BOSTON, November 21.
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
London papers to the 29th September have been received at Portland, by the arrival at that place of the ship Eliza, capt. Salter, in 45 days from Liverpool. A paper of the latest date, has reached town, containing much interesting matter on the subject of continental affairs. From the various documents through which the material points of intelligence are received, it appears, that the several powers, being prepared for action, are desirous of shewing to the world that their cause is founded in justice, and impelled by necessity. The documents are few in number, viz. two notes from M. Talleyrand to the Austrian Minister at Paris, the answer of Austria to these notes, and a declaration of the Court of Russia, to that of Austria. Of the two former, a clear and distinct analysis is given in the following summary and remarks, which we have extracted from Bell's Weekly Messenger, and which contain besides this necessary elucidation, many other comments on the whole series of papers, that cannot fail of proving interesting to the reader. We have preferred this mode to any abstract or comment we could have given on the subject.
From Bell's (London) Messenger.
STATE PAPERS.
Every thing in appearance, perhaps in appearance only, seems approaching to the long expected point of a general war. The Allied Powers at length employ the only effectual tone, moderate in language, but determined as to the end. The French Court has yielded some of its usual diplomatic haughtiness. Perhaps this preliminary concession, for such it really is in a power which has hitherto held no other language than that of contempt and menace, may lead to an event as yet unexpected, and in newspaper metaphor, the cloud may yet revolve unbroken to its Northern source. It is no miracle in the present state of Europe to see mighty causes terminate in insignificant effects. The next mails may bring peace or battle. So imminent, but so equal is the crisis.
It is impossible to read with due attention the several manifestoes, and official correspondence, without admiration of their unusual style. There is nothing passionate, vehement, or acrid. By a singular and truly French dexterity an enemy is converted into a mediator, and Talleyrand returns his thanks to the Emperor of Germany for his kind mediation with Russia, and consoles with him, that the private views of Russia has baffled their joint efforts. What is intended inference from this finesse?—Why, that it is not the interest or the wish of the Emperor of Austria to commence the war, but that Russia has compelled him; that the French armies are marching to relieve Europe from the general enemy of peace, the Northern Interloper and that if Bonaparte and the Emperor of Germany were left to themselves, the peace of Europe, and the glory of the French Empire would remain forever undisturbed.
In a point of this importance, however, we will not venture to direct the public judgment. We shall content ourselves with exhibiting the question fully and distinctly before them—and to this end, abstracting all the main points from the extraneous matter, we call their serious attention and leave them to their own conclusion.
The first paper, in point of order is the declaration of Talleyrand, delivered on the 13th of August.
The most material part of this declaration is that which expresses the sentiments of the French court, with respect to Russia, England and Prussia. This part is very important, as it bears upon the main question, negotiation or war.
Of Russia, the declaration thus speaks: "Instead of being desirous of peace, she finds her interest only in war, and founds on its renovation, hopes which she in vain endeavors to conceal. For a twelvemonth past, the French emperor has received nothing but insults from the Russian cabinet. Being thus attacked in his honor, he has no longer any thing to expect or require of Russia."
As to England—
"It is not to be hoped such a power would listen to the advice of moderation & justice. The voice of persuasion will here avail nothing. The court of St. James' will not think of peace till it has lost all hope of setting the continent in flames, and covering Italy with blood and carnage."
As to Prussia—
"Prussia has declared at all times that she will in no case enter into any hostile project against France." The declaration then concludes with calling on Austria for the assurance of her neutrality. "A peace will then be the desire and hope of England, and the treaty of Amiens will be restored before the mouth of January. The Crowns of France and Italy will then be separated forever."
Such is the analysis of the declaration of the 13th. We cannot but think that it leads to those important conclusions, that France is fully persuaded that Russia is unalterably bent upon war—that she is equally persuaded that Prussia will remain neutral—but that Austria who is necessarily the principal, and without whom the other allies are nothing, is wavering.
These conclusions are just; one or the other of these alternatives will occur; either Russia will be compelled by the wavering of Austria, to negotiate instead of fighting, or Austria, impelled forward by the bolder policy of Russia, but rendered reluctant by her apprehensions, will struggle for delay, which will be encouraged by the French intrigue, and the assistance of Russia thus rendered nugatory.
