European Intelligence.
NEW YORK, August 10. By the British Packet, from Falmouth and the brig Minerva, capt. Main, from Bordeaux, we have received London papers to the 11th, and Paris to the 7th of June.
The extracts of which we have given from these papers will be found interesting.
A gentleman who arrived in the British packet informs us, that just before they failed, news had reached Falmouth, that captain Pierfon, of the Doris frigate of 44 guns, had an engagement off Brest with two French frigates, which terminated in the capture of one of them. Capt. Pierfon lost an arm, and had 28 men killed.
Passengers in the packet—P. Pederson, esq. charge d'affaires to the United States from Denmark—Mr. Thomas Martin Palmer and family—Mr. R. Veitch and family—Mr. and Mrs. Jones.
Yesterday arrived here from Salou, the ship True American, captain Tubner.—James M'Evers, esq. merchant, of this city, came home in the True American.
Captain Tubner informs, that he saw, off Cape de Gat a Tripoline brig of 16 guns—and as he passed Gibraltar, he saw a French 74 in port, with the English colors flying over those of France.—Markets at Barcelona dull; flour 7 dollars.
The editors of this Gazette, have received a letter from captain Pelor of the brig New York, dated Bordeaux, June 9, enclosing the French general Mortier's proclamation to the Hanoverians. He observes, "within a few days, several French ships have been taken in the bay of Biscay, and their passengers landed at Rochelle." He adds, that "60,000 French troops have marched to take possession of Portugal—but Spain has refused them a passage through their country."
LONDON, June 2.
Mr. Linton a few days ago, says our Hague correspondent, notified to the Dutch government, that Great Britain was willing to consent, upon certain conditions, to the neutrality of Holland. The Dutch government received the notification with gratitude, but without the slightest expectation that France will permit her to remain neutral. Indeed the first thing the enslaved and enslaving republic of France did when she conquered Holland, was to dictate an offensive and defensive alliance with her. The Dutch government, however immediately after the receipt of Mr. Linton's notification, resolved to send three deputies to Paris to explain the situation of Holland, to the first consul, and to prove that neutrality could alone preserve her from ruin.
Our Hague correspondent has furnished us with an striking picture of the state of Holland at the present moment. Reiterated by a power which treats her as a conquered country, and calls it friendship; pillages her treasures, and assures her it is protection; burdens her with troops, and boasts that it is strengthening her resources; forces her into a war, and talks to her of her independence; cursed and insulted by such an ally, she is rapidly falling to the lowest point of misery and degradation.
All the hostile acts that have been done in Holland against this country, have been at the express order of the French government. It was the French Government that commanded the seizure of the two packets at Helvoetsluys, and the imprisonment of the captains, the agent, and the English messenger. The Dutch it is said, remonstrated; but their remonstrances were treated with contempt and derision.
The French army destined to act against Hanover, is on its march; but there is some reason to suppose that the emperor of Russia will not suffer the peace of the North of Germany to be disturbed. He is fitting out a fleet and assembling troops; indeed it can scarcely be supposed that he will suffer the work which he had so large a share in completing, to be so soon violated and destroyed. Upon what pretence can France seize Hanover and Osnaburg and shut up the mouths of the Elbe and the Weser? Does the call this preserving the peace of the continent and making the war a mere maritime war? We wait the decision of the emperor of Russia with impatient anxiety. He can alone check the career of this disturber of the
human race upon the continent; and his love of justice, his magnanimity, his talents, and his power, afforded us a strong expectation that he will do it.
Admiral De Winter has been ordered to proceed to the Cape of Good Hope with his squadron with all possible expedition.
A Lisbon mail arrived this morning.—The Packet left at Lisbon a British 74 and two frigates.
Official notice has been sent from the Batavian government to our post office, that the communication with this country must be at an end as they are no longer permitted to send the mails.
Accounts from the Hague state the passage of the French troops in Holland across the Waal, on their march towards Hanover, and, that the whole army commanded by general Mortier is 40,000 strong, of which 24,000 are now on their march. The French troops have taken a circuitous route to avoid passing through the Prussian territory of Munster. Considerable preparations are in the mean time making in Hanover, for the defence of that electorate, by the levy en masse.
