It is a foreign, speedy and effectual remedy in Head Aches Catarrhs Shortness of breath Ticklings in the throat Tightness in the chest Hooping Cough Sore Throats Wheezings Congealed Phlegm Spitting of blood Soreness of the breast & Stomach, &c. &c.

AFFIDAVIT. City of New-York, ss. William McCloaghan, resident of Gibb's alley, in the city of New-York, cooper, voluntary maketh oath that he was severely afflicted with a consumption for upwards of 18 years, that he laboured under the most inexpressible affliction with a violent cough and shortness of breath, that he could not lie down in his bed for weeks together, but was obliged to be propped up by pillows or in an arm chair, and in the day time unable to attend his business; that at length he was so reduced and wasted away, as to be scarce able to walk at all; that he had tried the skill of many respectable medical men, and has expended a very considerable sum of money, and has taken a great deal of medicines without effect. That at last he despaired of ever getting cured, till he, through recommendation, took Dr. Church's cough drops, from which he found very present relief, and by persevering in the use of them, he is now perfectly restored to health, and has had no return or symptom of his disorder since

Sworn to before me this 29th day of May, 1799. Jacob De La Montagne, Alderman.
Copy of a Letter from capt. Henry.
Dear Sir, In the year '95, I had the misfortune to break a blood vessel, which was succeeded by a severe complaint on my lungs, cough, shortness of breath and spitting up of matter and blood, with every her disagreeable symptom of a disorder of the lungs; indeed to officiating was this disorder, that I could not rest at night, nor could walk 200 yards in the day, without dropping to cough and rest myself a number of times. This disorder continued to increase upon me, till I was much wasted in body, and exceedingly weak. Seeing your advertisements in the public papers, early in the last summer, I commenced taking your justly celebrated Cough Drops, which I persevered in the use of, for sometime; I have now the happiness of informing you, my lungs are perfectly found; I have no shortness of breath, or spitting up of matter or blood; my cough is a little troublesome in the morning, but no other time. I am Sir, Your's every respectfully, WILLIAM HENRY. Garden Street. New-York, April 3, 1799.

IN compliance with the instructions of the Committee for watering the city, and with my own inclinations, every possible admittance and information has been given to those citizens who have visited the Works during their progress. The Engines are now arrived, and are immediately to be put up, and it is hoped that it will be thought reasonable and just, both to the Public, and to the Contractor for the Engines, that the workmen should not be interrupted. As a very few months will fully gratify the curiosity of the citizens, by shewing them the Engines in full operation, a temporary exclusion of all visitors from the Engine house cannot appear improper.

The Gazette.
PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 20.
No paper will be issued from this office, on Saturday;—on account of the General Ceremonies in honor of Gen. Washington.
Through the kindness of an obliging friend in Europe, we have received by the Compt. at Baltimore, and an arrival at Charleston, from St. Sebastian's, files of Paris Journals for the month of November. The following articles are translated from them.
PARIS, November 28.
The Barbets continue their ravages in the department of the maritime Alps; they are protected by the Royalists, and massacre the republicans.
In the sitting of the "Legislative Commission of the Council of Ancients," on the 24th November, the central administrations of Yonne and Charente, the judges of the civil tribunal of Siene and Oise, the citizens of the commune of Laon, felicitated the commission on the triumph of Buonaparte.
The commission approved the resolution of yesterday, which opens to the minister of the interior a credit of eight millions.
It is a mistake that General Champoinet is already on his return to Paris. We had yesterday news from him still dated in Italy. It is not indeed as favorable as we might have expected from the conqueror of the kingdom of Naples; and it appears that in quitting the army of Italy, he will have some reverses to be repaired.
Champoinet is succeeded in the command of the army of Italy by St. Cyr.
By order of the Consuls, all theatrical pieces relative to the affair of St. Cloud, (the triumph of Buonaparte) have been forbidden.
There runs a report, that the Archduke has set out suddenly for Vienna. It is added, that in passing by Augsburg, he did not see Suwarow.
Grofseland Dorimon, one of the excluded deputies, imprisoned in the Temple, has been set at liberty.
