A gentleman well known in Philadelphia, and who is greatly respected as a clergyman and justly esteemed as a man of letters, has given the following opinion of this selection:
"The two volumes of select Poetry, form a valuable contribution to the stock of English literature. I really consider the work as the best compilation now extant. The selections and arrangements excite the taste of a correct and polished mind, the judgment of a sound and benevolent moralist, and that degree of critical skill which can only be acquired by ex- tensive reading and scholastic acquirements."

CONGRESS OF THE  UNITED STATES.  HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. WEDNESDAY, Jan. 30.
Debate on the Georgia CLAIMS. (Mr. Jackson's Speech continued.) It declared in effect, "commissioners of Georgia, we require five millions of acres of land to compensate these and other claims—it is obtained; claimants, register your titles at your own expence, or you will be barred; this is done—then speculators, swindlers, public plunderers be gone, you have nothing to hope or expect from us;" is this conduct dignified, is it honorable? I trust it is not, and will not be practised. My colleague alleges that the willingness of the claimants to take one tenth of what they claim is conclusive evidence of the injustice of the claim. Sir, the claimants in their memorial state a sufficient answer to this argument, "the delay of justice is its denial." What rational expectations can they have to acquire a sufficient indemnity unless in this way?—they may indeed wait until the United States shall dispose of the lands in question to some person hardly enough to purchase a disputed title; as until then they know they can have no opportunity to try their titles; and then the great expense of the law's delay; and the multiplicity of suits necessary to obtain adjudications to the extent of their claims, will produce unavoidable ruin. There is another substantial reason: they do not wish to contend with the strong arm of government; and instead of their willingness to effect an amicable compromise operating as an evidence of the injustice of their claims; it affords a great proof of their magnanimity and patriotism—they consider themselves entitled to a full compensation, but consulting the interests of the nation they are willing to accept a pittance.
My colleague says he last year proved, that Georgia had no right to make a grant of the land in question, this is an immaterial point, it is however not conceded. I contend that we have obtained a recognition of the justice and equity of the claims, and are bound to provide for them. The same gentleman not satisfied with the arguments he has used endeavors to make it a party question, and deplores the absence of party spirit. Justice, Mr. Speaker, like the dew of heaven, should be showered down upon all men indiscriminately—She soars above the horizon of political speculators, and disdains to be told of any distinctions: and when she decides in favor of any man, it is because truth immutable from the beginning of the world to the end thereof,—is on his side accompanied by reason, co-extensive with time itself; tell me not then when we invoke her aid, that this or that man is good or bad; she is blind to parties, but eagle-eyed to search out truth. What is it to me if the post master general who is one of the agents, has as many millions as would balance the wealth of the world? If he is entitled fairly and honestly entitled to more, I will give it. But "his official power scatters confusion, men can be found clothed with senatorial honors who will abandon them, and by accepting offices within his gift, prostrate themselves at his feet, and others are ready to receive the snare contracts which he can bestow. Hence if the measure which he advocates be adopted it will be proof of corrupt influence, which "scatters confusion." Is the gentleman aware of the tendency of this doctrine? The executive recommends measures, and as the executive has many valuable offices in its gift, presumed corruption may be urged in all cases of their adoption; altho' as in the case of the post master general the individual members never receive the smallest benefit from the power of appointment to office; and although the national security, and the integrity of the member forbid the imputation. As to the contracts spoken of, the mode of disposal is to prefer the lowest bidder; the principal clerk in the post office department is a federalist, and disappointed applicants, when others were preferred thro' motives of favoritism, would be found ready to promulgate the perfidious act; considering these circumstances which are most important checks, and that notwithstanding the avidity with which the press seizes on occasions of supposed impropriety in the acts of the government, or any of its agents: not a single solitary case of malfeasance has ever been charged against this officer. I am confident none ever existed.