The declaration of the 13th of August is followed by another of Talleyrand's, of the 16th of the same month. The substance of this, is to demand that the regiments of Austria in the Tyrol shall be reduced to the peace establishment. It appears, officially from this paper, that Austria has 70,000 men in Italy, as it appears from the following that France has an equal number. This declaration concludes with an affectation of candor and political innocence, in a compliment and appeal to prince Charles. An English sailor would term this French palaver.
There is no inference to be drawn from this paper, except that Italy is less unprepared than has been imagined, that Venice is fortified, and the Tyrol, Styria, and Carinthia in a state of defence. In a word, that every thing is prepared for an active campaign.
These two declarations calling for an explanation from the emperor of Austria, were delivered to the Austrian Minister, the one on the 13th, the latter on the 16th, of Aug. On the 21st of the same month, and previous to any answer from the court of Vienna, the Russian Minister delivered at Vienna, the declaration of the emperor of Russia. This was doubtless intended as the first to answer the French demand. This declaration is the most important of the whole collection, and we request our readers to give it the most serious attention. It forcibly exhibits the two most essential points—the wavering between war and negotiation of the court of Vienna, and the fixed, inflexible resolution of Russia to enforce her claim by war, or if submitting to a negotiation, to maintain a state of armed truce, while the articles are settling.
The present character of the court of St. Petersburg, simple, absolute and vigorous, may be fully collected from this able and manly document. The Emperor considers himself as under the solemn obligation of rescuing the states of Europe from French predominance, "of affording them not an illusory, but an effective, immediate and energetic assistance." He will not recommence the negotiation under any circumstance, until he has placed himself in a situation to be enabled to assist his allies at the moment when they may be attacked. To this end he has caused to march two armies of 50,000 men each, through Galicia to the Danube, as a measure of precaution, in order to combine the support of a powerful army of observation with the negotiations for peace, which army would be in a situation to prevent all further aggressions during the period of pacification, and to secure at its completion, Austria, and all the neighboring powers, against any further attack on the part of France.
This is indeed as it should be. A peace thus procured will satisfy every power in Europe.
This declaration of Russia is followed by the court of Vienna's answer, of the 3d of September, to the French declarations of the 13th and 16th August. There is in this declaration a very singular passage. Our readers will do us the justice to remember that we never gave into the cry of invasion, and that we boldly declared it as our opinion that Bonaparte employed it only as a pretext for collecting an army for very different purposes. Such is the evident insinuation of the following passage in the Austrian declaration.
"The Emperor of Austria arms not with hostile views. He arms not to operate a diversion against a landing in England. Besides, the execution of this descent, after two years of menace, does not seem to be exactly calculated to the present moment."
The whole of this declaration is so well worthy of serious attention, that in justice to our readers we shall give no extracts. The object of the war is here distinctly stated.
"The Emperor arms not with hostile purpose. He arms only for the maintenance of the peace existing between him and France, the peace of Luneville. He arms for the maintenance of those pacific stipulations without which peace would be illusory."

STATE OF EUROPE.
A German writer has just published an interesting article on the state of the powers of Europe; and the following is the substance of it, as given in the Courant of Mentz:
At the commencement of the war of the French revolution, which must be considered as the cause of those changes which have produced the present situation of Europe, Russia possessed a territory of three hundred thousand square miles, a population of twenty six millions, and a revenue of seven Millions of louis d'or.
The territory of Austria was 11,149 square miles, her population twenty five millions, and her revenue four million of louis d'or.
Prussia had a territory of 3,000 square miles a population of six millions and a revenue of four millions of louis d'or.
The remaining territories of the German empire comprised an extent of twelve thousand square miles, containing twenty six millions of inhabitants, and produced a revenue of nine millions of louis d'or.
The territory of Great Britain was estimated at six thousand and thirty six square miles, the population at nine million and the revenue at seventeen millions of louis d'or.
Russia had gained a territory of 7035 square miles, a population of five millions, and an increase of revenue equal to three millions of Rix dollars, by the last acquisitions in Poland only. This is entirely independent of her late acquisitions in Asia, America and the Adriatic, of her conquest of the Crimea, and by what she obtained by the former partition of Poland in 1772.
