TOM PAINE, Invited to this country by his Right Wor- thy and affectionate Friend, T. JEFFERSON.
No. II.
That we may have a more ample "view of the whole ground" on which we have entered, we shall here insert the extract from Jefferson's letter to Paine, as we find it published in the London papers.—
"You expressed a wish in your letter to return to America by a national ship; Mr. Dawson who brings over the treaty, and who will present you this letter, is charged with orders to the captain of the Maryland to receive and accommodate you back, if you can be ready to depart at such a short warning. You will, in general, find us returned to sentiments worthy of former times; in these it will these it will be your glory to have steadily labored, and with as much effect as any living. That you may live long to continue your useful labors, and reap the reward in the thankfulness of nations, is my sincere prayer.—Accept the assurances of my high esteem and affectionate attachment."
TH: JEFFERSON."
Let us now enquire what Paine has done to merit all this applause, esteem and affection from a man in Mr. Jefferson's station. Following the order of our exposition, we will first attempt to shew what services Paine has rendered to Jefferson, in his exertions to destroy the reputation of Washington, and with it the administration of our government.
As Paine's insolent letter to general Washington, while president of the United States, is probably not in the hands of many honest men, and as we write for them alone, we shall extract a few such passages as will serve to give some notion of the spirit of that performance. It is dated at Paris, July 30th, 1796. The copy which we have before us was printed the same year, at the press of the Aurora, the only one in America at that time sufficiently prostituted to enter with such zeal into the views of Paine and Jefferson—The following passage is taken from the 5th page:
"I declare myself opposed to almost the whole of your administration; for I know it to have been deceitful if not even perfidious."
We wish to have it understood at the outset that we shall not insult the honesty nor the good sense of the American people by entering into a vindication of the character of Washington against the slanders of Mr. Paine and Mr. Jefferson. We conceive that nothing more is necessary to make these slanders recoil upon their own heads, than to shew that they are the authors of them. With this conviction we proceed to enquire into Mr. Jefferson's conduct as to "almost the whole" of general Washington's administration, and to compare it with the sentiments of Paine as expressed above.
It should be remembered here, that nothing which Jefferson now says, or has recently said about the "bright constellations which have gone before him"—or about our "first and greatest revolutionary character, whose pre-eminent services have entitled him to the first place in this country's love, and destined for him the fairest page in the volume of faithful history," can now be admitted for any other purpose than out of his own mouth to condemn him. It will appear, before we have done with him, that he has long possessed that happy versatility which is here manifested, and which has generally enabled him, with much ostentation, to abandon and denounce a base enterprise, after finding that it could no longer be prosecuted with any hope of success.
Mr. Jefferson could mourn, yea, weep outright with pure extacy of grief, over the tomb of the departed Washington, after it was found that the people stubbornly retained their affection and veneration for their political father, in spite of his National Gazette, and even his own dead Prospect before Us.
He also found himself immediately in love with the constitution, after all his efforts to prevent the state of Virginia from adopting it had proved fruitless.
Rather than lose his office as secretary of state he even wrote an official letter to Genet reproaching him for his treasonable opposition to the administration, after it had been fully ascertained that the people would not suffer themselves to be separated from their government.
As this affair with Genet forms one of
the most prominent features in the opposition of Mr. Jefferson's faction to the administration of Washington, it may be worth while to spend a little time in enquiring what proof it furnishes of Mr. Jefferson's co-operation with his friend Paine in this particular.
It is not yet forgotten that this Genet was sent to the United States from the French republic, so called, for the sole and express purpose of involving us in their nefarious revolution; that before he was acknowledged by our government, he attempted to grant commissions to our citizens to co-operate with the French; that in one of his official communications he boasted of being a minister to the people of the United States, as distinguished from the government, that he had, by acclamation, been received by the sovereign people and fraternally recognized before the diplomatic forms had been fulfilled with respect to him at Philadelphia; and that when general Washington issued his proclamation of neutrality, by which the peace and the existence of this government were preserved, this Genet, the confidential correspondent of Mr. Jefferson, impudently and treasonably appealed to the people, calling upon them to abandon their Washington and their government, & to throw themselves into the protecting, the fraternal arms of that dear republic, of which Bonaparte is now president.
