FOR THE CURE OF FITS.
The patent Antispasmodic Elixir. Convulsion, Hysterics, or Epileptic, Falling Fits, Are effectually cured by this excellent medicine. Its virtues are absolutely specific and unparalleled. It has failed in no instance within the knowledge of the proprietor (where taken agreeable to the directions, and with perseverance) the most dreadful Fits ever known. One case of cure only is subjected 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 15 years! and that to so violent a degree as to require 12 men to hold me in them, to prevent me dashing myself to pieces. They would generally last me 3, 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. This deponent further maketh oath, and saith, that it is now two years since he was first cured of his fits, and he has no return whatever of them since. JAMES POCOCK. Sworn before me at the Mansion-house, this 29th day of August, 1796. William Curtis, Mayor. 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. Rice, 16, South Second Street, Philadelphia. February 16. cozw
To the nervous, weak, debilitated, sedentary and consumptive, IS RECOMMENDED, THE CELEBRATED BOTANICAL TEA, Infused 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 on the mind of every one, that foreign teas are inadequate to such purposes, as all will allow; it un-nerves and wears the substance of the solids. 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 spirit, windy complaints. It speedily relieves the head and stomach in gouty or rheumatic cases, and in cases of weak digestion, but particularly after making too 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 first families in the United States and in the West Indies, for its nourishing and invigorating properties; and is 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 palsy is drinking too much tea; many imagine tea has no ill 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. BUCHAN.
"Strong infusions of India Tea, not only un-nerves 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 phrenitis, 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 recruiting juices, must tend to emaciation and the whole frame thus rendered one system of distress 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. Bathurst 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 few children, and those in general very sickly 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 lift one person for breakfast nearly one month—cannisters containing eight packets, five dollars.
The celebrated BOTANICAL TEA is prepared only by Dr. James Church, at his Dispensary, No. 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.

TO THE PATRONAGE OF A liberal and enlightened Community IS SUBMITTED THE PROSPECTUS OF A New Daily Paper, TO BE PUBLISHED UNDER THE TITLE OF THE OBSERVER, AND Daily Repository of useful Information.
IT will doubtless be deemed a hazardous undertaking to present to the public eye proposals for a new Gazette, when so many are already in possession of the public patronage. News-papers so much more generally diffused throughout America than perhaps any other portion of the globe, may become either engines of mischief or the implements of useful information—either disseminate good, or scatter poison, among thousands; and although it may be presumptuous in the Editor of that now proposed to expect that its utility will be great, yet he may be admitted to declare, that it shall not willingly be made the means of doing evil. His endeavors will be applied to render The Observer in some degree conducive to the attainment of knowledge as well as to the communication of news—to enlighten the understanding—to improve the morals—to beget, or to confirm, a reverence for the sacred principles of Christianity. For this purpose it is intended—To furnish the most recent foreign and domestic intelligence; To give useful Prices Current at home and abroad, and other commercial information; To select from literary productions such portions as may gratify taste and induce improvement; To unfold and enforce sound and just views of government; To aid the great interests of piety and morality. To present occasionally—Improvements in the arts and sciences—in agriculture and domestic economy; Proceedings of the General and State Legislatures; Reports of the Heads of Departments, and of interesting cases adjudged in the several courts of the United States, &c. Reviews of foreign and domestic literature; Anecdotes and characters of distinguished persons; Statistical tables; Meteorological observations; Appointments; Marriages, Births, Deaths. With these proposals the subscriber diffidently submits himself to the public. He is well aware of the importance and magnitude of the undertaking. Solicitous for the fate of his native land, and viewing with anxious fears and hopes the success of a government created by the joint exertions of wisdom and virtue, and conducted with sound policy and genuine patriotism, he feels himself sincerely interested in promoting such measures and principles as he believes essential to public happiness and national prosperity.
CONDITIONS. I. The Observer shall be printed with a neat type, and on paper of equal size and quality with the present Philadelphia daily papers. II. It shall be published every evening, and regularly sent to the houses of the city subscribers. To others it will be forwarded according to their respective instructions. III. The price will be Eight Dollars per annum to those who reside in the city—and Nine Dollars to all others. The additional dollar is to defray the expense of enclosing and directing their papers. IV. One half of the price to be paid at the time of subscribing, and the other half at the expiration of twelve months from the publication of the first number. The succeeding payments to be half yearly. V. Advertisements that do not exceed in length the breadth of the column will be 67 cents for the first, and 33 cents for every additional insertion. Those of greater length will be charged in the same proportion. ZACHARIAH POULSON, jun. March 8, 1800. fnwtf.

PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 10. Jussum et tenacem propositi virum, Non civium ardor prava jubentium, Non vulnus instantis tyranni, Mente quait solida.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Philadelphia to his friend in Lancaster, March 8, 1800.
"You enquire 'what are Congress doing,' I am sorry to inform you that they have not yet finished the subject of Robbins, learnedly investigating abstract questions of no sort of public utility, as for instance, if Nash had been Robbins and Robbins had been an American, and as an American he had been impressed, and having been an American and having been impressed and supposing him to be really guilty of the crimes charged, whether in that case it was committing murder within the stipulation of the treaty, or was it piracy, and if it were piracy and not murder, did it come under the demands of the treaty, and supposing it piracy and murder, whether (coming under the national obligation to deliver him up) 'twould be proper or improper for the Executive to direct that he should be surrendered to the officers of his Britannic Majesty, provided, &c. or whether the Judiciary ought to have complied with the demand without such direction or requisition, & a dozen other such ifs and suppositions that would defy the subtlety of Aristotle to analyze and explain—nor is this all—I am told there is something about Toussaint to follow immediately, of the same nature; and when they have finished Randolph, Robbins and Toussaint, 'tis thought they will be ready to adjourn."
"Believe me, dear Sir, this war of speeches is the greatest calamity ever befel a nation; it is manifestly worse than an English war, an Indian war, or a French war. Its first operation is an enormous expense; the next is national degradation, and the last is national immorality and loss of public virtue, poisoning and enervating the whole community, and leaving the body politic totally incapable of discharging those functions absolutely necessary for its own preservation; it has done so in all republics and will inevitably do so here if the causes are not corrected in time."
(CIRCULAR.)
The Philadelphia Medical Society, desirous of increasing the stock of useful medical knowledge, have determined to offer a MEDAL of the value of sixty dollars, for the best dissertation in answer to the following question: "What are the effects of the following medicines upon the human body, especially upon the pulse, viz.

Extract of a letter from an officer on board the Congress, dated Hampton Roads, February 24.
"We are now in the Bay, about two miles from Hampton Roads, where we were obliged to come to an anchor, in consequence of carrying away our [jury] fore-top mast, which will be replaced this evening, and with the morning tide we shall go as far up towards Norfolk, as the water will admit. It is very uncertain what arrangements may take place with respect to the officers and crew of this ship, as it will be a considerable time before she can be fitted for sea. From the important nature of our voyage, it is probable, if the frigate Chesapeake of 44 guns, now fitting out at Norfolk, is in a forward state, she will be ordered out in out ahead, and our ship's company turned over to her."
"The fate of the Essex is to us unknown. We are willing to hope that she weathered the gale without sustaining much injury, and has proceeded on the voyage."
"Poor Bofworth perished in discharging with alacrity and gallantry, a most important and hazardous duty. The word to cut away the main-top mast, was no sooner passed, than he was up the shrouds."

New York, March 8.
Last evening, the East India ship Orion, from Boston, anchored in this harbor, in ballast. In coming out from Boston, by the inattention of the Pilot, she was ran on shore, since which, from the injury received, she has made six feet of water an hour, and it was with great difficulty she reached this port: her crew, however, were relieved on Tuesday last by 20 men who were sent from this port to aid in getting her up.
We are informed that the Orion was formerly an English East India ship, called the Raymond, but having been captured by the French, and sent into the Isle of France, was there purchased by an American Consular for a house in Boston, where she arrived in May last, with a valuable cargo, she is burthen one thousand tons, and carries 36 guns, and 3 cannonades—is to be loaded here by Messrs. Gouverneur and Kemble, and proceed on an India voyage.
On Friday last, touched in the Port of Stonington, a Vineyard Sound Pilot boat; by the people we learn, that a out a week since, a Schooner from the Southward, arrived at Holmes's Hole, the captain of which informed, that a few days before, at the distance of 6 leagues S. S. W. from Grythead, he came across a sloop, with her main laying across her, it being calm he sent his boat on board, found no person on board, found no person nor boat, but several ozon and one bundle of hay; she was nearly full of water, but from several circumstances they concluded that she had not been long in that situation. On her stern was printed, "The * of Saybrook." * Our informant had forgotten her name.

