VIENNA, Sept. 15. Letters from Hermanstadt, say, that the second division of the Turkish fleet having sailed towards Oczakow, had intercepted four large Russian ships of war, which had been launched in the presence of the Empress of Russia, and had failed down the Niaper, in order for completing their armaments at Sebastopolis. The Turkish fleet afterwards failed towards the coasts of Taurida.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 5. On Saturday Mr. Findley delivered an eloquent and powerful speech to prove that the proposed plan of Government amounted to a Consolidation, and not a Confederation of the States. Mr. Wilson had before admitted that if this was a just objection it would be strongly against the system; and, it seems, from the subsequent silence of all its advocates upon that subject (except Doctor Rush, who on Monday insinuated that he saw and rejoiced at the eventual annihilation of the State Sovereignities) Mr. Findley had established his position. Previous to an investigation of the plan, that gentleman adverted upon the argument of necessity, which had been so much insisted upon, and shewed that we were in an eligible situation to attempt the improvement of the Federal Government, but not so desperately circumstanced as to be obliged to adopt any system, however destructive to the liberties of the people, and the sovereign rights of the States. He then argued that the proposed Constitution established a general Government and destroyed the individual Governments, from the following evidence taken from the system itself. 1st, In the preamble, it is said We the People , and not We the States , which therefore is a compact between individuals entering into society, and not between separate States enjoying independent power, and delegating a portion of that power for their common benefit. 2dly, That in the Legislature each member has a vote, whereas in a Confederation, as we have hitherto practised it, and from the very nature of the thing, a State can only have one voice, and therefore all the delegates of any State can only give one vote. 3d, The powers given to the Federal body for imposing internal taxation will necessarily destroy the State Sovereignities, for there cannot exist two independent sovereign taxing powers in the same community, and the strongest will, of course, annihilate the weaker. 4th, The power given to regulate and judge of elections is a proof of a consolidation, for there cannot be two powers employed at the same time in regulating the same elections, and if they were a confederated body, the individual States would judge of the elections, and the general Congress would judge of the credentials which proved the election of its members. 5th, The judiciary power, which is co-extensive with the legislative, is another evidence of a consolidation. 6th, The manner in which the wages of the members is paid, makes another proof; and lastly the oath of allegiance directed to be taken establishes it incontrovertibly, for would it not be absurd that the members of the legislative and executive branches of a sovereign State should take a test of allegiance to another sovereign or independent body?
On Monday it was urged by Mr. Findley that Congress, under the new system, would have it in their power to lay an impost upon emigrants. Dr. Rush said, he thought there was no reason to object to its being laid on the importation of indentured servants, and Mr. Wilson said that the emigration of freemen was an object of commerce.
Dr. Rush having frequently alluded with disapprobation to the funding system, in a late debate, Mr. Findley observed that the Doctor was one of the Committee of public creditors who had conferred with a Committee of the General Assembly upon this measure, and was at that time very active in promoting it. The Doctor, for fear any unfavorable impression should be made by that assertion, observed that he did not think the system would have extended so far.
Mr. Wilson said, that the manner in which the opposition treated the proposed Constitution, taking it by piecemeal, without considering the relative connection and dependence of its parts, reminded him of an anecdote, which occurred when it was the practice in churches to read a single line of Sternhold and Hopkins's psalms, and then set the verse to music. A sailor entered a church when the Clerk gave out the following line:
"The Lord will come, and he will not," The sailor stared, but when he heard the next line, "Hold your peace, but speak aloud," he instantly left the congregation, convinced that it was an assembly of lunatics.
ELIZABETH-TOWN, Dec. 5. Last Friday morning, about two o'clock four villains, disguised with handkerchiefs tied over their faces, entered the house of the town collector of Aquackanonk, and robbed him of three hundred and ninety pounds of the public money.
New-York, Dec. 10.
On Saturday arrived the Schooner Maria, March, from York-Town, Virginia; and the Sloop Peter, Teatom, from St. Croix.
