HAVING observed in your paper bearing date the 5th inst. a publication wherein a certain Baldwin Dade terms me ignorant and stupid indeed—I am really astonished at his audacity and impertinence, knowing him not to possess but little more understanding than one bordering on idiocy. He also observes that the suit mentioned in my notice is dismissed; I grant it—But it was dismissed in Fairfax Court to bring it in a place where I could come sooner at justice, namely the Chancery Court of Alexandria, which writ has been served some time since, as will appear by the certificate hereto annexed. As to the balance of his publication, I assert it to be fallacious in the extreme.
I must beg leave to add, that for the future I shall not occupy a moment of my time in writing contradictorily to the fabulous assertions of said Dade, whose diabolical character is universally established.

Mr. SNOWDEN,
If you think the following will add to the usefulness of your already useful paper, I will thank you to publish it.
MUCH has been said about plaster of Paris as a manure. Some have ascribed to it powers little less than magical, while others will not allow that it has any powers at all. I have now had some experience of it, and from the wonderful effects produced by it, am induced thus publicly to give my testimony in its favor.
In June, 1800, I fallowed an old field, which was so completely worn out, that the fence had been taken from about it, more than seven years before. I sowed it with wheat the last week in September. The wheat, before sowing, was soaked in clean water about 12 hours, and then half a bushel of ground plaster mix with each bushel of seed. It was sown in this state, ploughed in very shallow, and the ground harrowed afterwards till it was quite smooth. In the month of March following, I sowed one bushel of plaster, mixed with two quarts of clover seed, on each acre; and from 16 bushels of wheat sown I received 36 5 bushels of good grain.
The field has been sown again with plaster this spring, and there is now a crop of clover ready to mow, which will at least compensate for all the labor and expence incurred, both with it and the wheat crop.
I have made other experiments, which have been equally successful, and sufficient to convince me that the poorest, worn out land, with plaster of Paris alone, may be reclaimed, unless the soil is entirely washed off, which, indeed, is the case with a great deal of our hilly lands, that have been torn to pieces with corn.
Whether the plaster fertilizes the land, or only acts as a stimula, are things which I do not know. Long experience is, perhaps, the only way of ascertaining this matter. It might, however, be a very proper subject of philosophical enquiry; but, as I am no theorist, I shall not attempt a discussion.
Philosophers would, perhaps, be as well employed, and do more towards "filling the mouth of labor," by such investigations, than in ascertaining the exact number of inches and eights of an inch of the diameter of a Mammoth's back bone.
I am, however, inclined to think, that although the plaster may not directly fertilize soil, yet that it will indirectly tend to that purpose. It will most certainly promote the growth of every kind of grass, and grass where fed on, or ploughed down, ferments and enriches the soil.
It is surprising that men of sense should act so stupidly, as they do in this part of Virginia, in the business of cultivating their lands; and no wonder that they drive away as fast as possible to Kentucky and Genessee. Although they lose by every attempt to make a crop, yet they go on in the old way—divide a large farm into two shifts, as they call it, and every second year one of these they plant with corn and sow wheat amongst it. The corn is scarcely sufficient to keep all hands in Johnny Cake, and a few spare ears for the poor lacerated beasts, until another crop is ripe, and the wheat crop falls short about one third of what it cost them.
Unless more than six bushels of wheat is got from an acre, it is a losing business to make it. One third is to be allowed for the use of land,
  Say 2 bushels   For seed, 1   Sowing, ploughing, &c. 1   Reaping, stacking, getting out and taking to market, 2 
6 bushels
—And this is more, by one third, than the average of crops, as far as I am acquainted, in this neighbourhood.
What a pity that gentlemen, who are fond of innovation, would not introduce it into the business of husbandry. Benevolent Nature, or rather the God of Nature, has provided means to refresh and reinvigorate the exhausted soil, as well as medicine for the human body. Plaster of Paris, I conceive, is one of the most efficacious remedies in this case; but as long as people adhere to the present system, no great advantage can be expected from the use of it. Where corn is made, grass cannot grow; it is ploughed incessantly for four months in the year, and the very best season for the production of grass; and
then it is left in furrows and ridges, exposed to the mercy of the sun and rains, which unite their influence in completing its ruin.
