February 14.
After the Senate had finished its deliberations upon the legislative business before it, Mr. R. rose and said:
That although he came from a part of the country where the late events upon the Mississippi had excited great alarm and solicitude; he had hitherto forbore the expression of his sentiments, or to bring forward any measure, relative to the unjustifiable, oppressive conduct of the officers of the Spanish government at New-Orleans. He had waited thus long in the hope that some person more likely than himself, to conciliate and unite the opinions of a majority of the senate, would have offered efficacious measures for their consideration. But seeing the session now drawing to a close, without any such proposition, he could not reconcile a longer silence, either to his own sense of propriety, or to the duty he owed to his constituents. He would not consent to go home without making one effort, however feeble or unsuccessful, to avert the calamity which threatened the Western Country. Present appearances he confessed, but little justified the hope, that any thing he might propose would be adopted; yet it would at least afford him some consolation hereafter, that he had done his duty when the storm was approaching, by warning those who had power in their hands of the means which ought to be employed to resist it.
He was fully aware that the executive of the United States had acted. That he had sent an Envoy Extraordinary to Europe. This was the peculiar province, and perhaps the duty of the president. He would not say that it was unwise in this state of our affairs to prepare for remonstrance and negotiations, much less was he then about to propose any measure that would thwart negotiation, or embarrass the President. On the other hand he was convinced that more than negotiation was absolutely necessary, that more power and more means ought to be given to the president, in order to render his negotiations efficacious. Could the president proceed further, even if he thought more vigorous measures proper and expedient? Was it in his power to repel and punish the indignity put upon the nation? Could he use the public force to redress our wrongs? Certainly not. This must be the act of Congress. They are now to judge of ulterior measures. They must give the power and vote the means to vindicate in a becoming manner the wounded honour and the best interests of the country.
Mr. R. said he held in his hands certain resolutions for that purpose, and before he offered them to the senate he would very fully explain his reasons for bringing them forward and pressing them with earnestness, as the best system the United States could now pursue.
It was certainly unnecessary to waste the time of that body in stating that we had a solemn explicit Treaty with Spain: that this Treaty had been wantonly and unprovokedly violated, not only in what related to the Mississippi, but by the most flagrant, destructive spoliations of our commerce on every part of the ocean, where Spanish armed vessels met the American flag. These spoliations were of immense magnitude, and demanded the most serious notice of our government. They had been followed by an indignity and a direct infraction of our treaty relative to the Mississippi which bore an aspect not to be dissembled or mitakeu.
To the free navigation of that river we had an undoubted right from nature, and from the position of our Western country. This right and the right of deposit in the island of New Orleans, had been solemnly acknowledged and fixed by treaty in 1795. That treaty had been in actual operation and execution for many years—and now without any pretence of abuse or violation on our part, the officers of the Spanish government, deny the right, refuse the place of deposit and add the most offensive of all insults, by forbidding us from landing on any part of their territory; and treating us out as a common nuisance.
By whom has this outrage been offered? By those who have constantly acknowledged our right & now tell us that they are no longer owners of the country! They have given it away, and because they have no longer right themselves, therefore they turn us out who have an undoubted right! Such an insult, such un-
provoked malignity of conduct, no nation but this would affect to mitake. And yet we not only hesitate as to the course which interest and honour call us to pursue, but we bear it with patience, tameness, and apparent unconcern.
Sir, said Mr. R. whom does this infraction of the treaty, and natural rights of this country most intimately affect? If the wound inflicted on national honour be not sensibly felt by the whole nation is there not a large portion of your citizens exposed to immediate ruin by a continuance of this state of things? The calamity lights upon all those who live upon the western waters. More than half a million of your citizens, are by this cut off from a market. What would be the language, what would be the feelings of gentlemen in this house, were such an indignity offered on the Atlantic coast?—What would they say if the Chesapeake, the Delaware, or the bay of New-York were shut up, and all egress prohibited by a foreign power? And yet none of these waters embrace the interests of so many as the Mississippi. The numbers and the property affected by shutting this river is greater than any thing that could follow by the blockade of a river on the Atlantic coast. Every part of the union was equally entitled to protection, and no good reason could be offered why one part should be less attended to than the other.
