FROM THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
THOMAS PAINE.
To the citizens of the United States.
LETTER THE THIRD.
To elect and to reject, is the prerogative of a free people.
Since the establishment of Independence no period has arrived that so decidedly proves the excellence of the representative system of Government, and its superiority over every other, as the time we now live in. Had America been cursed with John Adams's hereditary Monarchy , or Alexander Hamilton's Senate for life , she must have sought, in the doubtful contest of civil War, what she now obtains by the expression of the public will. An appeal to elections decides better than an appeal to the sword.
The reign of terror that raged in America during the latter time of the Washington Administration, and the whole of that of Adams, is enveloped in mystery to me. That there were men in the government hostile to the representative system, though it is now their overthrow, was once their boast, and therefore, the fact is established against them. But that so large a mass of the people should become the dupes of those who were loading them with taxes, in order to load them with chains, and deprive them of the right of election, can be ascribed only to that species of wildfire rage, lighted up by falsehood, that not only acts without reflection, but is two impetuous to make any.
There is a general and striking difference between the genuine effects of truth itself, and the effects of falsehood believed to be truth. Truth is naturally benign; but falsehood believed to be truth is always furious. The former delights in serenity, is mild and persuasive, and seeks not the auxiliary aid of invention. The latter sticks at nothing. It has naturally no morals. Every lie is welcome that suits its purpose. It is the innate character of the thing to act in this manner, and the criterion by which it may be known whether in politics or religion. When any thing is attempted to be supported by lying, it is presumptive evidence that the thing so supported is a lie also. The stock on which a lie can be engrafted must be of the same species as the graft.
What is become of the mighty clamour about French invasions, and the cry that our country is in danger and taxes and armies must be raised to defend it? The danger is fled with the faction that created it, and what is worst of all the money is fled too. It is I only that have committed the hostility of invasion, and all the artillery of pop-guns are prepared for action. Poor fellows , how they foam! They set half their own partizans in laughter; for among ridiculous things nothing is more ridiculous than ridiculous rage. But I hope they will not leave off. I shall lose half my greatness when they cease to lie.
So far as respects myself I have reason to believe and a right to say, that the leaders of the reign of terror in America, and the leaders of the reign of terror in France, during the time of Robespierre, were in character the same sort of men, or how is it to be accounted for, that I was persecuted by both at the same time. When I was voted out of the French Convention the reason assigned for it was, that I was a foreigner. When Robespierre had me seized in the night and imprisoned in the Luxemburg (where I remained eleven months) he assigned no reason for it. But when he proposed bringing me to the tribunal, which was like sending me at once to the scaffold, he then assigned a reason, and the reason was " for the interest of America as well as of France ," — Pour l'interet de l'Amérique autant que de la France . The words are in his own hand writing and reported to the Convention by the committee appointed to examine his papers, and are printed in their report, with this reflection added to them, " Why Thomas Paine more than another? because he contributed to the liberty of both worlds ."
There must have been a coalition in sentiment, if not in fact, between the terrorists of America & the terrorists of France, and Robespierre must have known it, or he could not have had the idea of putting America into the bill of accusation against me. Yet these men, these terrorists of the new world, who were waiting in the devotion of their hearts for the joyful rews of my destruction, are the same banditti who are now bellowing, in all the hach-
neyed language of hachneyed hypocrisy, about humanity, and piety, and often about something they call infidelity, and they finish with the chorus of crucify him, crucify him . I am become so famous among them they cannot eat or drink without me. I serve them as a standing dish, and they cannot make up a bill of fare if I am not in it.
But there is one diff., and that the choicest of all, they have not yet preferred on the table, and it is time they should. They have not yet accused previdence of infidelity . Yet according to their outrageous piety, she must be as bad as Thomas Paine; she has protected him in all his dangers, patronised him in all his undertakings, encouraged him in all his ways, and rewarded him at last by bringing him in safety and in health to the promised land. This is more than she did by the Jews, the chosen people, that they tell us she brought out of the land of Egypt and out of the house of bondage; for they all died in the wilderness and Moses too.
I was one of the nine members that composed the first committee of Constitution. Six of them have been destroyed. Seyies and myself have survived. He by bending with the times and I by not bending. The other survivor joined Robespierre and signed with him the warrant for my arrestation. After the fall of Robespierre he was seized and imprisoned in his turn and sentenced to transportation. He has since apologised to me for having signed the warrant, by saying, he felt himself in danger and was obliged to do it.
