CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Friday, January 6.
DEBATE
On Mr. Randolph's motion for the appointment of a committee of enquiry into the official conduct of SAMUEL CHASE.
(Mr. Findley's speech Concluded.)
Mr. F. said this precedent applied well to the present case. If the judges mentioned in the resolution had done their duty their characters would be vindicated by the enquiry and public confidence in their integrity restored; if they were guilty and not intitled to confidence they ought to be removed from office, and neither the one nor the other could be done unless the enquiry proposed was authorised.
He said that an enquiry was necessary to secure the purity, honor and usefulness of the judiciary department. If that House refused or neglected to exert the powers vested therein for securing public confidence in the judiciary; unprincipled men would find means of recommending themselves to appointments and would vitiate the streams where justice is expected to flow, and the citizens would be oppressed without the means or hopes of redress, and would feel the effects of tyrannical power in the administration of a government which in its other departments was the greatest and best of any in the world. Let proper enquiries be made where they are necessary—let the character of judges unjustly charged be vindicated, and the vicious and unworthy be removed, and improper characters will cease to intrude themselves, their friends will not dare to recommend them, and Congress will have confidence that the laws which they pass will be applied agreeably to their genuine principles, to the protection and ease of the citizens; if we do not provide for this, we had better cease to make laws.
If virtuous men are appointed and the vicious discouraged, Congress may from particular circumstances be called on to make enquiries, but very rarely indeed to be employed in impeachments, no men of real virtue and talents would refuse a seat on the bench for fear of enquiry. He said that the judges of the supreme court in the state he had the honor of representing though they differed in political opinions, administered justice with such purity and diligence, that though some of them had been long in office they enjoyed the confidence of the citizens, were in no danger of impeachment or removal by vote, and he believed would not shrink from an enquiry if necessary. The more extensive the confidence of the citizens that was reposed in the judiciary the easier it would be to supply the vacancies with men of character and talents. He said that among several other observations which occurred to his mind, with offering which he would not now detain the House, he had once thought of stating other charges against the official conduct of these judges of which he had been well informed, but on reflection he declined mentioning them and thought it most for the public good to insist on the appointment demanded by a member on the responsibility of his own official character, and as a matter of right, and would do nothing that might impair the weight of the precedent that he hoped would be set by agreeing to the resolution as it stood.
Mr. F. said that having so long engaged the attention of the House he would conclude by observing, that as the case now stood it is proper for all the members to vote for the resolution, those that believed as he did, that there was a want of necessary confidence in those judges and that this want of confidence was occasioned by their unauthorised and oppressive conduct were obliged in conscience to vote for the enquiry, and every member who believed the judges to have done their duty, and that the public confidence is withdrawn from them without cause, are bound in duty to vote for the resolution in order that the judges may have an opportunity to vindicate their character, that confidence in them being restored they may become useful to the public, therefore in every light he could view it, he was convinced it was his duty to vote for the resolution and would act accordingly.
(To be continued.)
Narrative of the loss of his Majesty's packet Lady Hobart, on an island of ice, in the Atlantic Ocean, the 28th of June, 1803, with a particular account of the providential escape of the crew in two open boats.
By WM. DORSET FELLOWES, Esq. commander.
(CONTINUED FROM OUR LAST.)
In the course of this day there were repeated exclamations of a strange sail, although I knew it was next to impossible to discern any thing, owing to the thickness of the fog; yet they were urged from the several seamen with such apparent certainty of their object, that I was induced to put the boat before the wind to convince them of their error; and as I then saw in a very strong point of view the consequences of such deviations, I took occasion to remonstrate with them upon the subject; I represented, with all the force of which I was capable, that the depression arising from disappointment infinitely overbalanced the momentary relief proceeding from such delusive expectations, and I exhorted them not to allow such fancies to break out in expression. Under all these circumstances, the ladies particularly, with a heroism that no words can describe, afforded to us the best examples of patience and fortitude.
