SPEECH Of Mr. Purviance, delivered in the house of representatives on Tuesday, the 25th ult. respecting a provision for carrying into effect the late treaty and convention with France.
Mr. Purviance. I am clearly and decidedly in favor of the resolution on your table, premising the appropriation for carrying the treaty between France and this country into effect; and I sincerely regret that in doing so I shall act adversely to the general sentiment of the gentlemen with whom I confess, with pleasure and with pride, I have hitherto politically associated. It is true I am, and always have been opposed to the general tenor of the present administration. It has not appeared to me to possess that bold, commanding aspect, that erect and resolute front, which ought to be assumed by the executive of a free people, when claiming satisfaction for a wrong sustained; it has not shown that strong, muscular, athletic shape, which is calculated to intimidate aggression or which is enabled to resist it; nor has it appeared to me to have demonstrated that firm, dignified, manly tone of virtue and of spirit, which resting on the love of a free people, and conscious of their strength, can ask for the prompt, direct, and unequivocal satisfaction to which it is entitled, and being denied, can take it; it has not appeared to me like the veteran chief, willing to gird his loins in defence of his country's rights, but (if I may use the magna componere parvis ) it has in my mind more resembled the militia subaltern, who directed his soldiers not to fire on the enemy, lest the enemy might fire again.
Under such an administration it has appeared to me better to obtain the ceded territory on any terms, than not to have it at all. If we do not possess the spirit or the means of doing ourselves justice, it were then better that we bribe those who are in a situation to molest us, and prevent them doing us an injury which we cannot or which we will not avenge. There are but two ways of maintaining our independence as a nation—men and money—since we did not use the first we must have recourse to the last. One of these two we should be compelled to resort to if France gained possession of Louisiana, and we had better resort to it now. I deny that they have as yet gained possession—they have not received any delivery of the four dedoubts which garrison and command the country, nor have they a single armed soldier there, except those few which are particularly attached to the equipage of the colonial prefect. If, sir, we were obliged to resort to the necessity of purchasing their friendship, after they had procured an establishment, it would not be confined to one instance of humiliation and acknowledgment, on our part, or one instance only of insult on theirs. If we purchased their friendship once, we should be compelled to make annual contributions to their avarice, and be annually subjected to their insolence. Repeated concessions would only produce a repetition of injury, and at last, when we had completely compromised our national dignity, and offered up our last cent as an oblation of Gallic rapacity, we should then be farther from conciliation than ever. The spirit of universal domination instead of being allayed by the means which had been used for its abatement, would rage with redoubled fury; elated with the sacrifices which had been intended to appease it, it would grow more fierce—it would soon stride across the Mississippi, and every encroachment which conquest or which cunning could effect might be expected; the tomahawk of the savage and the knife of the negro would confederate in the league, and there would be no interval of peace until we should either be able to drive them from their location altogether, or else offer up our sovereignty as an homage of our respect, and permit the name of our country to be blotted out of the list of nations forever.
I confess there are many gentlemen of that nation for whom I entertain the sincerest respect; but they will be so good as to pardon me when I observe, that although I love some of them as friends, I cannot like all of them as neighbours—Blood, havoc and devastation have for some years encircled their proximity, and circumstances equally disastrous, and equally improbable they have already achieved. Do we want any evidences of this truth? We can find them in Switzerland, in Italy, in Egypt, in Hanover, in France itself. We have seen the ancient throne of the Capets tumbled from its base; we have seen the tide of succession which had flowed on uninterruptedly for ages dammed up for ever; we have seen the sources of the life blood
royal drained dry: And by whom? By the pert younglings of the day. "An eagle towering in his pride of flight, "Was by a mousing owl hawed at and killed." We have afterwards seen these puny upstarts, when their hands had been reddened in the slaughter pens of Paris, kicked from their seats, and a Corsican soldier embellished with the majesty of the Bourbons. We have seen one half of the old world subjected to his dominion, and the other half alarmed at his power. And is it for America alone, sir, with an army scarcely sufficient for the defence of her garrisons, with a navy scarcely sufficient to punish a Bashaw, and with an executive who seems unwilling to strain our energies—is it, I say, sir, for America alone, under these circumstances, to withstand this gigantic nation, when fighting on her own ground, fed from her own granaries, and furnished from her own arsenals? The time once was when we were justifiable in redressing our wrongs, and had an opportunity of doing so; but this opportunity, and this necessity, I take it sir, have both passed away.
