PHOENIXISM.
(AN ORIGINAL.)
HAVE you not heard the recent tale That fame resounds in every gale, The PHOENIX found on this our shore, For ages never seen before;---
The PHOENIX fam'd, the muses tell, Tho' oft renew'd, yet magic still, Opprest with foliate extirp'd, While age on age roll'd down the stream, For an associate early lights, And wearies Jupiter with cries.
The promise pleas'd, the search begun, But centuries still successless run; The PHOENIX vainly sought the wight, And Phœbus with all-searching light; Tho' lawyers till their fland maintain'd, And g'ew and multiply'd and reign'd, In every court were heird to bray, And ev'n in lenates bore the sway;
But Jove, who boundless and alone, Still holds his adamantine throne, Where high Olympus heads arise In starry regions of the skies, O'er earth's wide surface roll'd his eye To shores beneath the western sky,--- Saw Phœbus greet the wondrous wight, Nor cou'd deny his real right;
And shook the council of his breast; At length he will'd the grand affair, In open council to declare, And ev'n the blameless mortal call, To his immortal council-hall, Bid Hermes down the skies repair, And aid him thro' the fields of air;
Hermes his shining wings display'd, And instant his behest obey'd. But if the wight on Hermes role, Or ærostatic globe bestrode, Or borrowed Hermes' neither wings, The tale no information brings, They soar'd, howe'er, the airy way, With great Apollo, God of day,
And instant reach'd the dome divine, Where Heav'n's eternal splendor shines, There pow'rs of all the Olympian Rate, Conven'd in solemn council-hall. Jove beck' his mirthful daughter dear, And thus he whisper'd in her ear: "Of this affair you know the sum, And near a crisis things are come, To aid the five exert thy sense, I with this promise must dispense,