Heraut Sechelles, an acquaintance of Mr. Jefferson and a good patriot, was my suppliant as member of the committee of constitution, that is, he was to supply my place, if I had not accepted or resigned, being next in number of votes to me. He was imprisoned in the Luxemburg with me, was taken to the tribunal and the Guillotine, and I, his principal, was left.
There were but two foreigners in the Convention, Anarcharsis Cloots and myself. We were both put out of the Convention by the same vote, arrested by the same order, and carried to prison together the same night. He was taken to the Guillotine and I was again left. Joel Barlow was with us when we went to prison.
Joseph Lebon, one of the vilest characters that ever existed, and who made the streets of Arras run with blood, was my suppliant as member of the Convention for the department of the Pas de Calais . When I was put out of the Convention he came and took my place. When I was liberated from prison and voted again into the Convention, he was sent to the same prison and took my place there, and he went to the Guillotine instead of me. He supplied my place all the way through.
One hundred and sixty eight persons were taken out of the Luxemburg in one night, and a hundred and sixty of them Guillotined the next day, of which I now know I was to have been one; and the manner I escaped that fate is curious and has all the appearance of accident.
The room in which I was lodged was on the ground floor, and one of a long range of rooms under a gallery, and the door of it opened outward and flat against the wall; so that when it was open the inside of the door appeared outward, and the contrary when it was shut. I had three comrades, fellow prisoners with me, Joseph Vanhuile of Bruges, since President of the municipality of that town, Michael Robbins and Bassini of Lovain.
When persons by scores and by hundreds were to be taken out of prison for the Guillotine it was always done in the night, and those who performed that office had a private mark or signal by which they knew what rooms to go to and what number to take. We, as I have said, were four, and the door of our room was marked, unobserved by us, with that number in chalk; but it happened, if happening is a proper word, that the mark was put on when the door was open and flat against the wall, and thereby came on the inside when we shut it at night, and the destroying angel passed by it. A few days after this Robespierre fell and Mr. Monroe arrived and reclaimed me, and invited me to his house.
During the whole of my imprisonment, prior to the fall of Robespierre, there was no time when I could think my life worth twenty-four hours, and my mind was made up to meet its fate. The Ameri-
cans in Paris went in a body to the Convention to reclaim me, but without success. There was no party among them with respect to me. My only hope then rested on the Government of America that it would remember me . But the icy heart of ingratitude, in whatever man it be placed, has neither feeling nor sense of honor. The letter of Mr. Jefferson has served to wipe away the reproach and done justice to the mass of the people of America.
When a party was forming in the latter end of seventy-seven and beginning of seventy-eight, of which John Adams was one, to remove Mr. Washington from the command of the army, on the complaint that he did nothing , I wrote the fifth number of the Crisis and published it at Lancaster (Congress being then at Yorktown in Pennsylvania) to ward off that meditated blow; for though I well know that the black times of seventy-six was natural consequence of this want of military judgment in the choice of positions into which the army was put about New-York & Jersey I could see no possible advantage, and nothing but mischief, that could arise by distracting the army into parties, which would have been the case had the intended motion gone on.
General Lee, who with a sarcastic genius joined a great fund of military knowledge, was perfectly right when he said, We have no business on islands, and in the bottom of bogs where the enemy, by the aid of its ships, can bring its whole force against a part of ours and shut it up . This had like to have been the case at New-York, and was the case at fort Washington, and would have been the case at fort Lee, if General Greene had not moved instantly off on the first news of the enemy's approach. I was with Greene through the whole of that affair, and know it perfectly.
But though I came forward in defence of Mr. Washington when he was attacked, and made the best that could be made of a series of blunders that had nearly ruined the country, he left me to perish when I was in prison. But as I told him of it in his life time, I should not now bring it up, if the ignorant impertinence of some of the federal papers, who are pushing Mr. Washington forward as their stalking-horse, did not make it necessary.
That gentleman did not perform his part in the revolution better, nor with more honor than I did mine, and the one part was then as necessary as the other. He accepted as a present (though he was already rich) a hundred thousand acres of land in America, and left me to occupy six feet of earth in France. I wish, for his own reputation, he had acted with more justice. But it was always known of Mr. Washington, by those who best knew him, that he was of such an icy and death-like constitution, that he neither loved his friends nor hated his enemies. But, be this as it may, I see no reason that a difference between Mr. Washington and me should be made a theme of discord with other people. There are those who may see merit in both, without making themselves partizans of either, and with this reflection I close the subject.
