, solemn and impressive prayer. This was succeeded by the following performances.
A Salutary Oration in Latin , on the Dignity of Man, by Francis Brown .
An Oration on the Fine Arts, by Benjamin D. Emerson .

The degree of Doctor of Laws was conferred on his Excellency, John Langdon, Governor of Newhampshire—on the Hon. Wm. Patterson, associate Judge of the Supreme Court of the United States—also on the Hon. Stephen R. Bradley.
Then followed an oration, on the mutual influence of the Arts and Sciences upon each other and on society, accompanied with the Valedictory Addresses, by William Hayes.
After the President had concluded the exercises in the meeting house by a concise address to the Throne of Grace, the procession formed and moved to a place, where a public entertainment had been provided for gentlemen of liberal education and public character.
It is a tribute due to rising merit and improved genius to observe, that the literary exhibitions of the day were generally composed with a good share of classical elegance and pronounced in a manner, satisfactory and highly gratifying to a numerous and enlightened audience.
Portland,
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1805.
London papers to July 16 have been received, by arrivals at Newyork, but they make no mention of any late operation of the powers at war.
Bonaparte appears to be more engaged in organizing kingdoms and crowning kings under him than in the invasion of England, tho' the farce is still kept up.
In our last, we had the pleasure of announcing to our readers, the liberation of our countrymen from Tripoline captivity; since which, the information has been confirmed by the arrival of capt. Simonds, from Gibraltar.
The Eastern Mail, which was lost or stolen from the stage coach on Tuesday night last, was found on Wednesday, in the great pasture at Salem; the postman had been opened, but what part of its contents are missing has not been ascertained—This is the second time the mail has been lost between Salem and Boston.
Indians. —A Baltimore paper mentions two Indians of the Chickasaw tribe having arrived in that city, on their way to New-York—we could mention that nearly one hundred of the Penobscot tribe have arrived in this town in the course of the last week; and it is much to be wished they were on their way to the same place for they are very troublesome here.
From Newyork, Sept. 3.
IMPORTANT. —The following important information, was received from Mr. Hartford, of Darien, Georgia: "Intelligence has reached this place that an English fleet of nine sail of the line, with frigates and transports are at anchor in the mouth of St. John's river, and that their object is the conquest of Florida. The Spaniards are exceedingly alarmed, and all is bustle and confusion."
Extraordinary Case.
At the Supreme Judicial Court which was held in Portland, in May last, Solomon Wolcot, Timothy Wolcot, and John Wolcot, were indicted for breaking open the shop of Daniel Cash, of Minot, with an intent to steal, and for stealing from thence, a quantity of goods, to the amount of about one hundred dollars.—They were tried at the said Court, and Timothy Wolcot was acquitted, but Solomon and John were found guilty.—Solomon, the father of the other two, was sentenced to sit upon the gallows, to be whipped, and to be confined to hard labor for the term of two years. John received the like sentence, except that he was to be confined to hard labor for one year only. They were convicted upon the testimony of Cash, principally. A number of persons who heard the trial were so dissatisfied with the verdict, that they signed a petition to the Governor for a pardon or remission of part of the sentence; and it is said the Judge himself, who presided at the trial, so far countenanced the petition, that we are told His Excellency on his interference has remitted the most infamous part—viz. setting on the gallows and whipping. Timothy Wolcot, who was acquitted, having since heard that a man by the name of Daniel Variel, was knowing to the business, applied to him, and was informed by him that Cash broke open the store himself, and employed him to assist him and take the goods; and one day last week, said Timothy Wolcot, and Variel made complaint thereof before Justice Freeman, who issued a warrant for apprehending Cash to answer for the crime of Perjury. He was accordingly apprehended, and a time assigned for the examination, which was last Friday, at ten o'clock A. M. at which time Cash appeared, and a number of witnesses, who with the said Timothy and Daniel, were summoned to give information thereon; but Variel, who was the principal, and indeed the only witness that could support the charge, absconded; and although a warrant was issued for bringing him to testify and answer for his contempt, he could not be found; and after waiting until six o'clock in the afternoon, the Justice thought proper not to hold Cash in custody any longer, and he and the other witnesses were accordingly discharged.—As the sentiments of the people upon this subject are different, we think it not proper to make any observations.