A letter from a gentleman, who went passenger in the ship Alexander, Captain Ritchie, to his brother in Philadelphia, dated Cork, Oct. 2, 1787, says, "We were seven weeks on our passage from Philadelphia to Beer-Haven, into which place we were put by stress of weather. We had very rough weather the greatest part of our voyage; the wind was generally S. E. until we came near the coast of Ireland, when it came round, and blew violently from the West; at which time we must have been inevitably wrecked, had it not been for a lunar observation we had a few days before, which we used as a new departure, and by this reckoning we were not six miles from the true longitude of the land, when we made it; yet by the Captain's journal from dead reckoning we were three degrees and by both the mates' five degrees further to the westward. The manner in which the lunar observation saved us from being lost was thus: We had been driven considerably to the northward of our course; and on the 16th of September, being in lat. 54, 0, N. and long. 11, 0, W. of London, by our reckoning continued from the observation, the gale came on, at 11 o'clock in the morning. The day was so dark and rainy, that we could not have seen the land, had it been within a mile of us; and there are no soundings on the west coast of Ireland until you are close in with the land. Now if the captain's or mate's dead reckoning were to be credited, we had sufficient sea room to stand our course for Cape Clear to the S. E. but if the longitude by observation was right, it was our part to turn the ship's head towards the N. E. as the coast to the north of Broad-Haven falls off nearly east; so that we had more room to drift in this direction than in the other (I say drift, for the storm was so great that we could only carry a reefed foresail). In this instance the captain shewed his good sense, in giving way to the longitude by observation, in preference to that by dead reckoning, and turned the ship's head to the north. This was the saving of the ship and people; for the next morning, when the gale abated, and the air cleared, we had the land of Broad-Haven bearing from us S. S. W. distant two leagues, and from the beginning of the storm to that time we had drifted scarce 20 miles. Now if you look at the map of Ireland you may see the certainty of our destruction, if we had attempted to stand our course towards the southward; and this certainly would have been the case, were it not for the longitude by observation."
"Excuse me for dwelling so long upon this subject, but I am so convinced of the necessity there is for all Captains and Mates of ships to be well acquainted with the lunar observation, that I think it my duty to write and speak largely in its favor. It has saved my own life already, and the lives and property of all the people in the ship."
"P. S. Captain Ritchie treated us with great politeness during our voyage. He is now a perfect master of the lunar observation."
The Tigris, Smith, from Cork, struck on a rock, and sunk in eleven feet water between Quebec and Montreal: the cargo was landed, and the ship will be got off.
Capt. Ventus, in the sloop Polly, arrived at Philadelphia from Norfolk, on the 28th ult. 60 miles south of Cape Henry, spoke the brig Minerva, captain Antill, 30 days from Cape Francois. She had been near the light-house, and taken a pilot on board, but was afterwards blown off, and in distress, when spoke by captain Ventus, who afforded the Minerva what assistance lay in his power.
Doctor Rush, (on the subject of the New Government tending to abridge the states of their respective Sovereignty) observed in the Convention of Pennsylvania, that this passion for separate Sovereignty had destroyed the Grecian Union. This plurality of Sovereignty is in politics what plurality of Gods is in religion—it is the idolatry, the heathenism of Government. In marking the advantages which are secured to us by the new Government, the Doctor principally enforced the following: That citizens under it will have an immediate voice in delegations to Congress; that an unoffending posterity will not (as is now the case on commission of treason) be punished for the sins of offending ancestors; that an eternal veto will be stamped on paper emissions; that religious tests would be abolished; that commerce will hold up her declining head, under the influence of general, vigorous, uniform regulations; that a system of infinite mischief to this state would be counteracted; that the adopted certificates would devolve back to the continent. The Doctor concluded an animated speech by holding out the new Constitution as pregnant with an increase of freedom, knowledge and religion.
An European correspondent, whose speculations have often given the public much pleasure as well as information, has furnished us with the following curious statement of the inhabitants of Ireland at this day.
  In the army, including invalids, 12,000   In the service of the revenue, 4,000   In useful labor, employed, 600,000   Children, 440,000   Employed in manufactures, 520,000   Marines, fishermen, and boatmen, 45,000   Handicrafts and tradesmen, 580,000   Merchants, 2,500   Shop-keepers, dealers, and pedlars, 260,000   Resident nobility and gentry, 10,000   Clergy of all denominations!!! 11,000   Men of the law, physicians and surgeons!!! 5,200   Unemployed poor, idlers, and vagabonds!!!! 550,000 
Total population, 3,001,200
Note.—Those stated as employed in useful labor, take in all who work in agriculture, as well as the farmers who employ them.—As to the last denomination, namely, unemployed poor, idlers, and vagabonds, which takes in all the beggars and prostitutes in the nation, he thinks the number at least 200,000 more than he has set down; but he confined himself to this number in compliance to the general opinion, that the population of Ireland does not exceed three million and a half of souls.