We all joined in prayers, which tranquillized our minds, and afforded us the consolatory hope of bettering our condition: on these occasions we were all bareheaded, notwithstanding, the incessant showers. At noon St. John's bore W. by N. half N. distance 148 miles. No observation.
Saturday July 2. It rained hard during the night, and the cold became so severe, that almost every one in the boat was unable to move. Our hands and feet were so swelled, that many of them became quite black, owing to our confined state, and the constant exposure to wet and cold weather. At day break I served out about the third of a wine glass of rum to each person, with a quarter of biscuit, & before noon, a small quantity of spruce beer, which afforded us great relief.
During the first part of this day it blew strong from the southward and westward, with foggy weather; towards noon, moderate breezes from the northward and eastward.
At half past eleven A. M. a sail was discovered to the eastward, standing to the northwest. Our joy at such a sight, with the immediate hopes of deliverance, gave us a new life. Immediately ordered the people to sit as close as possible to prevent our having the appearance of being an armed boat; and having tied a lady's shawl to the boat hook, I raised myself as well as I could, and from the bow waved it as long as my strength would permit me. Having hauled close to the wind, we neered each other fast, and in less than a quarter of an hour perceived the jolly boat. Our not having recognized her sooner, was owing to an additional sail having been made for her, out of one of my bed sheets, which had been accidentally thrown into the boat, and was set as a bonnet to the foresail.
I cannot attempt to describe the various sensations of joy and disappointment which were by turns expressed on all our countenances. As soon as we approached the jolly boat we, we threw out to her a tow-rope, and bore away for the north-west.
We now mutually inquired into the state of our respective crews, after the late dreadful gale; those in the jolly boat had suffered from swelled hands and feet, like ourselves, and had undergone great anxiety on our account, concluding us to have perished. The most singular circumstance was, their having steered two nights without any light, and our meeting again after such tempestuous weather could not have happened but from the interposition of Providence. Fearing a similar accident, we made a more equal distribution of our provisions; and having received from the jolly boat two bottles of wine and some biscuit, we gave them some rum in return.
Our hopes of deliverance had now been buoyed up to the highest pitch. The excitement arising from joy began perceptibly to lose its effects; and to a state of artificial strength succeeded such a despondency, that no entreaty or argument, could rouse some of the men to the common exertions of making sail.
To the French captain and several of the people who had suffered most, I now for the first time, served out a wine glass full of water. I had earnestly cautioned the crew not to taste the salt water, but some of the unhappy men had nevertheless, taken large draughts of it, and became delirious; some
were seized with violent cramps, and twitching of the stomach and bowels. I again took occasion to point out to the rest of them the extreme danger of such indiscretion.
Performed divine service. At noon St. John's bore W. by N. half N. distance 114 miles. No observation of the sun.
Sunday July 3. The cold, wet, hunger, thirst, which we now experienced, are not to be described, and made our situation very deplorable. At 8 P. M. having a strong breeze from the southward, we stood on under all the canvass we could spread, the jolly boat following in our wake, and pulling her oars to keep up with us. The French Captain, who for some days had laboured under a despondency which admitted of no consolation jumped overboard in a fit of delirium, and instantly sunk. The cutter at this time was going through the water so fast and the oar being lashed to the gun wale, it would have been impossible to save him, even had he floated. One of the other prisoners in the jolly boat became so outrageous that it was found necessary to lash him to the bottom of the boat.
The melancholy fate of the poor captain, whom I had learnt to esteem, affected me at first most sensibly; more, perhaps, than any other person; for on the day I was making my distribution in the boats, and was considering in which of them I should place him, he came to me with tears in his eyes, to implore me not to leave him to perish with the wreck. I assured him that I never entertained such an idea; that as I had been the accidental cause of his misfortune, I would endeavour to make his situation as easy as I could, and that, as we were all exposed to the same danger we would survive or perish together. This assurance and the hope of being speedily exchanged, if ever we reached the land, operated for a while in quieting his mind, but his fortitude soon forsook him, and the raw spirits, to which he had not been accustomed, producing in him the most dreadful intoxicating effects, hurried on the fatal event.