In the last year goods to more than the value of two millions of dollars had been carried into the western country. These goods were purchased on credit. The consumption of that merchandise afforded a revenue to our treasury of more than three hundred thousand dollars. The sale of western public lands was counted upon as producing half a million of dollars annually. Large arrearages of internal taxes were due from that country. The people had just emerged from an Indian war. They had overcome the most frightful obstructions which ever presented themselves in the settlement of a new country, and although yet in their infancy, we might promise ourselves an honorable and a vigorous manhood, if they were protected, as we had led them to expect—after a little while their strength and faculty of self preservation would be complete. Certainly they yet needed the kind fostering hand of their parent states. But if that be now withdrawn, where is the revenue on which you calculate? How can they pay for your lands? How can they discharge the arrearages of taxes? How can they pay your merchants in Baltimore, or Philadelphia? They cannot go to market, they have no resources but the produce of their farms. You suffer the Spaniards to look them up. You tell them that their crops may, nay must rot on their hands, and yet they must pay you their debts and taxes. Is this just? Will it be submitted to? These men bought your lands in confidence that the Spanish treaty would be maintained—all sales since the date of the treaty—now you suffer a wanton violation of it without making an effort to remove the obstruction, and yet tell them they must pay you! This can not be expected. It would not be the rule between honest individuals, for the seller of an estate suffering an eviction of the purchaser when he might and could prevent it, would not be permitted to recover the purchase money.
If it comports with your calculations of interest or convenience to submit tamely to this outrage, and to witness the ruin of one part of your country for the sake of peace in the residue, surely your ideas of justice will compel you to absolve the western people from all obligation to repay what it would ruin them to advance. Will you prosecute them in your courts? Will you sell their little all by your public officers? Will you not be content with the loss of all the lively hopes that they had entertained of gaining a new fortune and another name in the wild but auspicious new countries of the west? Is it not enough that their day is darkening and closing at noon? Surely it cannot be thought reasonable to exact an impossibility. It is undeniable that in their ruin many of your merchants on the Atlantic coast will be inevitably involved. Great as this evil may be (and certainly it is of immense magnitude) yet the loss of the affections of a whole people; the destruction of enterprise of hope, and of industry, throughout the western world is infinite-ly greater.
It may be said that this is our overcharged description of the evil side of our affairs without offering any remedy.
Mr. R. said, that was far from his in-
tention and he would now examine that subject because to his mind the remedy was obvious.
The experience of all time has proved that with nations, as well as individuals, submission to aggression and insult uniformly invites a repetition and aggravation of the insult. To repeat at the outlet it in re-easy, as well as more honorable for the injured party.
Fortunately for this country there could be no doubt in the present case—our national right had been acknowledged & solemnly secured by treaty. The treaty had been long in a state of execution. It was now violated and denied without provocation or apology. Treaty then was no security. This evident right was one, the security of which ought not to be precarious, it was indispensable that the enjoyment of it should be placed beyond all doubt. He declared it therefore to be his firm and mature opinion that so important a right would never be secure while the mouth of the Mississippi was exclusively in the hands of the Spaniards. Caprice and enmity occasion constant interruption. From the very position of our country, from its geographical shape, from motives of complete independence the command of the navigation of the river ought to be in our hands.
We are now wantonly provoked to take it. Hostility in its most offensive shape has been offered by those who disclaim all right to the soil and the sovereignty of that country—an hostility fatal to the happiness of the western world—why not seize then what is so essential to us as a nation? Why not expel the wrongdoers? Wrongdoers by their own confession, to whom by a seizure we are doing no injury. Paper contracts or treaties have proved too feeble, Plant yourselves on the river, fortify the banks, invite those who have an interest at stake to defend it—do justice to yourselves when your adversaries deny it—and leave the event to him who controls the fate of nations.
Why submit to a tandy uncertain negotiation, as the only means of regaining what you have lost—a negotiation with those who declare they have no right at the moment they strip you of yours; when in possession you will negotiate with more advantage. You will then be in a condition to keep others out. You will be in the actual exercise of jurisdiction over all your claims: Your people will have the benefits of a lawful commerce. When your determination is known, you will make an easy and honorable accommodation with any other claimant. The present possessors have no pretence to complain for they have no right to the country by their own confession. The western people will discover that you are making every effort they could desire for their protection. They will ardently support you in the contest, if a contest becomes necessary: their ALL will be at stake, and neither their zeal nor their courage need be doubted.
Look at the memorial from the legislature of the Mississippi Territory now on your table. That speaks a language and displays a spirit not to be mitakeu.—Their lives and fortunes are pledged to support you. The same may with equal truth be asserted of Kentucky, Tennessee and the western people of Virginia and Pennsylvania. Is this a spirit to be repressed or put asleep by negotiation? If you suffer it to be extinguished, can you recall it in the hour of distress when you want it? After negotiation shall have failed, after a powerful, ambitious nation shall have taken possession of the Key of our Western Country and fortified it: after the garrisons are filled by the veterans who have conquered the east, will you have it in your power to awake the generous spirit of that country and dispossess them? No—Their confidence in such rulers will be gone. They will be disheartened, divided and will place no further dependence upon you. They must abandon those who lost the precious moment of seizing and forever securing their sole hope of subsistence and prosperity; they must then from necessity make the best bargain they can with the conqueror.
