LINES ON THE DEATH OF COMMODORE BARRY, BY MICHAEL FORTUNE.
Columbia's Friend! freed from this worldly Coil, Now rests (so Heav'n ordains) from human toil; A Patriot firm, thro' chequer'd life unblam'd, Agallant Vet'ran, for his prowess fam'd.
Beneath his Guidance, Lo! a Navy springs, An infant Navy spreads its canvas wings; A rising Nation's Weal, to shield, to save, And guard her Commerce on the dangerous Wave.
Who e'er the Sage, his Character shall scan! Must trace those Virtues that exalt the man, The bold achievement and heroic deed To Honor's fame the laurel'd Brave that lead!
Long, for his Merits and unsully'd name, (Dear to his friends and sancti'd by fame) His clay cold Relics shall his Country mourn And with her tears bedew his hallow'd Urn.
Come cheering Hope, celestial Cherub come! Say, that his Virtues soar beyond the Tomb; Say, that with Mercy, in ethereal Guise, His white robed spirit climbs yon op'ning Skies.
Philadelphia, Sept. 19th 1803.
FROM THE PORT FOLIO.
THE LAY PREACHER.
"The fashion of this world passeth away."
As I am only a Lay Preacher, it must not be expected that I should always exhibit that accuracy of sermonizing, which characterises the settled Pastor. But having observed, in the course of a long and regular attendance of public worship, that divines are in the habit of dividing their matter, and of adjourning, sometimes, the morning exhortation till after dinner, I thought it expedient when I selected the fruitful theme of last week's meditation, to reserve part of its topics till now. For during the process of critically examining my subject in all lights, I found that fashion regulated speculation no less than practice, and that opinions as well as dresses, had their times and seasons. As we are told by a profound reasoner, that as there is but one sun in the natural, so there can be but one truth in the intellectual world; an abstract metaphysician in his cell, would suppose, that, by this time, one truth was discovered, and, hence, necessarily, induced uniformity of thinking. But this is a mere reverie of a novice in the history of man. In theology, in the healing art, in politics, in the fine arts, and in mere polite literature, in whatever interests, in whatever amuses our species, perpetual vicissitudes occur, and what is supposed to be settled by one party, at one time, is unhinged by different theories at another.
In the infancy of the colony at Plymouth, and at the erection of the Saybrook platform, our emigrant forefathers rejected with loathing, the fat luxury of Luther, and starved themselves on the mean fare of Calvin. They were doubtful even of scriptural truth, if it had issued from the Clarendon press, and would not read the sermon on the mount to edification, unless imprinted in a Bible at Geneva. Willard's body of divinity was their law and testimony, and reprobate was that sinner, who would adventure to read and practise a more gentle and generous system. But such heavy and clanking fetters of the mind were too irksome to be long worn patiently by fretful sceptics, and infant catholicism, in its cradle, at length ventured innovation. Good works were sometimes associated with implicit faith, and the piety of our primitive Christians was not always horror struck at the union. In process of time the reign of rigor declined, and now it may be said the high prerogative of superstition has become as nugatory as kingly power in France. For a new dictator in divinity, who knew not Calvin, arose, and Chauncy considering brimstone as a Scottish or an old wife's fable, proclaimed salvation to all men, and insisted that a profligate should not be eternally singed for his sins. Hume and Bolingbroke, with elegance and elaboration, but with the darkest sophistry, and Boulanger, an audacious Frenchman, in his 'Christianity Unveiled,' have presumptuously attempted to sap the Christian's fortress, and now to represent the son of Mary as a mere man, and now as an imposter. These writings have induced flimsy opinions, called from their nature, deistical, to predominate, and their professors, far from consulting the editions, either of England or Geneva, will inspect no bible. Perhaps the accurate reader will pronounce my enumeration incomplete, unless I notice that second edition of Tom Thumb's folio, called 'the Age of Reason.' But as this,
in mechanic's phrase, is but a bungling vamp of absolute infidelity, written by a drunken author, rarely quoted, except by the lowest vulgar, and then in the lisping accents of intoxication, I will not descend to an analysis, but determine this head of my discourse with the warmest wishes, that in spite of jarring opinions, Gospel charity and benevolence, may be, everlastingly, fashionable, and that men will not expect a more excellent mode from the new fangled looms of Paine and of Paris.
