Late Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, February 20
We rejoice to state that his majesty, is pronounced by his physicians to be not only out of danger, but in a fair way of recovery.
Our advices from the coast continue to assure us, that the enemys preparations for the invasion of this country are in such a state of completion, as to render it highly probable that the daring attempt will not much longer be delayed. The information received by government is amply corroborative of these accounts: and Ministers are, in consequence in daily expectation of some movements of importance being attempted from most of the opposite ports. All the letters of Saturday concur in stating that the enemys flotillas are again on the alert, for the purpose of reinforcing the grand depot at Boulogne.
The masters of several vessels arrived in the River from Amsterdam report that at the time of their sailing the frost had set in with great severity, and that their navigation of the Zuyder Zee was much impeded by the ice. They add that all the small vessels had been conveyed from Amsterdam &c. by canals to Flushing; but that there are in the Texel about 60 ships of from 400 to 100 tons burthen on board of which the troops assembled at the Helder are to embark.
Letters from Gurnsey of the 14th inst. mention that an unusual bustle prevailed along the enemys coast &c. The opinion was, that some enterprize was on the eve of execution.
A foreigner, seized at Castlebar in Ireland, on suspicion of being a spy, was on Monday last brought to Dublin, under a military escort, and committed to prison.
Fresh alarm in Ireland.
DUBLIN, Feb. 15.
"Last night this city exhibited an appearance of the greatest alarm, and the guards at the several barriers were doubled—large patrols of cavalry paraded the streets the entire of the night, while the remainder of the garrison were to a man under arms within the walls of their respective barracks. The military display did not fail of exciting the most lively apprehensions. The yeomanry flew to arms; the 26th of last July did not exhibit a more numerous meeting of the citizens. The following which I can rely on, are the only circumstances which, after the minutest enquiry, have come to my knowledge, as furnishing a cause for this extraordinary alert. Government within the space of a very few hours, received intelligence from Mr. Seavor, of Armagh, that a rising was immediately to be apprehended in that country connected with a movement which was to take place as of last night in this city. They had similar information from the Collector of Newry. It was reported to them that a considerable number of fishermen of Dublin Bay had absconded for the purpose of serving as pilots to the enemy; that the county of Kildare is completely organized, and ready to obey its Rebel Chief at a moment's notice; and finally, that a Rebel Committee had been taken next door to the Post-Office in Cork, which had been discovered to receive its final instructions from the invading army. I believe that even more material information is in the possession of government."
"Corcoran, the Rebel Chief, who has been for a considerable time the terror of the county of Carlow, and for whose apprehension a large reward was offered by government, has at length terminated his career. The Revd. Mr. Eastwood, of Killian in the county of Wexford, having received information that Corcoran and some of his gang were concealed in a house about a mile from him, sent a party of 12 yeomen of Jamestown infantry, under the command of Wm. Ellison, Serjeant in the Ross Guards, who approached the house with his small party in three divisions, and after receiving the fire of the rebels, closed on them; Corcoran received a shot through his body, and is since dead. An outlaw of the name of Brennan was wounded, and a noted rebel John Fitzpatrick, who had deserted from Hompesch's Corps, and went under the name of the Hessian, was secured. A blunderbus, two musquets (which had been plundered from some of the Borris infantry,) and several pistols, fell into the hands of the yeomen, who conducted themselves with uncommon steadiness."
Another letter, same date.
