From the London Courier, June 26.
External politics. —Perhaps the debates of last week afford us more insight into the situation of our external politics than of our internal.
Two different systems of political conduct in the present war, are proposed by the opposition and the administration.—The one wishes us to propose to France a general congress for the settlement of all disputes; a measure which they think would end in some peace, of which all these powers would be the guarantee. The other suggests that the wiser way would be to establish, first a co-operation with some of the continental powers, and to act upon the principle of joint peace, or joint war.
To the first of these proposals there is this objection, that France would be less likely to accede to, fair and honorable terms, when she saw us propose peace separately, that when she saw us connected and co-operating with other powers. In the one case she might think that were she to refuse our terms offered separately, she would only still have to encounter separate war, in the other she would have cause to believe that the refusal of fair terms, offered by powers acting in concert, would lead to a more extensive warfare. Lord Grenville says, that if we proposed peace upon fair terms, and they were not acceded to, we might be sure of a vigorous co-operation in carrying on the war. But does he not see that it would be much wiser in the first instance, to induce the other powers to co-operate with us vigorously in any propositions we might offer for peace; and that co-operation would give more strength and dignity to our position, and add redoubled weight to our overtures? The difference between the ministerial and the opposition principle is, that the former proposes co-operation in the first instance, before we offer peace, whilst the latter would have us offer peace, without waiting for vigorous co-operation; indulging the confident belief that should offers of peace be rejected, vigorous co-operation would there follow that rejection, in other words, they wish to prefer an uncertainty to a certainty. Another point to be considered is, whether if we evince a disposition to make a separate peace, we can reasonably expect in the event, of a refusal to accept our terms, any vigorous co-operation in the prosecution of the war? After having offered to make a separate peace, the continental powers could not doubt our disposition to make such a peace, and they might suspect that we should carry that disposition into execution, as soon as we had found that their co-operation had enabled us to procure those terms which, when we had made a separate offer, had been rejected. If they entertain such suspicions, it is natural to suppose they would feel much inclined to offer us any vigorous co-operation? Mr. Pitt therefore has acted upon the principle of vigorous co-operation, and of a just peace or joint war; which we have endeavored to prove to be the wiser principle of the two.
Of the state of the negotiations with the continental powers, we know nothing, further than that they have been conducted upon the principle to which we have alluded. Perhaps we ought to look to Russia for those lights which the minister does not feel it yet to be his duty to afford us.—Knowing that our communications with Russia have for their object joint peace or joint war; that Russia is about to send a negotiator to Paris for the avowed purpose of a pacific overture, it must be inferred we are concerned in that overture, and that an attempt is to be made to procure a joint peace.
But if our expectations of negotiation have not vanished, our expectations of any successful result from any negotiation for peace, have been considerably diminished by the intelligence we received yesterday. Bonaparte has taken grounds and laid down principles, which if he abides by, peace between this country and France is at a remote distance indeed. If his sine qua non of peace be the assent to his definition of the right of blockade by land as well as by sea; in other words, the admission of a definition which renders the exercise of that right on our part utterly impossible, all negotiation must be perfectly fruitless. We shall never accede to his interpretation. But if our expectations of successful negotiation for peace be but feeble, our expectation of a vigorous co-operation in the prosecution of the war have been strengthened. That confident assertions so recently made by the French government, the war would not extend to the continent, has been abandoned, and Bonaparte confines himself to a mere hope that the peace of the continent may not be disturbed. But he seems to think it not at
all improbable that his hopes may be disappointed. If he were as confident that Italy would remain tranquil, he would hardly have contemplated the event of his presence being necessary for the preservation of his kingdom of Italy.
There is but one power in Europe that can disturb the peace of that part of the continent, or make Italy the seat of war, Austria. Sufficient time has not yet elapsed to enable us to judge what impression the seizure of Genoa will produce upon the Austrian government, but it is impossible that they can view it with a favorable eye. The sentiments of the Austrian cabinet have evidently undergone a change since Italy was annexed to the crown of France.
