EXTRACTS from Glasgow papers to the 2d October, received by the ship Liverpool Packet, in 36 days from Greenock.
LONDON, September 16.
The following curious conversation is said to have taken place between the chief consul and M. de Bourmont, a royalist general, a few months before he was, contrary to the faith of treaties, taken into custody, and immured in the temple of Besancon—where, it is said, he lately died.
General Clarke and Duroc were present during the dialogue.
BONAPARTE —"I am not satisfied with your conduct; you have lately been travelling in the Vendee, rather as a general. Still in a state of rebellion, than a vanquished citizen; you paid away, during your excursion, a good deal of English money, how came you by it? what have you to say for yourself."
M. DE BOURMONT —"I treated with government; I am sheltered under the faith of all treaties; and it would ill become me to assume the suppliant attitude of a conquered man—it is true that, on a very late occasion, I distributed money, which I had received from the British government; but it was for the purpose of paying off debts, which I had contracted during the war, and for the payment of which I pledged my word. Your generals had promised me that you would acquit the sacred debt; but as such did not prove the case, I felt myself called upon to adhere to the spirit and letter of my engagements, and to accept the means of doing so from the government which had authorised me to contract them."
THE CONSUL —"Sir, such conduct gives uneasiness to government. What do you mean by a treaty? Be it known that, when a Rebel is strong enough to enter into a treaty with his government, such convention leaves no other vestiges behind it, except those which policy suffers to remain; and you, sir, were nothing but a subject on the day you laid down your arms. From the present moment, however, our intercourse ceases, and I order you not to communicate any more with government, in your late capacity of Royalist chief! Throughout the whole of the important transaction I never attended to individuals; I wished to satisfy the body of the people in the Vendee, and I believe I have succeeded, I know, thro' your means, I am surrounded by emigrants, officers of your army, and that you still consider yourself as a subject of the Bourbons. All that I have further to add on that head is, that on the day the first attempt shall be made against the existing government of France you shall be taken into custody, because the generals are decidedly against the Bourbons, because they shall never be restored by me, and because, again, the man who called himself their subject is a rebel."
September 29.
According to report there is a plan in agitation to change the departmental form of division of the French republic, and to divide it into thirteen grand governments, each government to include two military divisions. Belgium is to form one of them which is to be placed under Joseph Bonaparte. The persons to whom these governments are to be entrusted are to take the titles of lieutenant-governors; the prefects are to correspond with them, and they are to correspond with the consuls.
Mr. Liston, his majesty's minister to the Batavian republic has hired the French hotel, in the Kleine Voorhout, which before the war was the residence of the French minister.
Citizen Lauriston, aid-de-camp to the first consul, has arrived at the Hague. He was presented to the states on the 21st instant.

GLASGOW, October 2.
Since our last, Paris papers till the 27th inst. have been received.
H. Hugel, the Imperial plenipotentiary at Ratisbon, has, in the name of the emperor of Germany, formally refused to ratify the conclusion of the deputation of the 8th ult. Count de Goertz, the minister of Brandenburg, has protested against the proceeding of the Imperial minister, and demanded that the deputation with the ministers of France and Russia, should definitely settle the indemnities, without the co-operation of the emperor of Germany. The sub-delegate of Bavaria voted to the same effect.
From a New York paper.
POSTSCRIPT.
Just as this paper was prepared for press a respectable merchant of this city, favored the editors with the Glasgow Courier, of the 5th October, which was received by the Liverpool Packet. We have been as copious in our extracts as our time would permit, of the interesting and important news it contains.
This paper states that the complexion of affairs in Switzerland has taken a very unexpected turn. The insurgents are everywhere successful. They have got possession of Bern & forced the Helvetic government to capitulate. The insurgents behave with the greatest good conduct. From the general sentiments throughout Switzerland in favor of the insurrection, it is obvious that there is no force at present there fit to oppose them.
Private letters from Paris mention, that at Rennes, an important jacobin conspiracy has been discovered by Mounier, the lately appointed prefect of that place. The garrison of Rennes, of about 6000 men, with their commander general S——, are charged as having strongly imbibed the same dispositions, as well as the civil authorities. The prefect, after much difficulty, suppressed the conspiracy, the general was arrested and conducted to the temple; and the garrison dispersed, and part of it sent to the colonies. The Paris papers are wholly silent on the subject.
The plan of indemnities continues on the continent, to be the principal object of attention. The emperor of Germany perseveres in his determined opposition to the proposed scheme of Russia and France. We fear that, though the principles upon which he acts be consistent with common sense, he must yield to the influence of the mediating powers. The French government has published a violent philippic against the emperor, for his attempts to erase Bavaria from the list of states. The first consul takes great credit to himself for his generosity, in forgetting the conduct of Bavaria towards France, and for his justice in settling the indemnities upon an equitable basis. The manifesto breathes the language of one who knows that he cannot be disobeyed.
The same paper mentions, that by a late decision of the courts in Jamaica, the consignees of produce in Great Britain, in case of non-insurance, are considered as responsible for every loss which may happen in consequence of fire.

