CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Saturday, January 7.
DEBATE
On Mr. Randolph's motion for the appoint- ment of a committee of enquiry into the official conduct of
SAMUEL CHASE.
(Mr. Dana's Speech continued)
If charges were specified in the reso- lution, a member of this House, on mov- ing it, might then have a right to demand an enquiry. But are the house bound to investigate the conduct of a particular of- ficer, without any charge against him? Gentlemen have said much about the ge- neral right of this house to enquire into the conduct of public officers, as if this were the point in dispute. But who has denied the right of enquiry as incident to the power of impeachment? When any officer is charged with an impeachable of- fence it is admitted to be, and from the nature of the thing it might be the right of the house to enquire into the truth of such charge. I trust, no gentleman in opposi- tion to the present resolution can be found so ignorant of the true principle on which it is opposed as to deny the responsibility of the public officers, or the right of the House to enquire into their conduct. But, the right being admitted, the question is made as to the exercise of that right, in the manner now proposed. When this house is called upon, to direct the whole force of its influence against a particular judge, is it not reasonable, is it not just, that some charge should first be stated a- gainst him? This is but a decent respect to judicial character. It is but a decent re- spect to the character which becomes the assembled representatives of a nation. The person implicated, might then be enabled to meet the enquiry and obviate unfounded suspicion. Our power with respect to the judges is the power of impeachment; but we are not therefore justified in wantonly assailing their characters and sporting with their sensibility or reputation. The right of enquiry relates to impeachable offences. Shall we then enquire where no offence is stated? So far is the resolution from stat- ing what would warrant an impeachment, that it does not mention any offence, or re- fer to any transaction.
The gentleman from Virginia, who mov- ed the resolution, Mr. J. Randolph, has indeed declared his own conviction, that the judicial officer in question, had done wrong. Might not other gentlemen also have their opinions, and exercise their own judgments in forming them? They ask for the reasons of his conviction, before they vote for his resolution. His information, he says, was received in such a manner that he does not choose to disclose it. If any person has communicated any thing to him confidentially, he is not desired to name his informant. The gentleman shall not be desired by me to make any disclos- ure which would offend against the most delicate sentiment of honor. But can it be improper for him to state the general na- ture of the offence which he believes to have been committed? Will this violate a- ny honorary confidence? He is desired to make such a statement, that other members of the House may have an opportunity of judging whether the believed offence would warrant a vote of impeachment. In cases of this kind, is any member to be deemed infallible? When a gentleman in his place states a fact of his own knowledge, his ve- racity is regarded as unquestionable; but his infallibility is not supposed to extend to matters of mere opinion. Upon the principle of its being possible for the gen- tleman from Virginia to err in opinion, and its being equally the right of other members to judge what conduct amounts to an impeachable offence, it might have been reasonably thought that he would at least state to the House the nature of the facts on which he relies as the basis of his resolution. If he, or any other member, declaring his conviction that a judge has misdeemeaned himself in office, will exhi- bit to the House a statement of any fact, or series of facts which would warrant an impeachment, I will be ready instantly to vote for an enquiry. But nothing of this kind is exhibited; and therefore the reso- lution on the table is now opposed. Before you agree to oppress a judge with all that weight of suspicion which may be imposed by a vote of this House, let him be permit-
ted to know what part of his conduct is sup- posed to be exceptionable, that opportuni- ty may be had, in the progress of any en- quiry, to vindicate himself against unmer- ited reproaches! Instead of a course of proceeding so fair and so obviously just, the resolution on the table marks two of the judges for public suspicion, without specifying any supposed misconduct. It marks them as public objects of suspicion throughout the whole of their judicial life, and without naming any thing, invites private enemies to accuse them of every thing.
(To be Continued.)
From the PALLADIUM.
LETTERS TO A FRIEND.
No. I.
