GIDON'S 4th LETTER.
DALLAS and his fellow addressers of Philadelphia.
attempt to level, never equalize. In all of various descriptions, some description. The Levelers therefore only set the natural order of things: they of Society, by setting up in the air what the structure requires to be on the BURKE.
I, your party, and your chief have taken no small pains to en-levelling system in America, give it all the authority which such tion as yours, and your advice and amendment, could bestow upon it, in minds of a rash, and misguided multi-tude; you were of the priesthood of the existing church, and long preached the doctrine of equality. So long as you stood in that rank in which alone you could as levellers effectually act to your own advantage, you practised in conformity to your levelling precepts; but now when you have got into that rank in which you must be sufferers by those doctrines, you have conveniently reversed both your practice and your precepts. As the whole art of the sort of levelling which you have so long cultivated and pursued, consists in pulling down, and not in raising up, you were admirable hands in that destructive work so long as the Federalists towered above you, because in them you had much to ruin: you pulled them down therefore to a level with yourselves; and who will deny that the fall was great indeed. But as nothing but the immediate hand of God interposing by miracle could raise up the mass now opposed to you, even to your level; and as they feel disposed to try the very same experiment upon you, which you before so successfully tried on the Federalists, you all at once put up the helm, change your course, and shew your stern to the levelling system, bidding it adieu, it is to be hoped forever. The public writings of you and your party, which in execution I own surpass belief, manifestly shew that, while you are too sullen as well as cunning, to acknowledge your real sentiments, you internally feel that your conduct must be fraught with mischief. I own that you have a critically nice game to play. If you do not expose the atrocity of levellers, and the folly of the levelling system, so as to turn the hearts of the people against both, you will yourselves be levelled with the very dregs of your race and country: and if you do so expose them, you proclaim aloud the impurity of your past political lives. I have no great opinion of the efficacy of a death-bed repentance—no faith in the sincerity of the contrition of the sick. In truth it is to be apprehended that the utmost extent of your present virtue is rather attrition on account of the evil about to be done to you by the jacobins, than remorse for the evil which you, when jacobins, did to others. If I am mistaken in this, a Portuguese Inquisitor ought to be damned for cruelty, who would wish you much worse punishment than the company of your own feelings. Bitter must be your food, and hard and sharp as newly broken rock must be the very down that pillows your head, if you feel like men and christians those abominable practices in yourselves, which as politicians you have so admirably exposed, and so vehemently reprehended in others.
Whether I am right or wrong in fact, or whether you will be pleased or vexed at it, sincerity obliges me to declare that whenever I see an act of yours which necessarily involves a blunder or a vice, a defect in the intellect, or a flaw in moral sentiment, I cannot in justice refrain, from attributing the fault rather to your hearts than to your heads. Of the excellence of your intellectual powers, the world have manifold testimony; while party zeal itself, profuse as it always is in general declamatory praise of the virtues of its leaders, has not recorded a single act to throw into the scale of your hearts. I must therefore consider some of those bold truths in your address, where you maintain principles in contradiction to which you and your party have laboriously and uninterruptedly acted for many years, and inveigh against the wickedness of others according to which you have acted, to be neither more nor less than manifestations of that sort of depravity which can not only perpetrate evil, but impudently, and boastfully avow it in triumph, over all shame. Gracious God! can it be? Is it come to this with America, that men shall be found hardy enough to offer such an affront to this brave, free and intelligent people. First to profit by a particular species of deception on them, and then when no other profit can be hoped from carrying