At this period Mr. Jefferson, secretary of state, had a paper called the National Gazette, published almost in his office, at least, by a confidential clerk in his office, who enjoyed a sinecure salary of 600 dollars a year out of the public treasury. This paper, during the whole period of its publication (for it ceased as soon as Mr. Jefferson went out of office, after perceiving that the people would not desert Washington, to follow himself and Genet) abounded with the most gross and treasonable productions against the administration. At this period, while the scales hung in dubious suspense between Washington and national independence on one side, and Jefferson, Genet, and French fraternity on the other; while it was yet awfully doubtful into which scale the sovereign people, who had been flattered and appealed to against their government, would throw their weight, at this dreadful crisis, when the hope of Mr. Jefferson's faction were at the height, and the friends of government were beginning to despair, namely, on the 10th of July, 1793, we find the following publication in the National Gazette. It is extracted merely as a specimen of the general spirit of the paper, and as affording one instance of the impatience and indignation which Mr. Jefferson and his sect felt at the continued tyranny of the president, and his persevering resistance to the will of Genet. This patriotic paragraph is couched in the following terms:
"The minister of France, I HOPE, will act with FIRMNESS and with SPIRIT; the PEOPLE are his friends, or the friends of France, and HE will have nothing to apprehend; for as yet the PEOPLE are the sovereign of the United States. Too much complacency is an injury done to HIS cause, for as every advantage is already taken of France, further condescension may lead to further abuses. If one of the leading features of OUR GOVERNMENT is PUNILLANIMITY, when the British lion shews his teeth, let France and her minister act as becomes the dignity and justice of THEIR cause."
Let this extract, with the circumstances be candidly weighed, and see if it does not furnish a very intelligent response to the declaration of Paine. Can you not, in this very distinctly hear Mr. Jefferson pronounce, "I also declare myself opposed to almost the whole of your administration?"
Now for Mr. Jefferson's scandalous and cowardly dissimulation.
After all these means, added to Jefferson's own confidential correspondence with Genet, had failed of success, and the people from one end of the continent to the other, were pouring in addresses to the executive, assuring him of their fidelity and attachment, and loading the intriguing foreigner and his treasonable abettors with honest imprecations; when every effort to alienate the people from the government had been exerted in vain, and the people were found firm to their integrity; then it was that Mr. Jefferson found it convenient, for the sake of retaining his office, to give himself up to the views of the administration, and wrote an official letter to Genet full of high toned sentiments of independence. To this Genet returned an official answer, interspersed with bitter
and contemptuous reproaches for his duplicity, which to this day must sting him to the very soul, if that soul contains a spark of honor or integrity. "YOU," says Genet, (tu Brute, even "you are made to reproach me, &c.—after having INITIATED ME INTO MYSTERIES which have inflamed my hatred against all those who aspire to absolute power."
Genet does not quit him here. After speaking awhile upon the general state of affairs, he again warms with indignation at the mean duplicity of a man who could encourage him and initiate him into mysteries, while it remained doubtful which side the country would espouse, and could render himself the generous instrument (to use Genet's words) of the government, as soon as the doubt was removed. The minister again breaks out in the following cutting and sarcastic sneers; "It was not in MY character to speak, as some people do, in one way, and act in another; to have an OFFICIAL language, and a language CONFIDENTIAL." Here, domocrats, is a flattering picture of your president, drawn by one of your former favorites, whom you "received fraternally and recognized before the diplomatic forms had been fulfilled with respect to him at Philadelphia." Contemplate and admire it at your leisure.
One instance more, and we will dismiss this point. In the affair of Gallatin's whiskey insurrection, according to the account given in Fauchet's intercepted letter to his government, the republicans, particularly, as Fauchet says, the governor of Pennsylvania, the secretary of the state, Mr. Dallas, who was rendered worthy of some attention by the influence he possessed in the popular society of Philadelphia and through it, in those of other parts of the country and many others, with RANDOLPH at their head, were balancing to decide on their party. RANDOLPH at their head—for says he, "JEFFERSON, on whom the patriots cast their eyes to succeed the president, had foreseen these crises and prudently retired, to avoid making a figure AGAINST HIS INCLINATION, in scenes the secret of which will soon or late be brought to light;"—that is to say in plainer language, if plainer can be found to avoid appearing, as he must have done, had he continued secretary of state till the insurrection broke out, against his inclination, in opposition to his friends Gallatin, Dallas, and the other whiskey republicans on whom he must depend for his election to the presidency. Jefferson thus foreseeing those crises (which, by the way, were not at that time foreseen by honest men) and having prudently retired, his successor in office, Randolph, secretary of state, became also his ostensible successor as leader of the party opposed to "almost the whole" of Washington's administration. "Two or three days before the proclamation was published," continues Fauchet, "and of course before the cabinet had resolved on its measures, Mr. Randolph came to see me with an air of great eagerness, and made the overtures of which I have given you an account in my number 6. Thus, with some THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, the [French] republic could have decided on CIVIL WAR or peace! Thus the consciences of the pretended patriots of America have already their prices! What will be the old age of government, if it is thus early decapitated."
