ADDRESSED TO MISS *****
And didst thou go my LUCY, say, As Hebe fair, as Hebe gay, And range the flow'ry valley thro' To treasure MAY's ambrosial dew? But wait thou not, dear girl, aware, Thy face would please without that care? The charms that heav'n did there implant, Can patches, paint, nor wathes want; Let such with those employ the hour, Who feign would charm without the pow'r; Whose silly, trifling arts deny, That beauty's soul dwell in the eye. And tho' thy fair, thy lily cheek, Does not the rose's blush bespeak; The heaven created sentiment, That's over all so sweetly blent, Doth amply for its loss repay, And makes thee please yet more than MAY. Tho' this like flattery may appear, Thou wilt not deem me insincere, Nor yet tho' simply drest refuse, The lowly offering of the MUSE. Nor think me, LUCY, wrapt in gloom, When I remind thee of the tomb; For tho' each morn appears serene, Nor cloud obscures the ev'ning scene; Tho' thou on down embraceth sleep, While friends around their Vigils keep; Nor ranking care thy bosom knows, A bosom pure as aspens snows; Tho' playful mirth with sylph-like pow'r, Has wove her airy, roseate bow'r, Where thou mayst sport away the day, In waking visions sweetly gay; Thy heart to joy responsive beat, No cruel thorns to pierce thy feet; Where innocence presides the queen, All peaceful like her and serene; Tho, MAY whose ev'ry vestment's grace, Whose gay, whose flow'ry steps we trace, By garlands wildly strew'd around, But twelve times has thy temples crown'd, The hours will soon be flitting by, When thou, my lovely girl, must die; When thou wilt join thy native dust, For die, my LUCY knows we must; The speaking eye, its magic pow'r, Will nought avail in the sad hour, When feeble pulse, and trembling breath, Proclaims the near approach of death. Oh! then, let sweet religion bind, Make it the pole star of thy mind; Tho' sorrows as high mountains rise, And floods of tears bedew thy eyes, 'Twill o'er thy soul diffuse a calm, And prove a sure, a sovereign balm; Nor think thou, LUCY, art too young, For prayer becomes the infant tongue; 'Twill make thee fear, and shrink from sin, And purify the part within. From truth's mild dictates never stray, She'll cheer the dark, the dubious way, That may be thine dear girl, to prove, And fit thee for the world above; And will thy dying couch attend, While sister seraphs o'er thee bend; When death's cold hand has clos'd thy eyes, Will waft thy spirit to the skies. MIRA.

FROM THE GAZ. OF THE U. STATES.
Mr. Bronson,
As I was on my return home thro' the state of Vermont to this city, I lodg- ed at the house of a gentleman who put into my hands your paper containing the Vi- sion of Nathan Ben Ashur.* At the first view I supposed it was the invention of some writer, who wished well to the fe- deral interest; but was agreeably surprised when the gentleman informed me the re- lation was true, and that the venerable recluse resided within a few miles of his house.
You will suppose that being on the spot, and in the neighborhood of this sin- gular person, an interview with him would be very desirable; and the more so, as the gentleman was well acquainted with him, and politely offered his carriage: an offer I felt not the least inclination to reject: We set off about nine o'clock, and reach- ed the hermit's cave about ten; when we came to the avenue that opened upon the humble habitation of this mysterious won- derful man, every light reflection was put to flight; the romantic appearance of the place, and the expected interview, natu- rally led to serious contemplation. But how was I struck, when the hoary sage made his appearance! His whole figure was the most interesting I ever saw; and gave me a lively idea of the ancient patri- archs in the early ages of the world. With
* Vision, here alluded to, was published in the Alexandria Advertiser some time ago.
a dignified air, that exceeded all forms of breeding, and a most benign countenance, he welcomed us to his little mansion—my friend introduced me as a young man, tra- velling in pursuit of knowledge: he gave me a short but penetrating glance, and de- sired us to be seated. There was a French Telemachus lying upon a square block of wood, which I ventured to look into— “Ah!” said he, “had the kings of France been governed by the principles re- commended by the Archbishop of Cam- bray, that unhappy country would have escaped the dreadful convulsions, and bloody scenes it hath so recently experi- enced! It has now become the hot bed of vice!—the limbeck of the devil, from whence have issued those poisoned streams of infidelity and sedition, (now understood to be the leading principles of democracy) which like a leprosy hath overspread the fairest portion of Europe, and are extend- ing their cursed influence over this once happy country—sapping the great interests of society, and destroying domestic felicity by corrupting the youth with the wild and foolish doctrine of liberty & equality; teaching them, that the religion of their fathers was all priestcraft: thus are they prepared to gratify without restraint, their unruly passions.
