HAPPY DISCOVERY.
A certain Cure for the alarming and dreadful Disorder The Yellow Fever.
As well as any other dangerous partial fever, fever and ague, and other inveterate and complicated disorders, by the use of the
POUDRE UNIQUE.
WELL known and patented in England, France, Poland, and all the capital cities in Europe, where the most astonishing cures have been effected on persons judged incurable by all physicians. In a Treatise printed in London, on the properties of this powder, by T. Seymour, M. D. late Physician to his Majesty, there are stated two hundred cases, where this most valuable remedy has proved infallible, in all kind of fevers, pleurisy, bloody flux, intermitting rheumatism, sciatica, apoplexy, paralysis, yellow jaundice, ringworm, worms in children and in grown persons, white, chronic lead and stomach aches, colic and nephritis or stone diseases, the king's evil, scurvy and the most inveterate and complicated universal disease. It is likewise the best preparative for the small-pox and measles; or the greatest utility for young as well as for older ladies at the critical epoch of their life. The efficacy of this powder in several of the above diseases has been discovered by chance, and so it has been in the yellow fever last year, by Mr. Mahy, who cured several by administering only two of the said powders, and lost not a single patient which he undertook to cure, as proved and attested by the here-annexed certificates, whose original may be seen at Andrew Haffey's umbrella Shop. No. 131, corner of Chestnut and Fourth streets, the only place where these powders are to be had, with proper directions for the use of them.—Price two dollars. The usefulness and certainty of this remedy being so great for so many dangerous disorders, any person willing to be provided with these powders, will please to apply very soon, as the quantity at hand is not very large, and it is doubtful if for a long time, or if ever any other person will be imported, the secret remaining only in the hands of the inventor, in Europe, and never being communicated to, or discovered by any other person. N. B. In the yellow and purplish fevers, this powder must be taken the second, or at least the third day. We the subscribers, during the late sickness in this city, having taken the yellow fever, applied to Mr. Mahy for his medical assistance, we do hereby certify, that by a certain powder, called the Poudre Unique, we were perfectly recovered from the said fatal sickness, and from an experience of the happy effects of the above most valuable medicine, consider it our duty to make the same known, for the benefit of our fellow citizens. Margaret Jones, Mylles O'Connor, Jesse Turner, Christian Rebecca Dow, Catherine Apple, Ann Grover, William Bills, David Williams, carpenter, William T. Donaldson, mason. Mr. Mahy's well known Physician, for all kind of wounds and sores, to be had at the above direction, No. 131, Chestnut Street. august 8

A LARGE and well improved farm, containing upwards of twenty-five hundred acres of level fertile land, remarkably well adapted to grass, and every kind of grain; there are now one hundred acres of Timothy meadow on it, perhaps not equalled, from which, I have cut this year between one hundred and eighty, and two hundred tons of hay; upwards of three hundred acres more of this land may be converted into meadow, equal to that already made, the greater part of which may be watered at a small expence.

The purchaser can have immediate possession, and may be accommodated with twenty valuable field negroes, with horses, black cattle, sheep, hogs, and every necessary farming utensil.

FOR SALE.
A LARGE and well improved farm, containing upwards of twenty-five hundred acres of level fertile land, remarkably well adapted to grass, and every kind of grain; there are now one hundred acres of Timothy meadow on it, perhaps not equalled, from which, I have cut this year between one hundred and eighty, and two hundred tons of hay; upwards of three hundred acres more of this land may be converted into meadow, equal to that already made, the greater part of which may be watered at a small expence. There are on this land, a commodious two story dwelling-house, completely finished, with ten rooms and a passage, eight of the rooms have fire-places; a portico in front, fifty feet in length, and eight wide; a large paled garden; a well of excellent water in the yard, also a barn seventy-two feet by twenty-six, with sheds at the sides and ends, sufficient to hold sixty head of black cattle, a well constructed stable, sufficient to hold twenty horses; with every other building that may be convenient or useful for a large family; upwards of three hundred apple trees (just beginning to bear) of choice grained fruit, with a number of cherry, pear, quince, and damson trees, upwards of two thousand bearing peach trees. About one fourth of the land is cleared, and under good fence; the pasture lands are well taken, with red clover and other valuable grass. The remainder is in woods and generally well timbered. The whole is well watered, having several constant springs; and two streams running through different parts thereof, on one of them is a small convenient grist mill, and a saw mill. The purchaser can have immediate possession, and may be accommodated with twenty valuable field negroes, with horses, black cattle, sheep, hogs, and every necessary farming utensil. Salisbury is situated in excellent neighbourhood, and remarkable healthy, is twenty-six miles by measurement from Alexandria, about twenty miles from Potomack Bridge at the Little Falls, and not more than twenty-five from the city of Washington, and on the post road from Alexandria to Winchester. A small part of the purchase money, will be required in hand; one, two, and three years credit will be given for the remainder. Mr. Zaccheus Collins of Philadelphia will give any gentlemen who apply to him

The other article to which we refer, is the temporary tax laid upon our commerce for the support of the war...
