For SALE and to RENT.
I wish to sell 900 acres of Land, on Sugar Land Run; being a moiety of 1800 acres, lying on the edge of Loudoun, and in Fairfax county, about 20 miles from Alexandria, 19 from George-Town, and about a mile and one quarter from the river—lies level—It has an abundance of fine timber; on it equal to any in the country, and its tract of land can be more copiously supplied with innumerable springs of the finest water; there is a part of it laid down in fine clover paddocks, with a good orchard and several buildings fit for tenants. This and was deeded to me, several years ago, by Ferdinand Fairfax, Esquire—the title indisputable, as may be seen by the title papers in my possession. Terms may be known and the land showed to any person wishing to purchase, by the subscriber.
I wish to Rent, for 5 or 6 years,
An ISLAND in the Potomac,
About fifteen miles from George-town, Containing 216 acres; most of which is cleared: I am told, by those who have been in Kentucky, that it is equal to any land in that state, producing from 10 to 12 barrels of corn per acre in a tolerable season. A great bargain may be had in the purchase of the first mentioned tract, and in the latter on rent, provided application be soon made. Possession may be had at Christmas, (when the present crop will be finished) with liberty of sowing wheat this fall. It is supposed, by judges, there is a good MILL-SEAT, with a stream of water on the 900 acre tract. Any person desirous of purchasing will view it and judge for themselves.

FACTS
Which will aid the future historian in delineating the true character of the present Executive of the United States.
"When men of infamy to grandeur soar, They light a torch to show their shame the more."
The various charges which I have advanced against Mr. Jefferson, and which from a complete conviction of their truth, I pledged myself to support, instead of silencing the headstrong advocates of the distinguished profligate, have produced nothing but a torrent of personal abuse. Every statement criminating Mr. Jefferson, advanced by the federalists, has been represented as the offspring of internal malice, fostered by party spirit without principle, and tending to blast unjustly, a character in itself pure, amiable, and deserving the cordial esteem and approbation of good men. The supporters of the President, with an affected confidence in the fairness of his reputation, have admitted that the crimes of which he was accused were disgraceful, were shocking, were incredible. They have even declared that were the accusations supported by proper evidence, they would no longer defend, but renounce him. Yet said they, no evidence exists; it is anonymous slander; it is abominable falsehood, and the unspotted virtue of the persecuted Jefferson will triumph over slander, and be transmitted in the page of history, for the example of his successors.
The following communication is from Thomas Turner, Esq. of Virginia; a gentleman of very respectable character, and whose veracity will not be questioned. It will be seen by the close of the letter, that he does not hesitate to lend his name, and pledge his personal responsibility for the truth of his allegations.
LETTER.
Sir, After my note of last week, I shall, without circumlocution, enter upon the several subjects embraced by your letter of the 14th ultimo, and answer the interrogatories therein proposed, with all the perspicuity in my power, and all the light, afforded by my own knowledge of facts, and by respectable information, recently obtained in Richmond.
At the time Petersburg was occupied by the British troops, under command of generals Philips and Arnold; Mr. Jefferson, who was then governor of the state, did participate in the partial consternation excited by the situation of the British army, and did abandon the seat of Government, at a period, and with an awkward precipitation, indicative of timidity, unwarranted by any immediate movement of the enemy, and forbidden by a regard to those duties which belong to the station he held. This fact is well recollected, and can be proved by many of the oldest and most respectable inhabitants of the city of Richmond, and I believe would not be denied by the candid supporters of Mr. Jefferson himself.
The sequel of his conduct, after the Assembly returned to Charlottesville, and on the approach of Colonel Tarleton to that place, stands attested by thousands of witnesses, and can never be forgotten by those of his countrymen, who respect the character of a firm and virtuous public officer, and who abhor that of a dastardly traitor to the trust reposed in him. His retreat or rather his flight from Monticello, on the information that Tarleton had penetrated the country, and was advancing to Charlottesville, was effected with such hurried abruptness, as to produce a fall from his horse, and a dislocation of the shoulder. In this situation he proceeded about sixty miles south, to the county of Bedford, whence he forwarded his resignation to the Assembly, (who had in the meantime removed to Staunton and) who thereupon elected general Nelson governor. These circumstances are substantially and literally true; nay, the abdication of the government, must be a matter of record.