Before, however, we received the last intelligence from Italy, we were prepared by some expression made use of by Mr. Pitt, to think the co-operation of Austria with this country, either for the restoration of peace, or the prosecution of the war, an event not at all improbable. Mr. Pitt evidently alluded to other powers when he allowed "that Russia alone, independent of other continental powers, was not efficient for effectually reducing the power of France. To interest other powers in the same cause, became a matter of the utmost consequence, though it was a matter extremely difficult to accomplish. The secrecy which such negotiations required; the discussion of the circumstances connected with such a close union of interests and the arrangement of the means by which the different members of the confederacy could all be brought to act together, were all reasons why the communications alluded to in the message could not yet be satisfactorily explained." It is evident that Mr. Pitt by these expressions does not allude to Sweden, whom every body knows it would be no difficult matter to interest against France: he does not allude to Prussia: he can only allude to Austria; but we observe that Mr. Fox has no very confident expectations of success from any co-operation of Russia or even Austria in the prosecution of the war. For our own parts we will not entertain such a desponding idea as that the power of France is so great as to be irresistible; to encourage and recommend universal apathy, servility and submission. Let us not so despair of the welfare and happiness of Europe; let us believe that there is no tyranny so extensive & gigantic, which unanimity, strengthened by virtue, and which valor, armed by justice, may not at length overthrow.
[There were many points which we had intended to touch upon, but which the length to which this article has extended, has prevented us. We meant to have made some remarks upon the inconsistency of those who, after having offered worse terms at Lisle, declaim against the peace of Amiens. We intended too to have dwelt upon that part of Mr. Pitt's speech in which, proving our financial resources to be so flourishing and ample, he dispelled those gloomy phantoms which had been conjured up by Mr. Grey. To these points we shall, no doubt, have frequent opportunities of alluding hereafter. At present we shall content ourselves with quoting the words of Mr. Pitt. "It is most consoling and encouraging to the country to reflect that instead of going on as in former wars, twenty millions of war taxes raised without any material inconvenience to the commerce, the manufactures, or the agriculture of the empire. In addition to this, we find eight millions annually set aside to operate the gradual reduction of the national debt; when we find the taxes, great as they are, becoming more productive every year; when we see the burthens to which the necessities of the state have subjected us attended with increasing industry, and their consequences private and public opulence, there is no one who must not feel proud and elated with the cheering prospect which all those unfortunate coincidents offer to our view."]
From the United States Gazette. SPOLIATIONS ON OUR COMMERCE.
Ever since the introduction of "economies" into our system of government, and the consequent reduction of our navy to the "least competent force," our neutral rights have become, systematically, an object of scorn and derision with every nation with whom we are connected. The armed ships of England and France have, for nearly two years, been in the habit of blockading our ports and harbours; attacking and capturing each other within our jurisdiction; seizing upon our vessels in sight of port, and impressing our seamen and citizens in open defiance of our sovereignty and their protections. Nay, the miserable Spaniard, who has hardly an existence or a name among the independent nations of
the earth, rises into a momentary importance when put in comparison with a government still more pusillanimous than his own; and unable to resist the temptation of showing that there is one power on earth sufficiently contemptible to be spurned and trampled on with impunity even by him, he too erects his crest, affects to play the bully; seizes upon our vessels public and private; refuses to satisfy our claims, which have once been acknowledged as fair and valid; and suffers our ministers, one after another, to make him humble court; to pray, that he will graciously be pleased, in his great mercy, to do us justice; and then to depart as they went, leaving him hereafter either to grant or reject our prayers (for they cannot be called demands) as humour or interest may dictate.
Such is the situation of our foreign relations. Yet "Gallio cares for none of these things."—Our administration, sufficiently occupied and amused about horned frogs, salt mountains, and prairie dogs, leave the subordinate concerns of national rights to their own course.
