CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Wednesday March 2.
DEBATE,
Upon Mr. Griswold's resolution, to institute an investigation of the report of the commissioners of the Sinking Fund.
(Continued.)
This statement (R.) shews in the sixth column, the total amount in dollars to be provided each year in America, in order to meet the payments in Holland. It states that in 1801 the sum of 950,965 dls. 50 cents had been remitted to Holland to meet the debt due there in 1802, and it likewise states that the sum of 2,711,692 dollars would be required for the year 1802. These two sums added together make an aggregate of three million two hundred and twenty two thousand three hundred and eighty seven dollars 50 cents, or about 1,300,000 more than the United States were bound to pay in Holland in the year 1802. This sixth column of the statement (R.) is transferred to the statement (S) where it forms the second column, and clearly proves that the excess of appropriation was intended to enable the commissioners of the sinking fund to apply the balance of the 7,300,000 dolls. to the purchase of bills of exchange in the antecedent year to meet the demands for the subsequent year. Further to prove that this was the intention of the law, it may not be amiss to state that the report of the secretary of the Treasury for the last year before alluded to calculates upon an amount of revenue equal to about dolls. 10,000,000
Deduct from the expense of government equal to dolls. 2,660,000
And the annual appropriation of dolls. 7,300,000
9,960,000
Which sum of nine million nine hundred & sixty thousand deducted from the ten million of dollars, the annual revenue, would leave only to be laid in bills to meet the debt in Holland and in each succeeding year dolls. 400,000
10,000,000
How far it would have been prudent to have placed the affairs of government in this situation I leave it for gentlemen to determine. This last calculation is not made to prove the necessity of the commissioners of the sinking fund, having applied this balance in this way at this particular period, but to shew the real intention in passing the law. It is possible that this balance might have been expended in purchasing the stock of the U. States, and a sufficient sum might have been drawn out of the treasury to meet the debt in Holland for 1803; but this was a matter of discretion with the commissioners, and they have thought it more advantageous to employ the money in purchasing bills than in purchasing stock. The whole sum of seven millions three hundred thousand dollars, and considerably more has been applied to the payment of the debt, and after paying all we were obliged to pay, the Commissioners used their discretion in applying the balance to such particular kinds of debt, as they thought it would be best to provide for at that time.
I come now, Mr. Speaker, to the second point of the gentleman from Connecticut, and on which he has dwelt with great force; viz. that there is in the hands of the commissioners of the sinking fund an unaccounted balance of more than one hundred and fourteen thousand dollars.
The gentleman has taken up this idea, from the circumstance of his not being able to make the first and second statement on the 6th page of the report of the commissioners quadrat with each other. I must beg leave to premise, that it appears from the face of the report, that the commissioners themselves did not intend that these two statements should quadrat: for it will be found, by referring to them, that the second statement is not added up
that nearly six millions of guilders, mentioned in the last paragraph of the report, are not carried to the statement and that they refer to sundry protested bills of exchange, and unexpended balances in the hands of agents which are all to be carried to their credit against the first statement. I will shew that the gentleman from Connecticut in his calculations, has not given the commissioners the credit that they are entitled to; that he has given them no credit for sums appearing from the face of the report itself to have been paid; that he has given them no credit for the advanced prices of bills of exchange, he calculating at 40 cents the guilder of 41, which is the average price at which purchases have been made, as appears from the report; that he has given them no credit for protested bills of exchange, which indeed he supposes can amount to little or nothing; and that he has given them no credit for unexpended balances in the hands of agents, although they expressly state that such balances do exist. They exist, Sir, from this cause. In order to purchase such bills of exchange as are required for the use of the government, the commissioners of the sinking fund find it necessary to authorise the cashiers of the several banks to make the purchase for them. Some of these contracts for the bills, and wait until they get a check for the amount of their respective banks, where the money of the United States is lodged; but this is not the case with all; for there are some who will not purchase unless the money is previously deposited to their credit in the bank. Of course it is necessary to make advances at different periods, which are usually made to the amount of fifty thousand dollars at a time. It follows that there is an account current between the commissioners and the cashiers, which perhaps is settled once or twice a year. When the report was made on the 5th of February, these accounts were not settled, nor is it to be expected that they can always be in such a state, as to enable the treasury officers to say, at any one moment, how much there is in the hands of a particular agent unexpended.
Mr. N. said he would now offer a statement to meet that of the gentleman from Connecticut, from which he flattered himself he should be enabled to shew, that the commissioners of the sinking fund were entitled not only to a credit equal to the 114,000 mentioned by the gentleman, but to a credit which would considerably exceed it in amount.