We were all deeply affected by this circumstance; the most trifling accident or disappointment was sufficient to render our irritable state more painful; and I was seized with such melancholy, that I lost all recollection of my situation for many hours a violent shivering had seized me, which returned at intervals; and as I had refused all sustenance, my state was very alarming; towards night, I enjoyed, for the first time, three or four hours sleep; a perspiration came on, and I awoke as from a dream, free from delirium, but painfully alive to all the horrors that surrounded me.
(To be Continued.)
NEW YORK, May 5.
Arrived brig Pallas, captain Sayre, in 18 days from Porto Rico. Captain S. furnishes us with the following accounts:—I sailed in the brig Pallas of Portsmouth from New York, March 15 commanded by John Flagg; on the 31st of the same instant we were captured by a French privateer L'Petit Eschel of Martinique, captain Allemand; were carried into Mayaguis, a small bay in the west end of Porto Rico, where we arrived the 5th of April, the cargo was all taken out of the brig and put on board a schooner belonging to Curacao, without any kind of process or trial whatever; after they had plundered her of every thing, they gave the vessel to me to do as I thought proper with her. They kept captain Flagg, and all the crew except myself and one seaman, on board the privateer and took one of our boats with an intention to set them ashore on old Cape Francois which bore S. S. W. from us, distant 5 or 6 leagues at the time she brought us too.
It was reported and generally believed in Mayaguis that the privateer had no commission.
While I lay there, two Americans were brought in by the privateer Bondieu, capt. Bernard, of St. Domingo, their cargoes were taken out in the same manner and without any kind of condemnation; the one was the Schooner Helen, of Norfolk, captain Shanks, the other the sloop Eliza of Newport, Slocum, both from the Bite of Leogane, loaded with Coffee. They were taken in the Turks Island passage, on the 1st of April. The Schooner John Vining, Addington, master, was taken at the same time in company with them by the same privateer, but she had not been heard of when I left Mayaguis, which was the 15th of April.
I was informed in Mayaguis, that about six weeks previous to my being carried in there, there was a brig sent in by a French

very valuable cargo, consisting of dry goods and provisions: she was on board except the private, the cargo was taken out and the vessel ballasted very deep stone and sent out under the pretence to St. Domingo to be condemned she had not been heard of since, and it generally believed in that place that she was taken to sea and destroyed; she had every appearance of an American but a short time at sea, as she were quite clean.
May 8. arrived sch'r Citizen, Lawson, in 52 days from Gibraltar. The ship Actress, Clark, New-York, had gone to Cetto, to load there, ship Baltimore, of Baltimore, Fred. Holmes, of Kennebec; Concord, of Salem; and Pomona, of New-York; brigs Friendship, Kearney, of Savannah; and Fox, Gardner, of Beverly, for Alexandria; United States brig Argus. March 27, lat. 33, long. 21, spoke schooner Gann, from Nantucket, for Maderia. — Captain Lawson informs, that the quarantine on American vessels in Spain had been reduced from 40 to 15 days.
Extract of a letter from Captain Sherman, of the Schooner Ulysses, of this port, dated St. Yago, March 27: I find on my arrival here eleven American vessels captured in going to or coming from St. Domingo. No foreign vessel is permitted to enter here, and nothing is to be bought or sold but pre-zo goods I enclose you a current, obtained from the most respectable authentic sources: Beef 8 dollars, pork 14, flour 10, pine boards 10 dollars per 1000 feet, lat 18 cents 10. cheese 10 dollars 18 c. hams 18 c. brown soap 12 c. do. 10 c. round candles 14 c. best coffee 10 c. inferior 14 to 16. These are the prices on board the vessel at the Moco; no vessel is permitted to go to town
PHILADELPHIA, May 9. Captain Boston, of the Schooner Republic, who arrived at the Lazaretto, on Monday in 21 days from New Orleans, informs, that General Wilkinson, had taken his passage in the ship Louisiana which was to sail in about 8 days after him, for New York.