And here allow me to add, that the friends of this measure whom my colleague has reduced to a level with 95 Yazoo men, have quo ad hoc the same security for their integrity, that the president of the United States and the commissioners have for theirs; they recommended what we approve. Yes, sir, this measure which if adopted, he declared made us a party to a most nefarious swindling; the approvers of fraud; the felons who flinch from the poor their support, which reduced us to a level with the corrupt legislature of Georgia of one thousand seven hundred and ninety five, and made us the patrons of a stupendous robbery, has been recommended by the president of the United States, and by the secretary of state, the secretary of the treasury, and the attorney general. The president of the United States in his message to congress at the second session of the seventh congress, after speaking of the convention with the state of Georgia which was then ratified, and of certain negotiations with the Indians, he adds "we are to view this position as an out post of the U. States, surrounded by strong neighbors, & distant from its support. And how far that monopoly which prevents population should here be guarded against, an actual habitation made a condition of the continuance of title, will be for your consideration. A prompt settlement to all existing rights and claims within this territory, presents itself as a preliminary operation." Remember, sir, this message was made the 15th day of December, 1802, and the message containing the convention with Georgia, & the report of the commissioners, expressly mentioning all the species of claims, and particularly those under the act of one thousand seven hundred and ninety five, bears date to the 26th of April, 1802, long before the delivery of the communication containing the recommendation I have just read.
And in page 25 of the report accompanying the message I have quoted, (to wit the message of 26th April 1802) the commissioners say in express terms they "believe that the interest of the United States the tranquility of those who may hereafter inhabit that territory, and various equitable considerations which may be urged in favor of most of the present claimants render it expedient to enter into a compromise on reasonable terms," and who sir, will have the hardihood to say the President of the United States—and these high officers of the government have been influenced by sinister motives. It is (says my colleague) the spirit of federalism which unites us. Sir, I am young in years, and I am a child indeed in politics if this be the spirit of federalism, and with all my enmity to it, which I own has been very great, if it consists in complying with prudent advice, and honest engagements, in doing justice to the unfortunate, and deciding on questions of private right, by the rules of universal law; I will receive it with open arms; I will cherish it: and hug it to my bosom with the affection of a father for a long lost son returning to the paths of virtue. (To be continued.)
From the Philadelphia Register.  THE DEFENCE.—No. VIII.
It is, however, urged with as much confidence and zeal as though there was any truth in the assertion, that experience has shown an independent judicial establishment, to be an inconvenient institution; that the records of the Legislature exhibit numerous complaints against our judges, and demonstrate that the People are dissatisfied with their conduct, and that the judicial department conflicting in its supposed irresponsibility, has usurped a dangerous jurisdiction in pretending to decide on the constitutionality of laws made by the Legislature.
What evidence experience furnishes against the tenure, by which Judicial Office is at present regulated in Pennsylvania, it rests with those who affirm the position to designate; and I call upon the revolutionists to state precisely wherein it conflicts. Is it found in the offences of Mr. Addison? Surely the constitution provided an ample remedy or his misconduct in permitting his conviction, and authorizing his disfranchisement. Is it sought for in the punishment which the Judges of the Supreme Courts, inflicted upon the libeller Pasmore? Colonel Oswald was also severely punished for a contempt by judges, who derived their authority from the Legislature, and were periodically divorced of their functions? It is the delay of justice that is referred to? Let the petitioners for a convention demonstrate if they can, that the grievance does not arise from the petty, base and hypocritical system of pretended economy which refuses to maintain such a number of judicial officers, as the necessities of the people manifestly require, which will spend thousands in the impeachment of old judges, and allows not a cent as a provision for new ones; and which obstinately persists in keeping the judicial department on the same footing as it was, when not half of the state was peopled, and when
the number of controversies was proportioned to the comparative sparseness of our population, and the poverty of our citizens. But what evidence does experience furnish in favor of dependent judiciary? Has not a convention once been called, with the view of remedying the mischiefs resulting from such an establishment? Was not the sense of the people clearly demonstrated in the universal satisfaction which its abolition created? Was there a principle in our present constitution which finally allays more cordially united in establishing than the provision which regulates the tenure of a judge's office by his good behaviour ? And how absurd then is it to pretend, that the suffrage of experience is against the independence of the judicial department? If it is true that the time of the Legislature is consumed in listening to petitions and complaints against the conduct of the judiciary, let the evil be ascribed to its true cause—to the creation of the Inquisition, which is styled the Committee of Grievances . Before this august and dignified tribunal, any plausible tale of slander, which malice can fabricate against Judges and Lawyers , is heard with all the credulity of ignorance, and adopted with a zeal which far exceeds the usual ardor of malevolence. Whenever