SPEECH OF MOREAU, Before the Court of Criminal Justice.
GENTLEMEN, In presenting myself before you, I ask to be heard for a moment. My confidence in the counsel I have chosen is entire: I have resigned to them without reserve the care of defending my innocence; it is only in compliance with their desire that I wish to speak before the court, but I feel the need of speaking myself, both to you and the nation. Unhappy circumstances produced by chance or prepared by hatred, may obscure some periods of the life of the most upright man. With much address a criminal may remove from him both the suspicions and the proofs of his crimes; a whole life is always the surest testimony against, or in favor of the accused. It is then my whole life which I oppose to the accusers who pursue me. It has been sufficiently public to be known. I will recal some epochs of it, and the witnesses that I shall invoke are the French people, and the people whom France has conquered. At the commencement of that revolution which was to found the liberty of the French people, I was devoted to the study of laws. It changed the destination of my life; I devoted it to arms; I did not place myself among the soldiers of liberty from ambition; I embraced the military life from respect for the laws of the nation; I became a warrior, because I was a citizen. I supported this character under the col- lours; I have always preserved it. The
more I loved liberty, the more I submitted to discipline. I advanced very rapidly, but always from grade to grade, without overleaping any—always serving my country, never flattering the committees. Arrived at the chief command when victory caused us to advance into the middle of hostile nations, I did not less apply myself to make the character of the French people respected, than to make their armies dreaded. The war under my orders was a scourge only in the fields of battle. Even from the midst of their ravaged plains, more than once have nations and hostile powers rendered me this testimony. This conduct I believed as proper as our victories, to make conquests to France.
At the time when even contrary maxims appeared to prevail in the committees of government, this conduct did not excite against me either calumny or persecution. No cloud ever arose to tarnish the military glory which I had acquired, till that too famous day—the 18th Fructidor; those who, with too much rapidity extolled that day, reproached me with being too slow to denounce a man, in whom I could see only a brother in arms, even at the moment when the evidence of facts and of proofs convinced me that he was accused by truth, and not by unjust suspicions. The Directory, who alone knew the circumstances of my conduct sufficiently to judge of it correctly, and who, every one knows, could not be disposed to judge me with indulgence, boldly declared that they found me irreproachable; they employed me in their service; the post was not brilliant, but it soon became so.
I dare to believe that the nation has not forgotten how much I shewed myself worthy of it; it has not forgotten with what facile devotedness I fought in Italy in subordinate stations; it has not forgotten how I was restored to the chief command after the reverses of our armies, and renamed general, in some measure, by our misfortunes; it remembers how I twice recomposed the army of the wrecks of those that had been dispersed; and how, after having twice sent it back in a condition to oppose the Russians & Austrians, I twice resigned the command of it to enter on one of much higher confidence.
I was not, at that era of my life, more republican than in all the others; I appeared more so. I saw fixed upon me, in a more peculiar manner, the regards and the confidence of those whose province it was to impress new movements, and new directions on the republic. They proposed, it is well known, to place me at the head of Brumaire. My ambition, if I had had much of it, could easily conceal itself from all appearances, or even do honor to itself by every sentiment of the love of country.
The proposition was made to me by men celebrated in the revolution by their patriotism, and in our national assemblies by their talents; I believed myself made to command armies, and did not wish to command the republic.
This was enough to prove, in my opinion, that if I had an ambition, it was not that of authority, or of power; very soon after, I proved this still farther.
The 18th Brumaire arrived, and I was at Paris. That revolution, provoked by others as by me, could not alarm my conscience. Directed by a man environed with a blaze of glory, it made me to hope for happy results. I began to second it when other parties pressed me to put myself at their head to combat it. I received in Paris the orders of general Bonaparte. In executing them I concurred to elevate him to that high degree of power which circumstances rendered necessary.
When sometime after, he offered me the chief command of the army of the Rhine, I accepted it from him with as much devotion as from the hand of the republic itself. My military successes were never more rapid, more numerous, more decisive, than at that epoch when their splendour overspread the government which accused me.
Upon the event of so many successes, of which the greatest of all was to have ascertained, in an efficacious manner, the peace of the continent, the soldier heard the lofty shouts of national gratitude.
What a moment to conspire if such a design had ever been able to enter my soul! Every one knows the devotedness of armies to chiefs whom they love, and whom they have just led from victory to victory: an ambitious man, a conspirator, would he have suffered the occasion to have escaped when, at the head of an army of a hundred thousand men so often triumphant, he returned to the midst of a nation still agitated and always restless with regard to its principles and their duration?