CHARLESTON, May 1. Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Savannah, to his friend in this city, dated 26th ult. We have had a very considerable commotion in our city for the last two or three days. His Honor Judge Bowen, Judge of the District Court, took a passionate interest, and committed our Grand Jury to jail; and last night his honor was obliged to appear at the same rendezvous. They have, a few hours since, been liberated; but the Judge remains in very close confinement. The reasons for these strange proceedings are, that the Judge delivered every inflammatory charge to the Jury, relating to the legislature, and contemning the juridical conduct of the state; and declaring for the immediate emancipation and description of persons I need not mention. The Jury replied with much spirit and dignity—ending with a presentment to his honor, as an unfit person to sit on a bench, with a positive refusal to co-operate with him in any business of the court. This aroused the ire of the Judge; he drew pistols, threatened lives, and ordered the "contumelious rascals" to jail. There are many particulars which at present I have not time to communicate."
The blessings of democracy were shed most abundantly upon the citizens of Savannah on Wednesday last. Judge Bowen, in his charge to the Grand Jury, made an enthusiastic exposi- tion of the rights of man. The Jury did not tender the homage of their thanks to his honor, nor did they request that his charge should be made public. He returned to the Jury his wish that his charge should be published; they took the study, and an altercation ensued, which resulted in his ordering the Jury to jail. The Sheriff was rendered motionless by this extraordinary procedure, when his honor took from his pocket a pistol, and threatened to shoot him if he would not lodge the jury in jail, whither they were conducted. The members of Savannah met, and passed a variety of resolutions; they afterwards went to the jail and released the jury; thence to the lodgings of the judge, whom they seized and conducted to prison. His honor probably thought there was no remedy in recommending liberty and equality. Tom Paine had done all this in his "Rights of Man," another Tom had done the same in writing to his friend Bannecker, an almanac maker, and on all occasions deplored the condition of "suffering humanity." Although this was sound philosophy from both the Toms, yet it seemed heresy in a Georgia Judge, and he has been condemned by a town meeting to pass his time in prison. Of this Judge Bowen, all we know is, that he is a furious democrat; that he came with notions some years ago from Rhode-Island, and was made a Judge of the Superior Court in Georgia.

philosophy from both the Toms, yet it seemed heresy in a Georgia Judge, and he has been condemned by a town meeting to pass his time in prison. Of this Judge Bowen, all we know is, that he is a furious democrat; that he came with notions some years ago from Rhode-Island, and was made a Judge of the Superior Court in Georgia.

A Correspondent of yours, a few days since, made some mention of a "non-descript animal" that has appeared among us, and which some have designated a Collector of Militia Fines. I have read a little in Goldsmith's "Animated Nature," yet I am not learned enough to know how to class it; but as I understand that since you gave publicity to this communication, the animal has changed its colour, from a particular process, I would, to ascertain whether it may not be of the species of the Camelion, instead of the animal tribe, recommend a repetition of the experiment, though with a deeper dye.

Some of the Feds ridicule the idea of the existence of a Salt Mountain in our newly acquired territory—but all who sympathize in the "the throws of suffering humanity," should hope in its reality—for after a few more musters, many of them will be found—"not worth their salt." JEFFERSON'S MARCH.
IMPORTANT.
In the New York Mercantile Advertiser, received this morning, under date of May 8, is the following article.
Captain Miller of the brig Margaret, from Halifax, informs that just before his departure a British Government schooner had arrived at Sidney in 19 days from Guernsey, with the important intelligence that another revolution in France had restored Louis XVIII to the throne of his ancestors! By what singular means Bonaparte was superceded, we have not been able to learn. Captain M. says, the Printer at Halifax (Mr. Gales) was preparing an Extra Sheet, containing the particulars of the event for publication; and that he could have obtained a copy by waiting about an hour longer, which the tide would not permit him to do. The King of England was living, and in a state of convalescence."
