NEW-YORK, February 15.
Last evening arrived at this port the ship Tanner's Delight, capt. —, from London. She left London on the 19th December, and brings papers to the day preceding. We have received a regular file to the 17th: but our expectations respecting them are much disappointed, for they scarcely furnish us with an article of intelligence worth publishing — all the principal events having previously reached us by way of Boston. The vessel was reported on the coffee-house books to have had only 36 days passage, and public curiosity was considerably awakened in consequence of it. A rumour, which was partially circulated at the time of her arrival, that another revolution had taken place at Paris, in which Buonaparte had again narrowly escaped assassination, added greatly to the anxiety of suspense. On the subject of this rumour, the papers before us are silent.
From London papers to the seventeenth of December, received at the Office of the Mercantile Advertiser.
LONDON, December 14.
Yesterday the Hamburg mail dur. arrived — The Vienna Court Gazette contains a detailed account of the different actions which have taken place upon the 8th, upon various points of a very extended line. — There had been no general engagement but from every post they occupied the French were successively driven. The official communications reach down to the 15th: the French papers informed us subsequent to that period that their head-quarters were at Tietra. Upon the 20th Championet was at Genoa, and, as the reports in the Paris papers state, the Austrians had been repulsed in an attempt to carry the passes into the Genoa. They have now, however, secured all the positions which are necessary to enable them to prosecute the siege of Coni with vigour. The French do not indeed seem to have absolutely given up all hopes of relieving it, but it is probable that before their army can be reinforced, or the new commander who is appointed can be in a situation to attempt any new offensive operations, the place must fall. Italy will then be almost completely cleared of the French, and the Austrians will be in possession of all the strong holds which guard that country from a fresh invasion. It is said like wise to be the intention of the Austrian government to send powerful reinforcements to their army in this quarter.
Upon the Rhine no new operations have taken place. Reports of an armistice continue to circulate, but without any great appearance of probability.
The letters from Augsbourg state that general Suwarow has actually begun his march to return home, and that his whole army is in motion — This must to a certain degree disconcert the military plans of the Archduke, and injure the prosecution of the war against France, though it is extremely clear that the importance of the Russians has been greatly over rated.
At Vienna the wishes of the people are in favour of peace. Politicians there think that the late events in France will facilitate the attainment of that object.
At Berlin considerable importance is attached to the mission of Durand, Buonaparte's aid de camp, who has arrived at that city. It appears that Otto, the French charge d'affaires at that court, is going to France in order to come to this country to fill the office to which it was mentioned in the French papers that he had been appointed.
The armistice between the French consuls and Chouan chiefs has by no means put an end to the hopes of our government from that predatory war. They learn by private letters that they still continue in great force, and that they exercise their adherents in open day. The plan of an expedition to the coast of Normandy is therefore preferred with increasing spirits, and they hope to make a descent on France with 100,000 troops of different nations, English, Russians, Swiss, and French.
Captain Taylor, the duke of York's secretary, goes to St. Petersburg to assist in digesting the new plan of a subsidiary treaty, and it is believed that we shall contract for more troops than we ever purchased in any former year. Whether they are to be employed in this service or not, we cannot say; but we know that the rumour of such a design will do more to unite all the hostile parties in France, than the affected moderation of the consuls, or the short-lived energy which the government has derived from the late military convulsion.
It was generally reported yesterday in the political circles of Mr. Dundas's journey to Scotland was from deep political reasons. Some say that he is about to retire from office, and is to be called up to the house of Peers. Another pretext for his going to Scotland is, that he may have a personal interview with Sir Ralph Abercrombie, and do away some misunderstanding which has occurred on the late expedition to Holland.
A letter from our Dublin correspondent of the 7th instant, says, Our apprehensions of scarcity have subsided, but they are succeeded by our apprehensions of French invasion, and the troops forwarding to this country seem to show that your government also is not without expectation of such an event.