Austria lost by the cession of the Netherlands only; four hundred and seventy-four square miles, one million five hundred thousand inhabitants, and a revenue of 8 million of Guilders; and in all, by the cession of Lombardy, Frickthal, the Brisgau, and Artenau, without reckoning the country of Falkenstein, six hundred & seventy three square miles, 2,689,760 subjects and nine million one hundred and twenty five thousand six hundred and sixty three florins of revenue. She has gained by the acquisition of Venetian, Istria and Dalmatia, Independent of the Bishopric of Trent and Briren, five hundred square miles. Her population is therefore nearly the same as it was before the war.
Prussia lost about 42 square miles of territory, 172,137 inhabitants, and a revenue of 128,249 louis d'or. She acquired by the partition of Poland, 2,053 square miles, and 2,975,700 inhabitants; besides, by the addition of Hildesheim, Paterborn, Erfurt, Etchfeldt, Munster, &c. Some artificial accounts, make the present territory of the Prussian states amount to 6000 square miles, the population to 9,000,000, and the revenue to 6 millions of louis d'or; but this estimate is rather exaggerated.
The acquisitions of England cannot at present be easily estimated, as her possessions are daily increasing, and she may be said to keep an equal pace with Russia, as to acquisitions. Her Indian possessions are extensive, and of an incalculable value; but her principal power arises out of her commerce; and the industry of her population.
France possessed before the war 10,000 square miles, 26 millions of inhabitants, and 19 millions of louis d'or of revenue. She now possesses 12,160 square miles, 32 millions of population, and 24 millions of revenue. Her principal acquisitions are.
   Sq. miles Inhabitants     Savoy 83 280,000   Nice 52 93,000   Piedmont 532 2,357,000   Belgium, and the departments on the Rhine 1200 3,900,000   Genoa 90 350,000  
There are, besides, immediately under the dominions of France, Parma, Piacenza and Guastella, with a population of 250,000; and the kingdom of Italy, with a territory of 749 square miles, and 3,360,000 inhabitants, without taking Lucca and Piombino into the account. It must however, still be considered that France can dispose of her allies, and also of other neighbouring states, as she pleases; that Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, the greater part of Italy not included in Bonaparte's kingdom. Holland and a considerable portion of Germany, are under her control, the power of that empire is therefore immense.
Spain has a territory of 9,277 square miles, and 10,000,000 of inhabitants—Holland possesses a territory of 625 square miles, with 2,500,000 of inhabitants; and both powers are directly dependent on France. If therefore, we include all the states, mediately or immediately, under the dominion of France, we shall find that she has at her disposal a population equal to 50,000,000.

COMMERCE WITH G. BRITAIN.
No. II.
It is impossible to indulge our contempt and indignation at the timid, unforecasting policy of our cabinet, without thinking of the days of Washington. Never were two men more un-...
No sooner had the war between France and England commenced in seventeen hundred and ninety three, than Washington issued his wise, his truly wise proclamation of neutrality. The ground of a fair neutrality was decidedly taken, and faithfully maintained. Mad as our people were for France, for impious sanguinary France, this early, explicit and solemn claim of our neutral rights, from both the belligerents, no doubt preserved our peace, because whilst it contributed to restrain many excesses of our Frenchified rabble, it served as a seasonable & official apology for them all. Yet such was the influence and money too of Genet, and such the business of the democratic affiliated clubs, that privateers were fitted out in our ports in defiance of law, to cruise against British property, and juries were packed in Philadelphia to acquit the offenders. The case of Gideon Henfield is a memorable proof that in one thousand seven hundred and ninety three, mob law was stronger than the federal authority. A French faction in congress eagerly contested the passing of a law to, restrain these disgraceful and perilous enormities.
In this state of things, pretending a French violation within and a British war without, Washington nobly preferred his duty to his popularity. He sent Mr. Jay to claim justice, and resolved if that application failed to seek it in arms. Every non-federalist echoed his language and said 'justice or war.' The French party not in the least interested to get justice, chose to make war on common honesty. Confiscated debts was their cry. Of ships we want none, of taxes we have too many. Let Britain make war on the persons and effects of British merchants on the Exchange.
The naval power of Great Britain was then recently invested, by Lord Howe's Victory, with the uncontested empire of the sea. Britain had then powerful allies and France was depressed. Yet not one of the claims of that country, beyond the found construction of the maritime law of nations, was admitted by Mr. Jay or sanctioned by Washington.
