PARIS, May 21.  CONSERVATIVE SENATE.  Sitting of the 24th Floreal. The Councillors of state Bigot-Pream- neau, Desfelles & Fleurier, Orators of the Government, made a communication to the Senate, of the note, addressed on the 23d of the month, to the Ambassador of his Britannic Majesty, by the minister for Foreign Affairs.
23 Floreal, an XI. In the important and serious circumstan- ces, in which the two Nations find them- selves, the undersigned the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the French Republic, has received an order to place under the eyes of the British government the fol- lowing Note.
The 17th Ventose, His Britannic ma- jesty caused to be communicated to his Parliament, by special Message, that for- midable armaments were preparing in the Ports of France, and Holland, and that important negotiations, the results of which were doubtful, divided the two go- vernments.
This extraordinary and unexpected de- claration excited a general astonishment; but the maritime situation of France was obvious. England, Europe knew that there were no formidable armaments ei- ther in the ports of France or in the ports of Holland.
The undersigned will not call to the recollection of His Excellency, Lord Whitworth, every thing which was said at that time. It was demanded from what source could spring information so ill- founded? The personal discernment of Lord Whitworth, the loyalty of his cha- racter, could not be for a moment suspect- ed.
The assertion that France was making hostile armaments, was manifestly a sup- position, and one which could not impose on any person. Its natural effect, must tend to create a belief, that it was a means, of which men signalized by their turbu- lent opinions, wished to avail themselves, and who sought with eagerness a pretext for exciting troubles for enflaming the passions of the British Nation, for exciting defiance, Hatred and alarm.
With respect to the English Govern- ment; it ought to be believed that, if by false reports it had been led into an error, with respect to the existence of ar- maments, it could not have been equally so with respect to the existence of Nego- tiations.
The ambassador, of the republic at London, was no sooner informed of the Message of his Britannic Majesty, than, astonished that it announced a nego- tiation, of which he was unacquainted, he immediately waited upon his excellen- cy, Lord Hawkesbury, and before, at that time, expecting that an appeal to arms, founded upon false suppositions, could cover the project to violate the Treaty of Amiens, with respect to the clauses, which were not yet carried into execution, he presented to the Minister of his Britannic Majesty, on the 19th Ven- tose, a note demanding of him explana- tions.
At the same period the Undersigned had orders to address his Excellency Lord Whitworth, relative to the motives which could have determined the English Go- vernment to authorise, in its Message, two assertions, both equally false, in or- der to call its nation to arms, and to break the bond of Peace, which united the two States.
His Excellency, Lord Hawkesbury, re- mitted on the 24th Ventose, to General Andreossi, a vague, aggressive and im- perious note, far from throwing any light on the subject of the discussion, on the contrary involved it in additional obscuri- ty. It scarcely held out the least hope of the possibility of arriving at a discussion, and still less the hope of seeing it terminate in an auspicious manner.
The reply of the French Government, under date of the 8th Germinal, was equally as pacific and moderate, as the note of the British Ministry had been hos- tile.
First Cental, produced on the 17th Ger- minal, a new Note, in which the French government did not see without surprize, that an indeterminate demand of satisfac-  tions was addressed to it. The absurdity of this demand, expressed without motives and without objects, leaves nothing to be distinctly perceived, but the inconsistency of its expressions.
The intention of violating the Treaty of Amiens was manifested in this Note, by refusing to evacuate Malta. It should seem the English government flattered it- self, that the French people would con- sent to give satisfaction upon two suppo- sed acts, on the allegation of which they, perhaps, had equally the same right to demand satisfaction themselves.
In waving for the present this office, Lord Whitworth demanded that an ar- rangement should be immediately made, upon the basis which is going to be expo- sed to view, and at the same time he gave it to be understood, that in case of a re- fusal, he feared he should be obliged by the orders of his government, to quit Pa- ris instantly, and to put a termination to his mission.