a suit is disappointed and chagrined at the issue of his pretensions, (and the unsuccessful party almost always is so,) or is dissatisfied with the efforts of his counsel, or is led to suppose from the misrepresentations of others, that injustice has been practised on him, or has any other cause of pique and hatred to his judges, the lion's mouth is open to his resentment. An animal that feeds on scandal will never want for silence, and it would be strange indeed, if an association whose only object is to hunt for grievances , should find none, real or imaginary. Such an institution is without parallel in this, and without precedent in any free and well regulated society. It strikes a fundamental at the root of all government. No department except the Legislature can withstand its inevitable operation. The intention of its creation, and the vital principle of its existence, is the destruction of the confidence of the people in their public servants; and its direct and necessary consequence, is to give a Legislature sanction to sedition and disorder. In a period of revolution, it may indeed be useful, as a rallying point for malcontents, to gather round. But in a society constituted as ours is, upon the true principles of liberty, real grievances will shew themselves as soon as they exist; and it is neither wise nor honorable for one branch of the servants of the people, to unite with so much alacrity in the defamation of their brethren. After all, however, what evidence has the industry of this grievance hunting committee been able to furnish against the judiciary. The sins of Mr. Addison, it is to be presumed, have been sufficiently expiated in his conviction. His offences, therefore, are not now to be brought into consideration. What then has been the fruit of all the complaints which malice and revenge, have been encouraged to utter? Three Judges of the Supreme Court, have been impeached for a single misdemeanor, and though tried before a tribunal, whose members were unanimously opposed to them in party politics, consisting of honest farmers and mechanics, on their oaths, in which no Lawyer had a vote, or the slightest influence, have been fairly acquitted. An application has been made by the Legislature, for the removal of another judge of the Supreme Court, on the deliberation of two days; Without defending to hear him in his defence , for no judicial misconduct, but for honorably disclaiming any protection from party, or personal considerations; and a few miserable justices of Peace (generally, I believe, Federalists ) have been removed for reasons which, for ought I know, may have warranted their removal. But what testimony has the zeal of this committee collected of corruption, oppression, wilful violation of the laws, or other mis-practices, on the part of the Courts, or the great body of the Professors of the Law? Have they ultimately in any instance, upon a fair examination, found the principles of Liberty assailed, or the rights of the people endangered, by these "privileged orders?" Or is the administration of justice vilified and debased, and the reputation of a truly respectable class of the people to be whispered away, in order to prostrate the constitution? The denial of the right of the judiciary to decide upon the constitutionality of such laws as they are called upon to enforce (and no further is it pretended they can exercise the power) I affirm to be the most violent assault upon the sovereignty of THE PEOPLE, which ambition has yet ventured to make in this country, it is in fact an assertion, that the legislature is like the British parliament, Omnipotent . It is founded altogether on the principle that one department of government is bound to countenance an usurpation of those rights which the people have reserved, because the legislature is the usurper. So monstrous a doctrine, can only be useful to those factious and daring spirits, who will not bear opposition or control, even from the majesty of the republican sovereign. A very short process of reasoning is sufficient to demonstrate the truth and justness of these observations. Sovereignty, I apprehend, consists in the exercise of, and in the right to, exercise all the functions and prerogatives of

government, & all the powers of the nation. In a despotism, the whole of this right has been wrested from, or granted by, the people to the despot, who is therefore solely the sovereign.
In a pure democracy, the whole of it is in the people, who exercise it in their own persons.
In such a limited monarchy as that of England, it is vested partly in the prince and partly in other departments of government. The whole of it, however, is divested from the people, till they chuse to resume it. The parliament of Great-Britain, consisting of king, lords, and commons, is, therefore, the sovereign of that island, and is, of course, said to be omnipotent.
But, in the representative republics of America, only such parts of the sovereignty of the nation as have been delegated to the government, belong to it. The rest of it remains in the people—The constitution it is, which prescribes the boundaries of those parts of sovereignty, which the people have granted. And the exercise of any power which the constitution does not warrant, is, therefore, an usurpation of the rights and sovereignty of the people.
Is, then, such an usurpation valid, or is it utterly void?
If it is valid, the rights of the people are destroyed, their sovereignty is prostrated, and their liberty lies at the feet of the usurper.
If it is void, it is a contradiction in terms to say that the judiciary can be bound to enforce what is an absolute nullity.
But it is said, the legislature has a right to construe the constitution, and that the judiciary is at most but a co-ordinate, not a paramount authority. This is admitted—The legislative construction always has been, and always ought to be, treated by the judges with all the respect which does not approach to blind and servile submission. They assume no censorship of the legislature, nor pretend to exercise any control over them—they only refuse to enforce, when called upon to do so, an invalid usurpation of those rights which the people have not granted.