The following is an extract of a letter from James Sower to the Secretary of the Navy. It was written at sea, (soon after the capture of the British frigate Congress) in the expectation of an opportunity of sending it on immediately; but none offered before her arrival at Norfolk.
"On board frigate Congress, at sea Jan. 14, 1800."
"Under the impression of the most poignant regret, I have the misfortune to report to you Sir, the disastrous situation of the United States frigate Congress under my command. I failed from Newport on the 6th inst. accompanied by the Essex frigate capt. Preble, having under convoy, a ship and a brig, belonging to Philadelphia; and a small ship from New Haven, but finding them to fail very heavily, a day or two of three being in ballast only, on the day succeeding that on which I left Newport, I determined on leaving them: and with the Essex to make the best of my way, to carry into effect, the instructions, with which you had been pleased to honor me. The first three or four days subsequent to leaving port, we had the winds far northwardly, the weather cool, attended with snow and hail. On Saturday the 11th the wind veered to the southward and came on to blow very fresh, attended with warm rain, and a heavy sea: this weather produced an astonishing effect upon my rigging (which had previously been in very good order) it stretching so much as to induce apprehensions, for the safety of the masts. The weather being such as to preclude the practicability of getting it up: I caused the kites to be got up to succour the masts, and the rigging to be twisted; but unfortunately every step taken to support the masts proved futile. On Sunday morning the 12th it blowing hard, and a heavy sea running, at half past six the mainmast sprung about eight feet above the upper deck: I immediately caused the main yard to be lowered down: (the top gallant yard having previously been furl'd down, and the top gallant masts hoisted) on consultation with the officers it was decided as affording the only probable means of saving the mainmast, to endeavour to cut away the main top-mast. This was immediately attempted; Mr. Bofworth my fourth lieutenant, with 4 or 5 smart active men, going into the top to perform that service; while in its execution the mainmast unfortunately gave way, and in its fall involved the loss of that active, deserving officer; the other men who were aloft, and engaged in the same service, were all happily saved. The fall of the mainmast carried away the mizen topmast, with the head of the mizen mast. Being under an apprehension that from the roughness of the sea, the hull of the ship might be essentially injured by the action of the wreck, was induced to clear it from the ship with all possible expedition, by which means a very small part only of rigging and sails attached to those masts were saved. I now turned all my attention to, and made use of every practicable exertion to preserve the foremast; the wind still continuing to blow hard with a very heavy sea, and the ship from the loss of her after masts, laying in the trough and labouring very much; at half past 12 she rolled away her fore topmast; soon after which it was discovered that the bowsprit was very badly sprung just without the gammoning. I immediately caused the jib boom to be rigged up, and endeavoured to secure the bowsprit by strong lashings around the heel of the jib boom; at the same time getting up tackles to the foremast head to secure the mast (which was already sprung) and to relieve, in some measure the stress upon the bowsprit, caused by the fore and fore preamer stays. It is with great regret I am to add that all my endeavours proved of no farther consequence, than probably to retard, for a very little time what eventually took place, as at half past 3 P. M. the bowsprit gave way, and at the same instant the foremast went over the side, leaving us totally dismasted, and with the loss of the principal part of the sails and rigging, which in our then situation it was not practicable to preserve. Thus, Sir, we were left in the short space of a few hours, in a most deplorable situation, entirely at the mercy of the winds and waves; and thus my expectations of being enabled to render important services to my fellow-citizens, by affording a protection to their commerce, were at once mar'd. I hope, Sir, you will do me the justice to believe that this misfortune (which I most sensibly feel) is not attributable to any negligence on my part; every thing practicable having been attempted to ward off the evil which the nature of the circumstances would admit."
ENVOYS TO FRANCE.
Extract of a letter from a respectable gentleman, at Providence, to his friend in this town, dated February 28.
"News has been received here this day from Charleston, that our commissioners had arrived at Paris, and been received with tokens of general respect and joy. The information reached Charleston by a ship from London, in a short passage. I have not seen the papers; but the whole will be in print to-morrow. I assure you, however, that such information is really in the Charleston papers."
Since preparing the above letter, we have been informed, by a gentleman from Providence, that the vessel which arrived there from Charleston, was commanded by captain Cooley, and left that city February 21—That he said he brought papers, containing intelligence received by a late arrival from Europe, that our envoys had reached Paris, and been well received; and that the Consuls had decreed that the American flag should be respected by the French cruisers.
CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
SATURDAY, March 8.
The House resumed the consideration of the report of the committee of the whole on Mr. Livingston's resolutions, and the question for agreeing with the committee in their disagreement to the said resolutions, after a lengthy speech in favour of them, by Mr. Nicholas, was taken by ayes and nays as follows:

Mr. Harper then called for an adjournment, which was opposed by Mr. Macon, who wished the House now to go into committee of the whole on Mr. Bayard's resolution, appropriating, the conduct of the Executive with respect to the requisition for Robbins, and that the question upon it might be taken this day.
The question for an adjournment was put and carried—ayes 52.
Legislature of Pennsylvania.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
SATURDAY, February 15.
The House resumed the consideration of the report of the committee on the judiciary system, postponed the 1st instant.
And the resolution therein contained being under consideration.
A motion was made by Mr. Boileau, and seconded by Mr. Udree, to postpone the further consideration thereof, in order to introduce the following as a substitute, viz.
Whereas the present establishment of the county courts are found to be burdensome and expensive, and do not in many respects answer the purpose for which they were instituted, by reason of the non-attendance of the judges, and in many instances they all live in the same part of the county, and consequently cannot be acquainted with the inhabitants generally in the other parts, nor with their local wants and concerns.
And whereas the complaints against the former practice of holding courts by the justices of the peace only, may, in a great measure, be obviated by having a president learned in the law as at present, and a great saving of expense obtained by a different organization of the county courts: Therefore,
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to bring in a bill, organizing the courts of common pleas, quarter sessions of the peace and orphan's court, in such manner as to have a circuit judge for a district, composed of not more than three nor less than five counties, who shall have a competent salary; and the justices of the peace in their respective counties, or a part of them divided into classes, who shall in rotation sit on the bench to assist the president in holding the courts aforesaid, and shall receive dollars per day, for every day they shall attend the said courts; and to repeal "An act to establish the judicial courts of this commonwealth in conformity to the alterations and amendments in the Constitution."
On the question.—Will the House agree to postpone for the purpose aforesaid?
Yea 31.—Nays 34.
So it was determined in the negative, and the resolution adopted.
MONDAY, February 17.
Mr. Hall presented a petition from the select and common councils of the city of Philadelphia, praying that the bill now pending for dividing the said city in wards may be postponed to a day, which was read, and
On motion, and by special order, the same was read the second time.
Ordered, That it be referred to the committee of the whole House on the said bill.
A motion was made by Mr. Preston, seconded by Mr. Kepple, and read as follows, viz.
Resolved, That this House will meet at nine o'clock in the evening of every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday during the remainder of the session, unless otherwise ordered by a majority of two thirds of the House.
A motion was made by Mr. Frailey, and seconded by Mr. Conrad, to amend the same, by striking out the words "a majority of two thirds of."
Which was agreed to.
The Legislature of this State will adjourn next Monday.—We have not heard the fate of a motion said to be laid on the table of the House of Representatives a few days ago, for removing the seat of government back to Philadelphia.
Gentlemen who left New York on Saturday afternoon at 5 o'clock, inform that there was no late arrival there from Europe, or any other news when they came away.

9th Will not all these together make a book, as generally useful and convenient as ever entered a counting house or store?
10th Will not the whole, when comprised in a quarto volume of from 200 to 225 pages, be worth two dollars?