In order to be fully benefited by the use of plaster, the raising of corn on poor hilly lands ought to be laid aside, and the very first step towards improvement is to fill up the gullies, no matter with what; one ploughing before harvest, and one after, with good harrowing, will be sufficient to prepare the ground for wheat, unless it is of a stiff clay soil, and then it will require more, as I am fully persuaded that it contributes much to the goodness of a crop, to have the ground perfectly clear and mellow for the reception of seed. Soaking and washing wheat in clear water, I think, answers a good purpose; it gives an opportunity of scumming off the chaff and blighted grains; and, also, puts it in the best order for mixing with plaster, it likewise vegetates quicker, and, of course, will do better for late sowing, which is become so necessary since the ravages of the fly. Small furrows, and shallow ploughing, is best for covering the grain, and I should always harrow afterwards, especially if the ground is hilly and subject to wash.
Wheat grounds should always be sown in the months of February or March with plaster and clover, and after the wheat is taken off, the fields kept from creatures, until the clover gets a pretty good growth.
Without pursuing the subject farther in detail, I would beg leave in general to recommend a free use of plaster; carefully nurse and preserve the young clover; let cattle run on it, but not 'till it gets its full growth, and then never suffer them to eat it too bare, and by going on in this way, and fallowing every third or fourth year, I have no doubt but the poorest land, in a few years, may be reclaimed and become as rich as could be desired.
But what shall we do for corn? asks a Virginia planter. I answer, do without. Irish potatoes, as they are called, buckwheat, rye, &c. will make very good substitutes. Clover will fatten hogs itself; indeed there will be so much butter and milk, that less meat will do.
I do not, however, recommend the total relinquishment of corn crops. Such as have rich, level lands ought to make it, and those who have not, should purchase from them, rather than make it at so great an expence as the destruction of their land.
JAMES DOUGLASS.
Falls Difficult, June 8, 1802.
FROM THE (BOSTON) PALLADIUM.
THE APPEAL.
It has already been remarked that a series of accusations, directed with unwearied perseverance, against the federal administration, has brought into office a class of men, who have uniformly declared their disapprobation of that system of policy pursued by their predecessors; who have professed to have different views, and to make different principles the basis of their own administration. That such is the fact, no one will doubt, who has read President Jefferson's letter to M. Mazzei, to the Berkley Farmer, to the New-Haven Merchants, the several communications made to Congress, to the Legislatures of States, to the associations of individuals, with the speeches and other known publications of the Members of Congress, and Heads of department. The professions of these men, therefore, have been ample and undisguised; their principles avowed and well understood. But how far they have countenanced, supported, or aided, directly or indirectly, the charges made against the political opponents, as an object deserving of distinct consideration.
A large proportion of those who have discovered the most zeal in making and circulating these charges have been foreigners. This fact, perhaps, ought to lessen our astonishment, at the rapidity of our decline, when the education, habits, and characters of these men are known. Restless and discontented in their own country, trained in the doctrines of Paine, Godwin, and Thelwall, they came here to teach what they had not learned, and what is worse to practice what they had. As members of clubs, or political societies, those haunts of rebellion and treason, they had learned to hate the justice they feared, and to curse the restraints they felt. Most of them were as desperate in their fortunes as they were profligate in their principles, and when they found their efforts to produce a revolution in their own country unsuccessful, they fled to this as the last
"asylum of oppressed humanity." It was here they hoped to find a market for their depravity; to vent, fearless of punishment, those passions which had long been in confusion, and to exchange the pillory and the jail, the just rewards of their patriotism at home, for emoluments and office, is expected, nay its realized recompence HERE.
It is to be lamented as an evil inseparable from our Government, that foreigners, such as Cooper, Duane, and of such only do we speak, are able to influence public opinion. Always prepared, from inclination and habit, to be employed as the instruments, of aspiring demagogues; they become important from the evil which they can produce. Secondaries spring up at home, who are willing to become the humble copyists of these Enrages , and to lend their efforts to circulate the poison of public morals. If, therefore, the Government is not energetic enough to controul the effects of these joint labours, it must become the prey of faction.