June 6.
The mails from Paris contain the speeches of the representative bodies, by whom the war is unanimously approved. This unanimity has furnished the first consul with a pretext for calling the war popular. When the assemblies themselves shall maintain any connection with the people, we shall subscribe to this declaration. The addresses to Bonaparte are in a stile of gross adulation; they are full of that scholastic pedantry and metamorphic madness that crowd the maiden speeches of our young parliamentary orators.
The ports of Italy are seized upon, and that against the English, & an attack is meditated upon Hanover; it would have been gratifying if Prussia had been persuaded to guarantee Hanover last year; this power cannot be pleased in having the French such near neighbors—But its seizure can be of no service to Bonaparte, unless he intends it as a bribe for the inaction of some other power. This, however, would derange the present balance of the German indemnities, and Russia might probably take offence at the overthrow of a system in which she had so much concern.
As the war will most probably be continental, the seizure of Hanover may, perhaps, pave the way to an immediate alliance with some of the German powers. Austria is weak, but inclination is not wanting to the contest: and Prussia, who has ever been so incurably jealous of the emperor, may now, with good reason, be suspicious of France. The nation is pledged to the most vigorous efforts, and in this term, if the customary signification be meant by it, is included continental alliances and subsidies; for the most distinguished efforts with England have ever been the promptitude with which her loans have been made, and the facility with which she has granted her monied assistance. The war must be a long one; possibly the continent may escape three or four years, but it must join hands at last, and England is always ready.
Our domestic politics are full of importance; the Pitt and Grenville party have put Mr. Addington's popularity to the test, and have been compelled to a mortifying exhibition of their numbers.—This is the first open declaration of Mr. Pitt's conduct; for many years he has not known what it was to be in a minority; but, on Friday night he stood at the head of one, and a weaker we have seldom known in a question of such importance. The vindication of ministers is full and satisfactory.
Dispatches were last night received at the admiralty, announcing the capture of the La Pensee, French frigate, of 42 guns, and the L'Impatiente, corvette of 18 guns. The former was intercepted in attempting to enter Brest, on her return from St. Domingo, by the Minotaur and Thunderer, which were detached in pursuit of her by the channel fleet. The latter was taken by the Naiad frigate, on her passage from Senegal to Rochelle.
We are sorry to learn, that, from the accounts brought by the officers of the La Pensee, the French fleet at St. Domingo has effected its escape to the Havana; a harbor whence there is no possibility of cutting them out, without the co-operation of a very powerful and expensive military armament.
Yesterday Mr. Tierney was appointed to the office of treasurer of the navy, and afterwards sworn in a member of the privy council.
Mr. Talbot, Dr. Macklin, and Mr. Hudson, the secretary, Physician and chaplain to the late embassy, have, with some other English gentlemen, and about 100 ladies, been permitted to depart from France, and are arrived in London. Mr. Talbot waited on lord Hawkesbury yesterday morning, and had a long conference with his lordship. All the English ladies have been liberated by order of the government.
A French mail reached town on Saturday, and a regular official intercourse is to be continued; the government of each country having declared that, under existing circumstances, it will not be the first to interrupt it.
The Liverpool merchants are using all due diligence in fitting out privateers to cruise against the enemy. Nearly one hundred are at present under equipment.
Sixty thousand pounds of tobacco, and 14,000 of raisins, were on Friday exported by certificate to Holland. Under like authority, a large quantity of East India goods, cocoa, sugar, and cinnamon, were at the same time sent to France.
June 9.
The French government has published an arrest respecting privateers. Among the encouragements held out for those vessels, a reward of 40 francs is offered for each prisoner taken on board a merchant vessel and brought into port; for each prisoner taken on board armed trading vessels, 47 francs are given, besides 110 francs for each gun above 12lb. calibre.
On taking enemy's privateers and small vessels belonging to the government it is proposed to give 160 francs for each gun, from 4 to 12 pounders; 240 for each of those above 12 pounders; and 70 francs for each prisoner brought into port.
For taking ships of the line, frigates, and sloops of war, the following rewards are held out: 210 francs for each gun, from four to 12lb. calibre; 360 for each above 12lb. and 60 francs for each prisoner brought into port.