"A very considerable degree of alarm prevailed in this city last night. The garrison was under arms, and the yeomanry
repaired to their several alarm posts, prepared with ball, cartridges, &c. and strong patrols of horse were in motion the whole night. No two persons scarcely are agreed as to the cause; but the fact, you may rest assured, was this: The commander of a northern corps of Yeomanry, who is now in this city, received a letter from his first lieutenant, informing him, that on the night of the date of his letter, a rising was expected; and that he had served out ammunition to his corps, and that they were in momentary expectation of an attack.—This letter the Yeomanry commander shewed, of course, at the Castle, and all those precautionary steps were taken which a vigilant and active government should adopt; for as there was no time to correct the information; the natural conclusion was, that if any insurrection was really meditated in any part of the country, it would or might have been intended in the capital also, and at the same time, generally all over the island. While I am happy to tell you that the alarm was, for the most part, unfounded in truth, I cannot but notice how happily it proved the alertness and zeal of our Yeomanry. On the first intimation of any danger, they flew under arms to their several posts, and in about ten minutes or a quarter of an hour, there was a force of loyal preparation, which, I am sure would have dismayed, and easily suppressed any active rebellion which the metropolis could have produced. The Yeomanry of Ireland will justify the handsome tribute paid by Mr. Secretary Yorke to their zeal, loyalty, courage and efficiency."
CORK, February 12.
Several persons who were in a public-house, in George-street, were on Friday night arrested upon charges of being parties at seditious meetings. The administering of criminal oaths to a few of the populace, has been traced to an individual or two, who are publicly known; and who, the better to engage the compliance of the thoughtless and ignorant, have infamously, basely, and wickedly slandered some of the most loyal, wealthy, and respectable gentlemen of this city, by naming them as accomplices in the projected treason.
RATISBON, Jan. 27.
Yesterday, Citizen Bacher, the French Charge des affaires, presented to the diet a letter from the Pope, addressed "To our beloved Son in Christ, Napoleon Bonaparte." Its contents concern the religious affairs of Germany.
LEGHORN, January 4.
In consequence of the order of General Murat, the flag of our sovereign has been substituted on our forts to that of the French. The latter, however, still retain the command of the interior, but they maintain excellent discipline; commerce becomes every day more flourishing, and the advantage which all classes derive from the change are incalculable. Vessels daily arrive, which were destined for other ports, but dare not sail for them on account of their being blockaded by the English.
AMSTERDAM, January 28.
The following is an extract of a letter from Calais:—"Notwithstanding the extraordinary exertions that have been made, the expedition against England can scarcely be expected to take place before the end of March, so much time will be required to assemble the armed vessels and transports at Boulogne, and enclose the national flotilla there to the number of 1500 sail."
A considerable promotion has been made in our Marine: among others, captain Blois de Treilong has been appointed a Rear Admiral.
HAMBURGH, February 7.
Representations of a very importunate nature have it is said, been made by the French Government to the Danish court. The principal object is to exclude the English from the ports of the Baltic by shutting up the sound. Denmark has given a decided negative to this demand, and applied for the mediation of Russia, which has been granted. In the mean time it is in contemplation to train the whole population of the Duchies of Holstein and Schleswig to the use of arms, that they may be ready to resist any hostile attempt on the part of the First Consul.
Congress of the United States.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Friday, March 23.
Mr. Nicholson, from the Managers appointed to confer with the Managers of the Senate on the disagreeing votes of the two houses on the Louisiana bill, made a report recommending that the house should recede from their amendment, proposing a substitute for the fourth section of the bill as it came from the Senate. The substitute provides for the election of a legislative council by the people of Louisiana. Mr. Nicholson observed that the Managers on the part of the Senate, had represented that the election of a legif-
lative council by the people of Louisiana would be attended with inconveniences which he, for one, had never perceived before. It was stated by one of the Managers, who had been in Louisiana, and by another well acquainted with the situation of the country, that the settlements there were usually in parishes in which the inhabitants were generally of one description. Some of those parishes were entirely composed of Spaniards, some of French, some of Germans, and some of Creoles. If each of them were to send a member, the legislative body would be composed of persons of different languages. The representatives of no two parishes would perhaps speak the same language. This, Mr. Nicholson said, was the principal reason which induced the Managers to recommend that the House should recede. There were other reasons of a very powerful nature, which it was not necessary for him to state.
Mr. Smilie declared himself in favor of receding, as he wished the bill passed, under the conviction that, without the proposed new section, it would provide for the people of Louisiana a better government than they at present enjoy.