It is well known that the presses most zealously engaged to discredit the Federal Government, were conducted by foreigners of this description. Yes it is worthy of notice, that the era of Washington's resignation, was proclaimed as a Jubilee by a native American. Base as the wretch may be, who claims this country as his own, his heart must have sunk, and his hand trembled, before he could have published to the world that Washington was a TRAITOR. No, this deed was left for the man who is now amassing a fortune in the service of the present administration.
These papers soon sent into every nook and corner of the country, the formidable catalogue of charges brought to light, at an early period, in a Letter to Mazzei. They first spread the alarm of robberies, defalcations and burnings, while they prized the wisdom, the patriotism and virtue of the men now in power. Filled with eulogiums for their friends, and accusations for enemies they traversed the country, offering something suited to the weakness, the passions, the prejudices, the avarice, the pride, the vanity, the ambition of every man whom they chanced to meet. Every affailable point in the human character was applied in every form which ingenuity could devise, or profligacy practice. Is it then so much a cause of wonder, that an attack so constant and various, should eventually prevail?
Perhaps it may be thought unjust to implicate Mr. Jefferson, Governor McKean and Gallatin, in an attempt to affect a revolution; or to associate them in any way with such men as Duane, Calender and Cheetham, for such a purpose. We are sensible that such a connection is monstrous, and one that every man, who had the least regard for an honest fame, would shrink from with horror. With this impression on our mind, we are led into the inquiry, hoping for the honor of our country, that the result may not disgrace the name of a Republican Government.
Is it then known, that the President, or either of the Secretaries, or any Member of Congress, has, in any instance, disavowed the principles which have marked the Gazettes of their party? On the other hand is it not true, that these papers, most of them conducted by foreigners, have grounded their pretensions to correctness and authority upon the speeches and letters of the leaders of the party; that they have adopted their principles, held their language, and circulated their professions. No instance we presume can be found, in which those editors have ventured to call in question those maxims of policy, which have been so often professed by their dictators. Their labors, then, so far as an inculcation of principle is concerned, are identified. No difference has ever been known to interrupt the harmony of such intercourse; but joint counsels, and joint labors have proceeded with alacrity to the accomplishment of the great objects in view. Indeed, the imputations, which have been thrown upon the Federalists, of an undefined, general nature, have been sanctioned by the president and his friends. They have themselves ever been ready "spargere per vulgus voces ambiguas," to throw out insinuations and vague accusations, which were directed against no single individual, but left as food for malice, to be repeated or applied, as occasion might require. The humble retainers of these great men, following close upon their heels, have taken up the tale, and wrought it into the texture of almost every newspaper publication.
But when we come to those charges of a personal nature, which involve a high degree of ci-
minality, can it be said, that the members of the present cabinet, are implicated either as principals or accessaries? To this query, of such facts as have ever disavowed his belief in the charges against General Washington, Colonel Pickering, or General Hamilton, or Mr. Wolcott. They well knew that these were constantly in circulation, that they had an influence upon public opinion, and must ultimately produce their intended effect. If they believed them to be true, and under that impression, profited by their influence, they now stand before the public accusers, and are responsible for their truth. If they did not believe them to be true, then they have voluntarily partaken of the spoil, equally in the guilt of the unrighteous deed, and are coadjutors, and Callender, have been rewarded. They have, in fine, been officious with men disgraced from their native country as nuisances, and insinuated with scorn, even to leprosy, in the business of producing a revolution, by means which, whether right or wrong, just or unjust, have been crowned with success. Upon examination, however, should it appear that these charges have been as false as they have been dishonorable to those who have made them, we trust an honest and enlightened people will not fail to render justice to the accusers and the accused.
PUBLIUS LENTILUS.
FROM THE BALANCE.