Yes, thank God, we need no longer apprehend any danger from that monstrous power which has alarmed the world. We have now a treaty signed by themselves in which they have voluntarily passed away all the means of annoyance which they possessed. But I do not thank the honorable gentleman who is at the head of our executive. At the time the negotiations for this treaty were commenced, there could be no hopes of its proving successful. The first consul had procured it probably for the purpose of carrying into effect what is supposed to be his favorite plan—universal domination. It gave to him the power of injuring the British, controlling the Spaniard, and perhaps of dismembering America; his fleet and army were ready to sail, and his colonial prefect had already arrived. But mark! at this particular crisis, the King of Great Britain, who, in this instance, I think the most able negotiator we had, declares war. The scene is now changed; that which France refused to our intercessions she was now compelled to grant from mere necessity. War took place, I believe, about the last of March, and the treaty was signed soon afterwards. As long as I retain the small share of understanding which God has given me, I shall never believe that it was owing in the smallest degree to the efficacy of diplomatic representation. The mind of that great man is not made of such soft materials as to receive an impress from the collision of every gentle hand; stern, collected, and inflexible, he laughs to scorn the toying arts of persuasion. His soul is a stupendous rock, which the rushing of mighty waters cannot shake from its place. No, sir, had it not been owing to this happy coincidence of circumstances, the personal solicitations of our ministers would have been regarded with as listless an ear as if they had been whispered across the ocean.
But whatever may have been the causes which produced the treaty I will vote for it; not on account of the advantages which we may promise ourselves from a sale of the unlocated land within the territory. I believe that from that source, we cannot hope for a reimbursement, as there is no doubt but that the most valuable parts have already been granted away by the Spaniards and by the French to their own citizens: nor do I see any restrictive provision in the treaty which would prevent the court of Paris from continuing to issue patents, up to the date of the exchange of ratifications.
There may however be other advantages or there may be disadvantages, which shrouded as I am in the gloom of uncertainty, for want of those means of intelligence, which, perhaps, others may resort to, but which has been withheld from us, I am unable to discern; but which may be observable to those who being more eminently situated, command a larger and clearer prospect. If the claim which we have purchased be invested with any latent embarrassment; if our possession should be opposed, or if our right of property should hereafter be contested, let the president look to it; he and he only will become responsible for every drop of American blood which may flow in consequence of such contests. For, if the French have not performed the stipulations of the treaty of St. Ildefonso, respecting the recognition of the late king of Etruria, and if such failure on their part has aroused in the Spanish court any spirit of opposition to the transfer we have obtained, we ought to be possessed of the information, that our discretion might be regulated accordingly. As we have received no information respecting the existence of such a spirit of hostility on the part of the court of Madrid to
this treaty, I will suppose that none such does exist, and in this belief I will vote for the treaty.
I would even vote for a larger appropriation than is now demanded for its effectuation, and I would do it for the same reason that a man would give an exorbitant price for a piece of land adjoining his own in order to prevent the settlement of a disorderly neighbor who he feared might plunder his property or burn his enclosures; and if this vote was the last public act of my life, I would sink into the grave under the pleasing impression, that as far as it regarded our posterity, it was perhaps the best.
CONGRESS OF THE  UNITED STATES.  HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. FRIDAY, November 4.
Mr. Early, in order to attract the attention of the House to a subject of some importance, that it might obtain an early decision, moved the following resolution.
Resolved, That the petition of John P. Randolph and Randolph M'Gillis in behalf themselves and others, presented to this House at the last session, together with the report of the Secretary of War, accompanied with sundry documents respecting claims against the United States, for services of the militia of Georgia, made the 6th of February 1803, and also the report of the select committee thereon, made on the 10th of the same month, be referred to the committee of claims.
