Take Notice,
I will sell, in lots from 1 to 30 acres each, a tract of LAND about five miles from town. It begins at top of the Trough Hill, and runs on the top and brow thereof, about one mile; affording many beautiful situations for country seats, having a prospect of the River, and a delightful valley, and several gentlemen's seats between. The height and airyness of this land makes it extremely healthy, and well adapted for the purpose of accommodating the inhabitants of Alexandria with country seats, when either any contagious disorder prevails, or during the violent heats of the summer.
One Lot of which will include about 39 acres, has a two story brick house thereon, and other convenient out houses; a large paled garden, and an orchard containing several hundred Apple and Peach Trees, with Quince, Plumb, Damson and sweet, and Morella Cherries.
Another Lot has a small house and improvements, having an orchard of bearing peach trees, and some cherries. A part payment will be expected in hand, and for the balance, I will take merchandise, or make it agreeable by easy payments, as may suit purchasers. For the other lots I will receive Merchandise for the whole, or in part, and give a long credit for the remainder. As the Turnpike roads is so near to the whole of the land, it becomes thereby much more desirable to the inhabitants of the town, affording so agreeable a communication. As it is certain that places in the vicinity of Alexandria, have so many natural and desirable advantages, it is expected that a quick disposal of the whole will take place. Any gentleman wishing to have the choice, by information, I will attend. Joseph Bushby and R. Kerby, living on the land will shew the same. The two improved places may be entered upon immediately.
Wm. BUSHBY.
The sale advertised to take place this day is postponed to the first Saturday in October next.

NATURAL RIGHTS.
No. II.
THE philosophers of the shambles in France, when trade was brisk with them, were accustomed, in order to render their blood and offal palatable, to season it now and then with a spice of hot metaphysical matter, made as unintelligible as possible, but ending in some general conclusion favourable to themselves, and fortified with the authority of some celebrated writer. The fraud of this jargon passed undetected, because there were but few who were capable of discovering the fallacy of an abstract deduction, and those few regarded their heads too much, to hazard the experiment of refuting them. Robespierre with the Guillotine in one hand, and with Citizen Legendre, Butcher, and Legislator and J. J. Rousseau in the other, was more than a match for all the wise and honest men in France.
The same unfair, disingenuous stratagem is playing off in these Golden Days of democracy in America. The disciples of Paine and Palmer, affect to be the disciples of Locke and Hooker; and the advocates of the Rights of Man, to be the advocates of Right Reason. They make up a hotch-potch of Rights as they call them, and stamp it with the forged, abused seals of two of the greatest and best men that ever existed.
We take it for granted that when in political discussion, men talk of Rights, they mean those rights which practically enter into human affairs, and belong to man in a state of society: not those Rights which belong to him in a state of nature, (by which state of nature we mean man in a rude state of uncultivated nature, or as it is called, the savage ( a ) state) and still less can they mean that abstract, metaphysical notion, which those who chatter about it, not only cannot define, but cannot possibly understand. To what end should we discuss the Rights of Man in a state of nature, when we are not, and it is to be presumed hope not, ever to be in that state? The citizens of the United States are not savages yet . To what end discuss a metaphysical abstract notion which never can enter into human affairs?
The writer to whom we allude as quoting Locke, certainly either does not understand that great man, or means unfairly. We say unfairly, for he must either mean, (if indeed he means any thing) to inculcate principles which are peculiar, and applicable only to a state of nature, (for it is to that alone Mr. Locke applies the part which that writer has quoted) and by that means to bring down the American mind to a familiarity with savage life ; or he must mean to impose upon the people as the doctrines of Mr. Locke applicable to associated man, what Mr. Locke himself has applied only to man in a state of nature, and which, as we shall shew, he completely distinguishes from that which he applies to man in a civilized state, and which alone is practicable among us. Though the writer may not be deeply versed in " deductions of abstract reasoning ," and was therefore right in declining it, as he says, in favor of authority, still he had eyes to see the words he has quoted, and therefore must have seen that the chapter from which he has taken his quotation, the very first words of which too, by the bye, he has transcribed, has this head to it—" Of the State of Nature ." He cannot therefore plead oversight in his defence; but is guilty of intending an uncandid statement.