Every one builds a constitution after his own fashion, every one gives us his dreams for realities: some preserve the three consuls, others establish a President and Vice-President; now they divide France into twenty-five confederate states, and now into fifty departments; this scheme re-establishes the intendents and the sub-delegates, that one suppresses the central and municipal administrations; such an one announces a Grand Elector who shall have no other function than to appoint to all offices without the right of delitulation: he is to hold what they call the folio of benefices. Such another converts the Legislative Body into two chambers; the one composed of two hundred representatives shall discuss the laws, of which the Executive Power shall have the origination; the other, composed of one hundred Senators, shall approve or reject these laws without discussion, only by yes or no. They speak also of a constitutional jury which shall pronounce in a supreme manner upon all disputes relating to the Constitution; they still speak of counsellors of state, of the introduction of ministers into the Legislative body, of the necessity of having a certain revenue to be eligible to either chamber, or even to be entitled to the privilege of voting; they speak of causing the constitution to be received by the people without presenting it to the Legislative Body; they speak after this of dissolving the present councils in order to establish councils conformable to the new constitution. We give this merely as the tenor of private conversations, for we are still ignorant of the basis of the social contract they are preparing for us: the legislative committees have decreed nothing as yet in regard to that object; it is probable in the mean time that we shall know ere fifteen days to what to attach ourselves, and without doubt we shall have some details upon the principal dispositions of our political regeneration.

An ignorant and incompetent man having assumed upon himself to write a Life of General Washington, we are happy in having it in our power to state that a work of this nature is likely soon to be undertaken by a Gentleman of talents and learning adequate to so important and interesting a task; and who will also possess the advantage of a recourse to the official papers of the departed Hero.
We are authorized in making this statement, by a Letter from the Legatee of the papers of General Washington, wherein that Gentleman mentions several circumstances which will probably forbid him from attempting it; but trusts that the selection of a fit character may be in his power, which he shall endeavor to make immediately.
Mr. A. Dickens, an enterprising young man, is about re-publishing Two Sermons preached by Doctor Ogden of Newark, on the Death of General Washington. These Sermons are particularly valuable, as they record many interesting circumstances in the life of that illustrious man, which, we believe, will be new to the mass of readers. As a Bookseller, Mr. Dickens merits countenance and applause.
A stated meeting of the American Philosophical Society, will be held at their Hall, to-morrow evening, at 6 o'clock. Samuel H. Smith, Sec'y. Feb. 20.

THEATRE.
Last evening, was performed to a very fashionable audience, another new thing from the famous pen of the old Illuminatus. As the Play Bills told us that the production had been revised, and adapted to the American stage, we expected to have found it pruned at least of many highly exceptionable parts which nevertheless were all repeated. Indeed, it is difficult to discern any appearance of what we hope must yet be deemed an adaptation to the American stage. A scantling of the French Revolution is, indeed, introduced, in that scene where a rabble of foreign citizens is assembled, for the purpose of murdering the Governor, and a little Child, and where their orators harangue them from the head of an hoghead. If it is meant that this part of the business should be considered as adapted to the American stage and of course held up for an example, then, I think they had better given us the play as it came from the hands of Kotzebue, without infusing us with this adaptation. The piece is crowded with invective against Priests, with the crimes of nobility, and common place declamation against War; and is as highly fraught with the tenets of the School of Weisheit as any production that has heretofore invaded us from this vile source.
TALEYRAND.
Citizen Talleyrand has lately displayed at Paris, trait of duplicity and finesse . On the 23d, there appeared in a journal, under the immediate direction of Talleyrand, the following paragraph and letter:
"Citizen Talleyrand, sincerely afflicted at finding the name of citizen Jorry included in the list of those who were affected by the decree of the 26th Brumaire, has just written to the minister of the police a letter which breathes the purest and most delicate sentiment."
LETTER
Of Citizen Talleyrand, to the Minister of the Police.
"I have read, Citizen Minister, with much anxiety, the name of Jorry in the list of those sentenced to banishment. Jorry is a very young man, whose errors are more entitled to indulgence, than deserving of rigorous treatment. He is now in the service of the republic in the army of Italy. Perhaps even at this moment, when the operation of the law extends to him, it is anticipated by the blow of the enemy. Perhaps his name is honoured by the wounds he may have received, or by a patriotic death."
"It is incumbent on me to add, that Jorry having, as far as I know, offended none but myself, I think I have peculiar right to offer these observations to your notice; and, I confess, that feeling the utmost desire to have the offence forgotten by all the world, as it is by me, I shall receive as a personal favour the exception which I now solicit, and which I entreat you to request of the Consuls of the republic."
This letter, which bears every mark of candour, was written when Talleyrand was acquainted with the death of Jorry!!!
NEW-YORK, February 19.