The commissioners of the sinking fund in their report state the disbursements from the treasury in the year 1802 to have amounted to the sum of dolls. 9,372,752 28
To which is to be added a balance of 2,315,846 guild. remaining unexpended on the first of January 1802, equal to dolls. 925,558 40
Making an aggregate chargeable to them for 1802, of dolls. 10,291,290 68
They are to be credited as follows: 1st. for the payment of interest which in the year 1802 accrued on the whole of the public debt, in the report, not denied. dolls. 4,065,738 47
2d. for the payment of the bank debt including the proceeds of the 2,220 Bank Shares, 2,400 dollars paid from impost duties, making together dolls. 1,290,000
3d. for the payment of the principal of the Dutch debt not denied dolls. 1,344,000
4th. For the provision necessary for the reimbursement of the 8th installment of the 6 per cent stock and the 2d installment of the deferred stock becoming payable January 1, 1803, not denied 1,117,869 37
5th. For the money laid out in the purchase of bills of exchange to the amount of 5,914,606 guilders calculated by Mr. G. at 40 cents to the guilder equal to dolls 2,365,842 40
Which several sums added together give the amount of credits admitted by the gentleman from Connecticut 10,183 450 24
Leaving the balance of 114,840 dolls. 44 cents, yet to be accounted for, and which the gentleman from Connecticut declares that he cannot account for. Mr. N. said he would endeavor to assist him, and he believed he could shew that the commissioners of the Sinking Fund, were entitled to a credit even for a greater sum.
In the first place the gentleman from Connecticut has not given credit for two items stated in the report to have been paid, and which were paid as follows: viz.
On account of debts due to foreign officers, dolls. 7,994 92
On account of certain parts of the domestic debt 14,996 84
On account of the difference in the price of exchange, Mr. Griswold calculating guild. 5,914,609 at 40 cents the guilder, making a difference of one cent the gilder, equal to dolls. 59,146
One bill of exchange drawn by a house in Baltimore, which Mr. N. said he knew had come back protested, and for which the indorsers had not repaid the money of the United States amounting to one hundred and twenty thousand guilders, which, even at par were equal to 48,000 dolls. 48,000
An unexpended balance in the hands of the cashiers of the banks at Philadelphia and Boston, which considering the large advances made might be fairly estimated at not less than dolls. 10,000
Making altogether, the sum of dolls. 140,107 82
Which the commissioners of the sinking fund are entitled to a credit for more than the gentleman from Connecticut is willing to allow them, and dolls. 25,267 and 38 cents more than the supposed deficiency of dolls. 114,840 and 44 cents, which has been dwelt on so triumphantly to day.
From this view, which I have taken of the subject, as briefly as I could, I venture to indulge a hope that it will be seen that the commissioners of the sinking fund have applied not only the seven million three hundred thousand dollars agreeably to law but a considerably larger sum, and that no impression will be made even upon their greatest enemies, that they hold a single dollar unaccounted for, as the time of the house is, particularly at this period, extremely precious, I will not venture to trespass on it farther, but shall most cheerfully give my assent to the resolution, under the fullest conviction that every objection can be fully answered even during the present session of Congress, although it can continue but one day longer.
(To be Continued.)
From the BALANCE. ON THE IMPOLICY OF A SPEEDY AD- MISSION OF ALIENS TO A PARTICI- CIPATION OF THE RIGHTS OF SUFFRAGE.
No. IV.
THE serious apprehensions, expressed by Mr. Jefferson in his Notes on Virginia, that "imported foreigners would bring with them the principles of the g
vernments they leave, or if able to throw them off, it would be in exchange for an unbounded licentiousness; and that they would infuse into our government their spirit, warp and bias its direction, and render it a heterogeneous, incoherent, distracted mass;" these apprehensions, for the solid grounds of which he appealed to experience, have since yielded to an opposite system of politics. In his message to the Congress, December 8th, 1801, he says: "I cannot omit recommending a revision of the laws of naturalization. Considering the ordinary chances of human life, a denial of citizenship under a residence of fourteen years, is a denial to a great proportion of those who ask it; and controuls a policy pursued from their first settlement, by many of these states, & still believed of consequence to their prosperity. And shall we refuse to the unhappy fugitives from distress, that hospitality which the savages of the wilderness extend to our fathers arriving in this land? Shall oppressed humanity find no asylum in this globe? The constitution, indeed wisely provided, that for admission to certain offices of important trust, a residence shall be required sufficient to develop character and design. But might not the general character and capabilities of a citizen be safely communicated to every one manifesting a bona fide purpose of embarking his life and fortune, permanently with us?"