Mr. Locke has given to the work from which the writer has cited so indiscreetly, the title, " An Essay concerning the True Original Extent and End of Civil Government ." And he begins by tracing the first rudiments of government in that justice which nature dictates to man in an uncivilized state; and says, that " there ," that is to say, " in a state of nature, they are in a state of perfect freedom ." Well! so are the beasts of the forest; so are the shoals of fish that stupidly swim into the fisherman's net; so are the mosquitoes which glut in human blood. But Mr. Locke in tracing the progress of Reason under the spur of necessity, states, (paragraph 8,) One man comes by a power over another, to punish the invasion of his right. Afterwards, (paragraph 13)
(a) SAUVAGE. — Se dit de certains peuples qui vivent ordinairement dans les bois, presque sans religion, sans loi, sans habitation fixe. — Dictionnaire de l'Academie Francaise.
he states that " civil government is the proper remedy for the inconveniences of the state of nature ," which must be great, says he, " where men may be judges in their own case, since it is easy to be imagined that he who was so unjust as to do his brother an injury, will scarcely be so just as to condemn himself for it ."
Mr. Locke then traces the progress of society through the first acquisitions up to the confirmation of property. He says that it is the taking any part of what is common, and removing it out of the state nature leaves it which begins the property; without which the common would be of no use: this property he confines in the first instance in a state of nature to what the person can make use of to advantage before it spoils. And as God commanded labour and made it necessary to man, so much land as a man tills, plants, improves, cultivates and can use the product of, so much is his property. " God commanded ," says he, " and man's wants forced him to labour . That was his property which could not be taken from him wherever he had fixed. And hence subduing and cultivating the earth and having dominion, we see are joined together. — The one gave title to the other. So that God by commanding to subdue gave authority so far to appropriate: And the condition of human life, which requires labour and materials to work on, necessarily introduces private possession." — Chap. 5. Part. 35.
He then goes on to state that the extent of property, is by nature bounded by men's labour. As soon as metals (money) were considered as valuable, and a small piece of gold came to pass for the mark of an equal value of a large quantity of the produce of labour, then whatever superfluity a man's labour could yield him over and above his own necessary consumption, became his property by exchange for metal, to be disposed of at his pleasure, and thus even in a state of nature, that bugbear in the eye of Jacobins, the Right of accumulating property, is completely justified. These are Mr. Locke's words—" But since gold and silver being little useful to the life of man in proportion to food, raiment, and carriage, has its value only from the consent of men, whereof labour yet makes in a great part the measure, it is plain that men have agreed to a disproportionate and unequal possession of the earth ." So much for equal Rights in property.
Having conducted man in the progress of his rights through a state of nature, Mr. Locke comes to political or civil society , the great end of all; of which every thing antecedent is to be considered the basis; he says, " God having made man such a creature, that in his own judgment it was not good for him to be alone, put him under strong obligations of necessity, convenience, and inclination to drive him into society, as well as fitted him with understanding and language to contrive and enjoy it ." He then proceeds to shew the expediency of marriage—thus marking out and establishing the necessity of those two great and fundamental sources of society and government— Property and Marriage .
He then proceeds to shew how individual right necessarily merges at last in society. " But, says he, because no political society can be, nor subsist without having in itself the power to preserve the property and in order thereunto punish the offences of all those of that society, where every one of the members hath quit-ted this natural power, and resigned it up into the hands of the Community, in all cases that excludes him not, from appealing for protection to the law established by it. And thus all private judgment of every particular member being excluded, the Community comes to be umpire by settled standing rules, indifferent and the same to all parties ."
The writer finding Hooker quoted by Locke, and resolving to kill two birds with one stone, has quoted him also. What he can take by it let him have! Hooker was a Divine merely, and Mr. Locke's quoting him is a proof (if it required proof) that he is at all the time speaking of moral equality, which that most admirable pious man Hooker uses as an incentive to benevolence between man and man, or as he says himself a natural inducement to love others no less than themselves.
It is truly wonderful how it should escape the writer that in a sentence which he himself has quoted, there is enough to
shew that this was all Mr. Locke thought of. " There being nothing more evident says he, than that creatures of the same species and rank, promiscuously born to all the advantages of nature, and the use of the same faculties, should always be equal one amongst another without subordination or subjection, unless the Lord and manifest declaration of his will set one above another, and confer on him, by an evident and clear appointment, an undoubted right to dominion !"
Now nothing can be more clear than that men are not born with the same advantages. And idiot is not born with the same advantages as a man of profound sagacity; a cripple or a hunchback, as a man of robust body and limbs, and of a well symmetrized shape; a coward as a brave man; or a sickly man as one of a vigorous constitution. The equality therefore to which he alludes is moral equality, just as human laws protect alike the life and limb and property, and rights the most stupid, and most weak, and the most worthless; and of the wisest, the strongest; and the best. But as to practical equality, or as he says the right to dominion, (which means the right to power over of any kind) he makes that depend upon " a manifest declaration of God's will by an evident and clear appointment ."
