From the Charleston Courier.
HOW can you account for it, said a gentleman this morning, that the jacobins side with their great enemy Bonaparte; and that it should actually appear, that the more inveterate and rancorous jaco- bins are, the more they are attached to him, and the more virulent against his great and most efficient enemy, England? He then particularized two or three names, which it is unnecessary to publish. To this question a person present made the following answer.
"I am undecided in my opinion whe- ther they really hate Bonaparte or not— whether they are prejudiced to him by an humble congeniality of disposition, or hate him because they fear his power. I can readily suppose them to oscillate between these two sentiments. Their fear being now lessened by England's hostility to him, their hearts return home, and they can afford to transfer their hatred whole and entire to that power, which, though Bonaparte be formidable to Jacobins, is still more formidable to them than him. If it was possible for any such feeling as love to enter into the hearts of such men, I might doubt whether they had not something of a love on account of his crimes, sufficient to balance their fear of that vengeance which he has vow- ed to all jacobins but himself. But as that is impossible, and as none but the worst passions can find residence in such bosoms, I am disposed to believe that they hate them both, but unequally; or, to pa- phrase for the purpose a saying of Shakes- peare's Brutus, "It is not that they hate Bonaparte less, but that they hate England more."
We were present at the above conver- sation, and we confess it struck us as an anomaly which, if it were observed in the case of any but jacobins would be utterly unaccountable, that the bare name of a man who has trampled on the rights and liberties of so much of the world as he has touched, and worse again, bent the necks of the wretched people of whom he usurps the rule to the yoke, should be heard not only with patience but with complacence, by men pretending to be ad- vocates in the cause of civil liberty. But the fact is, that the First Consul, though an enemy to jacobins in France, is a friend to all jacobins out of it. That though wishing to consolidate his own despotism over that country, his views are to un- hinge and destroy all other governments. The tragedy of revolution is as much an object of his liking now as ever it was— but the scene must not be laid in France. Any where else, and it has his hearty good wishes, and approbation—and his aid to boot. Here then is the great punctum of attraction. The first consul is still the loadstone to which every bit of jacobinic iron out of France, from a whitechapel needle to a rusty old nail, is drawn by se- cret congenial influence. No wonder then that he should meet friends at the head quarters of foreign jacobinism, and among the worst agents and familiars* of that government which he himself has pronounced jacobin. Add to this, that those worthies very justly consider Eng- land as the ruiner of their corporation, and the frustrater of their wicked schemes a- gainst the world—and must forever look to her with incurable malignity.
On the subject of this secret feeling be- tween Bonaparte and jacobins out of France, much might be said—but all that can be said to the purpose is comprised in the following extract from the memorable speech of a member of the British House of Commons, (Mr. Windham) on the 4th November, 1801.
"But we have another hope, founded on rather a contrary supposition, namely, that Bonaparte, now that he is a king himself—and a king he is so far as power can make one—will no longer be an en- courager of those absurd and mischievous doctrines, which however they may have helped him to the throne, will be as little pleasing to him, now that he is fairly seated there, as to any the most legiti- mate monarch. Sir, I agree, that Bona- parte, like other demagogues and friends of the people, having deluded and gulled the people sufficiently to make them an- swer his purposes, will be ready enough to teach them a different lesson, and to for- bid the use of that language towards him- self, which he had before instructed them in, as perfectly proper towards others.
* FAMILIARS, has two meanings; one, "an intimate"—the other, "a Demon that attends at call." It is not in the latter sense that we apply it here.
Never was there any one, to be sure, who used less management in that re- spect; or who let all the admirers of the French revolution, within and without— all the admirers of it, I mean, as a sys- tem of liberty—in a more whimsical and laughable situation. Every opinion for which they have been contending, is now completely trodden down, and trampled under foot, and held out in France to the greatest possible contempt and derision. The honorable gentlemen on the opposition benches (Fox and his party) have really great reason to complain of having been so completely left in the lurch. There is not even a decent retreat provided for them.