I shall forbear making any comments on the striking inconsistency of these sentiments of Mr. Jefferson with those which he formerly avowed. I shall forbear to impeach his motives, or to urge the important circumstance, that he has been found to declare a radical change of opinion respecting the admission of aliens to the rights of suffrage, at a time when there was much more real danger from those people, than at any former periods; at a time, when, after "throwing off the principles of the governments they left, they had actually exchanged them for an unbounded licentiousness;" at a time too, when these licentious foreigners were to a man his declared admirers and partizans. Passing over these topics, let us proceed to weigh the recent sentiments of Mr. Jefferson in an even balance. If they rest upon a solid foundation, they cannot be subverted or weakened by free and frequent discussions; while on the other hand, if they be ill-founded and fallacious, it is the duty of every intelligent friend of the country to expose their fallacy to the utmost of his power; especially as, coming from such high authority, they are received by multitudes of people with a seemingly implicit confidence, and have controuled and do controul the politics of our nation, in a very essential point.
It is provided in the federal constitution that no person shall be a representative in the congress, who shall not have been seven years a citizen of the United States; that no person, shall be a Senator who shall not have been nine years a citizen of the United States; and that no person except a natural born citizen of the U. States at the time of the adoption of the constitution, shall be eligible to the office of president.
Now according to Mr. Jefferson, hereby manifesting a real purpose of embarking their lives and fortunes permanently with us, or of settling for life in this country, ought to be deemed sufficient to entitle imported foreigners of all descriptions to a participation of the rights of suffrage, and to every other privilege of citizens, except eligibility to the places of president and members of the senate and house of Representatives in Congress from which they are expressly barred by the constitution. This is bursting open to them the doors of public confidence as completely and widely as possible; unless for their accommodation the constitution itself should be altered; for surely it would require in many cases, neither fourteen, nor five, nor two years residence, to manifest a purpose of settling in this country—a residence of two or three weeks, with the help of certificates and vouchers, might give full satisfaction to the predominant party, on this point. And besides, it worthy of consideration, that, according to the rule of naturalization, which our president has proposed, the very worst class of emigrants would be earlier entitled to the rights of citizenship, than the best; because there are none of them that can give such prompt and indubitable proof of "a bona fide purpose to embark their lives and fortunes permanently with us, as convicts and scoundrels from justice, who may well

so deemed so far from the harboring a lurking inclination to flee back whence they came, that they even "feel the halter drawn," whenever they think of their native country.
The ideas of Mr. Jefferson, on this subject have as yet been acceded to by congress, only in part: should they finally become the principle of the naturalization laws of this nation, it is easier to see that such a wild and distracted policy would accelerate the fatal period when the whole machine of our government will be torn in pieces. If in conformity to Mr. Jefferson's proposed plan, the political barrier or wall of partition between this and other nations shall be utterly broken down; if swarms of imported foreigners of all classes, descriptions and characters, on barely manifesting an intention to settle and live among us, should be admitted to an immediate and participation of the rights of suffrage, and to the privilege of being eligible to offices in the state governments and to any offices in the general government, except the places of president and members of congress; if this should be the state of things in this country, our nation would quickly become, in a superlative degree, "an heterogeneous, incoherent, distracted mass," and would bear a near resemblance to the confusion of Babel and to the horrible discords of tophet.

PHILADELPHIA, April 7.
Extract of a letter from Aux Cayes, dated March 10, 1803.
In my last I gave you a sketch of what passed until then. Things have taken a much more unfavorable turn since that time; the brigands of the west having broken the cordon, penetrated to Arquin, which they burned after having massacred all the sick in the hospital, and taking a circuitous rout by L'Azil, reached our quarter, and formed a junction with those with whom who had already to contend. This obliged the different adjacent camps and parishes to retire into town, when they were immediately besieged. On Sunday last General La Plume made a sortie, but was obliged to retreat into town, with the loss of two or three killed, and several wounded. The loss of the brigands could not be ascertained; but I presume (having been present at the action) that it must have been much more considerable, altho' we were not victorious. This skirmish animated them considerably, and in the morning General La Plume received a summons to surrender in two hours, threatening, in case of refusal to storm the town, and put every soul to death. They were answered by two coups de canon, which dispersed them.
We were, however, attacked the next morning, a la diare, but they were routed with great slaughter, leaving between two and three hundred killed. A part of their wounded they carried off. In their flight they left nearly 300 muskets, which have been since found, and it is supposed that many more were lost, as we find them continually in the ditches and among the bushes, canes, &c. Our victory was so complete, that they raised the siege the next morning. This may however have been owing to another reason—the arrival of 800 troops at Tiburon, under General Sarazin, of which I presume, they were apprized, at the time of attack, or at least soon after their defeat. The news reached us yesterday, and we expect them here to-morrow. General Rochambeau is daily expected with 4 or 5000 men. Should he arrive with such a reinforcement we shall be perfectly secure."
