This excellent remedy has been administered by the inventor, for several years while in England, with the greatest success. By the simple application of this fluid for a short time, it will remove the most rancorous and alarming scurvy in the face, which has failed every other remedy. It possesses all the good qualities of the most celebrated cosmetics, without any of their doubtful effects. He therefore recommends it with confidence to every person so afflicted, as an effectual and certain cure. Prepared only by the inventor and sole proprietor, Dr. James Church, at his Dispensary, 137 Front Street, near the Fly Market, New-York; and sold by Messrs. H. & P.

CURE OF THE RHEUMATISM, Palsy, gout, lumbago, white swellings, sprains, bruises, numbness, chilblains, acute chronic rheumatism, rheumatic gout, is recommended Dr. CHURCH'S Chemical Extract and Essence of Mustard, Prepared only by Dr. James Church, at his Dispensary, New-York. There perhaps is no malady to which the human frame is subject, that has had more applications of various kinds administered as remedies, than the Rheumatism: nor is there scarce a disorder that has resisted with like force the attempts made to remove it. The virtues of the Essence and Extract of Mustard, will be found to equal, if not exceed those of any other medicine whatever, in the cure of the above complaints. The following is copied from the London Pharmacopoeia and is the opinion of the College of Physicians concerning this valuable drug. "Mustard, by its acrimony and pungency; stimulates the tolid, and attenuates viscid juices, and hence is deservedly recommended for exciting appetite, promoting digestion, encouraging the fluid secretions; also paralytic and rheumatic affections." These medicines contain all the virtues that can possibly be derived from that excellent and powerful vegetable. The Essence is prepared in a fluid state, and is singularly efficacious as an external application; common rheumatism, Sprains, Chilblains, Stiff Necks, Swelled Joints, Bruises, Frozen Feet, local pains in any part of the body or extremities, Swelled Faces, chopped hands, &c. will be found to yield to its benign influence in a few hours. The Extract is prepared in the form of pills, and being an internal remedy is an amazing additional improvement, taken in the severest cases of the Rheumatic Gout, Chronic Rheumatism, Palsy, fixed pains, Lumbago, Numbness, Gouts, &c. When the essence is externally applied it promotes gentle perspiration, and operates very mildly by urine; they also amend a weak digestion, and strengthen the stomach. Sold as above with printed directions for use. Where also may be had, CHURCH'S COUGH DROPS, a medicine unequalled by any in the world for the cure of Coughs, Colds, Asthma and Consumption. Also by Mr. Price, Baltimore, and Messrs. H. & P. Rice, 16, South Second Street, Philadelphia. February 10. cozw

One case of cure only is subjoined out of a considerable number, as proof of its efficacy attested before the Lord Mayor of London. AFFIDAVIT. "I, James Pocock, of No. 40, North-street, in the Parish of St. Luke's Middlesex, do make oath—That I was grievously afflicted with fits for upwards of 35 years! and that to be violent a degree, as to require 12 men to hold me in them, to prevent my dashing myself to pieces. They would generally last me 5, 6, and often 7 hours; in consequence of which my constitution became quite emaciated. I made application to many eminent gentlemen of the Faculty, who afforded me no relief whatever; till I applied to Dr. James Church of the City Road, who prescribed his Antispasmodic Elixir for me, which I took, and which alone cured me of these most dreadful fits, and restored me to perfect health.

Centre Square, February 5, 1800. 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 houses cannot appear improper.

As to the improvements on the farm, there is a decent dwelling house with the usual out houses, a good brick spring house, and a large new excellent barn, one floor of brick, and the other framed work, two orchards of apples and of peaches, in full perfection and good fruit.
The mills consist of three pair of bur stones for the grinding of wheat, and one pair of stones for the grinding of corn, all of proved good quality, worked by overflow water wheels and double gears, with all the late improvements for screening, cleaning, bolting and elevating the wheat and flour, all executed in the best manner and of the best materials and quite new. The mill house is large and convenient, being 46 feet by 72 feet with five floors, the two lower stories are brick, the rest framed work executed in the most substantial manner; the house and machinery of the mills will be found unexceptionable, and they are so situated as to be free from all risque from the freshest or inundation of the water courses—There is a very convenient brick bake house two stories high, with two large ovens; a very good house for the proprietor or manager, a store room, counting room, kitchen, &c. also suitable houses for millers, coopers, and bakers—The tide water from James River flows to the walls of the mill, where boats of three to four hundred bushels burthen can receive their loads out of the mill, and in one mile distance, ships of any size that navigate James River, can load in great safety.