THE questions which you propose for my consideration, are of a nature highly important, and at the present time pecu- liar-ly interesting, and as such, demand the most serious and candid attention of every friend of man and of society. Having neither talents nor leisure to enter into a minute and lengthy discussion of the vari- ous, though intimately connected subjects, upon which you request my opinion, you will permit me, for the sake of brevity and perspicuity as well as method, to reduce them to the following order:
1st. Is civil government necessary for the happiness of man and society, and if necessary, what is the ground of that ne- cessity? 2dly. Are men morally fit to be their own governors? 3dly. Is either of the three simple forms of civil government, namely, Monarchy, Aristocracy, and Democracy, calculated to secure the happiness of man and soci- ety? 4thly. What are the natural and consti- tutional principles of our own Federal Go- vernment? 5thly. Are the sentiments and measures of the present leaders in the adminis- tration of the Federal Government consistent with, or are they subversive of, those natural and constitutional principles?
Having made this arrangement, I will now proceed to a consideration of the fore- going enquiries in the order in which I have placed them.
1st. Is civil government necessary, and if necessary, what is the ground of that ne- cessity?
That civil government of some kind or other, is absolutely necessary, is a position to which all mankind seem to have agreed. The only question, therefore, which needs to be considered here, is, what is the ground of that necessity? Were mankind univer- sally disposed to adopt and practice the golden rule of doing to others as they would that others should do to them, I can see no reason why they might not live together in perfect peace and security, and enjoy all the benefits of society, without the aid or intervention of civil government. Unhap- pily, however, this is not the case. On the contrary, universal observation and expe- rience demonstrate, that mankind, with- out exception, are more or less disposed to seek their own private individual interest and happiness, at the expense of the safety, the rights, and enjoyments of others, and of the general welfare and happiness of soci- ety. The truth is, mankind are univer- sally selfish and depraved, and, in all their intercourse with each other, are influenced more or less by motives of self-interest in opposition to general good. Hence the necessity of civil government, to restrain the natural selfishness of the human heart, and to compel men to respect the rights of others as their own. Human depravity, therefore, or the natural selfishness of man, appears to be the sole ground of the neces- sity of civil government.
Here it may be useful to make one re- mark. If human depravity be the sole ground of the necessity of civil govern- ment, and if it be the design of government to restrain that depravity, then the prevail- ing and very popular opinion, that there is no medium between liberty and tyranny is a very false and dangerous one. It is to- tally subversive of all government without restraint, and restraint is incompatible with liberty, therefore government destroys li- berty as really as tyranny does, the only difference is, just restraint is government, and unjust restraint is tyranny.
2dly. Are men morally fit to be their own governors?
I answer. Self-government necessarily implies freedom from all exterior restraint. To suppose therefore that men are moral- ly fit to be their own governors, is to sup- pose that men will restrain themselves, or in other words, that they will voluntarily conform to the rule of right or precepts of natural law. But to suppose that men will voluntarily conform to the rule of right, is to deny the necessity of civil government. For the great end of civil government is to restrain men from violating that rule in their intercourse with each other.
No law is of any force without a penalty. This is evident from a well known fact. There are certain laws now in existence in this Commonwealth with penal ties ap- pended, and there are officers whose particular business it is to see that those laws are carried into effect. These officers have neglected their duty. The laws have been violated, but the penalties have not been inflicted upon the delinquents, and the con- sequence is, that these laws have become of no effect; they are perfect nullities. — Penalties are calculated and designed to o- perate solely upon the fears of men, and laws are of force just in proportion to the certainty or probability, that the penalty will be inflicted upon the disobedient. It is the fear of punishment, therefore, which induces men to obey the laws. But men will not punish themselves for disobedi- ence, nor will they be afraid of punish- ment, unless there be a power to punish exterior to themselves. If, therefore, it be necessary that laws of any kind should exist, and should be obeyed the conse- quence is unavoidable, that men are not morally fit to be their own governors.
Yours, &c. CATO.
PHILADELPHIA, June 7.
The late conspiracy in France has excit- ed, from the Democratic prints of this country, an almost united strain of indig- nation, and with some the affectation of horror. No man of principle or under- standing will pretend to vindicate acts of assassination; and no civilized government we are persuaded, would authorise or sanc- tion such a species of hostility. The use we mean to make of the circumstance, as it has been represented, and the remarks which it has produced in this country, is merely to shew the want of consistency and principle in that party who now declaim so piteously about murder, assassination, and plots.