What reply could the French govern- ment give to overtures so abrupt and strange? Nothing but a strong and ardent desire for peace, could have gained the as- cendency over indignation.
To confine one's self to a cool and calm decision, which leaves to reason and to justice time to triumph over the passions, it is necessary to be deeply penetrated with the idea, that the numberless victims of the discords of governments, have nothing whatever to do with the insults which in- cense them; that so many millions of brave citizens who, in the ardor of their heroic attachment, to their country, shed their blood solely for its good, never har- bor the wish to affront a neighbouring and powerful people; that they take no inter- est in the measures pursued by pride, and in the vain pretensions of supremacy.— Not only must this idea be deeply impres- sed upon the mind; it must possess and engross it solely without cessation.
His Excellency Lord Whitworth agreed to write to his court, that the First Con- sul could not consent to the violation of a solemn treaty; but that he wished for peace; that, if the English government was desirous that a convention should be made, with a view to arrangements foreign to the treaty of Amiens, he would not refuse it, and that the motives of this con- vention might be drawn from reciprocal grievances.
These views were just and moderate. It was impossible to propose a negotiation upon a more liberal basis. It will not be irrelevant to observe here, that it was six weeks after the message, in which the ex- istence of a negotiation of a difficult na- ture, of most serious interest, and of un- certain, but near issue, was positively as- serted and announced, that the ministers of the two governments were not able to come even to the opening of an actual ne- gotiation.
Lord Whitworth received new orders; he presented successively two projects of a convention.
By the first, it was proposed that Malta should remain under the sovereignty of the king of England; and this clause be- ing adopted, his Britannic majesty offered to recognize all that had taken place in Europe, since the treaty of Amiens.
His majesty the king of England fur- ther promised to take measures, in order that those men who in different parts of England are hatching plots against France, should be effectually suppressed.
The undersigned has the honor to re- mark to his Excellency Lord Whitworth, that the first project of the convention was a palpable violation of the treaty of Ami- ens, and subversive of the basis of the ne- gotiation which his Excellency was charg- ed to present to his court; that, with respect to the recognizance offered by his Britannic majesty, there in fact existed no objects to which it could apply; that no change had taken place in Europe since the treaty of Amiens; unless it be the organization of the empire, in which the king of England had coincided with his vote, as elector of Hanover; and that even this was no more than a necessary consequence of the treaty of Luneville, which is much anterior to the treaty of Amiens.
That the events relative to the political existence of Piedmont, of the kingdom of Etruria, and of the Italian and Ligurian republics, had their date prior to the trea- ty of Amiens; that, in the negotiation of this treaty, France had desired that En-
gland should recognize these three powers, but as they could not accord upon this point, as well as upon the affairs of India, in as far as concerns the destruction of some of the principal states, and the in- calculable acquisitions made by England in this country; it was agreed to consi- der the discussion of these objects as not appertaining to the execution of the pre- liminary articles, and to the fundamental object of the pacification of the two states. The undersigned finally ob- serves, that the French government does not demand, on this point, any ap- probation or recognizing from his Bri- tannic majesty.
The undersigned adds, that, with re- spect to the Batavian Republic, it had been recognized by the King of England, inasmuch as he had treated with it, and that by the existing treaties between this Republic and France, the rear guard of the French troops are bound to evacuate this country on receiving the news of the entire execution of the Treaty of Ami- ens.
With respect to the criminals, who have sought refuge in London, and in Jer- sey, where they give themselves up to all their perverse inclinations, and where, far from being restrained, they are sup- ported and pensioned by England, the French Government conceives that, in the actual state of the negotiations, it ought not to attach any importance to this point.
His Excellency, Lord Whitworth, pro- posed a second Project. England demand- ed that the civil government of Malta be- ing left with the grand master, the Bri- tish garrison should continue to occupy the fortifications of the island. This pro- position was impracticable and unheard of. Like that of the First Project, it was con- trary to the Treaty of Amiens, and con- sequently to the basis of the negotiation, offered by the First consul: it was be- sides attended with the irremediable in- convenience of placing an Order of Knights, appertaining to all the powers of Europe, under the authority and sub- trary Tutelage of a single Power; it was finally in its very self, an offence to the honor and to the religion of an order, alli- ed by all its elements to the honor and to the religion of all Europe.
