RATSBON, August, 27.
The following Declaration was transmitted to the Diet, at its last Sitting.
Extract from the Aulic Rescript received by the Electoral Sub-Delegate of Bohemia, the 20th of August.
“His Imperial and Royal Majesty having been informed, by the Imperial Court of Russia only, of the contents of the Declaration which that Court and the French Government intend to transmit to the Extraordinary Deputation, convoked for the purpose of regulating the objects which have been marked out by the Treaty of peace of the Empire, His Majesty does not delay a moment to give to the Sub-delegate of Bohemia, those instructions, which in this unforeseen case he judges most advisable, in conformity with his constant solicitude for the good of the Empire.”
“It cannot be a matter of reproach to His Imperial Majesty, or the Germanic Body, that the assembling of the extraordinary Deputation of the empire has been delayed. More than nine months have passed since the nomination of that deputation was notified, on the part of his Imperial Majesty and the Empire, to the French Government, which was invited to send its plenipotentiaries, and to manifest its opinion as to the Epoch most suitable for the deputation to assemble. So far from having done this the French Government has never given any satisfactory answer upon the subject.”
“The Ambassador of His Imperial and Royal Majesty could not obtain from the French government its consent to enter into a preparatory negotiation with the Imperial Court, which it had promised, both before and after the nomination of the extraordinary Deputation of the Empire. On the contrary, they always answered in an evasive and dilatory manner, to the repeated requests made verbally and in writing, on the Imperial and Royal Court.”
“As to the new Negotiation proposed at the end of the last year by His Majesty the emperor of Russia, to take place at Paris, His Majesty acceded in the most amicable manner to that proposition, but notwithstanding that his ambassador was not called upon to take a part in that negotiation nor was he informed in any manner of its progress or its result.”
“In such a state of things, His Majesty thinks, that the greater or less delay in the assembling of the deputation of the Empire cannot be a well founded motive for restraining the right which the emperor and the Empire, as principal contracting Parties to the Peace of Lunéville formerly referred to themselves to discuss and regulate the business of the Indemnities, as well as other objects necessary to the fulfilment of that Treaty of Peace.”
“His Majesty is on the contrary, perfectly assured, that the two Powers alluded to have a just regard to the inviolable rights of an independent State, such as the Germanic Body, will not set at naught, in their practice, that first and principal attribute of independence.”
“In order to shew how far his His Majesty is founded in relying on the justice of the two Powers, he publishes to the Empire a consolatory declaration, which was presented to his Ambassador at Paris an official assurance, by M. Talleyrand, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, which assurance is couched in these words: ‘You may rest assured, that we have concluded with Russia, only upon such propositions as are to be made to you. That which we submit to the deliberation of the diet, cannot be called a plan, it is merely a Project, but which appears to us the most likely to give general satisfaction. It shall be proposed, on our part, simply in the way of advice, and not with a tone of authority, nor with the least appearance of our wish to force its adoption.’”
“He is confirmed, therefore, by this, that when even these powers may deem their counsels and friendly interference necessary for the arrangement of such a complicated business; they do not, therefore, in any wise, intend to dispute the powers and right of the Germanic empire, to regulate by itself the claims to indemnities, as well as so many other points which nearly concern its constitution, and on which depend its welfare or its decline.”
“In this assurance his majesty charges his electoral sub-delegate of Bohemia to interfere as far as he is competent, in order that the extraordinary deputation already assembled, open without delay, its sittings in the constitutional form; that it enter into a negotiation conformable to treaties with the French plenipotentiary, and with
the intervention and co-operation of the minister of Russia; and that it declare to the two plenipotentiaries, in the name of the empire, the confidence which the Germanic body has in the equitable views of the two powers, adding thereunto the assurance that the deputation will take their friendly propositions into serious consideration. The electoral sub-delegate of Bohemia is also charged to communicate those sentiments of his majesty to the plenipotentiaries of France and Russia, adding that though, according to the laws of nations, and also according to the laws of the empire, the deputation cannot be restrained even by the head of the empire, within a peremptory term, yet, that his Majesty, in his quality of King and Elector of Bohemia, will accelerate, as much as possible, the termination of the points which are to constitute the completion of the peace.”
STATE PAPER.
Definitive Treaty of Peace, between the French Republic and the Sublime Ottoman Porte.