Hence arises disobedience to parents ne- glect of religion, and sedition and opposi- tion to all good government! But be not discouraged, my son; for although dark clouds now overspread our political hori- zon, they will soon be dissipated by the rays of truth. The cobweb veil that now envelopes the demagogues of the present day will be rent asunder, and the people will see all their boasted professions of pa- triotism, will finally center in the grati- fication of their own ambition! then shall they be hurled from their seats, as stones are hurled from a sling.”
He then put into my hands another Vi- sion which for its interesting import de- serves a place in your paper and which I shall transcribe. The original I preserve with as much care as the devotee the relict of a favourite Saint, and however divers- ified my future life may be! Shall always consider the interview with him as one of the greatest felicities of my life and remem- ber with pleasure, to the last of thy days, the venerable Hermit of the Mountain.
EMANUEL C. MILBOURNE.
NEW-YORK, May 15.
Last evening arrived at this port the brig Hope, captain Lee, in 13 days from Cape-Francois, after being detained there upwards of two months. Captain Lee in- forms us, that two days previous to his leaving Cape-Francois an interview took place at Haut-de-Cap (a village at the distance of about three miles from the Cape) between the Commander in Chief, Le Clerc, and General Christophe; but that the result of the conference had not been officially made known. The most pleasing conclusions were, however, drawn on the subject; and there existed hardly a doubt, but that Christophe had negotiat- ed terms for himself and his army, as he was to be in the Cape on the day the Hope failed, and preparations were making to receive and entertain him in a manner suit- able to his rank by the General of the northern division, Hardy, with whom Christophe was that day to dine.
Various speculations were abroad as to the probability of Toussaint's being a par- ty to the arrangements of Christophe.— Those best acquainted with the character of the latter were firmly of opinion that he would not conclude any agreement to which his Chief was not a party: and this opinion was strengthened by the pub- licity and form of the audience at Haut- de-Cap. Christophe refused to come with- in the French lines until a white officer of equal rank was sent as a hostage: The meeting was unlike that of a traitor steal- ing an opportunity to betray his trust.
These circumstances have diffused a ge- neral joy amongst the inhabitants of Cape- town, who begin to look forward to the time when their troubles will be termi- nated.
No material progress had been made in rebuilding the town when capt. Lee fail- ed; nor had any change for the better tak- en place in the treatment received by the Americans from the various departments of government through which they were un- der the necessity of doing business. Every procrastination continued to be practised, nor was it possible to effect the least dis- patch unbrided. Government had discon- tinued the practice of putting in a state of requisition all the articles of provision that had lately arrived, the necessity for that
measure having ceased. An additional duty of ten per cent. making in the whole 20 per cent. had been laid on all descrip- tions of dry goods not the manufacture of France, or not imported in French bot- toms.
Capt. Rogers and capt. Davidson re- mained in close confinement in a dungeon, on the common gaol allowance.
The ship Ann, of N. York, was pub- licly condemned by beat of drum on the morning of the 17th of April.
Extract of a letter from Cape Francois, dat- ed April 27th, to a merchant in this city, received by the brig Hope, in 13 days.
“Christophe, the black general, has surrendered himself to general Le Clerc; and has promised that all the negroes, who left their respective plantations, shall im- mediately return. Commercial business is getting a little better than when I last wrote to you.”

NORFOLK, May 13.