The sch'r Citizen, arrived at New York on Tuesday last, from Gibraltar, brings intelligence that Lord Nelson had cautioned British vessels against proceeding up the Mediterranean, as he was about to bombard Algiers. Mr. Pinckney, American Ambassador at Madrid, had given official information that the terms of quarantine at Cadiz was reduced to fifteen days. Capt. Bainbridge and officers were liberated through the interference of Mr. Gavino, United States Consul. A report was in circulation that the French had imposed an embargo at Leghorn, in February. (N. Y. Mer. Adv.)
We take the following extracts from a new work lately received from England, the production of Mr. Thomas Holcroft, the Dramatist, of which we have had but a cursory glance. It is entitled, "Travels from Hamburg through Westphalia, Holland, and the Netherlands to Paris."
OF BONAPARTE. "Concerning the religious opinions of Bonaparte, it is said, no man can form any sound judgment from his discourse: he might at one moment be imagined an infidel, at another a deist, and the next, perhaps, a christian. He is said to have told Dupuis, that he did not believe such a man as Jesus Christ ever existed. To Monge, an avowed infidel, who was expressing his disbelief of eternal punishments, the Consul said, after reciting the names of various great men who had believed in the christian religion, and examples of others who in their last moments had changed their opinions from fear, that he, Monge, would certainly die a true believer. He appears to be rather a fatalist than a necessarian; for he believes, or affects to believe, in his favourable destiny. To contemplate greatness, to study till we understand it, and when circumstances agree, to make it our model, can only be blamed when greatness is sullied by vice; but to become its professed ape has something in it that shows a want of original power. There are various traits, public and private, that discover Bonaparte to have attempted to copy Alexander, while he was in Egypt, Cæsar, during his Italian campaigns, and Charlemagne, since he has assumed to himself the office and the power of a ruler. Suddenness of action he believes to be his peculiar secret, by which to render success a certainty."
OF MOREAU. "There are many of the enemies of Bonaparte, who have wished to engage Moreau in raising a faction, of which he should be the head, but which he has constantly and firmly refused. He has answered—"If the people are, as you represent, anxious for a change, let them speak and act for themselves, I neither desire the risk, the honors, nor the vices of such an attempt." In every society Moreau is praised, and disadvantageously contrasted with Bonaparte."
Among the heads, etched as studies for young artists, is that of Moreau, in several sizes; and under one of them is inscribed "The head of a man." In the plot to assassinate Bonaparte on the parade, as I have mentioned, there were persons who insinuated that Moreau had taken a part; and rumour said, the First Consul sent for him, and said, "I have heard you have joined assassins: I give no credit to any such tale: I know you to be incapable of a base action: but such is the effervescence of mind among the military, that you will greatly oblige me if you will pass two or three days at your country seat."
With this request Moreau willingly complied; but carefully returned the third day, that no misconstruction by party, might be put on his conduct."
To the Editor of a London Paper.
THE DISTRESS OF THE TIMES.
Never, surely Mr. Editor, was any thing like it; every where we hear complaints, grumblings, murmurings! No money to be had; no credit; no confidence; paper depreciating; no discount; banks breaking; manufactures at a dead stand still; and nothing talked of but ruin, ruin, RUIN!
If I go to eat my chop, I must pay two pence for half a farthing's worth of cheese—Why, landlord, your cheese is very dear—"Yes, Sir, but consider the distress of the times!"—At the coffee house I must pay four pence for a dish of coffee; but then; the distress of the times.
RAVERSE THE PICTURE!

Fifty Dollars Reward.
RAN AWAY from the subscriber, on Monday last, the 7th current, a mulatto man named WILLIS, by trade a carpenter. He is upwards of six feet high, well made and bow legged: had on a coat of grey coating, uncommonly short for him, with a pair of pantaloon of twilled olive coating, a good deal worn and mended, and an osnaburgh shirt; he took no other clothes with him, and will probably be dressed in those above described, altho' he may exchange them to avoid detection. He was seen to pass Jesse Hill's about four miles above the Snotted Tavern, on the night of the 7th inst. on his way I expect to the neighbourhood of Francis Whiting, Esquire, of Fauquier, where he was brought up and lately lived; but I think it not improbable he may endeavour to find his way towards Alexandria or some of the seaport towns in that direction. I am perfectly ignorant of the cause of his desertion, unless he apprehended an intention of sending him to a distant part of the country, as I had not employment for him as a carpenter, and wished to hire him. I will give Thirty Dollars reward for delivering him to me at this place, if taken within 30 miles: Fifty Dollars, should he be taken up in or near Alexandria or George Town and brought home, or a proportionable sum for any distance short of those places.

