PARIS, March 12.
The Marquis Lucchesini, minister of his majesty the King of Prussia, congratulated the First Consul on the 6th of this month, on the issue of the Congress of Lyons.
Count de Cobentzel, ambassador of his majesty the Emperor of Germany, made known directly to the First Consul, on the 9th, the resolution formed by his majesty, of receiving ministers plenipotentiary from the Batavian, Helvetic, and Italian republics; and that he was disposed, on his part, to name ministers of the same rank to reside in these republics. He testified also that his imperial majesty had seen with interest the definite organization of the Italian republic.
Count de Marcoff, by the return of the courier dispatched to make known the issue of the Congress of Lyons, received letters of credit to reside at Paris as minister plenipotentiary.
The chief de brigade Colincourt has written a letter by the same courier, that his imperial majesty of all the Russias had seen with interest the measures taken at Lyons for re-establishing commerce with his states. His majesty appeared satisfied with the nomination of General Hedouville to reside at his court. Moniteur.
MILAN, March 1.
C. Marechalci, minister of the Italian republic at Paris, has received a letter from the minister Talleyrand, inviting him to appear before the First Consul in the uniform adopted in France for the ministers, only substituting for the French national colours the colours of the Italian republic. He has been informed at the same time, that instead of presenting himself with the foreign ministers in the diplomatic audiences, he may place himself in the rank of the French republic, because his relations with the First Consul, since the consulta of Lyons, are changed, and that his functions are no longer those of a diplomatic agent, but a minister of foreign relations of the Italian republic.
It is said that 200 of our best troops, half infantry, half cavalry, are going to Paris, to form a guard of the Italian nation to the First Consul.
VIENNA, February 26.
According to private letters the court of London insists on retaining possession of Alexandria.—The French government must have transmitted to the porte a remonstrance on this subject. A courier from Paris, who passed through this city ten days ago, on his way to Constantinople, was, as is said, charged with dispatches relating to this affair: he was followed some hours afterwards by M. Cadres, Secretary to the Ottoman embassy at Paris.
Bonaparte, First Consul of the French republic, to citizen Toussaint Louverture, general in chief of the army of St. Domingo.
Citizen General,
Peace with England, and all the powers of Europe, which places the republic in the first degree of greatness and power enables, at the same time, the government to direct its attention to St. Domingo. We send thither citizen Le Clerc, our brother-in-law, in quality of Captain, General, as First Magistrate of the colony. He is accompanied with the necessary forces to make the sovereignty of the French people respected. It is under these circumstances that we are disposed to hope that you will prove to us, and all France, the sincerity of the sentiments you have constantly expressed in the different letters you have written to us. We have conceived for you esteem, and we wish to recognize and proclaim the great services you have rendered to the French people. If their colors fly on St. Domingo, it is to you and your brave blacks that they are indebted. Called by your talents, and the force of circumstances, to the first command, you have destroyed the civil war, put a stop to the persecutions of some ferocious men, restored to honor the religion and worship of God, from whom all things come. The constitution you have formed, in containing many good things, contains others which are contrary to the dignity and the sovereignty of the French people, of which St. Domingo forms but a part.
The circumstances in which you are placed surrounded on all sides by enemies, without the mother country being able to succour or to feed you, have rendered legitimate the articles of that constitution, which otherwise could not be so. But now
that circumstances are so happily changed, you will be the first to render homage to the Sovereignty of the Nation, which reckons you among the number of its most illustrious citizens, by the services you have rendered to it, and by the talents and the force of character with which nature has endowed you. A contrary conduct would be irreconcilable with the idea we have conceived of you. It would deprive you of your numerous claims to the gratitude and the good offices of the republic, and would dig under your feet a precipice, which, while it swallowed you up, would contribute to the misery of those brave Blacks, whose courage we love, and whom we should be sorry to punish for rebellion.
We have made known to your children, and to their preceptor, the sentiments by which we are animated. We send them back to you. Assist with your councils, your influence, and your talents, the captain general. What can you desire—the freedom of the blacks! You know that in all the countries we have been in, we have given it to the people who had it not. Do you desire consideration, honours, fortune? It is not, after the services you have rendered, the services you can still render, with the particular sentiments we have for you, that you ought to be doubtful with respect to your consideration, your fortune and the honors that wait you.