It is true, that during the last session of congress the clamours of the country became so great in consequence of the injuries and insults that were heaped upon us, in our very harbors, that government was at length forced to affect some solicitude upon the subject. It then became a question what was to be done. To send and remonstrate with those governments by whose subjects the outrages were committed, demanding reparation, and at the same time preparing by force to repel future aggressions if they should be found to be authorised, would be to act just as general Washington and Mr. Adams had acted before; and of course would be very unphilosophical and anti-republican. After much deliberation and consultation, a law was finally passed just at the close of the session, entitled "An act for the more effectual preservation of peace in the ports and harbours of the United States, and in the waters under their jurisdiction." This law enacts, that foreigners, in armed vessels, shall not commit insults and outrages in our ports and harbors; and if they do, that our marshals, and constables, and militia men shall go and take them out of their ships of war and have them before our justices, by whom they shall be fined and imprisoned and sent out of the country, and that they shall never come here again.
If any thing was before wanting to render us completely ridiculous as well as contemptible in the eyes of foreign nations, it was just such a law; a law, which was intended merely to be talked of, and to enable the friends of the administration to say that something had been done for the vindication of our national rights and sovereignty; a law which at the time of its passage we predicted would never be carried into execution; because, paltry and inadequate as it is, we knew that the administration would never have the courage to execute it.
The event has verified the prediction. Those very humiliating insults which that law was to prevent and punish, have been daily increasing; there is now scarcely a port of any consequence in the U. States which is not blockaded in form by armed vessels of some foreign power, and scarcely a mail arrives that does not bring intelligence of some violence committed upon the persons or the property of the citizens of this "free, sovereign, and independent nation." Where then is this formidable law which was to arm Mr. Jefferson with power to overawe the nations of Europe, and compel them to observe the laws of nations and respect the rights of neutrality? Is it totally inadequate to the object, that it should sleep in perfect inactivity at such a time as this! If so, the more shame to those who made it and those who praise it, when they ought to have been doing something that would be efficient for our protection and for the preservation of peace in our ports and harbors. On the contrary, will it be said by any one that the act was dictated by political wisdom, and that it is competent to the object for which it was made? The very acknowledgment is the severest of all reproaches upon the chief magistrate of the union, who having in his hands the means of protecting our rights, looks on with perfect unconcern, for month after month, and sees them made the sport, the derision, and the prey of every paltry picaroon that navigates our waters, while he is amusing himself and the nation with knick-knacks and playthings that would disgrace a school boy.

LONDON, August 7.
The merchants at Leeds and the rest of Yorkshire, have come to a resolution not to ship any goods in neutral vessels, to any port whatever, American ships to American ports excepted.
Alarming riots occurred at Vienna on the 6th and 7th of July, on account of the high price of bread. The military had to fire on the mobs, and several persons were killed.
LIVERPOOL, July 24.
It is remarkable that the price of bread should still increase, notwithstanding the large importations to different parts of the kingdom.
The wheat imported into the port of London for four days, as per bill of entry, is as follows:
 15th of July, 7,090.  16th, 11,400.  17th, 4,360.  18th, 22,570. 
Total 45,420 quarters.
There never was a greater importation of grain into Shields in so short a space of time than took place during last week. No fewer than 17 vessels laden with that valuable article have arrived, whose joint cargoes amount to about 5500 quarters of wheat, and 8700 of rye.
BOSTON, Sept. 17.
COMBINED FLEET.
By an arrival at Plymouth, from Bilboa, advices are said to be received, informing, that admiral Calder was off Ferrol, on the 12th August; and had heard nothing of the combined fleets since his engagement with them.
If this news is correct, and that also, which has been received from Lisbon, stating, that previous to the 7th August the combined French and Spanish fleets had left Vigo, they must have proceeded in a direction when they would be likely to fall in with lord Nelson, who was off Cape St. Vincents on the 28th July standing towards Ferrol.
