ORIGINAL REMARKS.
EXAMEN OF THE FRENCH ANSWER TO THE NOTE OF M. NOVOZILTZOFF.
The attention of the political world has this week been wholly directed to the answer of the note of M. Novoziltzoff, as it appeared in the Moniteur . It is generally, and undoubtedly with justice, regarded as official; and as such we now propose to examine it.
The first and most prominent singularity of this Manifesto, for such we must consider it, is the general tone in which it answers the Russian note. It is calm and argumentatively moderate; but through every part carries the features of firmness, and a fixed and invincible resolution not to yield in any point. Its calmness is that self-persuasion in the justice of its claims, and a settled purpose of abiding the issue of war, and a coalition of all the powers of Europe in maintaining them. This paper is not one of those vague, declamatory answers which, instead of the temper and gravity of official documents, has usually expressed the passions of individuals. It breathes the spirit of the French court as much as if it had been transcribed from the pages of their council book.
It commences with an observation which is too just; it says that M. Novoziltzoff was only to treat with the emperor in person, and demands whether this were consistent with the established decorum of diplomatic form? Certainly not. Bonaparte, whether acknowledged or not by the states of Europe, is still supreme in France; and if M. Novoziltzoff met him at all, he was to meet him in his own palace. Was Bonaparte, therefore, in his own territory, to depose himself, as the preliminary to a negotiation with a Russian commissary? Was he to throw off his robe and become his own secretary, in other words acknowledge his equality with Novoziltzoff.
It is true indeed that Bonaparte himself has not unfrequently, though in another manner, violated these same forms. His inconsiderate letter to the king of England, whilst only consul, and not as yet established, was of this nature, and in the heat of victory we believe he has often repeated the same formalities. But the cautious, considerate court of Petersburg, if it meant any thing, should have known better. Bonaparte could not have received such a mission, Novoziltzoff therefore must have been sent in vain.
The memorial next enters upon immediate purpose. It denies nothing, but justifies every thing. It acknowledges that the French armies have conquered the greater part of Europe, and what their armies had left their intrigues had brought under their influence. It avers in the tone of triumph not of defence, that the Rhine and the Adige are the real boundaries of France; and that Italy, as her conquest, is at her disposal.
The Manifesto does not affect to deny that this destroys the former state of things, and introduces a new system into Europe. But it maintains that the balance of power is still preserved & as perfect as at any former period—that France has undoubtedly augmented her power, but that she has been compelled to it by the prior aggrandizements of other powers.
There is in such defence this sophistry—that the acquisitions of other nations have added little to their real power; in other words, have done nothing to render the other nations of Europe insecure.
Powers dangerous to the states of Europe can only exist in Europe itself. The conquests of the emperor of China have never been thought to vary the state of Europe. The acquisition of the further banks of the Ohio by the United States was suffered without a remonstrance.
"The Crimea, Mount Caucasus, and the mouth of the Phasis, &c. have been seized on, and it became necessary that France should have an equivalent in Europe. Her self-preservation required it."
If this be not already answered by what has been said above, that the possession of Mount Caucasus has not given to Russia any augmentation of power which can be brought to bear against the nations of Europe, another, and an equally satisfactory answer is at hand. Russia is a growing empire; an empire in its youth, if not in its infancy; its growth is according to the course of nature, and its acquisitions the effect of its prudence, and a rigorous administration of its natural resources. If its aggrandizement were a just cause for stop-powers of Europe must either be at barbarism, or have lived
in a state of continued warfare to check the growth of each other. But such is not the law, or rather the purpose of Nature. Every state, if equally well administered, has the same sources of this gradual improvement, and as all will thus be growing at the same time, none can by this course of nature obtain such a predominance as to menace the security of the other. Russia has indeed extended her own borders and opened the mouth of rivers, long useless, and never employed, to the possessors. In other words, Russia has recovered provinces from barbarism, and conquered for civilization. The Phasis will no longer be a desert of waters.
Russia, rising as a barrier between the savage and civilized world, has placed an eternal check to those incursions of barbarians which formerly desolated the face of Europe.
Russia is in fact the only power of Europe in a state of growth, all others having reached their maturity, and many the point of decay. She thus exhibits an interesting spectacle, that of a grand and boundless reservoir, whence in various and well conducted channels, flow the streams of civilization to animate and fertilize the wastes of barbarism. In this view we cannot but contemplate her as the chosen instrument in the hands of providence, to complete the economy of his benevolence,—to civilize by slow but constant, and therefore certain degrees, the habitable world, and versify the ancient prophecy, by rendering universal the benefits of the christian system. It is not therefore with jealousy, but with triumph, that we see the accession of a power, which carries civilizations with its victories, and a system of more perfect benevolence, not to say religion, through its conquests.
