CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Monday November 21.
Debate on the passage of the Bill, fixing the Salaries of the Officers of Govern- ment. (Mr. Hastings's Speech Concluded.)
One of my colleagues has assigned as one of his reasons for the purposed aug- mentation of salaries, that a war has recom- menced in Europe, and that this war may produce the same effects in this country, in raising the price of produce and articles of the first necessity, which the last war produced. But will it not be prudent and proper for us to wait and know whether the same effects are produced by the present European war, before we undertake to in- crease salaries? Although my colleague does not now consider the proposed sala- ries to be too high, yet I find that in 1799, when house rent and provisions, I appre- hend, were much higher than they now are he voted against the temporary augmenta- tion of salaries—against those salaries which it is now the object of this bill permanently to establish. He says also, that he had not heard any complaints against salaries in that part of Massachusetts, in which he lives. No doubt my colleague is correct: but compare the salaries proposed to be increased by this bill, with the salaries of other persons in the government, with the pay of members of Congress, with the sala- ries of the highest state officers, and they appear to be enormously high. In Massa- chusetts the governor has a yearly salary of 2,666 dollars and 66 cents. The judges of the supreme court, who in holding courts in the several circuits, are obliged to be ab- sent from their families half the year or more, have each a permanent yearly salary something short I believe of 1,200 dollars, except the chief justice, who has some- thing more than that sum. The treasurer, secretary of the state, and attorney general, each permanent salaries, I think, of 1000 dollars: and yet I have never understood, that there has been any difficulty in Massa- chusetts in procuring suitable and proper persons to fill those important offices. I believe, however, that for a few years past some temporary grants have been made by the state to those officers (excepting the go- vernor) in addition to their fixed salaries. The bill before the House is intended to increase and make permanent the salaries of the officers therein mentioned—the law of 1799 was only temporary; by that law the salaries of certain officers were increas- ed for special and sufficient reasons, which then existed; but now, when those rea- sons, or many of them, no longer exist, we are about to augment salaries and ren- der permanent those, which were only li- mited and temporary.
Considering the increase and deprecia- tion of money, arising from the increase of bank institutions and other causes—per- haps the salaries of the officers named in the bill, as at first established in 1789, may now be considered as too low; but the great augmentation, which by this bill we propose to make to some of those salaries, I cannot but consider as too high for the present time, and I must therefore vote against the passage of the bill.
Mr. Varnum. My two colleagues have expressed an opinion, in which I agree that the salaries of the officers mentioned in this bill, as fixed before the year 1799 are, under the existing state of things, too low for the present time, but they have drawn different conclusions from this fact. I believe they are not now too high, and shall therefore vote in favor of the bill. Although I voted in 1799 against the bill for augmenting salaries, I believe there is a perfect consistency in the vote I then gave and in that which I shall this day give.— My colleague last up has stated that rents are fifty per cent. lower in this city, than they were at Philadelphia in 1799. For such an opinion I can find no data. In my mind the statement is highly erroneous, and I believe the other statements of the gentleman are equally erroneous. I wish he had brought forward the data on which he hazarded such statements. He further states, that provisions are at forty or fifty per cent. lower than they then were. This remark may, perhaps, be just in its appli- cation to bread, but it will apply to the article only; and this arises from circum- stances, of a temporary nature well known to every member of the House—There were greater crops of wheat the summer be- fore the last than were ever before known and the surplus of those crops now on hand has reduced the price. My colleague
lives in the midst of a country where one great staple article, beef, is raised in great quantities. I will ask him whether that ar- ticle has been higher at any period since 1799, than it has been for three months past. You may go through all the other articles of living, and you will find them, on the average, to be about the same thing that they were in 1799. But will my col- league say that any kind of manual labour is now lower than it was at that time. He will not. He must acknowledge that the reverse is the case in the country where he lives; and that a laboring man is there ena- bled to procure more for the occupation of his time than he could five years ago.— These being the facts, the conclusions of my colleague do not hold, when the princi- ples on which he founds them, do not ex- ist. I have reasons which justify me for voting for the bill. I believe that a person in genteel life might entertain company in Philadelphia, in the year 1799, as well for 3,500 dollars, as he can here at this time for 5,000 dollars. If this be a fact, of which I have no doubt, the salaries allow- ed by this bill, bear only a proper propor- tion to those that then existed.
My colleague observes that we are in fa- vor of making this bill perpetual. But he will recollect that the other day a resolution was introduced for making it temporary. Yet he voted against it, and though he now acknowledges that the salaries, as they stood before the year 1799, were too low, yet he does not make any specific proposi- tion to increase them, but contents himself with voting against the whole bill.
