DOCUMENTS
Accompanying the Report of the Committee appointed to enquire into the official conduct of SAMUEL CHASE and RICHARD PETERS.
(Continued.)
The deposition of Philip Norborne Nicholas, taken at the house of the honorable George Wythe Esquire, in the city of Richmond, before the said George Wythe, Esq. and Joseph Scott, Esq. commissioners duly authorized by the House of Representatives of the United States, to take the said deposition. The said deposition being taken on interrogatories propounded to said Nicholas, by the said commissioners, which interrogatories and the answers to the same are as follows, to wit:
1. Interrogatory. Were you present at the trial of James Thompson Callender for sedition?
Answer. I was.
2. Interrogatory. When and where did the trial take place?
Answer. The trial of James Thompson Callender, on a charge of sedition, took place in the circuit court of the United States for the Virginia district, during the May term of that court, in the year 1800.
3. Interrogatory. Relate the circumstances of that trial.
Answer. During the May term of the circuit court of the United States, for the Virginia district, in the year 1800, an indictment was sent to the grand jury against James Thompson Callender as the publisher of a work entitled "The Prospect before Us"—a great many passages from the work were stated in the indictment and charged on Callender as seditious. The grand jury found the indictment a true bill. Callender was not in custody, but resided at the time in Petersburg; a warrant was issued against him, and some days afterwards he was arrested and brought to Richmond by the marshal. This deponent having previously formed a determination to appear as one of Callender's counsel, after his arrest, he, together with George Hay, esquire, had a conference with Callender to examine the charges against him, and to ascertain whether he was prepared for his defence. The charges stated in the indictment were very numerous and dissimilar in their kind, and we soon perceived that it would be impossible to be prepared for the defence without the attendance of a number of persons, several of whom resided at a great distance. We were of opinion also, that many documents were necessary which it would require time to procure; and the charges were so multifarious, and required a particular examination of so many facts and events of a public nature, that we believed if our evidence was present we could not be prepared during the term to do justice to our client. Under this conviction we advised Mr. Callender to move for a continuance of the cause, and an affidavit was prepared under his directions to found the motion on. This affidavit is filed amongst the papers in the cause in the federal court. It stated that Callender expected to prove by the persons whose names were mentioned in it, certain facts material to his defence; the facts which he expected to derive from each witness were particularly stated in the affidavit. It will appear by a comparison of the affidavit with the indictment, that the facts stated by Callender as being known to his absent witnesses, apply directly to many of the charges in the indictment. Before the motion was finally decided on by the court, they directed the cause to lay over for a few days, and in the mean time that Callender might subpoena such of his witnesses as were within reach. Subpoenas accordingly issued for general Mason, colonel Taylor of Caroline, and Mr. Giles. After the time had elapsed, during which the court consented the cause might lie, it became necessary that we should urge the court for a continuance, as none of Callender's witnesses attended but colonel Taylor, and as this gentleman's evidence, tho' deemed by us very important, applied only to part of charges in the indictment. We accordingly renewed the motion, and it was urged with great earnestness, under a conviction that a fair trial could not be had without Callender's witnesses, and that as many of them lived at the distance of several hundred miles, and the prosecution had originated only a few days before, it was impossible that Callender could have procured their attendance. We thought also that he had a constitutional right to obtain compulsory process to compel the attendance of his witnesses. The court refused
to grant a continuance, and judge Chase declared as the reason why the continuance was refused, that Callender had not stated in his affidavit that he could prove the truth of all the charges stated in the indictment; that it was necessary that Callender should prove the truth of all the charges to obtain an acquittal, and that as the witnesses who were absent were to give evidence as to part of the charges only, their absence afforded no good reason for a continuance, and that therefore our motion should be over-ruled. The court having refused to continue the cause, the jury was called, and one of the counsel for the defendant stated to the court, that he wished to ask the juror, who was called to the book, before he was sworn, whether he had formed an opinion on the work entitled "The Prospect Before Us," from which the charges in the indictment were extracted. Judge Chase said no such question should be asked, that the only question which would be allowed was whether the juror had formed and delivered an opinion on the charges contained in the indictment, and that to exclude the juror, he must not only have formed, but also delivered an opinion. The juror answered that he had never seen the indictment or heard it read. The judge directed that he should be sworn in chief. The counsel then asked that the indictment should be read to the juror, which might enable him to decide whether he had formed and delivered an opinion on the charges in the indictment. Judge Chase said the court would not permit this; that they had indulged the counsel as far as they could, and that they ought to be satisfied. It is to be observed that Mr. Bassett who had been summoned on the jury, seemed to have considerable scruples at serving, and stated that he had expressed some opinion as to the "Prospect before Us." Judge Chase however declared Mr. Bassett a good juror, and he was sworn and acted as a juror. The jury being sworn and several witnesses having been examined on the part of the United States to prove the publication of the "Prospect Before Us," the counsel for the defendant asked that col. Taylor of Caroline should be sworn. The court decided that col. Taylor should not be examined, for reasons which this deponent will fully detail in answer to the fourth interrogatory. After the exclusion of col. Taylor's evidence, the attorney for the United States spoke at length on the charges contained in the indictment, and after he had finished, the counsel for Callender commenced their defence.
The counsel who opened that defence, began by stating to the jury the embarrassed situation in which he and his coadjutors stood; that the prisoner during the same term was presented, indicted, arrested, arraigned and tried and that this precipitation precluded the possibility of obtaining witnesses or making preparations for a subject of such extent. He was here interrupted by judge Chase, who said he would not suffer anything to be said which reflected on the court. The counsel then attempted to demonstrate to the jury that the act of congress usually cited the sedition act, was unconstitutional and void and the jury were not bound to consider it as law. Judge Chase interrupted the counsel and stated that arguments might be addressed to the court on the right of the jury to consider the constitutionality of the sedition act, but that such arguments should not be addressed to the jury. The counsel then attempted to demonstrate to the court the right of the jury to enquire into the constitutionality of an act of congress. In the course of the discussion of this point the counsel were frequently interrupted by judge Chase particularly Mr. Hay, and that gentleman, who spoke last, after having received several successful interruptions from judge Chase, folded up his papers and declared that he would proceed no further in the discussion.
The counsel for the defendant made no further effort at a defence, and retired from the court. The motive which influenced the counsel to abandon the defence, at least the motive which influenced this deponent, was a persuasion that in the absence of many of Callender's witnesses, after the exclusion of colonel Taylor's evidence and the restrictions imposed on the counsel as to the manner of conducting the defence of their client, together with the decision of the court on the points which have been stated, that he could render no possible service to the defendant.
4th Interrogatory. Did Mr. Chase refuse to the prisoner the testimony of a witness, because he the said witness, could not prove the truth of all the facts set forth, and upon which the indictment was grounded?
Answer. After the jury in Callender's case were sworn, colonel Taylor of Caroline, who attended as a witness in consequence of a subpoena served upon him in behalf of Callender, was called to the book and sworn in the usual form. Judge Chase at this moment asked, with considerable haste and eagerness of manner, what the counsel expected to prove by the witness? He was informed that they meant to ask him whether Mr. Adams had not avowed in his presence, sen-
timents inimical to a republican form of government, and whether he did not whilst Vice President, give the casting vote in the Senate against the sequestration of British debts, and against the suspension of intercourse with Great Britain. Judge Chase demanded that the counsel should state in writing the questions meant to be asked. The counsel for the defendant opposed this, because, although a number of witnesses had been examined on the part of the United States, no similar requisition had been made with respect to them, because it was contrary to the practice in the state courts, and because also it was unreasonable in itself and calculated to subject every question of fact to the control of the court. Judge Chase, however, insisted that the questions should be submitted to his previous decision. They were accordingly put in writing, and were as follows, to wit:
 1. Did you ever hear Mr. Adams express any sentiments favorable to monarchy or aristocracy, and what were they?  2. Did you ever hear Mr. Adams, whilst Vice President, express his disapprobation of the funding system?  3. Do you know whether Mr. Adams did not in the year 1794, vote against the sequestration of British debts, and for stopping all intercourse with Great Britain? 
After having examined the questions, judge Chase declared that col. Taylor's evidence was inadmissible. He declared that no evidence could be received that did not justify the whole charge. The charge, said he, is that the traverser had of the President, he is a professed antirepublican and has proved faithful to the British interest; now you must prove both points, or you prove nothing; and as your evidence relates to one only, it cannot be received—you must prove all or none. This was in substance, and it is believed the precise words in which judge Chase stated his objection to col. Taylor's evidence. The counsel asked the judge whether they could not be allowed to prove part of a charge by one witness and part by another? To this judge Chase replied, that if the counsel could prove the whole of any one charge by col. Taylor, that they might do it, otherwise they should not examine him. The counsel contended that col. Taylor's evidence applied to the whole of the charge which the judge had stated in his opinion. That they meant to prove by him, that the President had professed anti-republican sentiments, and had proved faithful and serviceable to the British interest in the sense in which those expressions were used in the Prospect. The judge, however, adhered to his determination to exclude the evidence; and col. Taylor retired from the court with evident marks of astonishment. It is necessary it should be stated that judge Griffin sat in Callender's trial, as well as judge Chase; but throughout the trial judge Chase delivered the resolutions of the court, and assigned the reasons on which those resolutions were founded; and with respect to the particular points which have been stated by this deponent, as decided by the court, judge Chase delivered the opinions and assigned the reasons which have been attributed to him.