The present state of Russia, therefore, offers no justification to the ambition of France. France has no cause to fear her, because her power is not in Europe. She has no right to check her, because, in the first place, it is not necessary to her security; and, in the second place, her aggrandizement, such as it is, is the effect of her natural growth, and not of her ambition.
We regret that we cannot extend this argument to our conquests in India. We write neither from nor to any party, and adhering to truth will not affect to defend what we cannot but consider as almost indefensible. But we do not hesitate to assert, that the conquests in India are not according to the spirit of our government, and that the system always disapproved, is at this moment abandoned.
But these conquests in India do not affect the main question. They add but little, very little, to our effectual power in Europe. The annexation of Switzerland would give more to France with regard to predominance in Europe, than the possession of India to the wall of China would give to the English. In a word, the imperial policy, and perhaps, injustice, of our Indian conquests, have nothing to say to the security of France or Europe, and therefore neither can these, any more than the gradual growth of Russia, justify her assumption of an accession of power in Europe upon the plea of self preservation. The injustice of these conquests is between the native powers and ourselves, and France, as having no concern in the question, has no right to become a common judge.
With regard to her complaints of our commerce, we have already given an answer. It is the fault of our industry, and according to the course of things. Let France increase by the same means. If it be not in her power, her own impotency can give her no right to check the prosperity of another.
"But is France to suffer our commerce to attain an height so as to endanger the seas, which as the common benefit of nature should be enjoyed by all in common?" —Certainly not.—France and the States of Europe have then a clear right to interpose and call upon us for securities to keep the peace, these securities are commercial treaties; our refusal to give these treaties, or abide by them, would be, doubtless, a sufficient cause of war, or of France availing herself of all her resources. But the commerce of Great Britain has not reached this point, and indeed never can, as commerce, by its very nature, requires parties—a buyer and a seller—and we cannot monopolize this commerce unless all Europe consent that it should be so monopolised. But this supposition is absurd.—It is the interest of nations, as of individuals, to buy cheap and open their markets to all comers.
"But the partition of Poland changed the relative strength of the powers concerned." This cannot be denied. But because Russia, Prussia, and Austria, ob-
tained one pound of additional force, is France, as a security against being overborne by this augmentation, to seize all Holland, Switzerland, the half of Germany and the whole of what is of any value in Italy? The true policy of France was to have interposed in the first instance to have prevented this partition. But as it has been effected, let France be contented with a proportionate acquisition; let her be satisfied at least with Belgium, which is worth all Poland. Europe, conscious of its unfortunate error in the affair of Poland, was satisfied that Belgium should rest with France; but it cannot remain passive when she extends her claims thro' all her conquests.
And hence we cannot but reflect upon the fatal consequences of this unhappy partition. The balance of power as established by previous treaties, from that of Westphalia downwards, had hitherto been considered as the public law of Europe; each state was considered as having its settled boundary, and each increasing equally, as by the same means, that of the natural course of things, it was wisely believed, that this established equality would long remain.
It resulted as a necessary principle from this system, that no power should ever be allowed to retain its conquests. Hence a most salutary limitation, to the frequency, the duration, the spoil, and therefore the temptations of wars. The partition of Poland terminated this system. Hence the present pretensions of France and the ruin of Europe, in the annexation of her conquered provinces to the REPUBLIC of France.
"But France is in effect the most moderate power in Europe. If she had been inclined to retain her conquests one half of Austria, the states of Venice, the kingdom of Naples, Switzerland and Holland would be now in her possession."
It is difficult to conceive what is here meant, or that any thing can be meant but one of those jeers which effectually acknowledges what it verbally denies.—France conquered the Emperor—and has since not retained Belgium, and an influence in Germany, that to adopt the tone of the manifesto upon another point, Bonaparte reigns in Germany more than the emperor himself?
Is there scarcely a German prince who does not look to him for the continuance, & in the event of a war, the augmentation of his present state, from the spoils of another who shall have the courage to oppose him. What is it that has withheld Austria from a war, now become necessary to her existence? What but the difficulty of procuring the quotas from the German princes now under the influence of Bonaparte.—Is there one of them in whom the emperor of Germany can have any confidence. The emperor, indeed, too well knows that he shall scarcely have recommenced the war with France, before there will be an emulation of treason amongst the German princes, which shall entitle him to the patronage of the invader by the earliest submission.
