HAPPY DISCOVERY. A certain Cure for that alarming and dreadful Disorder The Yellow Fever. As well as any other dangerous fever, fever and ague, and other intermitting and complicated diseases, by the use of the
POUDRE UNIQUE. WELL known and patented in England, France, Poland, and all the capital cities in Europe, where the most astonishing cures have been effected on persons judged incurable by all physicians. In a Treatise printed in London, on the properties of this powder, by T. Seymour, M. D. late Physician to his Majesty, there are three hundred cases, where this most valuable remedy has proved infallible, in all kind of fevers, pleurisy, blood flux, intermitting rheumatism, sciatica, apoplexy, paralysis, yellow jaundice, ringworm, worms in children and in grown persons, white, chronic head and stomach aches, hepatic and nephritis or stone cholic, the king's evil, scurvy and the most intractable and complicated general disorders. It is likewise the best preparative for the small-pox and measles; of the greatest utility for young as well as for elder ladies at the critical epoch of their life. The efficacy of this powder in several of the above diseases has been discovered by chance, and so it has been in the yellow fever last year, by Mr. Mahy, who cured several by administering only one of the said powders, and lost not a single patient which he undertook to cure, as proved and attested by the hereannexed certificates, whose original may be seen at Andrew Halleg's umbrella Shop, No. 131, corner of Chestnut and Fourth streets, the only place where these powders are to be had, with proper directions for the use of them—Price two dollars. The usefulness and certainty of this remedy being so great for so many dangerous disorders, any person willing to be provided with those powders, will please to apply very soon, as the quantity at hand is not very large, and it is doubtful if for a long time, or if even any other source will be imported, the secret remaining only in the hands of the inventors, in Europe, and never being communicated to, or discovered by any other person. N. B. In the yellow and putrid fevers, this powder must be taken the second, or at least the third day. We the subscribers, during the late sickness in this city, having taken the yellow fever, applied to Mr. Mahy for his medical assistance, we do hereby certify, that by a certain powder, called the Poudre Unique, we were perfectly recovered from the said fatal sickness, and from an experience of the happy effects of the above most valuable medicine, consider it our duty to make the same known, for the benefit of our fellow citizens.
Margaret Jones, Mylne O'Connor, Jesse Turner, Christian Rebecca Dow, Catherine Apple, Ann Grover, William Bill, David Williams, carpenter, William T. Donaldson, mad-maker. Mr. Mahy's well known Plaintiff, for all kind of wounds and sores, to be had at the above direction, No. 131, Chestnut Street. August 8. 1798.
ANOTHER STRONG PROOF Of the great and unparalleled efficacy of DR. CHURCH'S COUGH DROPS, In the Cure of Coughs, Colds, Asthma & Consumption. New-York, July 10, 1798. To Dr. Church,
Sir, For upwards of Twelve Years, I have labored under a severe Cough, shortness of breath spitting of matter from my lungs and often of clotted blood, till at length I was so reduced as to be unable to walk across my room, and owing to the violence of my cough and the shortness of breath could get no rest day or night—Hearing of your excellent medicine, the Cough Drops, I procured a bottle; I took a dose as soon as I got it, from which I found instantaneous relief, and by continuing it for three days, I bled God I am restored to perfect health. As I believe you to have been the instrument in the hands of Providence, of saving my life, I must intreat you to publish this for the benefit of any who may be in my situation, as I am confident it is one of the best medicines in the world for those complaints. I am, Sir, your grateful servant NICHOLAS ST. AGG, Little Robinson-street. CHURCH'S COUGH DROPS. Are prepared and sold by the Inventor and sole proprietor, Dr. CHURCH, at his Dispensary, Washington-street, New-York, and at his office, No 1, South Third-street, Philadelphia, and sold by appointment at Mr. Weedman's 118 William-street, and Stillwell & DeForest, 162 Pearl-street, New-York. Manlius, Albany, Price, Baltimore, Thomas, Alexandria, Wilson, Wilmington, &c. &c.
O B S E R V E. As a counterfeit preparation of this medicine has been industriously circulated through some of the principal cities in the United States, persons are requested to purchase them of such persons only as have Dr Church's appointment for vending the same. Powers, Roughkeepsie—Chappel, Head of Elk—Bond and Co. New-castle—Heimrich, Lancaster—Blauvelt, Brunswick—(N. J.)