Physic has experienced more revolutions than Poland, or even France, since the Capets are no more. Berhane has prescribed at Leyden, what Brown would reject at Edinburgh. Gout must be pampered, according to one physician, and starved by another. The small pox, like Sancho Panza, is sometimes blanketed into submission, and sometimes every wintry wind must be invoked to blow the infection away. Dr. Cheyne insists that his patients shall quaff a perpetual bowl of milk, while a more jolly physician directs as perpetual and much ruddier draughts. Le Sage's Sanguine drained every vein, and now every vein must be inflated like a bladder. Cullen departed from Berhane, Brown has exposed and abused the heresy of Cullen, and probably, by this time, some European projector has started a new theory, to the utter destruction of the old.
A logician, considering the two subjects, as equally variable, would infallibly class weather cocks and politics together. We behold vast empires sometimes governed by a solitary woman—and petty states headed by a mob of rulers. Kings, once ranked with gods, are suddenly and capriciously degraded among felons. Government, as a nervous writer expresses it, is sometimes scandalously relaxed, and then violently stretched beyond its tone. The Corinthian capital of society, laboriously erected by aristocratical artists, is prostrated by popular fury in an hour. In our own country, political modes are perpetually fluctuating. Prior to the formation of French friendship, that people, their religion, and their politics, were equally detested. The Pope was antichrist, the French king his high steward, the government of France was the archetype of Turkish despotism, and the nation viewed as a motley collection of coxcombs and slaves. Mark the instant operation of a single defeat, on the whole political sense of America! A captured Burgoyne could metamorphose an arbitrary Lewis into the friend, the patron of republicans. But the love towards Lewis is soon waxed cold, and Marat had his proselytes here as well as at Paris.
Very suddenly have most of our political fashions past away. Britain has been called a mother, a hag, a sister, or a fiend. Our rulers, are perpetually wrangling concerning the garb of government. Some, from Geneva or Virginia, affect the broad mantle of republicanism, which covers a multitude of sins. Others prefer French manufacture of the Paris cut. A few, perhaps, wish to import materials from England, but there is a good warm, well made, easy garment, made to fit any one, called FEDERALISM, which the Lay Preacher actually prefers to his canonicals, and prays may be constantly worn, and an unchangeable mode.
From the Pittsburg Gazette.
COLONEL BUTLER.
This officer, was among the first of his countrymen, that appeared in arms and in uniform, in the militia of Pennsylvania, at the commencement of the revolution; and when troops were raised to compose a regular army, he was commissioned, first as a subaltern, and afterwards as a captain in the 2d Pennsylvania regiment.
In 1780, among five brothers then in actual service, it became his lot to retire from the field, to afford that aid and protection due to his infirm and aged parents.
In 1791, when our frontiers were harassed by an Indian war, having the command of a battalion offered to him, he quitted his family and farm, and accepted that appointment.
On the memorable 4th of November, having led his battalion to the charge, he received a wound in the leg—this being dressed, he again advanced to the charge, and fell, having the same leg broken by a rifle ball. To an officer less brave, the first wound might have been a sufficient apology for withdrawing from the scene of immediate action—this he in both instances declined, and daring to perform an action more heroic than any recorded in the annals of our country, being placed on horseback with his shattered limb, a third time faced the enemy, and aided in making that impression, which enabled the remains of our unfortunate army, to attempt and effect its retreat.
This conspicuous act of valor added lustre to a character, respected in civil life, and highly esteemed in the army. By regular promotion, he is on the present establishment, second in command.