I only thought of disbanding the army, and returned to the repose of civil life.
In this repose, which was not without glory, I enjoyed without doubt my honours—those honours which human power can never wrest from me, the remembrance of my actions, the testimony of my conscience, the esteem of my compatriots and strangers, and, if it may be said, the flattering and sweet presentment of posterity.
I enjoyed a fortune which was not great, because my desires were not immense, and which caused no reproach of conscience.—I enjoyed the entertainment of my retreat. Surely I was contented with my lot—I who never envied the lot of any. My family and my friends, so much the more precious as not having any thing to hope from my credit or my fortune, they could remain attached to me alone.
All these blessings, which alone I highly appreciate, filled my soul entirely, and could permit no undue desire or ambitious wish to enter; would it then be opened to criminal projects?
This condition of my soul was so well known, it was so well guaranteed by the distance at which I kept from all the paths of ambition, that since the victory of Hohenlinden till my arrestation, my enemies have never been able either to find or to seek me by another crime than the freedom of my discourses; my discourses—they have often been favorable to the operations of government; and if at any time they have not been so, could I therefore think that that was a crime among a people who had so often decreed that of thought, that of words, that of the press, and who had enjoyed much of it even under kings.
I confess, that, born with an openness of disposition, I have not lost this attribute of the country (of France) where I received life, neither in the camp where every thing gives a new impetus, nor in the revolution which has always proclaimed it as a virtue of the man, and as a duty of the citizen.—But do those who plot blame so openly what they disapprove? If I had wished to form and pursue plans of conspiracy, I would have dissembled my sentiments, and solicited all the situations which could have replaced me in the midst of the forces of the nation.
In order to trace this plan, in default of political genius, which I never possessed, I had examples known to all the world, and rendered imposing by their success. I know well that Monck did not withdraw from the armies when he wished to conspire, and that Cassius and Brutus approached the heart of Cæsar to pierce it.
Magistrates I have nothing more to say to you. Such has been my character such has been my whole life. I protest in the face of heaven and of men, the innocence and integrity of my conduct: You know your duties, France listens to you, Europe contemplates you, and posterity awaits.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 1.
At Amsterdam, June 1—schr. Brothers, of Alexandria, for Georgetown, to sail June 2; brig Moses, for Baltimore, do. brig Robert, Dun- can, of do. ship Sally, Hutchinson, and ship Sal- ly, Williams, both for do. brig John and Joseph, for ditto.
Our correspondent in New York, (says the American Daily Advertiser of Monday last) has enabled us to anticipate the contents of this day's mail.
The jury summoned by the Coroner of the city of New York, to enquire into the cause of the melancholy death of General Hamilton, have not yet agreed to their verdict. It is stated in the New York Daily Advertiser of Saturday, the 28th ult. that "Mr. M. L. Davis, and a boat- man belonging to the Office of the Morning Chronicle, were on Tuesday last committed to Bridewell by the Coroner—the former for
refusing, after having sworn to answer the ques- tions put to him as a witness—the latter for re- fusing to swear."
If Le Brun , the Arch-Treasurer of France, proves able, under the present cir- cumstances of that Empire, to support her armies, and navies, in inactivity; to defray the expenses of the Imperial Establishment of the Empress Josephina ; Princes of the Blood; Great and Grand Dignitaries, &c. &c. and do all this without giving its allies another fraternal squeeze , he may literally be pronounced a very arch officer .
NEW INVENTION.
SOLOMON DAWSON and ISAAC COX, of Kent county, (Delaware,) have invented a Machine, that takes off the heads of Wheat, Rye, and Barley, without losing the shat- tered grains in its ripe state; it promises to be one of the greatest inventions ever yet discovered in agricultural improvements as its utility tends greatly to curtail the ex- pence and labour of the farmer, save abun- dantly more of his grain, and improves the land. The inventors have not had a full opportunity this harvest to observe and cor- rect the imperfections (naturally attendant on all new inventions) so as to make it en- tirely complete; but as it will equally apply to the taking off the heads of clover, they expect by the time the seed is ripe to be able to satisfy any person desirous to pro- mote improvement in agriculture, who will find it answers every end contemplated. (Dover Argus.)
It is a curious fact, and worthy of remark, th t the actual duration of the republic of France has existed so long only as just to equal the dura- tion of the Commonwealth of England, which was eleven years and four months to a day, if the commencement of both be dated from the death of the King.

FROM THE REGISTER.