Dover is full of troops. The Leicesters, Oxford, Northampton militia, and the 15th regiment of horse are still stationed there. Some more troops are expected to arrive there in a day or two.
NEW YORK, August 12.
The arrival of the brig William from Liverpool, and the ship Oliver Ellsworth from Amsterdam, has furnished the editor of the Mercantile Advertiser with London papers to the 5th of June, and Dutch prints to the 19th both inclusive.
From the latter we learn that Citizen Laussat Prefect to Louisiana, is appointed to succeed Bernadotte as Ambassador from France to the United States. Citizen Laussat is nominated Ambassador to the court of Prussia, and Citizen Otto is to fill the same situation at the court of Bavaria.
The Mayor of Brussels, about the 14th June, received official advices that in the course of a few days the first consul would set out on the long expected journey to the United Departments. An article from Paris fixes his departure from that city on the 17th June.
His route, it was said, will be from Paris to Amiens and Abbeville, from thence to Bologne (where the port and the preparations which are making for a descent on England will undergo his inspection) from thence along the coast of Picardy and Flanders to Dunkirk; from Dunkirk to Ryssel, from Ryssel to Oilend, Bruges, where it was expected he would arrive by the second July.—Madame Bonaparte accompanies him and his suite will be very numerous. Several apartments were preparing for the ministers who attend him. The prefects of the United Departments and many generals of division had received orders to meet the first Consul at Brussels.
Between the French and Danish Governments negotiations were on foot favorable to the views of the former in the present war.
Antwerp not having furnished her contingency of men, that city has been laid under contribution.
PHILADELPHIA, August 13.
Extract of a letter from New York, dated August 11, 12 o'clock.
We have just received London papers to the evening of the 15th June, by the brig Williams, Ashton, from Liverpool. The intelligence they contain of the most importance is the capitulation of Hanover.

to the French on the 4th June—by this convention it appears that all the effects belonging to the King of England are placed at the disposal of the French army, and every English soldier or agent is to be sent to France. The elector to provide the pay, food, and cloathing of the French army, and the French general to levy such contributions as he may deem necessary.
A London article of the 15th states, that Russia and Prussia has conjointly delivered a note to the French government, stating that they would not oppose the occupation of Hanover by French troops, but that it was their intention to preserve the neutrality of Bremen, Hamburg and Lubeck.
Extract of another letter August 11. The brig William, Ashton, in 52 days from Liverpool, has just arrived—she sailed the 20th June.
We have received London dates to the 15th June. The Sun of the 13th is now before us, and the following are the most material of its contents:—
Sun Office, half past 2 P. M. (June 13.)
We stop the press, to state, that his majesty was sent for from Windsor this morning, by express. He arrived in town at 12 o'clock, and a council was immediately held. It was rumoured that the French messenger had brought over propositions for peace. The business must certainly be of importance that would bring the king to town so suddenly.
Dover, June 12.
A French messenger arrived this morning in an open boat (flag of truce) from Calais: he brought dispatches from M. Talleyrand, addressed to Lord Hawkesbury, and set off for town in a post chaise and four, immediately after he landed.
London, June 13.
This morning at 10 o'clock the gentlemen who meant to bid for the loan waited upon the minister at his house in Downing street. The biddings were immediately presented as follows:
  Messrs. Esdaile & Shewell, 10 6 5 long. ann.   Goldsmid & Co 8 4 do.   Baring & Co. 8 4 do.   The Bankers 12 3 do.   The Stock Exchange 12 3 do.   Messrs. Esdaile & Shewell of course had the loan.
The other lists, it is supposed had united, viz. Messrs. Goldsmids, & Co. and Baring & Co. as their officers were the same; and the bankers and the stock exchange had joined their lists.
The votes at which the funds was taken, was nearly thus:
  80l. cons. } 58   80l. red. 
6s. 5d. long. ann. 17.
Immediately on its being brought to market, omnium 1 1/2 premium, but at half past 12 it had sunk to a greater discount. Consols for opening were at 60 3/4 but fell to 59; and reduced, which was at 59 1/2, was, at the above stated period, 57 1/2 for money.