Cash appears to be a man of decent manners and conversation.
BOWDOIN COLLEGE.
On Tuesday last, being the third anniversary of the Commencement of Bowdoin College, the Trustees and Overseers assembled at Brunswick and several specimens of the improvement of the Students were exhibited to a small but respectable audience.
No parade was designed, it being the wish of the governors of the College, that this first exhibition should not be very public. Those however, who were so fortunate as to be present, were highly gratified and somewhat surprised at the very manly and sensible compositions of the young Gentlemen concerned in the performances of the day. Their stile of Oratory was animated and correct, free from that frippery which is so frequently esteemed ornamental & which has hitherto been considered essential to college oratory. Upon the whole, the writer of this
who has seen many brilliant commencements at Cambridge, believes from the specimens exhibited last Tuesday, that the first grand commencement at Brunswick, which will be in September, 1806, will afford a strong marks of improvement in science, and in polished oratory, as that antient and respectable feminary will exhibit.
The sickness of President McKean, caused some of the intended performances to be omitted. Several select pieces were performed by an excellent band of music, and the whole business of the day was conducted much to the satisfaction of the Governors of the College and of the Spectators.
Several articles prepared for this days paper, unavoidably omitted till our ext.

I must have some fowls!" The captain remonstrated against this ungenerous demand, as he had not completed his fare, but in vain—his fowls were also taken into the boat by the lieutenant, who declared the money for the articles should be remitted immediately.

For Bilious Complaints. Dr. Lee's (Genuine) Windham Bilious Pills. PREPARED by SAMUEL LEE, jun. of Windham, (Conn.)—The usefulness and importance of these Pills, at this season of the year, when epidemic diseases are too prevalent, and when most constitutions, from predisposition and infectious atmosphere, are inclined to yellow, bilious, and inflammatory fevers, have been verified by an experience of more than twelve years. The proprietor, in consequence of the uncommon good effects of his pills and the reputation they had gained in his practice, was urged by his friends to have them patented. He at length consented: and in April, 179, he obtained from the President of the U. States his Letters Patent. These were the first Pills ever patented in America, and their peculiar effects on the prevailing diseases in the United States and the W. Indies soon gave them that celebrity which their intrinsic virtue merited. The fame of Lee's Pill, and the ready sale they so universally met, were truly a powerful temptation to pretenders, and very soon Bilious Pills, uttered into market, from all parts of the union. Some of the most clamorous of pill makers found great advantage from familiarity of names, and were for a while able to pass their compositions upon the public, as the true, genuine, original Lee's Pills, and some have even had the effrontery to pretend to an originality in the pill business; but an acknowledgment of late, that the face of their wares have become small and circumscribed, is conclusive evidence that the public have been taught by experience to be cautious how they purchase drastic preparations, merely on account of the presumption and effrontery of the author. It is now more than eight years since I obtained my patent; and the insatiable demand for my pills, which has been, and is daily increasing, is a convincing proof of their superior virtues and salutary effects. I have no objection to the world being supplied with abundance of pills, but a conviction that the people have a right to correct information has induced me to come forward and state these facts. That the purchasers may be certain that they get the right kind; they will be particular to enquire for Lee's (Windham) Bilious Pill—and to observe that my name be attached to each bill of direction, in my own hand writing. They are for sale at most of the Druggist Stores in the city of New-York. SAMUEL LEE, Jr. Patentee, of the Windham Bilious Pills. Windham, (Conn.)

To the honorable Senate and honorable House of Representatives, in General Court convened, at Boston, on the last Wednesday of May, current.