He also adds, that in Europe, the luxury of the present age beyond the preceding ones, may be judged of by the following circumstance: LOUIS XVIth, makes a merit with his people, in the reduction of his carriages to something less than fifty: HENRY IVth, between whom and the present Monarch, there have been only three intermediate Sovereigns, kept only one coach—inasmuch, that on a particular occasion, when it had been his intention to visit Sully , who was indisposed, he apologized for not being able to do it—that the QUEEN had requested the use of his carriage.—The French, he remarks, have been for some time deviating into English manners.—They first used their manufactures, then became attached to their fashions, next apply themselves to the study of the language, and then gamble in the funds;—but though all these have passed over to them successively, who would have imagined that the flame of liberty could go across the channel?
Morning Prayer of a poor old Pedlar, in a Barn.
"THANK God I have slept soundly to-night, and so this morning am pure well! thank God my afs is well, and has eat a good lock of hay, and her crust of bread, and drunk half o' pail o' water. God bless me to-day, and give me strength to walk a-foot, that I mayn't be forced to get up and ride upon the poor beast that has got luggage enough a-ready. God a-mighty send that folks may want to buy my wares, and take a liking to my ballads, and that them as can afford it may give me some victuals and drink, that I mayn't give my ballads for it to servants, when their masters and mistresses don't know on't. May he lead us thro' green lanes where my poor afs may light of good croppings, without running into the fields after other folks' grass and corn; and that poor thing! she mayn't tumble down and hurt herself and break my wares. And God a-mighty incline somebody to give us a night's lodging, and that I may have a dry barn, and some barley straw to sleep on, for I'm grown old, and a hard bed hurts me worse than it us'd to do: but I won't mistrust God a-mighty's care, for he never let me want in my life, and so his great and holy name be prais'd both now and for evermore. Amen."
DIED, last Saturday evening, in the 44th year of his age, THOMAS HAZARD, Esq. a gentleman of great integrity, and a very vigilant and faithful Magistrate of this City.
THE FEDERALIST, No. XIX. To the People of the State of New-York.
THE examples of ancient Confederacies, cited in my last paper, have not exhausted the source of experimental instruction on this subject. There are existing institutions, founded on a similar principle, which merit particular consideration. The first which presents itself is the Germanic Body.
In the early ages of Christianity Germany was occupied by seven distinct nations, who had no common chief. The Franks, one of the number, having conquered the Gauls, established the kingdom which has taken its name from them. In the ninth century, Charlemagne, its warlike monarch, carried his victorious arms in every direction, and Germany became a part of its vast dominions. On the dismemberment, which took place under his sons, this part was erected
into a separate and independent empire. Charlemagne and his immediate descendants possessed the reality, as well as the ensigns and dignity of imperial power. But the principal vassals, whose fiefs had become hereditary, and who composed the national Diets, which Charlemagne had not abolished, gradually threw off the yoke, and advanced to sovereign jurisdiction and independence. The force of imperial sovereignty was insufficient to restrain such powerful dependents; or to preserve the unity and tranquillity of the Empire. The most furious private wars, accompanied with every species of calamity, were carried on between the different Princes and States. The imperial authority, unable to maintain the public order, declined by degrees, till it was almost extinct in the anarchy, which agitated the long interval between the death of the last Emperor of the Swabian, and the accession of the first Emperor of the Austrian lines. In the eleventh century, the Emperors enjoyed full sovereignty: In the fifteenth they had little more than the symbols and decorations of power.
Out of this feudal system, which has itself many of the important features of a Confederacy, has grown the Federal system, which constitutes the Germanic empire. Its powers are vested in a Diet representing the component members of the Confederacy; in the Emperor who is the executive magistrate, with a negative on the decrees of the Diet; and in the Imperial Chamber and Aulic Council, two judiciary tribunals having supreme jurisdiction in controversies which concern the empire, or which happen among its members.