Capt. Fitch of the brig Two Sisters, from Savannah, came up to town last evening in a pilot boat. He informs that the ship Shepherds, Rogers, from that port is below; also the brig Appollo, Burnham, and brig Eliza, Swain, from Savannah, are below, within the Hook, and the brig John, Henderson, from Cork, in 60 days.
Savannah, Feb. 4.
A gentleman direct from Fort Wilkinson, mentions that Col. Hawkins left there on the 24th ult. for the Creek nation.
Extract of a letter from Col. Hawkins, agent of the United States for Indian Affairs, to Governor Jackson, dated Coweta Tal-low-hat-che, 20th Dec. 1799.
"I have not till the present had an opportunity to acknowledge the receipt of your excellency's favor of the 13th November, which was delivered me on the road to Tuckabatchee, and I cannot reply to the whole as I could. The documents herewith inclosed will exhibit to you some interesting proceedings in this quarter, and are an apology for the omission."
The National Council was convened at Tuckabatchee on the 24 Nov. the meeting has been a very interesting one: I had much conversation with the chiefs, and felt that as an agent, I possessed their confidence in a high degree. The Chiefs have agreed that all mischief makers and thieves of any country of white people, shall be under the government of the agent for Indian affairs.
Mr. Bowles is near the mouth of this river, from whence he continues to pour forth his threat against the officers of the United States in this department, and I continue my arrangements to punish all thieves and mischief makers. We have punished in an exemplary manner the leader of the banditti, who insulted the commissioners of Spain and the United States, on the 17th of Sept.—he was cropped, whipped, and his property destroyed, and three of his associates whipped. We have had one white man whipped for negro stealing, and one negro shot thro' the arm and in the thigh, for resisting those who were sent to apprehend him, and attempting to fire on a white man.
I have sent down one negro belonging to Mr. Wynn, and have in my possession one belonging to Mrs. McIntosh, one to Capt. Marcus, and one to Charles Ingram; this fellow is the one who is wounded. These negroes will be delivered to the order of their owners, or be sent down by the first conveyance.
I find it an arduous undertaking with a few assistants to make the impressions I wish
en the minds of my red charge, who are scattered over a wild country of at least 300 miles square. Bowles and other mischief makers, are by every opportunity poisoning the minds of the Indians with their abominable lies and misrepresentations. In the present conjuncture I receive and reciprocate with peculiar pleasure, the assurance of future co-operation on the part of your excellency, to promote harmony and to preserve peace. The period may be eventually a very interesting one for your frontiers."
BALTIMORE, February 18.
FIRE
Was yesterday morning, about sun-rise, discovered bursting from the cabin of the ship Mohawk, of Philadelphia, lying at Baker's wharf, Fell's Point. The fire originated from the stove, which being placed in the ceiling, it is supposed a spark communicated to the wainscot pannels. Happily it gained no considerable height before it was discovered and extinguished; had the fire but touched the rigging of the vessel, a dreadful conflagration must have been the consequence, for the Mohawk is surrounded by a great number of vessels, all of which are ice-bound.

TO THE People of Northampton County.
Friends and Fellow Citizens.
AFTER having served you nearly 23 years in the offices of Register for the Probate of Wills, and Recorder of Deeds, as also a great part of that time as Clerk of the Orphan's Court; I am now dismissed from those appointments, by the Governor you have lately elected, for reasons best known to himself.
I hope you will pardon the intrusion of this address, when I remind you of the whole tenor of my public life, of which the senior part of you have been witnesses, and a number of you my companions in toil and danger.
The first dawn of fair prospects for me seemed to justify that opinion, when in March 1777, the Legislature of this state appointed me to the offices I lately held; by accepting thereof, out of gratitude I suspended my just claim to solicit a pension on account of my disability.
This line of conduct, when the spirit of revolution, as well in religion as in government, began to pervade various parts of the earth, soon made me the object of hatred to those who were hostile to the peace and prosperity of their country, and the government of their own choice.
Thus situated, previous to the last election, the present Governor, and Mr. James Ross, were put in nomination for the high and important office of Chief Magistrate of the Commonwealth, with both of whom I had acquired a personal acquaintance, in those public bodies to which you had elected men, and learnt to know their respective worth and abilities.
announce my being in waiting, and request permission to see him. My friend cheerfully complied with my request; but imagine how I was amazed with the treatment of the man, who was held up to you as the Palladium of Liberty, the Patron of Equality, the plain Republican, easy of access, when he behaved like a man void of feeling, or common civility, by denying me admission to his presence.