THE undersigned delegates from the towns of Fryeburg, Brownfield, Porterfield, and Lovell, respectfully represent—that deeply impressed with a sense of the justice and impartiality of this honorable Court, they deem it their right and duty, at all times, to make known their grievances, and petition for a redress of the same—That the formation and confirmation of the new county of Oxford, are extremely detrimental to your petitioners—that said county, was formed agreeable to the wishes of its projectors, contrary to the interest of your petitioners and all others in the western part of said county, and without their knowledge or consent—that, although an order of notice had issued for dividing the county of York, at the fourth line of Lovell, about thirty miles from Great Ossipee river, (the fourth line of the county of Oxford) and the Court of General Sessions for the county of York had appointed agents to object to said division, unless it should be at said Ossipee river, yet relying on the uniformity of procedure of this honorable Legislature and believing that in other cases, even of much less importance, a division could not be effected till notice had been ordered and published, nor then contrary to said notice—your petitioners expected that no division unless at the said fourth line of Lovell, could be made, till after notice had been given to all concerned; and therefore considering objections made, before notice, premature, relied assured, that nothing could be done to their injury—That, if notice had been given, of the intended formation of a new county according to the model of the county of Oxford, well founded and powerful objections might have been made; and in all probability would have convinced this honorable court, of the impropriety of such a measure. Your petitioners lamenting their calamitous situation, and reposing full confidence in this honorable court, do therefore pray your honors, to establish Fryeburg a half share town, in and for said county of Oxford, and that the October term of the Court of Common Pleas and General Sessions of the Peace may be held at said Fryeburg, instead of Paris; and as in duty bound will ever pray.

PATENT MEDICINES. IMPROVED JAUNDICE BITTERS, or the Grand Anti-Bilious Corrective—Prepared by David Denni- son, at his Dispensary, No. 231, Oxford Road, Lon- don. Under the patronage of the first Physicians in Europe and America.
THIS preparation combines all the good qualities of every medicine of the kind ever offered to the public; the botanical characters of the ingredients, of which it is composed, has long attracted the notice of the faculty, and under various formulas unequivocally received the undivided sanction of successful experi- ment.—It is greatly antiphlogistic and particularly effect- ual in correcting and preventing the pertinacity of bile; it has also been employed with great success, in very dangerous epidemic fevers. It not only cleanses the prima viæ, but likewise gently warms the habit and quickens circulation, is particularly serviceable in hab- itual costiveness, in cases of phlegmatic temperament and sedentary life, when the stomach is oppressed and weakened. This elegant bitter may be successfully ap- plied to answer almost every purpose, particularly in loss of appetite, when the stomach is foul and disorder- ed by irregularities; the secretions are gently prom- oted, and a plentiful perspiration produced; in some plaints of the jaundice this remedy is unequalled; the stomach is fortified and strengthened, and digestion effectually promoted; such a medicine is useful at all seasons, but particularly in the spring, by removing those sleepy melancholy sensations so unpleasant to the patient; the natural consequences of the approach of warm weather, upon bilious habits.—Price 3/6 per Box.
WHEATSON'S JAUNDICE BITTERS. THE successful effects of which have been fully ex- perienced, in correcting and carrying off jaundice and bilious matter from the stomach; and at the same time strengthening the stomach, increasing the appetite, and removing the sinking, faint, distressed feeling, and the sleepy dull heaviness; restoring also, strength to the weak and trembling limbs; removing the yellow- ness of countenance common to jaundice and weakly people; and also the dizziness of the head, & weakness of sight. They are very useful for seamen to take of- ten when at sea, particularly in warm climates, as a preservative against disorders so incident to such cli- mates (which are generally putrid and bilious) by re- moving obstructions, carrying off bile and giving a free circulation to the blood.—Price 2/6 per box. WHEATSON'S ITCH OINTMENT. A safe and efficacious remedy for the ITCH—Price 1/6 per box.