ARRETE,
Concerning the Foreigners established in the Colonies of Martinique and St. Lucie, 30th Pluviose, eleventh year.
Louis Thomas Villaret Joyeuse, Captain General of Martinique and St. Lucie, and Charles Henry Burin, Counselor of State, Colonial Prefect of the said Islands.
On examination of the letters patent of the month of October, 1727, and the treaty of Amiens between the French Republic and the United Kingdom of Great Britain;
In consequence of the just representations of the French merchants with regard to the liberty with which foreigners con-
tinue to trade at Martinique and St. Lucie, since the said islands have been restored to France;
Considering that the justice and interests of governments require that the trade of their respective colonial possessions should be exclusively reserved to the trade of the mother country.
That the same principle, acknowledged by all nations, and enforced by the laws of all commercial countries, has been lately sanctioned again by the last treaty of peace between France and England.
Considering that the authorities of those colonies have given to foreigners, by the facility left to them until this day to carry on trade, a sufficient proof of their will to entertain and increase if possible, that harmony and friendly connection existing between their respective governments.
And lastly, considering that the losses and wants of all description, supported by the French trade during the war, makes it a duty for government to assist the restoration of the same by every possible means.
Art. I. Resolved, All dispositions of the letters patent of the month of Oct. 1727, and especially those of the title 6th concerning foreigners established in the colonies, which dispositions have not been since repealed by any subsequent laws, ordinances, regulations, or arrests, shall be fulfilled according to their form and tenor.
II. The delay granted to foreigners by the letters patent, to put an end to their commercial business is fixed to the first Messidor next (June 20, 1803, O. S.)
III. From that date to the first Messidor, all stores occupied by foreigners are to be ceded in preference, on even offers, to the merchants or captains of French vessels.
IV. All contracts, notes of hand, transactions or bonds made after the date of the first Messidor next, with foreigners, concerning operations of commerce or trade either on their account or as attorney even of French houses of trade shall be void, and shall not be capable of binding the parties unless it be for final settlements of business or of commercial partnership.
All public officers are forbidden to make out, sign, or even receive such instruments of writing, from the above date, under penalty of six thousand livers, and of being superceded of their functions during three years.
V. All French merchants and traders in Martinique or St. Lucie who may have clerks, partners, agents, factors, or other foreign persons concerned in their commercial business, or who interest therein, either directly or indirectly, are ordered to dissolve all connections of the kind that may exist with them, between this and the first of Messidor next (20th June, 1803) under pain against the merchants and traders of a fine of six thousand livers: and against the foreigners of being sent off the colony.
One half of the fines determined shall be given to the persons who will give notice of the offenders against the preceding disposition.
VI. Foreigners owning landed property, or houses, stores or any establishment whatsoever, other than commercial property, are allowed to enjoy freely and to regulate, administer and govern the same, either by their own hands or by others on their account; and to continue to reside in these colonies under the same privilege and protection that the laws and government allow to such French citizens as are proprietors and cultivators.
VII. Such of the said foreigners whose intention will not be to reside in the said colonies, will, under the same protection, enjoy the facility granted to them by the 20th article of the treaty of Amiens.
VIII. The execution of the present Arrete is intrusted to the inspection of all functionaries and citizens invested with a public authority. The offences against the regulations it contains shall be prosecuted through the Committees of government near the Tribunals.
The same shall be translated, printed, published, posted up and enregistered at the Register's Office of the persevere.
A copy shall be sent to the Grand Judge to be entered by his instructions on the Registers of the tribunals of Martinique and St. Lucie.
Given at Martinique the 30th Pluviose, eleventh year of the French Republic.

MONDAY, APRIL 11.
Arrived at Boston, on Wednesday the 30th ult. the brig Dolphin, capt. Tyler, in 35 days from Gibraltar. He communicates the following intelligence—that no news of the declaration of war between France and Algiers had reached Gibraltar when he sailed; that the Spanish government was still inimical to the American commerce; that he was one of the number which had been ordered from the port of Cadiz, without any just reasons assigned; and that the American frigate Adams was laying at Gibraltar, having experienced no other damage in the severe gales of January, but the loss of a cable and anchor.
Extract of a private letter from Paris, February 12.
