POLITICAL EXAMINER.
"Earth shakes beneath them and heaven roars above, But nothing scares them from the course they love."
Cowper.
THE astonishing progress which the practice of duelling has made in many parts of the world, renders it a subject of contemplation awful and important. Its prevalence cannot be checked with too much vigor, nor its consequences exposed too often, or in colors too impressive. Powerfully feeling the magnitude of the subject, I am unwilling to relinquish it, without some further observations. Though few will be unwilling to acknowledge that he who challenges another into the field and kills his adversary commits the crime of murder, yet circumstances and arguments of alleviation and even of justification, have been urged in favor of the person challenged. The following observations are generally applicable to both the parties, but still it will be proper to take a more intimate view of what is considered the favored side.
In the first place the person challenged has been justified on the principles of the natural right of self defence? Is it a right to go into the field and meet an antagonist with the deliberate and express design either to slay or be slain? It cannot be so definitive and extensive. This same honor that compels one man to accept, will also compel another, either for real or imaginary injury, to give a challenge. I have only then to offer a trivial insult to the man whom I would destroy. He is a man of honor and the stain must be washed away by blood. As a gentleman he must challenge, as a gentleman I must accept; we must meet, one or both must fall. Where is the difference in our criminality? Can the eye of dispassionate reason discover any thing favorable on my side? If my adversary falls, am I who offered the first injury, innocent of his blood? And if I fall, is he who is compelled by the inconsistent law of honor to give the challenge guilty of murder? The absurdity of the proposition is apparent. Self-defence can be applicable, as an excuse for homicide, in no case, but when we are attacked, without our co-operation, and no other resource, no retreat, no refuge is left for our safety but the death of the assailant.
It has also been urged, that "the acceptance of the challenge, and thus giving an enemy an opportunity to obtain revenge, is no more than the politeness of a generous and heroic disposition." But it is this very politeness that we contend is criminal. It is a politeness which originates in that false honor which we condemn. It is a generosity, a heroism, destructive of every moral principle, and therefore cannot be a justification of the vices it produces. Besides, he who instigates, tempts or even permits, when he can prevent the commission of a crime, is himself guilty. The active perpetrators are the instruments of sin in his hands. He is, at least an accessory to the crime committed, and at the bar of conscience, if not of law, he is principal. The persons challenged can prevent the effusion of blood; they are even present, aiding and assisting in the execution of the crime. Can they be innocent? No, they are doubly guilty. If death does not ensue, their heart is murderous; they have assumed the disposition of the tempter; they practise the evils of satan, and join in a league to mar the innocence and repose of mankind. If blood is shed in consequence of their acceptance, the additional crime of actual murder presses and stains their consciences. This plea cannot therefore avail.
"It is just, between the parties, because each has an equal chance of prevailing in the combat." Granting the equality, the issue will not decide the justice of the cause. The first offender and the person injured are alike liable to fall, and the death of either will be no compensation for the injury, or proof of the innocence of the survivor. Further, we may reply that we have already shown that man has no right to sport away his existence for the gratification of revengeful passions. On the contrary it is his sacred duty to use his endeavors to preserve, not only his own life and innocence, but also the lives and innocence of his fellow men. The man who depends for protection, on the innocence and integrity of his heart, must fall before the wretch who is killed in slaughter. The chance, therefore, is wholly in favor of the experienced and accomplished villain.
"The depravity of the human heart renders it difficult to resist the influence of the customs of the great and the impulse of anger and revenge." A custom that originates in depravity cannot be followed with innocence. What! can a crime be excused
by the very circumstances which constitute its enormity? Will that depravity of heart, that malignity of passion, which is the constituent principle, the very essence of criminality, excuse its own demerit? Can Lucifer justify his disobedience and revolt by the pride, presumption, and audacity of soul that impelled him to the act? It is a new method of reasoning; it is a logic worthy of its votaries, to justify a crime by its own intrinsic guilt!