Committee met—J. T. Mason sworn. I was present on the 1st Monday of May, at the circuit court held for the district of Maryland in Baltimore, and heard Mr. Samuel Chase, the presiding judge in that court, deliver a charge to the grand jury who were summoned to attend and did attend that court. In that charge there was much political matter: he spoke of the act of Congress entitled "An act to repeal certain acts respecting the organization of the courts of the United States; and for other purposes," as alarming and dangerous in its tendencies, as it went to destroy the independence of the judiciary. He envied in very strong terms against the amendment made by the legislature of Maryland to their state constitution, by altering that part of it which required that a vote should be possessed of property to the amount of thirty pounds in value, and also expressed in terms as strong, his disapprobation of the proposed amendment to the constitution of Maryland, respecting their state judiciary, then submitted to the people for their consideration, and in very strong terms recommended it to those whom he addressed to return to their respective homes, and at the approaching elections for the state legislature to exert themselves in preventing the re-enacting in the mode prescribed by the state constitution that law then under the consideration of the people.
The room in which the court was held was crowded; there were in it many of my friends and acquaintance, whom I had not seen for some time previous to this, and the ordinary interchange of civilities which passed between us, prevented me from attending to the charge in such a manner as to be able to detail it with particularity, if I had been disposed so to do, which according to my present recollection was not the case. I have seen in the National Intelligencer, edited by Samuel H. Smith, under the date of the 20th May, 1803, an account given of that charge. It appears to me to be, as far as it goes, a correct statement of what fell from Judge Chase on that occasion. I have before said my recollection does not enable me to speak with particularity and certainty. I mean to be here understood as expressing my opinion that it is generally correct. I have also seen in the same paper under the date of the 5th of August, 1803, a publication purporting to be an account given of this charge by judge Chase himself—upon this I must observe as upon the other, that according to my

