EXTRACTS FROM BRUTUS, No. 3.
In perilous times, when iniquity and fraud are seen moving through the land, in the imposing garb, and under the insidious appellation of exclusive Republicanism—When muffled villains are assassinating private characters, threatening with subversion the foundation of the government, and the very principles of the social compact—indifference would be criminal and silence treason to the happiness of man. Impressed with a deep sense of these important truths, unawed by empty menace or vulgar epithets, influenced by no private considerations, I shall steadily though, at leisure pursue the work I have begun—and if aught of passion or invective should mark my progress, it will arise from the nature of the subject, never from an intentional violation of propriety, or a momentary disrespect to the feelings of the community. With Philo-Brutus I have nothing to do, and I should justly forfeit the confidence of the public, were I to notice any thing that appears in the polluted columns of the American Citizen. A wretch who owes his life to the patience of the country and the benignity of its laws, can never be noticed by the author of these essays. He shall therefore for a moment be permitted to slumber in fancied security. Neither pilfered letters nor violated seals shall now be raised to interrupt his repose, nor shall the recorded guilt of midnight mischiefs be presented to remind him of the playful levity of former days. With these horrid recollections it is not now intended to torment him. He has invited personal and judicial examination, in both perhaps he shall be gratified. His crimes and conduct may form the subject of a future number, they may be examined as a matter of curious speculation—and will be an instructive lesson to society. In the mean while, let him remember, that there is a Being, who can penetrate the secret recesses of the human heart; can dive the confines of hidden mischief, and by ways mysterious but unerring, directs the Arm of Justice, to the sure detection and punishment of guilt. Let him shudder and remember that neither a thief nor an Assassin can escape; and that a state awaits him, that will render him too infamous to be dreaded; harmless and inoffensive, because known and despised.
While making these observations, I cannot check the painful recollection of that weak and ruinous policy, that invites to our shores, the profligate and abandoned of every nation and opens every avenue to the insinuating influence of foreign vice and corruption. That destructive system which is admitting into the bosom of the country the itinerant preachers of disorder—the seeds of ruin, which received into a fruitful soil, and cherished by cultivation, will extend their poisoning efficacy to the vitals of the constitution—Deranging, where they can, the government that protects them, and the country in which they live—Blasting by their deleterious influence every thing they touch, and poisoning the sources of social comfort. Against danger so dreadful it behoves us to provide; our lives and property are equally the objects of their violence. On this subject I have had the satisfaction, of once holding the same opinion with Mr. Jefferson. But he has departed it seems, from those great and Presidential maxims of Government, which he once so eloquently promulgated in his Notes on Virginia.—The changes of his opinion may be traced in the Law, to which he has lately affixed his signature. This dereliction of former principles, will be a lasting monument of the instability of his public opinions, and to his sorrow be recorded in the histories of his country.
From the mistaken policy I have alluded to, from confidence misplaced, and an injudicious choice of friends, Mr. Jefferson will yet be involved in inextricable difficulties. But newly initiated into the mysteries of Executive functions, he must be prepared to meet the treachery of the fawning foes that surround him. Of men, who, destitute of talents or patriotic motives, have no common principle to bind them to the state. Ignorant of the true interest of the country, they have no other object than personal aggrandizement. They would willingly lead him into dilemmas, and rejoice at his distress. He is yet to learn it seems, that there are men, who, while they approach him in all the submissive and obsequious forms of humble
sycophants, meditate his ruin, and invite occurrences that will shake to the centre the best interests of the country.
No where has his incaution been more conspicuous than in this state; we have seen him without reserve confiding in men, who, until his elevation to the Presidential Chair have uniformly been his enemies. Who before that period, beheld him with the most inveterate hatred; but the moment he was invested with the executive power of the nation, these pliant and flexible patriots, influenced by selfish and sordid views, were studious to conceal their enmity, and enjoy all the advantages they could derive, from avowing the warmest friendship, and the most unconditional attachment. Then those pure Republicans, who now so loudly proclaim their disinterested efforts for the public good, became the eulogists of Mr. Jefferson; and he the subject of their unbounded admiration. No one then was so great, so able and patriotic. The men to whom I allude can without difficulty, be pointed out. To preclude all misapprehension it may be proper to remark, that ever since the interesting, and animated correspondence between Mr. Jefferson, while Secretary of State, & Mr. Genet, then minister from France, and which in its progress became somewhat personal, the connections of this last gentleman, have ever since spoken of the present executive, in the severest language of reproach; from his private character, they extended their animadversions to his public conduct. They denounced him not only as an unworthy character, but as incapable of office. That sentiments like these, have been uniformly held and expressed by Governor Clinton, is notorious. When the Republicans of this city, were calling for the efforts of every man in the community who valued the principles of Freedom, to assist in rising Mr. Jefferson to the Presidency, Governor Clinton persisted in pronouncing him a nerveless political trimmer, unfit for the office they intended him, incompetent totally to the discharge of its numerous and important duties. This, neither he, nor his friends for him, dare deny; it is a fact that cannot be controverted. Nor can it be eluded by asserting, that these feelings and opinions, did not extend beyond the person who uttered them."