My colleague has additional reasons for voting against this bill inasmuch as it is propped up, he says, by the act of 1799, I voted for the amendment, to which the gentleman refers, for this reason. When the last act on this subject passed we heard it echoed and re-echoed through the news- papers, that an economical, saving admin- istration had raised their own salaries; and to prove this, a contrast must be made in distinct columns between the salaries as they existed previously to the passage of the act of 1799, & as they then stood, & in some districts of the country the people were deceived and made to believe that this administration, instead of continuing, had raised the salaries. This, together with the calumny, industriously circulated that secret service money to a vast amount, was put into the hands of the President, alarmed the people. To prevent the repe- tition of like misrepresentation, I voted for the amendment.
Mr. Varnum concluded his remarks by observing that he should vote for the bill on the express principle that it did not give the executive officers higher salaries in this place than they received in Philadelphia. In addition to this consideration, is it pro- bable, enquired Mr. Varnum, that gentle- men, competent to the discharge of the high duties of the first offices under the go- vernment, will serve as low here as they would in New York, or Philadelphia?— Will they have no regard to the prospect of educating a rising family? Is this cir- cumstance no inducement to an individual to accept a lower compensation, where the means of educating his children exist, than in a place where they are not be found?
(To be continued.) From the N. England Palladium. OBSERVATIONS ON EUROPEAN POLITICS. No. 11.
NOTHING is easier than to prove the magnitude of the danger arising to all inde- pendent States, from the exorbitant power of France. Happy would it be if we could easily point out the means that would adequately provide against those dangers. But with few exceptions, the civilized world has little other resource now, than it had during the preponderance of the Roman power, and that was to claim the humble privilege of lighter chains, in reward for the alacrity with which the trembling nation made haste to take them. To be admit- ted citizens and allies of Rome, procur- ed of old the envied security, that no other unjust and ambitious power than Rome should plunder and oppress them. France has already her Batavian, Spanish, Helve- tic and Italian allies, who though slaves, seem to think it almost liberty that the pro- perty of France is exclusive of that of all other oppressors. In estimating the power of France, it is indispensable to reckon among her means the contagion of her principles. Like little wirds, which are said to be charmed and de- rived of the power of their wings by the gaze of the serpent's eyes and lustre of his scales before he devours them, the states adjoining France were wonder struck at the tinsel glory of her revolution. The
frothy speculations of political soph- seemed to rise, by the force of power and success, above the contempt of the world and to take hold with the combined strength of fanaticism and vice, of the admirers of the vulgar, and among those vulgar the philosophers of all countries. The French revolution seemed every where to raise the physical above the moral force society. The magistrates of a nation, not one to a million, and the stupid multi- tude of Germany, England and America exulted in the hope of seeing themselves million times stronger than the laws, and strong enough to decree the seizure of yet uncounted booty these magistrates and laws had so long imperiously defended from their grasp. Wherever a Democra- cy is established, or its principles are be- ginning to gain credit, flattery will inevi- tably govern those who aspire to govern very thing. "Nothing ought to withstand the people," will be the cry, and nothing not liberty, property, or right, or even the people themselves, will be able to withstand their flatterers. Demagoguery is the power of mean tyrants: In a mutiny of the camp after the Generals are assassinated, the Sutlers and Camp-Cullermen become Ge- nerals, and their sword is a sceptre.
Hence it was, that the mere rabble of all Eu- rope were the admirers of the French revolution and wherever the French armies penetrated, the rabble was banded into patriotic military corps to expel the established magistrates and to sup- port new French masters. In this arrangement the French display their profound knowledge of mankind. They erected revolutionary Repu- blics, and made those sit on the tribunals who had it not been for France, would have pined in jail or rowed in the galleys. Thus they se- cured the active co-operation of men who, though fallen to virtue, to the laws and to their coun- try, were compelled to be faithful to their con- querors and protectors. Accordingly the vice want and ignorance of every nation has been found the ally of French Jacobinism.
This ally, every where potent, would have proved every where victor, had not the prophe- tic eloquence of Mr. Burke, and the noble spirit of the British Government and nation, deterred the arts and encountered the arms of France. That nation, by its efforts to save itself, has given a respite to Europe.