BERN, September 17.
The following are the most recent details which may afford a precise idea of our situation. This morning the courier brought an account that the troops with red and black cockades, infested the roads. At Kichberg he was informed that their headquarters were at Soleure. Friburg has adopted the forms of the ancient regime. The number of insurgents actually in arms is upwards of 10,000. It must be acknowledged that they persevere the strictest discipline, pay for every thing with exactness and what appears inconceivable in the midst of this effervescence, not a patriot is ill treated by them.
General Andermatt has bombarded Zurich, which confined itself to a simple defence. A deputation was sent to him which received only evasive answers, and the bombardment commenced as soon as it returned. At length the government commissary brought him an order to cease hostilities. He is now stationed on the Albis with 700 men, and old general Steener with 1500 off the heights of Horgg; Reding is on the frontiers with 2000.
A Baron d'Erach is said to be the mover of the insurrection which broke out on the 12th. It is said that his party have taken Aarau and Brugg.
It appears that the chiefs of the small cantons have remained tranquil hitherto, and have faithfully abided by the truce; but they have, it is said, threatened to consider it as null, if Zurich continued to be molested. News from the frontiers of France announce that 1,500 French troops are on their march to Switzerland.
September 18.
Our troubles assume a more serious appearance. The government is daily losing some of its partisans. The means of force employed against Zurich have excited much irritation in several cantons which had hitherto joined no party. The deputies of the petty cantons gave notice of the rupture of the armistice the moment they heard of the bombardment of Zurich. The strong castle of Arburg has surrendered to the insurgents of Argovia.

Distinguishing signs of madness in Dogs. By Mr. MEYNELL.
Mr. Meynell, a celebrated fox-hunter in Leicestershire, having paid particular attention to madness among his dogs, communicated to a physician the following remarks, in answer to some questions proposed to him on that subject. In order (says Dr. Fothergill, the writer of this article) to prevent any mistake in a matter of such importance, I shall here present the reader with the result of his observations, copied verbatim, in his own words.
"The first symptoms of canine madness in dogs is, I believe, a failure of appetite, in a small negree. I mean that the dog does not eat his usual food with his usual eagerness; though, if better food be offered him, he may eat it greedily. A disposition to quarrel with other dogs comes on early in the disease. A total loss of appetite generally succeeds; though I have seen dogs eat and lap water the day before their death, which generally happens between seven and ten days after the first symptom has appeared. A mad dog will not, I believe, cry out on being struck, nor show any sign of fear on being threatened; though he will, very late in the disease, appear sensible of kind treatment."
"I have never known a mad dog show symptoms of the disease in less time, after the bite, than ten days; and I have known many instances of dogs having died mad, as late as eight months after the bite. I think the symptoms generally appear between three & eight weeks after the bite."
"A mad dog, in the height of the disorder, has a disposition to bite all other dogs, animals or men. When not provoked, he usually attacks only such as comes in his way; but, having no fear, it is peculiarly dangerous to strike at, or provoke him."
"Mad dogs appear to be capable of communicating the infection early in the disorder, & as soon as they begin to quarrel with, or bite other dogs."
"The eyes of mad dogs do not look red or fierce, but dull; and have a particular appearance, which is easily distinguished by such as have been used to observe it; but not easily to be described."
"Mad dogs never bark, but occasionally utter a most dismal and plaintive howl, expressive of extreme distress; and which, those who have once heard can never forget. So that dogs may be known to be going mad, without being seen, when only this dismal howl is heard."
"Mad dogs do not foam or froth at the mouth, but their lips and tongue appear dry and foul, or slimy."
"Though mad dogs generally refuse both food and drink in the latter stage of the disorder, yet they never show any abhorrence or dread of water, will pass thro' it without difficulty, and lap it eagerly to the last. But it is remarkable that tho' they lap water for a long time, and eagerly, and do not seem to experience any uneasiness from it, yet they do not appear to swallow a single drop of it; for, however long they may continue lapping it, no diminution of quantity can be perceived."
"I am persuaded, that this disorder never originates from hot weather, provocation, or from any other cause but the bite. For however dogs may have been confined, however fed, or whatever may have been the heat of the season, I never knew the disorder commence without being able to trace it to that cause; and it was never introduced into the kennel, but by the bite of a mad dog."
"The hairs of a mad dog do not stand erect more than those of other dogs. I do not know that there is any thing remarkable."