So many solid defences of the treaty successfully appeared, that even the sophistry of faction was confounded and silenced. America after a period of infatuation, soberly returned to her senses and to an approbation of the treaty.
After many years experience of the gainful security of our commerce in consequence of that treaty, our country would be guilty of ingratitude worse than the sin of witchcraft, to refuse to the memory of Washington all the honors that are due to the firm patriot and the able statesman. Time has set his everlasting seal to the fame of that man as a chief magistrate. For seven years after the treaty Great Britain never deserted from her claim of obstructing our trade with the colonies of her enemies, but nevertheless, she either forbore to exercise or consented to pay damages for the captures made in consequence. Several millions of dollars have accordingly been actually received by our citizens. Yet this was the infamous British Treaty, as the ignorant scribblers of faction affect to term it, while they consider the sacrifice of our rights to France and Spain and the payment or relinquishment of millions, as the glorious work of Mr. Jefferson.
Since the renewal of the war in 1803, the British claim of restricting our intercourse with the colonies of her enemies has been openly asserted. The instructions of June 1803 direct the British armed vessels to permit Americans to pass the seas without molestation, in case they are employed in transporting produce directly from the enemies colonies to the United States. Hence it is a thing officially certain that our administration has known for more than two years, viz. ever since the summer of 1803, that in case of any American vessels being found transporting such merchandise to any belligerent or to any other than an American port, she would be liable to capture and condemnation.
If in this long period of hazard to our navigation Mr. Jefferson has done nothing, has instructed Mr. Monroe to ask no explanations, to make no remonstrances or representations to the British court; but has waited for the evil to grow up to its full size, as we now behold it, the public indignation will inevitably swell into utterance. Party may wish to save his fame, but it will be impossible. The orders or instructions of June 1803 have been published we believe in the National Intelligencer. He cannot with any success stoop to plead ignorance, for instructions, if not officially communicated to all the foreign ministers, at the Court of London, yet were undoubtedly published in the London Gazette.
To this point the public will pin its attention. Mr. Jefferson either acquiesces in the restriction of our commerce according to those instructions, or he does not. If he does acquiesce, then let us hear no more of the infamous British Treaty,
for neither Mr. Jay nor Washington acquiesced in any such thing. Let us hear no more puffs of "respected abroad."
If he disclaims the British maritime principles, then let him tell the world how he has asserted and how he intends to maintain our neutral rights. Are our plundered merchants to be protected, or is Samuel H. Smith to wage a war of invective in the National Intelligencer, to shew to wondering Europe that as we lose our cargoes we resume our feelings, and that though we had not the foresight to remonstrate and want the courage to fight, we have all the dispositions and qualifications to rail.

DOVER, September 23.
The American schooner Eliza and Katy of Philadelphia which had been detained by the Polecat privateer, of this harbour, J. Thompson master, about three weeks ago with an American ship, as mentioned in a former letter, left the harbour this tide for Rotterdam, the place of her destination, having received her discharge and certificate of clearance from the court of admiralty. She was laden with sugar and coffee, said to be from Baltimore, but suspected of coming directly from some of the French West India Islands; the majority of her crew were native Blacks; she had three whites on board except the Captain. They had been imprisoned for some misdemeanor; or upon their release, they entered into His Majesty's service, and were carried on board the Ariadne. The schooner having cleared the inner harbour, and taken her pilot on board, had proceeded through the outward, to the Pier, when she gave three cheers, twice repeated, in exultation of her delivery; but this triumph was not of long duration.
Two Lieutenants of the Ariadne, who had been on shore for the three men who had entered, immediately put off from the quay, in their jolly-boat, in pursuit of her; and, at the same moment, the Puritan privateer, belonging to this port, William Guy, Commander, got under weigh for the same purpose; the sch't being a remarkable fast sailor, kept to windward for near half a league, when the boat of the Ariadne fired four musket shots at her, without bringing her to, when the Courier cutter, then in the Roads, followed the boat's example, and fired two gun shots; she then hove to, and the Ariadne instantly weighed her anchor, and came up with her; and, having sent a boat on board of her to overhaul her, both put about and returned to these Roads, where they still remain, being accompanied by the privateer during the whole time. It is generally understood, that some recent information had transpired, through some of the men who entered on detention. Two thirds of the cargo of the ship which was sent in along with her, as already mentioned, have been condemned and being from the same port, and for the same destination, some suspicion attaches to her.