These efforts were such as no other nation of that quarter of the globe could have made. Jacobinism had intrenched itself deeply in the prejudices of the multitude. Fame and other incendiary writers, had made the rabble expect power, and vengeance, and plunder. The dread of famine is, also, one of the most active causes of popular commotion which the United States are not subjected to, and our people cannot even comprehend. The Jacobin societies were or- ganized and the Dukes of Bedford and Norfolk, and the opposition leaders in the House of Com- mons, were foolishly or wickedly at the head of the revolutionary meetings. The pretexts for the revolution were plausible. They clamoured for the reform, and if they could not have had leave to begin, they could not have been hindered from going on. An English revolution would have been inevitable; and that the object of the re- formers was revolution, and not reform, we have ample evidence; for almost every man of them, who has taken refuge here and in France has blasted & made a merit of his outrageous Demo- cracy. To this add the deep disaffection of Ire- land, and every man of discernment will admit, that any delay any remissness or timidity on the part of Mr. Pitt would have rendered the case of England forlorn and desperate. Happily the hand of our forefathers's sepulchres is still a land of law and liberty. The government is still what it was, strong in itself, stronger than ever in the affec- tions of the people. It has been tried, and that shaken, has withstood the licentiousness of its press, the disorders of its arms, famine, mutiny in the fleet, and more than all 18 months Peace with Bonaparte.
The opposition made by Great Britain to the progress of the French power, has undoubtably prevented the spreading of Jacobinism through every state in Europe. If we except any it will be Russia alone: Ignorance, distance and des- potism, have barred every avenue against its entrance.
It may be said, Bonaparte is no longer the patron of Jacobinism: He, we shall be told, abhors and dreads the Jacobins more, and is more respected by them, than any man alive. It may be true that he deceives all his enemies, and the Jacobins of France no doubt wish, as all Jacob- ins ever do, unceasing revolution and holy in- surrection. He hangs, jails and banishes them. But nevertheless, he is the friend of the Jacobins of all other countries. The malcontents of all nations are his allies; the regular governments of all countries his abhorrence. The faction that cannot triumph by its own strength will gladly avail itself of his. The maxims, usages and even prejudices that favor established govern- ment and orderly ascended magistracy, cannot be reconciled with his usurpation.
The nature of his power is, therefore, not less formidable than its extent: He is, and from the nature of his usurpation must be, the strong- man armed against all lawful government. Is here in Europe any man stronger than he who will come and bind him?

The subscribers partake in the genuine and heartfelt satisfaction, which has, no doubt been generally experienced by the benevolent of this town, as well as by their neighbours and friends at a distance, in relieving the wants, and administering to the comforts of the poor and needy, such support and comfort, as we have had the means of procuring for them, have been rendered.
The funds we have received being now all expended, and sensible as we but too truly are, that many poor persons are greatly distressed for the want of fuel and other necessaries, in various parts of the town; our feelings direct us to recommend those objects of want and misery to the prompt attention of those persons, whose official duty it more immediately is to provide for the poor of the place. At the same time we hope for pardon, in taking the liberty of recommending at this inclement season, to every one in easy circumstances a practical observance of, (we had almost said the divine attribute) that first of human virtues, if not of moral duties Charity . It cannot be necessary to add, what is promised in Scripture, viz. that he who giveth to the poor layeth up treasure in Heaven. The poor are hereby informed that although our cash funds are all expended, there is yet remaining a little India meal with Andrew Jamieson and Joseph Thornton, who will readily distribute it to needy applicants.

It is recommended to all those interested, to pay attention to the following extract from the Corporation Laws, Page 24, Sec. 4.
"No person shall, during the market hours, make sale of, or offer, or expose to sale, nor shall any person purchase, any kind of meat, fowls, butter, cheese, eggs, or vegetables, at any place within the corporation, except at the market house.

From a late Liver pool Paper.
BOTANY BAY.
We are in possession of seven of the first news papers printed at Botany Bay. The mind actuated by levity, may treat such a communication with contempt; But whether we view this new colony commercially or politically, the great actions produced are such as baffle the philosopher, the statesman, or the philanthropist. The papers themselves printed in a style, that 40 years ago would have seemed elegant in this country are not noticed by us as literary productions, but as the first essay of a colony.
It is now 18 years since the first establishment was made in South Wales; and the colony is already England in miniature. It is little more than two centuries since the Europeans were settled on the continent of North America, which in this day one of the countries in the world that maintains its independence and dignity in the most decided and honorable manner.
We are ignorant as to the settling of colonies in the ancient world. Fable and fiction have enveloped those transactions in a state of darkness; but since Europe got connected with India and South America, we have had some very striking examples of the impossibility of what is termed colonizing a country already inhabited and enjoying a polished state of society.
We may send thousands of our most energetic and brave companions to the East Indies. They will either return home, or they will assimilate themselves to the inhabitants; and their children will resemble the natives of the country. The Spaniards experience the same with regard to South America, and time makes no change in the manners of the inhabitants.