"But though such is the treatment which the principles of "the Rights of Man," and of the holy duty of Insurrec- tion," met with in France, and on the part of him who should be their natural protector, it is by no means the same, encouragement which he may choose to give them in other countries. Though they use none of these goods in France for home consumption, they have always a large assortment by them ready for for- eign markets. Their jacobin orators are not to be looked for in the clubs of Lon- don. There, they may talk of cashier- ing of Kings , with other language of that sort: but should any orator more flippant than the rest choose to hold forth in that train, in the city where the great con- sul resides, in the metropolis of liberty, he would soon put him in silence, in the way that we see adopted in the sign of the fi- lent woman. Bonaparte, being invested in virtue of the Rights of Man, with des- potic power, can afford to function in preaching of those doctrines in other coun- tries, of which he will not suffer the least whisper in his own. While he is at the head of an absolute monarchy in France, he may be the prompter and champion of jacobin insurrections every where else.— The abject as well as wicked nature of jacobinism, which, while it would rebel against the lawful authority of its own government, is willing to enslave itself to France, finds no difficulty of allowing to him these two opposite characters: and I know no reason why we should suppos- him disinclined to accept them."
SALEM, August 23.
FROM LISBON.
Capt. Norris (whose arrival and other particulars are under the Ship News) in- forms, that it was rumoured at Lisbon, that a French army was on its march for that place; and that the English mer- chants were preparing to remove, some to America, and among these Mr. Bulkley who had sent off his property, by different vessels to Philadelphia.
Capt. N. informs, that about the 10th of June, an English frigate sailed from Lisbon, for Gibraltar, and on the 12th was cast away upon Cape St. Vincents, and totally lost, in fair weather.

Y. for N. Orleans, under Spanish co- lors.
Last evening arrived the ship Caledo- nia, from Liverpool. By her London dates are received to the 13th July— They contain little interesting matter.
The expedition against England, it is said, will consist of 500,000 men, in 5 divisions, to be commanded by Bonaparte, Moreau, and Bernadotte; of which it is calculated that 200,000 will be destroyed in the attempt, and that the remainder will be a force sufficient to conquer the island.
In the event of invasion, the king it is stated, will take the field in person, and will be assisted in the conduct of the war by a military council. His Majesty certainly will in the course of the autumn, review the various camps near London.
The British government have received authentic information that the wishes ex- pressed by the Court of Madrid to pre- serve a strict neutrality have been com- pletely frustrated by the positive injunc- tions of Bonaparte, who requires every possible exertion on the part of Spain to co-operate in his views against that coun- try by the assistance of her navy. In consequence of the above information, letters of Marque and Reprisals were momentarily expected to be issued against Spain.
Admiral Cornwallis is cruising off Brest with 16 sail of the line—and Sir Edward Polew has blocked up the port of Rochef- fort.
Verbal intelligence had arrived at Falmouth of the capture of the convoy from St. Domingo, including the men of war, by Admiral Cornwallis.
London, July 12.
The Brussels papers contain some im- portant intelligence from Hanover and

the Elbe. It seems that the French are determined to cross that river, which the Hanoverians seem as determined to oppose. The ostensible object for the advance of the French army across the Elbe, is to disarm the Hanoverian army, in fulfilment of the treaty of Suhligen; but we presume they must have more important objects in view, as they meditate the crossing at three different places. The next accounts from that quarter will be interesting.
Alexandria, in Egypt, has for a time at least, been wrested from the Porte by a part of the garrison, who mutinied from want of pay, and after committing great excesses, made themselves master of the place.
A letter from Amsterdam, of the 4th inst. says "We are informed that the French government has demanded in the most precise manner, that similar measures to those adopted in France should be taken in this republic to prevent every kind of communication, direct or indirect, with England. It is expected that the exportation of every kind of provisions will be severely prohibited: orders are already given for the examination of vessels at their sailing, and for sequestrating all those whose papers are not conformable to regulations, &c."