If such be the situation of Germany, what is that of Prussia? We have no time for words; and, therefore in one sentence; that of a vice-royalty to France; that of a Roman conquest, where the moderation of the senate allowed the king to keep his throne till the people themselves became weary of the shadow of a crown, and the Roman party being daily increased, found an easy pretext to call in their protectors.
"But this is influence which, as not obtained by force is not as yet an object for arms to wrest away."
Influence however is effectually power, and power becomes dangerous, however acquired, is equally a reasonable subject of complaint.
"But Holland and Switzerland are not annexed to France."
This does not merit an answer. Why are the French armies in Holland and Switzerland. Doubtless to protect their infant liberties.
"But Venice, and the kingdom of Naples were conquered, and yet surrendered upon peace. That is to say you remained contented with half of Italy. Whence is the Venetian government interrupted by French spies, and the imprisonment of an individual by the police, retaliated by a national act. Is this according to any law or practice in the intercourse of states? Could the king of Naples, with all his independence, arrest a French pickpocket in his own kingdom?"
Spain is not, indeed, noticed in this memorial; and wisely so. By what means, against her evident interest, and to her probable ruin, has she become your ally? There is but one means by which she has become so; that your arts had rendered her previously your slave.
It is thus, either by conquest or influence, Holland, Switzerland, all Italy, the greater part of Germany, Prussia and Spain, are all at the mercy of the French power, and altogether constitute a mass of force, which clearly and loudly commands what remains of Europe to consider the situation. It is in vain that Russia shall annex a Mahratta state, whilst France has annexed a kingdom after kingdom in Europe, and our distant colonies are of no avail. The Brazils will follow the fate of Portugal—South America that of Spain, the Indies that of England.
We are next accused of having established a maritime power, more dangerous to the peace of Europe than all the military force of France; there is more to be dreaded from our encroachments upon the ocean than from the usurpation of France on the Continent.
This we deny; a military and maritime power are very different in their origin, their tendency, and effect. A naval power springs from large mercantile marine, which has a source less honorable in the manufacturing industry a peaceful labor of a country. To such a power colonies are necessary, as a vent for their commodities; and the acquisition and establishment of such colonies are no less useful to the parent than to Europe in general. It is, above all, the interest of such a power to maintain peace; conquest cannot be its object, and indeed, what power ever dreaded the ambition of England, Holland, or America? Conquests are contrary to the nature and interests of such powers.
Whatever be the reverse may be said of a military state like that of France. It takes root in despotism; it lives and flourishes but in war and the prospect of war; and whilst, in its own territories, it is secure against all the naval force of the universe, it is the cause of perpetual alarm and jealousy to every state in its neighborhood.
The conclusion from what has been above said is of easy deduction, that the conquests of France and the influence of France, are all of immediate concern, as pregnant with immediate consequences to every state of Europe; that they are a power in the true sense of the word, and a power predominant, overwhelming, and under the direction of an heart and head, and hand, which can at once dare, contrive, and execute. That the conquests of England in India, and even of Russia on her extreme borders, have added nothing to their power, in a sense dangerous to the liberties of other states, and have the alone not effected such alterations in the system of Europe, as to render the accessions of the French indifferent to the securities of the Continent; that these conquests of Russia and England cannot justify the encroachments of France; that the acquisition of colonies have never been considered as affecting the system of Europe; that South America and the Brazils, never added one scruple to the European power of Spain and Portugal, and therefore were never in this point of view considered in any one treaty.
In one word, that the balance of power has never been materially affected by the conquests of Russia and England; that the system is now wholly destroyed by the French. It is not perhaps irrecoverably gone: The consolation yet remains, that the system may be restored in its proper vigor and harmony, however dreary the present prospect. May the joint efforts of Russia and England justify this Note.
SPRINGFIELD, (Mass.) Oct. 15.
Extract of a letter, received by a gentleman in this town, from general Eaton, dated on board the United States frigate Constitution, at sea, June 17, 1805.