REANIMATION.
WHEN the most important functions of life are suspended, and those who are invalids by imprudence, inheritance, accident or disease, are tottering upon the brink of the grave, it is not in despair that relief is to be found: There is a medicine which has restored thousands from infirmity and misery to health and happiness, which is
THE AROMATIC LOZENGES OF STEEL.
Since this excellent medicine was first discovered by Dr. Bardwell, several thousand females have experienced its salutary effects; many of whom had been reduced to the brink of the grave having used every remedy recommended as specific in those complaints, and had made every application to the faculty that could be obtained. The following recent case is selected from a numerous list.
From Mrs. Eleanor Wadsworth, Providence, (R. I.)
Sir, WE received yours and with much pleasure comply with your request, as my daughter has certainly received very great benefit from Dr. Bardwell's Aromatic Lozenges of Steel.
In the winter of 1802 my daughter, who is in her 17th year caught a very severe cold, which with the violent fever which accompanied it, confined her to her room upwards of four months; during this period we paid for Doctors bills and consultations 150 dollars. The fever left her in the most deplorable, and debilitated state with hardly any use of her limbs, so that we were obliged to carry her from the bed to the chair. Being strongly persuaded by the Doctor we went to Bails-Town Springs and stayed the season, and thought she gained considerable strength by the use of the waters; but by the fatigue of the passage (having very rough weather) she became as weak and her cough much worse than before. During the last winter her whole nervous system has been so irritable, and her spirits so low and depressed, that death to her was desirable. In the latter end of January we saw an Advertisement recommending the Lozenges of Steel for similar complaints, we immediately purchased a packet of them, and before the whole of them were taken, they evidently produced a change in her system, which no medicine before had been able to effect, we sent for two more packets. It is now fourteen days since she began to mend; she has laid aside her crutches, has been twice on horse back, and if the weather should prove favorable we intend coming to Peekskill early in April to stop until we go to Bails-Town Springs; from there we will send you our address, where with pleasure we will satisfy any enquiries.
Price one Dollar per Packet.
Particular directions for their use are sealed up with each but as the great benefit to be derived from them can only be formed by having them genuine, the public are requested to observe that the name of Thomas Stokes & Co. are affixed to each packet, without which mark of authenticity they are not genuine.
The Lozenges of Steel,
are only to be had, in Alexandria, of Messrs. R. & J. GRAY, WHO HAVE ALSO ON HAND,
A SUPPLY OF Family & Patent Medicines,
CONSISTING OF— Chamblant's Antiphlogistic Lozenges; Ague and Fever Drops; Antibilious Pills; Anodyne Essence for Head Aches; Reanimating Solar Tincture; Dr. Bardwell's genuine Eye Water; Atkinson's Essence of Mustard; Scotch Ointment for the Itch; Tooth Ach Drops; Aromatic Lozenges; Essence of the Woods, &c. &c.
Dr. Hunter's genuine Antibilious Pills,
For the prevention and cure of Yellow, Bilious and Putrid Fevers.
Every experienced physician knows what dangerous disorders arise from a redundancy of bile in the habit; however salutary a due secretion of this fluid may be, yet a diffusion of it in the circulation is known, from its putrefactant qualities, to bring on sudden and fatal fevers. The unparalleled success of Dr. Hunter's Antibilious Pills, in curing, and particularly in preventing this dreadful disease, is universally known in the islands, and has induced the proprietor to appoint agents in all the mercantile towns in the United States, for the accommodation of the public. The Antibilious Pills are therefore, in an especial manner, recommended as a preventative, deserving the notice of all persons going to the West Indies, or any of those places infected with these fevers. Dr. Hunter has every possible reason, that can result from long and extensive experience, for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every fourteen days, during the prevalence of our fall fevers, will prove an infallible preventative, and that, if taken in the early stages of these fevers, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health, and frequently in cases esteemed desperate and beyond the power of common remedies.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, may be used with safety by persons in every situation and of every age.