Letters from Marseilles state, that a convoy has arrived in that port from America worth seven millions of dollars.

Some of the Paris Journals, upon the authority of the German Gazettes, speak of the court of Berlin being concerned in the mediation which Russia had offered between this country and France. They add, that a plan has been actually formed by the court of Berlin, for settling the disputes between England and France: "That Malta shall be occupied by Russian troops for ten years, and that they shall be paid by England and France jointly: That Malta shall be ceded to the order at the expiration of ten years, and shall be garrisoned by Neapolitan troops; and that the Island of Lampedosa, shall be ceded to Great Britain." We believe that some overture of this nature has actually been made to our Government, but no one who understands the real ground of the war between the two countries, can believe that it would be listened to for a moment. It is possible, however, that the offer of Prussia may revive the negotiation for a little, which before was considered as at an end; but we cannot promise it.
A bill was last night brought in by the Lord Mayor for raising an additional military force for the City.
CHARLESTON, August 18. The French frigate Perseverance of 32 guns, took a pilot on board yesterday, and is now in the offing, bound in, with 2 captured ships. From the report of the pilots, we learn, that one of the ships is the Juno, of Glasgow, mounting 14 guns, and 40 men, bound to Wilmington, N.C. captured off Cape Fear, a few days since, after an action of 2 hours and an halt; the other the American ship Cotton Planter, from Havana bound to Cows, to touch off this port for supplies; captured yesterday about 4 leagues from the light-house, but within three leagues of the coast. Some of the crew of the French frigate informed the pilots, that they had fallen in with a fleet of British merchant men, in the night, and captured 12 sail. It is not known from whence the French frigate comes; she reports from a cruise.

A caution for Coasters.
Arrived on Saturday sloop Hiland, Hand Philadelphia, 6 days, on Monday the 22d, in the afternoon, standing out of Delaware Bay, observed a sail standing in by the wind, at 7 o'clock Cape Henlopen Light House, bearing W. N. W. distance 1 1/2 leagues, she came along side, run up French colours, and hailed us in language which none of us understood, she then fired a musket over us, run up English colours, hailed in English, and ordered us to heave too, she then sent her boat with an officer on board, who after examining our men, left us, ordering us to lay too for further orders, in a few minutes the officer returned, and took out of us David Kitchel, an American seaman, who has a family in Philadelphia, but unfortunately had no protection. The officer then left us, ordering us to proceed on our voyage, telling us that he had a right to take any persons he found without protections.
She proved to be the British Ship of War, Leander, Capt. Kain, mounting 64 guns.
The ship William and John, Woodhouse, of this port, arrived at Falmouth in 33 days passage.
Brig Orion, from hence, has likewise arrived at Falmouth, 47 days passage.
The Belligerent powers in Europe.
While copies of the various charges and complaints of G. Britain and the French, against each other, are flying about the United States of America—and as those states may eventually, be seriously interested in the new European war, we hold it the duty of every one, who has the conduct of a free press, to give their readers both sides of the question: for it is an old and a true saying, "that one story is good until another is told." We think that the fairest manner of leaving the cause of action to the public, will be by a brief summary of the allegations and charges made upon each other, by the two great belligerent powers.
ENGLAND, by William Pitt, in the British Senate.
"To send an accredited agent to traverse and explore a country, with which the nation that sends him has no concern, is so suspicious and alarming a transaction, that it is scarcely to be regarded so much as an evidence of hostile design—it is in truth an hostile act. Another attempt of the French government was one which must rouse the indignation of every man, who had any particle of regard to the honor and independence of his country. The attempt to interfere in the internal government of England, by the demands against the liberty of the press, and hospitality to strangers, viz. French emigrants.
FRANCE, by the Senate of Paris.