"What then are we to think of men, who publicly profess attachments and sentiments which their hearts disavow? Who have dispositions so accommodating, while at one moment they defame a public character, at another can basely cringe to the object of their hatred—conceal their real sentiments, and prostitute their principles for the vile purposes of personal advancements? Can men of principles so base be intitled to that unlimited confidence which they so triumphantly claim? Are they worthy, the exclusive patronage of a Chief Magistrate, to whose elevation they were compelled reluctantly to contribute? Upon these questions it behoves Mr. Jefferson to reflect, or he will soon feel the malignant effects of their friendship."
SLANDER—AN EXTRACT.
"Slander, the worst of poisons, ever finds, An easy entrance in ignoble minds."
Amidst the many vices with which the present age is contaminated, none appears of such dangerous tendency, as that of slander, and considering the universality of its sway, none more deserving the scourge of the moralist.
How often have virtue and innocence been trodden under foot by this most detestable of vices!—How often has the fate of a poor forlorn stranger been decided over a "cup of tea" or a "glass of wine!"—How often has the bud of genius been destroyed by the chilling frosts of cold disdain! Is it possible that a human being can be so far lost to sense and feeling!—is it possible that any one can be pleased at such savage brutality?—yes it is too true—the manes of injured innocence, call loudly upon their cruel calumniators, and it is high time that this lurking serpent should be expelled from society.
One fruitful source of this vice, arises merely from an "idle defultory turn of mind." If mankind would pay more attention to their own affairs and conduct, they perhaps would not find so much time to investigate the characters and conduct of others. This class of characters conceive it beneath them "to think at all;" careless as to the embellishments of either mind or body, their chief delight is in "laughing from house to house" and de-
crying the characters of others, for such is their envy and spleen, that they cannot endure the idea of others possessing virtues and qualifications which they themselves were too idle to acquire. Happy would it be to mankind at large, as well as for the individuals themselves, if, instead of this kind of employment, they would learn to study and converse upon the useful. Nothing can be more insipid and irksome to a mind of sensibility, than to be obliged to hear the modern "tea-table chat," which merely consists of declamation, at the expence of some absent person: misrepresentation and abuse are the necessary accomplishments, and you are considered as a strange and reserved kind of being, unless you can, not only contribute your quota, but also subscribe to all they say, and ten to one but they will take the first opportunity to strip you, and leave you as bare and naked of virtues as themselves.
"What such characters can propose to themselves, by such a mode of conduct, I am at a loss to determine; it certainly can be productive of no advantage, but on the contrary is a direct path to infamy and reproach; for however virtue may be crushed by their cruel and ungenerous conduct, yet she cannot be totally overcome, and the time will certainly arrive when they will have reason to dread her rising power; every virtuous mind will look upon them with disdain, and like "proud Haman," they will at last fall a just sacrifice to their own devices."
The difficulty of forming a true judgement of the conduct of others, is a powerful argument against such a practice. An action at first sight may appear highly improper, and perhaps very criminal, yet may be very justifiable when all the circumstances are known, and until the motives be ascertained, we cannot possibly decide whether it be criminal or not, much less the degree of it.
It is also most destructive as it relates to society; it not only sets individuals, but families, states, and even nations by the ears.
There is no injury to which man can be subjected, that can hold any comparison with that his character may sustain. "He that steals my purse" (says the "immortal bard"), "steals trash—but he that filches from me my good name, robs me of that which not enriches him, but makes me poor indeed." Indeed it is a crime that is almost unpardonable: reputation is a tender flower, and slow of growth; it is perhaps the toil of many years; and to have it blasted in one hour by some unfeeling wretch!—at an evening's visit! over a cup of tea, or a glass of wine!—It is too much!—blush ye untuman brutes! behold sensibility weeping over the ruin you have occasioned!—may the arrow of self remorse, leave the rankling venom in such flinty hearts; may all the pangs they have occasioned on others, return with double torture to themselves, and the sword of the "destroying angel," leave neither root nor branch of such a tribe of gloomy assassins.