The Consulate have agreed to the demand made by Gen. Knox, of residing at Calais, for the purpose of being better enabled to carry into effect the release of the 800 French prisoners, stipulated by the convention concluded at Alkmaar. Gen. Humbert is to accompany him.
A German paper says: "About 800 Irish rebels arrived at Embden, and were received by a Prussian officer, who gave
them one dollar, or three shillings sterling bounty each. Being lodged in the barracks, they thought of regaling themselves with gin after their voyage; unfortunately, they got too much inspired, and began talking of cutting off King's heads, and singing revolutionary songs. The next morning the Prussian officer had them mustered on the parade, and about a dozen of the most noisy were saluted with 50 strokes of the cane, by way of welcome, and example to all the rest, who seemed to be all fine young Paddies, from 18 to 30 years of age. They afterwards were divided in small parties, and conveyed under strong escorts to different regiments, where, the officer told them, they would be most particularly taken care of, as they came so very strongly recommended.

PARIS, 12 Frimaire, Dec. 3. A paper announces that the city of Anspach, the capital of Anspach and Bareuth, in Franconia, belonging to the king of Prussia, is destined for holding a Congress for peace. The plenipotentiaries of the belligerent powers will assemble there under the protection of a numerous Prussian army, and will open their new negotiations for a general peace.
December 4. All the emigrants, from whatever nation they may be, have received orders to remove, without delay, from Suabia and interior Austria.
December 6. From Avignon we learn that the central administration of Vaucluse persists in not acknowledging the law of the 19th Brumaire, and that it will neither publish nor post it.
It is said that the members of the circle of Lozn, after having, in a very stormy sitting, torn the picture of Buonaparte, cried out, that he ought to be assassinated; and then having torn the papers that might compromise them, voted an address of congratulation on the events of the 18th and 19th Brumaire, in order to deceive the government and the delegate whom they are about to send.
The general rumor of to-day is, that a part of those who have examined the new constitution do not wish for a Grand Elector. Persons who pass for being well informed, give it as certain, that Buonaparte opposes the idea of that magistrate being for life, if the idea of a Grand Elector is adopted; he thinks it necessary for ten years, and is of opinion, that employments which are the object of every intrigue should cease to offer to parties the subject of continual agitation. One man, according to him, being less imposed upon from several runs less risk of being dissatisfied from good selections, and may more easily direct them towards the desired end, the public prosperity. We do not guarantee this as being the Consul's opinion, but it is that which is attributed to him. Others, on the contrary, wish for a Grand Elector for life, or not at all.
[Journal des Hommes Libres.] 17 Frimaire—Dec. 8. The favorite child of fortune, the brave Massena is arrived at Paris.
We understand that a victory has been obtained near Genoa, by the army of Italy, the head quarters of which was established on the 4th Frimaire at Pietra, but nothing official has hitherto been published.
They ascribe to Talleyrand Perigord the idea of forming a board of admiralty on the model of the English.
A letter from Nantz, of the 25th Brumaire, written by citizen Chevy, commander of the resident national guard of that commune, announces, "that the report respecting the hostage act has already produced the happiest effects in the Western departments. Several of the rebels chiefs seem disposed to surrender their arms. The civil war cannot, however, be easily extinguished, unless the commissioners to pacify the country, be seconded by an imposing military force."
VIENNA, November 27. General Frolich, who is at Ancona, with 12,000 men, has received orders as soon as possible to join General Melas. A division of that corps will proceed to the Riviera di Levante, in the Genoese, to reinforce General Kleman.
According to accounts from Italy, our troops have attacked the enemy in the valley of the Maira, and entirely succeeded in driving them from their positions. The cavalry dismounted in districts where the ground would not allow them to proceed on horseback and pursued them swords in hand. Our troops have advanced beyond the frontiers.