As to the hypocritical abuse thrown out by the federalists on other subjects, I recommend to them the observance of a commandment that existed before either Christian or Jew existed.
"Thou shalt make a covenant with thy senses.
"With thine eye, that it beholds no evil.
"With thine ear, that it hears no evil.
"With thy tongue, that speaks no evil.
"With thy hands, that they commit no evil."
If the federalists will follow this commandment, they will leave off lying.
THOMAS PAINE.
Federal City, Lovell's Hotel, Nov. 26, 1802. }
ANSWER.
Of the General Assembly of Vermont to the Governor's Speech.
SIR,
WE have heard your Excellency's patriotic address with much satisfaction. We most sincerely wish, that the just and generous feelings, by which you are actuated, may not only pervade the Legislature, but every other branch of the government. We are properly impressed with the weighty trust of appointing the

public functionaries. In our execution of that duty, we shall endeavour to adhere to those maxims of propriety which you have so forcibly inculcated in the beautiful language of elegant simplicity. We, with you, Sir, most sincerely lament the progress of PARTY SPIRIT. True it is, and with sorrow we do acknowledge, that the moderate, the wise, the prudent WASHINGTON, with all his great and good qualities did not escape from the tongue of slander. Endeavours also have been made at no distant period, to envelope in a cloud of black detraction those patriotic exertions of an ADAMS, so highly auspicious, and evidently serviceable at an early period of our Revolution, in an hour of extreme weakness, before even we had arrived at the years of political manhood. But the animadversions on the administration of our present Chief Magistrate—our mild, our serene, our benevolent JEFFERSON, have been cloathed in language and charged with peculiar & unprecedented venom. The purity of his motives, the applause he receives from the great majority of his fellow citizens, however sweeten his injured feelings and create in his heart a generous and beneficent compassion for his revilers.
Whilst we do not all embrace the same political sentiments, we unanimously deplore this increasing party spirit—this vehement zeal, which tends to inflame the passions, and misguide the judgment.
We unite in our wishes, that every error in Government may be strictly watched and publicly analysed, not in the indecorous phrase of contumelious slander, but in that pure and chaste language, by which, and which alone, the page of argument can be adorned, or conviction enforced on the honest, intelligent and inquisitive mind.
We are sensible that our interest & safety, as a state, are involved in our Federal connection with our sister states, and we will unite most cordially, in every measure which tends to strengthen the union, and augment the dignity of the United States.
In the new arrangement necessary to be made respecting the choice of Representatives to Congress, that strict regard shall be had to the interest and convenience of the electors, which the importance of the subject requires.
We, with heart felt pleasure, Sir, embrace this opportunity of assuring you that we view your unremitted attention to the discipline of our brave and Meritorious Militia, as a strong additional proof of that parental solicitude care with which you have constantly watched over the interests of this State. The propriety of extending the public patronage, in providing them with fire arms and field artillery, as far as circumstances will permit, shall be made the subject of early discussions.
The flourishing state of our Schools and Colleges cannot fail of giving high satisfaction to the Legislature of a people, who maintains as a primary article of their political creed, that Science and virtue are the corner stones of a Republican Government.
We shall be ready to receive any other communication from your Excellency which you may be pleased to lay before us, hoping that all our public acts may conduce to the best interests of the state, and that you may receive all that satisfaction, in your high office, which does result, and can alone result from the consciousness of being the principal labourer for the common good.
BURLINGTON, November 4.
In our last week's paper we published the answer of the General Assembly to his Excellency the Governor's speech. The propositions of amendment to the same, when before the House, were not stated. It has been requested of us to remark, that an amendment was proposed to strike out the whole of what might be deemed a PARTY BUSINESS, and to substitute a more general address. The motion being lost, it was also proposed to strike out what related to Mr. Adams; this was lost—87 to 92. Similar propositions were made on the article respecting Mr. Jefferson, in whole, and afterwards in part; but every amendment proposed was negatived.
The answer to the Speech, as reported by the Committee, having been resolved on, and carried; the following PROTEST has since been entered on the Journal, with the signature of a great part of the minority.
WE, the undersigned Members of the House of Representatives of the Freemen of the State of Vermont, having voted in
the negative, upon the question of the answer of his Excellency the Governor's Address to the Council and this House, do, in pursuance of our constitutional right, insert the following reasons for our votes, upon the minutes of the Journals.