The life and person of Bonaparte has suddenly become very sacred in the eyes of these creatures; but will it not be remem- bered by every reader of this article, that but a short time ago, these men instead of investing the First Consul with the holy panoply of regal right and power, were as audacious in invoking some murderer to impede his career, as they are now silly and impudent in railing at an alleged con- spiracy to abridge his power! Yes, the Au- rora and the National Intelligencer, (the governmental paper) after calling him ty- rant, usurper, etc. emphatically exclaimed, "is there no Brutus in France?" such is the consistency of these men! such the correctness of their principles!
The motive for this conduct, however, is apparent in every word they utter on the subject, and that is, a dreadful hatred for Great Britain, and a desire, paramount to all principles of honesty and truth, to de- grade her in the eyes of the world.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 13.
The liberty of the Press is no longer a security to freedom than the press is preserved respectable. When it is permitted to become the medium through which falsehood, unfounded detraction and malignity are circulated, its utility is destroyed by the subduction of public confidence. To what a degree of improvement might general information be advanced, were truth only committed to the press, or every wilful deviation subjected to the severest penalties! How happy a circumstance were eulogy the sole prerogative of the meritorious, and censure suffered to point her shafts at infamy alone!
No government was ever yet formed to which the aid of an uncorrupted press was more essential than to the government of the United States, and with shame be it acknowledged, no country ever saw it more debased. The man who is resolved to devote himself conscientiously to the promulgation of interesting information, sees with mortification and disappointment, his labours lost, in that deluge of fiction and misrepresentation with which the popular mind is continually overwhelmed. The impositions which are incessantly practised, have a tendency to limit the credibility of a writer, however deserving of universal confidence, to the narrow circle of personal acquaintance; he who is faithful to the truth can find no stamp of veracity which shall be generally recognised, or which an artful or assuming villain will not readily counterfeit.
The abuse of the press has reduced America to a deplorable situation. Every thing in our government depends on the propriety of our elections. Enlightened suffrage can result from correct information alone. There is no possible way of diffusing that information but through the press; and the press has so frequently been prostituted to the base purposes of calumny on the one hand, and the intrigues of wicked ambition on the other, that it serves but to distract, not to determine. Where will this terminate? If not corrected, in the ruin and disgrace of our political institutions.
Every well wisher to the honor and happiness of this country must have witnessed with sincere regret the death blow inflicted by the present chief magistrate of the United States, on the dignity of the press. Instead of exhibiting the least disposition to acknowledge and preserve its respectability, by restricting it to the promulgation of truth, and of rendering it serviceable to the public, by taking measures to insure its confidence, he was the first to sanction its degradation—the first among our exalted characters who presumed to treat it with contempt. No greater insult could be offered to a free people, no more insidious attack upon their rights, than that single expression, by which he pretended to divest himself of all solicitude respecting the “lacerations of the press.”
That officer who avows an indifference to reputation is an enemy to a republican government. The “lacerations of the press” are the severest punishment, which can be inflicted for misconduct; and should Mr. Jefferson be able to persuade the public into the sentiment he has advanced, that all censure is to be disregarded, he will have completely disarmed the sentinel of our liberties, and may commit outrage upon outrage with impunity.
That the press has been prostituted to the vilest purposes cannot be denied; but instead of sinking it still lower, let it be corrected. Let our public characters, if they dare, purify the channels of popular information, by protecting truth, and discountenancing falsehood. Prosecution is the only means by which it can be restored to confidence, and in our government it ought to be the duty of every public officer to prosecute the man who attacks his reputation. Let truth be admitted in justification; then would our Journals, which are now too justly considered as deserving of little credit, become a terror to evil-doers.

First—That the said Jabez Bowen, actuated by motives unworthy of and highly criminal in a Judge did in or about the month of January last past, burn or destroy a certain Record of the Superior Court of the county of Chatham, that is to say, a certain plea or answer of Thomas Groves, to an action instituted against him, in the said court, by Oliver Bowen deceased.