In settling a colony in North America, England shed its blood, and performed fewer of those actions, which a misapplication of language has dignified with the title of great and brilliant; but it laid the foundation for a mighty state, already amounting to above eight millions of inhabitants, and affording by far the most extensive
five market for English manufactures that exists. The fair complement of inhabitants for the U. States will amount to above 150 millions! Men who will speak the English language, five under English laws, and continue to prefer English manners to those of other countries. Thus England has already established one of the greatest empires in the world; and this new country follows with rapidity that passes all example.
The first public effort of the inhabitants of Botany Bay, towards assuming a national character cannot be passed over without feeling and observation. It is a period that naturally leads to reflection; and the thinking mind cannot look forward without seeing the same things happen that have taken place in America, with this difference, that this infant colony increases in wealth and conveniences much more rapidly than that country did, which is now termed the U. States of America.
Besides the reflections suggested to the speculative politician, the man who possesses either humanity or religion, must be happy to find that those characters, whom bad company, and a number of concomitant circumstances, of which they could not get rid, rendered profligate and dangerous in this country, are become good and exemplary members of society in their new situation, where a guilty man shakes off shame, and becomes a fresh, worthy, and industrious inhabitant of the new country.
A century will not pass over till this new colony, feeling its own strength, will imitate the Americans, and become in the east, a great and powerful nation. What the consequence of this will be on our Asiatic possessions, we can no more tell, than what the independence of America will one day produce with respect to our W. India islands. We must only keep in mind that the men we are planting are Englishmen, and will possess all their ambition and all their energy.
It appears clearly from the papers now before us, which are much occupied by advertisements, like a provincial English newspaper, that the state of society at Botany Bay, is already greatly advanced. Public sales, articles lost and found, and even servants wanted, and articles of millinery and jewelry, and all other such matters are advertised in the same manner as in the most extensive and wealthy English settlements; and this arises to the intellectual view a very wide field of reflection.
The extent of New South Wales, is very imperfectly known; but the difficulties which attended the first settlement disappear daily; so that in a short time there will be few impediments in the way of its increase. One advantage it will enjoy over America is, that the new settlers are not scattered abroad as they were there, but by extending from one spot, will do it with much more ease and advantage.
The publishing of a paper is an act which gives a sort of unity and character to the establishment; and we see in that the beginning of a country which in a short time exceed in power and energy, Italy, Greece, Turkey and those parts of the world that at one time held all the rest in subjection and contempt. It is impossible to reflect on the past, and look at the future without being impressed with feelings of those changes which take place in human affairs, and in the family of the world. We must consider this new branch as one that promises to maintain its importance in a manner that will not disgrace the nation from which it sprang.
There is without doubt, a disagreeable idea attending the mention of Botany Bay; and there are those whose levity will lead them to look contemptuously on the country; but when we consider that such an establishment is raised from that part of society that was lost to the country, and had justly forfeited their rights how highly ought we to admire the humanity and policy of those who converted the ignour of justice into so mild a channel, and from the crimes and misfortunes of mankind, raised a society that promises to become so respectable and worthy of protection.
Findley.—This creature, such are the times! has become a great Speech Maker in Congress, and seems disposed to take a very active part in the proceedings against Mr. Chase. As a means, we suppose, of getting himself put on this committee of enquiry, he took care to tell that he was on the committee appointed to enquire into the causes of the failure of Suckler's expedition, and that "the committee reported a large wooden box full of testimony."—A curious kind of a report this to be sure—But poor Findley was disappointed—Mr. Mason would not take—If he had been one of the committee they would perhaps have "reported another large wooden box," and packed up his colleague Smilie in the box and reported him with the rest of the testimony. In that case, if (as we think is very likely) it should happen with this enquiry, as Findley states it did with the other, that is, that the "party applying for the enquiry did not wish a disclosure of the testimony," then indeed poor Smilie might remain shut up in the box for life—to the great loss of democracy and the grief of the good democrats.
Fred. T. H.
Examining the fragments of writing which have come down to us from the times of monkish darkness, when the human understanding, as well as conscience was kept in fetters, and the churchmen of the day contrived to make a monopoly of learning, by shutting out as far as they could the laity from the use of letters, we find a most deplorable want of that sedate and serious wisdom which distinguished the latter end of Paganism, and
that wit, which has rendered the face of the civilized world so illustrious since the arrival of learning—or to use the words of Dr. Johnson, "Since learning triumphed over her barbarous foes." All was during that time quaint quibble, or miserable conceit, and these continued for a long time afterwards to be affected by the greatest men. Shakespeare now stands a signal instance of it. Sometimes, however, we find a lucky thought in the rubbish of those times, and among these we consider one which has been noticed by Lord Byron. "One of the Fathers (says his Lordship) saith that there is this difference between the death of old men and young men: that old men go to death, and death, comes to young men."