that deception further, to turn about and attempt to benefit by revealing to them the wickedness of that same species of deception—To aggravate the insult of imposition, by laying claim to merit for exposing enormity: Nay, what is worse—to complain of, as a wrong done to themselves the most pre-eminently wicked, and barefaced of all the wrongs which they have done to others. Messrs. McKean, Dallas, Logan, and Co. I wish you may succeed against men much worse than yourselves; but whether you do or do not, you shall not escape me. You shall be laid before the world. In that manifold and motley tissue of political folly and wickedness, the administration of our government for the last four years, has any thing been so loudly or so justly complained of, as the discharge from public office of the veteran revolutionary servants of the country? And have you the effrontery—you the partisans of that administration—you, its agents, its councillors—you its political-artificers and close contrivers of harm—you abettors of its machinations and sharers in its spoils—have you the effrontery to complain, 'that the merit of past services is obliterated, —yes you have!!—even while all parts of the union re-echo the groans of its sacrificed benefactors, and every breeze that blows from every point of the seaman's card wafts to our afflicted ears, the sighs of the revolutionary heroes driven from their bread, and immolated at the shrine of political vengeance, by the democratic inquisition, by that crafty cruel priesthood of the rights of man, of which you were conspicuous members—You have dared to complain as a wrong to you, "that the merit of past services is obliterated." The whole union knows they have it still before their eyes, it still rings in their ears—the press has not yet ceased to reverberate it day after day, without intermission—and what is worse, you know, I say that you know, and you are convinced that every intelligent man, woman, and child in the union, know that the very worthiest of our fellow citizens, who had profusely squandered themselves, shed their blood, wasted the prime of their manhood, exhausted their constitutions and their means—and worn out their best years in all the horrors and hardships of warfare, for this country, have all been proscribed, by you, and your party proscribed, anathematized, pushed out of power, and out of the pale of political salvation, and others put in their place, as if the only disqualification for office was meritorious service to the country, and the only title to it is the reverse. Yes ALL were proscribed; all but those who were prudent enough to consider themselves, and to atone for the offence of having been virtuous, and for the insulting plea of past services, by apostasy from the good principles of their party to the pernicious views of yours, who wronged them.
And yet you can now insult the common sense of the American people by complaining that "the merit of past services is obliterated." Account for it, gentlemen, in the name of God I conjure you—in the name of the American people I demand it of you—render an account of the grounds on which you have ventured upon this hazardous experiment of misadvised cunning—this trick to obtain credit for services which you never rendered, and to throw upon your adversaries the odium of ingratitude for not paying to you a debt which they never owed you. Is it that you think we are all locked up in so much mire than Baetian stupidity, that we are ignorant of, or insensible to, these truths—or so destitute of all moral sentiment, as to look with eyes of favor upon such things, accompanied with avowal (equivocal to be sure in words, but determinate in sense) of their turpitude? "Or, have you eat of the insane root, which takes the senses prisoner?" And, with such a mountain of offence on your backs, do you now talk of services— you of services!—The men that did truly serve the country. Your party have put out of its service. Philadelphia has witnessed the fall of a faithful servant, major Jackson. You know that it was as much as the spirit of Mr. Gallatin, propelling up the bending timidity of the executive, and manfully struggling with the democratic torrent of that city, could do to save the other officers of the custom-house from this unjust spoliation. Yet you talk of past services . And pray what are your services in particular? Or what are the services of your party? It would be a cruel sarcasm to say you have rendered any; unless, indeed, we place to the credit of your Great Man the care and protection of the Virginia records from Tarleton's legion, with the Ralphionian retreat to Carter's mountain; or the writings of the hero of that field, which did not find place in the declaration of independence; or to
the credit of your brothers of the quid, the service of having blown up that jacobino-democratic fire which now rages in your state, and threatens to demolish it. These, or deeds of the same kind as these, are your only past services . Give me leave to say, that if there were no better promise of those to come, it would be of little consequence whether you or your adversaries fell to the ground, or which of you succeeded. Pray, gentlemen, was it for his past services Mr. Miller was turned out of office by Mr. Jefferson? Or was it for his past services that Mr. Tench Cox was put in his place. Every one knows that Mr. Miller was a true revolutionist, faithful to our common cause: every one knows that Mr. Tench Cox was a rank Tory in the revolution. Are these the grounds on which you complain of the merit of past services being obliterated? O shame, shame, where is thy blush!