Second—That the said Jabez Bowen, regardless of the sacred duties of his office, the laws of the land, peace and safety of the inhabitants thereof; did on the 23d day of April last past, in the superior court of the county of Chatham, while presiding as judge, utter, and deliver, under the title or colour of a charge, to the grand jury, an extra judicial speech or address, containing principles in the highest degree dangerous to the lives and properties of the good people of the state, tending to excite insurrection, and to involve the country, in all the horrors of domestic warfare.
Third—That the said Jabez Bowen, did at divers times and places, endeavour to promote and incite insurrection, by holding converse with slaves tending to inflame their minds and otherwise, and threatening to raise and head such insurrection himself, and destroy all the white people in the country.
Fourth—That the said Jabez Bowen, did on the 24th day of April illegally commit the grand jury of the county of Chatham, to the common jail of the said county, for barely executing their constitutional right and duty, presenting persons and crimes, and daring to disapprove and censure the said violent and inflammatory charge or address, deliver to them, by him the said Jabez Bowen as aforesaid.
Fifth—That the said Jabez Bowen, forgetful of the dignity of his office, and in derogation of the same, did go to the court-house of the said county of Chatham armed, and did there, while on the bench, and during the sitting of the court, draw forth and present a pistol at and against a multitude of citizens there assembled, using at the same time the most violent and indecent language.
Lastly—That the said Jabez Bowen, in violation of his duty, and of the respect and obedience due to the state, the legislature, and the laws having insured the dignity of the state and endeavoured to bring its legislature and laws into contempt. By which said several crimes and misdemeanors, the said Jabez Bowen hath rendered himself unworthy the high and dignified office of a Judge of this State.”
In Senate, 17th May, 1804.
The special committee to whom was referred the papers and documents relative to the conduct of Judge Bowen, report and recommend the following address:
To his Excellency John Milledge, Esq. Governor and Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of this State, and of the Militia thereof—
Senate of the state of Georgia, having taken
into consideration the charges which are brought against Jabez Bowen, jun. Judge of the Eastern District, and the evidences which support them, do resolve, that the said Jabez Bowen, jun. is unqualified for the appointment which he holds in the judicial department of this state; that it will be derogatory to the dignity of the state, that he should continue any longer therein—and that his continuance in office will endanger the peace and harmony of this people.
The senate therefore beg leave to address his Excellency, and request that he will dismiss the said Jabez Bowen, jun. from his appointment of Judge of the Eastern District of the State of Georgia, as by the first section of the third article of the constitution is provided.
The senate took up the report, and the same being read, was unanimously agreed to.
DAVID EMANUEL, President of the Senate.
Test, WM. ROBERTSON, Sec'y."
Now know ye, that having taken the foregoing address of the house of representatives, as well as that of the senate, together with the charges exhibited against the said Jabez Bowen jun. and the evidence in support of them, into consideration, I do by virtue of the power and authority in me vested by the constitution aforesaid, remove the said Jabez Bowen, jun. from his office of Judge of the Superior Court for the eastern district of this state; and do, by these presents, declare his appointment of Judge as aforesaid to all intents and purposes, from this time, as void as though he had never been appointed and commissioned as such.
In testimony whereof, I hereunto set my hand, and caused the Great Seal of this state to be affixed—Done at the State house in Louisville this eighteenth day of May, in the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and four, and of the independence of the the United States of America the twenty eighth.
JOHN MILLEDGE.
By the Governor, HOR. MARBURY, Sec'y of the State.
Extract of a letter from Halifax, Nova Scotia, dated 26th ult.
Two American ships and a brig were cast away upon the east end of Sable Island, the latter end of April, the crews all saved except one boy. Sir John Wentworth has chartered the Sch. Nancy, Haxford, for the express purpose of bringing the crews here.
Communication.
If Mr. Snowden thinks the following of use he will please to insert it in his useful paper.