"England wishes to grasp at the commerce of the whole world, it wishes to cover the seas with its fleets, and stifle industry, even in the bosom of every state."
On these charges it requires but one comment: the first has been proved, the latter is merely chimerical.
ENGLAND, by the Lord Chief Justice.
"The development of Sebastiani's mission manifests a satisfactory ground for war. The clear overt act of war was committed by Bonaparte. Ministers have conducted themselves with firmness, with a regard to the interest of the country, and a love of peace, and with a temper highly to their honor."
FRANCE, by Bonaparte.
"The perfidy of the King of England, who has scorned the sanctity of treaties, by refusing to return Malta to the order of St. John of Jerusalem, obliged us to take up our arms."
It appears that the pretext for retaining Malta, was a discovery of a contemplated revival of Bonaparte's favorite plans in Egypt, to which Malta may be considered
the key—thence to attack the English possessions in the East Indies.
On this subject a well informed writer says—
"If our suggestions respecting the views of the French government are well founded (and no one can doubt who has watched the course of events since the accession of the first consul) then the British government wanted no pretext for retaining Malta, or for renewing the war. The exchange in the political state of Europe, through the agency of the French which threatened to destroy the BALANCE OF POWER, was, in itself, a violation of the treaty, and "a fair cause for war." The contemplated attempt on Egypt, which if executed, would have been a direct infraction of the 8th article of the treaty, sufficiently justified any measures of precaution, which might tend to defeat the project. The retention of Malta was such a measure of precaution, because the post was important to check the passage of a fleet in the Mediterranean. In this view the treaty of Amiens may rather be considered as an armistice which was first broken by the French, and the renewal of hostilities may be considered as a continuation of the old war, rather than the commencement of another."
THE THEATRE.
JOHN BULL, or the Englishman's Fire Side, was represented on Saturday.
We are informed that this Comedy met greater success in London, than any dramatic work since the first performance of the School for Scandal; and, however great the encouragement might have been there, John appeared to be full as great a favorite with the Alexandria audience. The dignified sentiments of Peregrine—the rumors of Dennis Bulgruddery—the distresses of Lady Caroline, and, above all, John himself; who, under the characteristic bluntness of an Englishman, shews you the honest tradesman—the best friend, the most affectionate father, and a determined avenger of his wrongs; through a variety of distressing scenes, so highly drawn, and so truly affecting, that hard indeed must have been the heart who did not applaud John Bull.
We are strongly tempted to give the outlines of the plot; nay, even to offer to the reader whole scenes of this truly moral performance. We are however debarred from so doing, not only from the limits of our paper, but from the call the public have upon us as dramatic censors, on the performance.
Peregrine was well performed by Green—but either he, or Sir Simon Rochdale, were improperly dressed: the younger brother appearing much the oldest man, tho' the elder accounts for his altered appearance by thirty years service under the burning sun of the East Indies. The brothers, however, when we forget this impropriety, were in good hands.
We were at a loss, and greatly disappointed, not to find Frank Rochdale represented by Bailey, according to the bills of the day. He found a substitute in Rutherford, who was awkward and inanimate. His first scene with the Steward, we could not hear a syllable of, though pretty near the stage; indeed Martin, who was with him, generally acts in dumb show, for the audience can seldom hear a word, even should the author have put any into his part. For these two characters we were in part recompensed by the performance of little Dan, originally intended for Rutherford. The young representative was new to us, but, we can predict, that with a little practice, and louder speaking, he may venture on some other parts cast for the last named performer.
Dennis Bulgruddery—"ah! to be sure my dear jewel, Bernard, you were not at home to a peg, as landlord of the red cow, at all, at all." We could not wish to see a character better acted than the Irishman, but he was not well supported by Mrs. Lynch in the Landlady, who was by no means perfect in her part. It was also a neglect in suffering the jug, in which honest Dennis served his guests with his four beer to remain upon the stage, before the delicate Lady Caroline, when the scene represented a room in the house of a baronet. But this was neither the business of Dennis nor his man Dan; rather appertaining to those who so often make such a "botheration" among the scenery.