LONDON, October 4.
By private advices from Paris we learn, the reports circulating there are, that no hostilities will interrupt the harmony subsisting between the English and French Courts with respect to the affairs of Holland; but, that it is extremely problematical in another point of view, whether peace will be of long duration, from the interference of the English Ambassador at Constantinople; who, it is reported says true, much to the credit of his Embassy, and the benefit of his country, has over-reached the French in their Machiavellian policy, and secured to England the Levant trade, to the exclusion of France from those advantages she has long possessed.
The following is a concise description of the place alluded to:
Candia island, the ancient Crete, is situated between 22 and 27 degrees of E. long. and between 35 and 36 degrees of N. lat. in the Mediterranean sea, having the Archipelago on the N. Asia Minor, or Natolia on the N. E. the Morea on the N. W. and Africa on the S. generally reckoned to lie in Asia. There is no considerable river in the island, but many little rivulets of which Lethe is one of the largest; and here is the celebrated Mount Ida, which takes up great part of the middle of the island; and notwithstanding the fine defcriptions we meet with of it in the ancient poets, it is only a large barren rock, destitute of trees and herbage, though the vallies beneath are well replenished with all manner of excellent fruits, and the villages numerous.
Extract of a letter from Portsmouth, Sept. 27.
"We have as fine a fleet of men of war ready for sea as ever sail'd from this port, and every ship well manned, and most of the press'd men have entered, on being promised that their wages and prize money should be regularly paid them; but it is generally believed here, that we shall have no war, as it is well known that the French are not able to engage with so powerful a navy as we have at this time. However, we are told by some officers who are arrived here from London, that in a few days it will be determined, whether we shall have war or peace."
Extract of a letter from Portsmouth, September 30.
"Since the arrival this morning of the Colossus and Scipio from the Eastward with seamen for the fleet, our squadron consists of 12 sail of the line, nine of 74, and three of 64 guns. The Standard which sail'd from hence on Friday for Plymouth with lent men, is hourly expected to return; and should the ships from the Westward receive orders to rendezvous here, which may be immediately looked for if this warlike business continues, we shall have riding at Spithead 18 sail of the line, completely fitted, and ready at a moment's notice to put to sea. The Cape of Good Hope, it is thought, will be our first object."
"Lord Hood intends removing his flag on a moment's notice into the Barfleur, and takes the crew of that ship along with him, which will compleatly man her within 100 men."
A letter from Plymouth, dated Oct. 5, says, "Orders are arrived from the war-office for the 8th and 38th regiments of foot to be in readiness to be embarked as marines. Every thing bears the appearance of war. The Royal Sovereign, of 110 guns, is fitting for sea; she is to be commissioned with the Atlas 98, Impregnable 98, and four 74 gun ships. Admiral Barrington is to hoist his flag on board the Impregnable. The Carnatic 74, Bombay 74, and Standard 64, only wait a wind to proceed to Spithead. The Powerful 74, and Culloden 74, will soon follow, being quite ready. Recruits come in quite fast for the marines, which useful corps is to be augmented immediately."
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 8.
On Friday the 23d ult. Thomas Bache-lor (late a wine cooper the corner of Front and Walnut streets) put an end to his existence by hanging himself in Third Street
near South Street. He had before made some attempts to kill himself, particularly swallowing a large dose of poison, which however was not efficacious.
And about a week before the above, a man near the same place stabbed himself in the breast with a knife, of which he soon after died.
On Saturday evening, the 24th ult. two young men left this city in an open boat, to visit a relation in Burlington, and as nothing has been heard of them since, and the boat was seen bottom upward, it is feared they are lost. A hard gale sprung up about the middle of the same night, which was probably the cause of their disaster.
New-York, Dec. 14.
The Schooner Peggy, Crownenhield, from Salem, and the ship Aurora, Barker, from Philadelphia, are arrived at Baltimore.
Extract of a Letter.
"What think you, dear Sir, of the insensibility and neglect to the representations of the affecting and melancholy situation of a man, who, after the most faithful services for a series of years, without the least allowance for his conduct, has been left to struggle with all the misery, which the consequences of poverty could inflict? Is all mercy banished from the breasts of those men, whose greatness of soul, one would think, should forgive an imprudence, which, all circumstances considered, could by no means be judged to proceed from a principle of a premeditated evil design? Is his age, and his former rank in the army, to be levelled to accept a very fatiguing and to a degree unprofitable office? Does he deserve no attention---and are his misfortunes to be treated with so much indifference by those, who, on a moment's reflection, will conclude, that they are also subject to the changeable vicissitudes of human life? Finally, it remains an unerring truth, that the poor and needy have no helper; but that on the opposite side, there is great power; unrelenting severity against any of our fellow creatures may be permitted, but it also is over-ruled; and the righteous Governor of the universe takes the strictest notice, whether men entrusted with the rod have not exceeded their commission."
A distant correspondent observes, that the author of the Federalist, No. 6, need not have gone even so far as Massachusetts for a reference tending to illustrate the principle he had been asserting, viz. that the ENMITY, interest, hopes and fears of leading individuals, in the communities of which they are members, tend to disturb the peace and tranquility of a nation.
If we had had no Shays among ourselves, that is, desperate debtors, &c. &c. it is not to be supposed that our code of laws since the revolution would have been so disgraceful, as they are said to be in a former No. of the Federalist---and as the laws of a country, especially of Republics, are supposed to be characteristic of the people, what an insult is this on the community at large? And every abuse of that kind must tend to disturb the peace and tranquility of a country as much as one or two riots, and indeed are most frequently the occasion of such riots.---The remedying this evil (and no small one it is) will be among the happy effects expected from the adoption of the proposed Constitution.
A recent Anecdote of two Chimney-sweepers.
Having a bridge to pass, where the toll for one of them amounted to all the money they could raise between them, one of the fellows got into the foot-bag, which the other taking on his back, marched up to the gate, paid the single fare, and passed off with his load, unsuspected.
LECTURES.---The origin of Lectures, says a correspondent, may be attributed to a certain scolding, which Juno, in a fit of jealousy, gave her thunder-bearing husband. If this were the real source, we terrestrials are much obliged to the heavenly Virago, since from her a Lecture on Modern Heads was borrowed. If Juno furnished the subject, the world is much indebted to Geo. Alex. Stevens, the facetious Englishman, who has, with great jocularly, improved on it, and indeed almost carried it to the utmost perfection.
Died, yesterday morning, Mr. RICHARD DEANE, of this city, distiller, to the sincere regret of a very numerous and genteel acquaintance.