Now it is obvious that Mr. Locke here meant an exception, and that that exception is the manifested will of God. But how? how manifested? Mr. Locke, surely, was not weak enough to mean nothing! still less was he weak enough to enter into that filthy froth, that beastly detestable nonsense, the divine right of Sir Robert Filmer , against, whom by the bye Mr. Locke wrote that very essay. No, certainly not! He meant the will of God manifested in superior powers, and talents, and in his own bounteous gifts conferring an evident and clear appointment, an undoubted right to dominion. And as sure as wisdom, sagacity, genius, and their progeny knowledge must take the lead of folly, imbecility, and ignorance, & strength; whether mental or bodily overpower weakness; so sure has " the great Disposer ," by giving to men unequal portions of these, ordained an inequality of condition in this life. In the works of infinite wisdom there can be nothing vain or unproductive, nothing contradictory. The omnipotent and omnipotent creator who has, for purposes known only to himself, made us what we are, has thought fit to dispense his gifts very unequally in the natural conformation of man. Those unequal conditions, and the indication and evidence of his will that inequality is necessary. He saw that it was right, or he would not have made that distribution.
Whatever the peevish, moody, insolent nature of man, may at times urge him to say or to think it is not only our duty to acquiesce in it cheerfully, but it is folly to rebel against it. Intellect , which constitutes the superiority of human creatures over brutes, and makes man Lord of the earth, constitutes also the distinction between man and man, by giving one a natural superiority over the other, which, in time, marches forward to its destination, and obtains practical superiority, or as Mr. Locke calls it dominion. (b) And the Almighty in doing so, has proclaimed in a voice too loud not to be heard by every ear, that so far from making or intending us to be naturally equal, he has so deeply sown in common nature the principles of disparity, and so unalterably constituted us in that respect that equality is the thing of all others the most unattainable by man.
(b) " Dominion ." — Mr. Locke uses this word in the sense of power, or possession of any kind.
BALTIMORE, Sept. 10.
The schr. Pomona, Watts, of Baltimore, to sail for N. Carolina in two days; and the sloop Diana, Lewis, for Alexandria in 3 days, were left at Guadalupe on the 4th of August last.
Arrived brig Thomas Jefferson, capt. Mallow, from St. Bartholomews. Left the following vessels: brig Active, capt. Teppan, of Newburyport; sloop Mary, Martin, of Providence.
The above two vessels sailed from Guadalupe on the 13th of August bound home with cargoes of sugar, coffee and molasses. The day after they left Guadalupe they were taken by the man of war's tender, the schr. St. Lucia, captain Shipley—he took out their mates and both their crews and ordered them for Nevis,

there to be overhauled, suspecting their having French property on board—nothing was done with them when capt. Mal- low left there—but I have since understood that the commander in chief at Antigua, had ordered them to be released, and fur- ther, that he would allow no court of the admiralty in that island.
Left at St. Bartholomews the 25th August; brig Ocean, capt. Roach, of and for Portland to sail in two days; schooner Argus, Jordan, of and for Ox- ford, in 10 days; Roger Nellin, Allen, of and for Providence same day; schrs. Hope, Tailor, of and for Philadelphia in 4 or 5 days; Little John, of Norfolk for Nevis in 5 days, on freight; sloops Sally of Providence, captain Hunt to sail in about 15 days; William of Hampton, capt. Oldner for Turks Island. On the 13th of August, there was a hard wind from the S. E. which has done some da- mage amongst the shipping. In Deme- rara 7 sail were drove on shore, but one American that happens to be captain Langford, of the ship Margaret of Balti- more, ship lost, part of the cargo saved. in St. Kitts, a schooner belonging to North Carolina, and a sloop belonging to Connecticut, captain Williams. I did not learn either of the vessels names, nor yet the captain of the schooner, but I was informed that they had part of their home- ward bound cargo on board—no lives lost.
In lat. 27 40, long. 66, spoke the sloop Matilda, of Hartford from New London, out 13 days bound to Jamaica. In lat. 33 16, long. 70 50, was boarded by the Leander, English, fifty gun ship & treat- ed politely.
Snow Truxton, Johnson, from New York.