Authentic accounts have likewise been received, that, on the 6th instant, when Gen. Kray so successfully attacked the enemy near Novi, the division of the Archduke Ferdinand had not done its duty; it composed the greatest part of the second column, which did not arrive in time. It is to be disbanded, and the most guilty will be particularly punished.
It has been resolved upon to send a reinforcement of 20,000 men, at least, to General Melas.
A minister plenipotentiary from the king of Sardinia is arrived here, on some particular business. An envoy extraordinary from Berlin is also expected here. It is now
generally believed here, that, in consequence of the late change in the French Government, a peace upon honorable terms will not be subjected to great difficulties.
The neutrality of Switzerland is again proposed, on the part of France and Switzerland.
Our Court Gazette states, that no official accounts have yet been received at Constantinople of any thing of consequence having taken place between the grand vizier and the French army, on the frontiers of Egypt; but only that the two armies were in sight of each other, and that serious events were expected to take place.
LONDON, December 18. The good understanding which subsists between Prussia and the French republic is cemented more and more every day. This appears from the proposal lately made by Mr. Schladen, a General in the Prussian service, of a cartel, by virtue of which the Generals belonging to the two powers, and also the Generals of the Batavian troops, shall reciprocally surrender their deserters.
BERNE, November 26. It is said here, that the brother of the Consul, Roger Ducois has had some conferences with the Archduke Charles, and that there is an idea of an armistice. If we may believe some private letters they appeared to agree well.
FOREIGN—Summary. The advices by the Tanner, are to the 23d December, at which date the ship failed from Gravesend: She passed the downs on the 26th.
We understand from the best information which can be collected, that the late revolution at Paris affords no prospect of peace in Europe. On the contrary, another campaign is expected—and it is believed that the Danes and Swedes will also come into the coalition against France.
The retreat of the Russians into Bavaria, is supposed only to be a temporary arrangement to pass the winter, in a plentiful country—and that with the opening of the campaign, they will march to join the Austrians on the Rhine.
Switzerland, it is supposed, will be declared neutral—and in consequence, the offensive operations of the next year, directed to the countries on the banks of the Rhine—to the Low Countries—and to Italy.
By the latest accounts from Paris, every thing was quiet in that city. A plan of a new Constitution has been proposed—but nothing yet decided on. Every exertion was making to raise money—and to recruit the armies.
The Consuls were pursuing a moderate system of government; several odious decrees of the late directory had been done away, and many emigrants permitted to return.
The combined French and Spanish fleets lay in Brest harbour—off which port an English fleet of twenty sail of the line, under admiral Gardner, was cruising to observe them.
The Harvest in England has not turned out to be so bad as was expected, and the prices of grain had declined considerably.

PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 17.
Justum et tenacem propositi virum, Non civium ardor prava jubentium, Non vultus instantis tyranni, Mente quait folida.
MEMORANDUM.
A display of unparalleled impudence on the part of the Faculty of a certain Institution, has determined me, on what I have long contemplated, an exposition of the villainy, insolence, tyranny and incompetency of these ignorant and brutal Pedagogues. N. B. I desire to be understood to speak with exceptions.
I wait but for an event to take place which must occur in a day or two; when I will unveil this rank imposture of Reverend Rogues.
The public voice, with loud and general acclaim, has long cried out, "It is high time these insolent were chastised;" and as they are good Republicans, be it my business to teach them, that the Rights of Man are sacred, and that their tyranny shall tend to their own confusion.
The civil dissensions in Pennsylvania threaten the complete disarrayment of the citizens, at the ensuing election for President and Vice President.
The New York Editor states that a report was in circulation that another revolution had taken place in Paris; in the course of which Buonaparte had again narrowly escaped assassination.
The Regicidal Pentarchy of France, having been overthrown by the usurper Buonaparte, it becomes proper to designate the new rebel government of that kingdom by a new name. Under the dominion of a rebel, regicide, thief and murderer, a Viriatus in profession, practice and character, that unhappy country may not unaptly be said to be under a Diabolarchy .