Captain Calvert, arrived yesterday from Falmouth, Jamaica, informs that in con- sequence of the arrival there of a French Commissary from Cape Francois, request- ing a supply of provisions, an embargo was on the 15th April laid on all kinds of pro- visions in the island; that on the 12th A- pril an order was issued to prohibit all for- eign vessels (the Americans excepted) from clearing out with any kind of cargo on board; that a few days before capt. C. failed, a French frigate arrived from the Cape, requesting a supply of troops—That Toussaint had also informed the governor of Jamaica, that if he sent any troops, they would be liable to meet the same fate with the French. The above information may be relied on, as he received it from a very respectable merchant at Falmouth.
Arrived, sch'r Josiah Parker, captain Calvert, from Falmouth, Jamaica. Left there the sch'r N. S. de la Merced, capt. Griffiths, to sail for the continent in a few days. Also the sch'r Eagle, capt. Troup, to sail in 5 days for New-York. On the 3d inst. off the Gulf of Florida, fell in with seven Spanish galleons, under convoy of a 74, bound to Spain.

Arrived, the sch'r Hero, capt. Burman, from Tobago.
Authentic particulars of the late intended Insurrection of the NEGROES.
We deemed it prudent heretofore to be silent on this interesting subject, in order that a more complete discovery of the me- ditated plot might be made: but, as it is generally believed that it has been disco- vered in its commencement, silence is con- sidered no longer necessary; we therefore lay before our readers such facts as we have been able to collect from sources deemed authentic, and from our own knowledge.
For some months past information from various quarters had been conveyed to the civil and military authorities of the bo- rough, that an insurrection was in agita- tion, and that it was to take place during the Easter Holidays. All accounts agreed in stating, that the signal of revolt was to be given by setting fire to this town!— The various informations received, did not, however, appear sufficiently well founded to apprehend any of those suspect- ed. Strong patrols were ordered to rein- force the ordinary watch, and every pre- caution taken to guard against mischief.
On the Thursday before Easter Mon- day, a negro fellow was taken up (for want of having a pass) on his way from Princess Anne to this town, who gave information that three negroes (two of whom are now under sentence of death, the other has not been as yet tried) had solicited him to join in setting the town on fire on Easter Mon- day night. Nothing could be more clear and positive than his testimony. Several were named by the above three as being al- so concerned, and taken up; but as no proof, but hearsay evidence, appearing a- gainst them they have been discharged.
The fate of the unfortunate wretches, (negroes Jeremiah and Ned) who are to be executed to-morrow, will be a sufficient warning to the rest of those deluded peo- ple, who, upon a moments reflection, must be satisfied, that from the military strength of this place, all their wicked attempts must end in their own ruin.
Letters from Halifax and Charlotte counties, (N. C.) inform, that nightly meetings were very general among the negroes in the above counties—that quan- tities of arms and ammunition have been found concealed—that numbers of the ring leaders have been taken up, seven of whom have been sentenced to death, and imme- diate execution: Throughout the whole of the state of North Carolina (particularly the lower counties) insurrection among

those miscreants seem to have been very general; which leaves us no room to doubt that a horrid massacre of the whites was intended by the negroes of this and the adjoining states.
Alexandria Advertiser.
TUESDAY, MAY 18.
Arrived this morning, brig Union, captain Woodhouse, 8 weeks from London—dry goods—Jas. Wilson, & others.
Every day's experience shews us how little regard the French Republicans pay to American rights. Full of professions of respect for the rights of neutral nations —clamorous for the liberty of commerce —denouncing on every occasion, the “tyranny of the English” on the ocean; yet no sooner do they, by the indulgence of G. Britain, obtain a little “brief authority” as to, than they abuse it in the most wanton manner. Our ships they seize and detain; their cargoes they take at their own price, to be paid for in the time and manner they please; our sailors they put in requisition , without allowing them the smallest compensation; their places are filled by French soldiers, who are supplied with American provisions free of all cost; and when it suits a French general to suspect an American citizen of exhibiting a true representation of French atrocity to the American public, this citizen, unheard, unnoticed, is, by the arbitrary arrest of a French officer, to be doomed to the lonely horrors of a damp and cheerless dungeon.