Now my fellow citizens, make a contrast between the conduct of our late Governor Mifflin, and that of your late choice. Was there not also an opposition to the election of the former; do you remember an instance of his official vengeance against his opponents?
Now look to the conduct of Mr. M'Kean. His first public declaration that we have heard was his answer to an address presented to him on his election. Therein, among many ungenerous, false, and unmanly epithets, he calls his opponents "traitors, Tories, refugees," &c. &c.
Thus we see a lyse introduced, which in my humble opinion gives a mortal wound to that liberty which is so dear to us all, I mean the freedom of election. For if the Governor is right, all monies however respectable for number or character, must be wrong and punishable.
To bring the matter nearer home: Suppose there are two or more candidate for the office of sheriff amongst us, who stand nearly equal in public esteem, the success of either may appear dubious before the election, what would you think of him who gets the office, if he would like our republican governor or call the minority "traitors, refugees, Tories, French aristocrats, British agents, or apostate nobles," and exert all his official authority for their destruction?
An inevitable consequence follows this system of extermination: every man holding an office in the state dependant on the will of the executive (of whom there are a great many, and who generally are, or ought to be men of good information and character) is at once cut off, not only from dispersing his influence and diffusing his information, for the benefit and light of his fellow citizens, but even from his own vote.
Now my friends, fellow citizens and countrymen, I bid you an official and affectionate adieu. If during any part of my official conduct I have unknowingly and unintentionally given any of you just cause of offence, I then ask your pardon.
My German brethren, Let me particularly address myself to you on this occasion, a serious and distressing one to me. United to you by the ties of our common ancestry—by the remembrance of their common country—by the force of a common language, I fondly look for a peculiar sympathy from you in my sufferings.
who obtained so many suffrages from them should make a victim of your old friend, and always diligent servant.
JOHN ARNDT, late Register, Recorder, and Clerk of the Orphan's Court, for Northampton County. Easton, February 6, 1800.
CONGRESS. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
WEDNESDAY, February 19. Mr. Varnum presented a petition of Thomas Frothingham, of Charlestown, Mass. praying compensation for property destroyed during the Revolutionary War.
Referred to the Committee of Claims. On motion of Mr. Gallatin, the petitions of a number of the inhabitants of the four Western Counties of Pennsylvania, heretofore presented, and the report of the Secretary of War, and Committee of Claims thereon, made the second session of the fifth Congress, were referred to the Committee of Claims.
Mr. D. Foster, from the Committee of Claims, to whom were referred the petition of Moffs Gill, Esq. who prayed for the payment of 8,400 dollars of loan office certificates, and interest thereon, issued by the state of Georgia, which had been rejected at the Treasury as not constituting a claim against the United States.
The report of the Committee, and of the Secretary of the Treasury were committed to a Committee of the whole House for Monday next.
The third reading of the Bankrupt Bill was further postponed till to-morrow—and The House took into consideration the report of the Committee of the whole on the Bill further to suspend the Commercial Intercourse between the U. States and France and the dependencies thereof.
The following section was reported to be struck out by the Committee, viz.
Sec. 7. And be it further enacted, That the whole of the island of Hispaniola, shall, for the purposes of this act, be considered as a dependency of the French Republic. Provided, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to repeal or annul in any part, the order or proclamation of the President of the United States, heretofore issued for permitting Commercial Intercourse with certain ports of that island.
This section was opposed yesterday by Messrs. Nicholas, Livingston, and Harper on the ground that we had no right to determine, to whom the jurisdiction belonged—that also it had been ceded by Spain to France, yet the latter had never taken possession—and it might possibly be, by some secret article, re-conveyed to Spain; and therefore France would never have possession of the whole of this island.
It was answered by Messrs. Smith and Sewall, that no possible offence could be taken at the expressions used in the section, since they were only intended to operate as to the provisions of this act—that Spain often prohibited our intercourse with the Colonies, without a supposition of giving offence to us, and we ourselves had an equal right of prohibiting our citizens from going to these Colonies, whenever it was good policy to do so—that although Spain had not actually given up the Government of Hispaniola to France, yet their influence there was very great, and they had equally as much command as though no Spanish Government existed—and that it might be in the power of France to take possession of the whole of the island at any time, which, for political purposes, they probably now declined to do.
Upon the question for concurring with the committee in striking out the section, there were ayes 42, noes 48—and the section, consequently, retained.
The question upon the salary to be allowed the consul or public agent of the United States, residing in any such port, who is restricted from trade, was then taken, and 3,000 dollars agreed to, 50 members rising in favor of it.