Make known to the people of St. Domingo, that the solicitude which France has always evinced for their happiness, has often been rendered impotent by the imperious circumstances of war; that men, come from the Continent to agitate and nourish faction, were the produce of the factions which themselves destroyed the country; that, in future, peace, and the power of the government, ensure their prosperity and freedom. Tell them that, if liberty be to them the first of wants, they cannot enjoy it but with the title of French Citizens; and that every act contrary to the Government, and the captain general, who is the delegate of it, would be a crime against the national sovereignty which would eclipse, their services, and render St. Domingo the theatre of a wretched war, in which, fathers and children would massacre each other.
And you, General recollect, that if you are the first of your colour that attained such great power, and distinguished himself by his bravery and his military talents, you are also before God and us, the principal person responsible for their conduct.
If there be disaffected persons, who say to the individuals that have played a principal part in the troubles of St. Domingo, that we are coming to ascertain what they have done during the times of anarchy, assure them, that we shall take cognizance of their conduct only in this last circumstance: and that we shall not recur to the past, but to find out the traits that may have distinguished them in the war carried on against the Spanish and English, who have been our enemies.
Rely without reserve on our esteem; and conduct yourself as one of the principal citizens of the greatest nation in the world ought to do.
The First Consul,
BONAPARTE.
Paris, 17 Brumaire.
Congress of the United States.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Thursday, February 25.
Debate on the bill received from the Senate entitled "An Act to repeal certain acts respecting the organization of the courts of the U. States."
Mr. DAWSON.—When we are told, sir, that we are about to pass a law which violates that constitution which we have all sworn to support; when this is echoed over and over again from every quarter of the house, I can no longer, sir, indulge that disposition which I have to be silent; and I now rise to enter my protest. When we are told, sir, that we are about to adopt a measure which will endanger the peace and happiness of our country, it behoves us to summon all our wisdom, to investigate the subject with all deliberation, and to ascertain clearly those great principles which while they guard our constitution, secure the rights, the liberties, and property of the people. Such, sir, is the language which we have heard for the last ten days from gentlemen on the other side of the question, and such, sir,
is the course which has been adopted by us. I believe, sir, that there never was any subject in any country and at any time more ably discussed than this has been in the other branch of the legislature; I believe, sir, that few subjects have been more fully investigated than this has been in this house. Sir, the arguments used by an enlightened and venerable gentleman from Massachusetts on my right; by an honorable gentleman from North-Carolina on my left, and by several of my colleagues, must still be fresh in the recollection of every gentleman of this committee. Permit me to say, that their conclusive strength has not been impaired by anything which has fallen in reply, nor do I mean to entitle them by any observations of mine either as to the expediency or constitutionality of the measure.
Sir, in a field extensive as this, it is more than probable that some gleanings do still remain; the collection of those I shall leave to other gentlemen more ingenious and more industrious than myself, and will beg leave to reply to some of the observations of a collateral nature which have just fallen from the gentleman from South-Carolina. Think not, Mr. Chairman, that I mean to notice those which may be considered of a personal nature; the respect which I have for you, for this committee, and for myself, all forbid it; there are others to which I will advert.
The dreadful picture which has been drawn by that gentleman of the situation of our country, should we pass this bill, will for a long time haunt the recollection of every gentleman of the committee, and, if true, disturb the peaceful slumbers of that honorable gentleman; whether he has drawn the picture to the life, or whether it is too highly colored, it rests with the committee to determine. To a gentleman, sir, of his fancy, of his imagination, the task was an easy, and I may add it was a very unnecessary one; it is admitted by us, that the constitution of our country is the ark of our covenant; the rock of our salvation on which political storms, and the rage of party may beat, and subside; this is the doctrine for which we have always contended; which we support on this day; and could the friends to this repeal be taught to doubt the constitutionality of the measure, I am bold to say, they would immediately withdraw their support. Nay, sir, for myself, I avow, that was I not persuaded that the public good and the public will do imperiously command the repeal, sympathy and a regard for the feelings of men, who have been invited into office by a public act, and sanctioned by a public appointment, would induce me to oppose this bill. But believing as I do, that the public will, and the public good do command the repeal, and that the constitution of our country does not forbid it, I shall vote in favor of the repeal, and lend to it my feeble aid.
Mr. Chairman, in the course of this debate a new character has been introduced, and has occupied much of our attention; it was presented to us by the hon. the mover of the amendment from North Carolina; it has been invoked and pretty freely used by his neighbor, who has just set down, it is a spirit, sir. Mr. Chairman, you will confess, that there is some difficulty in meeting an opponent of this sort, and in answering arguments drawn from this source. I believe it best done by declaration; for myself, then I declare that spirit of which we have heard so much; that spirit of innovation which gentlemen so highly deprecate, is that spirit which I adore.