The neighborhood is healthy—very respectable as to inhabitants, being mostly independent farmers, and the soil is in general very justly esteemed equal to any on James River, for the growing of wheat; upon a moderate calculation, the average annual crops of the neighborhood equally convenient if not more so, to the Norwich Mills, than to any other market, amount to between thirty and forty thousand bushels of wheat. Mr. John P. Gordon who lives on the premises at present, will show the whole to those who may incline to view it.
I would prefer a purchaser who would pay down the principal part of the purchase money, and would give a very advantageous bargain—or I will sell on a credit convenient to the purchaser, the interest being paid annually. I will wait for a purchaser till the 15th day of March next, and if not then sold, I will be glad to treat with a tenant for a lease, on terms which may be mutually agreeable. I have offered the whole of this estate for sale, on a presumption that the purchaser of the mills would incline to have the land also, for a supply of building timber, oven wood and hoop poles; but if it be more agreeable to him to take the mills and a few acres of land, he shall be accommodated accordingly.

SIR, Who'er thou art, whose forward years are bent On State affairs to guide the Government, Hear first, what Socrates of old has said, To a loy'd youth whom he at Athens bred.
" Tell me" said he, " What are the grounds from whence thou dost prepare
" To undertake so young, so vast a care ?
" Perhaps thy wit: (a chance not often heard
" That parts and prudence should prevent the beard.)
" The feldem seen, that Senators so young
" Know when to speak, and when to hold their tongue.
" Sure thou art born to some peculiar fate,
" When the mad people rise against the State,
" To look them into duty; and command
" An awful silence with thy lifted hand.
" Then to help as them thus; Athenians know
" Against right reason all your counsels go,
" 'Tis not fair, nor profitable that;
" Nor the other question proper for debate.
" But thou, no doubt canst set the business right
" And give each argument its proper weight.
" Know'st with an equal hand, to hold the scale,
" See'st where the reasons pinch and where they fail,
" And where exceptions o'er the general rule
" prevail.
" And taught by inspiration in a trice
" Canst punish crimes and brand offending vice!
" Leave, leave to fashion such high points as these,
" Nor be ambitious ere thy time to please:
" Unfathomably wise till age and cares,
" Have formed thy soul to manage great affairs.
" Thy face, thy shape, thy cut fits are but vain,
" Thou hast not strength such labors to sustain,
" Drink Hellebore, my Boy, drink deep and
" purge thy Brain!"
Let not thy vanity, citizen, be too much excited by the comparison to Alcibiades, least peradventure it be thought that the familiarity consists in vanity alone.

For the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES.
A Letter to a Member of Congress,
Dated 30th January, 1800.