Mr. Alston observed, that in consequence of a limitation in the bill, it would expire in one year, which would be antecedent to the time when the contemplated legislative council, as eligible by the people, would be organized.—He was, therefore, in favour of receding.
The question was then taken, by Yeas and Nays, on the receding, and carried in the affirmative—Yeas 51—Nays 45.
The Managers further recommend that the House should insist on their amendment, declaring null all grants subsequent to the treaty of St. Domingo—with an amendment, saving bona fide grants to a certain extent made to actual settlers.
Mr. R. Griswold said he should vote against the amendment, with the view of afterwards voting against insisting on the original amendment of the House.
Mr. Nicholson and Mr. Smilie said a few words in favor of agreeing to the amendment.
When the question was taken on concurring with the report of the Managers, and carried—Ayes 54.
The House took up the bill received from the Senate, altering the time of the next session of Congress to the 1st Monday of November.
On the question whether the same shall pass?
Messrs. Leib, Sloan, Bedinger, and J. Clay supported; and Messrs. Thatcher, Lyon, Hoger, and Elmer opposed it.
When the question was taken by Yeas and Nays, and the bill passed—Yeas 54—Nays 43.
Mr. Claiborne called up the bill making further provision for extinguishing debts due by the United States.
Mr. Leib said he was friendly to the principle of the bill; but delayed, from the late period of the the session, of its passage; he, therefore, moved its postponement to the 1st Monday of December.
Mr. Elmer expressed a coincidence of sentiment with Mr. Leib.
Mr. Claiborne said it was well known to the House that he was friendly to this bill; he was, however, sensible that it was too late to act upon it during the present session. His only wish, therefore, at this time, was to get the bill in such a respectful situation as would recommend it to the early attention of Congress at their next session. He, therefore, acquiesced in the postponement.
The motion of postponement was then carried without a division.
The House went into committee of the whole—Mr. J. C. Smith in the chair—on the bill from the Senate to punish certain crimes against the United States.
The first section of the bill was read. It provides for the punishment with death any person, who shall wilfully burn, sink or destroy any vessel.
Mr. Lieb moved to strike out "with death" and to insert, "by imprisonment not exceeding fourteen years."
This amendment gave rise to a debate of some interest and length, on the comparative advantages of sanguinary and mild punishments, and on the relative magnitude of the offence the punishment of which was under consideration.
Messrs. Leib, Smilie, J. Clay, Elmer, and Stanton supported; and Messrs. Nicholson, Holland, R. Griswold, Southard, Macon and Thatcher opposed, the amendment, which, on the question being put, was negatived—Ayes 32.
An act to erect a light house at the mouth of the Mississippi, and to erect other light houses was read a third time and passed.
The House went into committee of the whole, on the bill supplementary to the act respecting the election of President and Vice President. Mr. Tenny in the chair.
The committee having gone through the bill, reported it without amendment; when it was read a third time and passed—Ayes 49.
A message was received from the Senate, stating their agreement to the report of the committee of conference on the Louisiana bill, which is consequently passed.
It may not be unsatisfactory here to state that the bill, finally passed, is limited in duration to one year from the 1st day of October next (when it is to take effect) and

chance to the end of the next session of Congress.
It directs the appointment by the President of a governor, to hold his office for four years, the appointment annually of a legislative council composed of inhabitants of Louisiana, and the appointment of judges.
It will be perceived that the principle of the Senate, withholding for the present the right of suffrage from the people of Louisiana prevailed subject, however to the limitation of time introduced in the bill by the House of Representatives.
The House went into committee of the whole—Mr. Nicholson in the chair—on the bill making an addition to the salaries of governors, judges and secretary of the Indiana territory.
The bill adds to the salary of the governor 500 dollars, to that of the judges 400 dollars, and to that of the secretary 275 dollars, for two years from the 1st of October next.
Mr. Early spoke in favor of the bill, on the ground that, by the annexation of a part of Louisiana to the Indiana territory, the duties of these officers was greatly increased.