It is not Mr. Chairman, that spirit which, fearful of itself, gave to us an alien and sedition law, thereby driving the invited stranger from your shore, and rendering each neighbour suspicious of the other.
It is not that spirit, sir, which in defiance of a positive injunction of our constitution placed a gag on your press, to prevent an investigation of its own proceedings—it is not that spirit, sir, which threatened a transportation of your citizens to their enemies, and the humbling of them in dust and ashes, because they dared to express their sentiments on their own concerns; in fine, sir, it is not that spirit which by the creation of useless and expensive establishments loaded your citizens with taxes and stained your country with insurrection. No, sir it is the counter-spirit! It is that spirit, which places confidence in our fellow-citizens, and fears not the machinations of those who may visit us—which pronounces freedom
to religion—freedom to the press—which restores economy in your public expenditures, thereby rendering to labor its full reward. It is that spirit, sir, which has required the repeal of the obnoxious laws I have mentioned, and of many more; and which now commands the repeal of this law—it is the voice of the people!
But, Sir, gentlemen, not content with hunting down that spirit in this country, have in the whirlwind of their fury, crossed the Atlantic and sought it in a far distant world. Sir, the time has been, nor is it far distant, when it was the rage, the fashion of the day, to pour forth abuse on every act of the French republic, from the commencement of the revolution; and perhaps, Sir, the aggressions of that nation on us might seem some justification. Often, Sir, have I heard in this house, woeful lamentations for a murdered king, as gentlemen were pleased to call him; often, Sir, have I seen their warmest sensibility excited for the violated sanctity of the holy father, as they were pleased to term him; whatever might have been the passions of gentlemen at that day, I did hope that they would have subsided at this, when we have made a peace with that republic; and let it here be impressed on the minds of every gentleman of the committee, a peace on the very terms which the political friends of these gentlemen were pleased to prescribe; terms, which thus prescribed have already brought many petitions to your table, and will, I fear, draw much money from your treasury.
How far observations of the nature of those to which I have alluded, comport with the dignity of the national legislature; how far they give respectability to our proceedings, or policy to our government I will leave to those gentlemen who use them to determine, and will notice some of the remarks which fell from the gentleman from Delaware.

TUESDAY, MAY 11.
We are authorized to states, that Samuel Cabot, Esq. has been recently instructed by the President of the United States to repair to London, for the purpose of executing cer- tain duties before the board of Commissioners acting there under the 7th article of the British Treaty.—Such of the claimants as have documents to transmit, and are dispo- sed to be availed of this opportunity, are re- quested to cause the same to be forwarded without delay to Store No. 22, Long whar- where they will be duly attended to. Boston paper.
The brig Peace, captain Smith, has ar- rived at Newburyport in 48 days from Corunna, (Spain.) Captain S. informs that it was published a few days before his departure, that the Spanish craft had free liberty to trade to all the English and French Islands, a liberty which has never before been permitted—this will prove very prejudicial to our trade in that quar- ter.
Can any one read the debate in Con- gress, on the subject of the repairs of the Berceau, and not feel amazement at the bold and brazen falsehood of the follow- ing statement, extracted from the Aurora of the 3d inst.
“On her (the Berceau) thus becoming a vessel of the U. States, the federal secre- tary, Mr. Stoddard, ordered her to be re- paired for service, and the expences were paid by him out of the navy fund.
“On the present executive and minis- ters coming into office, they found the Ber- ceau repaired and the expences paid.”
The fact appears to be precisely this— that Mr. Stoddard, while in office, and before it was known that any vessels cap- tured from the French would be again re- stored, advised the repairs in question to be made on this vessel, as the property of the United States—but that after it was known that she was to be delivered up to the French government, General Smith, the Vice-Secretary of the Navy, actually ordered these repairs; thus generously giving to a power that had already rob- bed us of more than 20,000,000 dollars, a sum of money equal to the whole extra expence of the new judicial system, calcu- lated to advance the interests and happi- ness of the great body of American citi- zens, from one extremity of the continent to the other.

MESSAGE
From the President of the United States.
Gentlemen of the Senate, and of the House of Representatives,
IN pursuance of the act, intitled “An act supplemental to the act, intitu- led an act for an amicable settlement of limits with the state of Georgia, and authorizing the establishment of a govern- ment in the Mississippi territory,” James Madison, secretary of state, Albert Gal- latin, secretary of the treasury, and Levi Lincoln, attorney general of the United States, were appointed commissioners to settle by compromise with the commission- ers appointed by the state of Georgia, the claims and cession to which the said act has relation.