In fishy times and places a dose should be taken once a fortnight, and if there is reason to apprehend personal danger, once a week.
Observe that the signatures of Messrs. Thos. Stokes and Co. are affixed to each box, without which mark of authenticity they are not genuine.
Dr. Atkinson's genuine Essence of Mustard.
Rheumatism in every stage, instantly submits to its penetrating powers, which has succeeded in curing the most desperate cases of rheumatism, gout, lumbago, sciatica, rheumatoid, palsy and complaints of the stomach, after various medicines have proved ineffectual. It is prepared in pills, and also in a fluid state. The pills are particularly serviceable in flatulences and indigestion, and by their salutary operation, promote perspiration, and gradually undermine the most obstinate rheumatism; and, at the same time, invigorate the debilitated constitution. The fluid essence is a remarkable active embrocation, necessarily used with the pills, and as generally excites a tingling sensation; it removes the causes of pain, by bringing on a circulation in the parts affected; by this means, frozen limbs, the arms sprains and bruises, old strains and aneurysms, are generally cured by a few applications. The genuine is distinguished from counterfeits, by the signature of Thomas Stokes and Co. being affixed to each bottle; without which mark of authenticity, none are genuine.
The genuine Scotch Itch Ointment.
The only medicine that cures this disagreeable disease, by one application, so many thousands having experienced its efficacy; it is unnecessary to add any more arguments in its favor, but to caution the public that the name Thomas Stokes and Co. is affixed to each box, without this mark of authenticity, none are genuine.
Dr. Bardwell's genuine Eye Water.
A sovereign remedy for all diseases of the Eyes; speedily removes inflammation, dimness, itching, and films it never fails to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the measles, small-pox, and fever; and is an unparalleled strengthener of a weak sight.
Dr. Hunter's genuine Antibilious Pills.
An agreeable and certain preventative of the predisposition to inflammatory and malignant fever, which prevails at particular seasons of the year. The rapid and increasing demand from every part of the United States, and the West India islands, is the best evidence of their superior excellence.
CHAMBAUD'S Antiphlogistic Lozenges.
A radical cure for coughs, colds, asthma and consumption, difficulty of breathing, &c. &c.
Mr. CHAMBAUD, the sole proprietor of this medicine, has the satisfaction to announce that they have been the means of relieving many persons in a most precarious state of health. In common colds this medicine produces so salutary a perspiration that they generally are eradicated in a few hours. Coughing, being prolonged by that convulsive symptom termed the tickling in the throat, it shortens its duration by promoting sleep and strengthening the constitution. Pulmonary complaints, affecting the breast and lungs; those affected with them experience an almost immediate relief. Asthma and confined consumptions have repeatedly been eradicated by them. Infants in the hooping cough, and women during pregnancy, may take them without the least fear of danger, and with the greatest expectation of relief, nor can it be administered at an improper season.
Dr. BARDWELL'S Anodyne Essence, for all kinds of Head Aches.
THE renowned virtues of the Anodyne essence, is now so generally known, that it is no presumption in the Proprietor, to say, that Head Aches, arising from whatever cause, or however violent, instantly submit to its penetrating powers. This invaluable Anodyne, has frequently succeeded after the best advice, and every other remedy had failed; by its salutary operation, it insensibly promotes circulation and perspiration, and thereby prevents the return of the most obstinate periodical head aches.
SPRING PHYSIC.