general resolution of what then fell from the judge, this statement of it is also correct as far as it goes—indeed I do not perceive any substantial difference between the two; if there be a difference it is not my intention to express an opinion which is the most correct.

LONDON, January 30.
The Cape of Good Hope, it was last night reported, is once again in our hands. This acquisition, it made, must have been effected by an expedition from the East Indies. We are the more inclined to believe this rumour, from the statement which was given some weeks since of a secret expedition having failed at Calcutta. Its destination was said to be from Ceylon, but this was believed at that time to be a feint. The house of Strobel and Martini, at Bourdeaux, has failed for three millions and an half of francs.
February 10—14.
Intelligence has been received, that an embargo has been laid on all vessels at Bourdeaux, and that all the merchantmen at that place, to the number of about 50, had been taken into the service of the republic. The same accounts state, that there are about 250 flat-bottomed boats at Bourdeaux, and that much activity was employed in fitting them out.
It is generally believed that an attempt will be made by the French to invade Denmark in a short time, and in consequence the commercial transactions there are greatly depressed.
It was rumored last night, that Bonaparte had arrived at Flushing, inspected the troops, and given orders for their immediate embarkation; and that from thence he proceeded to Dunkirk and Boulogne, where he issued similar orders.
Prussia, it is said, has strongly interested herself in the negotiation for establishing a commercial treaty with Russia, one of the conditions of which is, to shut the Sound against England. The emperor is said to have refused his acquiescence.
All the corps on the western frontier of Russia, amounting to 50,000 men, have been ordered to advance to second the mediation with Bonaparte of the differences with England.
Very late from Europe.
By an arrival at Boston we are in possession of English dates to the SIXTH OF FEBRUARY, which contain the following articles:
Boston, March 8.
By an arrival from Liverpool yesterday, papers to the 6th of February were received.—Through the politeness of a gentleman, we saw some of the latest dates, but observed nothing very interesting in them.
STILL LATER.
It was said last evening that the Packet, capt. Trot, in the short passage of 25 days from Liverpool, was coming up.
Paris, Feb. 18.
General Nogues is returned to Paris. He left London a few days ago. He has been taken prisoner at S. Lucie, where there were only 400 men. He was ignorant of the declaration of war, when the English Gen. Grenfield, disembarked 6,000 troops. He sustained an assault on a morne, repulsed the English three times, killed a great number of them, and particularly the Officer whom they had intended to make governor of the Island.
The English General has granted General Nogues a cartel to return to France; but the English cruizers sent him to England. He was a long time detained in the small towns. He was astonished, beyond the power of expression at the gross and barbarous prejudices which had been inculcated into the minds of the people against the French. The people, when they spoke of them, always called them French dogs; and all the absurdities which the Journals contain, are readily believed by the public. What a difference between the civilization of the people of France, Germany and Italy, and the civilization of the people of England.
As to their public spirit, fear was at its highest pitch; and the number of the discontented at an improvident government, which has had no other resource than that of arming the whole of its population, was daily increasing.
Peace was ardently desired by all classes of the nation, even by several of the Princes. Gen. Nogues dined at Bristol with the Duke of Cumberland, who was in the war in Germany against the French. The Prince entertained no doubt but that the French could land in England; and in the course of conversation expressed his opinion to be in favor of fighting en masse.
Pennry began to be every where felt. Even the navy felt the want of a great number of articles. The land forces, with the exception of the guards and troops of the line, were nothing but ridiculous caricature. One third were armed with muskets, and the other two thirds with pikes.