THE FEDERALIST, No. XII.
To the People of the State of New-York.
HAVING in the three last numbers taken a summary review of the principal circumstances and events, which depict the genius and fate of other Confederate Governments, I shall now proceed in the enumeration of the most important of those defects, which have hitherto disappointed our hopes, from the system established among ourselves. To form a safe and satisfactory judgment of the proper remedy, it is absolutely necessary that we should be well acquainted with the extent and malignity of the disease.
The next most palpable defect of the subsisting Confederation is the total want of a SANCTION to its laws. The United States as now composed, have no power to exact obedience, or punish disobedience to their resolutions, either by pecuniary mulcts, by a suspension or divestiture of privileges, or in any other constitutional mode. There is no express delegation of authority to them to use force against delinquent members; and if such a right should be ascribed to the Federal head, as resulting from the nature of the local compact between the States, it must be by inference and construction, in the face of that part of the second article, by which it is declared, that is, "each State shall retain every power, "jurisdiction and right, not expressly delegated to the United States in Congress assembled." There is doubtless a striking absurdity in supposing that a right of this kind does not exist, but we are reduced to the dilemma either of embracing that supposition, preposterous as it may seem, or of contravening or explaining away a provision, which has been of late a repeated theme of the eulogies of those, who oppose the new Constitution, and the want of which in that plan, has been the subject of much plausible animadversion and severe criticism. If we are unwilling to impair the force of this applauded provision, we shall be obliged to conclude, that the United States afford the extraordinary spectacle of a Government, destitute even of the shadow of constitutional power to enforce the execution of its own laws. It will appear from the specimens which have been cited, that the American Confederacy in every other institution of a similar kind, and exhibits a new and unexampled phenomenon in the political world.
The want of a mutual guarantee of the State Governments is another capital imperfection in the Federal plan. There is nothing of this kind declared in the articles that compose it; and to imply a tacit guarantee from considerations of utility, would be a still more flagrant departure from the clause which has been mentioned, than to imply a tacit power of coercion, from the like considerations. The want of a guarantee, though it might in its consequences endanger the Union, does not so immediately attack its existence as the want of a constitutional sanction to its laws.
Without a guarantee, the assistance to be derived from the Union in repelling those domestic dangers, which may sometimes threaten the existence of the State Constitutions, must be renounced. Usurpation may rear its crest in each State, and trample upon the liberties of the people; while the national Government could legally do nothing more than behold its encroachments with indignation and regret. A successful rebellion may erect a tyranny on the ruins of order and law, while no succour could constitutionally be afforded by the Union to the friends and supporters of the Government. The tempestuous situation, from which Massachusetts has scarcely emerged, evinces that dangers of this kind are not merely speculative. Who can determine what might have been the issue of her late convulsions, if the malecontents had been headed by a Caesar or by a Cromwell? Who can predict what effect a despotism established in Massachusetts, would have upon the liberties of New-Hampshire or Rhode-Island; of Connecticut or New-York.
The inordinate pride of State importance has suggested to some minds an objection to the principle of a guarantee in the Federal Government; as involving an officious interference in the domestic concerns of the members. A scruple of this kind would deprive us of one of the principal advantages to be expected from Union; and can only flow from a misapprehension of the nature of the provision itself.---It could be no impediment to reforms of the State Constitutions by a majority of the people in a legal and peaceable mode. This right would remain undiminished. The guarantee could only operate against changes to be effected by violence. Towards the prevention of calamities of this kind too many checks cannot be provided. The peace of society, and the stability of Government, depend absolutely on the efficacy of the precautions adopted on this head. Where the whole power of the Government is in the hands of the people, there is the less pretence for the use of violent remedies, in partial or occasional disorders of the State.