By last accounts from St. Domingo we learn that previous to the general assassination of the French white inhabitants of the Cape, every dog they could find in the streets was killed; gangs of negroes appearing to have been appointed for this purpose, were seen hunting them into their master's houses; and the general opinion seemed to be, to provoke resistance, for a pretext for the meditated massacre.
The accounts already noticed in your paper are confirmed by this report, and all the horrors of indiscriminate butchery of women and children. Landing one morning, this informant adds, he saw lying on the beach the corpse of a beautiful young woman, her arms tied behind her, and a large wound through each breast, and three of the same sex lying by her, with the same marks of the infernal barbarity of these murderers.
Their marked hatred to the whites is daily evidenced. An American captain walking the streets, was accosted by a negro drummer, in the following insolent manner: ‘You d—d white rascal stand out of the way.’
An English Lieutenant of a Frigate off the Town, resenting the same treatment, had a difficult escape to his ship, the commander of which, upon hearing his complaint, required the Americans to hawl out of the way, that he might lay his ship out of the way. The satisfaction he required, at first denied, was now acceded to.
The extensive influence of this revolution cannot be calculated, but it begins to be estimated as portentous to the other islands.
The English must subjugate St. Domingo (of which it is thought they have some design) or probably experience the same fate; and we learn that serious alarms pervade the inhabitants and owners, and government has been induced to strengthen the garrisons.
But let us look at home—and if a tho't can be spared from our immediate concerns, for the consideration of so important and ominous prospect, nay already at our doors. Let us remember the meditated massacre at Richmond, and be watchful.
THE DOCTOR AND
A TALE.
A PUPIL of the Esculapian school Was just prepar'd to quit his master's school. Not that he knew his trade, as it appears, But that he then had learnt it seven years.
Yet think not that in knowledge he was cheated; All that he had to study still Was, when a man was well or ill, And how, if sick, he should be treated.
One morn he thus address'd his master: “Dear Sir, 'my honor'd father bid, me say, If I could, now and then, a visit pay, He thinks, with you, To notice how you do, My business might learn a little faster.”
“The thought is happy,” the preceptor cries; “A better method he could scarce devize; “So Bob, (his pupil's name) it shall be so; “And, when I next pay visits, you shall go.”
To bring that hour, alas! time briskly fled, With dire intent, Away they went, And now behold them at a patient's bed.
The master doctor solemnly perus'd His victim's face, and o'er his symptoms mus'd; Look'd wise, said nothing—an unerring way, When people nothing have to say.
Then felt his pulse, and smelt his cane, And paus'd and blink'd, and smelt again, And briefly of his corps perform'd each motion: Manoeuvres that for death's platoon are meant; A kind of make ready and present, Before the tell discharge of pill and potion.
At length the patient's wife he thus address'd: “Madam, your husband's dang 'r's great; And (what will never be complaint abate) The man's been eating oysters, I perceive.” “Dear! you're a witch, I verily believe.” Madam replied, and to the truth confess'd.
Skill so prodigious, Bobby too admir'd: And home returning, of the sage inquir'd How these same oysters came into his head? “Psha! my best Bob, the thing was plain— Sure that can ne'er distress thy brain: I saw the shells lie underneath the bed.”
So wise, by such a lesson grown, Next day Bob ventured forth alone, And to the felt some suffer paid his court— But soon, with haste and wonder out of breath, Return'd the stripling minister of death, And to his master made this dread report:
“Why, Sir, we ne'er can keep that patient under, Zound! such a maw I never came across! The fellow must be dying and no wonder, For I believe he has eat a horse!”
“A horse!” the elder man of physic cried, As if he meant his pupil to deride— “How came so wild a notion in your head?” “How! I think not in my duty I was idle; Like you, I took a peep beneath the bed And there I saw a SADDLE AND A BRIDLE!”

ANIMATION.
IN the most important functions the vital powers are suspended, and those who are injured by impudence, inheritance, accident or disease, are tottering upon the brink of the grave; it is not in despair that relief is to be found: There is a medicine which has restored thousands from infirmity and misery to health and happiness, which is
THE AROMATIC LOZENGES OF STEEL.