While in the honest indignation of a patriot's heart, I denounce you as past offenders (because I think it is fit that this country should open its eyes to a perfect conviction of the errors respecting men and principles, into which they have been betrayed) I still think that, as things are, it would be a great, perhaps an endless, calamity to this country, if it should be overcome by your present adversaries. Tho' in your body, the state would have little to hope from virtue, it would have nothing to fear from want of talent and knowledge. It might suffer from party partiality, and injustice in the distribution of offices, from abuses and ambition, and even from avarice; but the wrongs would not be rendered loathsome or intolerable, by the barbarous grossness of the wrongers. Its power, patronage, and wealth, would not flow through the most pure channels, but then they would not be swept away in a smutty tide, down the kennels of the streets, or be emptied into the drains and sewers of the city. Probably, or, rather, no doubt, you would betray it to its enemies. In your hands, it would be safe from the blunders of stupidity, from the blindness of unlettered ignorance, and from the outrages of physical force, rendered profligate, as well as wild, by the possession of power, and having no guide but passion, no check from moral science, or from those distinct perceptions of right and wrong, which can only be obtained by the improvement of the mind, and cultivation of letters. I hope therefore, that the state will consider this; that they will reflect and act upon the saying of the inspired poet, "Not to be the worst; stands in some rank of praise; that they will consider that the injury they may sustain from your avarice and ambition, may be, in part, repaired by your talents and knowledge; and that if a state must necessarily resign itself into bad hands (it seems to be the determination of Pennsylvania) it should give itself up to those by whom it would be least inglorious to be ruined. In a word, that it is better to be shot, or die beneath the paws of a lion, than to be nibbled to death by snakes or ducks, or devoured by rats, mice, and vermin.

NEW-YORK, September 4.
The British ship Leander, and the frigate La Ville de Milan, from Halifax, are gone to cruise off the mouth of the Delaware; and probably another ship or two will be stationed off the Chesapeake. The principal ports of the United States will then be in a pretty complete state of blockade. The ships of war at Sandy-Hook, we are informed, board all vessels bound in or out.
BALTIMORE, September 6.
Arrived, brig Hunter, Buffington, from St. Jago.

Also, schooner Betsey, Fletcher, from St. Augustine.
Brings nothing new.
NORFOLK, September 2.
By captain Corran, of the ship Ariel, in a regular file of the Gazette de France, from the first of May to the 24th of June. The Intelligence which they contain has been anticipated by other arrivals.
From captain Corran, we understand, that a few days before he sailed, a new imposition had been laid on the Dutch commerce, and affecting that of this country. The French government suspecting that the Dutch government connived at the violation of certain laws relative to the importation of British manufactures, and of the law which prohibits an American vessel having touched in England going into Holland, have compelled all tobacco intended for Holland to pass thro' Antwerp. We regret that we cannot present our readers with more satisfactory particulars, upon such an interesting subject.
Something more serious.
We have had the perusal of a letter from captain Adams of the ship Recover of this port, to his owner, in which we discover more cause for alarm than anything which has preceded. But it is necessary to give a short history of this vessel: she belongs to a merchant of this place, was loaded on account of citizen, with a valuable cargo of flour, rice, rum, sugar, and coffee, and bound from this port to Gibraltar. Captain Adams writes, under date from Algesiras, the 13th of July, "I was this day carried before the tri-bunal, having NO SPANISH CONSUL'S CERTIFICATE, THEY WILL UNDOUBTEDLY CONDEMN THE PROPERTY: it is painful to me to say I have no power to appeal." It would appear that we have reached the last stage of humiliation. What! must our vessels, to be safe from capture, have passports from a Spanish consul? Are the papers of our own government treated with such marked contempt? Whether the apprehensions of captain Adams be realized or not, it will not atone for the insult which is conveyed, in making it a cause of capture and detention, that forsooth our vessels are not furnished with a Spanish consul's passport. We expect we shall have it in our power to lay before the public the result of this case, for which reason we shall delay any further remarks upon the subject.
LEXINGTON, (Kentucky) Aug. 20.
Col. Aaron Burr arrived in town last evening, from Orleans. We understand he will remain a day or two in Lexington, and then spend some time at the Olympian Springs, previous to his leaving Kentucky.
Mr. Fletcher, mate of the brig Kentucky, who has returned to this place, has politely favored us with the following information:—That whilst descending the Mississippi, in July last, the brig was boarded by two canoes of Shawnee Indians, who informed, that they had found a flat boat, which was turned bottom up; that they cut a hole through the bottom, and found two dead bodies, with several articles in her; among which was, one case of hats, one barrel of whiskey, a chest of clothes, and several books and papers. The name of John Anthony was written in the books and papers.
A treaty has been concluded in the State of Ohio with several Indian tribes, by which one million two hundred thousand acres have been ceded to the United States for an annuity of eight hundred and twenty six dollars.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7.