This practice has also been justified by its expediency. It has been said, that, although its prevalence is to be deprecated as a lamentable evil, yet since the custom is so firmly established, he who will not conform is stigmatized as a dastard; he loses his usefulness, and his power either of "promoting good or repelling mischief," immediately vanishes. Inexplicable infatuation! Its guilt to be justified by its own prevalence? Is it expedient to pursue and encourage a vicious practice, because it is fashionable? If custom could excuse guilt, Sodom might have remained to this day, to tincture or inundate the world with its pollutions. If example could justify crimes, the whole herd of offenders might find shelter from the wrath of justice, under the wing of the arch apostate satan. Those moralists who argue that expediency is the rule of right, do not mean that short sighted expediency which views only the present moment and a single action. It is that general expediency which is not confined to the narrow circle of a particular time or space, but takes an extensive and governing view of the whole mass of mankind through all ages of the world. If the general indulgence of the act is expedient, the resulting moral rule totally forbids it, and condemns, as criminal, each particular transgression. On this ground, duelling is forbidden; and it is therefore every man's indispensable duty to decline the challenge. It is a fallacious argument to say, his character will suffer in the eyes of many, and thus much of the utility of his influence be lost by a refusal. The reverse is true; for an influence which leads to vice cannot be useful. Suppose he falls in the contest, where then is his usefulness? It is lost—but the awful and corrupting example remains. And if he survive, it would redound more to his honor, more to his usefulness, more to the innocent satisfaction of his heart, to be an example of forbearance, to oppose, with the powerful weight of his character, the folly and absurdity of a criminal custom than to swell the torrent of acknowledged turpitude. The fallacy of the duelists is obvious. It is not reason that blinds, nor can reason open their eyes. Something more energetic is required to remove the fascination. It requires a more powerful antidote to check the circulating and corrosive poison.
Would to heaven, that the powers of eloquence were mine to reach the heart and melt its obduracy. But alas! my abilities are not equal to my zeal. Let imagination in part supply the deficiency. Let her vivid pencil paint to our view our country assembled around us. In the front rank are placed the surviving duelists; those ferocious monsters whose hearts have danced to the funeral dirge of departed greatness, to the widow's sighs and orphan's lamentations. Proud men! behold before you the sable weeds implanted by your daggers, watered and steeped by the tears of bitterness and of anguish, wrung by your cruelties from the heart of sensibility. See the mourning widow, surrounded by her tearful offspring, bending in distracted agony, over the remains of their departed protector—over those crumbling bodies whose spirits have been ushered into eternity by the leaden messengers of your vengeance. In solemn silence, the angel of indignant justice advances: in his left hand is the open volume inspired by your Lord and judge: in his right a flaming sword points at the words, and bids you read: "Avenge not yourselves—Vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord!" Do your hearts sicken at the sight? Do the blushes of conscious guilt blister your cheeks, and confusion chain your tongues? Can each of you place your hand on your heart, and, with a smile of serenity, exclaim, in the presence of your country, your conscience and your God, "I am innocent?" Alas! Why shrinks your spirit from the piercing view? Where now has fled that courage that could dare Omnipotence! It is lost in consternation and dismay! HORTENSIUS.

By the arrival of the ship Hamilton, captain Porter, in 32 days from Amsterdam, we have been favored with the Amsterdam Courant, to the 18th ult. from which we select the following articles:
(TRANSLATION.)
HAGUE, April 16.
This day commenced the session of the legislative body for the present year, which was opened in the usual manner.
On the latter part of last week, the former Governor of the Island of Curacoa, L. Lauser, who gave up that colony, last war, to the English, was brought here under arrest, with some of his principal officers.
We understand here M. Schirmeisen, ninck is expected here the first day of May, to commence his duties in this residency.
PARIS, April 6.
We learn by letters from Madrid, that his Catholic Majesty has not only abandoned his right in prizes which may be taken from the English, but decreed that the captors shall have the privilege of disposing of captured property without paying any duty to the crown. So that the whole amount captured will go to the captors.
The Captain General of Catalonia and the Prince of Peace have informed his majesty, that the commandants of the city of St. Felin de Quixols, had offered to every family that would furnish a seaman for his majesty's squadron, three reals a day, during the present war. His majesty expressed the utmost satisfaction at the generous offer, and sanctioned the engagement.