Since this excellent medicine was first discovered by Dr. Barthe, several thousand females have experienced its salutary effects; many of whom had been reduced to the brink of the grave having used every remedy recommended as specific in their complaints, and had made every application to the faculty that could be obtained. The following recent case is selected from a numerous list.
From Mrs. Eleanor Wadsworth, Providence, (R. I.)
Sir, We received yours and with much pleasure comply with your request, as my daughter has certainly received very great benefit from Dr. Bardwell's Aromatic Lozenges of Steel. In the winter of 1802 my daughter, who is in her 17th year caught a very severe cold, which with the violent fever which accompanied it, confined her to her room upwards of four months; during this period we paid for Doctors bills and consultations 150 dollars. The fever left her in the most deplorable, and debilitated state with hardly any use of her limbs, so that we were obliged to carry her from the bed to the chair. Being strongly persuaded by the Doctor we went to Billings-Town Springs and stayed the season, and thought she gained considerable strength by the use of the waters; but by the fatigue of the passage (having very rough weather) she became as weak and her cough much worse than before. During the last winter her whole nervous system has been irritable, and her spirits so low and depressed, that death to her was desirable. In the latter end of January we saw an Advertisement recommending the Lozenges of Steel for similar complaints, we immediately purchased a packet of them, and before the whole of them were taken, the evidently produced a change in her system, which no medicine before had been able to effect, we sent for two more packets. It is now fourteen days since she began to mend; she has laid aside her crutches, has been twice on horseback, and if the weather should prove favorable we intend coming to Peekskill early in April. As soon as we go to Billings-Town Springs; from there we will send you our address, where with pleasure we will satisfy any enquiries.
Price one Dollar per Packet.
Particular directions for their use are set out with each but as the great benefit to be derived from them can only be secured by having them genuine, the public are requested to observe that the name of Thomas Stokes & Co. are affixed to each packet, without which mark of authenticity they are not genuine.
The Lozenges of Steel, are only to be had, in Alexandria, or Meffrs. R. & J. GRAY.
WHO HAVE ALSO ON HAND,
A SUPPLY OF Family & Patent Medicines, -CONSISTING OF- Chambaud's Antasthmatic Lozenges; Ayue and Fever Drops; Antibilious Pills; Ardone Essence for Head Aches; Reanimating Solar Tincture; Dr. Bardwell's genuine Eye Water; Arkinson's Essence of Mustard; Scotch Ointment for the Itch; Truth deb Drops; Aromatic Lozenges; Essence of the Woods, &c. &c.
Dr. Hunter's genuine Antibilious Pills, For the prevention and cure of Yellow, Bilious and Patria Fevers.
Every experienced physician knows what dangerous disorders arise from a redundancy of bile in the habit; however salutary a due secretion of this fluid may be, yet a diffusion of it in the circulation is known, from its putrefacent qualities, to bring on sudden and fatal fevers. The unparalleled success of Dr. Hunter's Antibilious Pills, in curing, and particularly in preventing this dreadful disease, is universally known in the islands, and has induced the proprietor to appoint agents in all the mercantile towns in the United States, for the accommodation of the public. The Antibilious Pills are therefore, in an especial manner, recommended as a preventative, deserving the notice of all persons going to the West India Islands, or any of those places infected with these fevers. Dr. Hunter has every possible reason, that can result from long and extensive experience, for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every fourteen days, during the prevalence of our fall fevers, will prove an infallible preventative, and that, if taken in the early stages of these fevers, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health, and frequently in cases esteemed desperate and beyond the power of common remedies.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, may be used with liberty by persons in every situation and of every age.
In sickly times and places a dose should be taken once a fortnight, and if there is reason to apprehend imminent danger, once a week.
Observe that the signatures of Messrs. Thos. Stokes and Co. is affixed to each box, without which mark of authenticity they are not genuine.