Mrs. Hannah More, in a late work on Female Education , appropriately notices the lewd and jacobinical productions of the German illuminatus, Kotzebue, in the following passage:
"His cool, calculating, intellectual wickeds eats out the very heart and core of virtue; and like a deadly mildew, blights and shrivels the blooming promise of the human spring. Its benumbing touch communicates a torpid sluggishness, which paralyzes the soul. It descants on depravity, and details its grossest acts as frigidly, as if its object were to allay the tumult of the passions, while it is letting them loose on mankind by plucking off the muzzle of present restraint and future accountability. The lythe is dire intumid compounded of bold impiety, brutish sensuality, and exquisite folly; which, creeping fatally about the heart, checks the moral circulation, and totally stops the pulse of goodness by the extinction of the vital principle: thus not only choking up the stream of actual virtue, but drying the very fountain of future remorse and remote repentance. See "Strictures on the Modern System of Female Education." P. 49.
The comedy of Kotzebue called The Birth Day , consists principally of an attempt at imitating Sterne's Uncle Toby and Mr. Shandy . The imitation is so weak, that even the London Courier , declares it to be despicable.
The "MR. SASPORTAS" hanged at Kingston (Jamaica) was the man who befriended the Pirate and murderer Nash, and who advised him to swear that he was an American citizen. He was also a French agent at Charleston for Privateers.
A HINT.
The honorable member who moved in Congress a few days ago, for the appointment of a committee to bring in a bill making provision for the removal of regular troops of the United States, which may be stationed where an election is held—ought at the same time, to have recollected the mode of conducting elections in the Northern Liberties, and if sincere in wishing that elections may be conducted fairly, amend his resolution, by making provision for abolishing the practice of forming men in military array, and marching them to the election ground with drums beating and fife playing, men armed, mounted on horseback, founding trumpets and parading thro' the streets—he must recollect that all the elections, with few exceptions, have been conducted in this manner in the district of the Northern Liberties; and more inconvenience is to be apprehended from disorderly and irregular militia, than the regular troops of the United States.

By general orders issued the 22d instant, all French male slaves exceeding the age of twelve years, are to be carried to the barracks on Friday the 27th inst. at the hour of 10 A.M.
Yesterday afternoon precisely ten minutes before 5 o'clock, pursuant to his sentence, was executed in the parade, Mr. Sas Portas, condemned as a spy. The Kingston militia and the garrisons of this town and Up-Park, were drawn up in a square around the gallows, at 10 minutes before four, and the whole business was conducted with the utmost solemnity. Previous to his execution he was marched round the square, with a label having SPY painted on it, on his breast, and another on his back with ESPION on it. He seemed perfectly unconcerned until the handkerchief was bound round his head, and was mounting the ladder from the scaffold, when he made an exertion to save himself by clinging to the ladder. We sincerely hope his fate will be a lesson to those who have come among us on the same errand.
FALMOUTH, Jan. 1.
The ship Boddington , Callenhead, arrived at St. Ann's Bay, on the 24th ult. one of the last convoy from England, but last from Trinidad. The news by this arrival states the number of Frenchmen in that island to be more than any other nation; that they had become so treacherous that martial law was laid on; numerous plots for murdering all the English, and getting possession of the colony, were discovered; that a gallows was erected across the main street, so wide that twenty could be banged at once, and scarce a day passed without from one to five being tucked up. Colonel Hickson is the commanding officer at Trinidad.
CARD.

FOR THE
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 excel 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 solids, and attenuates viscid juices, and hence is deservedly recommended for exciting appetite, promoting digestion, increasing 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 rheumatisms, 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, Allhmas and Consumptions.—Also by Mr. Price, Baltimore, and Messrs. H. & P. Rice, 16, South Second Street, Philadelphia.
WORMS.
The Genuine Patent Vermifuge Lozenges, FOR DESTROYING WORMS In Children and Grown Persons.