Mr. Harper moved to amend the first part of the following section, by striking out the words in italic . viz.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That "excepting for foreign ships or vessels, owned, hired, and employed by persons permanently residing in [foreign countries, and without the limits of the United States,] and commanded and wholly navigated by foreigners," no clearance for a foreign voyage shall be granted, unless bonds be given the shall not proceed to a French port, &c.
Messrs. Harper, Walu, J. Brown, and Champlin, spoke in favour of the motion; and messrs. Smith, Eggleston, Varnum, Randolph, H. Lee and Gallatin, against it—when the question was taken by Yeas and Nays, as follows:
YEAS. Messrs. Bartlett, Brace, J. Brown, Champlin, Coop-r. Craik, Dana, J. Davenport, F. Davenport, Edmond, Evans, A. Foster, D. Foster, Freeman, Glen, C. Goodrich, E. Goodrich, Gray, Griswold, Harper, Henderson, Imlay, Kittera, S. Lee, Lyman, Otis, Page, Pinckney, Powell, Reed, Rutledge, Sewall, Shepherd, Thatcher, R. Thomas, Wadsworth, Walu, L. Williams, Woods.—39.
NOES. Messrs. Alston, Baer, Bailey, Bird, Bishop, R. Brown, Cabell, Christie, Clay, Claiborne, Condit, Davis, Dawson, Dent, Dickson, Eggleston, Elmendorf, Fowler, Gallatin, Goode, Gregg, Gove, Hanua, Hartley, Heister, Hill, Holmes, Jones, Kitchell, H. Lee, Leib, Lyon, Lynn, Livingston, Macon, Marshall, Morris, Muhlenberg, New, Nicholas, Nott, Randolph, Smilie, Smith, Spaight, Stanford, Stone, Sumpter, Taliaferro, J. Thomas, Thompson, A. Trige, J. Trigg, Van Cortlandt, Varnum, R. Williams.—56.
Mr. Walu then moved to amend the section by striking out the words within crotchets and inserting "Europe," in order to prevent fraud by our citizens being made burghers of St. Thomas in the West-Indies, and being thereby enabled to transfer their right of property as well as citizenship, to carry on a direct intercourse with the French islands.
Mr. Gallatin opposed this amendment, and contended it would not answer the purposes intended.
The question was decided by yeas and nays. Yeas 56—Nays 46.
The bill was then ordered to be engrossed and read a third time to-morrow—58 members voting in favour of it.
Mr. Harrill from the committee appointed to enquire whether any, and if any, what alterations are necessary to be made in the law authorising the sale of lands N. W. of the river Ohio, made a report, recommending the adoption of a resolution for leasing all the salt springs and licks, the property of the United States, in that territory, which springs are now worked to advantage by sundry adventurers.
The report was committed to a committee of the whole House and made the order of the day for Thursday.—Adjourned.
Baltimore, Feb. 17. Arrived Schooner Scorpion, captain Sarenson; sailed from Port Republican, 24th January, 1800, in company with 12 sail under convoy of the U. S. Schooner Experiment; parted with the fleet and convoy a little below the point of St. Marks, in the bite of Leogane; on the 28th was boarded by the United States frigate Constitution, commodore Talbot and detained six hours, and received dispatches for government and dismissed.
Captain Sarenson gives the following list of Baltimore vessels arrived at Port Republican
Brig Betsy, Chatfield, master, Sch. Buckskin, Capt. James, Phillips, Reynolds, Eagle, Carlow, Stanley, Brig Mary, Hall, Jane, of Philadelphia, Peggy, of do. Mackford.
Sailed in company with the Scorpion for Baltimore, Milford, of do. captain Waters.
The brig Betsy, Capt. Blackwell, was boarded off Cape Maize, by the United States frigate Constitution, Capt. Talbot. The Constitution was cruising for a French ship of war expected from the windward bound to Havana.
Arrived at Annapolis on Friday evening, ship Carlisle, Capt. Bryden, from Liverpool, which place she left on the 7th December.
From the Carlisle's log book. October 25, on our passage to Liverpool, fell in with a British man of war, of 74 guns with a fleet under her convoy, consisting of 30 sail; we went under the lee of the man of war and hailed him; saw the English and French coasts the next day, about seven o'clock, P. M. and a number of vessels in sight.
January 30, about 7 o'clock, P. M. saw an English sloop of war of 19 eighteen pounders; at 7 A. M. she came up with us and fired two guns at us, which we returned with our stern chasers, and then we hailed him, asked where bound, answered to Jamaica; but he was bound to Newfoundland; he came on board of us with his boat, looked at our papers, and let us proceed.