able in the manner of a mad dog's carrying his head, or his tail. I do not believe that dogs are more afraid of a mad dog than they are of any other dog that seems disposed to attack them.
There are two kinds of madness, both of which I have known to originate from the bite of the same dog. Among the huntmen, one is known by the name of Rigging, the other by that of Dumb Madness. In dumb madness, the nether jaw drops and is fixed, the tongue hangs out of the mouth, and slaver drops from it. In raging madness, the mouth is shut, except when the dog snaps or howls, and no moisture drops from it."
SALEM, November 14.
Arrived the sch'r Jonn, Capt. Henry Saunders, 40 days from Lisbon. Spoke nothing. Last Sunday night, lat. 42, 33 long. 65, 40, fell in with the ship Bellona, of New York, with no person on board, laid by her all night, and next morning on boarding her found she was laden with a valuable cargo of wine, thought best to man her with what hands he could spare, accordingly sent the mate and two men on board, with provisions, &c. and ordered her for the first port they could make. [ The crew of the Bellona were taken from the wreck by captain Stutson, of the sch'r. Lydia, and arrived at Boston on Tuesday last. ]
NEW-YORK, November 22.
The letter from which the following is an extract was communicated to us by a gentleman passenger in the ship Superior from New-Orleans who received it from a person of the first respectability there after the vessel had left port, and whilst she was waiting for a wind in the outer harbour.
NEW-ORLEANS, October 20th, 1802.
"At 8 o'clock this evening I left the office of the Intendant, who informed me that Peace had just been proclaimed; and that the neutral Commerce granted to the Americans, in consequence of the regulations of the 16th June, 1798, and the 18th October, 1799, had ceased, by virtue of the fourth article of the treaty the 27th October, 1795. They will not in future be permitted to make a deposit of their cargoes in this place, conformably to the 22d article, which has expired."
Capt. Abrams, from Port Republican, informs us that the French military outposts there had been ordered to retire within the city. The negroes were in a state of general insurrection.
The following extract of a letter from a gentleman at Cape Francois, dated the 29th of September, describes the present critical state of that country.
"The French troops which have been sent here, have been so much fatigued and harassed, that this and the prevailing sickness, and what have fallen by the Brigands have destroyed at least two thirds of them—at least 500 Americans have died of the prevailing fever, and are still dying daily. Fresh troops have been for some time hourly expected; news was received two days ago, that the troops destined for this island had revolted in France, and refused to march. What will be the consequence there, I cannot tell; but here it occasions great consternation. The news having reached the negroes, they are become more bold. They are fighting daily, & burning property in view of this place, at the distance of from two to twenty miles—They are well supplied with ammunition and provisions. The issue of battles is seldom spoken of openly."
"Last Sunday week, we heard, on board our vessel, a firing of platoons, more regular than I ever heard before, which continued more than two hours. The issue is unknown. Some out-posts that were occupied by black troops, have been replaced by sailors from shipping. General Christophe is yet in command. He has received a check or two; he is suspected and narrowly watched. Dessalines strikes terror wherever he goes."
"Notwithstanding this critical situation of things, a great deal of business is done. More than 200 sail of vessels now in port, & others are constantly coming in & going out. The re-building of the town goes on with great rapidity; sufficient workmen cannot be got. The government yesterday raised a contribution from the inhabitants of more than a million of livres: some merchants were taxed as high as 900 dollars, and others in proportion—American produce is in general plentiful, and very low. The abuse against the General in Chief, which circulates in the American papers, with the grudge owing, on account of the
conduct of the late administration, has considerably exasperated the French government against us, and here it is not very much in favor of a man to be an American."

Sloop Paragon, Dickinson, in 12 days from Bermuda. Left there, sloop John, just arrived in 20 days from this port. Nov. 13, experienced a very severe gale of wind which shattered our sails and rigging very badly. Nov. 14, off the Capes of Virginia, spoke ship Mary, of Boston, out 20 hours from Baltimore bound to Lisbon.
Ship Superior, Sinclair, of Philadelphia, in 36 days from New Orleans, and 24 days from the Bellise. Sailed, on the 20th ult. in company with the following vessels: ship Louisa, Wilson, of Philadelphia for Havre de Grace; ship Atlantic, Penrose, for Bordeaux; brig Charlotte, Diamond, for Baltimore; sch'r George, for Baltimore; brig Fame, Gosburgh, for Philadelphia. Left there a number of vessels, names not recollected. Several had been sold to the Spaniards. In lat. 36, 14, long. 74, 40, spoke the Danish sch'r.