It may be added that the possession of the country on the east bank of the Mississippi, will give compactness, and irresistible strength to the United States, and in all future European wars we shall be more dreaded and of course be more courted and respected than we can ever hope to be without it—on that score therefore our security will be increased by this measure.
Suppose that this course be not now
pursued. Let me warn gentlemen how they rise with the feelings, the hopes and the fears of such a body of men as inhabit the western waters. Let every honorable man put the question to himself how would half a million round him be affected by such a calamity, and no prompt measures taken by the government to redress it—these men have arms in their hands; the same arms with which they proved victorious over their savage neighbours—They have a daring spirit: They have ample means of subsistence; and they have men disposed to lead them on to revenge their wrongs. Are you certain that they will wait to the end of negotiation? When they hear that nothing has been done for their immediate relief, they will probably take their resolution and act. Indeed from all we have heard there is great reason to believe that they will, or that they may have already taken that resolution.
They know the nature of the obstruction—They know the weakness of the country. They are sure of present success—and they have a bold river to bear them forward to the place of action. They only want a leader to conduct them, and it would be strange, if with such means and such spirit a leader should not soon present himself.
Suppose they do go, and do chase away the present oppressors, and that in the end they are overpowered and defeated by a stronger foe than the present feeble possessors. They will never return to you, for you cannot protect them. They will make the best compromise they can with the power commanding the mouth of the river, who in effect has thereby the command of their fortunes. Will such a bargain be of light or trivial moment to the Atlantic states. Bonaparte will then say to you, my French West-India colonies and those of my allies, can be supplied from my colony of Louisiana, with flour, pork, beef, lumber, and every necessary. These articles can be carried by my own ships, navigated by my own sailors. If you on the Atlantic coast wish to trade with my colonies in those articles, you must pay fifteen or twenty per cent. of an import. We want no farther supplies from you, and revenue to France must be the condition of all future intercourse. What will you say to this? It will be in vain to address your Western brethren, and complain your commerce is ruined, your revenue dwindles, and your condition is desperate. They will reply that you came not to their assistance in the only moment you could have saved them—that you balanced between national honor and sordid interest, & suffered them to be borne down and subdued at a time when for a trifle you could have secured the Mississippi; that now their interest must be consulted, and it forbade any assistance to you, when following in the same train of ruin which had overwhelmed them. If the evil does not immediately proceed the full length of absolute disunion, yet the strength, the unity of exertion, the union of interest will be gone. We are no longer one people, and representatives from that part of the country, in our public councils, will partake of the spirit and breathe the sentiments of a distinct nation; they will rob you of your public lands; they will not submit to taxes; they will form a girdle round the southern states which may be denominated a foreign yoke, and render the security of that country very precarious as to its peace and present connexions. Indeed every aspect of such a state of things is gloomy and alarming to men who take the trouble of reflecting upon it.
But sir said Mr. R. I have heard it suggested that another mode has been contemplated for getting rid of this crisis in our affairs. If we remain perfectly quiet and passive, shew no symptoms of uneasiness or discontent; if we give no offence to the new and probable masters of the Mississippi; may be they will sell!! To me it is utterly incredible, that such an effect would flow from such a conduct. They might possibly sell if they found us armed, in possession, and resolved to maintain it. They would see that even conquest would be a hard bargain, of so distant a country: our possession would be evidences of a fixed resolution. But when we have no army, no military preparation, no semblance of resistance, what would induce them to sell? Sell, sir! for how much? Why sir, altho' there is no information before this house, of any terms, yet I have seen it stated in the newspapers, that those who now pretend to claim that country may be persuaded to

Extract of a letter from Halifax, Nova Scotia, to the Editors of the Palladium, dated Jan. 28.
A gentleman has assured me he has an intercepted letter from Mr. Munroe, (while in Paris) to Mr. Randolph, with some information respecting the Louisiana business, not very honorable to the former person. He intends to have it published.
Extract of a letter from a Merchant and Manufacturer in Edinburgh, to a Merchant in New-York, dated November 30.