Articles of agreement and cession have accordingly been entered into and signed by the said commissioners of the United States and of Georgia, which, as they
leave a right to congress to act upon them legislatively at any time within six months after their date, I have thought it my duty immediately to communicate to the legislature.
TH: JEFFERSON.

SIR, WE have the honor to enclose a copy of an agreement entered into between the commissioners of the United States, and those of Georgia, in pursuance of the act entitled “An act supplemental to the act, entitled “An act for an amica- ble settlement of limits with the state of Georgia; and authorizing the estab- lishment of a Government in the Mississippi territory.

We have the honor to be, Very respectfully, SIR, Your obedient servant, JAMES MADISON, ALBERT GALLATIN, LEVI LINCOLN,
City of Washington, April 26th, 1802. The President of the United States.
ARTICLES OF AGREEMENT and CESSION, entered into on the twen- ty-fourth day of April, one thousand eight hundred and two between the commissioners appointed on the part of the United States, by virtue of an act entitled “An act for an amicable settlement of limits with the state of Georgia, and authorizing the establish- ment of a government in the Mississippi territory,” and of the act supplement- al to the last mentioned act, on the one part; and the commissioners ap- pointed on the part of the state of Georgia, by virtue of an act entitled, “An act to carry the twenty third section of the first article of the consti- tution into effect,” and of the act to amend the last mentioned act, on the other part.
ARTICLE I.
THE state of Georgia cedes to the United States all the right, title and claim which the said state has to the jurisdiction and soil of the lands situated within the boundaries of the United States south of the state of Tennessee, and west of a line beginning on the western bank of the Cha- tahochie river, where the same crosses the boundary line between the United States and Spain; running thence up the said river Chatahochie, and along the western bank thereof to the great bend thereof, next above the place where a certain creek or river called “Uchee” (being the first considerable stream on the western side) above the Cussetas and Cowetas towns, empties into the said Chatahochie river; thence in a direct line to Nickajack, on the Tennessee river; then crossing the said last mentioned river, and thence running up the said Tennessee river, and along the western bank thereof, to the southern boundary line of the state of Tennessee; upon the following express conditions, and subject thereto, that is to say :
First—That out of the first net pro- ceeds of the sales of the lands thus ceded, which net proceeds shall be estimated by deducting from the gross amount of sales the expences incurred in surveying, and incident to the sale, the United States shall pay, at their treasury, one million two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to the state of Georgia, as a consideration for the expences incurred by the said state in relation to the said territory; and that, for the better securing as prompt a pay- ment of the said sum as is practicable, a land office for the disposition of the vacant lands thus ceded, to which the Indian ti- tle has been, or may hereafter be extin- guished, shall be opened within a twelve month after the assent of the state of Geor- gia to this agreement, as hereafter stated, shall have been declared.
Secondly—That all persons who, on the twenty seventh day of October, one thou- sand seven hundred and ninety five, were actual settlers within the territory thus ceded, shall be confirmed in all the grants legally and fully executed prior to that day, by the former British government of West Florida, or by the government of Spain, and in the claims which may be derived from any actual survey or settle-
ment made under the act of the state of Georgia, entitled “An act for laying out a district of land situate on the river Mississippi, and within the bounds of this state, into a county, to be called Bour- bon,” passed the seventh day of Februa- ry, one thousand seven hundred and eighty five.
Thirdly. That all the lands ceded by this agreement to the United States, shall, after satisfying the above-mentioned pay- ment of one million two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to the state of Georgia, and the grants recognised by the preceding condition, be considered as a common fund for the use and benefit of the United States, Georgia included, and shall be faithfully disposed of for that purpose, and for no other use or purpose whatever: provided, however, that the United States, for the period and until the end of one year after the assent of Georgia to the boundary esta- blished by this agreement shall have been declared, may, in such manner as not to interfere with the above-mentioned pay- ment to the state of Georgia, nor with the grants herein before recognised, dispose of or appropriate a portion of the said lands, not exceeding five millions of acres, or the proceeds of the said five millions of acres, or of any part thereof, for the purpose of satisfying, quieting or compensating for any claims other than those herein before recognised, which may be made to the said lands, or to any part thereof. It being fully understood, that if an act of congress making such disposition or appropriation shall not be passed into a law within the above-mentioned period of one year, the United States shall not be at liberty there- after to cede any part of the said lands on account of claims which may be laid to the same, other than those recognised by the preceding condition, nor to compensate for the same; and in case of any such cession or compensation, the present cession of Georgia to the right of soil over the lands thus ceded or compensated for, shall be considered as null and void, and the lands thus ceded or compensated for, shall re- vert to the state of Georgia.