Is there an American, at least a federal American, whose cheek is not suffused with the blush of indignation, in hearing of the fate of Capt. Rogers, and of other American sufferers at the Cape? Yet to these and to ten thousand other and more degrading insults will the present administration submit, lest they should be obliged to depart from their economical system, and lose their popularity by imposing a tax to protect their country from insult and injury. The French have never wanted sagacity to discern what nations they could plunder with impunity, and which it is their interest to treat with respect and attention. The only power that has humbled them by great, splendid and repeated triumphs, is the British. Yet when did we hear of their treating an English officer with insult? Or since at peace with England, of seizing the property of her subjects? Certain it is the French government bear us no good will.— We are wealthy and prosperous—they are powerful and in want. Here with them is ample cause of war. Never was a national character so perfectly yet concisely drawn, as theirs in the leading trait of Cataline's as presented us by Salust, “ Alieni appetens, sui profusus ”—greedy of other's prosperity, profuse of their own.” Our duty and interest is therefore to be ever ready for war—It is the only way to secure respect, and to preserve peace.
Com. Adv.
The unwearied industry of the ministerialists in vamping up daily in new forms, the almost exploded tales to which they attribute their success in ousting honest men from office, is a perfectly convincing proof that they are beginning to be aware of their danger from the flood of light which has lately been shed upon the people of this country. The attempts that have been made to expose the misconduct of our present rulers and their adherents, and to explain to the people the conduct of the former administrations, are fast removing the curtain of delusion. The indignation of the deceived and abused citizens is rising against the deceivers who have so long and so impudently traduced the most worthy and respectable of our countrymen; and when the people once begin to reflect, what must be the dispair of the wretches whose labour and delight it is to delude the well-meaning and to asperse the upright?
At the head of the list of unjustly criminated and worthy former officers Mr. Pickering is entitled to stand, as well because of the superior virtue and talents which he possesses, as of the torrent of obloquy which has been directed against him. Every jacobin paper in the Union has rung with charges of his fraudulent conduct; at length, when “the doors of honour and confidence are burst open,” and the sanctuary polluted by an ignoble band, and the Gilese and Nicholsones, and Williamses, and Elmendorfs have been for five months ransacking the records of public transac-
tions; when men like these (doubtless with great grief of heart) declare to Congress that it appears, that Colonel Pickering has applied all the public monies advanced to him to public objects; nay, that he added to these sums nearly fifteen thousand dollars, which he gained on the purchase of bills (and which some honest men might have thought it no very high misdemeanor to add to their private stock) when these men tell congress further, that Colonel Pickering remains charged with two sums of 3,383 dollars 20 cents and 3,289 dollars 50 cents, one erroneously paid, and the other not yet proved to have been received by the officer, part of whose salary it was, from the gentleman to whom it was advanced; when the mighty peculations of Col. Pickering are thus wiped away by his bitterest enemies, by men who had access to every document that could elucidate the subject; by men who, in an official report, made under high responsibility, have shown a spirit of meanness and malignity worthy of a Duane or a Cheetham, what must the people say? Will they not begin to reflect? Will they not feel for an honest old servant thus maligned? Most assuredly, every man who knows the sweet enjoyment of a consciousness of having well served the state, must feel indignant at the base assaults that have been made on the fair fame of so exalted a character.
The care which the republicans (as they falsely call themselves) who framed the report alluded to, have taken to mention those trifling sums above noticed that still remain to Col. Pickering's debt, is charmingly contrasted by the soft and mild kind of a devil-may-care mode with which they notice the delinquency of a pious brother republican, Col. Pickering's predecessor, Citizen Edmund Randolph. It was a bitter dose, but swallow it they must. “A suit not yet decided has been instituted against Mr. Randolph, formerly secretary of state, for a balance unaccounted for by him.” Not another word about it. How concise—how satisfactory! Let any man with the soul of a man compare this with the rest of the report, and then say what such men deserve: let him say whether this ministerial majority of the committee do not evince a regret at pronouncing the acquittal of an upright man, and a desire to screen the conduct of a notorious defaulter. Why (will the question be asked by every reflecting man) are there not some explanations respecting this balance due by Mr. Randolph, when every statement relative to transactions of officers known to be of the constitutional “set” are expatiated upon with such care, with such seeming rapture? Is it still true, that “dog will not eat dog”? The sum surely might have been mentioned. I should be loth to mislead—but I remember well that I heard this balance of Mr. Randolph's stated to be about 60,000 dollars, two or three years ago. If I am wrong, great sage of Clonmel; king of printers and stationers, mighty oracle of wisdom, mirror of truth, set me right! Thou knowest, the sum to a fraction, and “thou risest to be useful.”