The natural cure for an ill administration, is a popular or representative Constitution, is a change of men. A guarantee by the national authority would be as much levelled against the usurpations of rulers, as against the ferment and outrages of faction and sedition in the community.
The principle of regulating the contributions of the States to the common treasury by QUOTAS is another fundamental error in the Confederation. Its repugnancy to an adequate supply of the national exigencies has been already pointed out, and has sufficiently appeared from the trial which has been made of it. I speak of it now solely with a view to equality among the States. Those who have been accustomed to contemplate the circumstances, which produce and constitute national wealth, must be satisfied that there is no common standard, or barometer, by which the degrees of it can be ascertained. Neither the value of lands nor the numbers of the people, which have been successively proposed as the rule of State contributions, has any pretension to being a just representative. If we compare the wealth of the United Netherlands with that of Russia or Germany or even of France, and if we at the same time compare the total value of the lands, and the aggregate population of that contracted district, with the total value of the lands, and the aggregate population of the immense regions of either of the three last mentioned countries, we shall at once discover that there is no comparison between the proportion of either of these two objects and that of the relative wealth of those nations. If the like parallel were to be run between several of the American States, it would furnish a like result. Let Virginia be contrasted with North-Carolina, Pennsylvania with Connecticut, or Maryland with New-Jersey, and we shall be convinced that the respective abilities of those States, in relation to revenue, bear little or no analogy to their comparative stock in lands or to their comparative population. The position may be equally illustrated by a similar process between the counties of the same State. No man who is acquainted with the State of New-York will doubt, that the active wealth of King's County bears a much greater proportion to that of Montgomery, than it would appear to be, if we should take either the total value of the lands or the total numbers of the people as a criterion!
The wealth of nations depends upon an infinite variety of causes. Situation, soil, climate, the nature of the productions, the nature of the Government, the genius of the citizens—the degree of information they possess—the state of commerce, of arts, of industry—these circumstances and many more too complex, minute, or adventitious, to admit of a particular specification, occasion differences hardly conceivable in the relative opulence and riches of different countries. The consequence clearly is, that there can be no common measure of national wealth; and of course, no general or stationary rule, by which the ability of a State to pay taxes can be determined. The attempt therefore to regulate the contributions of the members of a Confederacy, by any such rule, can not fail to be productive of glaring inequality and extreme oppression.
This inequality would of itself be sufficient in America to work the eventual destruction of the Union, if any mode of enforcing a compliance with its requisitions could be devised. The suffering States would not long consent to remain associated upon a principle which distributed the public burthens with so unequal a hand; and which was calculated to impoverish and oppress the citizens of some States, while those of others would scarcely be conscious of the small proportion of the weight they were required to sustain. This however is an evil inseparable from the principle of quotas and requisitions.
There is no method of steering clear of this inconvenience but by authorizing the national Government to raise its own revenues in its own way. Imposts, excises, and in general all duties upon articles of consumption may be compared to a fluid, which will in time find its level with the means of paying them. The amount to be contributed by each citizen will in a degree be at his own option, and can be regulated by an attention to his resources. The rich may be extravagant, the poor can be frugal. And private oppression may always be avoided by a judicious selection of objects proper for such impositions. If such inequalities should arise in some States from duties on particular objects, these will in all probability be counterbalanced by proportional inequalities in other States from the duties on other objects. In the course of time and things, an equilibrium, as far as it is attainable, in so complicated a subject, will be established every where. Or if inequalities should still exist they would neither be so great in their degree, so uniform in their operation, nor so odious in their appearance, as those which would necessarily spring from quotas upon any scale, that can possibly be devised.
It is a signal advantage of taxes on articles of consumption, that they contain in their own nature a security against excess.
They prescribe their own limit; which cannot be exceeded without defeating the end proposed—that is an extension of the revenue. When applied to this object, the saying is as just as it is witty, that "in political arithmetic, two and two do not always make four." If duties are too high they lessen the consumption—the collection is eluded; the product to the treasury is not so great as when they are confined within proper and moderate bounds. This forms a complete barrier against any material oppression of the citizens, by taxes of this class, and is itself a natural limitation of the power of imposing them.
Impositions of this kind usually fall under the denomination of indirect taxes, and must always constitute the chief part of the revenue raised in this country. Those of the direct kind, which principally relate to lands and buildings, may admit of a rule of apportionment. Either the value of land, or the number of the people may serve as a standard. The State of Agriculture, and the populousness of a country, have been considered as nearly connected with each other. And as a rule for the purpose intended, numbers in the view of simplicity and certainty, are entitled to a preference. In every county it is an Herculean task to obtain a valuation of the land; in a country imperfectly settled and progressive in improvement, the difficulties are increased almost to impracticability. The expence of an accurate valuation is in all situations a formidable objection. In a branch of taxation where no limits to the discretion of the Government are to be found in the nature of the thing, the establishment of a fixed rule, not incompatible with the end, may be attended with fewer inconveniences than to leave that discretion altogether at large.

For the Daily Advertiser. To the RECTOR of the North Church. SIR,
Sometimes visit your place of performance, and am generally pleased with the decency and good order observed during service—at the same time I cannot help whispering in soft language, an inconveniency to which I am frequently exposed. You must know, Sir, that my uncle's great grandfather was acquainted with the steward's wife of the third cousin to the present proprietor of the large square pew on the right hand side as you front the belfry:—from this, being entitled to a seat in the conspicuous circle, I have often attempted to intrude my pretty phiz, but in vain; a powerful combination of Lawyers, Doctors, Dominies, &c. &c. always disappointed me. —I therefore pray that the Crier of the congregation make proclamation to have the way cleared in future.

Decent lodgings for Students may be had in the neighbourhood, on the most reasonable terms; and particular care will be taken to furnish the School with every necessary accommodation. Those gentlemen who send their children to this Academy, may depend on their being treated with paternal tenderness, faithfully instructed in the various branches of Science, and carefully inspected with regard to their moral deportment.