"As soon as it was decided," continues Fauchet, "that the French republic PURCHASED no men to do their duty, there were to be seen individuals, about whose conduct the government could at least form uneasy conjectures, giving themselves up, with a scandalous ostentation to its views, and even seconding its declarations."
Can Mr. Jefferson, without confusion, even at this distant day, look in the face of the ringleader of that insurrection, raised by himself to one of the most important offices in the government, and hear these sentences repeated? Are these the men about whose republican virtues we hear so much? When they found that the French republic would PURCHASE no men to carry on the insurrection, then it was that they gave themselves up with scandalous ostentation to the views of the government, and even seconded its declarations.
With such facts as these staring us in the face, can it be difficult to account for Mr. Jefferson's high esteem and affectionate attachment to Paine, who so forcibly and so seasonably declared his opposition to the administration of WASHINGTON?
(To be continued.)

BOSTON, October 4.
[By the brig Fox, which arrived here on Saturday from Liverpool, we have received London papers to the 25th Aug. The extracts subjoined will shew that their contents are not altogether destitute of interest.]
LONDON, Aug. 23.
Private accounts from Paris talk of a sort of Ostracism, which is to be sanctioned by a Senatus Consultum, which will comprehend all those who have taken part in the troubles of the interior, or in intrigues with the foreign enemy. The incorrigible Royalists will, it is said, be conducted to the Frontiers of the Republic; while those who have been active in anarchic (or jacobinical) conspiracies, are to be transported beyond the sea: The list is forming under the eye of the First Consul; he has collected in a book, which he does not shew to any person, very detailed accounts of the most marked characters of the Revolution. No one knows who has furnished him with these accounts, but he consults this book every time he has a nomination to make or a rigorous measure to order.
This morning we received Paris papers to the 20th:—Every thing seems to confirm the report, that the Chief Consul is determined to inflict a signal punishment upon the Barbary Powers: The Moniteur of the 19th contains a detail of the depredations which the Dey of Algiers has been committing for the last six months upon the different powers of Europe. "It is useful," says the Moniteur, "to publish it, because in reading it we shall be less astonished at the extreme rapacity, than at the audacity of this barbarian, who thinks himself the sovereign of the universe, because he treats all other governments as if they were tributary to him." It must be acknowledged, however, that the conduct of these barbarians is less disgraceful than the meanness with which Europe has so long been guilty of in condescending to purchase their amity and forbearance.
The French government complain much of the latitude of observation in which the English papers indulge themselves with respect to the consular government; it is natural enough that they should be displeased with seeing that we can do what they dare not.
A letter from Madras says, a "most advantageous trade is now carried on with the Molucco Islands. The whole of the gold dust collected in Celebes is given in exchange for the manufactures of England and of British India. This lucrative branch of commerce, which has long been in the hands of the Chinese, is now fallen into the possession of the English."
August 25.—A division has sailed from Toulon against Tunis, with an Aide-de-Camp of the First Consul, who is to demand of the Bey the cause of his insults to the French flag. The Dey of Algiers will receive next a visit from the French squadron.
The harvest has commenced here, under the most auspicious circumstances, & Ceres smiles upon Suffolk: The golden grain is fallen in all directions, ripe, full and heavy. I am now conversing with a foreign Gentleman, arrived from the Banks of the Rhine: he assures me that the corn and vintage in Germany will be more productive this year than it ever was before in his recollection.
PARIS, August 21.
A very unexpected event has just taken place. The French government has entered an absolute prohibition of the introduction of English newspapers! It is no longer permitted to any person who ever to receive them. The Commissaries of the Police, have made a rigorous search in all the Coffee-houses and Cabinets de Lecture and carried off all the papers which they could find. This measure has been adopted in consequence of the remarks made in your Journal's on the article which lately appeared in the Moniteur.
This event has occasioned a strong sensation here. We can now receive the news from England only through the medium of the Hamburg, Frankfort, and Prussian Journals, which are too complaisant to copy any articles which may displease the French government.