But great is the truth, and it will prevail. Members of congress and heads of departments may join with scoundrelly printers to continue the delusion, but it will be vain. The people, I mean the honest, quiet, reflecting portion of the people, see the rapacity with which patriots can scramble for office. They see the boasted disinterestedness of these summer insects in its true colors, and see too, that their regard for the people is of the tongue, and not of the heart. They are beginning to be fatigued with the everlasting repetition of notorious falsehoods, respecting men who served them faithfully. They begin to look for some substantial blessings from the patriotic administration, and find it all delusive—they look for their works, and what a monument do they behold! Taxes taken from luxuries, and the additional burthens, laid on necessaries in times of exigency, continued; a ship of war, and a special messenger sent to carry a letter; the monies appropriated for our own navy expended on a French ship, and French officers receiving their wages out of our treasury; foreigners, some of suspicious, and some of infamous characters, placed in high stations, as if our country could not rely on her own sons; age, services, worth, banished from places of trust to make room for new men; the war-worn soldier robbed of every thing but his crutch and his pension.
O Liberty! O Virtue! O my Country! DECIUS. (Gaz. U. S.)
The following is an extract from a very excellent letter, addressed by the hon. Mr. STRATTON, member of Congress from Virginia, to his constituents.
“The repeal of the Internal Taxes, was likewise a measure which met with my disapprobation. Not, however, because I felt unwilling to relieve the people from their burthens, but because I doubted whether it was safe to dispense with so great a branch of the revenue, and because I believed that if any of the taxes could be repealed, those which fell on the necessaries of life ought to have been preferred. The wise arrangements which had been made by the former administration for the extinguishment of our debt, was performing its operation, and if those plans had not been broken in upon, it was very certain that the debt would be rapidly reduced and eventually discharged; and I thought it was better to retain the taxes until the debt was paid, than to hazard the failure of so desirable an event by reducing the means of accomplishing it. For these reasons I thought that the safer course would have been to have retained all the taxes for the present, under such modifications however, as would have diminished the burthen upon the necessaries of life.”
“But if it was safe to give up a part of the revenue, I was clearly of opinion, that the tax upon brown sugar, coffee, bohea tea, and certain other necessaries of life ought to have been reduced, instead of giving up the tax on carriages, stamps, refined sugar, and the other branches of the internal revenue; and in this opinion I was happy to find myself supported by those gentlemen in Congress whose opinions I most respected; and no exertions were spared, when it was found that the majority in Congress were determined to relinquish a part of the revenue to substitute a reduction of the taxes upon those necessaries of life, in the place of relinquishing altogether the internal revenue; but those exertions did not avail, and entire tax upon brown sugar, coffee, bohea tea, salt, and indeed every other article of import has been retained by the present administration, and a majority of Congress, whilst the tax on carriages, &c. has been relinquished. I make no comment upon this transaction, because it is the province of the people to judge, which course would have best promoted their interest.”

DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obstinate Coughs, Asthma, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and Approaching Consumptions.
To parents who may have children afflicted with the HOOPING COUGH.
This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it is an immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable—the Elixir is so perfectly agreeable and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.
From LUTHER MARTIN, Esq. Attorney General of the State of Maryland.
Gentlemen,
I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir. It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever colds, coughs, or similar complaints have rendered medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with forensis and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir, as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN.