Mr. Lyon opposed the bill, and moved to amend it by striking out the additional compensation allowed the governor.
Messrs. Leib and Clay advocated the amendment.
When the question was taken on Mr. Lyon's motion, and carried—Ayes 51.
Mr. Macon moved to strike out "to the judges each 400 dollars."
Mr. Macon observed that it was an incorrect procedure to give judges a temporary salary.
Mr. Morrow opposed the motion.
Mr. Macon's motion was then agreed to—Ayes 47.
The committee then rose and reported progress; when leave was refused to them to sit again, and the bill postponed to the 1st Monday of December.
An engrossed bill supplementary to an act prescribing the mode in which the acts in one state shall be authenticated so as to take effect in another state was read the third time and passed—Ayes 57.
Mr. Nicholson offered a resolution declaratory of the opinion of Congress that the first section of the act providing for persons disabled by known wounds received during the revolutionary war, &c. should be so construed, as to include all persons who in consequence of disability arising from known wounds resigned their commissions.
Mr. Smilie opposed the motion, under the idea that one act of Congress could only be explained by another act of the same kind.
Mr. Nicholson said this was as much a legislative act as though it began with the words, "be it enacted."
Mr. J. C. Smith suggested the propriety of accommodating the style to the phraseology of the laws. He was of opinion that one solemn act of legislation could only be superceded by an act equally sacred.
Mr. G. W. Campbell expressed the same opinion.
On motion of Mr. Nicholson the resolution was referred to a committee empowered to report by bill.
The House took up an amendment of the Senate (entirely verbal) to the bill supplementary to the naturalization law, and concurred therein.
The House took up and agreed to an amendment of the Senate to the bill for the relief of the heirs of John Habersham.
Both these bills have, therefore, passed the two houses.
Mr. J. C. Smith reported a bill embracing the contents of Mr. Nicholson's resolution (above stated.)
Ordered to a third reading.
Saturday, March 24.
A bill supplementary to the act making provision for persons disabled by known wounds, &c. was read the third time and passed.
This bill gives the construction to the act to which it is supplementary stated in the proceedings of yesterday.
The bill further to regulate trade and intercourse with the Indian tribes was postponed to the first Monday in November.
The House went into committee of the whole—Mr. Varnum in the chair—on the bill from the Senate, authorizing the payment of 2,300 dollars to Philip Sloan.
The committee rose and reported their agreement to the bill; which the house ordered to a third reading, and passed—Ayes 66.
The House went into committee of the whole—Mr. Varnum in the chair—on the bill from the Senate, to amend the laws providing for the organization of the accounting offices of the treasury, war and navy departments.
Mr. Dana observed that this appeared to be a bill for the revival of the office of commissioner
of loans. This might be necessary; but as there had been no report on the subject, he was not prepared to say that the measure was necessary.
Mr. Nicholson called for the reading of the report of the committee of Ways and Means, and an accompanying letter from the Secretary of the Treasury which was read.
The committee rose and reported the bill.
The House immediately took it up, and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was accordingly read the third time, and on the question whether the same shall pass?
Mr. Conrad desired the taking of the Yeas and Nays. Mr. Conrad said that he had expected a very different bill from the present; in consequence of the resolutions entered into by the House at an early stage of the session. It was then generally expected that two offices would be abolished, it now appeared that it was contemplated to create a new office. He voted the bill would not pass.
The question was then taken on the passage of the bill, by yeas and nays, and passed in the negative—Yeas 42—Nays 44.
A letter was received from the Secretary of the Treasury, stating the compensations rendered to counsel employed by the several departments of the government in support of prosecutions on the part of the U. States.
A bill from the Senate, appropriating 15,000 dollars to extinguish Indian claims was passed—Ayes 42—Nays 38.
A message was received from the Senate stating that they had passed the bill concerning the city of Washington, with an amendment devoting the appropriation of fifty thousand dollars to finishing the President's house for the accommodation of Congress, and directing the purchase of a house for the President.