The Diet possesses the general power of legislating for the empire—of making war and peace—contracting alliances—assessing quotas of troops and money—constructing fortresses—regulating coin—admitting new members, and subjecting disobedient members to the ban of the empire, by which the party is degraded from his sovereign rights, and his possessions forfeited. The members of the confederacy are expressly restricted from entering into compacts, prejudicial to the empire, from imposing tolls and duties on their mutual intercourse, without the consent of the Emperor and Diet; from altering the value of money; from doing injustice to one other; or from affording assistance or retreat to disturbers of the public peace. And the ban is denounced against such as shall violate any of these restrictions. The members of the Diet, as such, are subject in all cases to be judged by the Emperor and Diet, and in their private capacities, by the Aulic Council and Imperial Chamber.
The prerogatives of the Emperor are numerous. The most important of them are, his exclusive right to make propositions to the diet—to negative its resolutions—to name ambassadors—to confer dignities and titles—to fill vacant electorates—to found universities—to grant privileges not injurious to the States of the empire—to receive and apply the public revenues—and generally to watch over the public safety. In certain cases, the electors form a council to him. In quality of Emperor he possesses no territory within the empire; nor receives any revenue for his support. But his revenue and dominions, in other qualities, constitute him one of the most powerful Princes in Europe.
From such a parade of constitutional powers, in the representatives and head of this Confederacy, the natural supposition would be, that it must form an exception to the general character which belongs to its kindred systems. Nothing would be farther from the reality. The fundamental principle, on which it rests, that the empire is a community of Sovereigns; that the Diet is a representation of Sovereigns; and that the laws are addressed to Sovereigns; render the empire a nerveless body; incapable of regulating its own members; insecure against external dangers; and agitated with unceasing fermentations in its own bowels.
The history of Germany is a history of wars between the Emperor and the Princes and States; of wars among the Princes and States themselves; of the licentiousness of the strong, and the oppression of the weak; of foreign intrusions, and foreign intrigues; of requisitions of men and money, disregarded, or partially complied with; of attempts to enforce them, altogether abortive, or attended with slaughter and desolation, involving the innocent "with the guilty; of general imbecility, confusion and misery.
In the sixteenth century, the Emperor with one part of the Empire on his side, was seen engaged against the other Princes and States. In one of the conflicts, the Emperor himself was put to flight, and very near being made prisoner by the Elector of Saxony. The late King of Prussia was more than once pitted against his Imperial sovereign; and commonly proved an overmatch for him. Controversies and wars among the members themselves have been so common, that the German annals are crowded with the bloody pages which describe them. Previous to the peace of Westphalia, Germany was desolated by a war of thirty years, in which the Emperor, with one half

of the empire was on one side; and Sweden with the other half on the opposite side. Peace was at length negotiated and dictated by foreign powers; and the articles of it, to which foreign powers are parties made a fundamental part of the Germanic Constitution.
If the nation happens, on any emergency, to be more united by the necessity of self defence, its situation is still deplorable. Military preparations must be preceded by so many tedious discussions, arising from the jealousies, pride, separate views, and clashing pretensions, of sovereign bodies; that before the Diet can settle the arrangements, the enemy are in the field; and before the Federal troops are ready to take it, are retiring into winter quarters.
The small body of national troops which has been judged necessary in time of peace, is defectively kept up, badly paid, infected with local prejudices, and supported by irregular and disproportionate contributions to the treasury.
The impossibility of maintaining order, and dispensing justice among these sovereign subjects, produced the experiment of dividing the Empire into nine or ten circles or districts; of giving them an interior organization; and of charging them with military execution of the laws against delinquent and contumacious members. This experiment has only served to demonstrate more fully, the radical vice of the Constitution. Each circle is the miniature picture of the deformities of this political monster. They either fail to execute their commissions, or they do it with all the devastation and carnage of civil war. Sometimes whole circles are defaulters, and then they increase the mischief which they were instituted to remedy.
We may form some judgment of this scheme of military coercion, from a sample given by Thuanus. In Denawerth, a free and imperial city, of the circle of Swabia, the Abbe de St. Croix enjoyed certain immunities which had been reserved to him. In the exercise of these, on some public occasion, outrages were committed on him, by the people of the city. The consequence was, that the city was put under the ban of the empire; and the Duke of Bavaria, though director of another circle, obtained an appointment to enforce it. He soon appeared before the city, with a corps of ten thousand troops, and finding it a fit occasion, as he had secretly intended from the beginning, to revive an antiquated claim, on the pretext that his ancestors had suffered the place to be dismembered from his territory; * he took possession of it, in his own name; disarmed and punished the inhabitants, and re-annexed the city to his domains.