Dr. Atkinson's genuine Essence of Mustard. Rheumatism in every stage, instantly diminishes its penetrating powers which has succeeded in curing the most desperate cases of rheumatism, gout, lumbago, sciatica, rheumatism, palsy and complaints of the stomach, after various medicines have proved unsuccessful. It is prepared in pills, and also in a fluid state. The pills are particularly useful in flatulences and indigestion, and by their Tonic operation, promote perspiration, and gradually undermine the most obstinate rheumatism; and at the same time, invigorate the debilitated constitution. The fluid essence is a remarkable active anodyne, necessarily used with the pills, and generally excites a tingling sensation, it removes the cause of pain, by bringing on a circulation in the parts affected.
calculation in the parts affected: b. This means, in cases of the arts sprains and bruises, old strains and relaxations, are generally cured by a few applications. The genuine is distinguished from counterfeits, by the signature of Thomas Stokes and Co. being affixed to each bottle; without which mark of authenticity, none are genuine.
The genuine Scotch Itch Ointment.
The only medicine that cures this disagreeable disease, by one application, so many thousands having experienced its efficacy; it is unnecessary to add any more arguments in its favor; but to caution the public that the name Thomas Stokes and Co. is affixed to each box, without this mark of authenticity, none are genuine.
Dr. Bardwell's genuine Eye Water.
A sovereign remedy for all diseases of the eyes; speedily removes inflammations, dimness, redness, and it never fails to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the measles, small-pox, and fever; and is an unparalleled strengthener of a weak sight.
Dr. Hunter's genuine Antibilious Pills.
An agreeable and certain preventative of the predisposition to inflammatory and malignant fever, which prevails at particular seasons of the year. The rapid and increasing demand from every part of the United States, and the West India Islands, is the best evidence of their superior excellence.
CHAMBAUD'S Antasthmatic Lozenges.
A radical cure for coughs, colds, asthma and consumption, difficulty of breathing, &c. &c.
Mr. CHAMBAUD, the sole proprietor of this medicine, has the satisfaction to announce that they have been the means of relieving many persons in a most precarious state of health. In common colds this medicine produces so salutary a perspiration that they generally are eradicated in a few hours. Coughing, being prolonged by that convulsive symptom termed the tickling in the throat, it shortens its duration by promoting sleep and strengthening the constitution. Pulmonary complaints, affecting the breast and lungs; those affected with them experience an almost immediate relief. Asthma and confined consumption have repeatedly been eradicated by them. Infants in the hooping cough, and women during pregnancy, may take them without the least fear of danger, and with the greatest expectation of relief, nor can it be administered at an improper season.
Dr. BARDWELL'S Anodyne Essence, for all kinds of Head Aches.
THE renowned virtues of the Anodyne essence, is now so generally known, that it is no presumption in the Proprietor, to say, that Head Aches, arising from whatever cause, or however violent, invariably submit to its penetrating powers. This invaluable Anodyne, has frequently succeeded after the best advice, and every other remedy had failed; by its salutary operation, it insensibly promotes circulation and perspiration, and thereby prevents the return of the most obstinate periodical head aches.
SPRING PHYSIC.
DR. HUNTER'S Anti-Bilious Pills are unquestionably proved by ample experience to be the most effectual remedy, at the same time the most innocent, pleasant, and convenient medicine for the cure of scurvy, scorbutic eruptions, leprosy, and other disorders originating from a corrupting state of the blood. The remarkable cure of Mr. Ellison of Albany, who had been twelve years tormented with a most distressing scorbutic complaint, as also that of Thomas Johnston, a labouring man, in the service of Mr. Van Rensselaer, who was afflicted with a most horrid leprosy, must have convinced every one who has read the particulars of these cases, besides which, a variety of proofs of their efficacy, authenticated by persons of character and respectability are open to the examination of every inquirer. These must naturally be supposed to have their due weight, and supercede the necessity of any further comment from the Proprietor, yet, he presumes to assert, that the real merits of this vegetable preparation will, on a fair trial, plead more forcible its own recommendation than any thing which can be said of it.