Schr. Harmony, capt. Trant of New York, from St. Jago de Cuba. Left one or two American vessels at St. Jago, names unknown. The Harmony, took her cargo in at Jeremie, and was compelled to land 70 of the inhabitants of that place at St. Jago.
September 11.
Brig Molly, capt. Salisbury, from St. Thomas.
The brig Two Friends, capt. Williams; sailed 2 days before the Molly, for Balti- more. Left there schr. Chance, capt. Smith of Baltimore. The schr. Tartar, capt. Glavery, touched at St. Thomas on the 21st of August, for water and pro- visions out 33 day from Baltimore bound to Curacao.
Also, the brig Philip, Martin, from Antigua.
August 30, in lat. 31, 39, long. 73, spoke the brig Dove, captain Porter, of Norwich, from New Orleans bound to Martinique, out 24 days. September 1, was boarded by the British ship of war Leander, and treated politely. The Phi- lip was ordered from Martinique by the British ship Emerald.
Also, and fired a salute, the French frigate Pursuivant, with the loss of her main and mizen masts, in a gale on the 1st instant off Cape Henry, put in to re- pair.
Also, schooner Atalanta, Crocker, from Edenton.
By capt C. we learn that the severest gale was experienced on the night of the 31st of Aug. recollected since August, 1795, the wind to the eastward, which did a great deal of damage to the country and parti- cularly shipping.
The schooner Coquette, Martin, of Baltimore, from Cape Francois, with pas- sengers, has been totally lost on Cedar Island, to the south of Ocracoke, four of the passengers perished. Saw a number of vessels ashore to the northward and south- ward of Cape Hatteras, but at such a distance that we could not discern what they were.
There was four sail totally lost on O- cracoke Bar, and fifteen or sixteen driven ashore—spoke one or two of the wreckers, but could get no satisfactory accounts of them, they informed, that there were a great deal of flour, &c. to be sold, saved from the vessels.
Sept. 6, thirty miles south of Cape Henry, spoke schr. Betsey, Stevens, from Philadelphia for St. Bartholomews, in distress, was going to Norfolk. Spoke in the Bay, schr. _____, of Alexandria from Cape Francois, dismasted, going in- to Norfolk.
Schr. Jane, Dana, of Charleston, from St. Martins.
3d instant, off Cape Hatteras, saw se- veral horses and sheep, with other appear- ances of a wreck.
FRANKFORT, August 24. Extract of a letter from a gentleman of the first respectability, at Vincennes, (In- diana Territory) to the Editor, dated 15th August, 1803.
"I promised you news of importance, and have now to communicate it—A treaty was signed a few days since, at this place, between Gov. Harrison, on the part of the United States, and the chiefs of the Kaskaskias tribe of Indians, by which the United States have acquired at least eight millions of acres of land. The whole country is ceded, from the junction of the Ohio & Mississippi, up to the mouth of the Saline creek, which makes into the Ohio a few miles below the mouth of the Wabash—and from thence along the high lands that divide the waters that fall into the Saline, the river Wabash and the Kas- kaskias, on the one hand, and those of the Wabash, on the other, to the ridge that divides the above waters from those that fall into the Illinois river—thence in a di- rect line to the mouth of the Illinois, and thence to the Ohio."
"The Indians are all at peace, and now more attached to the United States, than they ever have been before. Indian affairs have been conducted in such a man- ner, upon such principles, that their firm- est confidence has been acquired. They find an obvious interest in cultivating our friendship, and the task will be easy here- after, in preserving the strictest amity with them. Many tribes, formerly pow- erful, have dwindled away, (compar- atively speaking) into nothing. The Kas- kaskias have now thrown themselves wholly under the protection of the United States. Measures, I expect, will short- ly be taken, to assist them in preparing for cultivating a small tract or two, which is reserved for their use. They express much anxiety to become farmers, and ac- quire the rudiments of civilization. Game in some measure, is destroyed, and it is with difficulty they obtain a subsistence from that source—they therefore have the strongest motives to turn their atten- tion to agricultural pursuits; and the ex- periment which will be made on the Kas- kaskias tribe will no doubt have a happy influence on the surrounding nations."

HEALTH OFFICE,
SEPTEMBER 12.
A most alarming account of the prevalence of a malignant fever in this town having gone abroad, and the Committee of Health being ap- prehensive, that ignorant and timor- ous persons may still continue to propagate such injurious, and, in a great measure, unfounded reports, think it a duty they owe to their fel- low citizens, and the public general- ly, to state, as fully as they have been able to ascertain, from prac- tising Physicians and their own personal knowledge and enquiries, the situation of the town, with re- gard to the health of its inhabitants, since the 20th of August.