Mr. Editor, Somebody has somewhere said (tho' as I'm not much in the habit of reading, I forget who) that of all the arguments which were ever used, none have greater weight with most men, than those which are ad- dressed to their pockets. Tho' the party to which I belong (for you must know that I'm a democrat) have made good use of this kind of argument, by persuading the peo- ple that if they would only vote for Mr. Jef- ferson, their taxes would be lessened, yet you too, Mr. Editor, seems to think it a strong one, by printing so much to prove that Mechanics have as hard times, and that the public money is as much wasted now as when Adams was our President. Now tho' I'm not much used to writing and am afraid that as my arguments may outweigh yours, you won't print this, yet still as I want them to be read by the same persons that read yours, I tho't I'd try whether you would or not.
And first let me ask you, what more could any reasonable man wish for, to prove that Mr. Jefferson would do as we said he would, than what he told us all in the speech he made the day he was sworn in; I mean where he talked about "a wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labour the bread it has earned;" and about "economy in the public expence, that labour may be lightly burthened," for you must know that I tho't the speech such a fine one, that I got it all by heart, and could say the whole of it to you. But for all the speech is such a handsome one, there's an old neighbour of mine, who, as he has fought hard, and was wounded in the last war, I sometimes listen to more than I would to any other fed, who is always grumbling that words and deeds are differ- ent things, and about repairing and return- ing a French ship, with a hard name, that had been taken by one of our frigates, be- cause she had been capturing some of our merchants' vessels; and about wasting fif- teen millions of our money to buy a coun- try which we might have got for less, and which is hardly any use to us now we have got it; and, more than all, about taking off the taxes upon loaf sugar and pleasure car- riages, and still keeping them on salt, brown sugar, and some other things, which he says are necessary to fill the mouth of labour. I sometimes get quite angry when I hear him talk in such a foolish way, for did not the repairing the French ship go to lessen the "debt of gratitude" that we owe to our dear sister republic, (tho' the old man told me the other day, that I must not call her such any longer, for fear of offend- ing Bonaparte, whom he says they have made Emperor) and did not our doing so
get us the good will of "the enlightened government of France" as Mr. Jefferson calls it, and which suits all times. But more, Mr. Editor, did not Mr. Jefferson counter-balance the expence by letting our own frigates go without repairs, and even selling some of them, so that the people felt nothing of it in the end. But as you are a friend to the Merchants, I suppose you'll say as my old neighbour does, that as our frigates are sold, their vessels are no longer protected. About that, however, I think as Mr. Jefferson does, that it would be better for us if we had no commerce, for then we should be better republicans, and besides, almost all the Merchants are op- posed to him, and therefore if they should lose a little, it's no great matter.
But as I said before, I'm afraid you won't print this, and as I find it rather troublesome to write long, I'll wait to see whether you will or not, before you shall hear any thing more from A GOOD DEMOCRAT.
The following lines, considered as the pro- duction of a young Miss, only twelve years of age, a favorite of General HA- MILTON's in his life time, will be read with some interest and approbation:
ELEGY, On the Death of Gen. Hamilton.
Hark! while the decept on'd, solemn, funeral bell, Proclaims some chief has bade the world farewell! Mark! how they pay to worth the tribute due, While pitying tears the mournful cheek bedew. Well may they weep, and for his loss deplore: His country's friend, great Hamilton's no more! Who will not sigh when virtue meets the doom, And generous worth is summoned to the tomb? But in the iceing mind he'll ne'er expire, Still crowds shall bless him—blessing, still admire; Still shall he live, the favorite of Fame, Who thro' the world shall found his honor'd name; Record the virtues in his soul combin'd, True to his friends, nor to his foes unkind; Candid as truth, like innocence sincere, Liberal and just when others' faults appear; And when an error, or a vice he found, He scorn'd to add reproaches to the wound. When he fought nobly in his country's cause, 'Twas not ambition of a vain applause, But from pure motives, like a patriot brave, Her rights, her laws, her liberties, to save— Shall, then, Columbia's sons her grief repress? Shall they not all their virtuous hero bless? Who is there now can unconcern'd appear, And from his memory withhold the tear? See, at the tomb, what mournful crowds attend, Oh! patriot, hero, husband, father, friend! Now free from cares, from mad revenge secure, Angels shall wait thee to those regions pure, Where worth like thine shall find its bright re- ward, And FACTION's murd'rous arm is rear'd! L. L.
From the American Daily Advertiser.
The following tribute of affectionate remem- brance was intended to have announced the decease of a beloved fellow citizen, in the American Daily Advertiser; but its appear- ance was prevented at the time, by other effu- sions of spontaneous respect, which had been previously offered for insertion: It will still, however, be acceptable to many of our read- ers, as a more detailed account of a life that exhibited a shining example of piety, humility and zeal.