The First Consul of the French Republic, in the name of the French people, and the Sublime Ottoman Emperor, being desirous to restore the relations of peace and amity which have of old subsisted between France and the Sublime Porte; have for that purpose appointed ministers Plenipotentiaries, viz. The First Consul, in the name of the French people, citizen C. M. Talleyrand, minister for foreign affairs to the French Republic; and the Sublime Ottoman Porte, Basid Mohamed Said Ghallib Effendi, Private Secretary and Director of Foreign Affairs; who, after exchanging their full powers, have agreed to the following articles:
1st. There shall hereafter be peace and friendship between the French Republic and the Sublime Ottoman Porte; hostilities shall for the future and forever cease between the two States.
2d. The treaties and capitulations which before the war defined the respective relations of every kind existing between the two Powers, shall be renewed in all their particulars.
In consequence of this renewal, and in fulfilment of the ancient capitulation according to which the French have a right to enjoy in the states of the Sublime Porte all the advantages granted to other nations; the Sublime Porte consents that the French merchant ships bearing the French flag shall for the future possess the undisputed right to navigate and pass freely the Black Sea. The Sublime Porte likewise consents that the said French merchant ships, on their passage in and out of this sea, shall, with respect to every thing that can favor the free navigation of it, be placed precisely on the same footing with the merchant ships of those nations which now navigate it.
The Sublime Porte and the Government of the French Republic will with common consent take vigorous measures to clear the seas which the ships of both states navigate, from all kinds of pirates.
The Sublime Porte promises to protect the French trading ships in the Black Sea against all kinds of pirates.
It is hereby understood, that the advantages secured by the present articles to the French in the Ottoman empire, shall in like manner extend to the subjects and flag of the Sublime Porte in the seas and territory of the French Republic.
3. The French Republic shall, in the Ottoman Countries which lie on, or in the vicinity of the Black Sea, both with respect to their trade and the Agents and Commissaries which that trade may render it necessary to appoint in such places, enjoy the same rights and privileges which France, before the war, enjoyed by virtue of the old capitulations, in any other parts of the states of the Sublime Porte.
4. The Sublime Porte assents to all that was stipulated with respect to it in the treaty concluded at Amiens between France and England, on the 4th of Germinal of the year ten (25th March, 1802) or the 22d of Zillidies, of the Hegira 1216. All the articles of this treaty, which have relation to the Sublime Porte, are by the present treaty formally renewed.
5. The French Republic and the Sublime Porte mutually guarantee the integrity of their possessions.
6. The restitutions and indemnifications which are due to the agent of the two powers, or to the citizens and subjects, whose effects have been confiscated or se-
questrated during the war, shall be regulated in an equitable manner, by particular agreement to be concluded between the two governments at Constantinople.
7. Until by common consent new regulations shall be agreed on, with respect to the tolls or customs on which disputes may have arisen, these shall in both countries continue to be regulated by the old capitulations.
8. Should any prisoners be found in the two countries who are detained in consequence of the war, they shall immediately be set at liberty, without ransom.
9. As the French Republic and the Sublime Porte, by the present treaty, wish to place their state reciprocally in the same situation of the most favoured powers, it is expressly understood that each state grants to the other all the advantages which have been or shall be granted to any other powers in the same manner as if they were expressly stipulated in the present treaty.
10. The ratifications of the present treaty shall be exchanged within eighty days, or sooner if possible, at Paris.
Done at Paris, the 6th Messidor, of the year ten (June 25, 1802) or the 25th of Saferniar, the year of the Hegira 1217.

A Dispatch has been received from Alexander Straton, Esq. his Majesty's Charge d'Affairs at the Ottoman Porte, transmitting an official note delivered to him by the Reis Effendi, on the 29th of July last, relative to the navigation of the Black Sea, of which the following is a copy:
TRANSLATION.
Official Note delivered by the Reis Effendi to Alexander Straton, Esq. at a conference in his Excellency's house on the Canal, the 29th July, 1802.
“IT behoves the character of true friendship and sincere regard, to promote with cheerfulness all such affairs and objects as may be reciprocally useful, and may have a rank among the salutary fruits of those steady bonds of Alliance and perfect good harmony which happily subsist between the Sublime Porte and the court of Great Britain; and as permission has heretofore been granted for the English merchant ships to navigate in the Black Sea for purposes of trade, the same having been a voluntary trait of his Imperial Majesty's own gracious heart, as more amply appears by an official note presented to our friend the English minister residing at the Sublime Porte, dated 3 Gemazial Ahir 1214—this present ‘Takhir’ (Official Note) is issued; the Imperial Ottoman court, hereby engaging that the same treatment shall be observed towards the English merchant ships coming to that sea, as is offered to the ships of powers most favoured by the Sublime Porte on the score of that navigation.