Two inward bound ships were captured on Monday, off the Hook, by the two British vessels of war who are now blockading this port. [New-York paper.]
From Halifax, August 13.
"On the 16th inst. three line-of-battle ships arrived here; one of 98 guns and two 74's: They belong to ad. Cochran's squadron, on the West-India station, and were damaged at sea in a hurricane, which lasted 19 hours. The 98 was in great distress."
What a pleasure it is to pay one's Debts!
It seems to flow from a combination of circumstances, each of which is productive of pleasure.
In the first place, it removes that uneasiness, which a true spirit feels from dependence and obligation. It affords pleasure to the creditor, and therefore gratifies our social affection; it promotes that future confidence, which is so very interesting to an honest mind: It opens a prospect of being readily supplied on future occasions. It leaves a consciousness of our virtue; and it is a measure we know to be right, both

ATTUMN has commenced—a season wherein remitting, intermitting, nervous fevers, and fever-and-ague are more or less prevalent: they frequently are produced by inattention.  Prudence, therefore advises, that those who are in the practice of sleeping with their windows open, to discontinue the practice; for notwithstanding some evenings may be warm, yet there is generally a great change in the air about midnight, an expo- sure to which is highly injurious. Many people are in the habit of sitting several hours after sun set without any thing to shield them from the Dew , which at this season, is unusually heavy, especially after two or three days rain; this is highly im- proper.
Change of cloaths, when the weather changes, is necessary. It is better so to do even three times a day, than be confined with sickness. Those citizens who have country seats, and are necessarily obliged to ride early and late, ought not to disre- gard this advice.
The sun is very powerful—his rays are far more sensibly felt than in July, owing to the sudden transitions from cold to heat . Frequent changes in the atmosphere debili- tate and dispose the system to disease. Fe- vers are the prevailing complaints of Au- tumn. To guard against them, avoid as much as possible standing or walking in the sun without an umbrella. Such as are in the habit of bathing should by no means expose themselves to the sun. I have seen boys of twelve and fifteen years of age at noon day, alternately in and out of the water for an hour or two together; parents should prevent their children from doing this.
(Amer. Daily Adv.)  From the REPERTORY.
PARAGRAPHIST.  A deplorable spirit of innovation has spread in our country, calculatedly, as it is in- tended by its abettors, that during the fermentation of the political cauldron the scum may rise to the top. Nothing will satisfy it but the over- turn of every valuable institution. It is a spi- rit which no exertion tires, no danger appals, and no defeat paralyzes; no shame flushes the cheeks of its supporters, and no remorse will fol- low the completion of its wicked projects. Un- less timely and effectually resisted; every thing estimable to us as an associated community will be trampled under foot. Already the work has commenced in some of our sister states. The "muttering thunder," now gather at a distance, and although we may discover but faint gleams of their explosion, it ought to be sufficient to warn us of our danger. If we at present enjoy comparative tranquility, it is but the deceptive calm that precedes the tornado, and it should admonish us to prepare for the approach of the hurricane. A corrupt and corrupting faction now threatens the very existence of our own common- wealth. Already it exults in its contemplated success, and although its exultation precedes its triumph, the consummation of its wishes may not be the more certain. In the resistance of the attacks of this Catalinian conspiracy we must bring as much strength, firmness and perseve- rance to the field as if we were the assaulting party. The defending must be encouraged, the lecture must be warned of the impending danger, the wa- vering must be confirmed in correct sentiments, the ignorant must be enlightened and the erroni- ous reclaimed. On occasions and questions like these, there should be no diversity of opinion; in times like these there can be no separate inter- ests. The fair and honorable merchant and tra- der, the industrious mechanic, and the respecta- ble farmer are mutual aids and supporters to each other; their prosperity is inseparable: they are bound together by ties which cannot be broken, without hazard to the maintenance of civilized and social life. The result of the revolutionary attempts now making in this country will deter- mine whether we can by our wisdom and our virtue render liberty stable and worth possessing.
We have received the following account of the conflagration of Detroit from an au- thentic source. It will be read with deep interest by our readers.