Agreed to. Mr. Randolph invited the attention of the House to a subject of some importance to the revenue. Under an existing law a drawback of duties on goods exported to New Orleans was allowed. Should this act remain in force, goods sufficient to supply the Mississippi territory and the other western country for several years might be stored in the ware-houses of New Orleans, which on possession being taken by the United States, may be carried into the United States, thereby evading the payment of duties. He therefore moved a resolution for the repeal of that act.
Resolution agreed to, and referred to the committee of ways and means. A message was received from the Senate, stating that they had passed the act for the creation of a stock, as prescribed by the Louisiana treaty, with an amendment.
Referred to the committee of ways and means. A message was received from the President as follows:
To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States. "By the copy now communicated, of a letter from Captain Bainbridge of the Philadelphia frigate to our Consul at Gibraltar, you will learn that an act of hostility has been committed on a merchant vessel of the United States, by an armed ship of the Emperor of Morocco. This conduct, on the part of that power, is without cause and without explanation. It is fortunate that Captain Bainbridge fell in with, and took the capturing vessel and her prize; and I have the satisfaction to inform you that, about the date of this transaction, such a force would be arriving in the neighborhood of Gibraltar, both from the East and the West, as leaves less to be feared for our commerce from the suddenness of the aggression."
"On the fourth of September, the Constitution frigate, captain Preble, with Mr. Lear on board, was within two days sail of Gibraltar, where the Philadelphia would then be arrived with her prize; and such explanations would probably be instituted as the state of things required, and as might perhaps arrest the progress of hostilities."
"In the mean while, it is for Congress to consider the provisional authorities which may be necessary to restrain the depredations of this power, should they be continued."
"TH: JEFFERSON."
Referred to Messrs Eustis, J. Clay, Sands, M'Creery, and Duna. Mr. Newton said he held in his hand a resolution, which it was not wish his should be immediately acted upon, but at a future day. It would be recollected that during the last session the propriety of repealing the bankrupt law had come under the consideration of the house; but that, owing to the lateness of the day, its consideration had been postponed. As he was desirous that the subject should be investigated this season, he made the following motion:
Resolved, That the act entitled an act to establish an uniform system of bankruptcy throughout the United States ought to be repealed.
Referred to a committee of the whole, and made the order for the 21st inst.
Mr. Early said he held in his hand a manuscript copy of the original report of the commissioners who had settled the accounts between the United States and the several states; as a document, throwing much light on this subject, he moved that it might be printed.
Agreed to. Mr. Lyon called up his resolution for suspending the payment of duties on goods imported into the United States from Louisiana.
Referred to the committee of ways and means.

On motion of Mr. Dawson, a resolution laid by him on the table for continuing for years an act for augmenting certain salaries, was referred to a committee of the whole, and made the order for Monday next.  Mr. Elliot offered a resolution for the appointment of a committee to inquire whether any, and if any, what provision was necessary to be made to produce a more general circulation of copper coin through the United States.  Agreed to, and a committee of five appointed.
LONDON, September 20.  ALIENS. —The first embarkation of these persons took place at Gravesend on Friday last. They amounted to 100, among whom were only 2 refractory persons, who are confined on board a cutter in the river. Some foreigners choosing to pay their own passage, went on board of neutral vessels, and are to be landed either in France or Holland. The final embarkation takes place this day. Every accommodation is provided for their passage.  The following is an extract of a letter from on board his Majesty's ship Tonnant , cruising off Corunna: "Admiral de Winter, whom we were blocking up in Ferrol, has got out; his escape was favoured by the extreme darkness of the night. We, however, followed him as far as Madeira, but without effect. We are now with three sail of the line and the Naiad frigate, blockading five of the enemy's ships of the line and a frigate, in the harbor of Corunna. We have been very unlucky, not having captured a prize since we left England."
NORFOLK, November 3.  Arrived the British brig Charlotte , capt. Anderson, 20 days from Antigua, junk and copper; C. and F. Whittle. The brig Hoppet , capt. Lucas, 33 days from Antigua; the Commerce , Lawson, is arrived at Gravesend; as is the Aberdeen , Blair, at Falmouth, both from Virginia.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser.  TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8.