MESSERS. EDITORS,
To judge of men in office without any degree of accuracy, it is necessary, occasionally, to take a retrospective view of what their conduct was antecedent to their elevation. It was for this purpose that the private correspondence of our chief magistrate was sent for publication in the Balance. I will now, Gentlemen, ask your favorable attention to the observations on the Mazzei letter published in the Paris Monitor , about the time Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Adams were candidates for the Presidency, when General Washington retired from office.—They are as follows:—
"This interesting letter [to Mazzei] from one of the most virtuous & enlightened citizens of the United States, explains the conduct of the Americans in regard to France. It is certain that of all the neutral and friendly powers, there is none from which France had a right to expect more interest and succor than from the United States. SHE IS THEIR TRUE MOTHER COUNTRY, SINCE SHE HAS ASSURED THEM THEIR LIBERTY AND INDEPENDENCE.—Ungrateful children, * instead of abandoning her they ought to have armed in her defence. But if imperious circumstances had prevented them from openly declaring for the Republic of France, they ought at least to have made demonstrations and excited apprehensions in England that at some moment or other they should declare themselves. This fear alone would have been sufficient to force the cabinet of London to make peace. It is clear that a war with the U. States, would strike a terribly blow at the commerce of the English, would give them uneasiness for the preservation of their possessions on the American continent, and deprive them of the means of conquering the French and Dutch colonies."
Speaking of the British treaty, the Monitor proceeds—
"Such a treaty under all the particular circumstances and by the consequences it must produce, is an act of hostility against France. The French government, in short, has testified the resentment of the French nation, by breaking off communication with an ungrateful and faithless ally, until she shall return to a more just and benevolent conduct. Justice and sound policy, equally approve this measure of the French government. There is no doubt it will give rise, in the United States, to discussions which may afford a TRIUMPH TO THE PARTY OF GOOD REPUBLICANS, THE FRIENDS OF FRANCE."
"Some writers, in disapprobation of this wise and necessary measure of the
* It suffices that we arrest the progress of that system of ingratitude towards France!
[Letter to Mazzei.]
See the appeal of Adet (French Minister) to the people of the United States, when he declared that his functions were to cease until the government of the United States changed its conduct. And after all our self styled republicans have the effrontery to charge the Federal republicans as a British faction.

directory, maintain that in the United States the French have for partisans certain demagogues, who aim to overthrow the existing government. But their impudent falsehoods convince no one, and prove only what is too evident, that they use the liberty of the press to serve the enemies of France." Whoever reads the letter to Mazzei with attention, must see that it encouraged the French government to stigmatize us as an "ungrateful faithless nation," to declare that "our true mother, France, has assured to the United States their liberty and independence," and openly to avow that by "breaking off communication" with us, it would "afford a triumph to the party of good republicans," "the friends of France in the United States." Reader, pause and reflect upon the language made use of by the writer of the letter, and the observations upon it by "our true Mother," and you will readily perceive that the former has justified the latter in saying that the good republicans here were the friends of France.

PROPOSALS,
Respectfully submitted to the consideration of the citizens of the District of Columbia, and the public generally, for publishing by subscription in George-Town,
A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER,
TO BE ENTITLED
The Ohio.
By B. PARKS and Co.
IT is within the plan of the Editors of this paper, that its contents shall comport with its title: a compound of various ingredients—as politics, news, polite literature; with whatever else may seem most promotive of public good, and conduce towards general usefulness.
No where, perhaps, have the beneficial effects of periodical publications been more generally felt, or duly appreciated, than in this country; and no where, we believe, their abuses might be more justly deprecated; but such is the close affinity between their good and bad consequences, between the liberty and licentiousness of the press, that the most experienced of our political surgeons have uniformly been apprehensive of attempting an excision of the one, lest they might give a mortal wound to the other. Being an evil without a remedy, it shall be our peculiar care not to contribute to its aggravation.
The temper of the times require an avowal of the Editors' political creed. On this head they will be candid and sincere.—They are unequivocally federal.—Believing, without calling into question the views of the present, that the former administrations pursued the best policy that could be devised, for securing the peace and happiness, and promoting the true interests of this country, they declare it their intention, at all times, to advocate measures producing those desirable consequences.
We have ever held the conduct of many of the opposers of the former administrations, in their newspaper publications, in the utmost, and we think, merited contempt. Wilful misrepresentations may deceive for a while, and thereby further the views of those who employ such means; but it is not by resorting to them, that we hope or intend to promote our own interest, much less that of the public. Towards our political opponents we will 'do as we would be done by'—consequently, not attempt to repeal the reiterated calumnies, yet heaped upon those no longer in power, by a recrimination of slander on those who now hold the helm of our political barque. Time will shew who best understood their country's interest, and will bring with it the most ample justification of the views of those to whom under Providence, we have been, and are indebted for our present prosperity and tranquility.
