WASHINGTON, CITY, October 21.
Yesterday at about 5 o'clock P. M. the Senate ratified the LOUISIANA TREATY; twenty four votes in the affirmative, and seven in the negative; there were eight federal Senators present: but Mr. Dayton, we understand, voted in the affirmative.
We congratulate our fellow citizens on the prompt approbation given by the Senate to this important act. The Treaty, as advised to be ratified by the Senate, and which we have no doubt will in a short time receive the final ratification of and promulgation by the president of the United States, is as follows:
TREATY
BETWEEN The UNITED STATES of AMERICA AND The FRENCH REPUBLIC.
THE President of the United States of America, and the First Consul of the French Republic, in the name of the French people, desiring to remove all source of misunderstanding relative to objects of discussion mentioned in the second and fifth articles of the convention of the 8th Vendemaire an. 9, (30th September, 1800) relative to the rights claimed by the U. S. in virtue of the treaty concluded at Madrid the 27th of October, 1795, between his Catholic Majesty and the said U. States, and willing to strengthen the union and friendship which at the time of the said convention was happily re-established between the two nations, have respectively named their plenipotentiaries, to wit, the President of the United States, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate of the said states, Robert R. Livingston, minister plenipotentiary of the United States, and James Monroe, minister plenipotentiary and envoy extraordinary of the said states, near the government of the French republic; and the First Consul, in the name of the French people, citizen Francis Barbe Marbois, minister of the public treasury, who, after having respectively exchanged their full powers, have agreed to the following articles:
ARTICLE I. WHEREAS, by the third article of the treaty concluded at St. Ildefonso, the 9th Vendemaire, an. 9 (1st October, 1800) between the First Consul of the French republic and his Catholic Majesty, it was agreed as follows:
"His Catholic Majesty promises and engages on his part, to cede to the French Republic, six months after the full and entire execution of the conditions and stipulations herein relative to his royal highness the duke of Parma, the colony or province of Louisiana, with the same extent that it now has in the hands of Spain, and that it had when France possessed it; and such as it should be after the treaties subsequently entered into between Spain and other states."
And whereas, in pursuance of the treaty, and particularly of the third article, the French Republic has an incontestible title to the domain and to the possession of the said territory. The First Consul of the French Republic desiring to give to the United States a strong proof of his friendship, doth hereby cede to the said United States, in the name of the French Republic, for ever and in full sovereignty, the said territory with all its rights and appurtenances, as fully and in the same manner as they have been acquired by the French Republic in virtue of the above mentioned treaty, concluded with his Catholic Majesty.
Article II. In the cession made by the preceding article are included the adjacent islands belonging to Louisiana, all public lots and squares, vacant lands, and all public buildings, fortifications, barracks, and other edifices which are not private property. The archives, papers and documents, relative to the domain and sovereignty of Louisiana and its dependencies, will be left in the possession of the commissaries of the United States, and copies will be afterwards given in due form to the magistrates and municipal officers of such of the said papers and documents as may be necessary to them.
Article III. The inhabitants of the ceded territory shall be incorporated in the union of the United States, and admitted as soon as possible, according to the principles of the federal constitution, to the enjoyment of all the rights, advantages and immunities of citizens of the U. States; and in the mean time they shall be maintained and protected in the free enjoyment of their liberty, property, and the religion which they profess.
Article IV. There shall be sent by the government of France a commissary to Louisiana, to the end that he do every act necessary, as well to receive from the officers of his Catholic Majesty the said country
and its dependencies, in the name of the French Republic, if it has not been already done, as to transmit it in the name of the French Republic to the commissary or agent of the United States.
Article V. Immediately after the ratification of the present treaty by the President of the United States, and in case that of the First Consul's shall have been previously obtained, the commissary of the French Republic shall remit all military posts of New-Orleans, and other parts of the ceded territory, to the commissary or commissaries named by the President to take possession: the troops, whether of France or Spain, who may be there, shall cease to occupy any military post from the time of taking possession, and shall be embarked as soon as possible in the course of three months after the ratification of this treaty.
Article VI. The United States promise to execute such treaties and articles as may have been agreed between Spain and the tribes and nations of Indians, until, by mutual consent of the U. States and the said tribes or nations, other suitable articles shall have been agreed upon.