SIR,
AS you have been an advocate for public credit, I think you must have paid some attention to the deep wound it has long suffered by the total neglect to fulfil the solemn engagement of the United States to pay the interest on the new emission bills. I am led to mention this subject, by an extract of a letter in the Gazette of the United States of the 13th inst. which offers very weighty and serious reasons for the immediate attention of Congress to the demand of these creditors. As some of my neighbors are sufferers, I have examined the subject. It clearly appears that ever circumstance attending this little debt, gives the creditors a pre-eminent claim to immediate payment. The faith of the United States is pledged in the most perfect manner; no words can express a more absolute engagement, and as the occasion was infinitely important to the preservation of independence, the United States did every thing they could do to ensure a punctilious fulfilment of it by promising to pay the interest in bills of exchange, (which had not been promised upon any other securities) and by requiring of each State "to provide by law permanent funds to pay its proportion in specie," &c. In fact, equal exertions were never made to establish the credit of any other public securities. The reports of a committee of Congress, and of the secretary of the treasury, made some years since, confirm what is here offered. Those securities, therefore, may be justly considered as a criterion of the good faith of the United States, and the credit due to their contracts. A small debt is as sure a criterion as a large one. If a man of wealth and power refuses to pay a just debt of five dollars, or to fulfil his promise to his poor neighbor, who has no power to compel him, such conduct stamps his character as black, as if he refused to pay a debt of fifty thousand, because this develops his principle. It is the same with a government. During the war, Congress could not pay the interest in bills of exchange (it had not special) for soon after these securities were issued, the Court of France (on whom Congress had before drawn) notified Congress that "no more bills could be paid." But "imperious necessity" does not now prevent payment. The inattention to this subject, places the character of government upon the rack, to be blessed by its enemies, and lamented by its friends. And how long is it to be thus exposed?—These long injured creditors are preparing to publish an Appeal to Congress, in which they will recite the complicated injustice they have suffered, the violations of public faith, &c. This appeal, every friend to government might with prevented, as it cannot be refuted, and we may expect it to contain facts totally irreconcilable to the character Congress professes to support. But if no attention is paid to a demand thus founded upon the most perfect contract, they have no other recourse for justice than to publish their solemn appeal, and thereby endeavor to excite the attention of just and energetic men, in and out of government, to their cause. The simple question seems to be, in this case, "Is the pledged FAITH, and HONOR, and CREDIT, of this government worth more than the little sum due to these creditors?"—Can any
man oppose payment, who does not suppose the negative side of the question?—The excuse which has been offered for not fulfilling this contract of the United States, is found upon depreciation, but this is too frivolous to be regarded by men of any reflection, as the depreciation was caused by not paying the interest, and will Congress cause its notes to depreciate, and then refuse to pay the interest because they are depreciated!—Can any thing in the French government surpass this?—It is infinitely worse than the excuse of "imperious necessity." Can any excuses offered to apologize for such an aggravated breach of public contract, evince any thing but the depreciation of the minds that offers them? Admit such an excuse, and Congress may refuse payment of interest to any, and all public creditors. All the securities that have been funded at par were greatly depreciated. Indeed, to be consistent, all payments must stop, as these creditors have as good a right, by the law of the United States of 1790, to receive their interest, as others have to receive theirs by the law of 1790. These laws are equally binding;—It is an established maxim, that "where law ends, tyranny begins,"—is it not clear then, that these creditors suffer tyranny, by having the law suspended which insures their rights? The constitution also infures them. What violence is offered to reason and equity, whilst interest is paid upon inferior obligations, and even upon assumed state debts, and denied to these creditors? Will it not appear to impartial men like a mockery of justice? Is there any measure of the French government so long "a by-word and a hissing," more at war with common sense? And is not the ill policy, as obvious as the injustice? It seems like an infatuation to sacrifice the honor and credit of the United States in such a manner. These creditors will challenge any one to prove that the honor of any respectable government, was ever sold so cheap before since the creation? When will our legislators open their eyes upon this subject? What is become of the zeal of the supporters of the funding system "to establish a permanent public credit"? Where are the opposers of that system, because it was not equal, and "they wished to do equal justice to all creditors"? Where are the watchful guardians of the old soldiers and obscure citizens' rights, "who have no friends at court, or influence in Congress"? Is it not a melancholy fact, that no respectable government in the known world now exhibits a parallel, in all its circumstances of aggravation, to this? And yet we are informed, by shrewd politicians, conversant with those called leading men, "that Congress will take no steps towards fulfilling this contract." Time will soon decide how correct this conjecture is.
A faithless, and a free government are contradictions. Inviolable GOOD FAITH, is the bond of union and the soul of a republic, and all history proves it cannot long exist without it. Look at France, nothing of a genuine republic exists there, but the name. And that, government is a good looking giefs for too many of our legislators, and for all members of Congress who acquiesce in violating the faith of the United States. Every such act, is a step in the Gallic road to iron despotism and bloody tyranny. But why do we censure the French government, it must supply the want of credit, by force, or perish.—(This is the old beaten road to despotism, in which all the ancient as well as modern republics have perished) And unless Congress shall observe with a scrupulous and sacred regard, all public contracts, this government will inevitably fall. The nature of man, and the testimony of history, make it certain as if it was written on the doors of Congress by an angel.