Schr. Mercator, 21 days from Baltimore. From the 4th to the 7th inst. experienced very severe gales of wind from the N. N. E. On the 6th shipped a heavy sea, which stove the boat on deck to pieces, and split several of the sails.—Same day saw a small black sloop to leeward, about two miles distance; but the weather getting thick and foggy, soon lost sight of her. In about two hours the weather cleared, but could not see nothing of the sloop, and concluded she must have gone down, for at that time the Mercator could not be more than a mile off. 7th shipped several seas, and stove in a hoghead of water on deck. 9th, saw between 3 and 400 barrels a float, several pieces of boxes, and a small boat bottom upwards: the sea being rough, and the wind blowing fresh, could not pick up any of them. Captain Hopkins, formerly master of the ship Grand Turk (who with his wife came passenger in the Mercator) supposes the barrels and the other floating articles were from the brig _____, Gilman, which sailed for the West Indies from Baltimore, with flour a few days before, and was deeply laden; the side leather and many other articles being similar to those on board the brig.

W. which subsided without damage. 5th had several very severe gales, with heavy seas, one of which washed off the caboose, the boat and the flying jib, and split the foresail to pieces.

Schr. Northampton, Gamewell, from Edenton, N. C. Nov. 13, in a gale of wind sprung a leak, which obliged us to keep our pumps almost constantly going. 19th, about 40 miles south of Sandy Hook saw a schooner and a sloop on shore apparently high on the beach; the sch'r appeared to have yellow sides and white bottom; did not learn either of their names; supposed them to be northern vessels.

GIBRALTAR, Sept. 6, 1802.
JOSEPH IZNARDI, Esq.
SIR,
I have now to inform you, that four days ago, arrived here from Tetuan, 36 Moorish seamen, for the Tripolitan ship laid up here; among them is the commander of the Tripolitan brig sold here. They this day began to work on her.—The report is, that she is the Emperor of Morocco's property, going from hence to Tetuan for provisions, and from thence to Tripoli. Please to communicate this to the commanders of the United States' ships of war, and all others concerned. I am, Sir, your's, &c.
JOHN GAVINO.
P. S. A Morocco ship from Larash has been out some days.
A letter from Surinam, of the 1st of October say, "The British has still possession of this colony." And adds, "Capt. Prince, of Boston died here in July last, and that Mr. Tuffs, the American Consul is still sick, and not able to get out of his bed,"—by which we have reason to hope the report of his death circulated some time since, is unfounded.
A letter from a gentleman in Gibraltar, dated the 6th of October last, mentions that there were five ships of the line in that place; all of which had on the 5th of Oct. taken in 5 months provision and stores of all kinds, and were ordered to sea immediately. It was said that they were going up the Mediterranean. It was so sudden a business, that the best informed people there
were not able to tell the particulars or their destination. He adds, that it was evident some mischief was brewing, as on Thursday evening, the 2d of October, a brig of war passed that place from Malta, she sent a boat with letters to the commandant of the fleet; after which the Admiral proceeded to take in the above mentioned stores; and concludes his letter by saying, that every body there talk of nothing but WAR. [ Phil. paper. ]
Capt. Allen, from Madeira, arrived at New-York, informs, that in the beginning of September, a Portuguese ship of 44 guns, of the burthen of 1000 tons, with 200,000 dollars, and a cargo valued at 90,000. sterling, was blown up in the harbour of Madeira. All the crew perished except the boatwain and a boy, who were badly hurt. She belonged to John Crock, of Lisbon.
SELFISHNESS
The attention, which the generality of mankind pay to self, perhaps is never so collectively discovered as at a theatre. Every joke on a courtier's not paying his debts, is sure to receive a thundering applause from the pit and the galleries, while this debt is regularly repaid by the boxes on the first facetious allusion to horns or any other symbol of cuckoldom.

Dr. HAMILTON's ELIXIR, A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obsolete Coughs, Asthmas, 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 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 forensis 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 weaknesses, Fluor albus, (or whites) Barrenness, Violent cramps in the stomach and back, Indigestion, Flatulency, Gout in the stomach, Pains in the limbs, Relaxations, Involuntary emissions, Obsolete gleet, 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 foetid 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 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. (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 rearing 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 mercurius, but upon close inspection quite replete with very small living animal. Not one of the
sort of worms which usually infest 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.