Prepared only by Dr. James Church, at his Dispensary, 137, Front-street, near the Fly Market, New-York.
WORMS it is well known occasions the greatest mortality among children than any other disorder, and few children are without them in a greater or lesser degree. The necessity of an infallible remedy therefore is obvious. The Vermifuge Lozenges are an excellent alternative, contain nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and may be administered to children of all ages, and to grown persons, with the greatest safety. They are also singularly efficacious in all gross Humours, Scrofulous Eruptions, Sore Heels, &c. &c. and an excellent physic in the spring and fall of the year, but particularly after the Small-Pox, Measles, Fevers, &c.
Price 50 cents each box.—Family boxes containing eight small ones, at three dollars. Sold by Messrs. H. & P. Rice, 16, South Second Street, Philadelphia, and Mr. Rice, Baltimore.
FOR THE CURE OF FITS.
The patent Antispasmodic Elixir,
Convulsion Hysterical, or Epileptic Falling Fits,
Are effectually cured by this excellent medicine. Its virtues are absolutely specific and unparalelled. 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 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 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 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. 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.

There is about 150 acres of land, and the whole of it good soil for agriculture, and a full proportion of it very suitable for grass; about one half of it is cleared and in a state fit for immediate cultivation; the rest is in woods and well covered with useful timber of different kinds. 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 story 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 grinding of corn, all of proved good quality, worked by overshot 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 26 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 situated as to be free from all risque from the fresher 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 bakes—The tide water from James River flows to the walls of the mill, where boats of three to four hundred bushels 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 facility.
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 in 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 take 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.

WATER-OFFICE.
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 viewing them the Engines in full operation, a temporary exclusion of all visitors from the Engine houses cannot appear improper.

The only Medicine in the world that cures the most inveterate Itch in four hours.
The genuine patent Scotch Ointment.
For pleasantness, safety, expedition, ease and certainty, is infinitely superior to any other medicine, for the cure of THE ITCH.
It is so certain in its operation, that it has never failed in any one instance whatever, of effectually curing that disagreeable disorder in four hours, by one application only, though applied to many thousands in England, Scotland and Ireland. It does not contain one particle of mercury, (see the affidavit*) but may be applied with the greatest safety, to the most delicate lady during pregnancy, or the tenderest infants.
The proprietor is so certain of its infallibility, that he engages to return the money to any person on whom it did not perform a cure in four hours.
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; and Mr. Rice, Baltimore.

AN ESSAY

JUST RECEIVED, AND FOR SALE By WILLIAM Y. BIRCH, STATIONER, No. 17 South Second Street, THE FOLLOWING VALUABLE MEDICINES.
Infallible Ague and Fever Drops.
A long eulogium on the virtues of this medicine is unnecessary, as the money will be returned if patient is not relieved; it never having failed in many thousand cases; not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more than a bottle, and numbers not half a bottle.
Hahn's Anti-bilious Pills.
DR. HAHN'S TRUE AND GENUINE German Corn Plaster. An infallible remedy for corns, speedily removing them root and branch, without giving pain.
The Genuine Persian Lotion.
So celebrated among the fashionable throughout Europe, as an invaluable cosmetic, perfectly innocent and safe, free from corrosive and repellant minerals (the basis of other lotions) and of unparalleled efficacy in preventing and removing cutaneous blemishes of the face and skin of every kind, particularly, freckles, pimples, pits after small pox, inflammatory redness, scurf, tetter, ring worms, sun burns, prickly heat, premature wrinkles, &c. The Persian Lotion operates mildly, without impeding that natural, insensible perspiration, which is essential to health—yet its effects are speedy and permanent, rendering the skin delicately soft and smooth, improving the complexion and restoring the bloom of youth; never failing to render an ordinary countenance beautiful, and a handsome one more so.
