THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES NOT A DEMOCRACY. No. 1.
The readers of the Anti-Democrat are requested to recollect, that on the 29th of June, we adverted to a publication in the Aurora of the 14th ultimo, in which it was asserted that "the Constitutions of the United States are complete and perfect Democracies;" which opinion we endeavoured, even in opposition to Mr. Duane, to disprove. On July 1, we began to publish, in a letter from a correspondent some opinions in support of our former assertions, on the essential qualities of a democracy.
Thoughts on the essential qualities of a democracy; recommended to the serious consideration of the sober and thinking part of the community. For the Anti-Democrat.
The deepest thinker of all antiquity, after examining and comparing the theory and practice of upwards of two hundred commonwealths, the justly celebrated Aristotle, whom the great Locke acknowledged "a master in politics," speaking of the different kinds of government, observes of the republic, that it is "prone to degenerate into democracy." Doctor Franklin, our countryman, who was certainly read in human nature, held on this point the same opinion as the Stagirite.
Sixteen years have not elapsed since this prophetic answer of the Doctor, and what do we behold! Men openly and voluntarily assuming the name of Democrat, and loudly proclaiming "the constitution of the United States is a Democracy, the American governments are in every respect completely and perfectly Democracies," and those who will not so consider them, "fools, despicable knaves, or imposters."
Such is the dogma and language of the Aurora! That it is in the contemplation of some men to convert our constitutions, into democracies, may be fairly assumed; that progress has already been made in this work, certain recent acts too plainly indicate; that it is meant to be persevered in, can scarcely be doubted.
In order to introduce this form of polity, demagogues think they can never too much strengthen the popular party; children descended from the intermarriages of citizens and strangers, all sorts of materials, however impure, are considered as proper aliment for such a government. Above all, demagogues must never cease to convince the people, that under their favorite democracy, they will be at liberty to live as they list.
Do you perceive any resemblance in this account of the practices of demagogues in remote ages, and which in Athens, according to Xenophon, "placed the bad citizens in a better situation than the good," to what is in practice in the United States?
Arist. de Rep. lib. ii. † Aurora 14th June. ‡ Arist. de Rep. || Xenophon: Defence of the Athenian Democracy. "I certainly have no intention of praising the people of Athens for choosing that particular form of government, [a democracy] since, by choosing that form, they have consequently chosen to place the bad citizens in a better situation than the good. This, therefore, I certainly do not praise. But this I mean to shew, that having taken such a constitution, they have taken the best means to preserve it." What these means were every one knows, who has read their history.
tended with so much success in other countries, will produce no effect in this?" It is a truth well established by experience, that there is in every constitution, or form of government, a part of it, which has a tendency to corruption, by means of which it will be sooner or later destroyed, as that part which sustains its political life, has more or less energy.
From the origin of a republic, the democratic part of it, if not steadily watched and powerfully resisted, will continually gain ground. Demagogues arise and encourage the people to disregard, to change or destroy, as it suits their pleasure, fundamental institutions; "to become managers of their own affairs, and act on every occasion as their own masters." Thus stimulated and advised, the majority is soon every thing and the laws nothing; discontent, sedition, conspiracy, and revolution succeeds revolution, till the republic (then a republic in names only) touches the last verge of existence, and falls, to be heard of no more, except, perhaps in the annals of Democratic History.
As yet the people, under the constitution of the United States, have enjoyed more happiness, peace and tranquility, than did any of the most ancient states of Greece.
Whether this state of things is to continue; whether the republic is to maintain its ground, or give place to a democracy & its consequences, is as it would seem in a course of experiment. What lover of liberty can be indifferent? what respecter of order, property and life, can be composed in such a crisis?
I proceed to shew, from the definitions of the most accredited lexicographers, and the highest authorities amongst the moderns and ancients, that "a right in the people to assemble collectively and enact laws, is of the essence of a democracy."