"After a tedious and perplexing march of fifty days through the desert of Libya, I arrived on the 25th of April, and took post at the head of Hamet Bashaw's army in the rear of Derne. Our movements in Egypt had induced Joseph Bashaw to send an army to the defence of the province, which was within 14 hours march of the place when we arrived. The governor of Derne was also ordered, and determined, with a garrison of Turkish soldiery and about one third of the city in his interest to resist our approach. Commodore Barron had sent to the coast, to assist our operations, the brig Argus , the schooner Nautilus and the sloop Hornet ; also two pieces of field artillery. On the morning of the 25th I sent a flag to the governor with overtures of friendship, on condition of nonresistance and allegiance to Hamet Bashaw, which he sent back with this laconic answer, "My head or yours!" The next day we attacked him by sea and land, and after a sharp contest of two hours and a half, carried the place by charge of bayonet. The governor took refuge in a sanctuary, and of most of his adherents fled and either joined the advancing army of Joseph Bashaw, or took the desert. The few christians I had with me suffered severely in the action; nearly one third of them were either killed or wounded; because our Arabs, not having been accustomed to this kind of close decision left us the burthen of the day. I had the misfortune to receive a musket ball through my left wrist, just below the joint, which I fear will deprive me of the use of my hand. I immediately began to fortify

...by reversing the embrasures of the battery, sinking a line of intrenchments and making a parapet without the fort. Hamet Pasha opened his fire at the late go- vernors palace in the city, and the inhabi- tants universally and with apparent disa- ppointment recognised him.  On the 13th of May the enemy's army advanced and attacked us with all its force, and after a hard contest of four hours with various suc- cess, they gave way and retreated precipi- tately to their camp behind the mountains. We were too weak in our number of men to pursue this success, the bar- barians in themselves, and our Saracen allies, and newly acquired allies at Derne, refused to act no longer offensively with- out pecuniary consideration; of this we were destitute. Each party therefore held on with small skirmishing till the 28th when a party of the enemy, of fifty or sixty men, covered with a troop of cavalry, de- scended the mountain, fell on the right flank of our Arab camp, and drove off seve- ral camels and cattle. A detachment of the bashaw's people pursued these marau- ders, overtook them at the foot of the mountain, killed three of them and reco- vered the plunder. While this was trans- acting I made a sortie with five officers & thirty rank and file Americans & Greeks, volunteers, took a ravine undiscovered & reached the summit of the mountain before the enemy. We received them on the point of the bayonet. They made a short resist- ance and then fled. We pursued them within a short distance of the camp, killed their captain and five men, and wounded a great number; then retired in plain view of the whole army, without receiving the least injury. They apologise for this cow- ardly inactivity by choosing to believe we used to draw them into an ambuscade, on disadvantageous ground. The next day their commander in chief offered by procla- mation six thousand dollars for my head; double that sum for me a prisoner; and 50 dollars a head for my christians. This lit- tle affair put an end to skirmishing.  On the 10th instant the enemy having received reinforcements, again moved down & attacked. But after a well fought battle, of upwards of four hours and a half, they were put to flight with great loss both in men and horses. On this occasion we calculated the numbers actually in the field of both parties, to have been above five thousand. The bashaw deserves the merit of this victory—I had little to do with its arrangement and could not render him any assistance in arms, but from the fire of a single field piece. The vessels had a better position and occasionally galled the enemy with their heavy metal; but the fact is, I doubted the propriety of further offensive operations, having been officially informed that a negotiation was pending between the United States and Joseph Bashaw.  The next day the Constellation appear- ed and came to anchor in the offing. No sooner was she seen by the enemy, than they decamped irregularly, leaving most of their heavy baggage, and took up a precipi- tate retreat towards the desert, under an apprehension that she brought us reinforce- ments and supplies. She brought me a letter from our commissioner of peace."  NEW-YORK, October 21.  French Robbery. —We have been favor- ed with a protest of David Cotheal and William Cook, masters of the brig Betsy and schooner Betsy, dated the 12th of Sep- tember at Kingston, Jamaica. By this protest it appears that the brig Betsy and schooner Betsy, were bound from New- York to Mosquito shore on the Spanish Main, with a cargo of dry goods, iron- mongery, and lumber; and on the 30th of August, being in the Caicos passage, they were boarded by three French schooner privateers under English colors, and car- ried under the West Caicos, and brought to anchor. A boat's crew from each of the privateers then came on board the brig and schooner, and plundered the cabin and ves- sel of every thing of value—amongst other things of new clothes, bolts of canvas, &c. The day following they came on board the brig, and after taking off the hatches plum- bered the cargo of every thing valuable: also stores and provisions. They broke open almost every box, trunk, chest and package, and took such articles as they thought fit, and then destroyed the greater part of the brig's stores and started every cask of water on board, except one. Pe- ter Rose, the supercargo of the above ves- sel, was taken on board the above priva- teer, and the commander of one of them endeavored to prevail on him to ransom the brig and schooner, which he refused to do. He was then requested to sign a paper pur- porting that the privateers had been sup- plied from the said brig with a very few
trifling articles, which they had stood in need of, and that they had not ill-used or offered any violence to any neutral vessel." On Mr. Rose refusing to sign the said pa- per, he was treated with abusive language, and ordered to return on board his vessel. The passengers of the brig and schooner, on being requested, also refused to ransom the vessel, or to sign the above mentioned paper. They then returned the papers be- longing to the brig, excepting the manifest, which they retained, and ordered them to get under way. While they were getting under way, a boat from one of the priva- teers came on board the brig with five A- merican seamen prisoners, who were taken by them from on board an American sch'r called the St. Michael, of Baltimore, which had a short time before been captured by the said privateer and sent to Barracoa. Being thus short of provisions and water, and having five additional seamen on board, the brig and schooner were obliged to bear away for the nearest port for a supply, and arrived at Kingston the 4th of September last.