If the legislative construction is final and absolute; if the members of the Senate, and house of representatives are conclusively the arbiters of the extent of their own authority, it was absurd to affix any limitation to their powers. They would then be uncontroulable and despotic; for as it is the construction of every authority which gives to it any operation or effect, the constitution would be, whatever in their discretion, it ought to be, and their powers would soon equal their ambition.
The right of the judiciary therefore to refuse to enforce an unconstitutional law, only provides another security for the maintenance of the sovereignty of the people, and merely supposes that "when the will of the legislature declared in its statutes, stands in opposition to the will of the people declared in the constitution, the judges ought to be governed by the latter rather than the former; that they ought to regulate their decisions rather by the fundamental laws, than by those which are not fundamental."
Moreover does not history disclose so many instances of legislative wickedness & folly as to render it wise to preserve some check upon the proceedings of this branch of government. The legislature of the Roman republic surrendered the freedom of the nation to Augustus. The legislature of England, declared that the will of Henry the 8th should be the law of the land. The legislature of France declared Napoleon emperor. And a bill was brought into the legislature of the United States, for vesting all the powers of the government of Louisiana, legislative, executive, and judicial, in the person of Mr. Jefferson.
Let us then my countrymen be instructed by the lessons of experience. Let us not abuse or abolish one branch of the government merely to aggrandize another. Let us not place the leaders of the legislature on ground so commanding, as, that both the constitution and the people must bend to their tyranny. And by keeping each of the departments within its constitutional jurisdiction let us be assured that neither of them can exercise an illegitimate or oppressive authority.

Two grand attacks are making against the constitution of the United States, and against the constitution of the state of Pennsylvania. Our first patriots are engaged in the undertaking, Mr. J. Randolph, Mr. Joseph H. Nicholson, Dictator Duane, and Dr. Leib: the two former, against the constitution of the United States, and the two latter against that of Pennsylvania. The causes that have more particularly awakened the amor patriæ of these statesmen, are not dissimilar. In the state of Pennsylvania, the judges of the Supreme Court, in the prosecution of their duty, had most unavoidably been guilty of offending that great and meritorious character the Editor of the Aurora; an offence of the most heinous description. For this temerity of the judges, they must be removed from office. The legislature of the state, request the governor to remove them. The governor refuses.—What shall be done next? Impeach them. A cause of impeachment is conjured up. They are tried and acquitted. There is an end, says that great man Duane, to all our rights and liberties. We have gone through all the calamities of a revolutionary war with Great Britain in vain. I, the organ of the public will, and as great a man in my own estimation as any other in the Union, am opposed in my patriotic career by the judges of this state, by the governor of this state, by the senate of this state, and by the constitution of this state. And is my great opposers will to be frustrated by barriers like these? Shall my services and sacrifices be thus rewarded? The shining of the sun on just as well as on me, I cannot prevent; over the stars of heaven I have no direction; but over this district of the world's surface I will have controul: He spake, and a convention was demanded.
Petitions are now flowing in from different parts of that state, requesting its legislature to call a convention for the purpose of altering the constitution so that the governor, who would not remove the judges, shall himself be removed; so that the senators, who would not remove the judges, shall themselves be removed; and so that the judges who offended Mister Duane shall be removed by the legislature; and all this under the prostituted name of republicanism.
The ruinous lengths, to which these daring attempts inevitably lead, has roused the dormant spirit of the best of those whom empty professions of republicanism have heretofore misled: Godwinian doctrines are not swallowed by all: Man is not yet perfect. The time has not yet arrived, when that author so much desired to see, when laws, government, juries, oaths, &c. should be at an end: Government is still considered necessary, and as human nature now is a blessing: These characters, who mean to be republicans, though they have been denominated democrats, have united together under the name of Constitutionalists, for the purpose of arresting the rapid strides that are making to anarchy. The federalists have witnessed with sorrowful forebodings the insanity of the times. But now when they perceive that reason is drawing largely to her fold from the flock of democracy the most able and upright, they thank God and take courage. Dictator Duane and Doctor Leib may yet be foiled, may yet be
In all their wiles defeated and repulsed.
Let us now take a view of the proceedings against the national constitution; proceedings not dissimilar in their origin, but instigated by the same motives of resentment.