DR. HUNTER'S Anti-Bilious Pills are unquestionably proved by ample experience to be the most effectual remedy, at the same time the most innocent, pleasant, and convenient medicine for the cure of scurvy, scorbutic eruptions, leprosy, and other disorders originating from a corruptive state of the blood. The remarkable cure of Mr. Ellison, of Albany, who had been twelve years tormented with a most distressing scorbutic complaint, as also that of Thomas Johnson, a labouring man, in the service of Mr. Van Rensselaer, who was afflicted with a most horrid leprosy, must have convinced every one who has read the particulars of these cases, besides which, a variety of proofs of their efficacy, authenticated by persons of character and respectability are open to the examination of every inquirer. These must naturally be supposed to have their due weight, and supercede the necessity of any further comment from the Proprietor, yet, he presumes to assert, that the real merits of this vegetable preparation will, on a fair trial, plead more forcible its own recommendation than any thing which can be said of it.
Where also may be had,
Atkinson's Worm destroying Lozenges.—These Lozenges not only destroy worms where they exist, but effectually prevent their return. Those families who have followed Dr. Atkinson's advice, and used them in the Spring and Fall among their children, as their common physic, have now the happiness to find those children, which appeared sickly and consumptive, in the bloom of health, being entirely delivered from those dreadful vermin.
Sparta, Mount Pleasant, March 27, 1803.
We hereby certify, that our daughter, about 4 years of age, has been very unwell and in a bad state of health for these last two years. We always suspected that she had worms, and had given her several worm medicines, without any good effect, so that we despaired raising her till of late. Hearing of some surprising cures being performed by Atkinson's worm destroying Lozenges, we purchased a packet of them, and administered them according to the directions. The first dose brought away only one worm, and with it a quantity of slimy, offensive matter; the second brought away four monstrous thick worms nearly half a yard in length; and the third dose, a large quantity of a slimy, offensive matter. The vomiting and purging, with which she was frequently troubled have ceased—her appetite has become regular, and has over since enjoyed a perfect state of health, for which we are entirely indebted to this excellent medicine.
DR. BARDWELL'S
Re-animating Solar Tincture, or Pabulum of Life. Of the cure of Consumption and Asthma, Disorders in the Stomach and Bowels, Convulsions, Cholick and Diastery.
Cautious investigation, and attentive enquiry into the nature and laws of the animal economy, having long confirmed an opinion in the mind of the inventor, that all the maladies abovenominated, derive their origin from the same cause, indirect debility, or consequent weakness, the analogy of their source, by a natural inference suggested the idea of their removal by the same means; the result was the discovery of the Re-animating Solar Tincture, which after having been employed in thousands of instances, with the most unexampled and astonishing success, has obtained the warmest approbation of characters of the first respectability, both in and out of the profession; the proprietor can confidently recommend it as one of the most certain, efficacious, and pleasant remedies ever discovered by man or offered to the world.
Price 1 dollar, and 1 dol. and 50 cents per bottle. The large bottle contains nearly two of the small. Copious Directions for their use are sealed up with each bottle.
Dr. Stoughton's Cordial Bitters, faithfully prepared at the original warehouse, London.
This incomparable medicine has stood the test of universal approbation in Europe for near an hundred years, in the cure and prevention of,
Loss of appetite, bad digestion, windy cholick, urfets, hysterick vapours, faintness and tremblings, ague and fever, depressed spirits, foul breath, worms in children's scurvy, observations or stoppages, bilious fevers, sick fits, &c. &c.
These Bitters being now generally used in taverns and public places, and universally acknowledged by all who have tried their effects, to be far superior to the compositions formerly imposed in imitation thereof; the proprietor has reduced the price to those who purchase largely above fifty per cent. Directions will be pasted on the Bottles, and which will be also sealed, in order to detect counterfeits and upstart pretenders, who will all tell you, they make the genuine Stoughton's Bitters; and in order to impose their trash on the public, they sometimes copy a part of the true advertisement and directions.
Specific Drops for Deafness.
FOR many years have these drops been used with amazing success, in DEAFNESS & HARDNESS of HEARING. Those who are unacquainted with the great relief afforded by this valuable medicine, are earnestly recommended to try it. Few are the cases in which it has not been of great service, and very often perfected a complete cure.
Copious directions for the use of the Specific Drops for Deafness are sealed up with each bottle. Price one dollar.