Mr. Walker in his Critical Pronouncing Dictionary (a) (the authority quoted in the Aurora) defines democracy, "one of the three forms of government—that in which the sovereign power, is lodged in the body of the people."
Democracy, in Johnson's Dictionary, is defined—"One of the three forms of government, that in which the sovereign power is neither lodged in one man, nor in the nobles, but in the collective body of the people."
The Dictionnaire Philosophique defines democracy, "a species of government in which the legislative power is exercised by the people."
In the French Encyclopedie, democracy is defined—"One of the simple forms of government, in which the people in a body possess the sovereign power. Every republic where the sovereignty resides in the people is a democracy."
I shall now produce authorities to ascertain what is here meant by sovereign power.
Montesquieu observes (b) "When the body of the people in a republic, are possessed of the supreme power, this is called a democracy."
Labinius says, that "at Athens, a stranger who intermeddled in the assemblies of the people was punished with death; this is, (Montesquieu remarks) because such a man usurped the rights of sovereignty. (c.) Hence the sovereign power is in the people assembled, not in the people individually."
The French Encyclopedist, under the article democracy, above quoted, as if to remove any cavil which might be raised, observes, "Before we proceed further, it is necessary to remark, that in a democracy each citizen does not possess the sovereign power, nor even a part of it; this power resides in the general assembly of the people."
Thus we see, according to these definitions and illustrations, in a democracy, the sovereign power is in the people collectively or assembled to enact laws, and not in a part, or in the people individually. Hence it follows, that, the essence of a democracy, consists in a power to enact laws being lodged in the body of the people, or the people collectively.
§ Practised at Athens. Demosth. passim.
[Or, as Mr. Jefferson expresses it, "to manage their own affairs in their own way, unembarrassed with too much regulation."]
[Edi. E. P.] (a) [It will be seen by examination that Walker, whom Duane takes for his authority, makes no pretensions to the merit of definition. He relies for his definition implicitly on Johnson—Ed. E. P.] (b) Spirit of Laws, book ii. chap. 2. (c) Idem. book ii. chap. 2.
In farther proof of this point, I shall content myself, for the present, with a few authorities chiefly drawn from the ancients.
Of the authorities derived from the ancients, they will be principally those which are relied upon by the Abbe Barrthelemi, in his celebrated work, entitled the Travels of Anacharsis, the younger, in Greece, more particular those which he quotes in his chapter "of the nature of government, according to Aristotle and other Philosophers," and his chapter of "the present government of Athens."
A right in the people collectively to enact laws, and try offences committed against the laws of the state, is of the essence of democracy. This is the position to be further illustrated.
It may not perhaps be improper, in this place to remark, that it is not meant to convey an idea, that the will of the people, in the enacting of laws, in a democracy is expressed in one way only, or in an assembly where all are collected; this will be ascertained by taking the votes of the people seriatim, or successively, in small collections, or tribes, as was sometimes practised in Athens and other cities in Greece, the majority of the whole votes deciding.
Aristotle observes [d] "that all matters of deliberation should be decided by all the people is consonant to a democracy but is susceptible of many variations; for all the people may be entitled to deliberate and decide either collectively or successively." Hence whether the votes or suffrages of all are given collectively, still it is the majority of the votes of the whole that is to decide in the formation of laws.
Our knowledge and notions of democracy have their source in the ancient democracies, or what we find in ancient writers concerning them. All of modern date have had those for their model. To this source, therefore, we must apply for correct information, relative to their distinguishing characteristics and composition.
The general characteristics of democracy are thus described by Aristotle.
The nature of democracy requires that the supreme authority of the government should reside, not in the distinguished few but, in the great body of the people. (e) That all the offices of the magistracy, or at least the greatest part, should be conferred, by lot, on each individual. That all the citizens be alternately distributed in the courts of justice. That a senate be instituted to prepare those affairs which are finally to be determined on in the national and sovereign assembly, at which all the citizens may be present. (f)
For a particular case I shall select the celebrated Athenian democracy.