The enmity of the violent democrats to the judges of the supreme court of the United States arose purely from a difference of political principles. The constitution of the United States, unlike the constitutions of some of the individual states, permits no removal of a judge from office but by conviction on impeachment. This excellent principle of the constitution was reprobated till since the commencement of the present administration. It is a little remarkable that when the constitution was discussed in the convention of this state, eagle-eyed as were its opposers in detecting its errors, no one, not even the great Patrick Henry, whose fears led him to distrust almost every thing in it; no one, we say, objected to the tenure by which the judges were to hold their offices. On the contrary, this feature of the constitution was only mentioned with applause.
Certain patriotic characters, though they had not been personally offended by the judges of the supreme court, as the patriot Duane had been by the judges of Pennsylvania, felt, however, as high a degree of resentment against them, as the great man of Pennsylvania felt towards the judges of his state. All of the judges were obnoxious, but most of all, judge Chase. We little doubt of a settled determination to remove the whole of them. Judge Chase was considered as the most proper victim with which to begin. The judge was acquitted. Foiled in the very threshold of their enterprise, patriots Randolph and Nicholson, like patriots Duane and Leib, attempt to force the execution of their vengeance by a direct attack on the vitals of the constitution; and this dusky spirit of revenge.
With Tarquin's ravishing Rides towards its design, Moves like a ghost— flies from the high court of justice, by whose decision it ought to have been silenced, and through the house of representatives appeals to the people for revenge on the obnoxious judges and denounced senators, even through the direct subversion of the constitution.
This important subject, of a most alarming nature, is now brought before the good sense of all the people of the United States. They are called upon by every thing sacred and dear to their own interests, to divest themselves of the influence of party feelings, to discuss with moderation and candor, to decide with firmness, and exert their influence in pressing on those who are already elected as legislators, to abandon the ground they may have unguardedly taken in the heat of resentment; or in preventing the election of men who are known to be disposed to favor the great designs of destruction that threaten the stability, the very existence of our republican system.
We recommend most highly the following remonstrance and memorial of the most worthy and enlightened of the democrats of Pennsylvania. It is the remonstrance of the constitutional society of republicans in that state; at the head of which we observe the name of Alexander J. Dallas. It applies with almost equal force in every part to the attempts on the constitution of the union. Though concise, it is the marrow of argument. It deserves more than one perusal.
To the Senate and House of representatives of the general assembly of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
The Memorial and Remonstrance of the subscribing citizens.
Respectfully sheweth, THAT your memorialists perceive with surprise, regret and apprehension, the attempt which is made to induce the legislature to call a state convention, for the avowed purpose of introducing a radical change, in the principles and provisions of the constitution of Pennsylvania.
That your memorialists cannot consider it material to enquire into the origin and progress of this alarming project; nor will they examine the authority of the legislature to give it sanction and effect: For they are confident that the virtue and good sense of the people, will be ultimately displayed on the occasion; and that the fidelity and impartiality of their representatives, furnish an assurance of a fair and full opportunity, for deliberation and decision.
That your memorialists deem it, however, a duty to themselves, to their fellow-citizens, and to posterity, to offer a solemn remonstrance against the projected call of a convention.
1st. Because the constitution of Pennsylvania (which was the work of her wisest & best citizens, & which has been adopted, as a model for the constitutions of every state of the union, formed subsequent to its establishment) exhibits nothing essentially defective in its theory, and in its operation, has gratified the rational hopes of every friend of civil liberty and public order.
It secures the right of general suffrage, the principles of political equality, the foundations of private property, the safety of persons, the trial by jury, and the privilege of the press.
It defines and aparts the legislative, executive and judicial powers.
It gives to legislation the advantages of caution and experience; on the executive magistrate it confers useful authority, while it exacts constant responsibility; and to the judges it communicates a character and a sense of independence, without which in a republican government, the administration of justice would be a mockery and a name; varying its current and its colour, according to the fears or the hopes of every popular election.
It renders every public agent amenable, immediately, or mediately to the people.
And it establishes a legislative jurisdiction, competent to reform all the abuses, to supply all the defects, and to correct all the inconveniences, which can occur in the details of executive and judicial transactions.
If a state of society is necessary to the peace, improvement and happiness of man kind: And if a state of society implies a government of laws, what system does the history of nations present, what free system can the ingenuity of politicians, devise better calculated for the peace, improvement and happiness of man!
Against the alteration, or abolition, of this system, framed, approved and deliberately ratified, by the people, your memorialists thus tender their solemn remonstrance.