Day before yesterday his imperial majesty (Bonaparte) left this city, with his suite. We hear that he has given to the Pope, a very expensive mitre, and to every Cardinal that accompanied the Pope, a box, with his picture set in diamonds.
April 10. —We have now ascertained the truth respecting the fleet having sailed from Brest, by an account from that port, dated March 31, containing the following statement:
Admiral Gantheaume, wishing to make some experiments with his squadron, for the purpose of exercising his seamen in certain manœuvres, put to sea; on discovering his movements, the English squadron took their leave, though their force consisted of 18 ships, among which were 8 three deckers. Admiral Gantheaume pursued them in line of battle, but finding that they had quit the coast, probably with a view to obtain a reinforcement, returned into Brest harbour. During three days, which the squadron employed in manœuvring, no accident happened to the fleet, and every movement was executed with the greatest exactness. Admiral Gantheaume has expressed the highest satisfaction at the good order, skill and harmony of his officers and seamen.
* Gantheaume's force consisted of 21 sail of the line, 6 frigates, and 1 brig.
April 13. —Information arrived two days since, that the Toulon fleet had again put to sea.
NEW YORK, May 28.
Captain Lilly, from Jamaica, informs us, that the whole coast round the leeward islands, swarm with French privateers, fitted out at Cuba. Without commissions, and manned with desperadoes, from every quarter of the globe, they indiscriminately capture every vessel which affords them the least probability of plunder. The governor of Cuba winks at these outrages, and permits them to persevere in their piratical conduct, without the smallest molestation. Captain L. on his outward bound passage, was boarded by one of these pirates, but he being loaded with lumber, they contented themselves with carrying off all his sea-stores, with what other valuables they could lay their hands on.
PHILADELPHIA, May 29.
TOULON FLEET OUT!
The following, which is an extract of a letter to the Editor, written by a respectable gentleman of this city, now at Portsmouth, leaves no doubt of the French Toulon fleet being at sea; and must consequently excite much curiosity to ascertain their ultimate destination:
"Portsmouth, (N. H.) May 23.
"The ship Hampden and Sidney, captain Trefethen, arrived here last evening from Marseilles. On the 8th of April, off Gibraltar they fell in with the Toulon fleet, of 11 ships of the line, 5 frigates and 2 brigs, and continued with them till the 9th, when they parted, the fleet steering West. They were boarded by a frigate from the fleet who informed they had on board 7000 troops. A frigate came out of Gibraltar and dogged the French fleet. The Adm.

of the fleet was Villeneuve, and it was said that Nelson was off Genoa!

SATURDAY, JUNE 1.
The ports in Jamaica are open.
A letter was received in New York the 9th inst. containing the following postscript. FALMOUTH, (Jamaica) May 5.
We are now to advise you, that accounts are actually received of the ports of this island being farther continued open for six months.
This news is confirmed by arrivals at Baltimore from Jamaica.
A letter from a gentleman in London, under date of the 9th April, to his friend in Philadelphia, mentions, that American premiums had risen in consequence of the capture of American vessels by the Spaniards.
By the Eliza , arrived at Salem from Muscat, information has been received that the Persian Gulph has lately been very much infested by the piratical cruisers of one of the petty princes of the eastern coast of the Gulph; they had, at different periods, captured two vessels bound to Bassora, carrying the overland despatches of the English East India Company; the major part of whose crews they had either enslaved or murdered.
There were some whispers of an expectation of peace in the course of the summer: but the Dutch had 150 transports ready for sea, which it is supposed would soon be employed on some secret expedition; and the British it was said, were collecting a fleet of transports, &c. at Yarmouth.
(Boston Centinel.)
The pilot who conducted the Rochfort squadron from the city of Santo Domingo proceeded with it as far as latitude 25, longitude 63, and was then put on board the American schooner ____ , captain Forsyth, of Norfolk bound to St. Martins, and landed at St. Bartholomew's, where, captain Waterman (who arrived here yesterday from that port) saw and conversed with him.
He gave it as his opinion that the squadron was on its way to Europe.
(N. T. Mer. Adv.)