1st. Because, in the fourth and fifth paragraphs of the answer, the majority have expressed sentiments upon characters and subjects, to which the Address of his Excellency has no relation, and favours  strongly of that party spirit, which it was the design of his Excellency's address to discourage and allay; and which, it has been the united endeavours of the undersigned, through the progress of the debate, to moderate and assuage.
2dly. Because the fifth paragraph, under the mask of flattery, contains an insidious attack upon the official conduct of John Adams, late President of the United States, whose administration of the federal government, we highly approve, and whose retirement into private life, if it cannot restrain the malignity of individuals, ought, at least, to have secured him from legislative censure.
3dly. Because in the sixth paragraph, fulsome adulation is bestowed on Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States, highly unbecoming a dignified Assembly of the representatives of a free people to offer, or the chief Magistrate of a great nation to receive without sensations of disgust. And because the answer to the Address, in the same paragraph asserts that "the purity of the motives, and the applause which the President of the United States receives from the great majority of his fellow-citizens, must sweeten his injured feelings, and create in his heart a generous compassion for his revilers;" when we cannot know the purity of his motives, or that he now receives the applause of the great majority of his fellow-citizens; or what effect such applause might have to sweeten his injured feelings; nor has his public conduct afforded any evidence of such compassion for his revilers; and because it is highly improper to offer this consolation to the President of the union, in a reply to the Governor's Address, which does not point to the subject.
4thly. Because the language of the Answer is peurile, feeble and totally inconsistent with that dignity of style, becoming a legislative assembly.
5thly. Because the answer compliments his Excellency upon his style, when it should have approved his official conduct, and adopted expressions which might have been pardonable, but ought to have been corrected in a youth in the first classes of education.
6thly. Because the expressions of "beautiful language," "elegant simplicity," "black detraction," "contumelious slander," "our mild, our serene, our benevolent, and "page of argument," are as strong instances of a violation of rhetorical propriety, as the sentiments of the answer are an infringement of legislative decorum; and lest the impropriety of the sentiments, the imbecility and boldness of the language, and the grammatical inaccuracies, of the reply to his Excellency's speech should be imputed to us, individually, and the party zeal which it tends manifestly to excite among our fellow citizens, be charged upon us by our constituents, we do exercise our right in thus publicly protesting against the same. And altho' we are unhappily in a minority, we console ourselves in the reflection that we have in vain proposed conciliatory amendments, combated the zeal of party with moderation, and the perverseness of power with that charity which suffereth long and is kind; and we doubt not that we shall meet the applause of our constituents, and the approbation of men of discernment, science, virtue and literary taste.
NEW-YORK, Nov. 26.
French evacuated St. Domingo.
Mr. Bassett, owner of the ship Ceres , arrived here yesterday from Jamaica, informs us that the day before he failed, news had been received there, by American vessels that the French troops had evacuated the different fortified places of St. Domingo, in consequence of the formidable opposition of the Blacks; and had gone to the Island of Tortuda, to wait for reinforcements. This information was generally believed at Kingston; at which port nearly thirty sail of American vessels had recently arrived from the different ports of that Island.
The Kingston Daily Advertiser of the 1st inst. contains an extract from the Bar-
badoes Mercury of the 19th October, relative to Martinique. Which states, that late accounts from Martinique represent the French as adopting the most shocking acts of revenge against the free coloured people there, many of whom have been wantonly murdered, and their bodies found in the streets in the morning. They seem also still to feel some resentment against the British, all of whom remaining there are compelled to take oaths of allegiance to the Republic or quit the country within six weeks; and no English vessels is allowed to lay off the harbor longer than six hours. The accounts before stated of the French troops being very unhealthy, is confirmed by the following articles from the St. Vincents Gazette of the 9th October.
"Accounts from Martinique state that upwards of 100 of the French troops have died of the fever, and the hospitals filled with the sick. The prefect has given notice to the English merchants to desist from doing business, and to leave the island in six weeks unless they take the oath of allegiance."

MELANCHOLY NEWS FROM CAPE FRANCOIS.