September 27.
The American schooner the Eliza and Katy, detained by the boats of the Ariadne frigate, as mentioned in a former letter, has come into the inner harbour; it is expected, that not only the cargo, which is sugar and coffee but the vessel will be condemned as enemy's property.
NAPLES, August 13.
No new shocks followed the tremendous earthquake of the 26th of July, and the public mind became somewhat more tranquil. Within these few days, however a violent noise was heard in Vesuvius, which indicated a fresh scene of horror.
The inhabitants of the towns of Torre del Greco and Annunziata, situated at the foot of the Mountain, fled with the most valuable of their property. Yesterday, about half past nine o'clock at night, an extremely violent eruption of Vesuvius took place, from the crater which was opened in the year 1794.
The lava quickly spread over the plain, to the distance of four Italian miles, and proceeded towards the sea, which it reached about three in the morning. It divided at its origin, in two branches, one menaced Portici, but fortunately turned off again, and united with the other branch; so that the fiery stream formed a kind of Island.
At the spot where it discharged itself into the sea suddenly arose a promontory of volcanic matter. The whole of the district covered with lava was in a flame for twenty minutes, and exhibited an awfully magnificent Spectacle; the blazing trees burning with a white, and the lava with a red flame. When the river of lava reached the sea it began to foam horribly & vast whirls of water and fire produced by the two contending elements, were presented to the eye of the spectator. Many of the inhabitants of Portici saved themselves by water
But the place remained uninjured by the lava; though its current passed so near it not a single person perished. It is hoped that this eruption of the volcano, will secure us from farther earthquakes.
The damage sustained by the vineyards from the torrent of Lava is estimated at sixty thousand ducats, many naturalists are of opinion that, several provinces of the kingdom are entirely undermined, and that they will consequently sink at some future period, and be overwhelmed by the sea.

DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obstinate Coughs, Asthma, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and approaching Consumption.
To Parents who may have children afflicted with the HOOPING COUGH,
This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it is an immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable. The Elixir is so perfectly agreeable and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.
From LUTHER MARTIN, Esq. Attorney-General of the State of Maryland.
Gentlemen, I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir. It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever colds, coughs, or similar complaints have rendered medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast accompanied with torments and with obstructed and difficult breathing. On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir, as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN.
Mr. Abijah Henry, Bridge-Street, Baltimore, was cured by one bottle of Hamilton's Elixir of a very complicated disorder, occasioned by a severe cold caught several months ago. He breathed with the greatest difficulty, and was often thrown into weakening sweats when he attempted to walk any distance, and his voice would frequently fail in such a degree that he could only attempt to whisper. He has been upwards of six weeks without a return of his complaints and desires to give this public testimony in favor of this invaluable medicine.
Dr. Hamilton's GRAND RESTORATIVE,
Is recommended as an invaluable medicine, for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures—juvenile indiscretions—evidence in climates unfavorable to the constitution—the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the unskillful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females at a certain period of life—bad lying in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of
  Nervous Disorders,  Violent cramps in the    Consumptions,  Stomach and back;    Lowness of spirits,  Indigestion,    Loss of appetite,  Melancholy,    Impurity of the blood,  Gout in the stomach,    Hysterical affections,  Pains in the limbs,    Inward weaknesses,  Relaxations,    Seminal weaknesses,  Involuntary emissions,    Pluribus (or whites)  Obstinate gleets,    Barrenness,  Impotency, &c. &c.  
In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impoverishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no nourishment or cordial could repair, a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE AND EXTRACT OF MUSTARD,
A safe and effectual remedy for gout, rheumatism, palsy, pains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. And has performed more cures in the above complaint than all the other medicines ever before made public.
From Dr. Weatherburn, Wythe county, Virginia.
GENTLEMEN;
I purchased at your shop the preparations you call Hamilton's Essence, or Extract of Mustard, which I believe has perfectly removed a chronic rheumatism (of that kind named sciatica, or of the hip joint) under which I had labored for a long time, and which had baffled every article in the Materia Medica, and every mode of treatment received into practice for the cure of this obstinate disease. If you think this letter useful you are at liberty to make it public.