Sovereign Ointment for the Itch,
Warranted an infallible and immediate cure, at once using; being the most speedy, effectual and pleasant remedy ever offered to the public, and for the satisfaction of the timidorous, the proprietor maketh oath, that this ointment does not contain a single particle of mercury or any other pernicious ingredient in its composition, and may be used with the most perfect safety by pregnant women and on infants newly born.
Patent Indian Vegetable Specific,
For the cure of Venereal Complaints of every description. An extensive trial of near four years has proved the vegetable specific to be effectual in expelling the venereal virus, however deeply rooted in the constitution, and has restored health to many who have been brought to the verge of the grave by the improper administration of mercury. Within this period upwards of eight thousand patients have experienced its salutary effects.
With the medicine is given a description of the symptoms which obtain in every stage of the disease, with copious directions for their treatment, so as to accomplish a perfect cure in the shortest time and with the least inconvenience possible.
HAMILTON'S Worm destroying Lozenges,
Which have, within nine months past, relieved upwards of EIGHTEEN THOUSAND PERSONS of all ages in various complaints arising from worms and from weakness or obstructions in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever to others of similar title so 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.
At the place of sale may be seen many remarkable cases of cures, 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.
Persons wishing to procure any of the above medicines genuine, must apply ONLY as above—and likewise observe, that the signature of Lee & Co. (who are appointed the general agents for the United States) is pasted on the outside of each, without which they cannot be genuine.

For Nervous Disorders, Female Complaints, Gout in the Stomach, Melancholy, Seminal Weakness, loss of Appetite, Bilious Disorders, Inward Weakness, Indigestion, Obsolete Gleet, Juvenile Indiscretions and Premature Old Age, and every other symptom of extreme debility, which are the consequences of a Diffipated Life—excess of Pleasure or Grief—Heat or change of Climate—Immoderate use of Tea, Spirituous Liquors, or any Intemperance—Bad Lying-in—Diseases incident to Young Girls and Women at a certain period of life—
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; 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 feminal gleet in men, and corresponding weakness in women; and hence it will contribute more likely, 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 weakness 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 safely invigorating the system; but if it be in the power of medicine to gild the autumn of declining years, and calmly and serenely protract 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 chitinous fluid become rich and balsamic, and the limbs be covered with flesh, firm and healthy.
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, 137 Front Street, near the Fly-market, New-York—and sold by Messrs. H. & P. Rice, 16, South Second Street, Philadelphia.
For the TEETH, BREATH, and SCURVY in the GUMS, and the TOOTH ACHE.
The Anti-Scorbutic Tincture Is unequalled for cleansing, whitening, and preserving the teeth, and effectually curing the scurvy in the gums. It will prevent the teeth from further decay, loosen them if loose, and render the breath perfectly sweet.
[Price one dollar each bottle.]
Volatile Tincture for the Tooth Ache. The most effectual remedy ever discovered for that tormenting pain. It gives immediate and permanent relief in the most violent cases; contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and may with safety be applied to pregnant women or to children.
[Price 37 1/2 cents.]
Prepared only by Dr. Church, New York, and sold by Messrs. H. & P. Rice, 16 South Second Street, Philadelphia.
HEAD ACHE.
Persons afflicted with the head ache, proceeding from whatever cause, will find instant relief in the application of
Church's Anodyne Essence.
In rheumatic, nervous, and bilious head aches it has not its equal. It not only alleviates that tormenting pain, but removes it almost instantaneously. The head ache occasioned by hard drinking, and any local pains in any other parts of the body or extremities, are by application, effectually removed.
[Price 50 cents.]
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.
HUMOURS ON THE FACE AND SKIN,
Particularly pimples, blotches, tetter, ring-worms, tan, freckles, sun burns, thin-gles, redness of the nose, neck or arms, and prickly heat.
Are effectually cured by the application of
The genuine Vegetable Lotion.
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 foiled 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 efficacious 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. Rice, 16 South Second Street, Philadelphia.