Mr. Jefferson's encouragement of Callender, and his rewarding that miscreant, for the blackest effusions of the blackest calumny, that ever escaped the envenomed pen of a villain, are circumstances as well known in Richmond, and as susceptible of positive proof, as is the circumstance of his having delivered an inaugural speech, or any thing else of the most public notoriety. The facts are these. On Callender's sending the proof sheets, of the Prospect Before Us for the inspection of Mr. Jefferson, he received a note fraught with extravagant acknowledgements of the merit of the work, and authorising him to call on Mr. George Jef-
ferson of Richmond for fifty dollars. When the first part of the second volume of the Prospect appeared, Callender received a second note of thanks, covering fifty dollars more. It is to be observed, that one of these notes is without signature, but Jefferson's hand writing is too remarkable to be mistaken, by those who are in the habit of seeing it. The letter was deposited with a Mr. Davis, of Richmond, and whilst in his possession, were examined by many gentlemen of respectability all of whom recognised the hand writing; and farther it has been repeatedly acknowledged by Mr. G. Jefferson, that he did pay the money as instructed by his kinsman.
On the remission of Callender's fine I need not dilate; it being a thing of official stamp, and of course in the possession of all.
The third subject alluded to in your letter is "the affair of Mr. Walker," an affair whose monstrous atrocity, whose diabolical terpititude, whose extensive, continued, and deliberate villainy, defy the powers of the strongest pen, and can only be conceived by those, who have seen and attentively perused, the documents unfolding the whole of this unparallelled transaction. — This I have done. I will as briefly as I can give you the substance of, and dispatch this hateful subject.
The father of Col. John Walker was the guardian of Mr. Jefferson, and advanced a part of those funds, which were applied to the education of the latter; an education affording those talents, which have been so strangely perverted, which have been insidiously employed, in the conception of schemes, foul, ungrateful, horrible. At an early period of their lives, col. Walker and Mr. Jefferson contracted an attachment, which grew up with their years, and ripened into the closest intimacy. Their professions were mutual; their confidence were unbounded; whilst things were in this situation Mr. Jefferson was meditating the unnatural purpose, of seducing the wife of his best friend, and to this end (taking advantage of the confidence of col. Walker and availing himself of the timidity of the lady, whose affection for her husband forbade the disclosure of a transaction, which might lead to an exposure of his life) devoted himself for ten years repeatedly and assiduously making attempts, which were as repeatedly, and with horror repelled. For ten years was this purpose pursued, and at last abandoned (as he himself acknowledges) from the inflexible virtue of the lady, and followed, as he also acknowledges, by the deepest and most heart wounding remorse.—All this I HAVE SEEN; NOT in newspapers, not in extracts, not in copies of letters.—I HAVE SEEN IT IN THE ORIGINAL CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN MESSRS. JEFFERSON & WALKER, every letter of which, bears the signature of the writer, or has been since acknowledged by him, under his own hand. In this correspondence, Mr. Jefferson repeatedly and fervently confesses, that the guilt is all his own; the innocence all Mrs. Walker's; and that he shall never cease to revere, and attest the purity of her character, and to deprecate his un pardonable and unsuccessful attempt to destroy her. His contrition, his misery, is asserted in the warmest terms, and his acquittal of Mrs. Walker pronounced in the strongest language of his pen. Amongst other concessions, he owns that in order to cover the real cause of the separation between Col. Walker and himself, he DID FABRICATE A NOTE respecting an unsettled account which he said, had produced the schism, and which he expressly acknowledges, HAD NO FOUNDATION IN TRUTH. Let it not be forgotten, that the attempts against the honor of Mrs. Walker, were carried on during the life of Mrs. Jefferson, than whom a better woman, and better wife never existed.