Upper-Salem, Dec. 8, 1787. N. B. A neat set of Globes have been procured for the benefit of Students in Geography and Astronomy.
To be Sold at private Sale, (And immediate possession given to the purchaser.) SIX LOTS OF GROUND, each of 25 feet front and rear, and 100 feet deep, in the out ward of the city of New-York, contiguous to the East-river, viz. Three LOTS on the south side of Lombard-street, on which is a good Dwelling House, containing six rooms and a kitchen; likewise a workshop and stable, a pump with good water, and a cistern near the door; and three Lots on the north side of Cherry-street. Likewise adjoining the fore-mentioned six Lots, is a good wharf, and a slip in it, for the convenience of hauling up timber; which wharf has been long made use of as a ship yard, and is probably, from its situation and depth of water, as well adapted for the ship building business, as any on the river; and from its local advantages, must be a very improving interest to the purchaser.

In Chancery, THOMAS MUMMUCH as it ap- Abraham Lent, com- pears to this honora- plainant, ble Court, that a Bill has vs. been filed therein by Abra- George Ogilvie, de- ham Lent, assignee of Med- fendant. calf Ede, mortgagee, a- gainst the defendant George Ogilvie, mortgagor, to obtain a decree to the sale of certain premises therein mentioned to have been mortgaged by the said defendant George Ogilvie, to the said Med- calf Ede, and by him assigned to the said Abraham Lent; whereupon process of subpoena to appear and answer hath been duly issued and returned, and that the said defendant George Ogilvie, hath not entered his appearance in this suit as according to the rules of this Court the same ought to have been entered in case the said proceedings had been duly served. And an affidavit having been made to the satisfac- tion of this Court, that the said defendant George Ogilvie, has withdrawn himself out of this state, and cannot upon due enquiry be found within the same, so as to be served with the said proceedings, which issued on the filing of the bill of complaint in this cause: Wherefore it is ordered, on motion of Mr. Greyfield, of counsel for the complainant, that the said George Ogilvie appear to the said bill, on or before the twenty-ninth day of January next; and in default thereof, that the complainant's said bill be taken pro confesso, to the end that a decree may be made for the sale of the said mortgaged premises, or such part thereof as to this Court shall appear just and right. And it is further ordered that a copy of this order be inserted in, at least, two of the pub- lic news-papers printed in this state of New-York, for the space of eight weeks successively.

THOMAS BURLING, CABINET and CHAIR-MAKER, At the Sign of the Chair, near the Chapel, in Beck- man-street, formerly Chapel-street. ACKNOWLEDGES the many favors received from his friends and the public, and would wish to inform them that he has opened a Ware Room of MAHOGANY and other FURNITURE, on a more ex- tensive plan than heretofore; and for the conveni- ence of strangers and others, who may resort to, or settle in this city, he means to keep an assortment where they may be supplied on the shortest notice; for it must hurt the feelings of every citizen to ob- serve the daily impositions strangers are liable to, in purchasing new furniture at these public vendues. He served his time with Samuel Prince, a consid- erable character in his way, and esteemed one of the best workmen in this city; and as he has laid in a stock of the best Mahogany and other Wood, and means to employ the best hands, and sell his work at the lowest rate good work sells at, he flatters himself with being able to give satisfaction to his customers. Bed Chairs for the sick having been much wanted in this city, said Burling has provided some to let. Nov. 10. tf.

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 base 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 sag 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 refuse 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.

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, but go 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 stiff 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 settled aches and pains in the head, swellings, 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 gra- vel, and effectually cure all obstructions of the urine, or ulcers in the kidneys. They at once strike at the true cause of the fevers, and entirely destroy it, and all febricitant 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 diuretick, 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, cau- ses a good appetite, and helps digestion. It has 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 putrefaction are the forerunners of all distempers; therefore, no better phyic can be taken for all ages, sexes, and condi- tions, from infancy to 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. GAINE, at his Book-stores and Printing Office, in Hanover-square.
Diagnostick signs of Worms. PALENESS in the face, itching of the nose, hol- lowness of the eyes, grating of the teeth when asleep, dunness, pains and heaviness in the head, a dry cough, itching in the fundament, white and thick urine, unquiet sleep, often starting, loth appe- tite, swelled belly, gnawing and biting about the stomach, frightful dreams, extreme thirst, the bo- dy decayed and lean, fits, often vomiting, thinking breath, &c.
Directions for taking them. A Child from 1 to 2 years may 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.