On the nineteenth of June after a linger- ing illness, departed this life—in peace with God and Man WILLIAM SAVERY, an eminent Minister of the Gospel of Christ, in profession with the Society of Friends. "Wisdom," says Solomon, "is grey hairs; and unspotted life, old age." The blameless subject of the following memento, had not yet completed his fity fourth year; and an aged mother still survives, to shed the tears of maternal affection, over the grave of a son, whose life and conversation had long adorned the doctrine of the Gos- pel. It was neither in the seclusion of a clois- ter, nor amidst the dissipation of a court; but in the familiar walk of common life & useful occupation, that the venerable man ful- filled the duties, and revived the example of a Christian Bishop in the age of the Apostles. "These hands," could he have said with St. Paul, "have ministered to my ne- cessities, and those that were with me; for he wrought daily at his trade which was that of a tanner, that he might provide things honest in the sight of all men, and have wherewithal to give to them that had need, without making the ministration of the Gos- pel a charge to any. Yet such was his con- sistent care to avoid entangling himself with the affairs of this life, that he might please Him, who had chosen him to be a Sol- dier in the Christian warfare, that he was wont to say, in the simplicity of his heart
"I am worth about"—so much, "and I never expect to be richer."
This faithful follower of a self-denying Leader, held nothing too dear to be parted with for the promotion of truth and righte- ousness in the earth. In the year 1796, with the approbation of his brethren, he visited the churches of their communion in Great-Britain and Ireland; and afterwards travelled through some parts of Holland, France and Germany, to salute, in the love and fellowship of the Gospel, the honest hearted professors of the Christian faith, of every religious denomination. From this apostolic mission he returned in 1798, with the answer of peace in his bosom; and a- gain betook himself to that quiet and peace- able life , in which he was an example to the believers, in all godliness and honesty.— When Philadelphia was re-visited with a pestilential fever in 1802, and again in 1803, this devoted servant of a Master that went about doing good , thought it his duty to remain in the city, and assist in taking care of the sick—thus literally, fulfilling the scripture definition of pure and undefil- ed religion , by visiting the fatherless and widows, in their affliction ; as well as by keeping himself unspotted from the world .
In the intercourse of social life, an easy temper, perhaps a spark of national vivac- ity (for he was descended from a family of French protestants, that had been exiled from Montpellier during the persecution of Louis XIV.) rendered him peculiarly frank and unreserved. His open counte- nance beamed with the cheerfulness of good will, and the grave deportment which becomes his profession, was happily tem- pered with natural urbanity, as well as christian grace.
In the exercise of his spiritual gifts, as a Minister of the Church Militant, he was careful not to run when he was not sent ; & such was the awefulness of his frame, in public prayer, that cold indeed must have been that heart, which was not animated by the fervency of his supplication. The tenor of his life was his Creator's praise and
"GLORY TO GOD!" was the grateful aspiration of his ascending spirit, when mortal was about to put on immortality, in the Christian triumph over death and the grave. It remains for us that are behind to follow him, as he followed Christ—if we also would receive the welcome sentence of "Well done, good and faithful servant. Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord."
THE following truly Pindaric effusion can never be sufficiently admired. We copy it from the concluding stanza of an Ode for the Fourth of July, fug at "Liberty Corner," Langdon, in the State of New Hampshire: Huzza! to the Constitution! Huzza! to the Republic! Huzza! Freedom! Independence! Huzza! to all America! Dame "Republica," in the second line, was guiltless, we suppose, that she might jibe with M rs Anne & z , in the 4th line. (Bost. Pal.)

Dr. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A foreign remedy for Colds, Obsolete 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 breath, accompanied with forensis 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 Healy, 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 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 lying 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 stomach and back,    Consumptions,  Indigestion,    Lowness of spirits,  Melancholy,    Lots of appetite,  Gout in the stomach,    Impurity of the blood,  Pains in the limbs,    Hysterical affections,  Relaxations,    Inward weakness,  Involuntary emissions,    Seminal weakness,  Obtinate gleet,    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 for 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.

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, 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 humors and corruptions; feverish and bilious complaints, and one swift and mild purgative that can be used on any occasion.
Description and the symptoms, of Worms which by they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Tapes 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 feet—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 foetid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with a sense 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—by Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges.
(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, Yorktown, Pennsylvania.
Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOLTHER, minister of the Moravian church, in Yorktown. 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 it resembled 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.

They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness—sickness at the stomach, and severe head-ache—and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