When, alas, "will the age of reason and philanthropy return!—when shall virtue raise her head!—I weep, for
"I am a man, and all calamities that touch Humanity, come home to me."
FROM THE PALLADIUM.
THE APPEAL—No. V. PUBLIC CREDIT.
AS soon as it was known that Mr. Jefferson was elected President, serious apprehensions were entertained for the preservation of public credit. The long continued opposition of the party about to assume the administration of the government to the federal system of credit, the invidious and odious light in which the public creditors had been steadily represented, shook all confidence in their disposition to preserve inviolate what they had often declared to be an intolerable evil.
Mr. Jefferson, aware of these impressions, took the earliest opportunity to soothe all uneasiness, and remove all distrust, by solemnly recognizing, in his inaugural speech, "that the honest payment of our debts and sacred preservation of the public faith," as one of the essential principles of our government. This declaration, made under such circumstances, by the first magistrate of the nation, was cherished as a firm security, by those who had not then learned from experience how to estimate promises.
In the next public communication of the President, we find a proposal to relinquish all the internal revenue, upon a "reasonable ground of confidence that the remaining sources would be adequate to support
the government, to pay the interest of the public debt, and discharge the principal in shorter periods than the laws or general expectation had contemplated."
It is obvious to remark upon this, that the laws had assigned no limited period for the redemption of the debt; they had made provisions for paying the interest, and gradually redeeming the principal, which, upon a moderate calculation, would be effected within about twenty years. But is it not strange, admitting Mr. Jefferson's confidence to be reasonable, that he should be willing to prolong an evil to its farthest limits, when, by seizing this golden opportunity, he could shorten its duration? Why not avail himself of this fortunate crisis, to display his patriotism, and give one instance of coincidence between professions and practice? Perhaps this might have happened, had not dear popularity whispered that her interest would be the best promoted by the repeal of taxes.—But in this instance, at least, her suggestions have proved false and delusive; for the sacrifice of expediency and right have more than balanced her flimsy pretentions. She is stript of her gorgeous apparel, her tinsel charms are vanishing, and she will soon appear to be that hag, so disgusting to pure and elevated minds.
The inexpediency of the repeal, proposed by Mr. Jefferson, and actually made by his friends in congress, is inferred from the immense loss occasioned by breaking up a sure and well organized source of revenue, and the inability to meet the engagements, and usual expenses of the government, which will be the inevitable result of this measure. It is not within the compass of our design, in these papers, to detail the arguments and calculations which produce this result; but we refer to the speeches in congress, particularly to that of Mr. Griswold, in which it appears, that, taking such estimates and calculations as have been admitted by both parties to be correct, with those made by Messrs. Gallatin, Randolph, and others, the abolition of the internal revenues will insure an annual deficit of nearly one million of dollars. This conclusion admits the reductions made in the naval and military department, but excludes any allowance for those various contingent expenses, which are constantly arising under every government. Where then are the revenues for paying the debt?
Again—A law of congress, passed on the third of March, 1795, provides, that all surpluses of revenue, which shall remain, at the end of the year, and which at the next session of congress shall not be otherwise appropriated or reserved by law, shall, ipso facto, become a part of the sinking fund. This fund, by other provisions, was vested in certain commissioners, for the express purpose of paying the interest and redeeming the principle of the public debt, and was to remain inviolable till the redemption should be accomplished.—Again, by other laws, often recognized and sanctioned by congress, we find the duties of impost, and the excise on distilled spirits, the very tax which has been abolished, solemnly pledged and mortgaged for the security of public creditors. The avails of these taxes have been set apart by the government, under all the force and solemnity it could give for a regular payment of the interest and gradual redemption of the principal of the debt. The only qualifications annexed to these two provisions of congress, are, 1st, that all annual surpluses of revenue shall ipso facto make a part of the sinking fund, unless otherwise reserved or appropriated by law, and 2dly, that the impost and excise on distilled spirits or other sources of revenue of equal amount, shall be appropriated to the payment of the interest and principal. Neither of these conditions includes the right to abolish the tax upon distilled spirits; it therefore stood pledged by act of congress till its late annihilation.