Article VII. As it is reciprocally advantageous to the commerce of France and the U. States to encourage the communication of both nations for a limited time in the country ceded by the present treaty, until general arrangements relative to the commerce of both nations may be agreed on: it has been agreed between the contracting parties, that the French ships coming directly from France or any other colonies, loaded only with the produce and manufactures of France or her said colonies; and the ships of Spain coming directly from Spain or any of her colonies, loaded only with the produce or manufactures of Spain or of her colonies, shall be admitted during the space of twelve years in the port of New Orleans, and in all other legal ports of entry within the ceded territory, in the same manner as the ships of the U. States coming directly from France or Spain, or any of their colonies, without being subject to any other or greater duty on merchandise, or other or greater tonnage than that paid by the citizens of the United States.
During the space of time above mentioned, no other nation shall have a right to the same privileges in the ports of the ceded territory: the twelve years shall commence three months after the exchange of ratifications, if it shall take place in France, or three months after it shall have been notified at Paris to the French government, if it shall take place in the United States; it is however well understood that the object of the above article is to favour the manufactures, commerce, freight and navigation of France and Spain, so far as relates to the importations that the French and Spanish shall make into the said ports of the United States, without in any sort affecting the regulations that the U. States may make concerning the exportation of the produce and merchandise of the United States, or any right they may have to make such regulations.
Article VIII. In future and forever after the expiration of the twelve years, the ships of France shall be treated upon the footing of the most favored nations in the ports above mentioned.
Article IX. The particular convention signed this day by the respective ministers, having for its object to provide for the payment of debts due to the citizens of the United States by the French Republic, prior to the 30th Sept. 1800 (8th Vendemaire, an. 9,) is approved, and to have its execution in the same manner as if it had been inserted in this present treaty, and it shall be ratified in the same form and in the same time, so that the one shall not be ratified without the other.
Another particular convention signed at the same date as the present treaty, relative to a definitive rule between the contracting parties, is in the like manner approved, and will be ratified in the same form, and in the same time, and jointly.
Article X. The present treaty shall be ratified in good and due form, and the ratification shall be exchanged in the space of six months after the date of the signature by the ministers plenipotentiary, or sooner if possible.
In faith whereof, the respective plenipotentiaries have signed these articles in the French and English languages; declaring nevertheless that the present treaty was originally agreed to in the French language; and have thereunto affixed their seals.
Done at Paris, the tenth day of Floreal, in the eleventh year of the French Republic, and the 30th of April, 1803.

CONVENTION BETWEEN The UNITED STATES of AMERICA AND THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.
THE President of the United States of America, and the First Consul of the French Republic, in the name of the French people, in consequence of the treaty of cession of Louisiana, which has been signed this day, wishing to regulate definitively every thing which has relation to the
cession, have authorised to this effect the plenipotentiaries, that is to say: the President of the United States has, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate of the said states, nominated for their plenipotentiaries, Robert R. Livingston, minister plenipotentiary of the United States, and James Monroe, minister plenipotentiary and envoy extraordinary of the said states, near the government of the French Republic; and the First Consul of the French Republic, in the name of the French people, has named as plenipotentiary the citizen Francis Barbe Marbois; who, in the virtue of their full powers, which have been exchanged this day, have agreed to the following articles.
Article I. The government of the United States engages to pay to the French government in the manner specified in the following article the sum of sixty millions of francs, independent of the sum which shall be fixed by another convention for the payment of the debts due by France to citizens of the United States.
Article II. For the payment of the sum of sixty millions of francs, mentioned in the preceding article, the U. States shall create a stock of eleven millions two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, bearing an interest of six per cent. per annum, payable half yearly in London, Amsterdam, or Paris, amounting by the half year to three hundred and thirty seven thousand five hundred dollars, according to the proportions which shall be determined by the French government to be paid at either place; the principal of the said stock to be reimbursed at the Treasury of the U. States, in annual payments of not less than three millions of dollars each; of which the first payment shall commence fifteen years after the date of the exchange of ratifications: this stock shall be transferred to the government of France, or to such person or persons as shall be authorised to receive it, in three months at most after the exchange of the ratifications of this treaty, and after Louisiana shall be taken possession of in the name of the government of the United States.
It is further agreed, that if the French government should be desirous of disposing of the said stock to receive the capital in Europe, at shorter terms, that its measures for that purpose shall be taken so as to favour in the greatest degree possible, the credit of the United States, and to raise to the highest price the said stock.
Article III. It is agreed that the dollar of the United States, specified in the present convention, shall be fixed at five francs 333-1000000, or five livres eight sous tournois.