The budget, which will be brought forward this day, will necessarily present taxes heavier than any which have ever been imposed, in one year upon the people of this country. We have already stated the leading articles to be an income duty of five per cent. and very high duties upon malt, sugar, tea, wine, spirits, and an encrease of assessed taxes.
We find in letters from Brussels, of the 5th inst. that an Aid-de-Camp of the First Consul, passed thro' that city on the preceding day, on his route to Holland, where he was charged with the execution of a confidential mission; from whence it was understood he was to proceed to the head quarters of Gen. Mortier. He was preceded by a Courier from the French Government, who passed thro' Brussels on the same day, with important dispatches, also for that General.
An officer of the King of Prussia's guards likewise passed through Brussels, going in great haste to Paris, with dispatches which were supposed to relate to Hanover. The greatest part of the French army was then concentrated in the county of Bentheim, whilst the Hanoverian troops were assembled on the frontiers of Osnaburg.
Accounts from Cuxhaven, of the 6th of June says that Hanover has been taken possession of by 16,000 French troops; that a French corps of 8000 were within two days march of Cuxhaven, and that 10,000 were directing their route for Stadt. It was expected that the neutrality of Hamburg, Bremen and Hanover, would not be respected.

MONDAY, AUGUST 15.
IF any thing could raise the sense of pity for that misguided part of our fellow citizens, yeclaped, the understrappers of the party; we may surely bestow a small portion of that Godlike attribute, upon the proceedings of a reuel at the little insignificant town of Woodbridge, on the last Anniversary of our Independence.
Among their chase and appropriate toasts, we find "Judge Chase, Judge Jeffries, and Peter Porcupine—may they ever be remembered as monuments of depravity."
Here we find a small Jeffersonian junto, stigmatize, beyond degradation, a man whom Washington had selected and raised to the high post of a Federal Judge. We all admit, "all Republicans all Federalists," that merit alone found its way to the Father of our country. To revile his chosen Judge, was to mock his memory—but what has been left undone by a certain party, on this head?
We here see a Federal Judge leagued with a Judge of Cromwell's; and a tool of Britain! Wherefore this abominable detraction?—We will tell you—
Judge Chase has dared to exercise the functions of his office by punishing seditious Jacobins, and as long as he holds the rod of justice over them, he will remain a monument of terror to evil doers.
For your next patriotic meeting we would offer you "The man who nobly dared to attack sedition, and to scourge a factious phalanx in his country."
At another patriotic place called South Amboy , Thomas Paine was given as a toast, with a fulsome eulogium, "on his political and truly rational sentiments to mankind."
Paine's nation is England—but we disdain to make a single observation on this firebrand to Religion and Government—he, and his principles are not only known, but now fully understood.
Sloop Dianna, Lewis, of this port was at Guadalupe the 29th July.
Governor Trumbull of Connecticut, has notified the recognition of John Bernard Gilpin, Esq. as his Britannic Majesty's Vice Consul for the states of Connecticut and Rhode Island.
The Vice President of the United States has returned to New York, from his excursion into New England.
COMMUNICATION.
THE SHOWMAN.
Attend, O ye great masters and misses, to my race-show. I have travelled in all parts, to collect all that is rare and wonderful; and though I cannot shew you a streak from a Lion's Breech,* or Hares "which have four legs on their back as well as the same number on the belly, first running on one set and then on the other; yet I can bring to your view—The mercy of kings; the virtue of ministers; conscience in a lawyer; piety in a priest; dispatch in a physician; and truth behind a counter. I have for your observation, the benevolence of a President; the humility of Emperor Bonaparte; the wisdom of King George; the modesty of Charles; the carnal abstinence of the descendant of Mahomer; the heroism of Joseph-nl Alexander; the glory of Louis 18th; and the infallibility of the Pope.
The first view which I shall present to your astonished eyes, shall be the inside of the walls of a great house in a new city. There you see the Master of this great house, with a map of an extensive country before him, which he contemplates to purchase, though he has already more land than he can manage, and no money to pay for it.
There you see the room, for all the gold, and the silver, and the copper of a great and rich nation; and in the corner, you see a French rat, gnawing a great hole into the strong box, and letting run thereout precious metals, into the coffers of a great banker in London.‡
Next you shall see 375 waggons, and 1500 horses, all ready harnessed, to carry
* The breakfast of Bruce the Abyssinian traveller.