Your liberal mind, I know fir, will excuse this freedom of sentiment,

To G. CHRISTIE.
IN your Note to the Editor of the Gazette of the United States, of the 11th inst. you have attempted two things, viz. To deny the facts stated in my certificate, dated at Elkton, 13th August, 1798, and to vilify my character. As to the first, it is not my intention to say one word at present, only assuring you that it will be noticed in due time; and as to the latter, permit me to observe that it is too well known to be sullied by any thing from the mouth or pen of the infamous and contemptible Christie. Having however asserted that the "notoriety" of my "character in Cecil County, shielded me from personal chastisement," you will pardon my taking some notice of the "notoriety" of your "character" in Philadelphia, which "shields" you from a chastisement from me. To have exposed you, Sir, to public infamy and contempt was not my wish; and it is with some difficulty that I can consent to do it now, on account of an injured and insulted wife and children; but the wanton and unjustifiable attack made on my character by you, will not permit me in justice to myself to hesitate a moment in exposing that character to public indignation and abhorrence, which dares so boldly to arraign that of another.
Had you Sir, consented yourself with a simple denial of the facts of my certificate, I should in like manner have contented myself with simply having proved them—You, however, chose a different course, by which you must abide; and remember Sir, that that the choice was your own. It is true, no doubt, that you had no expectation that I should be able to assail you with any thing that you could not call an "impudent fabrication" but unfortunately for you, I have your signature; yes, Sir, the signature of the Honourable G. Christie, Member of Congress. &c. &c. which I am sure you would not suffer any Plebian citizen of Philadelphia, to deny, without a "personal chastisement."
The signature alluded to Sir, is a letter from you to a certain lady in this city, at whose house your enamourata died, and where you had kept her for some time prior to her tour to the Springs for her health. I shall however insert the letter at full length, for fear you should have forgotten its contents, or that you should assert it to be an "impudent fabrication." To prevent the latter however, I have left it with the Printer, where it will remain till Friday afternoon for the inspection of those who may have their doubts. Here it is
"Madam, "Miss _____ has given me directions "in what manner she wished her property, "which is in your possession disposed of; "you will therefore take an inventory in "the presence of Mr. _____ of every "thing which she left in your House.— "Her clothes she has requested me to de- "liver to one of her Relations, and the "other things are mine; therefore you will "be so good as to take care that they shall "be all forthcoming to me against I come "to Philadelphia, which will be the last of "November. Mr. _____ will forward "to me the inventory, and I will satisfy "you for whatever just demand you may "have against her.
G. CHRISTIE.
October 18, 1799.
I shall, Sir, forbear to make any further remarks on a character, which I deem too insignificant and base to be worthy of further attention from me, with assurance only that the Certificate business shall be attended to in due time, by
WM. DAWSON, 3d.

PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Thursday, Jan. 23.
The committee on that part of the governor's address which relates to the election law of this commonwealth, made report, which was read as follows, viz.
That every act of the legislature ought to be directed by the constitution of this commonwealth, as the only proper legislative guide; and as the constitution declares "that every freeman of the age of twenty one years having resided in the state two years next before the election, and within that time paid a state or county tax, which shall have been assessed at least six months before the election, shall enjoy the rights of an elector: provided that the sons of persons qualified as aforesaid, between the ages of twenty-one and twenty-two years, shall be entitled to vote although they shall not have paid taxes."
The committee are of opinion, that the legislature have no power to admit any to the enjoyment of the elective franchise, who do not come within the description of that article of the constitution above cited, nor to exclude any from that privilege who are included within that article; that as the constitution distinguishes between the right of an elector and that of being elected into office (which in some of the other state constitutions is reciprocal) this distinction, we conceive, leads to the true construction of that article of the constitution before recited. The committee find in the Declaration of Rights, section V. "that elections shall be free and equal." They apprehend the true meaning attached to these expressions is, that at all times to come, election, should be as free as they were at the time when this article was adopted.