The present convention shall be ratified in good and due form, and the ratifications shall be exchanged in the space of six months to date from this day, or sooner if possible.
IN FAITH OF WHICH, the respective plenipotentiaries have signed the above articles, both in the French and English languages, declaring, nevertheless, that the present treaty has been originally agreed on and written in the French language, to which they have hereunto affixed their seals.
Done at Paris the tenth of Floreal, eleventh year of the French Republic, (30th of April, 1803.)

CONVENTION BETWEEN The UNITED STATES of AMERICA AND THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.
The president of the United States of America, and the first consul of the French Republic, in the name of the French people, having by a treaty of this date terminated all difficulties relative to Louisiana, and established on a solid foundation the friendship which unites the two nations, and being desirous, in compliance with the second and fifth articles of the convention of the 8th Vendemaire, ninth year of the French Republic (30th September, 1800) to secure the payment of the sums due by France to the citizens of the United States, have respectively nominated as plenipotentiaries, that is to say, the President of the United States of America, by and with the advice and consent of their Senate, Robert R. Livingston, minister plenipotentiary and James Monroe, minister plenipotentiary and envoy extraordinary of the said states, near the government of the French Republic; and the First Consul, in the name of the French people, the citizen Francis Barbe Marbois, minister of the public treasury; who after having exchanged their full powers have agreed to the following articles.
Article I. The debt due by France to the citizens of the U. States, contracted before the 8th of Vendemaire, ninth year of the French Republic (30th September, 1800) shall be paid according to the following regulations, with interest at six per cent. to commence from the period when the accounts and vouchers were presented to the French Government.
Article II. The debts provided for by the preceding article are those whose result is comprised in the conjectural note annexed to the present convention, and which, with the interest, cannot exceed the sum of twenty millions of francs. The claims comprised in the said note which fall within the exceptions of the following articles, shall not be admitted to the benefit of this provision.
Article III. The principal and interest of the said debts shall be discharged by the United States, by orders drawn by their minister plenipotentiary.

Art. VI.

Article V. The preceding articles shall apply only, first, to captures of which the council of prizes shall have ordered restitution, it being well understood that the claimant shall not have recourse to the United States otherwise than he might have had to the government of the French Republic, and only in case of insufficiency of the captors; 2d, the debts mentioned in the said fifth article of the convention contracted before the 8th Vendemiare an. 9 (30th September, 1800) the payment of which has been heretofore claimed of the actual government of France, and for which the creditors have a right to the protection of the United States; the said fifth article does not comprehend prizes whose condemnation has been or shall be confirmed: it is the express intention of the contracting parties not to extend the benefit of the present convention to reclamations of American citizens, who shall have established houses of commerce in France, England or other countries than the United States, in partnership with foreigners, and who by that reason and the nature of their commerce ought to be regarded as domiciliated in the places where such houses exist.

Article VII. The same agents shall likewise have power, without removing the documents, to examine the claims which are prepared for verification, and to certify those which ought to be admitted by uniting the necessary qualifications, and not being comprised in the exceptions contained in the present convention.
Article VIII. The same agents shall likewise examine the claims which are not prepared for liquidation, and certify in writing those which in their judgment ought to be admitted to liquidation.
Article IX. In proportion as the debts mentioned in these articles shall be admitted, they shall be discharged with interest at six per cent. by the treasury of the United States.
Article X. And that no debt which shall not have the qualifications above mentioned, and that no unjust or exorbitant demand may be admitted, the commercial agent of the United States at Paris, or such other agent as the minister plenipotentiary of the United States shall think proper to nominate, shall assist at the operations of the bureau, and co-operate in the examinations of the claims; and if this agent shall be of opinion that any debt is not completely proved, or if he shall judge that it is not comprised in the principles of the fifth article above mentioned, and if notwithstanding his opinion, the bureau established by the French government should think that it ought to be liquidated, he shall transmit his observations to the board established by the United States, who, without removing documents, shall make a complete examination of the debt and vouchers which support it, and report the result to the minister of the United States. The minister of the United States shall transmit his observations, in all such cases, to the minister of the treasury of the French Republic, on whose report the French government shall decide definitively in every case.
The rejection of any claim shall have no other effect than to exempt the United States from the payment of it, the French government reserving to itself the right to decide definitively on such claim so far as it concerns itself.
Article XI. Every necessary decision shall be made in the course of a year, to commence from the exchange of ratifications, and no reclamation shall be admitted afterwards.