January 28, at 2 A. M. saw a sail about one quarter of a mile distant; which kept on her course till she got right astern of us, then tacked about and gave chase to us, and came up with us; but squalls commencing at the time, she was obliged to heave to altern, and when she was coming the third time, we hoisted our colours and gave her a shot, then she came a little closer, hoisted French colors and gave us a shot; and at ten minutes past 4 A. M. commenced a hot action on both sides till half past 5, A. M. when she bore away from along side of us, but chased us till dark, and then altered her course; she had upwards of 60 or 70 men, on board, had three guns, and a great number of small arms; we only had one man wounded, though the shot flew like hail about our ears, and every broadside we gave her, we could perceive did great execution; we saw the would not venture again and we made sail.
Left Liverpool the 7th of December in company with the ship Fabius, of Norfolk, captain Black; when we made Fayal, (one of the Western Islands) we left him. In lat 24, 00, long 66, 00, fell in with a French privateer, who engaged us an hour and 25 minutes, within pistol shot the whole time, and sometimes closer; I supposed her to be just come out, as she was quite clean and had not less than 60 men on board; she kept a constant firing on us with small arms under our quarter, so that we could only get our stern chasers to bear on her, until she came up with an intention to board us; but he met with too warm a re-
ception, and thought proper to sheer off with the loss of about 20 or 30 of his men, and her fore mast and rigging about their ears; I am happy to say that our officers and men behaved like brave Americans during the whole action, and I have only to lament the loss of one man who died of his wounds next day.

A POEM,
Sacred to the memory of
GENERAL WASHINGTON.
By Richard Alsop.
AMONG the excellent Eulogies on the character of this illustrious man, we presume it will be highly gratifying to the people of the United States to learn, that the task has been undertaken in verse, by a Poet of such distinguished genius as Mr. Alsop.
Why on this day, when erst in smiles array'd, Each cheerful men the signs of joy display'd, Why founds yon passing knell in accents slow, And strings each heart in unison of woe, Why drops yon veteran soldier's hoary head, His honest pride, his wonted ardour fled? These marks of woe no private loss cause, No private grief the tea from millions draws; But all a guardian friend, and fire deplore— THE GREAT THE IMMORTAL WASHINGTON'S NO MORE.
The above Poetical Eulogy will be for sale, on Saturday the 23rd of this month, at the Bookstore of William Young, corner of Chestnut and Second Streets, Philadelphia. Feb. 20.

Just received and for Sale, By Wm. Y. BIRCH, Stationer, No. 17, South Second Street, Dr. HAMILTON'S Genuine Essence and Extract of MUSTARD.MUSTARD.
A SAFE AND EFFECTUAL REMEDY. For acute and chronic rheumatism, gout, palsy, lumbago, numbness, white swellings, chilblains, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. &c.
The experience of many ages and the testi- mony of the ablest medical practitioners, from an early period to the present time, agree in ascribing to mustard, every powerful and singu- lar virtue—in every case where the necessity of stimulating remedies are indicated, while the inflammatory state of the system forbids the use of medicines of a heating quality, mustard is eminently useful, and vastly superior to any other drug.
The essence and extract of mustard contain the whole virtues of the plant concentrated in a small compass, entirely devoid of that acrimo- ny which renders its external application so inconvenient in a crude state, likewise rejecting those inert and useless parts which compose the chief of its bulk, and render the necessary dose so large as to be extremely nauseating to the stomach, by which means every inconvenience is obviated in these medicines.
This valuable remedy is prepared both in a fluid state and in pills, and thus excellently adapted for external and internal use.
The pills operate mildly by urine and by in- sensible perspiration, expelling the superfluous and morbid humours; they are highly cordial to the stomach, create appetite, assist digestion, removing flying pains, and cold or windy com- plaints in the stomach and bowels.
The essence is a wonderful assistant to the pills in rheumatism, gout, lumbago and palsy, and by its peculiar penetrating and dispensing quality, removes the most violent sprains, bruises, numbness, stiffness of the neck, joints, &c. swelled faces, head ache, indurated breasts, white swellings, frozen limbs, &c. and will in- fallibly prevent the ill effects of getting wet or damp in the feet.
Many persons have been much disappointed by purchasing medicines under the name of Essence of Mustard, which have no analogy whatever to this remedy; some of these prepara- tions are perfectly inert, others produce the most violent and dangerous effects, and are such to be guarded against.