General Vidal, formerly chief of Bernadotte's Staff, has been arrested, it is even said that Bernadotte has received orders to quit Paris, or, as it is commonly expressed, he has accepted of a mission to conceal his being disgraced. The government,

Although it has proclaimed its stability, it follows its old career. Its fears are as strong as ever, and in its terrors it spares neither poverty, ignorance, nor weakness. It is not uncommon to see a workman dragged from his work-shop to prison, without being allowed time even to take his coat with him; their wives (who are often comprehended in those cruel arrests) follow with their frightened children in their arms.
On the eve of the 15th, the people noticed, in a particular manner, the illuminations of the facade of the Magdalene. It is said that Madame Bonaparte's ladies of honor told her that many persons murmured at the idea of illuminating the very spot where the remains of the unfortunate Louis XVI repose in order to celebrate the anniversary of the birth of the man that occupies his place. Madame Bonaparte hastened to inform the Consul, who, acknowledging that there was some inconvenience, replied, that it was sufficient for the reflection to have been made by the public; in order not to yield to it, for he could not suffer it to be said that Bonaparte had trembled before the manes of Louis the XVIth.
P.S. I open my letter to say, that Bonaparte has passed a great part of the night in the Conservative Senate. The Pont Neuf, and all the adjoining places are filled with troops. At eleven o'clock this morning, the First Consul returned again to the Senate! Something of the first importance is on the tapis; but the post is going out, and I have not time to add even a conjecture as to its nature.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 12.
The following remarks accompanied the Liverpool Prices Current we published yesterday. They were omitted at the time through want of room.
N. Y. Pap. Liverpool, August 28. "In these last ten days there has been some demand for sugar; but, from the stock at market being considerable, and fresh arrivals shortly expected, we do not look for any advance in the prices.
"The demand for coffee has abated, and prices have rather declined, particularly of low qualities; and as they are still high for such during peace, we should not be surprised to see a further reduction take place.
"No demand at present for cocoa. "The demand for ginger is pretty steady.
"Logwood, of good qualities, meets a ready sale. "Of cotton there have been few arrivals of late; and the demand for most descriptions has again become brisk, at prices rather higher than our last quotations. Should the demand continue, we look for some further advance, as no great quantity of the old crop is now expected to arrive from the United States, and the flocks of the Bowed Georgias and Sea Islands are becoming low. Here are, however, considerable supplies of New Orleans at present in the market, great part of which are of middling and inferior qualities; but owing to the very low prices at which Bowed Georgias have lately been selling, the demand for these has been nearly suspended; and, should the latter meet with a farther advance, we think the attention of the dealers will be turned to the former description.
"Mahogany is in brisk demand, and but little in market. Fine large Nicaragua wood meets a ready sale, being very scarce.
"During this month the weather has in general been very favorable for the harvest. Considerable progress is already made therein in the southern and midland counties; and the produce, as far as can be ascertained at present, is expected to be considerable and of good quality. The weather for some days past has, however, been less favorable; and should it continue so a little longer, the crops may sustain considerable injury, and prices in consequence experience some advance; but these, until the fate of the harvest is more fully determined, are likely to continue peculiarly liable to fluctuation.
"Fresh Ashes are scarce; and the greater part of such as have arrived have been sold at the annexed quotations. "Rice supports its price in consequence of the very limited supplies; and a considerable portion of what does come, being exported, keep our market for home consumption very bare.
"About 1600 barrels of tar have lately arrived, the whole of which has been sold at 23s. per barrel; and if the importations that may shortly take place are not considerable, this price (high as it is in time of peace) may be supported for some time. Of Turpentine the supplies lately have not been very abundant, and the quotations continue to be supported.
"The demand for slaves of good qualities continues regular, and are likely to support a high price unless arrivals to a considerable extent should take place.
"Our market is very bare of tobacco of good qualities, and for such there is a very brisk demand. The stock, which is about 2000 hhds. consists chiefly of very inferior descriptions. As yet very little of the new crop has arrived, nor do we find that much is expected. The future prices will in a great measure be governed by the arrivals; but on the whole, we do not think they are likely to be lower."
FROM EUROPE.
Our foreign information this day, is highly important and interesting as it respects the situation of France. No absolute tyrant can ever maintain the full exercise of power, while the Liberty of the Press is unrestricted. Even the mighty BONAPARTE, with the immense ascendancy of authority, which he possesses, trembles before the tribunals of free investigation . Every measure had been adopted, within his own territories, to control the channels of public information; and left some light from abroad should disclose his dark system of policy he has prohibited the importation of English newspapers into France. In such a state of things, what has that nation to boast of under the appellation of a Republic; or who would not have preferred the tranquil reign of Lewis the XVIth seated on the throne of his ancestors, to the oppressive rule of a lawless usurper, who infuriated with ambition, has, through the blood and slaughter of half the globe, sought his own personal aggrandizement; and now sits himself down to reap the fruits of his exertions, in the slavery of his subjects. Happy it is, that the French people after passing the ruin and desolation of ten years revolution, are again the subjects of any thing, like a regular and permanent government; but happier far would it have been for them, and their posterity, had they remained loyal subjects under the administration of the Capets , and never listened to the syren songs of democracy, to be seduced under the yoke of a foreign tyrant.