Article XII. In case of claims for debts contracted by the government of France with citizens of the United States since the 8th Vendemiare, ninth year, (30th September, 1800,) not being comprised in this convention, may be pursued, and the payment demanded in the same manner as if it had not been made.
Article XIII. The present convention shall be ratified in good and due form, and the ratifications shall be exchanged in six months from the date
of the signature of the ministers plenipotentiary, or sooner if possible.
IN FAITH OF WHICH, the respective Ministers Plenipotentiary have signed the above articles both in the French and English languages, declaring nevertheless that the present treaty has been originally agreed on & written in the French language; to which they have hereunto affixed their seals.

WAR WITH SPAIN
The ship Mississippi, capt. Dawson, 33 days from Liverpool, has just come up. By this arrival we learn that France has declared war against Portugal, and has an army of 200,000 men in motion to effect its conquest; that Great Britain has declared war against Spain, for suffering the French army to march through that country against Portugal; and that her cruisers had captured two Spanish galleons. We have not as yet been able to obtain any papers by the Mississippi, but hope to be able to give our readers late and interesting extracts in our next.

SENATE.
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22.
A motion was made and seconded, "That in future elections of President and Vice-President, the persons voted for, shall be particularly designated by declaring which is voted for as President, and which for Vice-President."
Mr. Dayton moved to refer this motion to a select committee. He thought the matter too important to be discussed in this way. The members of this House had not been allowed time to consider the subject. It required a little more consideration than to have it offered one moment, and decided the next.
Mr. Hillhouse coincided with the last speaker. He thought the subject of the greatest importance. If this motion is to be thus carried, in case of the death of the President, and if he should die the day after his election, who then is to be appointed? A man chosen by the electors—no—it will fall upon the choice of the Senate. A man may thus be chosen, who will be extremely obnoxious to the people at
large. Once it was contemplated to have no Vice-President, but again, it was conjectured that either would make an acceptable President. He thought there was no occasion for a Vice-President at all. If, however, we are to have a Vice-President, who may eventually execute the office of President, it may fall upon a man who has only two votes, and the man who had the largest number of votes may be Vice President. He hoped the motion would not pass over in this manner. He hoped, before this business would receive a single vote, that it should be well considered.
Mr. Butler argued in favour of its being referred to a select committee—and he offered the following motion, "That no person who has been twice elected to the office of President shall be eligible to serve again, until after the expiration of four years, but that any citizen, who may be eligible may serve for four years and no longer."
Mr. Wright spoke in favour of the original motion.
Mr. Bradley hoped that the whole would be referred to a select committee.
Mr. Clinton consented to waive the motion for the present. We are charged, said he, with hurrying on this business, but I am not to be intimidated in the duty I owe to my constituents. What is the use of a select committee, when we can here determine it? The amendment last proposed is also material, and, if the gentleman who made it, will agree we can enter into it on Monday.
Mr. Wright again proposed to enter into the whole business immediately. A committee, he observed, might report when they pleased—they might protract the business to a length of time.
Mr. Butler again observed that he penned his motion since he sat down in the house this day. He believed, he said, that the country was as ripe for his amendment, as for the original motion. He thought the business too much hurried, and if the mover would take back his motion he would, perhaps, be the first on Monday to condemn his precipitancy.
Mr. Smith was for an immediate discussion. He would not wish to tack together the different motions before a committee—they might both be lost. This, continued Mr. S. is the proper place to have the matter discussed, and to make objections. It is not said that it shall be determined on Monday—it is meant that it shall be then before the House.
Mr. Butler still urged a committee. He said, that they could report on Monday—they might sit to-morrow (Sunday). He did not think that the Senate should legislate on adventitious or extraneous matter, because it had been urged that the Assembly of Vermont, or any other state, were now sitting—this was no reason why the Senate of the Union should be hurried.
Many of the speakers reiterated their arguments, both for and against the question going into a committee, in which one of them observed that the greatest part of the debate was disorderly.
Mr. Jackson, the General from Georgia, thought that the House could not impute hurry—that the business might easily be got through on Monday or Tuesday. That he was a great admirer of Mr. Jefferson, in whom, he believed, all were happy. But, continued the General, we may not always have a Jefferson at the head of affairs. We know not who may succeed him. We may have a BONAPARTE, or some such man, who may be disapproved of. He therefore pressed the House to proceed.