Thus, in every step of this negotiati- on, the government of the republic was obliged to perceive that the English go- vernment had but one desire, one sole object in view, to wit, the non fulfilment of the stipulations of the treaty of A- miens, and to retain Malta, for this sole reason, because Malta suited its conveni- ence, and that it called this acquisition a sufficient guarantee.
But which is the Power of Europe, were it even obliged to acknowledge itself unequal, that could suffer to submit it- self to the will of another without a dis- cussion of its Rights, without an Appeal to the principles of Justice? Where a- bove all is the Power, which placed in the predicament France finds herself, in the course of this discussion, could have subscribed to conditions, dictated from the very opening of a negotiation, and rather announced with the noise of me- naces of war, by preparations and by ar- maments, than proposed as the means of according the Rights and the Interests of two states?
In circumstances, in some respect ana- logous, a nation feeble, not as to its cou- rage, but with respect to the extent and population of its provinces, dared to brave the English power, and menaced in its capital, to expose the residents of its Kings, to endanger its sole riches, the re- sult of a century of peace, and of an in- dustrious economy, rather than subscribe to unjust conditions, proposed at that time, the same as on the present occasion, from motives of convenience to England; and backed by the equipment of a considera- ble armament. Many gallant heroes pe- rished: the Danish Colonies were usurped; but however unequal as was the strug- gle, honor did not leave to this generous Nation the choice of the part which it ought to take.
In the present discussion, policy speaks the same language as honor. If the Bri- tish Government is at liberty to conform, or not conform, to its engagements; if it is permitted to the British Government, to make a distinction, in the Treaties, which it concludes, between the Spirit and the Letter: If mental restrictions are al- lowed, as authorised exceptions; if what- ever constitutes an object of convenience to England, is to be the umpire of the meaning of political conventions, where

will be the end, the termination of the Concessions, which the British government flatters itself that it can wrest from the weakness of France; What will be the measure of the sacrifices and humiliations, which one may dare to impose upon her? To day the convenience of England exacts a guarantee against France and England retains Malta. In former times the convenience of England required a guarantee against France, and Dunkirk was destroyed! and an English Commissary dictated the law in a Country, in which the French flag waved! To morrow the convenience of England may demand a guarantee against the progress of French industry and a proposal may be made for a Tariff of Commerce, to arrest and check the progress of our industry. If we repair our ports; if we construct a Mole; if we dig a canal; if by any mode of encouragement, we improve our manufactures, &c. a demand is made upon us, to degrade our ports; that our canals shall be choked up, and our Manufactures ruined. It is demanded, that France shall become poor; that it shall be disarmed to suit the convenience of England, and that it shall give a sufficient guarantee to its Government.
Whether we consider the principles, or examine the consequences, we are equally struck with surprise at the injustice and the scandal of these pretensions. Supposing, that such a demand were submitted even to the verdict of an English Jury, would they hesitate a single moment to reject it unanimously? The government of the Republic has the right to feel surprised, that the British Ministry should deem itself authorised to suppose that France would submit to such a degree of humiliation. On what ground has it believed, that the actual and existing government of France would, in inglorious repose, loose sight at once of the remembrance of what it had achieved, and of all its duties. — (To be continued.)
NEW YORK, July 15.
Date from Cape Francois.