London, Jan. 30. We are happy to say, that the king is perfectly recovered. On Saturday morning his majesty took an exercise of riding on horseback in the riding house. The Duke of York afterwards had an audience of his majesty.
We have this morning received accounts from off the Texel, dated so late as the 25th instant, by which we learn that the Dutch have now in that port four sail of the line, in every respect ready for sea, and upwards of fifty transports, that were taking in their water. No doubt is entertained of their pushing out when an opportunity offers. A flag of truce came out on the 25th, with a letter of thanks from Admiral De Winter to Admiral Thornborough, for his attention to some Dutch pilots.
We are sorry to have to announce, that another storm, equal in fury to any that preceded it, took place last Friday night, and continued the whole of Saturday. Admiral Cornwallis was left on Friday morning off the Start, shaping his course for Ushant, to resume the blockade off Brest; but the storm at night forced him to abandon his intention.
Dispatches, supposed to be of importance, were yesterday received at the Admiralty. In the course of the day an express was sent off to Plymouth, to be forwarded by a fast sailing cutter to Admiral Cornwallis.
The neutrality of Spain is still talked of, notwithstanding her active equipments and preparations; and the happiness of Switzerland is boasted of, notwithstanding the emigrations that are taking place daily from that interesting country.
Letters were received on Saturday, by a cartel from Morlaix, dated the 25th instant. They mention that the preparations for invasion were carried on with great vigor.
Liverpool Feb. 2.
A Hamburg Mail has arrived since our last, but brought no news of importance.
Accounts from Leghorn mention that that place is no longer in a state of siege, but is restored to its former neutrality. It is even believed, that the English ships will be permitted to enter its harbour.
An article from the Hague mentions that the Flushing Squadron is ready to sail, the troops being embarked.
Paris Journals to the 20th instant inclusive are also received. The most important part of their contents is the annual expose by the government of the situation of the Republic. It is similar to all the previous manifestoes from the same quarter. In viewing the situation of France, her finance, her revenue, &c. are all flourishing. On looking to England, the political telescope is not only reversed, but the glasses are darkened, as if to enable weak eyes to gaze at the sun! Our forces are said to be weak; our people discontented; and even our navy is said to be starved, in consequence of the parsimony and improvidence of our ministers.
It is extraordinary that the articles does not contain a single word upon the subject of invasion.
The distracted state of the Turkish Empire is alluded to, and a kind of promise given that France will support the decaying power.
PHILADELPHIA, March 15.
The ship Packet, captain Trott, has arrived at Boston, in 19 days from Liverpool, bringing London dates to the 13th of February. Nothing of moment had occurred: It was said an embargo was laid in several of the ports of France, of which Bourdeaux is one. This had induced a belief that the invasion, if ever seriously meditated was on the eve of being attempted.
We are sorry to add, that this vessel brings a confirmation of the capture of the Philadelphia frigate. She was in pursuit of a corsair, and in attempting to cut her off from the coast, unfortunately ran ashore: she was immediately assisted by a multitude of boats, and was under the necessity of surrendering. It does not appear that any lives were lost on this occasion. The crew amounting to upwards of 300, were made prisoners, and sent to Tripoli.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Lisbon, dated January 16, 1804.
"You have doubtless heard the news that arrived here yesterday, of the loss of the frigate Philadelphia, which ran ashore near Tripoli, and was taken by a number of galleys of that nation. The ship was so off, and with the crew arrived at Tripoli. We have not heard the particulars."