Messrs. J. Randolph, and Sloan supported and Messrs. J. Lewis, Smilie, Dawson, Claiborne, and Blair, opposed this amendment; when the question was taken by Yeas, and Nays, on a greeting to it, and passed in the negative. Yeas 27, Nays 77.

It is reported that a gentleman in the City of Washington, has received a letter from a person of the first respectability in England, mentioning, "that the King is deranged, that a regency has been appointed, consisting of Mr. Pitt, the Queen, and Duke of Clarence, that the Duke of York had been removed from the command in chief, and Cornwallis put in his place—that Mr. Fox and Mr. Gray were in the ministry, and that Ireland was in the greatest commotion."
Extract of a letter from Copenhagen, just received by a gentleman of N. York.
"The politics of the north of Europe which have long been vibrating, appear now to be brought to a decided stand. Report upon good authority says that Prussia has joined France against Russia, that the French minister in Russia is recalled, and that the French minister at this court has solicited his recall immediately. It is an indisputable fact that the Russian ministry is changed in favor of England, which it is supposed they will join against France; and as Denmark is in a great measure under the controul of Russia, I think there is but little doubt that she will be induced by Russia and Sweden, to espouse the cause of England."
The following is an extract of a letter from Captain Bainbridge, to Commodore Preble, which has been handed to us by the Secretary of the Navy.
TRIPOLI, Barbary, 12th November, 1803. SIR,
I had the honor of writing to you on the first and sixth instant from this place giving an account of the loss of the United States frigate Philadelphia, late under my command. I now transmit you further particulars of that unhappy event: the following bearings were taken from the place where the ship grounded.
The westernmost of the small rocks which form the harbour, W. by S. 1/2 S. the steeple of S. Mosque near the Danish Consul's Flag-staff the W. by W. fort English to the east of the town S. W. Bearings taken by the point of compass. When the ship grounded, her head was N. E. After giving up the chase in pursuit of the cruiser, and bearing off shore, striking on the rocks was as unexpected to me, as if it had happened in the middle of the Mediterranean sea; immediately laid all sails abaft, run all the guns aft, sounded and found a sufficient depth of water astern, and a small distance from each side. A consultation of the officers was called, when it was unanimously agreed to heave the guns over board and start the water; this was done as expeditiously as possible, and a fire kept up at the gun boats from our stern and weather quarter guns; in firing the lower stern chasers, the stern caught fire, which was put out without much confusion; the gun boats carrying brass eighteen and twenty four pounders were keeping up a fire against us, but directed their shot at our masts. Finding that the guns and water did
not lighten her sufficiently, the officers were of opinion that the fore mast should be cut away, which was done but without the desired effect. A reinforcement of five more gun boats coming upon our lee-quarter, where it was impossible for us to fire a gun, except down in the water, and the weather guns could not be depressed sufficient to heave within the distance of the boat. At 4 P. M. every hope was fled of our being able to get her off, and not the least power whatever of injuring our enemy, and saw no alternative but our eventually becoming prisoners to Tripoli: a council of the officers was called, when they were unanimously of opinion that it was impossible for us to get her off the rocks, and that continuing in our situation would only be sacrificing lives without affecting our enemy, or rendering the least service to our country. In such a dilemma, too painful to relate, the flag of the United States was struck.
I trust that a want of courage can never be imputed where there is no chance of resistance. Disressing indeed to brave minds to be obliged to surrender without having had an opportunity of defence. Some fanatics may say that blowing the ship up would have been the proper result. I thought such conduct would not stand acquitted before God or man, and I never presumed to think I had the liberty of putting to death 300 souls because they were placed under my command, and those persons who argue thus, to have been in our situation, would no doubt have had very different ideas.
Although I feel conscious that my conduct will bear the nicest investigation, yet I am no stranger to the censures of an ungenerous world, and the regrets and mortifications which are incident to a change of public opinion, which does not always follow meritorious exertions; and an accident, although occasioned by circumstances which no prudence could foresee or valor controul, may weigh against years of arduous service; yet I have a consolation in believing that my friends are too sincere to let adversity of fortune change their opinion.