To the astonishment of the people in this quarter, who remember his services and appreciate his
merits, they are informed, that Colonel Butler has lately been arrested, and ordered to Frederick Town, Maryland, to be tried on charges exhibited from the war office.
Uniformly attached to the character and principles of Washington, Col. Butler has steadily pursued one course. Trimming not with the times, he declined to trim his war-worn locks, down to that laconic standard which a dull fancy suggested and which caprice prescribed. Has this been cause of offence?
Is his arrest necessary to make way for some favorite minion?
Or is it part of a system, which denounces every man, however meritorious, who does not profess to belong to the present ruling sect? A system by which the renegado of yesterday is elevated, and the revolutionary patriot depressed? Which prefers a sword of wood to one of steel? That system which displaced the valiant Mifflin, and provides for the coward Lyon? Which put down the honorable Giles,* and put up the scoundrel Cox?
If that is the case, (such is known to be the integrity, and high sense of honor, possessed by the gentlemen of the army generally) it is believed to be impossible to form a court martial, that would bend to such views. Nor would the secretary of war, himself a soldier, be the voluntary instrument, on any trivial pretext, to lend his aid in depressing merit so generally acknowledged.

On Sunday arrived at Boston the regular trading ship Galen, captain R. Hinckley. She left London the 25th August and the Lands End 2d September. The papers received by this arrival are to the 25th Aug. which is one day later than those received by the Calista; but they contain no additional intelligence of any moment.
LONDON, Aug. 25. A Dutch and Hamburg mail arrived yesterday without bringing any very important intelligence. Indeed the German papers are more than usually deficient in the reports of negotiations in the Cabinet, or movements among the forces of any of the Northern Powers. Nothing at all is said of the Russian fleet, or of any intention of its leaving the Baltic. Indeed we have uniform thought that the speculations in this country respecting the aid of Russia against France, was over sanguine.
The report of the Royal Standard being about to be raised in the Western departments of France, under the French Princes, or their officers, gains ground. It is said that Pichegru, as well as Du-mourier, has been consulted by the Princes of France.
It was mentioned yesterday, that the French troops in garrison at Dunkirk, and Boulogne, and other parts in the North, have shown symptoms of aversion to Bonaparte's government.
On the 23d August Mr. Harding, an eminent printer and bookseller of Liverpool, possessed of £11,000. in bank property, cut his throat, under hypochondriac terrors, as was asserted, of the threatened invasion of England.
From Copenhagen, letters of the 2d instant mention that the Danish Court, is but too well apprized of the further ambitious views of the French Government, and has taken its measures with the Court of Petersburg, to repel by force any further encroachments. The French had promised to the Northern Powers, not to transfer the theatre of war to the Right Bank of the Elbe; yet they did so, by disarming the Hanoverian army and seizing the Duchy of Lawenburg. By this unprincipled conduct they have penetrated to the frontiers of Mecklenburg and Holstein, whose sovereigns enjoy the most special friendship of the Emperor of Russia. His majesty the emperor of Russia has, it is said solemnly guaranteed the German possessions of his Danish majesty, and promised, in case of an attempt made by the French to interrupt the navigation of the Sound or Baltic to assist him with all his forces by land and sea. Respectable private letters from Berlin of the 2d inst. state what follows: "Our court despairs at last of preserving its neutrality—The flames of war will most likely break out in Northern Germany, as it is reported that our privy counsellor, M. Lombard, whom the king sent to Bonaparte with proposals to quit Rotzebute, the banks of the Elbe, and certain parts of Weser, has not succeeded in his mission. On this account, a courier has been sent to France from the Court of Prussia, and on the answer which is expected here the latter end of this month, the future tranquillity of the North entirely depends." All the letters from Hanover contain daily accounts of fresh taxes laid on by the French for the support of their army, which is now nearly new clothed and armed at the expence of the electorate. There, as in some parts of the country invaded by them last war, the system of plunder is carried on methodically, and without any kind of bustle, to an extent hardly credible.