Where also may be had,
Atkinson's Worm destroying Lozenges.—These Lozenges not only destroy worms where they exist, but effectually prevent their return. The families who have followed Dr. Atkinson's advice, and used them in the Spring and Fall among their children, as their common physic, have now the happiness to find those children, which appeared sickly and consumptive, in the bloom of health, being entirely delivered from those dreadful vermin.
Sparta, Mount Pleasant, March 27, 1803.
We hereby certify, that our daughter, about 4 years of age, has been very unwell and in a bad state of health for these last two years. We always suspected that she had worms, and had given her several worm medicines, without any good effect, so that we despaired raising her till of late. Bearing of some surprising cures being performed by Atkinson's worm destroying Lozenges, we purchased a packet of them, and administered them according to the directions. The first dose brought away only one worm, and with it a quantity of slimy, offensive matter; the second brought away four monstrous thick worms nearly half an inch in length; and the third dose, a large quantity of a slimy, offensive matter. The vomiting and purgation, with which she was frequently troubled have ceased; her appetite has become regular, and has over since enjoyed a perfect state of health, for which we are entirely indebted to this excellent medicine.
DR. BARDWELL'S
Re-animating Solar Tincture, or Pabulum of Life. Of the cure of Consumption and Asthma. Disorders in the Stomach and Bowels, Convulsions, Cholic and Di sentery.
Cautions in investigation, and attentive enquiry into the nature and laws of the animal economy, having long confirmed an opinion in the mind of the inventor, that all the maladies abovenamed, derive their origin from the same cause, indirect debility, or consequent weakness, the analogy of their source, by a natural inference suggested the idea of their removal by the same means; the result was the discovery of the Re-animating Solar Tincture, which after having been employed in thousands of instances, with the most unexampled and astonishing success, has obtained the warmest approbation of characters of the first respectability, both in and out of the profession; the proprietors can confidently recommend as one of the most certain, efficacious, and pleasant remedies ever discovered by man or offered to the world.

Dr. Stoughton's Cordial Bitters, faithfully prepared at the original warehouse, London.

These Bitters being now generally used in taverns and public places, and universally acknowledged by all who have tried their effects, to be far superior to the compositions formerly imposed in imitation thereof, the proprietor has reduced the price to those who purchase largely above fifty per cent. Directions will be printed on the Bottles, and which will be also sealed, in order to detect counterfeits and illicit pretenders, who will all tell you, they make the genuine Stoughton's Bitters; and in order to impose their trash on the public, they sometimes copy a part of the true advertisement and directions.
Specific Drops for Deafness.
FOR many years have these drops been used with amazing success, in DEAFNESS & HARDNESS OF HEARING. Those who are unacquainted with the great relief afforded by this valuable medicine, are earnestly recommended to a trial.

Copious directions for the use of the Specific Drops for Deafness are sealed up with each bottle. Price one dollar.

2000 Tickets at 5 Dollars, 36,000
IN offering the Scheme as above, it has been the object of the Managers to raise the sum allowed by law on the smallest capital possible, keeping in view the propriety of making the risk as little as the nature of the case would admit, being fully of opinion that its success must depend more on the aid which a liberal public, ever ready to extend to the promotion of an useful undertaking, than on any support to be derived from the adventurous speculator or needy gambler, were it on a plan more extensive, the prizes higher, and the risk greater. Here the adventurer will readily perceive, that while he is contributing only a small sum to be laid out in improving the roads, so that the produce of the country may be carried to market at any season, & at a moderate expense; his chance of gain is not unfavourable, there being less than 2 blanks to a prize and some of the Prizes not inconsiderable ones. This must be sufficient, when the object to be attained, is so extensively useful, and the cost so extremely small. The Commissioners flatter themselves that they will be aided by, at least all patriotic citizens, in accomplishing this useful object; and they confidently hope that the drawing may commenced at a period not very remote, of which however notice will be given in due time. The Prizes will be paid in Cash, subject to no discount, immediately after the completion of the drawing. Tickets may be had of the managers and from such other persons as they may hereafter authorize to dispose of them.