All the force of democracy is now in requisition to abuse Mr. Tracy, of Connecticut. So much the better. It demonstrates more strongly than any thing else, the irresistability of his arguments against the alteration of the constitution; as instead of confuting them they are reduced to the necessity of attacking him.

THE DREAM.
Vision of bliss! yet stay, ah stay, Why on swift wing fl'it thou away? Why to my throbbing heart restore The cherub form I still adore; Then envious from my eager sight, Shroud it in shades of deepest night? 'Twas but a dream—be still my heart Confused, distemper'd fancy's art, Who, fondly turning to the past, Wrought the dear cheat too fair to last. Swifter than thought it guides away— Delusive bliss one moment stay. Dream of delight, yet once again Return and sooth the regret's fond pain, Restore again that laughing eye Ting'd with heav'n's pure azurean dye, That bloomy cheek, soft and fair, Elysium's sweets seem'd treasur'd there; O autumn hair the wavy shade Which o'er his lowly forehead play'd; The scarlet lip, th' endearing wile, The polish'd form, th' enchanting smile; All that a mother's heart could charm Or with fond pride her bosom warm. Soft power of sleep, thy leathern dews O'er ev'ry willing sense effuse. The substance lost, oh! give the shade; Let no rude noise again invade. Fair as in life, my arms he clasp, Bring the bright vision to my rest. Since dreams are all I dare to hope, Oh! give the dear illusion scope; Again the fancied bliss ret're, Benignant power, I ask no more.

Dr. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obsolete Coughs, Asthma, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and Approaching Consumption.
To parents who may have children afflicted with the HOOPING COUGH.
This disease 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 its 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 forcible 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 dissipatid pleasures—juvenile indiscretions—science in climates unfavourable to the constitution—the immediate 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 unresisted in the cure of
Neurous disorders, Violent cramps in the stomach and back, Consumption, In liver, Liver, melancholy, Loss of appetite, Gout in the stomach, Impurity of the blood, Pains in the limbs, Hysterical affections, Relaxations, Inward weakness, Involuntary emissions, Seminal weakness, Obligate glects, Fluorals, (or whites) Impotency, &c. &c.
Buttenels,
To 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 Life 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.
T. WEATHERBURN.
John Hoover, rope-maker, South Second Street, between Mary and Christian-Street, Philadelphia, voluntarily maketh oath as follows, namely, That his wife, Mary Hooper, 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 being 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.

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 food, in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears an analogy whatever of similar title, so commonly composed of operating with violence; on the contrary, 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 rotundity or foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. They are particularly efficacious in carrying off all gross humors and eruptions, feverish 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 Tercs or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Uncurhina, or short, flat, white worm, and lastly, the Taenia, or tape worm, so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and 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 flupy and fecal stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and tickles at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—Slow fever, with irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—sometimes pale and a hasty countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed. Persons affected 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 necessary treatment in such cases.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness, having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
CASES OF CURES—by Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges.
(Selected from thousands) the authenticity of which any person may ascertain, either by letter or personal application.
TAPE WORM.
Mr. SAMUEL FULLER, Inn-keeper, on the Harford road, ten miles from Baltimore, began about 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 a bout 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 merits are abundantly evident in innumerable cures of infants.
Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, Yorktown, Pennsylvania.
Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOTHER, minister of the Moravian church, in Yorktown, 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 mercurius but upon close inspection quite reeled with very small living animals. Not one of them was a worm, which usually afflicts 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 MOTHER.

ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS REWARD.
RANAWAY from the subscriber on the 29th of October last, a negro man slave named BOB,
about 20 years of age, five feet nine inches high straight limbed and well formed; said slave hath an impediment in his speech which prevents his readily replying to a question. He commonly wears ear-rings. He took with him a variety of good clothing, a description of which is unnecessary, as it is probable he has changed them. He has been frequently seen about town since he absconded, and in all probability is now secreted by his mother, Winney Brown, formerly the slave of Mr. JOHN MUIR, late of this town, but now said to be free. The above reward will be paid for securing said Negro BOB, in any goal, and a further reward of TEN DOLLARS for the discovery of those who have been accessory to his concealment.
Captain's of vessels, &c. are forewarned at their peril, not to take him away.