There appears good reason to believe that the removal and disgrace of Lord Melville, considering the intimate connection subsisting between him and the ministerial party, may be productive of important changes in the British cabinet. A fine opportunity now presents itself to the Opposition to expose whatever has been reprehensible in the conduct of the ministry; and, considering the temper and the talents of Fox and his colleagues, there is little doubt that this will be done to purpose. Who knows but this event may operate eventually to the restoration of peace in Europe, by producing a change of men and consequently of measures in the British government.
(N. T. D. Adv.)
A gentleman, who came passenger in the Mentor , arrived at the Lazaretto, from St. Thomas informs, that the French fleet of 21 sail of the line had gone against Jamaica. He further states, that a British express brig had arrived at Barbadoes, in a very short passage from England, with intelligence that THE BRITISH FLEET WAS

Mr. Jefferson's National Intelligence remarks with great gravity "that circumstances have recently arisen which render it an enquiry of great importance, in what true republicanism consists. It is essentially necessary to determine the point before we can decide who are genuine republicans."
True, Mr. Smith; and when you have made the discovery be kind enough to let us know. Not long since, it was the easiest thing in the world to say in what true republicanism consisted and who were the genuine republicans. Attachment to Mr. Duane, Mr. McKean, Mr. Jefferson, Mr. Callender, Mr. Gallatin, &c. &c. was proof enough of genuine republicanism; but alas, these proofs now fail and we are glad to find that Mr. Jefferson has set his editor about devising some other criterion.

Extract of a letter from an officer on board the Revenue Cutter dated Balize, April 18, 1805, received at Philadelphia.
"Shortly after we sailed down to the Balize, and lay there for some time—the 16th inst. news came to us by the pilots, that there were two Providence privateers off the mouth of the river, boarding and plundering all vessels that went out or came in; and had actually taken possession of the schooner Felicity , from Campeachy bound to New Orleans, American property, within two miles of the land. At 2, P. M. the captain went ashore at the Block House, and got 11 volunteers, which made our complement of men twenty-nine, as we had but eighteen souls on board, and the privateers were full of men, and eight 12 pounders. At half past 2 we got under way, every man to his quarters, and cleared the decks for action. At 2, P. M. got within shot, and fired a signal gun at the Felicity , which she paid no attention to. At half past three, fired two more guns, which she did not mind. The privateer close alongside of her, and not willing to give her up, we rounded to and gave the privateer a broadside, which she returned. The other coming up, they kept up a heavy firing, which we did also for one hour, when they sheered off, and abandoned the Felicity , which we immediately took possession of, and brought her close under the land, where the action commenced, and came to anchor. We were obliged to lay by our quarters all night. We had no damage done to the cutter; not one shot struck us. But I believe one of the privateers sustained a good deal of damage. The Felicity was close by the scene all the time, and observed our shot fall on board of them."
"The supercargo of the Felicity , bro't on board the cutter 12,000 dollars to be secure, and there was about 17,000 dollars more in the hold, which he could not get at. The vessel and cargo are worth about 35,000 dollars, which I expect we shall have a salvage on for re-capturing her."
Address to the Members of the three monthly meetings of the Friends in the city of Philadelphia.
Our minds have been sorrowfully affected under the consideration of the many failures and bankruptcies which of latter times have taken place among us, to the wounding of the testimony of truth, the reproach of our Christian profession, and the ruin and distress of individuals and families. Of the causes which have led thereto we do very fully disapprove, and declare our disunity with; and as we seriously wish that more instances of this kind may be avoided, we think it right to warn and caution all against improperly grasping after the things of this world, and engaging in hazardous undertakings out of the counsel and wisdom of truth, whereby they may be rendered incapable of being punctual to their promises, and just in the payment of their debts.
Repeated and salutary advices have been given, both publicly and private, which if attended to, would have preserved many who have fallen into great straits and difficulties.
Many causes which might be enumerated have contributed to produce these sorrowful effects; but there is one that has particularly engaged our attention, to wit, The practice of giving and taking promissory notes, called accommodation paper, and endorsing them one for another, and thus improperly becoming sureties, sometimes even to a greater amount than such parties are capable of paying. How much better would it be, to be contented with such trade and business as are within the reach of our capitals; and never to enter into any engagements or promises without providing funds of our own to comply with them punctually?