Solon determined that the supreme power should reside in the assemblies, at which every citizen should have a right to be present; and where all ordinances respecting peace, war, alliances, laws, imports, and all the great interests of the state, should be finally decided. [g]
The assemblies were held in the theatre of Bacchus, in the public market, or in a spacious place near the citadel named the Pnyx. [h]
Six thousand suffrages were requisite to give the force of law to several decrees. [i] It was not, however, at all times practicable, it seems, to obtain this number; for during the whole course of the Peloponnesian war, it was found impossible, to collect more than five thousand people in the general assembly. [k]
Herodotus says that Aristagoras, ambassador from the Ionians, found it harder to deceive one Spartan than thirty thousand Athenians; meaning in a loose way, the whole state supposed to be met in one popular assembly. [l]
With respect to the Athenian Courts of justice.
The right of protecting innocence is not acquired at Athens by either birth or riches. As all may be present at the assembly of the nation and decide on the interests of state, all are likewise entitled to give their suffrages in the courts of justice, and to regulate the interests of individuals." [m]
(d) Aristot. De Rep. lib. iv. (e) Idem. lib. viii. (f) Idem. lib. iv. (g) Plut. in Solon. (h) Thucyd. (i) Demosth. (k) Thucyd. lib. viii. chap. 72. (l) Idem. lib. v. (m) Plut. in Solon.

There were ten tribunals at Athens, four for homicide, and six for other causes as well criminal as civil.
These assemblies did not meet at the same time, with those of the people, being composed nearly of the same persons. [12]
I do not take into view the Areopagus, which was a perpetual body; nor the senate and archons, which were elected for one year, and aristocratic; nor the mode of distributing the citizens among the courts of justice, as particulars not of moment to the question. Those who may desire more particulars, will be amply gratified by consulting the Travels of Anacharsis, the younger, and Aristotle's Politics.

NEW YORK, August 4.
By the ship Betsey, captain Miller, we have received a file of Amsterdam papers to the 2d of June, inclusive. They afford very little intelligence.
According to a letter from Rotenburg, a district near Bremen, dated the 25th of May, the French had entered the duchy of Bentheim.
A proclamation was issued on the 16th May, by the Elector of Hanover, enjoining a strict neutrality; but ordering, at the same time, the whole force of the Electorate to be in readiness to repel any attempt at invasion. For this purpose all male citizens, from 16 to 60 years of age, were to be enrolled, and the property of such as disgraced themselves and their country, by any act of cowardice, was to be confiscated to the state. Reckoning the population at a million souls, these measures, it was expected, would raise an army of 200,000 effective men.
The Court of Russia, it was understood, had declared to the French minister Colbert, that it should not see without concern the seizure of Hanover, and the shutting of the Elbe and Weser; but that, with respect to any thing else, it would observe the strictest neutrality, and would interpose its mediation for restoring the tranquility of the continent.
A ship arrived at Hamburg on the 7th May, in 10 days from Petersburg, with accounts that the whole Russian fleet at Cronstadt and Revel was ready for sea, and might soon be expected in the Baltic.
When captain Miller, of the ship Betsey, left Amsterdam, a French army was marching in. The Dutch merchants had offered Bonaparte a considerable sum for the purchase of Neutrality, but the overture was rejected.
Arrived ship Alnomac, Gore, Falmouth via St. Lucie; Pomona, Myers, Cette, (France) brig Rainbow, Bergh, Windsor, N. S. schooner Independence, Barberry, Curacoa.
Cleared, ship Resolution, Cumming, Gibraltar; brig Sally, Tracy, Crooker, Madeira; Rockland, King, Cape Francois, and a market, Fame, Newbold, Barbadoes; sloop Blackbird, Patten, Bermuda.