For Sale, at T. CLARK'S Bookstore, Fish-Street, Portland—(Price 50 Cents per Box) DR. NORTHRUP'S NEW INVENTED BITTERS, FOR THE JAUNDICE, and all BILLIOUS COM- PLAINTS.—Prepared in New York
DIFFERENT from the patent medicines in general, that cure all diseases, this will not cure all, but it will certainly cure some, especially those that arise from a wrong distribution of the bile, which being ef- fected is the greatest preventative to all diseases, and most conducive to health; it being an excellent pre- ventative against noxious vapors, unhealthy rooms, and infectious diseases. The medicine that has nothing but high swelling words to recommend it to sale, ought not to be sold.
The elixir of health, the elixir of life, the elixir of grace, &c. all have their virtues, but none of them will cure all the diseases of the human body—This is the elixir of nature, the plain, natural produce of the earth, collected from trees, roots, plants, flowers, &c. —It is founded on medical principles, a most safe and effectual remedy against the jaundice and all those fa- tal disorders in the bowels, occasioned thereby, which carry off such a number of the human species. If a dose were given once or twice a day to all children, especially when they are teething, you might thereby prevent many disorders the bowels are liable to, by carrying off that crude matter which frequently oc- casions them, the bad effects whereof are often mani- fested by worms, rickets, convulsions, or other fatal symptoms, by strengthening the stomach and bowels causing good, laudable chyle, and thereby establishing a good constitution.
The author having been long in the study and prac- tice of phyic, of a weakly constitution, much trou- bled with bilious habits, not able to find a medicine that would correct the bile and carry off the jaundice, has made it his constant study in the course of his practice, to observe and find out by experiments a remedy for a disease so prevalent in these States, as well as in the West-Indies and other warm climates, to which he and others are so much exposed, and by repeated trials of sweet, sour and bitter things, of those that were colic or astringent, those that were physical or purgative, diuretic and diaphoretic; those that would strengthen, invigorate, and give a high tone to the stomach, bowels and body, as opiates, &c. &c. or those that would moderate, relax, reduce and calm the constitution, as sedatives. By trying them different ways with other ingredients, with different persons, at different times, in great variety of propor- tions, both simple and compound; has at last hit up- on a compound of proper articles in a just proportion, that he will recommend as an absolute cure for the jaundice, and certainly to prevent and gradually to carry off and cure all those diseases that arise from bilious matter collected in the stomach, said to pro- ceed from the overflowing of the gall; but actually, arise from indigestion, viz. All kinds of nausea, squeamish sickness, puking, belching, hiccuping, heart- burn, sour stomach, sleepy, dull, heavy feelings, pres- sure and distress of the vitals, with faintness, weakness, want of appetite, dim sight, dizziness, &c.
All these diseases and many more of the nervous kind, such as melancholy, dejection, hectic complaints, all hypochondriac and hysteric complaints, with pains in the head, sides, stomach, palsy, rheumatism, drop- sies and low spirits, which arise from obstructions of morbid matter in the intestines, stomach and bowels, crudities and fumes of indigestion, which these bitters will actually remove—They in a remarkable degree promote digestion, by opening the prima viæ and clear- ing the first passages, create a natural appetite, correct the bile, strengthen the coats of the stomach, and there- by supersede the necessity of any other phyic—No one need be afraid to take them. They are a pure cordial for the weakest stomach. They promote an easy digestion, and by increasing the dose, prove moderately physical, by which means they regulate relaxes, dyseteries, &c. By clearing and keeping off all considerations of the bowels they prevent those disagreeable thoughts as well as feelings, that commonly arise from colic habits. They are recommended to all hypochondriacs and splenetic people, as their complaints arise from each- exy, inaction or want of nourishment, by constantly tak- ing those they will find their appetite return, their mind more at ease, and their whole body invigorated. Likewise to students, sedentary persons, and all val- etudinarians, for they take away that fiery and intox- icating quality of the rum that is always injurious.
It is the most sovereign vermifuge, the most effect- ual cure for worms that ever came into practice, and ought to be kept in every family of children if for no other purpose. e.o.p.m. July 29.