† See Father Linean's, the Jesuits history of South America.
‡ It has been asserted that the able financier alluded to, lost £40,000 sterling in one negotiation.
the money to be paid for the new country; and there you see 375 placenters and speculators ready to drive these waggons, all dressed in smock frocks.
From the north east, you observe a fat chuff man, with a big belly, coming up to stop the waggons. This man is called John Bull , who is now telling these disguised waggoneers, that as they did not consult him, they should not go to Louisiana; because, quoth John, you have already granted me the privilege among you, of the most favored; and, if I permit you to do, the France and the States will choke up the great rivers there, and I shall have to clear the channel of you all.
Now you see, what was never seen before , "eight thousand souls, who were to be sacrificed for the possession of a country we have now got for a bauble!!"
The next is a view of a great man, calling together, for great and weighty reasons, his sage men, and the men of the law, at an unexpected hour; and in the background you see many distressed gentlemen, whose bread was wrested from their mouths, to feed the insatiable appetites of his followers.
There you see your ships of war decaying in a dry dock, and there again you see your ships of trade robbed of our fellow citizens by John Bull, and plundered by the sons of Liberty and Equality.‡

Extract of a letter from Cape Francois, dated July 25, received at Bryden's Coffee House, Baltimore.
"We are closely blockaded by four English 74's and 6 frigates, which capture all French vessels bound to this or other ports in this island. We have had no arrivals from France these forty days past. Two French 74's and one frigate made their escape out of this port on the 25th inst. with a fine southerly breeze; but it will be almost impossible for them to evade the English. An attack was made by the Brigands on the 22d and 23d. They were repulsed with loss. They have encamped two leagues from town in a large body, and a fresh attack is hourly expected. They appear to bend all their forces on this part of the island. They appear to have a plentiful supply of ammunition, small arms, cannon, &c. All intercourse with them is at an end.
The women and children have left Cape Nichola Mole. St. Marks and I-remie are closely besieged by the brigands.
The Bite is full of brigand barges: American vessels bound up the Bite, from America, would do well to call at this port for information.
French privateers are fitting out daily; and all possible preparations are making to defend the town.
American produce low, except rice, 10 dols. by the cargo; leaf tobacco, 9 do. small stock and poultry, in demand; Bordeaux claret, 45 dollars by the cargo.—There is no probability of supplies from France."

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.
DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obsolete Coughs, Asthma, 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 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 soreness 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 lying-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 weakness,  Involuntary emissions,    Fluor albus, (or whites)  Obstinate 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. An 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.

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 gripping, 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 Terec 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.
TAPE WORM.
Mr. SAMUEL FULLER, Inn-keeper, on the Harford road, ten miles from Baltimore, began about 20 months ago to be grievously afflicted with a tape worm, which increased fast in size and strength, so as to excite the most horrid sensations by its writhing motions and intolerable pains, resembling the gnawing and tearing of his bowels, which deprived him of his necessary sleep, and caused such dreadful apprehensions as cannot be conceived but by one in a similar situation—his appetite wasted rapidly, and with that his strength, so that he was unable to attend to any business—when he heard of some excellent cures performed by Hamilton's worm lozenges, he took a large dose, which brought away about FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the possession of Lee & Co.)—but a renewal of his pains soon convinced him that this monstrous reptile had recovered its first vigour—Application was made to Lee & Co. for more of their medicine, with their advice—from which resulted the total expulsion of his formidable enemy, in several pieces, which he supposed to be SIX or EIGHT YARDS more. A few months have since elapsed, and Mr. Fuller is now in perfect health. The above facts are well known to a numerous circle of his neighbours, and himself will gratify any who may wish to make further inquiries on the subject. Although Hamilton's worm lozenges produce such powerful effects, when necessary, yet they are perfectly innocent and mild in their operation on the human body, even taken in large doses, as Mr. Fuller will testify—their particular mildness is abundantly evident in innumerable cures of infants.
Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, York-town, Pennsylvania.
Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOLTIER, 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 mucus but upon close inspection quite repelled
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 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 MOLTIER.