The committee are of opinion, that by giving the courts the power of appointing agents to superintend the election, the freedom thereof is endangered, by the influence and interference of men not chosen by, nor responsible to the people.
It further appears to the committee, that as the constitution confines the elective franchise to "freemen" or "citizens" only, regularly enlisted soldiers being more absolutely under the arbitrary direction of their officers, than the most abject slave is under the influence of his master, ought not to be allowed the right of an elector.
The committee are further of opinion that, one of the most essential rights of a citizen, the right of suffrage, under the existing election law, is too much in the power of township assessors and county commissioners, by whose neglect or inadvertency, many may be deprived of their rights of election.
It further appears to the committee, that the districts of the Northern Liberties and Southwark, in the county of Philadelphia, ought to be allowed an additional number of inspectors: they therefore submit the following resolution, viz.
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to bring in a bill to alter and amend the act entitled "an act to regulate the general elections within this commonwealth, on the following principles, viz.
 1. To bring back the elective franchise to that ground on which it is placed by the constitution of this commonwealth, as defined by the first section of the third article.  2. To repeal that part of the law which authorises the court to appoint agents to superintend the elections.  3. To prevent regularly enlisted soldiers from exercising the right of suffrage, and if in the power of the legislature to remove them at a distance from the place where elections are held.  4. To provide against citizens being deprived of their elective franchise, by the wilful or unintentional neglect of the township assessors or county commissioners.  5. To allow an additional number of inspectors in the districts of the Northern Liberties and Southwark, in the county of Philadelphia. 
Ordered to lie on the table.
The committee on that part of the Governor's address which relates to the establishment of schools, having obtained leave, reported a bill, entitled "an act establishing schools throughout the state, in such manner that the poor may be taught gratis," which was read the first time, and
Ordered to lie on the table.
Whereupon, on motion,
Ordered, That Monday, February 3d next, be assigned for the second reading of
the said bill, and that it be the order for that day.
The committee to whom was referred the 3d inst. the petition of a number of the inhabitants of the city of Philadelphia, and the counties of Philadelphia and Montgomery, in favor of Peter Lagaux, made report, which was read as follows, viz.
That they have taken the same into consideration, and are of opinion that however desirable an object it might be to encourage this branch of agriculture in the state of Pennsylvania, yet the present embarrassed state of our finances will not justify the pecuniary aid prayed for in said petition:—They therefore submit the following resolution, viz.
Resolved, That the petitioners have leave to withdraw their petition.
Ordered to lie on the table.
Friday, January 24.
A motion was made by Mr. Preston, seconded by Mr. Fox, and read as follows, viz.
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to join a committee of the Senate (if the Senate shall appoint such committee) to consider and report at such time it will be proper and convenient for the legislature to adjourn, and also what business ought exclusively to be taken up and decided upon during the present session.
On the question, "Will the House agree to the same?"
It was determined in the negative.
The clerk reported that he had presented to the Senate for concurrence the bill, entitled an act to prolong the time for commencing and completing the permanent bridge proposed to be erected over the river Schuylkill, at or near Philadelphia, and informed the Senate that this house had non-concurred the amendments by the Senate on the bill, entitled "an act to provide for the choice of a President and Vice-President of the United States."
Sunday, January 27.
The bill, entitled "an act to provide for the enumeration of the taxable inhabitants of this commonwealth," was read as reported by the committee of the whole house.
The first section being under consideration. A motion was made by Mr. Boileau and seconded by Mr. Snyder to amend the same, by inserting next after the word "taken" in line 9, these words, viz. "and it shall also be the duty of the said commissioners to cause the number of all negroes, mulattoes, or people of colour, held as slaves, within their respective counties, to be carefully and accurately taken, distinguishing their sexes, and as near as may be, their several ages."
On the question, "Will the House agree to the proposed amendment?"
It was determined in the affirmative, and the section as amended, adopted.
Wednesday, January 29.
The committee appointed the 21st inst. to enquire whether any, and (if any) what alteration is necessary in the judiciary system, made report, which was read as follows, viz.