II. Because the ostensible change which is proposed to be made in the Constitution of Pennsylvania, is calculated to destroy the political symmetry, the practical energy, of the system. To invigorate the popular part of the Legislative Department, it is proposed to take from the Senate, the benefit of experience; from the Executive Magistrate, the attributes of useful authority; and from the Judicial Office, its duration and independence. The inevitable effect of such a change must, indeed, be to blend and absorb, in the more numerous branch of the General Assembly, (even if two branches should still be tolerated) all the functions of Government, Legislative, Executive and Judicial; than which, a scheme of greater tyranny, cannot be conceived. For,
The Senate will not venture to reject the legislative propositions of its co-ordinate, but more numerous and more influential branch of the legislature.
The Executive Magistrate rendered feeble & timid, will anxiously yield obedience to the wishes of the popular branch of the legislature, as the most able to protect his official existence.
The subordinate officers of the state, being appointed by a legislative vote, every session, will exhibit a scene of intrigue, favoritism, and clamor.
The judges, holding their commissions upon the tenure of their popularity, not of their good behavior, will naturally be led to make the fluctuating standard of legislative politics, not the steady scales of justice, the rule and measure of their decisions.
Against such a change, your memorialists offer a solemn remonstrance.
III. Because the call of a convention, for the purpose of making a radical change in the principles and forms of the constitution, ought, at all times, to proceed only from a motive and a cause, just, obvious, cogent, and generally approved: Whereas the measure, at this time, is unnecessary, unexpected, speculative, and inexpedient. Besides, whatever may be the ostensible cause for the call, the convention once met, will act without limitation, restraint, or controul: And who can calculate the danger of the experiment, or the evil of the example!
It will agitate, inflame, and may, fatally, divide the people.
It will dissolve the bonds of social union and destroy the hope and the safeguard of personal liberty and private property.
It tends to deprive the people of every fixed principle of Government, substituting a perpetual revolutionary effort, by which the constitution will change with every change of party, and of party leaders; with every gust of popular passion, and every impulse of political disappointment.
It tends to bring Republican institutions into discredit and hazard; to generate licentiousness and anarchy; and, finally, to establish Despotism, upon the ruins of American freedom, liberty, and independence.
Against any legislative agency, in producing such dreadful and destructive consequences, your memorialists pronounce a solemn warning and remonstrance.

King-Street,
Respectfully informs the public that he has received from Lee & Co's Parent and Family Medicine Store, New York, 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.

Dr. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A foreign remedy for Colds, Obsolete Coughs Asthma, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and Approaching Consumption.
Is 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 tried it in an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with foramen 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 Hamby, 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—relaxation in chiasmus unfavourable to the constitution—the inordinate 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—old age, &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 weaknesses, Relaxations,  Seminal weaknesses, 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, palsay, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. &c. and has performed more cures in the above complaint 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.
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, particular excellence of this remedy is its being suited to every age and condition; contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is so mild in its operation that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old should no worms exist in the body, but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. They are particularly effectual in carrying off all gross humors and corruptions; feverish and bilious complaints, the safest and mildest purgative that can be used on the occasion.
Description of Worms, & the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Tænia 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—Convulsive and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Staring 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 towns of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Bleeding at the nose—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—by Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges,
(Selected from thousands) the authenticity of which any person may ascertain, either by letter or personal application.
TAPE WORM.
Mr. SAMUEL FULLER, Inn-keeper, on the Harford road, ten miles from Baltimore, began about 20 months ago to be grievously afflicted with a tape worm, which increased fast in size and strength, so as to excite the most horrid sensations by its writhing motions and intolerable pains, resembling the gnawing and tearing of his bowels, which deprived him of his necessary sleep, and caused such dreadful apprehensions as cannot be conceived but by one in a similar situation—his appetite was reduced 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 a bout 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 wish to make further inquiries on the subject. Although Hamilton's worm lozenges produce such powerful effects, when necessary, yet they are perfectly innocent and mild in their operation on the human body, even taken in large doses, as Mr. Fuller will testify—their particular mildness is abundantly evident in innumerable cures of infants. Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, Yorktown, Pennsylvania.
Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOLTHER minister of the Moravian church, in Yorktown. York, January 4th, 1802.
Dear Sir, Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recommended to me as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms, I procured a box for the use of my family, to try, whether by means of this medicine, I might be enabled to gain a point, which, to accomplish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very restless at night grew leaner from time to time; in short, he seemed to be in a precarious state of health, which would yield to none of the medicines administered, until I gave him two doses of lozenges, agreeably to the directions, which carried off a substance to all appearance a mercurius 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 MOLTHER.