It may be asked perhaps what has so long kept this disjointed machine from falling entirely to pieces? The answer is obvious. The weakness of most of the members, who are unwilling to expose themselves to the mercy of foreign powers; the weakness of most of the principal members, compared with the formidable powers all around them; the vast weight and influence which the Emperor derives from his separate and hereditary dominions; and the interest he feels in preserving a system, with which his family pride is connected, and which constitutes him the first Prince in Europe; these causes support a feeble and precarious Union; whilst the repellent quality, incident to the nature of Sovereignty, and which time continually strengthens, prevents any reform whatever, founded on a proper consolidation. Nor is it to be imagined, if this obstacle could be surmounted, that the neighbouring powers would suffer a revolution to take place, which would give to the Empire the force and pre-eminence to which it is entitled. Foreign nations have long considered themselves as interested in the changes made by events in this Constitution; and have, on various occasions, betrayed their policy of perpetuating its anarchy and weakness.
If more direct examples were wanting, Poland, as a Government over local Sovereigns, might not improperly be taken notice of. Nor could any proof more striking be given of the calamities flowing from such institutions. Equally unfit for self-government, and self-defence, it has long been at the mercy of its powerful neighbours; who have lately had the mercy to disburden it of one third of its people and territories.
The connection among the Swiss Cantons scarcely amounts to a Confederacy: Tho' it is sometimes cited as an instance of the stability of such institutions.
They have no common treasury---no common troops even in war---no common coin---no common judicatory, nor any other common mark of sovereignty.
They are kept together by the peculiarity of their topographical position, by their individual weakness and insignificance; by the fear of powerful neighbours, to one of which they were formerly subject; by the few sources of contention among a people of such simple and homogeneous man-
* Pfeffer, Nouvel abreg. chronol. de l'hist. &c. d'Allemagne, says the pretext was to indemnify himself for the expence of the expedition.
ners; by their joint interest in their dependent possessions; by the mutual aid they stand in need of, for suppressing insurrections and rebellions; an aid expressly stipulated, and often required and afforded; and by the necessity of some regular and permanent provision for accommodating disputes among the Cantons. The provision is, that the parties at variance shall each choose four judges out of the neutral Cantons, who, in case of disagreement, choose an umpire. This tribunal, under an oath of impartiality, pronounces definitive sentence; which all the Cantons are bound to enforce. The competency of this regulation may be eliminated, by a clause of 1683, with Victor Amadeus of Savoy; in which he obliges himself to interpose as mediator in disputes between the Cantons; and to employ force, if necessary, against the contumacious party.
So far as the peculiarity of their case will admit of comparison with that of the United States, it serves to confirm the principle intended to be established. Whatever efficacy the Union may have had in ordinary cases, it appears that the moment a cause of difference sprang up, capable of trying its strength, it failed. The controversies on the subject of religion, which in three instances have kindled violent and bloody contests, may be said in fact to have severed the league. The Protestant and Catholic Cantons have since had their separate Diets; where all the most important concerns are adjusted, and which have left the general Diet little other business than to take care of the common bailages.
The separation had another consequence which merits attention. It produced opposite alliances with foreign powers; of Berne at the head of the Protestant association with the United Provinces; and of Luzerne at the head of the Catholic association with France.

A CAUTION to OWNERS and MASTERS of VESSELS, THAT they beware of rigging which is made of Holland yarn; for it is made in great quanti- ties and exposed to sale, to the hurt of the buyer. It is of such a bad quality, that it is not sufficient for cables or rigging of any kind: it is spun and dressed off in such a manner, as makes it difficult for the buyer to know it from the best rope. In order to try its evil quality, let the buyer take a few yards of the flag end of the rope, and open them into hemp, and if it prove to be short tow, you may take it for granted to be Holland yarn; which is spun of short tow and re-used of the hemp, that is manufactured in- to sail-cloth in Holland. N. B. If it should be enquired who are the pro- moters of this caution, be it known that we are a com- pany of rope-makers, who think it too tedious to insert our names here. tf New-York, Nov. 8.
To the Curious. To be seen at Mr. Stevens's Livery Stables, Wall-street, near Pitt's Statue, TWO CAMELS, MALE and female, lately imported from Ara- bia.