Yours, &c.
W. WEATHERBURN.
Johns Hoover, rope maker, South Second street, between Mary and Christian streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily maketh oath as follows, namely,
That his wife, Mary Hoover, was so severely afflicted with a violent rheumatism, very dangerously situated the consequence of a severe cold after lying in, as to be confined to her bed for several weeks, and was at length reduced to the melancholy apprehension of remaining a cripple for life, notwithstanding the most respectable medical advice was followed, and every probable remedy attempted: when seeing several cases of cures performed by Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard, they were procured from Mr. Bice, No. 17, South Second street. The first application enabled her to walk across the room, and the use of one bottle restored her to her usual state of health and strength.

HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES,
Which have within four years past cured upwards of one hundred and twenty thousand persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from worms, and from obstructions or fulness in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever of similar title, so commonly complained of as operating with violence: on the contrary, a particular excellence of this medicine is its being suited to every age and constitution & contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is
complied in its operation that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old should no worms exist in the body, but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. They are particularly efficacious in carrying off all gross humors and corruptions; feverish and bilious complaints, and the least and mildest purgative that can be used on the occasion.
Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Paces or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short flat, white worm, and lastly, the Tania or tape worm so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and is full of joints—it is most hurtful and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted urine—itching in the nose and about the seat—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—starting and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purging, with slimy and foetid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms should have immediate recourse to Hamilton's worm destroying lozenges, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally during the warm season will effectually prevent the vomiting and purging of children, a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands of the infant part of our cities. It is likewise the mildest and most certain remedy known and has restored to health and strength a great number when in advanced stages of this fatal complaint. Particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the necessary treatment in such cases.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness, having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
CASES OF CURES—
By Hamilton's
WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, (Selected from thousands) the authenticity of which any person may ascertain either by letter or personal application.
TAPE WORM.
Mr. SAMUEL FULLER, Inn keeper, on the Harford road, ten miles from Baltimore, began about twenty months ago to be grievously afflicted with a tape worm, which increased fast in size and strength, so as to excite the most horrid sensations by his writhing motions and intolerable pains, resembling the gnawing and tearing of his bowels, which deprived him of his necessary sleep, and caused such dreadful apprehensions as cannot be conceived, but by one in a similar situation—his appetite wasted rapidly, and with that his strength, so that he was unable to attend to any business—when he heard of some excellent cures performed by Hamilton's worm lozenges, he took a large dose, which brought away about FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the possession of Lee, & Co.) but a renewal of his pains soon convinced him that this monstrous reptile was recovered its first vigor—Application was made to Lee & Co. for more of their medicine, with their advice, from which resulted the total expulsion of his formidable enemy, in several pieces, which he supposed to be SIX or EIGHT YARDS more. A few months have since elapsed, and Mr. Fuller is now in perfect health. The above facts are well known to a numerous circle of his neighbors, and himself will testify to any who may wish to make further inquiries on the subject. Although Hamilton's worm lozenges produce such powerful effects, when necessary, yet they are perfectly innocent and mild in their operation on the human body, even taken in large doses, as Mr. Fuller will testify—their particular mildness is abundantly evident in innumerable cures of infants.
Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, York town, Pennsylvania.
Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOLTHER minister of the Moravian church, in York town. York, January 4th, 1802.
DEAR SIR,
Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recommended to me as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms, I procured a box for the use of my family, to try whether by means of this medicine I might be enabled to gain a point, which, to accomplish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very restless at night, grew leaner from time to time; in short, he seemed to be in a precarious state of health, which would yield to none of the medicines administered, until I gave him two doses of lozenges, agreeably to the directions, which carried off a substance to all appearance a mere mucus but upon close inspection quite repletes with very small living animals. Not one of that sort of worms which usually infest children came from him. Since that period he grew remarkably better in health, and though lean, has got a fresh and lively complexion. Upon different occasions I have used this medicine as a purging furniture, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly ache, or any other disagreeable sensation, is often occasioned by purging medicines. Upon the whole I judge this medicine to be, besides its main object, one of the most salutary means for restoring lost appetite, and promoting a proper state of digestion, by carrying off that bilious substance, which engenders so much indisposition both among children and adults.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant,
JOHN MOLTHER.