From a Correspondent at Washington.  No stronger proof can be given of the bad effect of such publications as the Aurora , and its reflectors, than in the universal corruption of good manners induced by their perusal. The common stile of Duane , Chestham , and some others of that class, is every way the reverse of what would become gentlemen; yet such ascendancy have these persons acquired over those who read them, that this very language has found its way even into our Senate . An instance of this was afforded a few days ago by an Honorable Gentleman from New York (Mr. Clinton) who in replying to Mr. Dayton, in language no doubt perfectly parliamentary , observed that what he, Mr. D. had said was unfounded —Not satisfied with this, he, sometime after, reverting to the same topic, added to his former politeness the assertion of that what Mr. D. had said, was untrue , when the course of debate required Mr. Dayton again to address the house, he took occasion to observe, that he had avoided noticing the language of the honorable member from New York, as respect to the senate forbade him from replying to such rudeness and indecency, in the terms they demanded: hinting that he should find a proper time a proper place and a proper manner of remarking upon them.
It may be supposed that General Dayton kept his word, Report says, that immediately after the adjournment, he sent a card to Mr. Clinton requesting an explanation of what he had said. No answer was returned. In the evening, however, two honorable gentlemen waited on the general with a project of accommodation; but such an one as it appears he did not think proper to accede to; still demanding an explanation .—About 11 o'clock in the evening, it is said, a certain honorable senator conveyed a message to Mr. C. the nature of which may be conjectured. Mr. C. finally consented to explain , (the readers of British parliamentary debates will know what is meant when a member explains ) and the next morning a letter was read before the senate (Mr. C. having departed for N. York) declaring that in the language he had used, he had not intended the slightest imputation upon the veracity of General Dayton, &c. &c. This is called the amende honorable , and of course was fully satisfactory to that gentleman, and to his friends.  Such rudeness of attack, however, as Mr. Clinton was on this occasion guilty of, added to other instances which have heretofore occurred in our legislative assemblies, offer no very gratifying reflection. But it is not to be wondered at. A man's language will generally partake of the character of his readings. And when we perceive such publications as I have already alluded to, spread upon the desks of so great a majority of the members of both houses, it would not be at all surprising, if, in the progress of a motion at present depending, for excluding certain characters from the privilege of attending their deliberations, they should make a rule to forbid good-breeding from entering within the bar.

Captain Adams arrived at Newburyport in 45 days from Gibraltar, informs that when he left there, war had not been formally declared, but that the Spanish government were in daily expectation of the event. They were making every preparation, and were in a good state of defence; the English were continually off the Spanish ports picking out and capturing their merchant-
men. No person was admitted within the gates of the city of Gibraltar without a pass. Captain Adams waited on Consul Gavino, as long as he could tarry, in order to be the bearer of dispatches to government, but was obliged to sail without them.
For the Alexandria Daily Advertiser.  ELIZA—A FRAGMENT.
'Twas the lovely blooming Eliza, bending o'er the form of a female in the last stage of the late distressing epidemic, which attracted my attention. Humanity had triumphed o'er fear in a bosom truly feminine; had converted the timid maiden into a heroine, whose actions were worthy being recorded on vellum of adamantine-firmness, by a pen plucked from the wing of the high flying Eagle on Fames loud clarion waited. That Columbia's daughters might hear, and say one to another; since worth is of more estimation than wealth, the garb of innocence preferable to arts most sumptuous apparel; beneficence to the proud and selfish minded—let us likewise endeavour to reanimate the heart, withered by the bleak winds of affliction; be the kind consolers of the destitute widow and orphan's anguish; that this mail of Erin may not surpass us in her excellencies, may not rival us in the admiration of the youth foremost in the ranks of honor. In endeavouring to place the pillow in a more comfortable situation, an arm of lily whiteness encircled the neck of the almost expiring, while large crystalline drops of heavenly commissarion coursed each other from their azure orbs, giving the glistening cheek the beauteous appearance of a newly expanded rose washed in the silver dew of ethereal May. How amiable then appeared the interesting Eliza! how much did she resemble a consoling angel sent to administer to the broken-hearted; at last she seemed to belong to another world, to a more exalted order of beings; tender was her voice as the moaning of the dove of the desert; and beauteous did fancy paint her, as the famed flower of Irem. O ye monarchs! ye potentates of the earth! I exclaimed, the parents of Eliza possess a jewel of more intrinsic value, than your scepters, your crowns, your most gorgeous diadems, though glittering with spoils pillaged from the mines of Golconda! Your rubies, your amethysts, your topazes, translucent gold, opals, crysolites, sumptuous purple and state equipages would cease to be distinguished, near the tender the gentle unadorned Eliza.