That they have had the subject under consideration, and after mature deliberation, and the most industrious enquiry, they are of opinion, that although there appears to be some defects in the present establishment of the courts of common pleas and quarter sessions, yet the subject being of great importance, the committee do not think it advisable to recommend any alteration, unless they could suggest a complete and systematic arrangement. But as it appears from the multiplicity of petitions on this subject, now before the legislature, that the people are desirous of some alteration, and as the plan to be substituted, is not yet devised, nor fully understood, and the session being now too far advanced to take up the subject, with a view of effecting the object desired, the committee submit the following resolution, viz.
Resolved, That the subject of a new arrangement of the judiciary system, be recommended to the early consideration of the next legislature.
Ordered to lie on the table.
Friday, January 31.
The committee appointed 20th December last, to report a plan for keeping in repair the public roads within this commonwealth, made report, which was read as follows, viz.
That they have had the important subject referred to them under consideration, and are of opinion that however proper the existing law for keeping in repair the public roads may be, as far as it concerns the small county or township roads, it is found totally inadequate to keep in repair the great national roads communicating with the extremities of the State: To remedy this defect, the committee beg leave to suggest the following plan, viz.
That the roads hereafter mentioned shall be declared State roads, and placed under the care of the commissioners of the several counties through which the said roads may pass, to be supported at the joint expence of this commonwealth and of the said counties, and that the judge of the court of common pleas shall have power to appoint an inspector, if they think it necessary, to examine and report to them when the road or any part of it be properly made; and upon report of such inspector, the said judge, shall have power to draw upon the State Treasury for one half of the expence of making and keeping in repair such roads the care of making the roads and keeping them in repair, to rest upon the respective county commissioners.
 1. The road from Philadelphia to Easton on the river Delaware.  2. The road from Lancaster thro' York, Gettysburgh, Black's Gap, Chambersburgh, Bedford, Greensburgh to Pittsburgh. 
3. The road from Philadelphia through Reading, Northumberland, Aaronburgh, Milnbrough, thence to Presqu'isle, called the road now improving at the expence of the State.
4. The road from Philadelphia through Bethlehem, Wildelkarre, to Tioga Point.
The committee therefore submit the following resolutions, viz.
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to report a bill agreeably to the foregoing principles.
Ordered to lie on the table.

UPWARDS OF Eighteen Thousand Persons Of all ages, within four months past, have found relief from HAMILTON'S Worm destroying Lozenges, In various complaints arising from worms and bowels.
RECENT CURES Selected from several hundreds, the authenticity of which, any person may ascertain either by letter or personal application—not being performed in Europe, nobody knows where—but at home. This medicine bears no analogy whatever to others of similar title to commonly complained of, as operating with a degree of violence, sufficient, not only to kill worms, but sometimes to endanger the patient's life; on the contrary, a peculiar excellence of this remedy is, its being suited to every age and constitution, contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is so mild in its operation, that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old, should no worms exist in the body; but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders.
AFFIDAVIT. MICHAEL DUFFY, residing at No. 47, Wilkes Street, Fell's Point, in the city of Baltimore, voluntarily maketh oath, that the following statement is just and true.
In the beginning of May last, my three children, a boy of seven, and two girls, the one five and the other three years of age, were taken very ill, nearly at the same time, of a common fever, as I then supposed; but was soon convinced the disorder was caused by worms—they were frequently troubled with convulsion fits, and violent startings in their sleep, and with almost continual vomiting and purging, particularly the youngest. I made immediate application to a physician of the first reputation, and his medicines were administered with a confidence of success which only increased our disappointment. The children grew daily worse, and I was absolutely without hope of their recovery. The youngest soon appeared almost devoid of animation, and scarcely an inhabitant of this world. In this distressing moment, I was told that Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges had performed many cures in cases equally desperate—I immediately purchased a box, and gave each of them a dose, which in a few hours produced the most desirable effects; the eldest voided a great number of very large worms, and the second thousands of small ones, many of them not a quarter of an inch long—in the youngest they seemed to be consumed, and had the appearance of skin and slimy matter. I repeated the dose agreeable to the paper of directions, and they all speedily recovered a good state of health which they still enjoy, tho' five months have nearly elapsed since they were on the borders of the grave, and the death of the whole appeared to be inevitable. Sworn before me this 26th day of September, 1799. J. SMITH.