Several letters had been recently received by our consul at Barcelona, from the consuls at Algiers and Tunis, mentioning five Tripoline cruisers to be certainly at sea, and supposed to be on the Spanish coast. Mr. Montgomery, at Alicante, gave information of a Tripoline cruiser, which boarded a Danish flag off Cape Pelos, about the 18th September; she was a brig polacre rigged, yellow sides, and carried 4 large guns. There is every reason to believe there are several cruisers between Cape de Gatte and Cape St. Martin.
HARTFORD, October 18.
On Thursday last the General Assembly of this state convened at New Haven. On balloting for a Speaker in the House of Representatives, the whole number of votes was 153; of this number Ephraim Kirby Esq. had at two successive trials 36!! at the third!!! Hon. Elizur Goodrich, Esq. was chosen speaker, and Timothy Pirkir, jun. and Jonathan O. Moseley, Esqrs. clerks. It is surprising that out of 78 democratic members which our democratic brethren have advertised to all the world as having been chosen to the Legislature this fall, only 36 should have been present at the meeting of the assembly. We must suppose that the 42 absent of that "sect," have some pique against the Leader of the party , or they would have been more punctual. When the House is collected, it is presumed some question will be started by them which will shew who their 78 are.
SPEECH of his Excellency Gov. TRUMBULL, to both Houses of the Legislature, on Thursday last.
Gentlemen of the Council, Mr. Speaker, and
Gentlemen of the house of Representatives WHEN we reflect on the situation of most parts of the world at the present day disturbed with political agitations, and perplexed with revolutionary pursuits, and compare with them the circumstances of our own state—enjoying a like measure of tranquil and general happiness as heretofore experienced, our hearts should expand with gratitude to the Divine Author of all mercies, who gives us this continuance of his favor.
If we turn our eyes to Europe, there amidst scenes of trouble and distress, we behold a nation which has been tossed on the tumultuous ocean of revolution for more than ten years past—violently agitated during that period, with the conflicts of contending passions, in pursuit of imaginary and delusive ideas of liberty and equality, and which after suffering almost every species of calumny in their wild career, are now under the influence and policy of a fortunate leader, just returning to the point from whence they started: with this exception, that instead of rallying under their ancient Royal Family, they seem disposed to form a new Dynasty, under a foreign Head. To the civilized world the course of events which in this period has been exhibited by that nation, is peculiarly interesting and instructive; more especially to surrounding nations, does this result of their pursuits, present a serious and impressive lesson of instruction against plunging inconsiderately into the vortex of revolutionary practices, or being deluded into vain and philosophical reveries of untried forms of government.
With this recent example before our eyes, in addition to the numerous instances recorded in history, of similar issues to revolutionary pursuits, the people of this state may be taught the expediency and necessity of adhering with firmness and stability to their ancient habits of political government and religious institutions, as the surest means of social happiness and general prosperity. They may also learn to venerate the long tried forms of civil regulations which have been wisely devised by our revered ancestors, and which have hitherto beneficially continued in practice by successive generations. They will moreover be led seriously to reflect how dangerous the attempt is whenever, and by whomsoever proposed, to put to hazard the existing prosperity and happiness of the great community, for the uncertain pursuits of visionary scenes of greater happiness, however decorated by specious recommendations, which will most probably fail them in the grasp, or flit before them like the passing dream of the night; and may they always bear in mind that lessons of practical good sense, as applied to government administration, are immensely more useful to the world, than all the fine spun theories of visionary philosophers, or the delusive projects of closet politicians.
Our statute provision of work-houses for the punishment of idle, dissolute and disorderly persons, is calculated to answer very valuable purposes, for the correction of certain crimes and misdemeanors, which are difficult to be reached or reformed by other means. But it is much to be feared, that the object intended, is almost, if not wholly defeated, by a permission in the law, for substituting temporarily our common goals for the purpose designed. In this was their effect is exceedingly impaired, if not lost. It appears to me, that this subject merits the attention of the Legislature. For if our goals are still to remain substitutes for work-houses, some peculiar regulations for their management and government, as respects that object, to be provided by law, will be necessary for the attainment of the salutary purposes of such an institution. The most eligible mode would be to have distinct houses, but if these are not to be obtained, it will doubtless be judged necessary to have designated, and under peculiar rules of government and police, some separate and appropriate rooms for the proposed labor and correction.