But to banish all forebodings of evil, and to heal the wounds of national faith, comes a bill with the splendid title of "provision for paying of the whole public debt of the United States." Here we can not forbear to notice the éclat with which this bill was introduced, and the high credit which the ministerialists assumed for this act of legislation. It was suddenly
* For a complete and elegant detail of this argument, we refer our readers to a series of numbers, in the ALEXANDRIA ADVERTISER, under the signature of "Lucius Crassus." They have since been collected and published in a pamphlet; they merit the particular attention of every honest man.

blazoned in every newspaper, and "pro- vision for paying the whole debt, every where met the eye in staring capitals.— Their sacred regard to public faith was pro- claimed by ten thousand tongues; their provisions for its preservation were trum- peted in every corner. One would have thought, from the reception of its friends, that the bill was a work of supererogation , not that of common honesty and justice; an exuberance of virtue, not its usual and steady course. But when we know that this very bill, with its imposing title, contains provisions for reloading, to an in- definite period, the whole of the Dutch debt, amounting to nine millions of dol- lars, we let down all those expressions of complacency and triumph, as the tribute hypocrisy pays to virtue. If the bill had been in fact, what it pretended to be, why should it be the subject of eulogium?— Would a common act of justice in a nation- al legislature be thought worthy of such marked applause? Provisions for the same purpose had been made by the federal ad- ministration, but did the ministerialists then hold the language of praise? Their motives are too obvious to be misunder- stood.
In addition to these acts, whose opera- tion can hardly fail to effect the very ex- istence of public credit, there are certain other corroborating proofs of a plain and unequivocal nature. These are manifested in that bitter, vindictive spirit towards public creditors, which has, till the epoch of inaugural speeches, characterised the present administration and its adherents. They have been denounced as speculators, usurers, and Jews, and held up as objects to odious, that to cheat them would be deem- ed a virtue. What then is the true value of an official promise, intended to sooth the public mind under its fears when bal- anced with those declarations, made with- out any possible motives of concealment, in the very gale of those feelings which must now be disguised? What confidence can we repose in one promise which is sanctioned by the violation of another ? As- las, they are made of such stuff as dreams are, mere baubles thrown out to amuse children.
We do not wish to multiply dangers, or arraign the measures of government un- justly. We should be glad to know that our apprehensions were ill founded; but when we look around us and find nothing but professions and promises, renewed as often as they are broken we confess our confidence droops.
We remember that the economists and reformers of France, when about to seize upon the property of the Church, made the most solemn promises to provide for the support of religion. We remember too, that they did seize the property, and we leave it to certain of our own philosophers to inform us in what manner religion re- ceived its promised support in France.
PUBLIUS LENTULUS.
SALEM, July 17.
Arrived, fchr. Roboreus, Knight, from Grenada, via St. Thomas's. Sailed in company from Grenada with the Schooner Farmer, Emery, for Boston. Left there, a Boston brig, and a ship belonging to Norfolk.
Ketch Three Friends, James Stuart, from the Isle of France. Sailed from thence a few days before the Bellarius May 3, lat. 30, 41, S. long. 32, 21, I spoke a ship 30 days from Batavia for Phil- adelphia—June 9, lat. 38, 58, long. 63 spoke a fchr. from Boston, for Martin- que, 4 days out, blowing fresh, could re- understand either the vessels or captain's names.
Ship Concord, Wyer, from Canton. This ship sailed in October, 1799, on a Sealing Voyage, and we are happy to learn that her success equals the enterpris- ing spirit of the gentlemen who planned and executed the voyage. Capt. Wyer spoke the following vessels: June 28, lat. 18, 50, N. long. 52, W. fchr. ———, Adamson, 27 days from Boston, bound for Trinidad; July 8, lat. 32, 30, N. long. 63, W. fchr. ———, Howland, 12 days from N. London, for Guadalupe; 14th, lat. 40 50, N. long. 68, 30, W. the ship Manilla, 75 days from Cadiz for New-York, Lot Clafby, master—short of provisions.
We understand that the ship Bellarius, lately arrived at this port from Sumatra, was detained for pepper nearly three months, at the different ports she visited on the coast, where this article was scarce, and at that time to be purchased with great difficulty. The British residents threat- ened to prohibit the trade to all foreign
vessels, as the two annual India Compa- ny's ships would not procure cargoes with- out a long detention. The Malays had attempted to cut off a small English brig mounting 10 guns, and had burnt the town of Lamonajee.
An American ship was lost in June, 1801, on the N. W. Coast; and it is feared the crew were cut off by the na- tives.