Extract of a letter from captain Douglass, of the brig Swift, to his owners in this city, dated Bordeaux, December 25th, 1803, received by an arrival at Norfolk.
I arrived at this port, after a passage of 45 days. The 24th day after I left New-York I was on soundings in the Bay. After cruising there about ten days, with contrary winds and very boisterous weather, and not able to make our intended port, I thought proper to put into the Isle of Re, in company with a Boston ship, where we found an English seventy-four at anchor. After laying there some days, we got under way with a head wind, leaving behind a fleet of 25 or 30 sail, all bound to Bordeaux. The brig Stillman, arrived here four days before me. I have not been able to ascertain the state of the markets generally, but understand sugar is very dull, owing to the large quantities which have recently arrived. Coffee and cotton are brisk. Freights for New-York and Philadelphia are plenty."

We except from the preceding article, his excellency the governor general of this province, general officers, and the officer of the guard.  III.

and be charged with the police of the ball.
V. No person of any office, quality or condition shall be allowed to interrupt any dance or tune, which may be ordered by the managers; or in any manner or way to disturb the public tranquility, under the penalty of being immediately arrested.
VI. No boys under 15 years of age shall be admitted into the public balls, excepting those particularly designed for children.

TUESDAY, March 12.
A message was received from the Senate, stating their agreement to the resolution of the House for an adjournment of congress, with an amendment extending the period of adjournment to Monday the 26th instant. The House concurred in the amendment.
The House went into a committee of the whole; Mr. Varnum in the chair.—on the bill for opening several new land offices in the Indiana territory. Several amendments were made, when the committee reported the bill.
The House after considering the amendments ordered the bill to a third reading.

Dr. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obsolete Coughs Asthma, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and Approaching Consumption.
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 subject—the Elixir is so perfectly agreeable and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.
FROST 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 breath, 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 severe 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 skillful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females, at a certain period of life—bad lying in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be of great service in the cure of
  Nervous disorders,  Violent cramps in the    Consumption,  Stomach and back,    Loss of spirits,  Indigestion,    Loss of appetite,  Melancholy,    Impurity of the blood,  Gout in the stomach,    Hysterical affections,  Pains in the limbs,    Inward weakness,  Relaxations,    Seminal weakness,  Involuntary emissions,    Fluor albus, (or whites)  Obtinate gleet,    Barrenness,  Impotency, &c. &c.  
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, sciacy, 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.

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, 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 humors and superfluous; feverish and bilious complaints, and are the safest and mildest purgative that can be used on any occasion.
Description of Worms, and the symptoms which by they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Tereas 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 feet—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Screaming and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purgings, with slimy and foetid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowliness 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—by Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges.
(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, Yorktown, Pennsylvania.
Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOLTHER, minister of the Moravian church, in Yorktown. 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 mercurius but upon close inspection quite replected 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 which 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.
Dr. HAHN'S TRUE AND GENUINE GERMAN CORN PLAISTER.
An infallible remedy for corns, speedily removing them root and branch, without giving pain.
THE GENUINE PERSIAN LOTION,

The Persian Lotion operates mildly, without impeding that natural, insensible perspiration which is essential to health. Yet its salutary effects are speedy and permanent, rendering the skin delicately soft and clear, improving the complexion, and restoring the bloom of youth. Never failing to render an ordinary countenance beautiful, and an handsome one more so.
THE RESTORATIVE POWDER for the TEETH AND GUMS.
This excellent preparation comforts and strengthens the gum, preserves the enamel from decay, and cleanses and whitens the teeth, by absorbing all that acrimonious slime and foulness, which suffered to accumulate, never fails to injure and finally ruin them.
Dr. HAHN'S GENUINE EYE WATER.
A sovereign remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness or of accident, defluxions of rheum, dullness, itching and films on the eyes, never failing to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the small pox, measles and fevers, and wonderfully strengthening a weak sight. Hundreds have experienced its excellent virtues, when nearly deprived of sight.
TOOTH ACHE DROPS.
The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances.
THE SOVEREIGN OINTMENT for the ITCH. Which is warranted an infallible remedy at one application, and may be used with perfect safety by pregnant women, or on infants a week old, containing not a particle of mercury, or any other dangerous ingredient whatever, and is not accompanied with that tormenting smart which attends the application of other remedies.
THE ANODYNE ELIXIR. For the cure of every kind of head-ache. INDIAN VEGETABLE SPECIFIC. A safe and speedy remedy for the venereal disease. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." For the prevention and cure of bilious and malignant fevers,
IS RECOMMENDED
Dr. HAHN'S ANTI-BILLIOUS PILLS.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age.
They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent its morbid secretions—to restore and amend the appetite—to procure a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, which are often attended with fatal consequences—a dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness—fickleness at the stomach, and severe head-ache—and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