A late Paris paper contains a letter received from Citizen Gregoire, mineralogist, dated Basil's Streight, King's Island, Dec. 7. 1802, in which he gives the following account of the English settlement in New Holland.
"After leaving Van Diemen's Land, our next halt was at Port Jackson. That rising colony is the first from which the natives have no right of complaint against Europeans. They have been treated with every attention; but still resist all attempts to civilize them. Though living for these fifteen years with the English, they have adopted no English custom. Clothes to them are still a superfluity. They rarely wear any thing to protect them from cold; never a garment to hide their nakedness. Their language has, however, by this intercourse, undergone some alterations."
"The English, during the fifteen years since their settlement here, have already carried their agriculture to a surprising extent. The forests have given place to corn fields of wonderful fertility. Here are already towns and villages affording every accommodation of European luxury. The population amounts to 8000 souls, none of whom are slaves. I send you a sample of the wool of this country. The sheep which bear it are from Peru, from Paraguay, from the Cape of Good Hope, and from Bengal. The breeds are here much improved, & are increasing daily. Those from Bengal, which have there nothing but hair, yield here lambs having a rich fleece. In a stay of five months, I made excursions into the country. Leaving Port Jackson, we proceeded to survey the rest of the coast of New-Holland. The commander sends to France, the Naturaliste, with what collections we have up to this time made. I have passed from the vessel in which I sailed for Le Geographe, on board which I succeeded my colleague and friend Depuch, obliged by ill health to return to France."

MARYLAND ELECTION. ASSEMBLY.

A commercial gentleman of this city, (Phila.) has favoured us with the perusal of letters from Havre to the 14th Aug. It appears by these, that a large amount in bills of the French agents in the West Indies, on the First Consul, have been presented, and almost without exception, refused payment. The plea for this is of a nature insuperable to prevent the recovery in many cases: to wit, that the bills are not accompanied with documents to prove the reality of the contract or the actual value of the articles sold. In most instances, this objection may amount to a total annihilation of the claim. Bills have been sold in Paris at 60 per cent. discount. In order to avoid this difficulty, it is said, that in future, all bills to be drawn in the colonies, will first be registered by the Minister of Finance at Paris; yet it is apprehended, that in a little time, the same vexatious delays and evasions will be created, by equally unjust pretext, on the part of the French government who evince no disposition for equity. Holders of bills of this description are advised to procure every necessary voucher, and to forward them without delay. For goods sent to France to be admitted there, it is indispensably necessary for them to be accompanied with a certificate of their origin, proving them not to be of British production. The Mary Ann, of Philadelphia, although arrived previous to the decree requiring this certificate, is not permitted to enter. The S. Carolina, of N. York, is in a similar predicament.
The same letters add, that orders had been sent to the colonies, commanding the agents who issued these doubtful bills, to return home and arrange their accounts, so that the claims may be placed in a train of settlement.

IMPORTANT LETTER.
From the American Consul at Algiers, to the American Consul at Cadiz. (CIRCULAR.)
ALGIERS, August 2, 1803.
"I have to inform you, that this moment has entered this port two galloetas, Tripoline corsairs, with three lateen sails and carry four guns, from 50 to 60 men each, 13 benches of oars; they came from the eastward, will sail in a few days for the coast of Spain, no doubt in search of American unarmed merchant vessels. You will give this information to the masters of American merchant vessels, and to all whom it may concern in the port of your district, and adjacent, and to the Captains of any of the United States ships of war, which can be informed in time to prevent the threatened evil, and to search with vigilance for these marooning crafts."
I am with respect, Your obedient servant, (Signed) RICHARD O'BRIEN. Joseph Tzardi, Esq. Cádiz."
To the Captains and Supercargoes of such vessels of the U. S. of America as may present themselves at the mouth of the Elbe, being destined for the port of Hamburg.