Capt. King, of the brig Rockland, who arrived here yesterday in 8 days from C. Francois, informs, that on the first inst. Off Cape Nicholas Mole, a British 74 gun ship fell in with a French frigate on her passage from Aux-Cayes, and fired a broad side into her, which killed 17 of the seamen, and wounded 22. The frigate returned a few shots, and ran into the port of Cape Nicholas Mole, the 74 chasing her for some time, and continuing a heavy fire. In consequence of the renewal of hostilities a temporary embargo for three or four days was laid on the shipping at the Cape. The Brigands were embodied at a short distance from town, but the inhabitants were without any apprehensions of an attack. They were in daily expectation, captain King says, of being Blockaded by a British Fleet which was the case at Martinique. Two French 74's and three frigates were at Cape Francois. American produce scarce. Flour 15 dolls per barrel, payable in Government Bills on account of the scarcity of money.

Married on Thursday evening last, at Dumfries, by the Rev. Lee Massey, Mr. JOHN MUSCHETT, to the amiable and accomplished Miss MARY F. TEBBS, both of that place.
By the Rev. Mr. Harrison, Mr. WILLIAM SMITH, to Mrs. MARGARET CARR.
On Wednesday last, an important cause was decided before the Supreme Court, now sitting in N. York, between the Underwriters and the owners of the ship Pegasus, Capt. Liscomb, condemned some time since in Peru by the Spaniards. This trial was a very interesting one, and engaged all the talents of the most respectable gentlemen of our Bar. The defence made by the underwriters was grounded upon a clause in their policy which exempts them from all charge, damage, or loss which may arise in consequence of a seizure for or on account of any illicit or prohibited trade. The trial lasted seven days. The Jury was composed of some of our most respectable merchants.
The circumstance of illicit trade, being fully and satisfactorily proved to them, they returned a verdict in favor of the Underwriters, without a dissenting voice.
The following extract of a letter to an American merchant; from a gentleman of the law, familiarly acquainted with admiralty proceedings, may be useful to many whose property is afloat, and which in consequence of the present state of war between G. Britain and France, may be liable to capture, detention and spoilation.
"In answer to your letter of the 13th ult. I begin to take notice of the decree of the Lords of Appeal, in the case of the Mary Ann, Tucker, which you say you "do not understand." Two things are plain from the decree: 1st, that the sentence below is reversed, and 2d, that the cause is still retained before the court of appeals, and further proof therein ordered. In what that further proof is to consist, the court never in their decree inform the parties, but leave it to the judgment of the claimants, assisted by their counsel, to bring forward what they please. You, I presume, are at a loss to know the nature of that proof which you are to produce. It seems to be of two kinds: as it regards your national character, and as it respects your property in the cargo. As to the first, it will be advisable you should make an affidavit, stating when you arrived in this country, the reasons for not bringing your family at first, when they arrived, and how long you have been a resident merchant in N. C. and what acts you have done to make you a citizen. This affidavit should be duly authenticated and supported by the affidavits of one or more indifferent persons.
As to the further proof of your property, it should consist of copies of your correspondence relative to this voyage, your own, and the affidavits of clerks, or persons acquainted with the concern, in which you should point out all the material circumstances relative to the outward and the return cargo.
In regard to the brig Constant, it is necessary to observe, that the proceedings before M. Combault are coram non judice unauthorised, and of course illegal. You are therefore to proceed as if no suit had ever been commenced or concluded in any court of admiralty. It is necessary however, in order to show the extent of your loss, to get a complete copy of all the proceedings had before this pretended Judge Combault. To these you will add all the vouchers that tend to show your property in the vessel and cargo, and the loss you have sustained. You should have your captain's deposition as to the offer made to the captors, and their refusal. You should obtain certificates from merchants, either here or in Jamaica, to prove what your cargo would have been, had it been suffered to be landed there. You should annex to them the captain's protest, his letters, accounts of costs and expences paid, all which should be explained by your own affidavit, referring to each of the vouchers by number. Having thus arranged your papers, you should transmit them to some friend in England, who would commence a suit for you in the high court of Admiralty; but, if you prefer it, you might proceed against the captors in either of the Vice Admiralty courts in the W. Indies, wherever they are to be found. But the former is the safest, though perhaps the longest way of bringing them to justice. Should you send your papers to England, you should be careful to send duplicates, and to keep a notarial copy yourself. Your friend there should be directed to lay your papers before counsel prior to any suit being commenced, and take advice on the manner of proceeding, and to ascertain whether any and what further evidence would be required."