Capt. Appleton arrived here yesterday in the brig Polly , 35 days from Cape Francois, has furnished us with the following distressing intelligence from that ill-fated colony: He states, that Port-de-Paix, had been burnt and pillaged by the blacks, and many of the white inhabitants murdered; that Aux Cayes was closely besieged, and it was expected would share the same fate; that a severe action was fought on the 14th Oct. at a short distance from the Cape in which the blacks were victorious; at which time a fort was taken, just without the town, the artillery taken out, and the magazine blown up; that on the evening previous to this engagement, a black General, with 1500 men, deserted Le Clerc's army and joined their former companions in arms; and that it was expected Christophe would follow the same example; that the force of the blacks was upwards of 15000 men, and that the army of Le Clerc had been reduced by loss and sickness to 4000; that the French General, who was then without the Cape with his whole force, fearing his ability to protect the town, had sent orders for the sick and wounded to be removed from thence, and given permission for the women and children to depart; that all the valuable effects of the army and of the citizens were removing on board
the fleet; and that the city was in hourly expectation of being besieged; that business of every kind was suspended, and the inhabitants in the utmost terror and consternation. The acting American Consul, (Mr. Dodge) had embarked on board a vessel bound to Portsmouth. The American shipping were embargoed, and ordered off the bar; and the French ships of war placed in a situation to annoy the besiegers. A number of Americans who volunteered their services, and others, compelled to serve, were in the action of the 14th of which several were killed and wounded.
To this account, capt. Appleton adds, that a few hours previous to his sailing, he was informed, by the Proprietor of the American Coffee-House, of a report being in circulation, that an armistice had taken place between Le Clerc, and the Black General in Chief, which stipulated that the French troops should leave the Island within three days.

NEW JERSEY.
Extract of a letter to the editor, dated, Trenton, Nov. 25, 1802.
"This afternoon, at 3 o'clock, a joint meeting of the two houses of the legislature took place in the assembly room.—For the office of governor three candidates were in nomination, viz:
Joseph Bloomfield, } Richard Stockton, } Esquires. Aaron Ogden, }
"On the first trial, an equal number of votes were given for Mr. Bloomfield and Mr. Stockton; on a second attempt, the votes were equally divided between Mr. Bloomfield and Mr. Ogden. Finding no probability of accomplishing the choice of a governor, the joint meeting agreed to relinquish the object. The vice-president still holds, and probably will continue during the year to hold, the office and attributes of governor.
"The joint meeting next proceeded to the appointment of a clerk of the supreme court. Mr. Linn and Col. Rhea were candidates, the latter was elected—33 to 19.
"The joint meeting next proceeded to the appointment of a treasurer, James Saltar was unanimously re-elected.
"The appointment of a clerk of the county of Essex was postponed, (by the casting vote of Dr. Scudder,) on the plea urged by Mr. Frelinghuysen, that the law of the last legislature which took the clerk's office from Col. Ogden, was unconstitutional, and that no appointment ought to be made under it until the supreme court, before whom the question now is, should decide on its constitutionality."

Dr. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obsolete Coughs, Asthma, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and Approaching Consumptions.
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 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 colds, coughs, or similar complaints have rendered medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breath, accompanied with hoarseness 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 Henry, 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 his 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 disordered 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 hygienics, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of Nervous disorders, Consumption, Looseness of spirits, Loss of appetite, Impurity of the blood, Hysterical affections, Inward weakness, Seminal weakness, Fluor albus, (or whites) Barrenness.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE and EXTRACT of MUSTARD,
A safe and effectual remedy for gout, rheumatism, palsy, spasms, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. And has performed more cures in the above complaints than all the other medicines ever before made public.
From Dr. Weatherburn, Wythe county, Virginia.
Gentlemen,
I purchased at your shop the preparations you call Hamilton's Essence, or Extract of Mustard, which I believe has perfectly removed a chronic rheumatism (of that kind named scatica, 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 such as follows, namely that his wife, Mary Hoover, was so severely afflicted with a violent rheumatism, very dangerously situated, the consequence of a fever 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 Teres or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small narrow worm, the Cucurbitina, or short, flat, white worm, and Liti, the Tania, or tape worm, so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and is full of joints—It is most hurtful, and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted gums—Itching in the nose and about the seat—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Starting and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purging, 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.
CASES OF CURES.
(Selected from thousands) the authenticity of which any person may ascertain, either by letter or personal application.
TAPE WORM.
Mr. SAMUEL FULLER. Inn-keeper, on the Hartford 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 appearances 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 sickly appearance, was very restless at night, grew leaner from time to time; in short, he seemed to be in a precarious state of health, which would yield to none of the medicines administered, until I gave him two doses of lozenges agreeably to the directions, which carried off a substance to all appearance a mucus, but upon close inspection quite a reptile with very small living animal. Not one of the
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 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.