"It is scarcely possible to furnish you with news or entertainment in the present state of this capital. The mortality by which it is desolated may be said almost to exceed the bounds of credibility. Within the last ten days I have been assured from an official quarter, the number of interments has amounted to 400 per diem on the average, or 4000 in the whole of that term. Several persons distinguished for their birth or their characters are upon this funeral list, St. Lambert, who was distinguished by the title of Thomson of France; Cafi, the poet, the author of Gli Animali Parlanti ; Laharp, who here stood high in the political world, and who formerly read lectures in London on the Belles Lettres ; Lalande the celebrated astronomer; and the Abbe Delille, a poet of resplendent merit, have already dropped into the tomb, or are given over by their physicians within that short period. Every family is in mourning, and there is scarcely one individual in ten who has not been in some degree attacked. What is extremely singular is that the strangers in Paris have almost wholly escaped this desperate contagion!
"In the midst of this calamitous scene, the characteristic gayerie or rather the insensibility of the lower order of the Parisians, has not failed to develop itself as usual. They have given to the disorder the title of La Gripe ; it has under this title been made 'the sad burthen of a merry song!' The ballad singers have their audiences in every street, and it is no uncommon thing to see, 'whilst frequent horses blacken all the way,' the mob divide itself, in order to suffer the melancholy procession to pass, and again to form themselves en groupe , to hear the mawrtales plaisanteries of their favourite ballads! Even those of a higher order partake in some degree of this spirit and temper. I was speaking but yesterday to a Parisian of some distinction on this subject, and remarked with some surprise, that foreigners had so singularly escaped from the disorder. His answer was curious—' La Revolution, dit-il nous a rendus Egoistes que nous gardons pour nous, insqu'a La Gripe .'—The Revolution, Sir, has rendered us so selfish, that we keep every thing to ourselves, even La Gripe ."

SAMUEL BISHOP,
BOOKSELLER, & STATIONER
Respectfully informs the Public that he has received from Lee & Co's Patent and Family Medicine Store, Baltimore, a fresh assortment of the following
Valuable Medicines,
Which are in high esteem and general use throughout the United States, many of them being sold cheaper than the drugs of which they are compounded, could be purchased at a retail Store.
TAKE NOTICE,
That S. Bishop is appointed the ONLY Agent for Alexandria.
Dr. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obsolete Coughs, Asthmas, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and Approaching Consumption.
To parents who 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 bronchia 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 treble 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 lying-in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of
  Neuvous 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 weaknesses,  Relaxations,    Seminal weaknesses,  Involuntary emissions,    Fluoribus, (or whites)  Obstinate gleets,    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 have 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 Gatica, 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 the usual state of health and strength.

Sworn and subscribed before Ebenezer Forger-son, one of the justices of the peace to his said County.
HAMILTON'S
WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES
Which have within four years past cured upwards of one hundred and twenty thousand persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from worms, and form obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever of similar title, to commonly complained of as operating with violence; on the contrary, a particular excellence of this remedy is its being suited to every age and constitution, contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is so mild in its operation that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old, should no worms exist in the body; but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders, they are particularly efficacious in carrying off all gross humours and eruptions; feverish and bilious complaints, and are the safest and mildest purgative that can be used on any occasion.
Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Teres or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short, flat, white worm, and lastly, the Tania, or tape worm, so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and 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—Staring 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 townness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excellent 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 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 was rapidly gone, and with that his strength, so that he was unable to attend to any business—when he heard of some excellent cures performed by Hamilton's worm lozenges, he took a large dose, which brought away about FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the possession of Lee & Co.)—but a renewal of his pains soon convinced him that this monstrous reptile had recovered its first vigour—Application was made to Lee & Co. for more of their medicine, with their advice—from which resulted the total expulsion of his formidable enemy, in several pieces, which he supposed to be SIX or EIGHT YARDS more. A few months have since elapsed, and Mr. Fuller is now in perfect health. The above facts are well known to a numerous circle of his neighbours, and himself will gratify any who may wish to make further inquiries on the subject. Although Hamilton's worm lozenges produce such powerful effects, when necessary, yet they are perfectly innocent and mild in their operation on the human body, even taken in large doses, as Mr. Fuller will testify—their particular mildness is abundantly evident in innumerable cures of infants.
Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, York-town, Pennsylvania.
Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOLTHER, minister of the Moravian church, in York town.
York, January 4th, 1802.
Dear Sir,
Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recommended to me as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms, I procured a box for the use of my family, to try, whether by means of this medicine, I might be enabled to gain a point, which, to accomplish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very restless at night, grew leaner from time to time; in short, he seemed to be in a precarious state of health, which would yield to none of the medicines administered, until I gave him two doses of lozenges, agreeably to the directions, which carried off a substance to an appearance a mercantile but upon close inspection quit repealed
with very small living animals. No trace 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 the medicines 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.