A gentleman, who arrived in the Perseverance, from Marseilles, informs, that the most current topic of conversation, at that place, was, the projected partition of Switzerland, by France, and some of the other neighboring Potentates of Europe. The Emperor Napoleon, it was said, was to have those parts, which border on the French territory; while Austria, as a requital of her acquiescence, in the plan, was to be put in possession of the German Cantons.
Letters received in town on Friday last, from several intelligent American gentlemen in Bordeaux, speak in the language of seriousness, that from the measures of the French government, which were then taking place on the sea coast there was every appearance that the long talked of invasion of England, would take place in the course of this summer.
The Emperor was hastening his journey to Bologne; moorings were preparing at Cherbourg for the shipping; immense bodies of troops were marching to the coast; and the flotilla, in every direction in movement.
PHILADELPHIA, September 18.
Let Mr. Jefferson and his cabinet peruse the following communication, on the part of the British government, in answer to a letter from the Merchants, which complained of depredations on their commerce, and if there is a single spark of American feeling among the groupe, let them blush for their tame endurance of the insults and injuries that have been heaped upon the American Seamen and Merchants:
"A letter having been written to the lords of the admiralty, complaining of the depredations committed on the British commerce by the enemy's privateers cruising off the coast of America, the following answer was yesterday returned to the merchants, by the secretary to the admiralty:
"Having laid before my lords commissioners of this admiralty your letter of the 22d instant, respecting the danger to which the British commerce is exposed on the coasts of South Carolina and Georgia, from the great number of French and Spanish privateers, cruising there, I am commanded by their lordships to acquaint you, that they have seen a copy of your letter to vice admiral sir Andrew Mitchell, and directed him to take the necessary measures for the protection of the trade, on that part of the coast.
"I am gentlemen, your very humble servant,

Captain Allen arrived at New-York from St. Sebastian, informs, that it was stated in a French paper "that the French and Spanish combined fleets had fallen in (near Ferrol) with 15 or 16 line of battle ships, and that an engagement took place, which lasted 3 hours; the British fleet then sheer-ed off; it was further stated, that only nine of the combined fleet were engaged, and that two Spanish sail of the line were missing after the battle ceased."

COUNTERPART
Under the present glorious administration, Mr. Pinckney has been four years exerting his diplomatic skill at the court of Spain & obtained nothing but insult!! [Phil True Amer.]
What do federalists wish? —The democrats frequently effect to think it very strange that the federalists complain of the present administration, and ask as though they expected some extraordinary answer, "what do they wish?"
It is not altogether candid that the federalists who certainly know what they wish, are not allowed to answer for themselves. The democrats say we want to subject this country again to the domination of Great Britain. Preposterous as this must appear to every man of any information, there is a class among whom such tales are circulated with some effect. To such an absurdity there can be no serious reply; if federalists are allowed to partake of the common feelings of human nature, they must ever wish that country in which lies their all to be free and independent.
The federalists are again represented to be rich; and desirous to see government impose "heavy and grievous taxes." This is no less absurd than the former. Of all the taxes for the support of government, the principal part is always laid on property—Can the rich be rationally supposed to desire unnecessary burthens upon themselves?
The federalists are said to wish for artificial distinction in society. Where is there a shadadow of evidence to support this charge? Have not the federalists had the management of the national government, and of most if not of all the state governments? Where is there on record a single act or a single speech of aristocratic distinctions? Their whole conduct has tended as much as possible to favor political equality, the only equality that has now any open advocates.
What then do the federalists wish? Let their actions speak. They made a constitution from which they derive their name. They are attached to that constitution and have done all in their power to preserve its principles inviolate for posterity. They have opposed the attacks of innovators with much zeal and sincerity, though unhappily without success. They did hope that the government of this country was settled—that the experiment was made, and the result proved satisfactory. They see our last institutions threatened or demolished—they wish to preserve what remain.
When they complain of the administration their complaints shew in explicit language what they wish. They ask that government would protect the rights of its citizens, and preserve its dignity and rank, among the nations of the earth. Will any man presume to say he is an American and censure this?