LINES  ADDRESSED TO AN OFFICER IN THE BRITISH ARMY.  BY A LADY.  O THAT the Muse might call without offence, The gallant soldier back to his good sense! His temporal field so cautious not to lose! So careless quite of his eternal foes! Soldier! so tender of thy Prince's fame, Why so profuse of a superior name? For the King's sake, the brunt of battles bear; But, for the King of Kings's sake—do not swear.

ROBERT and JOHN GRAY HAVE JUST RECEIVED, From Messrs. Stokes and Co's Patent and Family Medicine Store, Mount Pleasant, New York, and for sale at their book store, King street, A SUPPLY OF Family & Patent Medicines, -consisting of-
Chambaud's Antasthmatic Lozenges; Acne and Fever Drops; Antibilious Pills; Anodyne Essence for Head Aches; Reanimating Solar Tincture; Dr. Bardwell's genuine Eye Water; di- kinson'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 secre- tion of this fluid may be, yet a distension of it in the circulation is known, from its putrescent qua- lities, 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, deserve- ing the notice of all persons going to the West Indies, or any of those places infected with these fevers. Dr. Hunter has every possible rea- son, that can result from long and extensive expe- rience, for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every fourteen days, during the pre- valence 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 suc- ceed in restoring health, and frequently in cases esteemed desperate and beyond the power of com- mon remedies.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, may be used with safety by persons in every situa- tion and of every age.
In sickly times and places a dose should be taken once a fortnight, and if there is reason to appre- hend personal danger, once a week.
Observe, that the signatures of Messrs. Thos. Stokes and Co. are affixed to each box, without which mark of authenticity they are not genuine.
MATRIMONY.
IT is much to be regretted but indisputably certain, that many persons of both sexes are deterred from enter- ing into the married state, by Secret Infirmitates, which decency forbids them to disclose; and there are not a few who being already married, are rendered miserable for want of those tender pledges of mutual love, without which happiness in this state is at least very precarious. It has been ascertained beyond a doubt that those circum- stances are occasioned by general or partial relaxation or weakness in either sex, and it is equally certain that the genuine AROMATIC LOZENGES OF STEEL are the best and the only remedy ever discovered for this species of debility. When taken into the Stomach, they immediately dissolve and diffuse themselves like a vapor through every pore, producing effects at once delightful, salutary and permanent. When the spark of life begins to glow dim, the circulation stagnates, and the faculties paralyzed, these Lozenges are found to give tone to the nerves, exhilarate the animal spirits, invigorate the body, and re-animate the whole man. When aversion to exer- cise, loss or depravity of appetite, and palid countenance, indicate approaching consumption, the delicate female will be preserved and restored to health and society by the benign influence of this medicine. When the delusions of imagination, or the force of bad example, have tempted unguarded youth into the dangerous labyrinth of secret fertility, debilitated his body, and impaired his under- standing, these Lozenges will protect him from lingering disease, the infirmities of premature old age, and a wretch- ed dissolution and the agonizing reflections of conscious guilt. When the sons and daughters of dissipation have brought on themselves debility, relaxation, imbecility, and a long train of nervous affections, manifested by im- paired memory, anxiety, agitation, trepidation, languor, paleness, emaciation, inattention, apathy in men; hyste- rics, spasms, loss of appetite, irregularity, weakness, abor- tion, pains in the back, &c. &c. in women; these lozen- ges will restore health and vigour to the debilitated frame, and cheerfulness and animation to the mind.