I have the honor to be, Sir, With the most sincere respect, Your obedient servant, WM. BAINBRIDGE.

REANIMATION.
WHEN the most important functions of life are suspended, and those who are invalids by impotence, inheritance, accident or 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 1803 my daughter, who is in her 27th 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 our 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, which 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 on horse back, and if the weather shall prove favorable we intend coming to Peeks-kill early in April to stay until we go to Ball's-Town Springs: from there we will send your 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. is 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 Antisthematic Lozenges; Azue and Fever Drops; Antibilious Pills; Annodyne 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 what dangerous disorders arise from a redundancy of bile 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 putrescent qualities, to bring on sudden and fatal fevers. The unparalleled success of Dr. Hunter's Antibilious Pills, in curing, and particularly in preventing this dreadful 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 preventative, deserving the notice of all persons going to the West Indies, 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 preventative, 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. is affixed to each box, without which mark of authenticity they are not genuine.
Dr. Atkinson's genuine Essence of Mustard.
Rheumatism in every stage, instantly submits to its penetrating powers, which has succeeded in curing the most desperate cases of rheumatism, gout, lumbago, sciatica, numbness, palsy and complaints of the stomach, after various medicines have proved ineffectual. It is prepared in pills, and also in a fluid state. The pills are particularly serviceable in flatulences and indigestion, and by their salutary operation, promote perspiration, and gradually undermine the most obstinate rheumatism; and, at the same time, invigorate the debilitated constitution. The fluid essence is a remarkable active embrocation, necessarily used with the pills, and as generally excites a tingling sensation; it removes the cause of pain, by bringing on a cir-
ulation in the part affected; by this means, frozen limbs, the severest sprains and bruises, old strains and aneurysms, are generally cured by a few applications. The genuine is distinguished from counterfeits, by the signature of Thomas Stokes and Co. being affixed to each bottle; without which mark of authenticity, none are 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. is 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; speedily removes inflammations, dimness, itching, and film; it never fails to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the measles, small-pox, and fever; and is an unparalleled 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 Antisthematic 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. BARDWELL'S Annodyne Essence, for all kinds of Head Aches.
THE renowned virtues of the Annodyne essence, is now so generally known, that it is no presumption in the Proprietor, to say, that Head Aches, arising from whatever cause, or however violent, instantly submit to its penetrating powers. This invaluable Annodyne, has frequently succeeded after the best advice, and every other remedy had failed; by its salutary operation, it insensibly promotes circulation and perspiration, and thereby prevents the return of the most obstinate periodical head aches.
SPRING PHYSIC.
DR. HUNTER'S Antibilious 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 supercede 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 anything 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 followed 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 raising 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 only one worm, and with it a quantity of slimy, offensive matter; the second brought away four monstrous thick worms nearly half a yard in length; and the third dose, a large quantity of a slimy, offensive matter. The vomiting and purging, with which she was frequently troubled have ceased—her appetite has become regular, and has ever 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. Disorders in the Stomach and Bowels, Convulsions, Cholice and Di- sentery.
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 consequent 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 it as one of the most certain, efficacious, and pleasant remedies ever discovered by man or offered to the world.
Price, 1 dollar and 1 dollar 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.
This incomparable medicine has stood the test of universal approbation in Europe for near an hundred years, in the cure and prevention of,
Loss of appetite, bad digestion, windy cholice, ursets, hysterical vapours, faintness and trembling, ague and fever, depressed spirits, foul breath, worms in children, scurvy, obstructions or stop- ages, bilious fevers, sick fish, &c. &c.
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 above fifty per cent. Directions will be patted on the Bottles, and which will be also sealed, in order to detect counterfeits 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.
Specific Drops for Deafness.
FOR many years have these drops been used with amazing success, in DEAFNESS & HARDNESS of HEARING. 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.