Mr. Abijah Henly, Bridge-Street, Baltimore, was cured by one bottle of Hamilton's Elixir of a very complicated disorder, occasioned by a fever 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—reficence in climates unfavourable to the constitution—the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the unskillful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females, at a certain period of life—bad lyings in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of
  Nervous disorders,  Violent cramps in the stomach and back,    Consumptions,  Indigestion,    Lowness of spirits,  Melancholy,    Loss of appetite,  Gout in the stomach,    Impurity of the blood,  Pains in the limbs,    Hysterical affections,  Relaxations,    Inward weaknesses,  Involuntary emissions,    Seminal weaknesses,  Obligate gleets,    Fluor albus, (or whites)  Impotency, &c. &c.    Barrenness,   
In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impoverishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no nourishment or cordial could repair a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE and EXTRACT OF MUSTARD,
A safe and effectual remedy for gout, rheumatism, palsy, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. And has performed more cures in the above complaints than all the other medicines ever before made public.
From Dr. Weatherburn, Wythe county, Virginia.
Gentlemen,
I purchased at your shop the preparations you call Hamilton's Essence, or Extract of Mustard, which I believe has perfectly removed a chronic rheumatism (of that kind named sciatica, or of the hip joint) under which I had laboured for a long time, and which had baffled every article in the Materia Medica, and every mode of treatment received into practice for the cure of this obstinate disease. If you think this letter useful you are at liberty to make it public.
Yours, &c.
P. WEATHERBURN.
John Hoover, rope-maker, South Second-Street, between Mary and Christian-Streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily maketh oath as follows, namely, that his wife, Mary Hoover, was so severely afflicted with a violent rheumatism, very dangerously situated, the consequence of a severe cold after lying in, as to be confined to her bed for several weeks, and was at length reduced to the melancholy apprehension of remaining a cripple for life, notwithstanding the most respectable medical advice was followed, and every probable remedy attempted: when seeing several cases of cures performed by Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard, they were procured from Mr. Birch, No. 17, South Second-Street. The first application enabled her to walk across the room, and the use of one bottle restored her to her usual state of health and strength. JOHN HOOVER
Sworn and subscribed before Ebenezer Ferguson, 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 from obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever of similar title, so commonly complained of as operating with violence; on the contrary, a particular excellence of this remedy is its being suited to every age and constitution; contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is so mild in its operation that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old, should no worms exist in the body; but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. They are particularly efficacious in carrying off all gross humours and eruptions; feverish and bilious complaints, and are the safest and mildest purgative that can be used on any occasion. Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Teres or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short, flat, white worm, and lastly, the Tania, or tape worm, so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and is full of joints—it is most hurtful, and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted gums—itching in the nose and about the seat—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—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 lowness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms, should have immediate recourse to HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally during the warm season, will effectually prevent the vomiting and purging of children, a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands of the infant part of our cities. It is likewise the mildest and most certain remedy known and has restored to health and strength a great number when in an advanced stage of this fatal complaint. Particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the necessary treatment in such cases.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness; having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
CASES OF CURES.
(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 wasted rapidly, and with that his strength, so that he was unable to attend to any business—when he heard of some excellent cures performed by Hamilton's worm lozenges, he took a large dose, which brought away about FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the possession of Lee & Co.)—but a renewal of his pains soon convinced him that this monstrous reptile had recovered its first vigour—Application was made to Lee & Co. for more of their medicine, with their advice—from which resulted the total expulsion of his formidable enemy, in several pieces, which he supposed to be SIX or EIGHT YARDS more. A few months have since elapsed, and Mr. Fuller is now in perfect health. The above facts are well known to a numerous circle of his neighbours, and himself will gratify any who may wish to make further inquiries on the subject. Although Hamilton's worm lozenges produce such powerful effects, when necessary, yet they are perfectly innocent and mild in their operation on the human body, even taken in large doses, as Mr. Fuller will testify—their particular mildness is abundantly evident in innumerable cures of infants.
Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, York-town, Pennsylvania.
Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOLTHER, minister of the Moravian church, in York-town.
York, January 4th, 1802.
Dear Sir,
Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recommended to me as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms. I procured a box for the use of my family, to try, whether by means of this medicine, I might be enabled to gain a point, which, to accomplish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very restless at night, grew leaner from time to time, in short, he seemed to be in a precarious state of health, which would yield to none of the medicines administered, until I gave him two doses of lozenges, agreeably to the directions, which carried off a substance to all appearance a mere mucus, but upon close inspection quite replete
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.