We are also engaged to caution every individual against imprudently entering into
joint securities with others; for by these practices, many innocent wives and children have been inevitably and unexpectedly involved in ruinous and deplorable circumstances. We, therefore, earnestly desire Friends to keep strictly on their guard, that none through any specious pretences of rendering acts of friendship to others with safety to themselves, may risk their own peace and reputation, and the security of their families; in order hereunto, we recommended the salutary advice of the wise man to their special notice and regard. —"Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts; If thou hast nothing to pay, why shouldst thou take away thy bed from under thee?"
Finally, dear Friends, we recommend all to attend carefully to the principle of grace and truth in their own minds, which is sufficient to preserve and keep us from falling; and leads to do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly.
Signed, by appointment, on behalf of the said meetings, respectively held the 26th, 27th, and 29th of the third month, 1805.

JUST RECEIVED, BY  ROBERT GRAY, And for Sale at his Book Store,  For Jaundice & Bilious Complaints,  WHEATON'S  GENUINE PATENT BITTERS, Price only 58 cents, Secured to him by Letters Patent from the President of the United States.
A MEDICINE extremely useful and efficacious for curing jaundice and bilious disorders and removing that sinking, faint and distressed feeling at the stomach, difficulty of breathing, loss of appetite, and sleepy, dull heaviness in the forepart of the day, weakness and trembling of the limbs, dizziness of the head, and yellowness of countenance, complaints common to jaundice and bilious people. Also removing obstructions of the bowels, and of cholic, cholicky complaints, pukings, and purgings, indigestion, sick head ache, rheumatic complaints, &c. which live from a collection of four, bilious matter in the stomach, and at length restoring the constitution to strength and vigor. They are also found very useful to carry off worms, and to cure rickety children, and may be used with safety in all constitutions, ages and sexes. The many cures that have been effected in New England, by the above medicine (as may be seen in the bills) prevent the necessity of further recommendation.  LIKE WISE,
Wheaton's patent Itch Ointment, Price only 50 cents. The only medicine in the world which will certainly cure the ITCH, without having in it any thing either dangerous or disagreeable; it being composed mostly of ingredients never before discovered or used in that disorder. One box cures a person, and there need be no washing after the use of it, as the skin is generally left cleaner and smoother.

REANIMATION. WHEN the most important functions of life are suspended, and those who are invalids by imprudence, inheritance, accident of disease, are tottering upon the brink of the grave, it is not in despair that relief is to be found: There is a medicine which has restored thousands from infirmity and misery to health and happiness, which is
THE AROMATIC LOZENGES OF STEEL. Since this excellent medicine was first discovered by Dr. Bardwell, several thousand females have experienced its salutary effects; many of whom had been reduced to the brink of the grave having used every remedy recommended as specific in those complaints, and had made every application to the faculty that could be obtained. The following recent case is selected from a numerous list.  From Mrs. Eleanor Wadsworth, Providence, (R. I.)
Sir, WE received yours and with much pleasure comply with your request, as my daughter has certainly received very great benefit from Dr. Bardwell's Aromatic Lozenges of Steel. In the winter of 1802 my daughter, who is her 17th year caught a very severe cold, which with the violent fever which accompanied it, confined her to her room upwards of four months; during this period we paid for Doctors bills and consultations 150 dollars. The fever left her in the most deplorable, and debilitated state with hardly any use of her limbs, so that we were obliged to carry her from the bed to the chair. Being strongly persuaded by the Doctor we went to Ball's Town Springs and stayed the season, and thought she gained considerable strength by the use of the waters; but by the fatigue of the passage (having very rough weather) she became as weak and her cough much worse than before. During the last winter her whole nervous system has been so irritable, and her spirits so low and depressed, that death to her was desirable. In the latter end of January we saw an Advertisement recommending the Lozenges of Steel for similar complaints, we immediately purchased a packet of them, and before the whole of them were taken, they evidently produced a change in her system, though no medicine before had been able to effect; we sent for two more packets. It is now fourteen days since she began to mend; she has laid aside her crutches, has been twice to horse back, and if the weather should prove favorable we intend coming to Peeks-kill early in April to stop until we go to Ball's Town Springs; from there we will send you our address, where with pleasure we will satisfy any enquiries.