CONFLAGRATION OF DETROIT.  This event happened on the 11th of June last. The flames commenced about nine o'clock in the morning, and within four hours the whole town was laid in ashes. Only two or three buildings, of lit- tle value, situated in the borders were pre- served. About three hundred edifices, of
all kinds were consumed; among which were nearly an hundred dwelling houses, the church, several stores, the citadel, with officer's and the soldier's barracks, con- tractors stores, United States' stores, &c. &c. The new barracks, and fort called Lernault, a little back of the town were not greatly endangered, and the old block- house, at the south end escaped. In a word all that space enclosed within picquets, and denominated, the town, presents nothing but a heap of ruins, consisting of naked chimneys and cinders.
The rapidity of the destruction was per- haps unprecedented, but will not appear surprising to any one previously acquaint- ed with the place. The buildings were mostly old, all of wood and dry as tinder, extremely crowded together, on an area of about three acres—the streets very narrow (the widest not exceeding twenty feet) in- terserting rectangularly at small distances— and every square completely covered with combustibles. This mode of building the town, originated, not merely from want of taste in the ancient settlers, but from the necessity of defence in war, as this settle- ment has for a long time been a frontier, pecu- liarly exposed to danger from the natives, & far removed from the means of external succor. It has been found necessary, till very lately, to keep the picquets enclosing the town in good repair, besides being un- der the protection of the cannon of a neigh- boring fort and block house. The town was furnished with but 1 fire engine, which with the prompt assistance of the troops, formerly stationed here, had been sufficient to extinguish occasional fires upon their first appearance; but at present the troops on this station are few, and the want of aid from that source was severely felt on the late occasion.
By what means the fire was kindled, whether by accident or design, is uncertain —there are various conjectures, but no de- cided opinion. It began in a stable near the United States' stores on the S. West quarter, a light breeze blowing from the south. Its progress against and athwart the wind was astonishing, but in the direction of it, the blaze darted with nearly the cele- rity of lightning, and reached the oppo- site extremity of the town in a very few mo- ments. The fire in no part had diminish- ed till the whole was in a blaze, and one immense mass of flame was presented to the eye, having the appearance of proceed- ing from but one building of vast extent. The streets became impassable as the fire progressed, being filled from all sides with impenetrable columns of smoke and flame, which wafted by the current of air through the north and south streets streamed to a great distance beyond the limits of the houses. To the distant spectator and to the wretched inhabitants, who after a short lapse of time could be no more than spec- tators, the scene was at once sublime and painful, exceeding in awful grandeur, per- haps almost any spectacle of the kind which has happened since the world be- gan.
It was fortunate that the catastrophe did not take place in the night as there must have been a greater destruction of goods and effects, and unquestionably of some lives. No lives were lost, and but one person (a poor man) was badly injured. Means have been taken to ascertain correct- ly the amount of losses in property, and progress has been made so far as to place it beyond a doubt that they exceed one hun- dred and thirty thousand dollars, probably approaching near 150,000. The confla- gration took place at a time of day that the inhabitants were generally near their homes and were enabled to save more of their moveable effects than could have been ex- pected in so short a time as was allowed them; great quantities however fell a sac- rifice, and individuals, whose estates con- sisted in buildings, were in one day reduc- ed from eligible circumstances to poverty.
There is no citizen but has suffered more or less. At present, the people are scatter- ed up and down the settlement, crowding the houses even to overflowing, occupying hovels and every thing having the shape of an edifice, and several families are en- camped in booths upon the public common and the highways.
The sufferings of the people the ensuing winter must inevitably be great; we tremble to anticipate them. Hemmed in on every side by the wilderness, in some directions interminable, in others extending too great a distance to admit of being passed by an impoverished people, they are restricted to this settlement, narrow in its extent, with indifferent cultivations, and the hous- es in bad repair. Not a farm is cultivated one mile from the river bank, nor a build- ing erected. There the wilderness com- mences which extends to the western ocean. The settlement up and down the bank of the river is but a few miles in ex-
tent, and taken up by farmers, who have no room to spare in their dwellings and raise barely a sufficiency for the supply of their own wants. The houseless sufferers have little time, and still less means, to provide new accommodations for them- selves before the approach of the cold sea- son. Provisions of every kind are at an excessively high price. Thus circumstanc- ed, what can be before these miserable peo- ple but a winter of rigorous suffering! If credit and charity should furnish them with food, yet there cannot be shelter and covering sufficient for their comfort. Ap- plications for relief are sent and sending to various parts of the United States, and of Canada, which it is hoped and believed will not be sent in vain. We have lively expectations, founded on the tried and known benevolence of the people of both countries towards their fellow-citizens in cases of similar calamity; and a more dis- tressful case, it is presumed, has rarely been submitted to their benevolent consi- deration.