Without pretending to designate individuals to the executive, as candidates for his favor, they wish him only to chuse men of fair reputation; respectable in society; men in whom their fellow citizens can justly have confidence;—men whose names would do honor to their patron and their country.
In short they wish to see the institutions of our fathers perpetuated, property defended, the national character supported, and public morality encouraged as the lasting basis of social happiness.
This is what the federalists wish; and though they complain and we confess almost incessantly, we defy any friend of the administration to point out a single remonstrance that has any other object—REPERTORY.
New Constitutions. —The rage for altering under pretence of amending appears to be spreading. A writer in a late Kentucky paper has recommended to his fellow citizens a number of amendments to their state constitution, and Mr. Sloan, a butcher and member of congress from New-Jersey, whom our readers will recollect our having several times noticed, has published an address to the people of his state advising the adoption of similar measures. Formerly these charters of our rights and liberties were considered sacred, and any alteration of them was to be made with extreme caution. But in these latter and more enlightened times, every fellow who can insinuate himself with the multitude so as to become a legislator, thinks himself as well qualified to frame a constitution as to kill a bullock or to dress his hide, and goes about it with as little ceremony. Let any person look back 6 or 8 years and observe with what inviolability the constitution of the United States was regarded by some of our greatest patriots. Every act of the government was then represented by them as an attempt to destroy it, whether the object was for raising a few hundred soldiers, the building half a dozen frigates or depriving the people's friends of the invaluable privilege of lying—all, all was tortured into an attempt to establish an aristocracy, and to overthrow the constitution. By a person unacquainted with
all the movements of the faction who now rule, it would very naturally be asked where are now, in these times of real danger, these most watchful jealous guardians of our rights, where are those patriots who defeated all these navies, armies, &c. &c. To such an one we would answer, that these very men by their lies and by their cunning have got themselves fixed in power, and are now striving to overturn that constitution which they formerly affected so much to venerate. Foremost among those, and formerly most loud in sounding the alarm, stand Duane and Randolph with that miserable brawler Joe Nicholson. The first of these gentry, in his project for new modelling the constitution of Pennsylvania, has created confusion and uproar in that state, and the other two by their resolutions, proposed at the close of the late session of congress, have done all in their power to extend it to the union. We are truly surprised at the little interest excited by these resolutions, which if carried into effect, and in the present temper of the times we think it probable that they may, will render our liberty and our independence but an empty boast.

DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obstinate Coughs, Asthma, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and approaching Consumption.
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 soreness 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 Henry, Bridge-street, Baltimore, was cured by one bottle of Hamilton's Elixir of a very complicated disorder, occasioned by a severe 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 favor of his 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 unfavorable 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,  Violent cramps in the    Consumptions,  stomach and back,    Lowness of spirits,  Indigestion,    Loss of appetite,  Melancholy,    Impurity of the blood,  Gout in the stomach,    Hysterical affections,  Pains in the limbs,    Inward weaknesses,  Relaxations,    Sceminal weaknesses,  Involuntary emissions,    Fluoribus (or whites)  Obstinate gleet,    Barrenness,  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 complaint 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 labored 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.
W. 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.

HAMILTON'S
WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES,
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 from 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 and only is its being suited to every age and constitution contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent,
found 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 humors and corruptions; feverish and bilious complaints, and the safest and mildest purgative that can be used on the 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 Terec or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short, flat, white worm, and lastly, the Taenia or tape worm, so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and is 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—Staring and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purgings, with slimy and fetid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness 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 advanced stages 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—
By Hamilton's
WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES,
(Selected from thousands) the authenticity of which are per 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 twenty 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 his 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 walked 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 a bout 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 vigor—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 neighbors, 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 MOLTHER 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 mere mucus but upon close inspection quite repletes with very small living animals. Not one 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 other disagreeable sensations, to 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 MOLTHER.