I observe you have omitted one prominent feature in the dark picture of this distinguished citizen's life; namely, his conduct to Mr. Gabriel Jones. As this serves to constitute an essential link in the extensive chain, I will give it you. When Mr. Jefferson first turned out in the practice of the law, several gentlemen with a view to encourage talents, and assist a young man of merit, aided him both with their personal exertions, and advances of money.—the latter Mr. Jones was one of the distinguished, and lent him in spec a sum of money, to be returned when convenient to the borrower. Some considerable time afterwards, (I think in the year 1779) when our paper currency had not merely depreciated, but had nearly sunk into nought, Mr. Jones recd. by his daughter, Mrs. Harvey, a note from Mr. Jefferson enclosing in paper the amount he had borrowed in gold and silver, and demanding his bond. Mr. Jones, indignant at such treatment, and depreciating the
transaction by its merit, enclosed the bond to Mr. J. accompanied by the paper money tendered, and such remarks as the nature of the case, was calculated to suggest. The consequence was a full discharge of the debt, in specie; whereby a virtual acknowledgment was made of the dishonorableness of the former tender.
I have now, Sir, discharged, what I consider a duty, in communicating such facts as were in my possession; all of which I believe to be substantially true; and most of which I affirm to be so. Should this letter, in any degree, have a tendency to aid the cause of virtue, or arrest the progress of vice, I shall stand abundantly remunerated, for any exertions on my part to produce such an end. If you find occasion to do so, you are at liberty to make use of my name, in this business. If not necessary, I have no particular inclination to appear in it.
Respectfully your's, THOMAS TURNER.

We yesterday received a letter from our correspondent at Havana; but he observes, that nothing new had transpired relative to governmental affairs since his former communication concerning the imprisonment of the American consul.
We are informed by a gentleman who was lately in Paris, that the Emperor Bonaparte had made Mr. Livingston a present of a rich portrait of himself which cost forty thousand florins. Accompanying the portrait was a complimentary letter, from Bonaparte.

SATURDAY, JUNE 8.
Extract of a letter from a Gentleman of respectability, residing at St. Louis, to the Editor of the Kentucky Gazette, dated St. Louis, April 22.
"We had a considerable alarm about the Indians, one of which nation, we have here in jail for murder. About one hundred of this nation are now here. The hour of their coming preceded them and made them five hundred. We were in considerable alarm, and the people here fled out with an alacrity that does them credit. However, the Indians are arrived, and seem to be peaceable. They said at Council, that they came to demand their prisoners; but hearing on their way, that he had stabbed the Corporal of the guard, (which was the case,) they said they would leave it to the generosity of their fathers, to give him up or not. We had a new alarm yesterday; a report came from St. Charles, which at first seemed probable, that 500 were seen descending the Mississippi; but it was those very Indians who are now here, that were seen several days before. "There have been three murders committed here within these three months, and all by Americans! There are two of the murderers now here in jail."

The house of Pierre Chouteau, Esq. has been burned down to the ground in less than two hours. It happened in January. It was the best furnished house on this side of Allegany mountains. His loss must amount to 30,000 dollars, for he lost everything. It is certainly a public calamity. The owner is a generous, worthy man. We last night received the news of General Wilkinson being our Governor. From his general character, I should suppose him well calculated for the task, and taking the proper steps in the beginning, which I have no doubt he will do, he will bring the old inhabitants of this country the most docile, and easy to be governed. The most honest people in the world, provided only, they gain their confidence in the beginning. There are a few here, and in several parts of the district; some late comers, and some others who lived here under the Spanish government, which in fact, loaded them with kindness. These persons have become clamorous; they would be so if the French, or even the Turks had got possession of this country. All they want is loaves and fishes. These persons are held in horror and contempt by all the old inhabitants. They are but very few; and should the Governor, on his arrival give them any footing or encouragement, he will ruin himself, and do the United States a service.
It was a most fortunate circumstance, that the inhabitants of this country, and for the United States, that such men as Capt. Wilkinson and Governor Harrison were at hand, to act in this district. They have deservedly gained the esteem of the inhabitants.  The following premiums are given by an obscure individual, to the inhabitants of a village, called Florissant, or St. Ferdinand, about fifteen miles from St. Louis. The village consists of about sixty very poor families; all French. It is the most beautiful village I ever saw, as to situation, and extremely healthy. The people are very indolent; but when you are told, that they give two, and sometimes three bushels of wheat, for a pound of coffee, which they all drink as they do tafia, you will not be surprised that they should be poor.