Price one Dollar per Packet. Particular directions for their use are sealed up with each but as the great benefit to be derived from them can only be secured by having them genuine, the public are requested to observe that the name of Thomas Stokes & Co. are affixed to each packet, without which mark of authenticity they are not genuine.  The Lozenges of Steel, are only to be had, in Alexandria, of Messrs.  R. & J. GRAY,  WHO HAVE ALSO ON HAND, A SUPPLY OF  Family & Patent Medicines, -CONSISTING OF-
Chambaud's Antasthmatic Lozenges; Ague and Fever Drops; Antibilious Pills; Anodyne Essence for Head Aches; Reanimating Solar Tincture; Dr. Bardwell's genuine Eye Water; Atkinson's Essence of Mustard; Scotch Ointment for the Itch; Tooth Ach Drops; Aromatic Lozenges; Essence of the Woods, &c. &c.
Dr. Hunter's genuine Antibilious Pills, For the prevention and cure of Yellow, Bilious and Putrid Fevers. Every experienced physician knows that dangerous disorders arise from a redundancy while in the habit; however salutary a due secretion of this fluid may be, yet a diffusion of it in the circulation is known, from its putrefacent qualities to bring on sudden and fatal fevers. The marvellous success of Dr. Hunter's Antibilious in curing, and particularly preventing this disease is universally known in the
islands, and has induced the proprietor to appoint agents in all the mercantile towns in the United States, for the accommodation of the public. The Antibilious Pills are therefore, in an especial manner, recommended as a preventive, deserving the notice of all persons going to the West India Islands, or any of those places infected with these fevers. Dr. Hunter has every possible reason, that can result from long and extensive experience, for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every fourteen days, during the prevalence of our fall fevers, will prove an infallible preventive, and that, if taken in the early stages of these fevers, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health, and frequently in cases esteemed desperate and beyond the power of common remedies.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, may be used with safety by persons in every situation and of every age. In sickly times and places a dose should be taken once a fortnight, and if there is reason to apprehend personal danger, once a week. Observe that the signatures of Messrs. Thos. Stokes and Co. are affixed to each box, without which mark of authenticity they are not genuine.  The genuine Scotch Itch Ointment.
The only medicine that cures this disagreeable disease by one application, so many thousands having experienced its efficacy; it is unnecessary to add any more arguments in its favor, but to caution the public that the name Thomas Stokes and Co. are affixed to each box, without this mark of authenticity, none are genuine.
Dr. Bardwell's genuine Eye Water. A sovereign remedy for all diseases of the Eyes; specifically removes inflammations, dimness, itchings, and film, it never fails to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the measles, small-pox, and fever; and is an unparallelled strengthener of a weak sight.
Dr. Hunter's genuine Antibilious Pills. An agreeable and certain preventive of the predisposition to inflammatory and malignant fever, which prevails at particular seasons of the year. The rapid and increasing demand from every part of the United States, and the West India Islands, is the best evidence of their superior excellence.
CHAMBAUD'S Antasthmatic Lozenges. A radical cure for coughs, colds, asthma and consumption, difficulty of breathing, &c. &c.
MR. CHAMBAUD, the sole proprietor of this medicine, has the satisfaction to announce that they have been the means of relieving many persons in a most precarious state of health. In common colds this medicine produces so salutary a perspiration that they generally are eradicated in a few hours. Coughing, being prolonged by that convulsive symptom termed the tickling in the throat, it shortens its duration by promoting sleep and strengthening the constitution. Pulmonary complaints, affecting the breast and lungs; those affected with them experience an almost immediate relief. Asthma and confined consumption have repeatedly been eradicated by them. Infants in the hooping-cough, and women during pregnancy, may take them without the least fear of danger, and with the greatest expectation of relief, nor can it be administered at an improper season.
Dr. BRADWELL'S Anodyne Essence, for all kinds of Head Aches.