The United States frigate Essex, capt. Bainbridge, arrived at quarantine yester- day, in 37 days from Gibraltar. Capt. Bainbridge confirms the account of an ac- tion which took place lately between an Algerine frigate of 44 guns and a Portu- guese Frigate of 36, 15 miles to the south- ward of Malaga. After a few broad- sides the captain of the Portuguese (a Frenchman) had his thigh shot off.—
The engagement continued an hour, at the end of which time the Algerine succeeded in boarding. Twenty men were killed on the part of the Portuguese; and the capt. in a desperation, blew out his own brains with a pistol.

Alexandria Advertiser.
MONDAY, JULY 26.
"We this evening present our readers with a copious extract from the 3d num- ber of series of papers which have lately appeared in the Daily Advertiser. In de- fence of Mr. Burr, against the Clintons; to morrow we shall give the 4th number ntire. This writer will command no in- considerable share of attention. Criticism will allow that his style, tho' evidently that of youth and rather to elaborate for news- paper essays, and sometimes disfigured with newcoined words & new constructed phra- seology is yet quite superior to what is or- dinarily to be found in our diurnal prints. We should be inclined to believe, judg- ing from style alone, that the author is the same with the writer of several pa- pers which appeared a year or two ago in the New-York Gazette under the fig- nature of Epaminondas and which at the time arrested more than usual attention: The real author we have understood was successfully concealed and yet remains so. Whoever he be, he certainly conceives with a boldness, and expresses himself with a vigor, which will make his attacks felt "through all the classes of venality."— He seems to have made himself master of some important secrets in the camp of our political enemies, and many will rue the day, they ever exposed themselves so un- guardedly to the quick sighted friends or agents of Mr. Burr. We think the ex- posure he has commenced and threatened to pursue, will not fail to wither the nerves of many of "the ministers and sons of corruption." We wish him suc- cess so far as he directs the "tenor of his way" against vice and hypocrisy.— It is high time the pall was lifted to disco- ver to the people the hideous spectre which has so long lurked beneath with the poign- ard in one hand and the poisonous chalice in the other ready, when occasion should offer, to be used against the liberties of this distracted country."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in New Orleans, to his friend in Philadel- phia, dated June 22.
"A Courier has just arrived from Spain with dispatches to the Governor, &c. which do not mention one word of this province being given up to the French. The dispatches are as late as the begin- ning of April. Private letters in town just received from the Havannah state, that the province had been given up to the French, but returned, on condition that the Spaniards would pay the French five millions of money, five ships of the line, and repairs for twenty more. These let- ters speak confidently of this statement be- ing correct. If this account is true, we shall have reason to congratulate ourselves on the event."
Extract of a letter from New-Orleans to a gentleman in Philadelphia, dated June 22d.
"We are all in anxious suspense, igno- rant of what is to be our fate. There ar- rived here on the 19th, two French Com- missioners, dispatched by the captain of a French frigate in Havana to Vera Cruz, in search of money for the wants of St. Domingo. They came passengers in our money ships, which, after landing the mo- ney for the colony, were to have proceed- ed immediately to Vera Cruz from the Ba- lise. The capt. however has come up to town, and no doubt the vessel will soon follow, and we shall have an opportunity, during her stay here, to learn something of the intention of their government towards this country."
"We were some time ago dazzled with the hope that the United States were ne- gotiating for this part of the river: and as the report was pretty current, it furnished an excellent opportunity of ascertaining the sentiments of the people. I was pleas- ed to perceive the universal prevalence of satisfaction."
"You will be surprised to learn that the Spanish Court has given no advice whatever on this interesting subject, to its agents here. They know nothing at all respecting it, more than what is contained in private letters, or what is gathered from the American prints. The people in office are in general consternation, confi- dent of the retrocession being agreed upon. All are proposing to secure their property from the FRATERNAL RAPACIOUSNESS of their dear allies."

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 soreness and with obstructions 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—excess 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 unparallelled in the cure of    Nervous disorders,  Violent cramps in the stomach and back,    Consumptions,  Indigestion,    Lowness of spirits,  Melancholy,    Loss of appetite,  Gout in the stomach,    Impurity of the blood,  Pains in the limbs,    Hysterical affections,  Relaxations,    Inward weakness,  Involuntary emissions,    Seminal weakness,  Obligate gleets,    Fluor albus, (or whites)  Impotency, &c. &c.    Barrenness,   
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-Street, 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 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 Terec 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 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—Starting and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purging, with slimy and foetid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with tawniness 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. JAMES 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 glowing 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 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 best 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 ended off a resistance to all appearance a mercurial, but upon close inspection quite replet.
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 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 MOLTHER.