PREMIUMS.     HEMP or FLAX. Dolls.     for the best acre and half 25   the next best acre 20   the best 3-4 acre 15        COTTON. lb. Dolls.     for the best and cleanest parcel of 200 25   the second best 150 20   the third best 100 15

Also, 10, 8 and 6 dollars, for the best dressed suits of cloaths.   This individual has furnished them with hempseed, which they are about sowing. He will furnish them a weaver at his own expence. He advances them looms, spinning wheels, cards, hackles, &c. and takes the above articles in payment for the ensils.  
These people dance about six months the year, and all they can get is spent in that way. This person has made a calculation, and shews that every family must be in the course of 30 years, 4000 dollars, allowing only 12 balls in the year, and the expences to each family would be two dollars to each ball; that with the interest, and a day lost preparing for, and a day lost sleeping after the ball; allowing one day of each family to be two dollars a day, which he says will make in all a thousand dollars. He offers them a house gratis in the village for six balls in a year, provided they will dance no more, except on a marriage, or the fourth of July.  He also advises them never to have a suit at law; because, he says, if a man gains his suit, he will lose some money; he will lose his time, and the good will of his neighbors. He tells them to arbitrate every dispute. "For (says he)
two or three honest neighbors will do you as much justice in Florissant, as twelve jurymen will at St. Louis."
The people of this country, I mean the old inhabitants, are extremely honest, and civil, and kind, but very ignorant; and their confidence in each other is such, that the greatest part of the property in this country has been passed from hand to hand, without even the scrape of a pen. Since I have been here, I have not seen a single quarrel, or serious dispute among the French.
"Quere.—Should the United States adopt some plan of the kind above, for the encouragement of industry and manufactures, would not the sums so laid out, return into its coffers, and produce cent. per cent. in a short time?"
The brig Levant, arrived yesterday from Malaga, touched at Gibraltar and got under weigh with the United States brig Syren, lieutenant Stewart, bound to Tangiers. Saw her afterwards in a bay where two Tripolitans were laid to be lying. The Schooner Two Brothers, Lindley, of Marblehead, likewise sailed from Gibraltar in company with the Levant, and afterwards spoke her. Captain Lindley informed that he had seen the privateers run under the fort when the Syren entered the bay.
[New York paper.]  In confirmation of an article under the New York head relative to American claims on Spain, we have it in our power to state that information of an important nature has been received in this city from Madrid, corroborating the accounts that discussions of so serious a nature had taken place between the Spanish court and our ambassador, as rendered it probable that the latter would speedily retire from that kingdom.
(U. S. Gaz.)  From The Boston Centinel,  POLITICAL EXAMINER.  No—IV.
"Choosing rather far A dry but independent crust hard earn'd And eaten with a figh, than to endure The rugged frowns and insolent rebuffs Of knaves in office."
Cowper.  We now return with mingled emotions of satisfaction and to apprehension, the contemplation of the main object of our inquiry. We find a satisfaction in finding that our lives are secured from the attacks of private vengeance by the barrier of natural right and the express injunctions of divine authority, mingled with apprehension lest we should find a constitutional deficiency, or inability to exclude the violators from promotion. Let us, however, as proposed take a short view of the principles, construction and combination of the governments of the union and of the states, for a power adequate to our wishes.
The form of the federal government is essentially republican, and we find, by the fourth section of the fourth article of that compact, that a republican form of government is guaranteed to every state in the union.
Political writers assert, that public virtue is the active principle of republican governments. The very institution of popular elections is evidently founded on the presumption, that the people possess, not only penetration to distinguish, but also virtue to elect none but the sons of virtue to exalted stations. This presumption is the first foundation and postulation of republicanism. To suppose that a republican can exist in its purity, without this, is folly, absurdity, madness. It is virtue alone that upholds, supports and actuates it, and without this it must sink into anarchy, or despotism. The legislative is the most important branch of the civil authority, and of course it is the most essential to have this department filled with men of virtue. If the laws originate in vice and depravity—if they flow from criminal and corrupt hearts, they will not be founded on correct principles, nor can they secure the blessings of liberty.
"Faults in the life breed errors in the brain, And these reciprocally those again."