I am sorry to hear such universal complaints from London, Liverpool and Glasgow, of the bad payments from America. You should really manufacture a few articles, to enable you to pay for those you import. Linen, cotton, silk, woollen and hemp manufactures, or the mixture of them, you will find it a folly to attempt. Do not imagine I am selfish and with the manufacture of these articles confined to Britain. No, I despise it. — For in silk goods the French excel; in linen the Germans, in cotton we carry all before us, as well as in woolen. Nine tenths of the manufacture is done by machinery. You have not capital to erect them. Nay it would be the interest of Britain, if you manufactured part, for if you made your shoes and hats, you would buy more coats, vests, shirts and stockings, and pay better for them. Land is plenty; the productions of America will soon be more than you can sell with profit in Europe. You will soon have no market for your grain here. You should make all your own spirits, porter and ale. You should raise more cotton, plant hemp, and breed silk worms to make silk; encourage and refine your maple sugar. — Your settlement at the Natchez, on the Mississippi, will produce coffee, &c. Our manufactures are all busy — Never were they so throng as they have been since the peace. Sheeps wool never was at the present price in Britain. The cotton manufacturer gives the highest wages, so that weavers are not to be got to weave silks, woollens or linens, especially the coarser sort of those articles. Our manufacturers will drain all Europe of the species we so lavishly scattered last war. We do not value commerce in proportion as we do manufactures. Manufactures will make commerce, but commerce will never establish manufactures. During the last and preceding wars, the Danes and Swedes protected and carried commerce to a great height; yet they are poor countries, having no manufactures worth mentioning. This country never was so flourishing as it is just now.
[CIRCULAR.]
American Consulate, London, Oct. 24, 1802.
SIR,
The awards of the Commissioners acting under the 7th article of our treaty with this country, will be made payable to me, as agent of the United States, in trust for the several persons interested therein, except in cases where appeals have been entered in the courts and memorials filed at the board, by the particular agents of the claimants not being agents of the United States; it is necessary therefore that I should have powers of attorney to assign over, in conformity to the provisions of the Treaty, all the demands upon the captors in cases where decrees have been had against them, and where it is possible that awards may be given by the board; the powers formerly granted to my predecessor not having been transferred over to me. I request you to forward, by the earliest conveyances, original and duplicate power of attorney, which, besides the usual clauses authorizing me to receive of and from the captors, as well as from the British government, all such sum or sums of money as may be decreed or awarded to you, should contain the following:
 " All full power and authority to assign in my name all my right, title, interest and claim in and upon said vessel and cargo; specie, freight, adventure, and all demands that I have upon the captors, whether by sentence of restitution or otherwise, or upon any other person and persons, for or by reason of said capture, or in virtue of such sentence unto such person and persons, as the commissioners acting under the 7th article of the treaty of amity and commerce between the United States of America and the King of Great Britain may direct or order." 
It is proper for me on this occasion to observe to you, that by the instructions given to the public agent, all monies received by him are to be paid, for their security, into the Bank of England, and he is to give immediate notice, when the money is so received, to the persons interested therein, that they may draw bills upon him payable at sight. Upon this translation he is not entitled to charge any commission, nor upon any business relating to the claims, unless authorized so to do by the claimants. After this explanation, you will determine whether or not to leave in force those powers which you may have heretofore forwarded to any person in this city, and which, if not revoked, may entitle them to receive from me and charge commission on such sums as I may receive from the British government, or otherwise on your account. I am Sir, your obedient servant, (Signed) GEO. W. ERVING. Agent of the U. States.

NEW-YORK, Feb. 23. Captain Robinson, of the brig Ann, who arrived here yesterday from the Streights, last from Gibraltar, informs us that he saw a letter from Mr. Eaton, the American Consul at Tunis, to Mr. Gavino, the American Consul at Gibraltar, stating, that there were eleven Tripolitan corsairs cruising in the Streights. Of this we shall probably be more particularly advised in a few days, as capt. Robinson has brought our despatches for Government. Our informant adds, that Prince Edward's Regiment of Royal Fusiliers being displeased with the unusual rigour of their treatment, had formed a determination to mutiny; and had so far succeeded in carrying their plan effectually into execution, as to influence one or two other regiments to join them. It however fortunately happened, that on the 24th of December (earlier than the time agreed upon to disclose their mutinous dispositions) some of the leaders, becoming intoxicated, commenced the mutiny and applied to the 54th regiment to assist them. The Colonel of the regiment, having been apprized of their intentions, harangued his soldiers; the effect was, that the mutineers, when they came up, were opposed by the 54th, who actually fired on them. Several exchanges of musketry took place, and five or six killed on each side, before the Royals were repulsed. On the 26th of December, only two days after, the inconsistent soldiery of the two regiments who had agreed to a mutiny, repenting of their conduct, declared themselves in favor of Prince Edward, and expressed their willingness to support him on all occasions.