CHARLESTON, October 12.  A French privateer schooner has been cruizing off the bar for two days past; she brought to all the outward bound vessels yesterday.  The ship Dolphin, Smith, for this port, was to sail from Guadaloupe a few days after the Leander. Captain Vincent was boarded by the French privateer now cruizing off our bar; she mounts 12 or 14 guns, is from Barracoa or St. Jago.  Captain Brown spoke yesterday, in Tybee, the ship Eliza, Stokes, from Liverpool for Savannah. The schooner Ann, captain Hancock, for this port, failed with captain Flagg, from Tabasco, and parted company three days after. On the 7th September, captain F. spoke the British pilot boat Schooner Duke of Athol, of New Prov- idence, with her a French privateer of one eigh- teen pounder, which she had captured two days before.  The brig Mary, on the 24th September, in a heavy squall, was thrown on her beam ends, in which situation she lay upwards of an hour, when, having cut away her mainmast, she righted.—September 29, in lat. 32, 28, long. 67, 33, spoke the British frigate Ville de Milao, under jury masts, for Halifax, having carried away her fore and main mast, in a heavy gale of wind, fifteen days before. The captain of the frigate informed captain Taber, that he had spoken, in lat. 38, long. 67, the brig Ruby, from New Haven for Barbadoes, with live stock, dismasted, September 30, spoke brig ——, capt. Vinten, 14 days from Guadaloupe for Philadelphia. Captain V. had taken four men from the wreck of a vessel belonging to New York; the supercargo- mate, and three men were lost. October 6, lat. 31, 50, long. 73, spoke a fleet of five schooners, from St. Domingo, for Norfolk and Baltimore, two of which were armed.  Capt. Taber left in Walwich Bay, ship Hun- ter, Butler, from Brazil, with 1500 bbls. Oil for New Bedford; and ship Herald, Coffin, from New Bedford for Brazil.  The brig Pilgrim, Smith, from Rhode Island for Savannah, got ashore on the South Breakers, near Cockspur, on the 18th inst. She was got off with much difficulty, with the loss of her cables and anchors.  Yesterday arrived the British floop of war Pe- trel, captain Lamborne, and the American ship Two Friends, capt. M'Neill, both from King- ston, Jamaica. On Saturday, at one o'clock, off North Edisto, the Petrel, was engaged by the French privateer schooner, which has been cru- izing off this port for some days past. The priva- teer ran along side, and attempted to board when a broadside from the Petrel was poured into her, which made great havoc among the crew. The action lasted about twenty minutes, when the Frenchman heaved off, and set all sail to escape. The floop of war gave chase, which was contin- ued for some hours, but by taking and manœu- vring she got off with the age of the ship a- scape. Lieutenant Maitland, and one man, of the Petrel, were killed in the action, and four men wounded, one of which suppos'd mortally. When the privateer attempted to board, one of her crew, an American, sprang into one of the port holes, and is now a prisoner on board the Petrel.  The privateer is the Superb, capt. Dominique, the same that captured the brig Jane, of Balti- more, a short time since. They took the Petrel for a Guineaman, nor did they discover their mistake till they got along side. When they found her to be a ship of war, one of the French officers attempted to haul down the privateer's co- lours, but the captain instantly blew out his brains. The privateer received much injury in the action, had her larboard bows beat in, and had a great number of her men killed and wound- ed.  The remains of lieutenant Maitland were this morning deposited in the burial ground of St. Phi- lip's church. A detachment of marines and sea- men from the ship, attended the funeral, and per- formed the customary honors on the occasion.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25.