Until late in the day this kind of debate continued, in which it would be impossible to follow the speakers correctly in a newspaper report. The question was at length put, when a majority appeared in favour of referring the motion to a committee of five.
A motion was then made "that the house proceed to the Election of a secretary and other Officers for the Senate. Ordered to lie on the table."
The House then resolved to proceed upon executive business, and the doors were closed.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22.
A message from the President was delivered, stating that the Senate had approved and ratified the Treaty with France for the purchase of Louisiana, and of the Convention between the President and Bonaparte. The message also recommended a speedy appropriation and dispatch in carrying the same into execution.
Mr. Randolph moved, that the said Treaty and Convention be referred to a committee of the whole house; and, in another motion, that provision be made for carrying the same into execution, which was agreed to and made the order of the day for Monday.
A debate then took place, respecting the resolution of secrecy, adopted last session, when, after
much argument, it was discovered that the house was compelled to determine upon the fame with closed doors. A motion to this effect was made by Mr. Lyon and negatived—but upon further consideration, and from the recommendation of the Speaker, the question was again put and carried. The house was therefore cleared of strangers and the doors closed.

Dr. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR. A sovereign remedy for old, Obsolete Coughs Asth- mas, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and Approaching Con- sumptions.
To parents who may have children afflicted with the HOOPING COUGH.
This disorder 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 child- ren 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-Gen- eral 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 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 breath, accompanied with forseness and with wheezing and difficult breathing. On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Ha- milton's Elixir, as a valuable medicine, and deserving public patronage.
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 at- tend to his business for a few hours a day. He has been upwards of six weeks without a return of his complaints, and desires to give this public testimony in favour of this invaluable medi- cine.
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 dissipa- tions—exhaustion in church, or any other exertion to the constit- ution—when moderate use of tea, frequent intoxication or any other destructive extravagance—the willful or ex- cessive 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 able to restore vitality in the cure of
  Neuronic disorders,  Violent cramps in the    Consumption,  stomach and back,    Low state of spirits,  Indigestion,    Low state of appetite,  Measles,    Impurity of the blood,  Gout in the stomach,    Hysterical affections,  Pains in the limbs,    Inward weakness,  Relaxations,    Seminal weakness,  Involuntary emissions,    Fluor albus, (or whites)  Obligate plects,    Barrenness,  Impotency, &c. &c.  
In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impover- ishment 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, pal- sey, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. And has performed more cures in the above complaints 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 Ha- milton'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 I suffered for a long time, and which had baffled every article in the Materia Medica, and every mode of treat- ment 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.
P. WEATHERBURN.
John Hoover, rope maker, South Second Street, be- tween Mary and Christian Streets, Philadelphia; volun- tarily makes such 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 cures performed by Ha- milton's Essence and Extract of Mustard, they were pro- cured from Mr. Birch, 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 form obstructions or block-ups in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears an analogy whatever of similar kind, so commonly complained of as operating with vio- lence; on the contrary, particular excellence of this remedy is its being fitted to every age and constitution; contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is so mild in its operation that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old. It holds no noxious stuff to the body; but will, with- out pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many local disorders. They are particularly effective in carrying off all gross hu- mors and eruptions; levers and bilious complaints, and are the best and mildest purgative that can be used on any 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 Tapes or large round worm, the Asca- ides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short, flat, white worm, and lastly, the Fania, 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 disagree- able breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupt- ed gums—itching in the nose and about the seat—Con- vulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—starting and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irre- gular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purging, with slimy and fecal stools—Vomit- ing—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 an advanced stage of this fatal complaint. Particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the ne- cessary 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 Destroy- ing 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 Har- ford road, ten miles from Baltimore, began about 20 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 its 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 con- ceived but by one in a similar situation—his appetite wa- stered 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 a- bout FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the pos- session of Lee & Co.)—but a renewal of his pains soon convinced him that this monstrous reptile had recovered its first vigour—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 neighbours, and himself will gratify 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 oper- ation on the human body, even taken in large doses, as Mr. Fuller will testify—their particular mildness is abun- dantly 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 af- flicted 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 car- ried off a substance to all appearance a mere mucus but upon close inspection quite repelled with very small living animals. Not one of that sort of worms which usually affl. 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 occa- sions I have used this medicine as a purging substitute, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly-ache, or any of those disagreeable sensations, so of- ten 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 indis- position both among children and adults.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant,  JOHN MOLTHER.