They are 18 hands high, have necks three feet eight inches long, a large hump upon their back, and another under their breast, in the form of a pedestal, on which they sup- port themselves when lying down; they have four joints in their hind legs, and they will travel twive or fourteen days without drinking, and carry a bur- then of fifteen hundred weight; they are remarkably harmless and docile, and will lie down and rise at command. Price of admittance one shilling for gentlemen and ladies, and six-pence for children. Dec. 3. tf

Dr. RYAN's incomparable Worm destroying SUGAR PLUMBS, Highly necessary to be kept in all Families, SO exceedingly valued by all people who have had of them in Great-Britain and Ireland, for their transcendant excellency in the destroying Worms of all kinds, both in the bodies of men, women, and children, by not only breaking the knots in the du- odenum, or gut next the stomach, but they pass through the smallest passages of the body, and purge away thoseropy and slimy humours which are the cause of those pernicious vermin, and the source of many other disorders. They are one of the best purges in the whole world for gross-bodied children that are apt to breed worms, and have large bellies; their operation is mild, safe, and pleasant; they wonderfully cleanse the bowels of all stuff and clam- my humours which stop up the parts, and prevent the juice of food from being conveyed to the liver and made blood, which is often the case with children, and is attended with a hard belly, stinking breath, frequent fevers, rickets, and a decay of strength, in the lower parts; likewise fetid ashes and pains in the head, swelling, old sores, scabs, tetter, or breaking out, will be perfectly cured, and the blood and skin restored to its original purity and smooth- ness; they purge by urine, and bring away the grav- el, and effectually cure all obstructions of the urine, or ulcers in the kidneys. They at once strike at the true cause of the scurvy, and entirely destroy it, and all scorbatic humours and effects, root and branch, so as never to return again; and what makes them more commendable is, they are full as agreeable to both taste and sight, as loaf sugar; and in their operation, as innocent as new milk.
I have by these plumbs cured a great many chil- dren of a whooping or chin-coughs, and agues, which distempers are very common and troublesome to fa- milies, and the want of these plumbs are the ruin of many children's constitutions. These plumbs enrich and sweeten the whole mass of blood, carry off all gross, corrupt, and purid hu- mours, and create a fresh and healthy complexion in such as are affected in any purid matter.
The plumb is a great dietetic, cleansing the reins of urine; it expels wind, and is a sovereign medi- cine in the cholic and griping of the guts; it allays and carries off four vapours, which occasion many disorders in the head; it opens all obstructions in the stomach, lungs, liver, reins, and bladder, can- ces a good appetite, and helps digestion. It hath been found wonderfully successful to such persons as are going into chronicl distempers, as asthma, phthisicks, or shortness of breath, dropsies and yel- low jaundice. Now I hope all impartial persons are satisfied that the medicine which works upon such humours, will almost reach any distemper, if not too far gone, since corruption and purification are the fore-runners of all diseases; therefore, no better physic can be taken for all ages, sexes, and consti- tutions, from infancy to an old age. These plumbs are highly serviceable to the female sex, from the age of 14 to 20, and from 40 to 50. Each box con- tains one dozen of these plumbs. Price Eight Shil- lings, with directions. Sold by H. GAIN, at his Book-Store and Printing Office, in Hanover-Square.
Diagnostick signs of Worms. PALNESS in the face, itching of the nose, hol- lowness of the eyes, grating of the teeth when asleep, dulness, pains and heaviness in the head, a dry cough, itching in the fundament, white and thick urine, unquiet sleep, often starting, lost appe- tite, swelled belly, gnawing and biting about the stomach, frightful dreams, extreme thirst, the bo- dy decayed and lean, fits, often vomiting, stinking breath, &c.
Directions for taking them. A Child from 1 to 2 years must eat one plumb from 2 to 4 one and a half, from 4 to 6 two, from 6 to 8 two and a half, from 8 to 12 three, from 12 to 15, and all above that age may eat four plumbs, one hour or two before up-rising, not to drink during that time, but afterwards drink warm tea, whey, or water gruel; in taking, the patient must stay 2 or 3 days betwixt each dose. In agues, the same quantity must be taken, 2, 3, or 4 hours before the fits comes on, and be repeated three times. In whooping or chin-coughs, give the quantity above-mentioned. June 1. 3w. tf.