Capt. Hamner, from Martinique, informs us, that just before he failed, twenty-four days since, the government of that place had put in force another oppressive regulation on American commerce, viz: That they obliged our citizens to pay one dollar on every barrel of provisions landed, and on other articles in proportion. And on every dollar in specie brought from that island, they exacted nine per cent. How long will our government thus suffer their commerce to be shackled?
Arrived, the brig Ann, Capt. Robinson, from Sicily, Leghorn, Toulon, Malaga, and 53 days from Gibraltar. Capt. Robinson has politely favored us with the following extract from his journal:
"Sailed from Gibraltar the 29th of December, in Company with the U. S. ship Constellation. On the 20th it blew a hurricane, from the Eastward; there had not been so severe a gale remembered for a number of years; a British sloop of war and several other vessels drove from their anchors, and with great difficulty weathered Cabateta Point; several drove on shore, the brig Amphitrite, Sherman, of Philadelphia, went on shore at Algeziras, but was hove off after taking out her cargo, had got over to Gibraltar, and was preparing to heave down. On the 28th passed the rock the brig Pallas, Hazard, 37 days from Stonington, bound to Alicante. 29th in going out of Gibraltar bay, spoke the brig Mercury, of Beverly, returning, had drove out in the late gale with loss of both anchors and cables. 31st ten leagues west of Cape Spartel, spoke the brig Eliza, Griffith, of Philadelphia for Leghorn. February 4th, in lat. 25, 50, long. 60 spoke the ship Commerce, David Cogshall, master, from Gottenburgh for New-York, out 69 days; in a gale had lost both boats, quarterboards on one side, and head rails."

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 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 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 soreness and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir, as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN.
Mr. Abijah Henly, 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 scarcely fail in such a degree that he could only attempt to whisper, he has been upwards of six weeks without a return of his complaints, and desires to give this public testimony in favour of this invaluable medicine.
Dr. Hamilton's
GRAND RESTORATIVE,
Is recommended as an invaluable medicine, for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures—juvenile indiscretions—residence in climates unfavourable to the constitution—the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the unskillful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females, at a certain period of life—bad lyings in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of    Nervous disorders,  Violent cramps in the stomach and back,    Consumptions,  Indigestion,    Lowness of spirits,  Meancholy,    Loss of appetite,  Gout in the stomach,    Impurity of the blood,  Pains in the limbs,    Hysterical affections,  Relaxations,    Inward weakness,  Involuntary emissions,    Seminal weakness,  Obstinate glects,    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 MUSFARD,
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 Musfard, 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 going 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 possible remedy attempted: when seeing several cases of cures performed by Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Musfard, 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 former state of health and strength.

HAMILTON'S
WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES
Which have within four years put an end 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 of bowels in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever of similar title, is commonly complained of as operating with violence; on the contrary, a particular excellence of this remedy is its being suited to every age and condition; it contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is so mild in its operation that it cannot injure the most delicate lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old, though no worms exist in the body; but will, with the pain or griping, expel the worms and bowels of which it is a sovereign remedy, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. They are particularly effectual in carrying off all gross humours and vapours; scurvy and bilious complaints, and are the safest and most effectual 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 Tereis or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short, flat, white worm, and lastly, the Taenia, or tape worm, so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and is full of joints—it is most hurtful, and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted gums—itching in the nose and about the seat—Convulsive and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Starting and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purgive, 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.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally during the warm season, will effectually prevent the vomiting and purging of children, a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands of the infant part of our cities. It is likewise the mildest and most certain remedy known and has restored to health and strength a great number when in an advanced stage of this fatal complaint. Particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the necessary treatment in such cases.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness; having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
CASES OF CURES.
(Selected from thousands) the authenticity of which any person may ascertain, either by letter or personal application.
TAPE WORM.
Mr. SAMUEL FULLER, Inn-keeper, on the Hartford 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 was 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 York town.
York, January 4th, 1802.
Dear Sir,
Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recommended to me as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms, I procured a box for the use of my family, to try, whether by means of this medicine, I might be enabled to gain a point, which, to accomplish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very restless at night, grew leaner from time to time; in short, he seemed to be in a precarious state of health, which would yield to none of the medicines administered, until I gave him two doses of lozenges, agreeably to the directions which carried off a substance to a appearance a mercurial but upon close inspection quit repealed
with very small living animals. Not one of that sort of worms which usually infest 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 medicine, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on bellyache, or any of those disagreeable sensations, so often occasioned by purging medicines. Up on the whole, I judge this medicine to be, besides its main object, one of the most salutary means for restoring the appetite, and promoting a proper state of digestion, by carrying off that bad and sub-stances, which engenders so much indisposition both among children and adults.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, JOHN MOLTHER.