By an arrival at New-York, we have received New Orleans papers, to the 23d ult. They con- tain nothing important. The Viper, British pri- vateer, was cruizing off the Balize, and board- ing every vessel going in or coming out. On the 18th September, the marquis de Cass Calvo, is- sued circulars to all the Spanish officers in the ter- ritory, requiring them to repair without delay to Pensacola, to join their respective regiments.—The north eastern mail for Fort Stoddert and N. Orleans, was robbed near Tuckabatch towns, (Creek nation) and the rider shot. The portman- teau was afterwards found, cut up, and most of the letters and packages pillaged.  (Philadelphia Gaz.)
Philadelphia, 22d August, 1805.

To the Philadelphia county society for the prom- otion of agriculture and mechanic manufactures.  Having been favoured with the advantage of using the tops of Indian corn, cut as rye straw, to be mixed with potatoes, thots or meal, as a food for horses or cattle, I have been making the experiment during the present winter—I find that my cattle thrive better on this kind of fod- der than on rye straw. The corn stalks certain- ly contain a great quantity of farine substance, and therefore must be highly nutritive. Being cut and sealed with a small quantity of bran, they afford an excellent mess for milch cows.—In the common way of reducing cattle with corn tops, the blades are greatly eaten, but the stalks are wasted. By adopting the plan recom- mended, the whole affords a nutritive food.  I am, gentlemen, With great respect, Yours, &c. GEO. LOGAN.

Dr. Rawson's Anti-Bilious and Stomachel Bitters.
PREPARED BY THOMAS H. RAWSON, Member of the Connecticut Medical Society.
THESE Bitters have undoubtedly had the most rapid sale of any Patent Medicine e- ver before discovered, and are justly appreciated for their singular and uncommon virtues for re- storing weak and decayed constitutions, and all that train of complicated complaints so common in the spring and fall seasons, such as intermittant Fever and Ague, long Autumnal Fever, dys- enteries, &c. They are also a very pleasant bit- ter for common use, and where they are known they have taken the place and superceded the use of all other bitters in public houses as well as in private families.—Price 50 cts. a box.
Dr. Lee's (Windham) Biliary Pills.
THE great sale and increasing demand for these valuable pills for these twelve years past, speak their intrinsic worth. They have proved singularly efficacious in Biliary and Yellow fe- vers, Jaundice, Head Aches, Dysenteries, Biliary Cholic, Catarrhals, Female complaints, &c. The very great demand and high esteem in which these pills are held throughout the United States and the West Indies, has induced many to counterfeit them; the purchaser is requested to observe that the name of Samuel Lee, jun. (the patentee) is affixed to each bill of directions, in his own hand writing, or they will not be genu- ine. Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Itch Ointment.
A certain and safe application for that disa- greeable complaint called the ITCH . Price 42 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Anti Biliary Pills, or Family Phyic.
The extraordinary celebrity these pills have gained, the universal demand for them and the in which they are held by medical men of the first eminence, are sufficient testimonials of their in- trinsic worth. In great colic and sudden attacks of disorders, an early use of these pills often pro- duces the happiest effects, and taken once in eight or ten days in cases of indigestion, headache, diz- ziness, pains in the stomach and bowels, dysen- teries, diarrhoeas, droppies, &c. and a liberal use of my anti biliary bitters in the intermediate time has relieved patients almost to a miracle— price 25 cents a box.
Thompson's Aromatic Tooth Paste.
For the scurvy in the teeth and gums, and for whitening and preserving the teeth. It likewi- se takes off all disagreeable smells from the breath, which generally arises from scorbutic gums and bad teeth. This paste is much in use, and high- ly esteemed by all those who value the preservat- ion of their teeth, it may be applied at all times with the greatest safety. It is neatly put up in pewter boxes with paper directions. Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Worm Powders.
A medicine which for efficacy and ease in its operation stands unrivalled. The most authen- ticated proofs and respectable authorities of its astonishing virtues, and surprising effects, in ex- treme and alarming cases of worms, may be seen at the place of sale. Price 50 cents a packet.