The uncommon drought of the season rendered it reasonable to sup- pose that diseases generally would assume a more aggravated appear- ance than usual, and that there would be more than an ordinary number of sudden deaths—this has been the case in this town, though not in so great a degree, as, per- haps, in other towns—to which may be added, a considerable mortality among children: these circumstances combined, with the timidity and disposition to exaggerate inherent in some people, has tended to pro- duce effects the most injurious to the town.
Dr. Dick reports, that since the 20th of August, he has had 29 pa- tients, with the prevailing epi- demic, 6 of which have died, 10 re- covered, 7 are in a convalescent state, and 6 remain ill, he likewise reports 2 new cases.
Dr. Hall states, that he has had 8 patients with the bilious fever, 6 of which were marked with the pre- vailing fever in characters not to be mistaken, and that he has lost none. No new cases.
Dr. Semmes has had 16 cases of violent fever since the above date, 5 of them are now ill, 2 have died, and the remainder are convalescents. One new case.
Dr. Douglass reports one man, with unusual symptoms, who has di- ed—he confesses himself unacquain- ted, any other way than by books, with the symptoms of the disease which it has been endeavored to im- press upon the minds of the people is now prevalent; but that from con- versation with persons who have been accustomed to be among it in the West-Indies, he is induced to be- lieve it not to be of that kind. No new case.
Dr. Gillies says—"I have not at present, nor have I had any case of malignancy this fall."
Dr. Triplett has had no case of fever in his practice attended with symptoms of greater malignity than are usual in the remittents which always occur at this season of the year.
Dr. Watson has had no other cases than common bilious fever, and none have terminated fatally.
Dr. Hamilton has been applied to by one person in the malignant fe- ver, of whose recovery he has no hopes. No other case.
Drs. Craik and Washington re- port forty-nine cases of bilious fever—twenty-five of which have been violent—three have died, and the re- mainder are convalescent, except one, who is now ill.
From a review of the united reports and sentiments of the physicians, generally, and our own opinion, we regret, that so exaggerated accounts have been spread unnecessarily to terrify the inhabitants to the manifest injury of the community. The practising physicians unite in opinion, that the disorder which has prevailed, has not been contagious. We flatter our- selves, that through the blessing of Provi- dence, a few days will prove to our fugi- tive citizens that they may return with safety, and our country friends not be discouraged from attending market, nor
our citizens from pursuing their usual oc- cupations.
ANDREW JAMIESON, Chairman, S. Snowden, Sec'ry.
The physicians are requested to send a report of the new cases and deaths, that may occur in their practice, every morn- ing at 10 o'clock, to the Committee of Health at the Court House.
S. SNOWDEN, Sec'ry.
Emigrants from Europe are pouring into the United States, in much greater proportion since the commencement of the new war in Europe. From Ireland and Scotland, where they are not so strictly observed, a great number have been late- ly landed at our principal sea ports.
In a late Baltimore paper, we observe a hundred mechanics from Germany, bro't over in one vessel, whose times of servi- tude, for payment of the expenses of their passage, are advertised for sale.
From the West Indies, also, great num- bers have lately reached our shore; ra- ther, perhaps, to escape from present evils, than to establish themselves amongst us in any useful avocation. These are the worst class of visitors, and, at this season of the year, ought to be received with the utmost caution.
The President's proclamation to con- vene Congress on the 17th October next, will, it seems, nearly exclude the State of N. Jersey, from being represented at the first meeting. The legislative body will not meet there until the 25th of that month, before which time its members cannot be sent to the House of Represen- tatives, and one only to the Senate.

CASES OF CURES—by Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges.
(Selected from thousands) the authenticity of which any person may ascertain, either by letter or personal application.
Dr. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
Aforesaid 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 torpor 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—residence 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,  Obstinate gleet,    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 (or 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.

HAMILTON'S
WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES.
Which have within four years past cured upwards of one hundred and twenty thousand persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from worms, and form obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever of similar title, so commonly complained of as operating with violence; on the contrary, a particular excellence of this remedy is its being suited to every age and constitution; contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is so mild in its operation that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old, should no worms exist in the body; but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. They are particularly efficacious in carrying off all gross humours and eruptions; feverish and bilious complaints, and are the safest and mildest purgative that can be used on any occasion. Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the 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—Starting 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 townness 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.