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 signature of Messrs. Thos. Stokes and Co. are affixed to each packet, without which mark of authenticity, they are not genuine.
Dr. Atkinson's genuine Essence of Mustard.
Rheumatism in every stage, instantly subsides to its pe- netrating 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 generally excites a tingling sen- sation; it removes the cause of pain, by bringing on a cir- culation in the parts affected; by this means, frozen
limbs, the severest sprains and bruises, old strains and re- laxations, are generally cured by a few applications. The genuine is distinguished from counterfeits, by the signa- ture of Thomas Stokes and Co. being fixed to each bot- tle; without which mark of authenticity, none are genu- ine.
The genuine Scotch Itch Ointment. The only medicine that cures this disagreeable disease, by one application, so many hands having experienced its efficacy; it is unnecessary to add any more arguments in its favor, but to caution the public that the name Tho- mas 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; spee- dily removes inflammation, dimness, itching, and films; it never fails to cure those maladies which frequently dis- cceed the measles, small-pox, and fever; and is an un- paralleled strengthener of a weak sight.
Dr. Hunter's genuine Antibilious Pills. An agreeable and certain preventative of the predispo- sition to inflammatory and malignant fever, which prevails at particular seasons of the year. The rapid and increasing demand from every part of the United States, and the West India islands, is the best evidence of their superior excellence.
CHAMBAUD'S Antasthmatic Lozenges. A radical cure for coughs, colds, asthma and con- sumptions, 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 perspira- tion that they generally are eradicated in a few hours. Coughing, being prolonged by that convul- sive symptom termed the tickling in the throat, it shortens its duration by promoting sleep and streng- thening the constitution. Pulmonary complaints, af- fecting the breast and lungs; those affected with them experience an almost immediate relief. Ast- hmas and confined consumptions 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 admini- stered at an improper season.
Dr. BARDWELL'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 presumpti- on in the Proprietor, to say, that Head Aches, aris- ing from whatever cause, or however violent, in- stantly submit to its penetrating powers. This in- valuable Anodyne, has frequently succeeded after the best advice, and every other remedy had fail- ed; 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 Anti-Bilious Pills are unquestion- ably 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 per- sons of character and respectability are open to the ex- amination 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 any thing which can be said of it.
Where also may be had, Atkinson's Worm destroying Lozenges.—These Lo- zenges not only destroy worms where they exist, but ef- fectually prevent their return. These 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 these 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 desisted relying her till of late. Hearing of some surprising cures being per- formed by Atkinson's worm destroying Lozenges, we purchased a packet of them, and administered them ac- cording to the directions. The first dose brought away only one worm, and with it a quantity of slimy, efflu- ent 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, Cholic and Di- sentry.
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 aforementioned, derive their origin from the same cause, indirect debility, or consequent weakness, the analogy of their source, by a natural in- ference 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 proprietor can confidently recommend, as one of the most certain, efficacious, and pleasant re- medies 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, faith- fully prepared at the original warehouse, Lon- don.
This incomparable medicine has stood the test of universal approbation in Europe for near an hun- dred years, in the cure and prevention of,
Loss of appetite, bad digestion, windy cholic, surfeits, hysterical vapours, faintness and trembling, ague and fever, depressed spirits, foul breath, worms in children, scurvy, obstructions or stop- ages, bilious fevers, sick fits, &c. &c.
These Bitters being now generally used in taverns and public places, and universally acknow- ledged 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 paid on the Bottles, and which will be also sealed, in order to detect counterfeits and artful pretenders, who will all tell you, they make the genuine Stoughton's Bit- ters; and in order to impose their trash on the pub- lic, they sometimes copy a part of the true adver- tisement 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 ear- nestly recommended to a trial. Few are the cases in which it has not been of great service, and very often produced a complete cure.
Copious directions for the use of the Specific Drops for Deafness are sealed up with each bottle. Price one dollar.