LETTER From Mr. John T. Abercromby, Soap and Candle Manufacturer, No. 28, Bridge Street, Baltimore.
TO THE PROPRIETOR OF Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges. Sir, October 22, 1799.
I think it my duty to inform you that I have experienced the happiest effects from your Lozenges, having been much afflicted for four years past, with various complaints caused by worms, particularly a constant pain in my stomach and bowels, frequent and severe head ache, with a general lassitude and weakness, during which time I had the best medical advice that could be obtained from the most skillful physicians I could hear of, both American and European, with out any alleviation of my disorder.
I should, too probably, have continued without relief, but for your Worm Destroying Lozenges, which brought from me an astonishing quantity of small white worms, about the size of a coarse thread, and in a short time; I found myself perfectly free from all my former complaints, and have enjoyed a good state of health for five months past.
I have constantly recommended your medicine, and shall as long as I live, having, from my own experience reason to believe it to be an invaluable and unparallel'd remedy. Should any person wish for further information, I will with pleasure satisfy their enquiries on this subject. JOHN J. ABERCROMBY.
Sir, July 10, 1799.
I had been a long time afflicted with a violent and gnawing pain in my stomach, a dull, heavy, continual head ache, with a frequent swimming in my head, accompanied with dimness of sight and sometimes partial blindness, and was rendered incapable of attending my business, thro' loss of strength; sometimes could scarcely eat a morsel for two or three days; when my appetite would suddenly become astonishingly voracious. I firmly believed myself to be in a consumption, which must soon put a period to my life, when happily hearing of several cures performed by Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges in complaints which could not be accounted for, I took two doses, which expelled an incredible number of small sharp pointed worms; in short, I now enjoy as perfect health and strength, as ever I did in my life, and I believe my cure to be entirely effected by means of your medicine.
My brother witnessing its surprising efficacy was induced to take a dose though in tolerable health, which occasioned him likewise to void a great quantity of worms of the same kind, and thereby probably prevented his experiencing those dreadful disorders with which I was afflicted.
A sincere desire that others in similar circumstances may receive the same benefit, is the reason of my sending you this account. Yours, very respectfully, AQUILA GOLDING.

To the nervous, weak, debilitated, sedentary and consumptive, IS RECOMMENDED, THE CELEBRATED BOTANICAL TEA, Instead of Foreign Tea.
THIS Tea is universally approved of in preference to foreign tea, as the most pleasant, wholesome, enlivening, invigorating, and powerfully restorative ever adopted, for persons of all ages, but particularly those of the above description; as it will infallibly strengthen, and eventually repair a bad constitution.
It is taken for breakfast, instead of foreign tea, and as our first aliment in the morning is designed to recruit the waste of the body from the night's insensible perspiration; it is well known, and an important fact which ought to be borne in the mind of every one, that foreign teas are inadequate to such purposes, as all will allow; it unnerves and wears the substance of the body. This substitute is professionally approved as a salutary and nourishing diet, or as a morning and afternoon beverage.
THE BOTANICAL TEA is singularly efficacious in all cases of inward weakness, trembling or shaking of the hands, loss of appetite, (particularly in the morning) depression of spirits, windy complaints. It speedily relieves head and stomach in gouty or rheumatic cases; and in cases of weak digestion, but particularly after making tea free with the constitution, by an immoderate use of wine, spirituous liquors, or any intemperance; it is happily suited to hot climates, and is adopted and approved of by some of the best families in the United States and in the West Indies, for its nourishing and invigorating properties; and in bilious cases where the appetite has failed, it is a sovereign remedy.
As proofs of the evil tendency from the use of foreign teas, is subjoined the opinions of some of the first physicians in Europe.
ON FOREIGN TEA
"The cause of the palsty is drinking too much tea; many imagine tea has no effect upon the nerves, this however is a mistake; it effects the nerves, which is evident from its causing the hands to shake, preventing sleep, occasioning giddiness, dimness of sight, sickness, &c." Dr. DUCHAN.
"Strong infusions of India Tea, not only unnerve but destroys the bodily functions." Dr. H. SMITH.