EXTRACTS FROM LATE LONDON PAPERS.
SICKNESS AND MORTALITY IN NAVIES AND ARMIES.
FROM the year 1742 to 1748, during the war in Flanders, 32,246 sick were admitted into the hospitals, of which 3,563 died, or in the proportion of one in nine.
The navy and army, employed at Carthagena, moulder'd away to nothing. During the last German war, from July 1758, to January, 1763, the whole number of men sent from England to the Continent, including recruits, amounted nearly to 24,250 of whom 14,256 were at different times sick.
During the late war, when the combined fleets of France and Spain made a bravado of anchoring in Torbay, the remitting fever and dysentery raged with such violence on board, that if the grand fleet of England had attacked them, it is more than probable the greater part would have been captured.
Of the army employed for the defence of Jamaica, during the American war, there perished in less than four years, 3,500 men, or one in four; and the number of discharged men amounted to 1,750, or one in eight.
The fleets under the command of the gallant lord Rodney, was very sickly in the West Indies. Dr. Blaine, who was physician to it, says, that in three years and three months, 3,200 died, or about two in five.
The Health Office is kept open night and day, at the City Hall, where every necessary convenience is procured for removing the sick and burying the dead. WILLIAM ALLEN, Health Office, September 29.
During the late war between the Austrians and Russians against the Turks, the mortality was immense. The Austrians alone lost 100,000 men by sickness. Henry V. embarked 60,000 men from Southampton, on August 13, 1415.
ALEXANDRIA.
Alexandria, built by Alexander the Great, from whence it had its name, vied almost in magnificence with the ancient cities of Egypt.
It is well known, that the East India trade has at all times enriched those who carried it on. This was the chief fountain of the vast treasures, that Solomon amassed, and which enabled him to build the magnificent temple of Jerusalem.
For the convenience of trade, there was built near Alexandria, in an island called Pharos, a tower which bore the same name.
During the late war, when the combined fleets of France and Spain made a bravado of anchoring in Torbay, the remitting fever and dysentery raged with such violence on board, that if the grand fleet of England had attacked them, it is more than probable the greater part would have been captured.
Of the army employed for the defence of Jamaica, during the American war, there perished in less than four years, 3,500 men, or one in four; and the number of discharged men amounted to 1,750, or one in eight.
The fleets under the command of the gallant lord Rodney, was very sickly in the West Indies. Dr. Blaine, who was physician to it, says, that in three years and three months, 3,200 died, or about two in five.
The Health Office is kept open night and day, at the City Hall, where every necessary convenience is procured for removing the sick and burying the dead. WILLIAM ALLEN, Health Office, September 29.

Late Foreign News.
LONDON, September 14. We now know that our fleet has been so unfortunate as to be taken by that of the French. Admiral Nelson, after a fruitless cruise of twenty-seven days, between Messina and Alexandria, without seeing or being able to hear of the French fleet, returned on the 19th of July to Syracuse in Sicily.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 10.

Mills, Portage, &c. TO BE LEASED FOR A TERM OF YEARS.
To be leased, for a term not less than three, nor more than seven years, a VALUABLE PROPERTY at the Seneca-Falls, in the county of Onondaga, a short distance from New-York, on the Banks of the Seneca-river, two miles west of the Cayuga-ferry, and eleven miles east of Geneva.
This establishment consists of an excellent grist mill, saw mill, dwelling house, barn, and a portage on the carrying place, with between thirty and forty acres of land, under good improvement, and as much more in the vicinity, as may be required for future improvement.
The grist mill is a handsome, new and well finished building, of 50 by 30 feet, 3 stories high, furnished with a run of excellent Burr stones and another of Ropus stones, of the best quality, and the most approved mills, &c. calculated to make all the different qualities of flour for exportation or for home consumption.
The saw mill is also new, situated on the same stream, new furnished with an ample flock of logs, of which a supply may at all times be procured by land or water, of the best quality.
The dwelling house is well calculated for the use of the miller, is new, and sufficiently large. The barn is about 40 feet square, and entirely new. The portage is 3.75 of a mile in length, along the Seneca-river, over which were pulled in the last year, nearly two hundred boats with their contents.
Among the many advantages of this situation, must be numbered the fertility of the surrounding country—being the best improved part of the county of Onondaga—the concentration of interest by land and water, the Genesee River passing through it, as well as all water carriage to Geneva, and the counties of Ontario and Steuben; which renders it a most eligible stand for a Store or Tavern.
For terms of sale or lease, apply to Mr. WILHELMUS MYNARDE, at the Seneca Falls, or to the subscriber, at Schenectady.