THE renowned virtues of the Anodyne essence, is now so generally known, that it is no presumption on the Proprietor, to say, that Head Aches, arising from whatever cause, or however violent, instantly submit to its penetrating powers. This invaluable Anodyne, has frequently succeeded after the best advice, and every other remedy had failed; by its salutary operation, it instantly promotes circulation and perspiration, and thereby prevents the return of the most obstinate periodical head aches.
SPRING PHYSIC.
DR. HUNTER'S Anti Bilious Pills are unquestionably proved by ample experience to be the most effectual remedy, at the same time the most innocent, pleasant, and convenient medicine for the cure of scurvy, scorbutic eruptions, leprosy, and other disorders originating from a corruptive state of the blood. The remarkable cure of Mr. Ellison, of Albany, who had been twelve years tormented with a most distressing scorbutic complaint, as also that of Thomas Johnson, a labouring man, in the service of Mr. Van Rensselaer, who was afflicted with a most horrid leprosy, must have convinced every one who has read the particulars of these cases, besides which, a variety of proofs of their efficacy, authenticated by persons of character and respectability are open to the examination of every inquirer. These must naturally be supposed to have their due weight, and supersede the necessity of any further comment from the Proprietor, yet, he presumes to assert, that the real merits of this vegetable preparation will, on a fair trial, plead more forcible its own recommendation than any thing which can be said of it.
Where also may be had, Atkinson's Worm destroying Lozenges. These Lozenges not only destroy worms where they exist, but effectually prevent their return. Those families who have allowed Dr. Atkinson's advice, and used them in the Spring and Fall among their children, as their common physic, have now the happiness to find those children, which appeared sickly and consumptive, in the bloom of health, being entirely delivered from those dreadful vermin.
Sparta, Mount Pleasant, March 27, 1803. We hereby certify, that our daughter, about 4 years of age, has been very unwell and in a bad state of health for these last two years. We always suspected that she had worms, and had given her several worm medicines, without any good effect, so that we despaired of curing her till of late. Hearing of some surprising cures being performed by Atkinson's worm destroying Lozenges, we purchased a packet of them, and administered them according to the directions. The first dose brought away one worm, and with it a quantity of slimy, offensive matter; the second brought away four monstrous worms nearly half a yard in length and the third dose, large quantity of slimy offensive matter, with vomiting and purging, with which she was frequently
troubled, have ceased - her regular appetite has become & has once since enjoyed a perfect state of health, for which we are entirely indebted to this excellent medicine.
DR. BARDWELL'S  Re-animating Solar Tincture, or Pabulum of Life Of the cure of Consumption and Asthma, Disorder in the Stomach and Bowels, Convulsions, Cholick and Dementia.
Cautious in investigation, and attentive enquiry into the nature and laws of the animal economy, having long confirmed an opinion in the mind of the inventor, that all the maladies abovementioned, derive their origin from the same cause, indirect debility, or consequence weakness, the analogy of their source, by a natural inference suggested the idea of their removal by the same means; the result was the discovery of the Re-animating Solar Tincture, which after having been employed in thousands of instances, with the most unexampled and astonishing success, has obtained the warmest approbation of characters of the first respectability, both in and out of the profession; the proprietors can confidently recommend as one of the most certain, efficacious, and pleasant remedies ever discovered by man or offered to the world.
Price, 1 dol. and 1 dollar and 50 cents per bottle. The large bottle contains nearly two of the small. Copious Directions for their use are sealed up with each bottle.  Dr. Stoughton's Cordial Bitters, faithfully prepared at the original warehouse, London.

These Bitters being now generally used in taverns and public places, and universally acknowledged by all who have tried their effects, to be far superior to the compositions formerly imposed in imitation thereof; the proprietor hath reduced the price to those who purchase largely at five fifty per cent. Directions will be pasted on the Bottles, and which will be also sealed, in order to detect counterfeiters and upstart pretenders, who will all tell you, they make the genuine Stoughton's Bitters; and in order to impose their trash on the public, they sometimes copy a part of the true advertisement and directions.

Those who are unacquainted with the great relief afforded by this valuable medicine, are earnestly recommended to trial. Few are the cases in which it has not been of great service, and very often perfected a complete cure. Copious directions for the use of the Specific Drops for Deafness are sealed up with each bottle. Price one dollar. June 13.