Private disputes and personalities shall always be excluded. To this promise the Editors pledge themselves they will religiously adhere.
The papers published at present in the district, being devoted almost entirely to one subject, Politics, the Editors entertain a hope that The Ohio , conducted on liberal principles, and containing a greater diversity of matter, will meet with public countenance; which they respectfully solicit.
CONDITIONS.
This paper will be published every Thursday morning, in a quarto form, and on a sheet of royal size, which will form a handsome volume, annually, of 416 pages, printed with a new and elegant type.
The price to subscribers will be Two Dollars and Fifty Cents, payable on the receipt of the first number.
It will be delivered at the dwellings of subscribers in Alexandria, every evening of the day of publication, free of any additional expense.
The subscriber informs his friends in Alexandria, and former patrons of the "Columbian Mirror," that he is concerned in the intended publication abovementioned, and will, in the course of a day or two, wait upon those in town for their signatures.

Dr. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obsolete Coughs, Asthma, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and Approaching Consumptions.
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 soreness 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 favour 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—residence in climates unfavourable to the constitution—the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the unskilful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females, at a certain period of life—bad lyings 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 stomach and back,    Consumptions,  Indigestion,    Lowness of spirits,  Melancholy,    Loss of appetite,  Gout in the stomach,    Impurity of the blood,  Pains in the limbs,    Hysterical affections,  Relaxations,    Inward weaknesses,  Involuntary emissions,    Seminal weaknesses,  Obstinate gleets,    Mucorallus, (or whites)  Impotency, &c. &c.    Barrenness,   
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, 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 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 laboured 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.
P. WEATHERBURN.
John 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. 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.

Sworn and subscribed before Ebenezer Ferguson, Esq. one of the justices of the peace for Philadelphia County.
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 foulness 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 remedy is its being suited 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, 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 humours and eruptions; feverish and bilious complaints, and are the safest 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 Teres 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 gums—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—Purgings, with slimy and fecid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickens 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 like wise 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 necessary treatment in such cases.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness; having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
CASES OF CURES.
(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 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 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 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 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 reple
with very small living animals. Not one of that sort of worms which usually afflict 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 substitute, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly-ache, or any of those disagreeable sensations, so 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.
Dr. HAHN'S TRUE and GENUINE GERMAN CORN PLAISTER.
An infallible remedy for corns, speedily removing them, root and branch, without giving pain.
THE GENUINE PERSIAN LOTION,

The Persian Lotion operates mildly, without impeding that natural, insensible perspiration which is essential to health. Yet its salutary effects are speedy and permanent, rendering the skin delicately soft and clear, improving the complexion, and restoring the bloom of youth. Never failing to render an ordinary countenance beautiful, and an handsome one more so.
THE RESTORATIVE POWDER for the TEETH and GUMS.
This excellent preparation comforts and strengthens the gums, preserves the enamel from decay, and cleanses and whitens the teeth, by absorbing all that acrimonious slime & foulness, which suffered to accumulate, never fails to injure and finally ruin them.
Dr. HAHN'S GENUINE EYE-WATER.
A sovereign remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness or of accident, defluxions of rheum, dullness, itching and films on the eyes, never failing to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the small pox, measles and fevers, and wonderfully strengthening a weak sight. Hundreds have experienced its excellent virtues, when nearly deprived of light.
TOOTH ACHE DROPS.
The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances.
THE SOVEREIGN OINTMENT for the ITCH,
Which is warranted an infallible remedy at one application, and may be used with perfect safety by pregnant women, or on infants a week old, not containing a particle of mercury, or any other dangerous ingredient whatever, and is not accompanied with that tormenting smart which attends the application of other remedies.

The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age.
They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent its morbid secretions—to restore and amend the appetite—to procure a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, which are often attended with fatal consequences—a dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness—sickens at the stomach, and severe head ache—and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