The time of service for which one of the senators from this state, in the Senate of the United States is appointed being nearly expired, it will probably be the most expedient, in order to save unnecessary expense and trouble, that a new appointment by the Legislature, during their present session, should be made to supply the vacancy, which will happen in March next.

By accounts received from Pensacola, it appears that little doubt is entertained by the Spanish Government of the surrender, finally, not only of Louisiana to the French, but of the Floridas also.

BONAPARTE AND THE DEY OF ALGIERS.
Every packet from Europe brings some fresh proof of the vigorous democratic exertions of the First Consul; some new instance of his mildness and moderation—and some visible mark of the ultimate effects of revolutionary frenzy: something to make the wildest enthusiasts in the cause of unmixed democracy, at least pause upon their notions; and something which discloses, still more than ever what the benefits are which America is likely to derive from her present Ruler's fond partiality to France.
In the mandate of Bonaparte to the Dey of Algiers, it is observable that he writes entirely in the first person, in the most unbounded spirit of egotism, and, indeed, in the language of OFFENDED MAJESTY—The crimen læsæ majestatis is directly urged against the Dey—Vengeance is denounced against that Barbarian world for the offended dignity of Bonaparte: A repetition of the personal pronoun, I , which would disgust in the most sorry egotism, pervades the whole; and this champion of Liberty and Equality—this disciple of Paine and the Rights of Man, bursts out in the fanatical, blasphemous and despotical spirit of CROMWELL— "God has decreed the punishment of all those who are unjust toward ME!!!" —Towards Me—Bonaparte—Not towards France.
For our part we are neither disappointed nor surprised: so far as concerns the credit due to our opinions, we have little reason to be dissatisfied with those appearances in the present government of France. We have always thought a Jacobin Revolution must end in Despotism, and every day affords some new circumstance to justify that opinion. To all of our way of thinking, the conduct of the first Consul has been peculiarly favorable; but we cannot help thinking that Mr. Jefferson
and his friends have great reason to complain of his ingratitude. After all the kindness of those gentlemen to France, they find themselves deserted, and the ships, the commerce, and the citizens of the United States, left at the mercy of the Dey of Algiers, when one word from the all-terrible Bonaparte would have procured for them perfect security. On the contrary, it is observable that by his acquiescence in the 11th article of the Dey's reply, he has wholly renounced all interference on behalf of America.
Of evils which cannot be repaired it must be useless to complain, and retrospective regrets would be as superfluous as painful, if they had not the effect of amending and regulating our conduct for the future. It is to be hoped that the deportment of France, in many instances of late, will deter our rulers from any undue bias hereafter, to any particular European nation; and that the successful result of the First Consul's mandate to the Dey of Algiers will quicken our activity, enliven our national pride, and animate us to all those spirited exertions, to that naval and military preparation, without which no nation ever was, still less can now be, either secure, or respected, or respectable.

Extract of a letter to the Editor of the (Frankfort, Ken.) Guardian of Freedom, dated St. Vincennes, September 17, 1802.
"I have now to communicate the pleasing result of our council with the Indians. Every object for which it was held, so far as it relates to us, is completely obtained. They listened with attention and apparent pleasure, to the plans proposed for their advancement in civilization. They all promised their firmest support in carrying the measures of the president into effect. To governor Harrison's perseverance and unremitted attention, its successful issue is justly to be ascribed."
"The Indians have relinquished to the United States a beautiful, fertile country, twenty-four leagues square—It extends north and south, from Point Coupee to the mouth of White river, and from a line drawn parallel to the general course of the Wabash, twelve miles to the west of this town, across towards the Ohio—It is expected it will extend to, or near the Illinois grant. They have also granted the privilege of working the great salt spring, on the Saline river, near the Ohio, with four miles square of land, including the spring, which will afford a plentiful supply of fuel for the salt works that will there be erected—It is unquestionably the best salt spring, that is possessed by the western country. Arrangements will shortly be made by government for the disposal of this tract of country; and we may justly felicitate ourselves with the pleasing hope, that at no distant period, our wildernesses that are now traversed only by savages and wild beasts, will give way to wealthy populous settlements."
From the Georgetown, S. C. Gazette, of Oct. 16.