In a distant and remote point of view, the conflagration of this town may be con- sidered not unlike that which has happened to some other towns, whose first construc- tion was unfavorable to convenience and health: it may ultimately be beneficial, al- though at present so highly afflicting and deplorable. A plan is already devised and applied to the former site of the town, which by extending it, and widening the streets, giving them different directions, providing public squares, &c. it is conceiv- ed will promote the health and convenience of the inhabitants, as well as improve the beauty of the place. The plan is nearly that of the city of Washington.

Rich Kanahwa Bottom Lands, for Sale or Exchange.
THE subscriber offers for sale, or exchange, for lands or other real property on the east side of the Blue- Ridge, about 7000 acres of RICH BOTTOM LAND, on the Great Kanahwa River, and on both sides there- of opposite and below the mouth of Poketolico Creek, in the state of Virginia, 25 miles from Point Pleasant, [the county town of Mason county] and 12 miles from the county town of Kanahwa county, and adjoining the lands of the late General Washington. They were sur- veyed at the same time with those lands in the year 1772, and are held under the same titles, viz. Old Military Rights—which are unquestionable.  The lands are of the very first quality, the Bottoms in many places a mile wide, they have been lately re- surveyed and divided into lots containing from 150 to 350 acres each, for the accommodation of purchasers, each lot fronting on the river, and extending back from thence to the hills, which afford a most extensive range for stock, which can never be interrupted. One hundred acres therefore of this rich bottom, with its advantages would make a good settlement. The great [Virginia] road leading to the states of Ohio and Kentucky, passes by and through these lands, which being on a fine navigable river will command a ready and high price for the produce to the emigrants to the western country both by land and water. Their situation, besides, gives their occupants choice of the eastern or western markets, as produce may be found most profitable. The climate is mild and remarkably favorable to the production of fruit. Salt-works are erected on the banks of the river but a few miles above these lands, and the neighborhood furnishes abundance of iron, coal, limestone, mills and mill-seats; so that there is no part of the western country which holds out more advantages to persons desirous of emigrating.  A more particular description of these lands, with plots of the several lots, their situation, description and price, may be had by application in Alexandria, to Mr. WILLIAM CRAIK, who attended the surveying of them, or to the subscriber.

John Benson. Montgomery County, near the Mouth of Monocacy, Aug. 14. 1806

A meeting of the TRUSTEES of the POOR and WORK-HOUSE, at the Council Cham- ber—present—
JONAH THOMPSON, HENRY ROSE, ANDREW JAMIESON, JONATHAN SWIFT, EMMA JANNEY, ABRAHAM HEWES.
When Henry Rose, Elisha C. Dick, William H. Washington, and Thomas Semms, were appointed Physicians to the Alexandria Dispensary, and Jesse Talbot, Apothecary.
The poor, in every situation, and more immediately at the time when they are confined by sickness, have a peculiar claim upon the benevolence of those whose circumstances enable them to administer to their wants.
No institution promises so perfectly to ensure their relief in this place as a Dispensary.
The Poor-House receives those who are among the most destitute and are deprived of every domestic accommodation. A Dispensary provides assistance for that description of poor, who, when deprived by disease, of the earnings of their daily labor, are also deprived of the means of procuring the assistance necessary for their relief.
The mechanic, who cannot without great inconvenience leave his family to reside in the Poor-House—the mother, who cannot be separated from her children—the tender infant, who requires the constant care and assistance of a fond parent—those who labor under diseases of a protracted description and are thence improper objects for the Poor-House, are the peculiar objects of this institution.
The benefits arising from an establishment of this sort, by which the poor are relieved at their own habitations, require no illustration.
Its utility has been long experienced and acknowledged in every city, where the population of which is not greater than that of Alexandria.
For the purpose of affording convenience to the sick, two of the physicians appointed are residents of the northern, and two of the southern districts.
The regulations which have been adopted for the government of the institution, are herewith submitted to the consideration of the public.