M'Kenzie was tolerably successful in
the arduous part of Job Thornberry; he gave us an excellent idea of the goodness as well as the foibles of John Bull. The scene where he recovers and gives his offending daughter was very affecting—and that in which he places himself in the chair of justice, highly characteristic.
Tom Shuffleton was acted through by Story tolerably; but we are always cramped when we see a man with a pair of arms exercise them only as high as the elbow.
The distresses of Mary Thornberry were finely displayed by Mrs. J. Witt. The part being entirely divested of any expectation which might be tortured into rapture—and, withal, a fine copy from nature. We never saw this lady to more advantage.
The Lady Caroline of Mrs. Green, we are sorry to say, did not merit much applause.

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, 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 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 coughs, 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 torments 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 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,    Loss 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,  Obtinate gleets,    Fluor albus, (or whites)  Impotency, &c. &c.    Barrenness,   
In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impoverishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no nourishment or cordial could reach, 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 Tæres or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short, flat, white worm, and lastly, the Tænia, or tape worm, so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and is full of joints—it is most hurtful, and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted gums—itching in the nose and about the seat—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Staring and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purgings, with slimy and foetid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms, should have immediate recourse to HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally during the warm season, will effectually prevent the vomiting and purging of children, a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands of the infant part of our cities. It is likewise the mildest and most certain remedy known and has restored to health and strength a great number when in an advanced stage of this fatal complaint. Particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the necessary treatment in such cases.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness; having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
TAPE WORM.
Mr. SAMUEL FULLER, Inn-keeper, on the Harford road, ten miles from Baltimore, began about 20 months ago to be grievously afflicted with a tape worm, which increased fast in size and strength, so as to excite the most horrid sensations by its writhing motions and intolerable pains, resembling the gnawing and tearing of his bowels, which deprived him of his necessary sleep, and caused such dreadful apprehensions as cannot be conceived but by one in a similar situation—his appetite wasted rapidly, and with that his strength, so that he was unable to attend to any business—when he heard of some excellent cures performed by Hamilton's worm lozenges, he took a large dose, which brought away about FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the possession of Lee & Co.)—but a renewal of his pains soon convinced him that this monstrous reptile had recovered its first vigour—Application was made to Lee & Co. for more of their medicine, with their advice—from which resulted the total expulsion of his formidable enemy, in several pieces, which he supposed to be SIX or EIGHT YARDS more. A few months have since elapsed, and Mr. Fuller is now in perfect health. The above facts are well known to a numerous circle of his neighbours, and himself will gratify any who may wish to make further inquiries on the subject. Although Hamilton's worm lozenges produce such powerful effects, when necessary, yet they are perfectly innocent and mild in their operation on the human body, even taken in large doses, as Mr. Fuller will testify—their particular mildness is abundantly evident in innumerable cures of infants.
Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, York-town, Pennsylvania.
Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOLTHER, minister of the Moravian church, in York-town.
York, January 4th, 1802.
Dear Sir, Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recommended to me as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms. I procured a box for the use of my family, to try, whether by means of this medicine, I might be enabled to gain a point, which, to accomplish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very fleshy 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 mucus but upon close inspection quit repelled
with very small living animals. Not one of that sort of worms which usually afflict children came from him. Since that period he grew remarkably better in health, and though lean, has got a fresh and lively complexion. Upon different occasions I have used this medicine as a purging substitute, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly-ache, or any of those disagreeable sensations, so often occasioned by purging medicines. Upon the whole, I judge this medicine to be, besides its main object, one of the most salutary means for restoring lost appetite, and promoting a proper state of digestion, by carrying off that bilious substance, which engenders so much indisposition both among children and adults.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant,
JOHN MOLTHER.