And in another publication, Dr. Hugh Smith says, "Tea is hurtful both to the stomach and nerves; it causes phrenesis, delirium, applesickness, and other disorders of the brain, which are produced by the nerves being thus disarranged and debilitated, the digestive faculty of the stomach is much weakened, and the body falling of the restorative juices, must tend to emaciation and the whole frame thus rendered one system of distension and infirmity."
The justly celebrated Dr. Tillot says, "This fashionable beverage, India Tea, is extremely pernicious, it destroys the strength of the stomach the viscera, the blood, the nerves, and eventually the whole body."
Dr. Moliere says, "In bilious complaints, tea is extremely hurtful."
Dr. Fothergill, "Tea is very offensive to the lungs, and impedes respiration; it is therefore highly improper for persons who have a difficulty of breathing, or any complaint of the lungs or nerves."
Dr. Saunders says, (see his Medical Mem.) "Indian tea renders men impotent and women barren; hence we may account for the persons in the higher circles having fewer children, and those in general very weakly and unhealthy."
For more accounts of this tea, see the second edition of Dr. Church's pamphlet.
This botanical tea is calculated to produce the contrary effects, is the result of long and indefatigable study and experience, and by perseveringly adopting its use, will be found to answer the effects herein mentioned.
It is cheaper than India tea—one packet at 75 cents, will last one person for breakfast nearly one month—canisters containing eight packets, five dollars.
The celebrated BOTANICAL TEA is prepared only by Dr. James Church, at his Dispensary, 137 Front Street, near the Fly Market, New-York, and sold wholesale and retail, by Messrs. H. and P. Rice, 16 South Second Street, Philadelphia, and Mr. Jas. Rice, Baltimore. February 15.
FOR ALL DISEASES OF THE EYES.
Church's celebrated Eye Salve.
For several years universally acknowledged as a certain and infallible cure for inflammation, dimness, dryness, blights, itchings, and films in the eyes, proceeding from natural weakness, or from accidents, such as blows, dust, lime, or anything else being thrown into the eyes. It is admirable in natural weakness of sight, in defluxions of rheum, and for all ailments in the eyes after the small pox, measles and fevers; it is singularly efficacious in carrying off all watery and gross humours; and in strengthening the sight. In short, there is no disease to which the eye is subject, but this salve is not a sovereign remedy; many hundreds have experienced its efficacy when in the greatest danger of losing their sight. [Price 75 cents.]

For Nervous Disorders, Female Complaints,

The Cordial Restorative Balsam
Is recommended as a Medicine of specific and unparallel'd virtues for the immediate relief and speedy and permanent cure of the above Disorders, 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 nervine, not only to the weak stomach, but to the whole nervous system; it corrects a vitiated appetite and digestion in the first passages, and assists wonderfully in recovering the tone of the urinary and genital organs;—Hence its efficacy in the most obstinate terminal gouts in men, and corresponding weaknesses in women; and hence it will contribute more surely, surely and honourably towards conjugal happiness, than any of those irritating, diabolical compositions, which are so shamefully administered to the unwary.
It is earnestly recommended to those ladies, who from repeated and difficult labours are afflicted with weaknesses and infirmities; in which cases it is highly useful, strengthening at the same time the stomach, the back, the weakened organs, and the whole constitution.
Those, who in advanced life, feel the consequences of youthful excess, or unfortunate youth, who have brought on themselves a numerous train of evils, will by the use of this find themselves 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 inattention in the earliest part of life, or is sinking under the advance of years, a few doses of this medicine will afford immediate assurance of returning 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 assuredly furnish great relief and comfort, by gently and late invigorating the system; but if it be in the power of medicine to gild the autumn of declining years, and calmly and serenely prolong the close of life beyond its narrow span, this Restorative is capable of effecting that grand desideratum.
Constitutions relaxed, weak or decayed, in men or women, are under the immediate influence of this Restorative.
Old coughs soon relieved and speedily cured.
Poverty of blood and emaciated limbs, will soon 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 selected a few of such cases as have come within his own immediate knowledge, which are published and may be had (gratis) at any of the places where the medicine is sold.