If such men be admitted to the most important, they certainly may to the co-ordinate and sub-ordinate branches. We may have a legislature, an executive and a judiciary of murderers. We may bestow on them offices after offices, until prescription renders crimes an essential qualification for promotion. Deplorable indeed, must be such a condition. This, then, will afford an answer to the first part of our enquiry. We see that virtue is the principle of republicanism. The wanton destruction of the life of another can in no case, be a virtue. On the contrary all na-
tions join to pronounce it, both in a civil and moral view, one of the greatest crimes that blacken the character of man. To admit those who are stained with this crime to the important duties of legislation, is, then, not only inconsistent with, but subversive of, the vital principal of republicanism.
We will now proceed to see whether it is consistent with the constitution and existing laws of the union. The grand objects of our government, and what ought to be the grand objects of every government, are distinctly pointed out in the preamble of our constitution. The formation of a more perfect union, the establishment of justice, the insur-ance of domestic tranquility, provision for the common defence and the permanent security of the blessings of liberty, are there held up as the leading objects of pursuit. We ought then to suppose, that every power which can ultimately tend to the attainment or perpetuation of these objects, is contained in that act of the concentrated wisdom of our nation. Let us examine the position under consideration by this test. The only way to determine the expediency of any rule of action, is to view the general consequences of its operation. Which of these great objects will be promoted by the general admission of such men into the federal legislature? Would it tend "to form a more perfect union?" No. The union of the whole must depend on the harmony and connection of its parts. Such men would tear asunder every fibre that binds society together. If individuals are permitted to wield the sword of private revenge without the interference or controul of public laws and authority, the bonds of union are instantly dissolved, and instead of a society of men, we shall become a society of gladiators: Life will become a play thing, and murder an amusement. Would it "establish justice?" No. The streams of justice cannot flow pure and unpolluted through the hand that is crimsoned, or from the head that is clotted, with the gore of murdered innocence.
One great object of the social compact is to prevent individuals from being their own judges and the avengers of their own real or imaginary injuries. Such men have set this principle of association at defiance, and it is presumption to expect that they will be instrumental to promote it. Their examples if not their laws, would sanction the deepest atrocities. Would it "insure domestic tranquility?" No. Instead of making laws to secure, they would be the chief violators of this blessing. Instead of guarding it with the vigilance of public sentinels, and the zeal of patriots, they would sacrifice it to every burst of passion. They would whet their swords for havoc and riot in commotion. Under their administration, every man's arm would be raised against his neighbor, and our government would raise up sons, only to prey on her own vitals. Would it provide for the common defence? No.—The strength and defence of nations consists in population and public virtue. Such men would diminish that population, and corrupt those virtuous sentiments of patriotism which alone constitute the safeguard, and defence of nations. In fine, would it have a tendency to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity?" No. We have already shewn, that it would be subversive of the very foundation of republican liberty. The clashing of swords and the noise of pistols would drown the mild music of peace; and it would let loose the tygers of society to drink and fatten on the blood of innocence! Here then we find that the admission of such men to the administration of our government is diametrically opposed to every object of our Constitution. Still it may be doubted, whether that instrument has provided a remedy for the threatened evil; whether there is any power in our government adequate to their exclusion.
It is an established maxim in politics, that every government must possess, in itself, the power of self defence and of the preservation of its essential attributes; or it must inevitably perish. Some politicians have argued, that this power, though not expressly recognized, is still essentially inherent in the government, and constitutes a fundamental principle of the lex non scripta , or common law of the land. Without contending for the adoption of this broad position in our country, we will proceed to examine the express stipulations of our constitution and laws. If the federal government does not contain, in any of its branches, a power to exclude from its administration, men, who would destroy its foundation and its principles, it must soon crumble into dissolution. The constitution makes no express provision against the election of a man to any office who is guilty of any crime. It probably would not admit the possibility that the people could be so depraved as to promote such a man to office. That compact was erected on the presum-
ed virtue and integrity of the people. That candidate, who is best qualified, both as to knowledge and honesty, has, undoubtedly, a moral right to promotion. Right and obligation are reciprocal. The electors are, therefore, under a correspondent moral obligation to bestow on him their suffrages. Those, who wantonly violate this moral duty, incur a greater degree of guilt, because the injury to society is more extensive, than those who violate a single private right of personal property. But we know, from the history of ancient republics, that such an occurrence may take place. We learn, from those pages, that the people are not wholly incorruptible: We find, that unworthy men may obtain popularity and promotion. Our enquiry is, for a remedy; for a constitutional power to strip them of their robes of office, and deprive them of their undeserved glory and honors.