Arrived since our last. Ship Gore, from Falmouth, last from St. Lucie, (J. M.) Left at Falmouth, brig Twins (Scott who died on the 6th July) to sail in 3 or 4 days; brig Integrity, Crow to sail in 3 weeks. Captain Gore was boarded by the British frigate Defarada & sloop Raccoon, on the 21st June, who pressed six hands.
Ship Pomona, 70 day from Cette (France) via Gibraltar. Spoke July 10, lat. 23, 55, long. 61, 10, sch'r Fox, from Philadelphia, to Bartholomews.—26th, lat. 24, 36, long. 69, 23. a pola.
cre brig from Newbern, North Carolina, to St. Thomas. Saw under the Long Island shore 5 or 6 square rigged vessels bound to this port. Left at Cette, ship Fair American, Speyers, of Bath, for Boston.
August 5.
Capt. Myers, from Cette, has brought out dispatches for the French and Spanish ministers residing in the U. S. He informs us, that the Italian troops were daily arriving—and that the French troops were working day and night on the forts and batteries.
We are informed by Capt. Gore from Jamaica, that about forty sail of French prizes had been sent into the port of Kingston, within two weeks; amongst which were, one French frigate, two sloops of war, and several valuable merchantmen, bound from St. Domingo, for ports in France.
PHILADELPHIA, August 6.
For some days past, we have had repeated reports of the appearance of the Yellow Fever in New York, but as we were in hopes the story was unfounded, we declined saying any thing of it, till the New York papers announce it, by the paragraph relating the death of Lewis Ogden, as below. From this and other information, the Board of Health, as a precaution, have resolved to stop the communication from New York to this city; and we are told, that the same will be published this morning, by them, in hand bills ONLY.
Died, at New York, on Monday last, Mr. Lewis Ogden, of that city. Mr. Ogden died after a very short illness of the yellow fever.
NORFOLK, Aug. 2.
Arrived, schr. Polly, capt. Pearson, from St. Bartholomews. In lat. 28, long. 69, spoke the schr. Sally, Holden, from Newbern, N. C. bound to Jamaica, 10 days out. In lat. 29, 34, long. 70, spoke the brig Philaess, Harden from Demerara, bound to Boston, 15 days out.
Schr. Father and Sons, capt. Brian, from Oporto. June 29, in lat. 42, 46, long. 23, fell in with the brig Franklin of Pilleton, a wreck, with nothing standing but her bowsprit, her pumps and windlass gone—she was lumber loaded; the hull not much damaged, but full of water; her quarter boards and nails washed away; she appeared to have been some time in the above condition, as there were many barnacles on her bottom and sides. July 7, in lat. 44, 10, long. 47, spoke the brig Catharine, Bennett, from New York, bound to Bilbao. July 18, in lat. 39, 11, long. 61, spoke the British ship Jeannie, Cowan, from Norfolk, bound to Glasgow.
The Columbia, Day; and Harriet Ann, Cox, were to sail in a few days for this port.
Alexandria Advertiser.
MONDAY, AUGUST 8.
Arrived on Saturday evening brig Evelina, Capt. Croudhill, 17 days from Cape Francois, on the 31st of July, Cape Henry bearing West 62 miles, spoke sch'r Sally, of and bound to N. York, from Alexandria, all well.
Letters received by the Evelina, mention that the government will neither buy the cargoes of vessels in port, nor permit them to go elsewhere for the purpose of selling. Coffee was 20 cents per pound. American produce in great plenty and no demand.
Capt. Wickham, arrived at Philadelphia, left at St. Thomas's, the sch'r Two Brothers, Lawrence, of Alexandria, to sail in a few days for Curacoa.
We learn from Boston, that immediately on the receipt of the news of war between Great Britain and France, the French Ambassador at Lisbon required the government to declare war against England within 48 hours. We have not learnt the result.
Gibraltar, June 16.
The Victory came in on Sunday evening. She has taken, on her passage from home, the French frigate L'Ambuscade, and two West Indianmen; but these prizes which the left behind, are not yet arrived.