CASES OF CURES, Selected from a numerous list.
From Capt. Dovers, Arch-street, Philadel- phia.
As you think it will be useful, you are at liberty to publish my testimony in favor of Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard. I have been about four years much afflicted with the rheumatism in my shoulders, and sometimes so violently affected as to prevent me from moving my arms, and I was never free from severe pain in some part or other. I have been at much expence, and tried a good deal of medicine to no purpose; I purchased a bottle of drops, advertised under a title similar to your medicine, but experi- enced the most excruciating smart from its application, which obliged me to desist.— At length I was advised by Dr. Bires to try Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard, from which I found immediate relief, and by the use of three boxes and two bottles, I have recovered a state of perfect health and strength—I shall take a good supply to sea, and never be without so valuable a medicine in my possession.
I am, &c. I. R. DAWES.
Mr. Henry Reese, Butcher, proprietor of No. 24. Centre Market-House, Baltimore.
Sir, About two months ago, your valuable medicine proved of singular service to me, I was not able to move from my room for upwards of a fortnight, with a rheumatism or rheumatic gout, in my left foot and ankle; when Dr. Buchanan recommended the Es- sence of Mustard, as the only medicine to be de-pended on, and directed me where to procure it, and by using less than a quarter of a bottle and a few of the Pills, I was able to ride to market next day, and have been perfectly free from my complaint ever since.
HENRY REESE. January 4, 1800.
Mrs. Mary McCrea, wife of Mr. George McCrea, grocer, Bond-street, Fell's Point, was perfectly cured (by persevering in the use of Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard) of a rheumatic complaint of eleven years standing. The greatest part of last winter she was unable to dress or undress without assistance, she had the best medical advice both in Europe and America without effect.
From Mr. Charles Willets, Plaisterer, Platt street, Baltimore.
Sir, I send you the particulars of my cure by Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard, that you may make it known for the benefit of others. About two months ago I strained my right knee so violently by a fall that I was unable to walk without a crutch. I tried British oil, Opodeldoc and other medi- cines, but grew considerably worse, and the part became inflamed and swelled to a con- siderable degree, when I was recommended to the Essence of Mustard, and by using two bottles I was able to walk in less than a week, and am now as hearty as ever.
CHARLES WILLETS. Dec. 20.
HAMILTON'S GRAND RESTORATIVE, WHICH the inventor confidently recommends as an invaluable medicine for the speedy relief, and permanent cure of various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures—juvenile indiscretions— residence in climates unfavorable to the constitution— the immediate use of tea, frequent intoxication— or any other destructive intemperance—the unskil- ful or excessive use of Mercury—the disease pecu- liar to females at a certain period of life, bad lying in, &c.
And is proved by long experience to be unparalleled
In the cure of nervous disorders, consumptions, losses of spirits, loss of appetite, impurity of the blood, hysterical affections, inward weak- nesses, violent cramps in the stomach and back, indigestion, melancholy, gout in the stomach, pains in the limbs, relaxations, involuntary emissions, seminal weakness, obstinate plebs, fluor albus, (or whites) impotency, barrenness, &c. &c.
This medicine is perfectly different in its qua- lities and operation from those hot and irri- tating drugs so frequently proposed for similar purposes, and which only recommend them- selves by the dangerous rapidity of their effects, and which acting as a temporary but violent stimulus on the nervous system, infallibly pro- duce greater evils than those they are inten- ded to remove.
The principal operation of this remedy is in the stomach, restoring the digestive powers, and sending from that organ new health and vigor into every part of the system; it enriches and purifies the blood without enlivening it, braces without stimulating too violently the nervous system; strengthens the secretory vessels and general habit; brings back the colour to the face, and restores the system to its natural and healthy state, and restores that nutrition which has been destroyed, and whose loss had thrown the whole frame into languor and debility.
The restorative is absolutely above all recom- mendation in removing those weaknesses and infirmities with which many females are afflicted, the consequences of difficult and painful la- bors, or of injudicious treatment therein.
The most obstinate seminal gleets, and the most distressing cases of fluor albus in females, fall particularly under the province of this re- storative, speedily yield to its benign operation, and are radically cured, by correcting and pu- rifying the acrimonious humours, restoring a proper degree of tension to the relaxed fibres, strengthening the weakened organs.
In cases of extremity where the long preva- lence 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 medi- cine has performed the most astonishing cures.