GENTLEMEN, At the present unforeseen and very difficult crisis, an indifference to the Commercial interests of my country would be highly reprehensible in me; I have therefore thought proper to convene the Merchants of this city who are in habits of business with those of the United States, and to ask their opinion as to the measures which ought to be adopted. Happily for me, I have found my own impressions strengthened by this deliberation. The object of this communication is not to dictate or controul, but merely to advise you, as to the line of conduct, which it will be most prudent for you to observe, under existing circumstances.
In the first place, I would recommend your going into the nearest neutral port which you may be allowed to enter. In this you will attend to the orders you may receive from the blockading squadron, but avoid entering the ports of any of the Belligerent Powers except constrained to do it by superior force or necessity. As this circumstance will much increase the risk you may be obliged to incur in any subsequent change of destination.
To those of you who may not have Pilots, or be well acquainted with the Danish Coast, it is well to observe, that the river Eyder, is not navigable by vessels drawing more than ten feet water. On your arrival in the nearest neutral port as above recommended, should your cargo entirely be consigned to One House, you will write them for instructions and such arrangements for an additional freight and insurance in case of carrying it to another port, as prudence may suggest. Should it be addressed to several consignees, in forwarding a copy of your manifest to me, I shall communicate it to them and cheerfully lend my aid for the common interests of all concerned.
I am, &c. (Signed) J. M. FORBES, Consul of the United States of America
An obliging friend handed us the following letter. It throws some light on a subject of considerable moment.
[New-Eng. Rep. HAMBURGH, July 16, 1803.]
SIR, In the present extremely difficult moment, it is impossible to foresee with any degree of certainty the event of the measures which are now taking. The question of the neutrality of the Elbe, now under discussion and soon to be decided, involves as important consequences for Europe, as any question ever agitated, as it will probably commit the few powers which have hitherto preserved their neutrality. Under these circumstances I can only give you the universal opinion confidently entertained here yesterday—that either by accommodation or force of arms, our river would certainly be free in a very few weeks—say one month. Our hopes fortify us in this belief, and did circumstances compel me to act, it would certainly be on this opinion.
Extract of a letter from the captain of the ship South Carolina, to his owners, dated Havre, August 17, 1803.
"I wrote you from Fecamp three days after my arrival here, but did not mention that all Americans are embargoed for want of certificates of their cargoes from the French consul, certifying that they do not consist of the manufactory or produce of Great Britain, nor any of the colonies.—This order of the French government was passed during my passage, for which reason it was out of my power to procure one."
"In this situation we are detained, without having liberty either to discharge or depart with the same cargo. I have been in Paris for three weeks, using all the interest that lay in my power, with that of Mr. Livingston, our minister, and many others of great interest, but all to no purpose; but expect soon to get through with it one way or other, either to return with the same cargo, or discharge."
"The business is all transacted through the hands of the First Consul, who presides over the civil as well as military departments."
August 20.
"I have just returned from the tribunal respecting the suit with the consignees of the cargo; it has been plead upon both sides and waits the determination of the judge, which will be on Monday next, whether the consignees shall pay demurrage or not. I think there is no doubt of a favorable decision. At any rate, I will be obliged to return with the same cargo for New-York, as the French government is determined to enforce the law."
On the 3d of September, an unfortunate duel took place on the Spanish shore, between Thomas Moore, Esq. of Natchez, and lieut. Buck, of the army of the United States, in which the former received a mortal wound through the in-
testine, which terminated his existence in twenty-four hours.
MEMENTO FOR A TYRANT.
He (Julius Cæsar) thought tyranny, as Cicero says, the Greatest of Goddesses; and had frequently in his mouth a verse of Euripides, which expressed the image of his soul, that if right and justice were ever to be violated, they were to be violated for the sake of reigning. This was the chief end and purpose of his life; the scheme that he had formed from his early youth; so that, as Cato truly declared of him, he came with sobriety and meditation to the subversion of the Republic. He used to say, that there were two things necessary to acquire, and to support power; soldiers and money; which yet depended mutually upon each other. With money, therefore, he provided soldiers; and with soldiers extorted money; and was of all men the most rapacious in plundering both friends and foes; sparing neither prince, nor state, nor temple, nor even private persons, who were known to possess any share of treasure. His great abilities would necessarily have made him one of the first citizens of Rome; but, disdaining the condition of subject, he could never rest till he made himself a monarch. In acting this last part, his usual prudence seemed to fail him; as if the height to which he had mounted had turned his head and made him giddy; for, by a vain ostentation of his power, he destroyed the stability of it: and as men shorten life by living too fast, so by an intemperance of reigning, he brought his reign to a violent end.