The Danish brig Bonaparte, from
Cette, for Hamburg the two Brothers from Cette for Bremen; and the Swedish ship Hoppet, from Cette, have been sent in here for examination, on suspicion of the cargoes being French property."
Nassau, (N. P.) July 5.
We are sorry to state that there is no Flour, Rice, nor Corn at this market; the nominal price of the former article is 15 dollars per barrel. We begin to suspect that the opening the ports to American vessels is not so good a thing as we thought it to be at the time. A feast or famine will, for obvious reasons, be the consequence of it, and unluckily, it has began, and indeed with the latter.
July 12.
On Sunday morning, a smart gale commenced from the N. E. it however soon hauled round to the eastward and southward, but still continued to blow with considerable violence, until 1 or 2 o'clock, when it began to abate. Two or three small vessels were driven on shore, but have since been got off. A schooner from Ragged Island, bound to this port, was unfortunately lost in the gale at Bell's Key. Crew and part of the materials saved.
July 19.
The late gale, we are sorry to state, has been much more violent to windward than we experienced it here—and has been productive of more danger to our drogging and other vessels, than we apprehended.
The Rebecca, Chiloot, belonging to Mr. John Armbrister, was lost off St. Salvador—the captain and crew, save one black man, perished.

LAW CASE.
Circuit court of the district of Columbia, for Washington county, 2d August 1803.
THE UNITED STATES.
versus
BENJAMIN MORE.
The defendant was indicted for charging and receiving fees for the performance of certain duties as a justice of the peace for Washington county in the District of Columbia. At the last term the defendant, More, confessed the receipt of fees as charged in the indictment, but demurred to the indictment, on the ground that, by law, he was entitled to them.
To form a correct view of the case; the following acts of Congress respecting the District of Columbia must be adverted to:—
By the act of Feb. 27, 1801. C. 86. Sec. 1. It is declared that the laws of Maryland as they now exist shall be and continue in force in that part of the said district, which was ceded by that state to the United States.
By Sec. 11, of the same act, it is enacted, "That there be appointed in and for each of the said counties, (meaning Alexandria county formerly part of Virginia, and Washington county, part of Maryland) such number of discreet persons to be justices of the peace, as the President of the United States shall from time to time think expedient, to continue in office five years; and such justices having taken an oath for the faithful and impartial discharge of the duties of the office, shall in all matters civil and criminal and in whatever relates to the conservation of the peace, have all the powers vested in and shall perform all the duties required of justices of the peace, as individual magistrates, by the laws herein before continued in force in these parts of the District, for which they shall have been respectively appointed; and they shall have cognizance in personal demands to the value of 20 dollars. exclusive of costs; which sum they shall not exceed. Any law to the contrary notwithstanding; and they shall be entitled to receive for their services the fees allowed for like services by the laws herein before adopted and continued in the eastern part of said District."
By the act of May 3, 1802, chap. 52. Sec. 8.—"So much of the act of Feb. 27, 1801, as provides for the compensation
to certain justices of the peace thereby created, and for compensation to jurors attending the within said district, except so much thereof as relates to their travelling expenses attending the same shall be, and is hereby repealed."
The eastern part of the said district is that part of it which formerly composed a part of Maryland, and is now called Washington county. In Maryland the justices of the peace take cognizance of small debts, not exceeding 10l. and receive certain fees for their services.
The main point of defence taken in the present case, and on which the decision of the court turned was—"that the defendant, as justice of the peace, having cognizance in personal demands to the value of 20 dollars—and being appointed to the office by the President of the United States under an act of Congress—must be considered as a judicial officer of the United States—and consequently that by Art. 3, Sec. 1. of the Constitution of the United States, the act of May 3, 1802, chap. 50, Sec. 8—which repeals so much of the act of Feb. 27, 1801, chap. 86, Sec. 8—as gives a compensation for their services, to justices of the peace in said district, is unconstitutional and void; it being provided by the said Art. 3, sec. 1. of the constitution that the judges both of the supreme and inferior courts shall hold their offices during good behaviour; and shall at stated times, receive for their services, a compensation, which shall not be diminished during their continuance in office.