An assumpt of the debts due and captures provided for under the Convention of Sept. 30th, 1803, between the United States and the French Republic which are to be liquidated by Commissioners at Paris, and paid at the Treasury of the United States on debts from their Minister at Paris. The assumpt is not to go beyond 3,750,000 dollars, and it is conjectured, that the amount of the debts and claims will fall short of that sum. 3d. French and Spanish vessels and merchandises directly from their own ports the merchandizes being of the respective countries are to pay, in the ports of the ceded Territory, for a period of 12 years, no higher duties than are paid by American citizens, and this privilege is not to be extended during that period to any other foreign nations. After that period France and Spain are to enjoy within the ports of the ceded territory the privileges only of the most favored nation. The treaty is to be ratified, and the ratifications exchanged within six months from its date. This circumstance will require the convening of Congress a little earlier than the 1st Monday of November. It is understood that the ratification of the First Consul is on its way to the U. S. immediately after the ratifications of the treaty, possession is to be delivered. The inhabitants of Louisiana are to be incorporated with the U. S. as soon as can consistently with the constitution of the U. S. be effected; and in the mean time are to be secured in their liberties prosperity and religion.

DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR, A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obsolete Coughs, Asthmas, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and Approaching Consumptions. To parents who may have children afflicted with the HOOPING COUGH.
This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it is an immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable—the Elixir is so perfectly agreeable and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.
From LUTHER MARTIN, Esq. Attorney-General of the State of Maryland.
Gentlemen, I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir. It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever colds, coughs, or similar complaints have rendered medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with forensics and with obstructed and difficult breathing. On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir, as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN. Mr. Abijah Henly, Bridge-Street, Baltimore, was cured by one bottle of Hamilton's Elixir of a very complicated disorder, occasioned by a fever-cold caught several months ago. He breathed with the greatest difficulty, and was often thrown into weakening sweats when he attempted to walk any distance, and his voice would frequently fail in such a degree that he could only attempt to whisper; he has been upwards of six weeks without a return of his complaints, and desires to give this public testimony in favour of this invaluable medicine.
Dr. Hamilton's GRAND RESTORATIVE, Is recommended as an invaluable medicine, for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures—juvenile indiscretions—residence in climates unfavourable to the constitution—the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the unskillful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females, at a certain period of life—bad lyings in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of Nervous disorders, Consumption, Lowliness of spirits, Loss of appetite, Impurity of the blood, Hysterical affections, Inward weakness, Seminal weakness, Fluor albus, (or whites) Barrenness, Violent cramps in the stomach and back, Indigestion, Melancholy, Gout in the stomach, Pains in the limbs, Relaxations, Involuntary emissions, Obstinate gleets, Impotency, &c. &c. In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impoverishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no nourishment or cordial could repair a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE and EXTRACT of MUSTARD, A safe and effectual remedy for gout, rheumatism, palsy, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. And has performed more cures in the above complaints than all the other medicines ever before made public.
From Dr. Weatherburn, Wythe county, Virginia.
Gentlemen, I purchased at your shop the preparations you call Hamilton's Essence, or Extract of Mustard, which I believe has perfectly removed a chronic rheumatism (of that kind named sciatica, or of the hip joint) under which I had laboured for a long time, and which had baffled every article in the Materia Medica, and every mode of treatment received into practice for the cure of this obstinate disease. If you think this letter useful you are at liberty to make it public.
Yours, &c. P. WEATHERBURN.