"On Sunday last information was brought to this town, that a number of negroes had been landed at Long Bay, from a French frigate, which has been lately seen off the coast, and that the people of Waccamaw were, consequently, in a state of alarm. This information, coming from a source which admitted of very little doubt, caused the officers commanding in town to collect their men immediately, many of whom marched that evening, others who were collected from the country, followed them on Monday evening. Those who set off on Sunday evening, had almost reached the place where the landing was said to have been effected, when they were informed that the alarm was false. It appears to have originated from a French negroe's having been taken up in the night, near Long Bay, who is supposed to be a run away. We are sorry to state, that the country for some distance above this place was alarmed, and the men actually on their march."
"It is much to the honor of our citizens that they turned out to a man, although some of them had just risen from a bed of sickness; but it is to be feared, that such false alarms will have a tendency to prevent the like attention to duty when danger is actually at hand. We understand that the business will undergo an investigation."

Dr. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR, A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obsolete Coughs, Asthmas, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and Ap- proaching Consumptions.
To parents who may have children afflicted with the HOOPING COUGH.
Th's 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. Attor- ney-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 si- milar complaints have rendered medicine ne- cessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and trou- blesome affection of the breast, accompanied with forensis and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On these accounts I do not hesitate to recom- mend 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 fe- vers 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 tes- timony 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 vari- ous complaints which result from dissipated plea- sures—juvenile indiscretions—residence in cli- mates unfavourable to the constitution—the im- moderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the unskilful 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, Consumptions, Loss of spirits, Loss of appetite, Impurity of the blood, Hysterical affections, Inward weaknesses, Seminal weaknesses, Fluor albus, (or whites) Barrenness, Violent cramps in the stomach and back, Indigestion, Melancholy, Gout in the stomach, Pains in the limbs, Relaxations, Involuntary emissions, Obstinate gleets, Impotency, &c. &c.
In cases of extremity, where the long preva- lence 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 re- pair a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE and EX- TRACT OF MUSTARD, A safe and effectual remedy for gout, rheuma- tism, palsy, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. And has performed more cures in the above complaints than all the other medi- cines 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 treat- ment 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 fol- lows, 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 re- duced to the melancholy apprehension of re- maining 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 Ha- milton'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

HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES. Which have within four years past cured up- wards of one hundred and twenty thousand persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints ar- ising from worms, and form obstructions or foul- ness in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever of familiar title, so commonly complained of as op- erating with violence; on the contrary, a parti- cular excellence of this remedy is its being suit- ed to every age and constitution; contains no- thing but what is perfectly innocent, and is so mild in its operation that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest in- fant 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 pro- duction 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 mild- est 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 chief- ly 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 Taenia, 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 ap- petite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purgings, with slimy and fetid stools —Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickens at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Exces- sive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy coun- tenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symp- toms, should have immediate recourse to HA- MILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LO- ZENGES, which have been constantly attend- ed with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally during the warm season, will effectually pre- vent the vomiting and purging of children, a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thou- sands of the infant part of our cities. It is like- wise 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 authenti- city 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 af- flicted 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 ap- prehensions 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 Ha- milton'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. Ful- ler is now in perfect health. The above facts are well known to a numerous circle of his neigh- bours, 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 opera- tion on the human body, even taken in large doses, as Mr. Fuller will testify—their partic- ular mildness is abundantly evident in innumera- ble cures of infants.
Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, York-town, Pennsylvania.
Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOL- THER, minister of the Moravian church, in York-town.
York, January 4th, 1802.
Dear Sir, Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recom- mended to me as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms, I procur- ed a box for the use of my family, to try, whe- ther by means of this medicine, I might be en- abled to gain a point, which, to accomplish, dif- ferent 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 medi- cines administered, until I gave him two doses of lozenges, agreeably to the directions, which carried off a substance to all appearance a mer- mucus, but upon close inspection quite reple with very small living animals. Not one of that
sort of worms which usually afflict children came from him. Since that period he grew markedly better in health, and though lean, has got a fresh and lively complexion. Upon different occasions I have used this medicine a purging substitute, and found it to answer exceed- ingly well, without bringing on belly-ache, or any of those disagreeable sensations, so often oc- casioned by purging medicines. Upon the whole, I judge this medicine to be, besides its main ob- ject, one of the most salutary means for restor- ing lost appetite, and promoting a proper state of digestion, by carrying off that bilious sub- stance, which engenders so much indisposition both among children and adults.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, JOHN MOLTHER.