Fourthly. That the United States shall, at their own expense, extinguish for the use of Georgia, as early as the same can be peaceably obtained on reasonable terms, the Indian title to the county of Talassee, to the lands left out by the line drawn with the Creeks in the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety eight, which had been previously granted by the state of Georgia, both which tracts had formerly been yield- ed by the Indians; and to the lands with- in the forks of Oconee and Oakmulgee ri- vers: for which several objects the Presi- dent of the United States has directed that a treaty should be immediately held with the Creeks; and that the United States shall, in the same manner, also extinguish the Indian title to all the other lands with- in the state of Georgia.
Fifthly. That the territory thus ceded shall form a state, and be admitted as such into the Union, as soon as it shall contain sixty thousand free inhabitants, or at an earlier period if congress shall think it ex- pedient, on the same conditions and restric- tions, with the same privileges, and in the same manner as is provided in the ordi- nance of congress of the thirteenth day of July, one thousand seven hundred and eighty seven, for the government of the Western Territory of the United States; which ordinance shall, in all its parts, ex- tend to the territory contained in the pre- sent act of cession, that article only ex- cepted which forbids slavery.
ARTICLE II.
The United States accept the cession a- bovementioned, and on the conditions therein expressed; and they cede to the state of Georgia whatever claim, right, or title they may have to the jurisdiction or soil of any lands lying within the Uni- ted States, and out of the proper bound- aries of any other state, and situated south of the southern boundaries of the state of Tennessee, North-Carolina, and South Carolina and east of the boundary line herein above described, as the eastern boundary of the territory ceded by Geor- gia to the United States.
ARTICLE III.
The present act of cession and agree- ment shall be in full force as soon as the legislature of Georgia shall have given its assent to the boundaries of this cession: provided that the said assent shall be giv- en within six months after the date of these presents, and provided that congress shall not, during the same period of six months, repeal so much of any former law as au- thorises this agreement, and renders it bind- ing and conclusive on the United States:
but if either the assent of Georgia shall not be thus given, or if the law of the Unit- ed States shall be thus repealed within the said period of six months, then, and in ei- ther case, these presents shall become null and void.
IN FAITH WHEREOF the respec- tive commissioners have signed these presents, and affixed hereunto their seals. Done at the city of Washing- ton, in the district of Columbia, this twenty-fourth day of April, one thousand eight hundred and two.

VALUABLE MEDICINES.

HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES. FOUR YEARS
Have scarcely elapsed since the introduction of HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES into general use, yet in this short period upwards of
One Hundred and Twenty Thousand Persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation have received benefit from this extraordinary remedy, in various complaints arising from worms and from obstructions in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine, which is as innocent and mild as it is certain and efficacious in its operation, cannot injure the youngest infant, or the most delicate pregnant lady, should no worms exist in the body; but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels, removing whatever is foul or offensive within, particularly that slimy humor from whence worms and many fatal disorders proceed.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness; having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally 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 the fatal complaint. Particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the necessary treatment in such cases.
The celebrity acquired by the Worm Lozenges, particularly in the city of Baltimore, renders the further publication of certificates in their favor, an unnecessary expense.
Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Teres or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short, flat, white worm, and lastly, the Tania, or tape worm, so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and full of joints—It is most hurtful, and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted gums—Itching in the nose and about the seat—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—staring 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 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.
Hamilton's GRAND RESTORATIVE,
Is recommended as an invaluable medicine, for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures—juvenile indiscretions—residence in climates unfavourable to the constitution—the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the unskillful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females, at a certain period of life—bad lyings in, &c. &c.
An is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalled in the cure of Nervous disorders, Consumption, Lowness of spirits, Loss of appetite, Impurity of the blood, Hysterical affections, Inward weakness, Seminal weaknesses, Polar albus, (or white flux) Bartlessness.
The principal operations of this remedy is in the stomach, restoring the digestive powers, and leading from that organ new health and vigour into every part of the system; it enriches and purifies the blood without inflaming it; braces, without stimulating too violently the nervous system; strengthens the secretory vessels and the general habit; brings back to the muscular fibres to their natural and healthy tone; and restores that nutrition which immoderate evacuations have destroyed, and whose loss had thrown the whole frame into languor and debility.