HORTENSIUS.  A Peasant and an Emperor.  A Persian Emperor, when hunting, perceived a very old man planting a walnut tree, and advancing toward him, asked his age. The peasant replied, "I am four years old." An attendant rebuked him for uttering such an absurdity in the presence of the Emperor. "You censure me without cause," replied the peasant: "I did not speak without reflection; for the wise do not reckon the time lost in folly and the cares of the world: I therefore consider that to be my real age which has been past in serving the Darry, and in discharging my duty to society." The Emperor struck with the singularity of the remark, observed "Thou canst not hope to see the tree thou art planting come to perfection." "True," answered the sage; "but since others have planted that we might eat, it is but right that we should plant for the benefit of others." "Excellent," exclaimed the Emperor. Upon which, as was the custom whenever any one was honoured with the applause of the sovereign, a purse-bearer presented the old man with a thousand pieces of gold. On receiving it, the shrewd peasant made a low obeisance, adding, "O King! other men's trees come to perfection in the space of forty years; but mine have produced fruit as soon as they were planted."—"Bravo!" said the monarch, and a second purse of gold was presented; when the old man continued, "The trees of others bear fruit only once in a year; but mine have yielded two crops in a day."—"Delightful!" exclaimed the Emperor, and a third purse of gold was given: After which, putting spurs to his horse, the monarch retreated, saying, "Reverend father, I dare not stay longer, lest thy wit should exhaust my treasury."
The Public are respectfully requested to suspend for a short time, their opinions on the statement lately published by Richard Ratcliffe; as it will necessarily take some days to collect documents relative to transactions of near 20 years standing, but which, in conformity to my former promise, I shall lay before the public; leaving them to judge of Mr. Ratcliffe's claim to veracity and truth.

AN ABSTRACT OF AN  A P O L O G Y,  For Renouncing the Jurisdiction OF THE  SYNOD OF KENTUCKY.  BEING  A Compendious View of the GOSPEL, AND A FEW REMARKS ON THE  CONFESSION OF FAITH.  By Robert Marshall, John Dunlany, Richard M'Nemar, Barton W. Stone, John Thompson.  May 2.

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, wakefulness and trembling of the limbs, dizziness of the head, and yellowness of countenance, complaints so common to jaundice and bilious people.
Also removing obstructions of the bowels, and of the choicy complaints, pukings, and purgings, indigestion, sick head ache, rheumatic complaints, &c. which live from a collection of foul, 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.
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 tried 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 in 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, 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 to horse back, and if the weather should prove favorable we intend coming to Potomac early in April to stay 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 - ensure, 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 putrefactant qualities, to bring on sudden and fatal fevers. The unassisted success of Dr. Hunter's Antibilious Pills, in curing, and particularly preventing this dreadful disease is universally known in the
islands, and has induced the proprietor to appoint to 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.
The genuine Scotch Itch Ointment. The only medicine that cures this disagreeable disease by one application, to 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, itchings, 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 night 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 consumptives, 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 consumptives 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 in 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 infallibly 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 Johnston, 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 pills 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. To the families who have followed Dr. Atkinson's advice, and used them in the spring and fall among their children, as their common physic, have new the happiness to find those children, which appeared sickly and consumption, 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 the 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 only one worm, and with it a quantity of filth, often five 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 somnolent and purging, with which she was frequently
troubled, have ceased - her regular appetite has become & has over 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 abovenamed, 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 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, Ls. of appetite, bad digestion, windy cholick, vertigo, hysterical vapours, faintness and trembling, ague and fever, depressed spirits, foul breath, worms in children scurvy, obstructions or stoppage, bilious fevers, sick fits, &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 has reduced the price to those who purchase largely above fifty per cent. Directions will be pasted 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. June 13.