Middleton's Life of Cicero.
MODERN PATRIOTISM.
If the different political sectarians who are attached to the democratic party, were not awed by the respectability, by the talents, by the wealth, and by the integrity of the federalists, there would at once be a convulsion among the leaders of democracy, by far more dangerous than all the enmity that exists among the whole body, to federalism.
An accurate classification would divide the Democrats into many different sects. At present we shall content ourselves by exhibiting them in two only. These are genuine, honest, undesigining republicans, and unprincipled, demoralizing jacobins. The first seem to embrace almost all the country people who are attached to the cause of the present administration. The second are few in comparative numbers; these are men of craft, education, information, intrigue, and ambition. They profess the principles which honest politicians respect; they pretend to zeal, to a general devotion to the people; and thus establish themselves by deception. Their work is not yet accomplished. They are regarded in the grand denouement, by the solid, firm, impenetrable, unyielding phalanx, which is opposed to them by genuine federalism. It is against this phalanx that all the different democratic sects, from the virtuous republican to the unprincipled anarchist, unite their forces. Happy, indeed, is it that our country is saved from the impending ruin, by a body of such insuperable resistance. Without pretending to foresee or foretell when this dangerous delusion is to terminate, we cannot refrain from expressing unfeigned joy that there is something which promises to countervail the misrule of vice and vicious men. The cormorant democracy preys upon itself. Clinton and Burr; M c Kean and Duane; Mercer and Moore; Taylor and New: all devour each other: while the genius of America, in a mouldering cave, retired from view, weeps over the degeneracy of her sons.
(Anti Democrat.)
"We are born to sorrow as naturally as the sparks fly upwards." So says the inspired writer. The greatest virtue to which our nature can aspire, is that of bearing the evils inseparable from our condition in this life with dignity, calmness, and fortitude. This is something above philosophy. The power of casting out of the thoughts, misfortunes which cannot be retrieved, and bearing them without murmuring, is happily illustrated in a story that is told of a certain physician who ventured five thousand guineas upon that famous Bubble, the South Sea scheme .—When it was announced to him at Garraway's that it was all lost, "It can't be helped," said he, "it is but going up five thousand pair of stars more." Such an answer gave him a fairer title to a statue, than he could have had, if he had killed as many men as Bonaparte himself.

DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, Outworn Coughs Asthma, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and Approaching Consumption.
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 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 hygings in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of
 Nervous disorders, Violent cramps in the  Consumptions, Stomach and back,  Lowness of spirits, Indigestion,  Loss of appetite, Melancholy,  Impurity of the blood, Gout in the stomach,  Hysterical affections, Pains in the limbs,  Inward weakness, Relaxations,  Seminal weaknesses, Involuntary emissions,  Fluor albus, (or whites) Obsolete gleet,  Barrenness, 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 (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.

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, 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 effectual 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 Tereis or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbita, 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 is full of joints—it is most hurtful, and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted gums—itching in the nose and about the seat—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Starting and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purgings, with slimy and 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 familiar 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 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, Yorktown, Pennsylvania.
Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOLTHER, 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 mere mucus but upon close inspection quit repleed with very small living animals. Not one of that sort of worms which usually afflict children came from him. Since that period he grew remarkably better in health and though lean, has got a fresh and lively complexion. Upon different occasions I have used this medicine as a purging substitute, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly-ache, or any of those disagreeable sensations, so often occasioned by purging medicines. Upon the which 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.