The Restorative is absolutely above all recommendation in removing those weaknesses and infirmities with which many females are afflicted, the consequences of difficult and painful labours, or of injudicious treatment therein.
The most obstinate seminal gleet, and the most distressing cases of fluor albus in females, fall particularly under the province of this restorative—speedily yield to its benign operation, and are radically cured, by correcting and purifying the acrimonious humors, restoring a proper degree of tension to the relaxed fibres, and strengthening the weakened organs.
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.
DR. HAMILTON'S ESSENCE AND EXTRACT OF MUSTARD,
A safe and effectual remedy for rheumatism, gout, palsy, sprains and bruises, white swellings, old strains, and relaxations, numbness and weakness of the joints, stiffness of the neck, pains of the side, head ache, swelled faces, frozen limbs, and every similar complaint. It prevents chilblains, or chopped hands, and the ill effects of getting wet or damp in the feet.
The extract is celebrated for removing cold & windy complaints in the stomach and bowels flying pains, and other spasmodic affections.
The testimony of thousands, and daily experience, sufficiently prove the superiority of the above medicine over all others, in the cure of the maladies we have enumerated.
DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obsolete Coughs, Asthma, 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 affords immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable—the Elixir is perfectly agreeable and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.
DR. HAHN'S ANTI-BILLIOUS PILLS.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, so to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age.
They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent its morbid secretions—to restore and amend the appetite—to procure a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, which are often attended with fatal consequences—a dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance. 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.
THE SOVEREIGN OINTMENT for the ITCH,
Which is warranted an infallible remedy at one application, and may be used with perfect safety by pregnant women, or on infants a week old, not containing a particle of mercury, or any other dangerous ingredient whatever, and is not accompanied with that tormenting smart which attends the application of other remedies.
THE GENUINE PERSIAN LOTION,
So celebrated among the fashionable throughout Europe, is an invaluable cosmetic, perfectly innocent and safe, free from corrosive and repellant minerals (the basis of other lotions) and of unparalleled efficacy in preventing and removing blemishes in the face and skin of every kind, particularly freckles, pimples, inflammatory redness, scurf, tetter, ring worms, sun burns, prickly heat, premature wrinkles, &c. rendering the skin delicately soft and clear, improving the complexion, and restoring the bloom of youth.
THE DAMASK LIP SALVE.
The RESTORATIVE POWDER for the TEETH and GUMS.
DR. HAHN'S TRUE and GENUINE GERMANY CORN PLAISTER.
An infallible remedy for corns, speedily removing them, root and branch, without given pain.
DR. HAHN'S GENUINE EYE WATER.
A sovereign remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness or of accident, defluxions of rheum, dulness, itching and films on the eyes, never failing to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the small pox, measles and fevers, and wonderfully strengthening a weak sight. Hundreds have experienced its excellent virtues, when nearly deprived of sight.
TOOTH ACHE DROPS.
The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances.
THE ANODYNE ELIXIR,
For the cure of all kinds of Head-Ache. CHURCH'S COUGH DROPS. INFALLIBLE AGUE and FEVER DROPS.
VENEREAL DISEASE.
Those whom this may unfortunately concern, are informed that a supply has now been received of
THE PATENT INDIAN VEGETABLE SPECIFIC, Prepared by Dr. Leroux.
The experience of several thousands who have been cured by this medicine (a great proportion of them after the skill of eminent physicians had proved unsuccessful) demonstrate its efficacy in expelling the Venereal Poisons however deeply rooted in the constitution, and in counteracting those dreadful effects which often result from the improper use of mercury.
The mildness of the Vegetable Specific is equal to its surprising efficacy, its operation is so gentle that it is given to venereal patients in a state of pregnancy, with the utmost safety, and performs a cure without disturbing the system, or producing any of those disagreeable effects inseparable from the common remedies.
With the medicine is given a description of the symptoms which obtain in every stage of the disease, with copious directions for their treatment, so as to accomplish a perfect cure in the shortest time, and with the least inconvenience possible. ANDERSON'S PILLS. GOWLAND'S LOTION.
A liberal allowance made wholesale purchasers by application to Lee & Co. Baltimore. Country Printers and Storekeepers will find it advantageous to keep a constant supply of the above Medicines, and will be treated with on liberal terms. Lee & Co. will give the highest prices in cash for BLACK SNAKE ROOT, GINSENG and BEE'S WAX. November 16.