The grand restorative is prepared in pills as well as in a fluid form, which assists consider- ably in producing a gradual and lasting effect.— Their virtues remain unimpaired for years in any climate.
Persons wishing to procure any of the above medicines genuine, must apply only as above —and likewise observe that the signature of LEE & Co. (the general agents for the United States) is pasted on the outside of each, without which they cannot be genuine.
At the above place may likewise be had Ha- milton's justly celebrated Worm Lozenges, the infallible Itch Ointment, Dr. Leroux's Indian Vegetable Specific for Venereal Complaints, Ague and Fever Drops, which have never failed effecting a cure, Hahn's Anti-bilious Pills, Ditto Corn Plaster, the Persian Lotion for the face and skin, Gowland's Lotion, Church's Cough Drops, Anderson's Pills.

The nervous, debilitated, or sedentary, whose dis- eases have in a great measure baffled the powers of medicine, would do well in making trial of
The American Botanical Tea, which need only to be taken to acquire universal approbation; not only for its balsamic and restora- tive properties, in all decays from age, intemper- ance or disease; and in preserving a good consti- tution and mending a bad one, but for its claims to public favor, as a pleasant and wholesome break- fast; which will be found infinitely superior to Foreign Tea. Artists and others whose profes- sions require a steady hand, will find great relief from the use of this vegetable diet, but particu- larly those who lead a sedentary life.
A package at 75 cents, will last one person for breakfast, nearly one month.

For Nervous Disorders, Female Complaints, Gout in the Stomach, Melancholy, Seminal Weakness, loss of Appetite, Bilious Disor- ders, Inward Weaknesses, Indigestion, Ob- stinate Gleets, Juvenile Indiscretions and Pre- mature Old Age, and every other symptom of extreme debility, which are the conse- quences of a Dissipated Life—excess of Plea- sure or Grief—Heat or change of Climate— Immoderate use of Tea, Spirituous Liquors, or any Intemperance—Bad Lying-in—Di- seases incident to Young Girls and Women at a certain period of life—
The Cordial Restorative Balsam is recommended as a Medicine of specific and unparalleled virtues for the immediate relief and speedy and permanent cure of the above disor- ders, having stood a trial of many successful years, during which period many thousands of both sexes have been restored from the brink of the grave.
This Balsam is particularly adapted to weak female constitutions, as well as to phlegmatic habits in general; it acts powerfully as a ner- vine, not only to the weak stomach, but to the whole nervous system; corrects a vitiated appe- tite and digestion in the first passages, and assists wonderfully in recovering the tone of the uri- nary and genital organs;—Hence its efficacy in the most obstinate seminal gleets in men, and corresponding weaknesses in women; and hence it will contribute more, surely, surely and hu- morably towards conjugal happiness, than any of those irritating, diabolical compositions, which are so shamefully administered to the un- wary.
It is earnestly recommended to those ladies, who from repeated and difficult labours are af- flicted with weaknesses and infirmities; in which cases it is highly useful, strengthening at the same time the stomach, the back, the weaken- ed organs, and the whole constitution.
Those, who in advanced life, feel the conse- quences of youthful excess, or unfortunate youth, who have brought on themselves a numerous train of evils, will by the use of this fund them- selves restored to health and strength, and all the melancholy symptoms removed, which are the general effects of such causes.
For whether the system has received a shock, and is debilitated from imprudence or inatten- tion in the earliest part of life, or is sinking un- der the advance of years, a few doses of this medicine will afford immediate assurance of re- turning health and strength, by giving tone to the muscular system, and organs of digestion, and by renovating the whole constitution.
To the young it will afford lasting health, strength and spirits, in place of lassitude and debility; and to the aged and infirm, it will as- suredly furnish great relief and comfort, by gently and safely invigorating the system; but if it be in the power of medicine to yield the au- tumn of declining years, and calmly and fe- rely protract the close of life beyond its nar- row span, this Restorative is capable of effect- ing that grand desideratum.
Constitutions relaxed, weak or decayed, in men or women, are under the immediate influ- ence of this Restorative.
Old coughs soon relieved and speedily cured. Poverty of blood and emaciated limbs, will ere long meet the happiest change; the chill watery fluid become rich and balsamic, and the limbs be covered with flesh, firm and healthful.
It will no doubt be acceptable to the reader, to see accounts of some of the remarkable cures and cures which have been performed by this truly invaluable medicine, in the disorders for which it was invented; he has therefore select- ed a few of such cases as have come within his own immediate knowledge, which are publish- ed and may be had (gratis) at any of the places where the medicine is sold.