As the present funds of the Dispensary are insufficient to carry into full operation all the objects of the institution.
The Trustees feel the strongest assurances, that the liberality of their fellow-citizens will enable them to perfect an establishment, which has every claim upon their charity.
Rules and Regulations for the government of the ALEXANDRIA DISPENSARY.
There shall be four attending Physicians and an Apothecary elected by the Trustees of the Dispensary, annually.
One division of the city into two districts. The first district to embrace all that part of the city which lies northward of the centre of the range of squares comprehended between King and Prince streets.
The second district to embrace all that other part which lies south of the said dividing line.
Duties of the Physicians.
The times of attendance at the Dispensary for the purpose of receiving applications and of prescribing for the sick, shall be from twelve to one o'clock on every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, from the first of Nov. to the first of Aug. and on every day (Sundays excepted) at the same house from the 1st of Aug. to the 1st of Nov. but such patients whose cases render them unable to attend at the Dispensary, shall regularly be visited at their respective places of abode: one physician shall be sufficient to attend at a time on ordinary occasions, and they shall so arrange themselves as to bestow an equal and just rotation of service, but they shall hold consultation on every case that may require it. The attending physician, for the time being, shall also visit such of the sick as cannot attend the Dispensary, in whatever part of the city they may reside, except for the months of August, September and October; and during this period they shall so class themselves as to bestow a duplicate attention to this part of their duty.
Should indisposition, or any other reasonable cause prevent a physician from attending to the duties of the Dispensary, he shall request the attendance of one of the physicians of the institution.
The pupils of the attending physicians shall have the privilege of attending the patients with them, but in no case whatsoever are permitted to prescribe.
Duties of the Apothecary.
The Apothecary shall attend at the Dispensary from 12 to 2 o'clock on prescribing days—he shall receive the permits which may be given to the sick by the Trustees of the poor, and shall file the same—he shall register, in a book, the patients under care, the nature of the disease, the time of admission, and when discharged—whether cured, relieved, or dead—he shall prepare and compound the medicines prescribed by the physicians, he shall deliver them to the patients together with plain written directions for taking them—he shall keep an inventory of all the utensils, surgical instruments, and all other property belonging to the said Dispensary, and shall be accountable for the same—he shall keep a regular account of all the medicines, instruments, &c. purchased or furnished by him, by the directions of the Trustees.

The following Valuable Medicines: Dr. Rawson's Anti-Bilious and Stomachal Bitters.
PREPARED BY THOMAS H. RAWSON, Member of the Connecticut Medical Society.
THESE Bitters have undoubtedly had the most rapid sale of any Patent Medicine ever before discovered, and are justly appreciated for their singular and uncommon virtues for restoring weak and decayed constitutions, and all that train of complicated complaints so common in the spring and fall seasons, such as intermitting Fevers and Agues, long Autumnal Fevers, Intermittent Fevers, &c. They are also a very pleasant bitter for common use, and where they are known they have taken the place and superseded the use of all other bitters in public houses as well as private families.—Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Lee's (Windham) Biliary Pills. THE great sale and increasing demand for these valuable pills for these twelve years past, bespeak their intrinsic worth. They have proved singularly efficacious in Biliary and Yellow Jaundice, Jaundice, Head aches, Dyspepsia, Bilious Cholick, Colic, Nephritis, Female complaints, &c.
The very great demand and high esteem in which these pills are held throughout the United States and the West Indies, has induced many to counterfeit them; the purchaser is requested to observe that the name of Samuel Lee, Jun. (the patentee) is affixed to each bill of directions, in his own hand writing, or they will not be genuine. Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Itch Ointment.
A certain and safe application for the disagreeable complaint called the ITCH. Price 41 cents a box.

The extraordinary celebrity these pills have gained, the universal demand for them and esteem in which they are held by medical men of the first eminence, are sufficient testimonials of their intrinsic worth. In great colics and sudden attack of disorders, an early use of these pills often produces the happiest effects, and taken once in eight or ten days in cases of indigestion, headaches, dizziness, pains in the stomach and bowels, dyspepsia, diarrhoeas, droppies, &c. and a liberal use of my anti-bilious bitters in the intermediate time has relieved patients almost to a miracle—price 25 cents a box.