John Hoover, rope-maker, South Second Street, between Mary and Christian-Streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily maketh oath as follows, namely, that his wife, Mary Hoover, was so severely afflicted with a violent rheumatism, very dangerously situated, the consequence of a severe cold after lying in, as to be confined to her bed for several weeks, and was at length reduced to the melancholy apprehension of remaining a cripple for life, notwithstanding the most respectable medical advice was followed, and every probable remedy attempted: when seeing several cases of cures performed by Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard, they were procured from Mr. Birch, No. 17, South Second-Street. The first application enabled her to walk across the room, and the use of one bottle restored her to her usual state of health and strength.
Sworn and subscribed before Ebenezer Forson, Esq. one of the justices of the peace to Philadelphia County.
HAMILTON'S WOR DESTROYING LOZENG Which have within four years past cured upwards of one hundred and twenty thousand persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from worms, and form obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever of similar title, so commonly complained of as operating with violence; on the contrary, a particular 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. They are particularly efficacious in carrying off all gross humours and eruptions; feverish and bilious complaints, and are the safest and mildest purgative that can be used on any occasion. Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Tercs or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short, flat, white worm, and lastly, the Tania, or tape worm, so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and full of joints—It is most hurtful, and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted gums—itching in the nose and about the seat—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Starting and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purging, with slimy and fetid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with towness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms, should have immediate recourse to HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally during the warm season, will effectually prevent the vomiting and purging of children, a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands of the infant part of our cities. It is likewise the mildest and most certain remedy known and has restored to health and strength a great number when in an advanced stage of this fatal complaint. Particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the necessary treatment in such cases.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness; having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
CASES OF CURES. (Selected from thousands) the authenticity of which any person may ascertain, either by letter or personal application.
TAPE WORM. Mr. SAMUEL FULLER, Inn-keeper, on the Harford road, ten miles from Baltimore, began about 20 months ago to be grievously afflicted with a tape worm, which increased fast in size and strength, so as to excite the most horrid sensations by its writhing motions and intolerable pains, resembling the gnawing and tearing of his bowels, which deprived him of his necessary sleep, and caused such dreadful apprehensions as cannot be conceived but by one in a similar situation—his appetite wasted rapidly, and with that his strength, so that he was unable to attend to any business—when he heard of some excellent cures performed by Hamilton's worm lozenges, he took a large dose, which brought away about FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the possession of Lee & Co.)—but a renewal of his pains soon convinced him that this monstrous reptile had recovered its first vigour—Application was made to Lee & Co. for more of their medicine, with their advice—from which resulted the total, expulsion of his formidable enemy, in several pieces, which he supposed to be SIX or EIGHT YARDS more. A few months have since elapsed, and Mr. Fuller is now in perfect health. The above facts are well known to a numerous circle of his neighbours, and himself will gratify any who may wish to make further inquiries on the subject. Although Hamilton's worm lozenges produce such powerful effects, when necessary, yet they are perfectly innocent and mild in their operation on the human body, even taken in large doses, as Mr. Fuller will testify—their particular mildness is abundantly evident in innumerable cures of infants.
Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, York-town, Pennsylvania. Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOTHER, minister of the Moravian church, in York-town.
York, January 4th, 1802.
Dear Sir, Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recommended to me as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms, I procured a box for the use of my family, to try, whether by means of this medicine, I might be enabled to gain a point, which, to accomplish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very restless at night, grew leaner from time to time; in short, he seemed to be in a precarious state of health, which would yield to none of the medicines administered, until I gave him two doses of lozenges, agreeably to the directions, which carried off a substance to all appearance a mercurious but upon close inspection quit replected with very small living animals. No trace of that sort of worms which usually afflict children, came from him. Since that period he grew remarkably better in health, and though lean, has got a fresh and lively complexion. Upon different occasions I have used this medicine as a purging substitute, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly-ache, or any of those disagreeable sensations, so often occasioned by purging medicines. Upon the whole, I judge this medicine to be, besides its main object, one of the most salutary means for restoring lost appetite, and promoting a proper state of digestion, by carrying off that bilious substance, which engenders so much indisposition both among children and adults.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, JOHN MOTHER.