The case was argued yesterday, by Mason district attorney, for the United States—and by the defendant himself and Woodward and Caldwell for him—and on this day.
The court gave judgment in favor of the defendant. Cranch and Marshall justices were of opinion, of Kelly chief judge—That a justice of the peace for Washington county in the district of Columbia is a judicial officer of the United States under the constitution—and that therefore the act of Congress of May 23. 1802, chap. 52, so far as the same relates to the abolition of the fees of justices of the peace is unconstitutional and void.

JAMES KENNEDY, sen. King Street, 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 J. Kennedy, sen. is appointed the ONLY Agent for Alexandria.  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 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 unskilful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females, at a certain period of life—bad lyings in, &c. &c. And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of Nervous disorders, Consumption, Loss of spirits, Loss of appetite, Impurity of the blood, Hysterical affections, Inward weakness, Seminal weaknesses, Fluor albus, (or whites) Barrenness. Violent cramps in the stomach and back, Indigestion, Melancholy, Gout in the stomach, Pains in the limbs, Relaxations, Involuntary emissions, Obsolete gleets, 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 restore a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE and EXTRACT OF MUSTARD, A safe and effectual remedy for gout, rheumatism, palsy, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. And has performed more cures in the above complaints than all the other medicines ever before made public. From Dr. Weatherburn, Wythe county, Virginia.
Gentlemen, I purchased at your shop the preparations you call Hamilton's Essence, or Extract of Mustard, which I believe has perfectly removed a chronic rheumatism (of that kind named sciatica, or of the hip joint) under which I had laboured for a long time, and which had baffled every article in the Materia Medica, and every mode of treatment received into practice for the cure of this obstinate disease. If you think this letter useful you are at liberty to make it public. Yours, &c.
P. WEATHERBURN. John Hoover, rope-maker, South Second Street, between Mary and Christian Streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily maketh oath as follows, namely, that his wife, Mary Hoover, was so severely afflicted with a violent rheumatism, very dangerously situated, the consequence of a severe cold after lying in, as to be confined to her bed for several weeks, and was at length reduced to the melancholy apprehension of remaining a cripple for life, notwithstanding the most respectable medical advice was followed, and every probable remedy attempted: when
seeing several cases of cures performed by Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard, they were procured from Mr. Birch, No. 17, South Second-Street. The first application enabled her to walk across the room, and the use of one bottle restored her to her usual state of health and strength. JOHN HOOVER.
Sworn and subscribed before Ebenezer Forster, Esq. one of the justices of the peace for Philadelphia 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, so commonly complained of as operating with violence; on the contrary, a particular excellence of this remedy is its being suited to every age and constitution; contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is so mild in its operation that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old, should no worms exist in the body; but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. They are particularly efficacious in carrying off all gross humours and eruptions; feverish and bilious complaints, and are the safest and mildest purgative that can be used on any occasion. Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the 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 fetid 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 MOLTHER, minister of the Moravian church, in York-town. York, January 4th, 1802.
Dear Sir, Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recommended to me as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms, I procured a box for the use of my family, to try, whether by means of this medicine, I might be enabled to gain a point, which, to accomplish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very restless at night, grew leaner from time to time; in short, he seemed to be in a precarious state of health, which would yield to none of the medicines administered, until I gave him two doses of lozenges, agreeably to the directions, which carried off a substance to all appearance a mere mucus but upon close inspection quit repealed
with very small living animals. No trace of the sort of worms which usually afflict children came from him. Since that period he grew remarkably better in health, and though less has got a fresh and lively complexion. Upon different occasions I have used this medicine with success, 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.