TERMS
Of Richard Folwell, in Philadelphia,
FOR SUBSCRIBING TO THE
JOURNALS OF CONGRESS,
From the commencement
Of the American War, in 1774, to
the present time,
INCLUDING
The Reports of Heads of Departments, or
Committees, and other Official and Private Papers of that Body, now first permitted to be made public.
TERMS.
THE work will be printed on a fine paper, and a new neat type, in large octavo.
Each volume will contain above 500 pages, neatly bound and lettered.
Uniformity in size, paper, and binding, will be observed throughout the work; so that, while the subscribers become possessed of a valuable record, an ornament may be added to their libraries.
The price to subscribers will be 2 dollars 75 cts. per volume, in boards, and 3 dollars whole bound; but, as the publisher does not intend to print more than the number subscribed for, a considerable rise on the price may be expected to non-subscribers.
Each volume will contain about one third less of letter-press than the original edition; but, as the publisher is not yet enabled to determine the extent of the Private Journals, which he may be allowed to make public, he cannot ascertain the number of volumes which will comprise the work.
Payments to be made on delivery of each volume.
Subscribers will have at their option, either to subscribe for the whole of the Journals, up to the present time, or to those only of the Old Congress prior to the organization of the Federal Government.
IN all countries, the proceedings in the commencement of their governments, are lost in darkness and obscurity, owing to a carelessness in the succeeding generation, to preserve the public records, and the attention of the nation in those rude ages, being called off from their domestic concerns, to engage in wars and conquest. Of what infinite value would the laws of Alfred be, had they been transmitted to our days? Time, that destroys every thing, enhances the value of well authenticated public records, and renders them almost invaluable. It is hoped, that America's will, therefore, cheerfully contribute their assistance in transmitting to posterity the labours of their ancestors—founders of the Columbian nation.
The work will certainly be advanced with expedition and promptitude. The following will show the support it has already acquired:
"Philadelphia, June 15, 1798."
"To the Honorable the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States."
"The MEMORIAL of the Subscribers, Citizens, &c. of Philadelphia,
"Respectfully represents,
"That having, in our respective avocations, frequent occasions to recur to the Journals of Congress, we experience inconvenience by the scarcity of them: That we understand that Richard Folwell, printer, of Philadelphia, has had it in contemplation to print that public record; and that he hath obtained partial countenance from many individuals; but that he has delayed prosecuting the work, in expectation of encouragement from government, that may adequately indemnify him. We, therefore, respectfully solicit, as the publication is necessary to be disseminated among public bodies, that Congress will, in their wisdom render him such additional encouragement, to that which he has obtained from private individuals, as to enable him to proceed with the work

This medicine possesses wonderful efficacy in all nervous disorders, Gts, head aches, weakness, heaviness and lowness of spirits, dimness of sight, constipated thoughts and wanderings of the mind, vapours and melancholy, and all kinds of hysterical complaints, gradually go off by the use of this famous Cordial.

JUST RECEIVED, AND FOR SALE By WILLIAM Y. BIRCH, STATIONER, No. 17 South Second Street, HAMILTON'S ELIXIR, A SOVEREIGN REMEDY For Colds, obstinate Coughs, Catarrhs, Asthma, Sore-throats, and approaching Consumption.
THOUSANDS are too well acquainted with
the nature and effects of empirical medicines daily offered for the cure of the above complaints; dear bought experience has taught them that oily and heating medicines joined with strong opiates (or sleepy drugs) repeated doses of which, flatter and deceive the patient for the present, by procuring momentary ease; experience, I say, has taught thousands that the common opiates and balsams, as they are called, finally aggravate every disorder of the breast and lungs in their most distressing symptoms; that they load the stomach and impair the digestion, inflame the whole system, increase the difficulty of breathing, and excite fever.—But the qualities of this valuable discovery are evinced by perfectly opposite effects. A SINGLE TRIAL WILL PROVE that it restores the determination of the fluids to the surface of the body, and brings on the common, healthful perspiration; that it dislodges and evacuates the tough, viscid phlegm, or mucus, strengthens the weakened vessels of the lungs, loosens the acrimonious humours which irritate the lungs, and finally discharges them. Thus striking at the root of the disorder, the symptoms are of course, effectually and permanently conquered, the reverse of common medicines, which weaken the constitution and give strength to the disorder, for the sake of moderating for the present, some of its painful effects.
TO PARENTS
Who may have Children afflicted with the
HOOPING COUGH.
This disorder is of the first magnitude, as it affords immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable; the Elixir is in perfectly agreeable and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.

THE RESTORATIVE POWDER

FOR THE CURE OF CORNS.

It therefore recommends it with confidence to every person so afflicted, as an efficacious and certain cure.

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 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 nerve, not only to the weak stomach, but to the whole nervous system; 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 feminal glets in men, and corresponding weaknesses in women; and hence it will contribute more safely, 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, in 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 fate 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 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 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. Prepared (only) by the Inventor and sole Proprietor, Dr. James Church, at his Dispensary, No. 137, Front Street, near the Fly market, New York;—and sold by Messrs H. and P.