[Boston Gaz.] Extract of a letter from a gentleman at St. Mary's, Georgia, to his friend in New Haven, dated Sept. 18, 1802.
"A gentleman arrived here this day from St. Augustine, who brings us the agreeable information of a Treaty between the Governor of the Spanish Provinces and the Indians. He says the Indians have returned all the slaves and a great number of horses, which they had taken from the Spaniards, and the white people who fled from the Province, were fast returning—that Bowles refused to attend the Treaty, and the Indians had sent a party to take him and bring him in, and it was thought they would get him, as he had no person with him except a white man by the name of Harris, from Georgia."
NATCHEZ, Aug. 11.
By a gentleman from New Orleans we are informed, that about the 10th of July, an engagement took place near Pensacola, between a Spanish galley and an armed Schooner belonging to the famous Bowles, commanded by Mr. Delacy, commonly called Count Delacy;—after exchanging a few shots the Schooner grounded, and was reduced to the necessity of surrendering. Our informant adds, that Mr. Delacy, and his crew were brought prisoners to New Orleans on the 20th ult. and are closely confined.

NOTICE.
ALL Persons are hereby forewarned from purchasing from Mr. Andrew Ramsay, or any other Person whomsoever, a NEGRO MAN SLAVE, by the Name of POOL, which I claim as my Property, and for which there is a suit instituted and now depending and undetermined in the court of Alexandria, and no doubt is entertained of a decision in my favour.
Sept. 16. LUCY WILSON. z2aw6t
To all whom it may concern.
A VERY extraordinary Notice appearing in the Alexandria Advertiser of yesterday, under the signature of Lucy Wilson, "forewarning all Persons from purchasing from me or any other Person whomsoever, a NEGRO MAN SLAVE, by the name of POOL," I deem it proper to state certain facts relating thereto, which cannot be controverted either by her or her Agent. Negro POOL alluded to, was left to my Mother by her Sister, Mrs. Ann J. Gordon, along with the residue of her Estate, not especially mentioned in her Will, and the only Negro therein left to Lucy Wilson, is one she now possesses, of the name of Lucy. Pool has been in my Mothers quiet Possession for about twelve Years past, and is now my Property by Deed of Gift from her, dated July last. I shall now only further add, by introducing part of a Letter in my possession, from one of the Executors, whose veracity will not be called in question, of which the following is an Extract: "I recollected that in several conversations with Mrs. Gordon, while she was ill at my House, she complained of —'s cruel treatment of Pool, and said she had determined to keep the Boy, that she should not be again in —'s power; that she had never given John Gordon a Deed for him, but she would make Lucy Gordon amends for her taking the Boy back again, by giving her Lucy, Hannah's Daughter, and these sentiments she expressed at the time I wrote her Will. Pool was in Mrs. Gordon's possession at the time of her death, and was afterwards inventoried and hired out as part of her Property. I related these circumstances to Mr. Campbell Wilson and Mrs. Wilson"

Dr. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR, A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obstinate Coughs, Asthma, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and Preaching 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 forenses 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 Henly, 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 unskillful 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, Consumption, Lowness of spirits, Lots of appetite, Impurity of the blood, Hysterical affections, Inward weakness, Seminal weakness, Fluorals (or whites) Barrenness, Violent cramps in the stomach and back, Indigestion, melancholy, Gout in the stomach, Pains in the limbs, Relaxations, Involuntary emissions, Obstinate gleets, Impotency, &c. &c. In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impoverishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no nourishment or cordial could repair a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE and EXTRACT of MUSTARD,
A safe and effectual remedy for gout, rheumatism, palsy, 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. JOHN HOOVER

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 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 Tercs 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—Purging, with slimy and fetid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms, should have immediate recourse to HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally during the warm season, will effectually prevent the vomiting and purging of children, a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands of the infant part of our cities. It is 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 subistency 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 an appearance a mere mucus, but upon close inspection quite replet 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 he 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 caused 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.
