He commonly wears ear-rings. He took with him a variety of good cloathing, a description of which is unneces- sary, as it is probable he has changed them. He has been frequently seen about town since he ab- sconded, and in all probability is now secreted by his mother, Winney Brown, formerly the slave of Mr. JOHN MUIR, late of this town, but now said to be free.

CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
THURSDAY, January 5.
DEBATE
On Mr. Randolph's motion for the appointment of a committee of enquiry into the official conduct of SAMUEL CHASE.
(Continued.)
Mr. Dennis. The only question now before the house is whether they will postpone the consideration of the motion on the table. I cannot but express my surprise that the gentleman from Virginia should oppose this motion, when several gentlemen have declared that they are not prepared to vote on his resolution. Gentlemen ought to recollect that, according to our rules, on all motions which require the concurrence of the two houses, one day's delay is necessary. Although this resolution is not of this kind, yet it surely is not of inferior importance.
I believe that the gentleman alluded to by the motion would rather court, than shrink from an investigation of his official conduct. I believe also that it has become necessary from the discussion of this day that an investigation should take place. I am not therefore prepared at this time to say whether I shall not ultimately vote for an enquiry. But it appears to me that the course proposed is inverting the natural order of things, inasmuch as it institutes an enquiry not growing out of facts, but for facts. I believe also that the facts stated, if authenticated, will furnish no ground for impeachment. Circumstances attending his motion shew that the gentleman from Virginia does not consider them as a sufficient ground for impeachment. The refusal to hear the point of law discussed was the act of the court. Mr. Chase did not sit alone on the bench. Another judge must have been associated with and have concurred with him. If so why does not the resolution allude to the other judge? Why select one judge when both are equally implicated in the charges?
I believe the most parliamentary way would be for a gentleman to state in the form of a resolution the grounds of impeachment, and then to refer such a resolution to a select committee for investigation. In this mode the house may correctly institute an enquiry and send for persons and papers. This is the only parliamentary mode of proceeding. In every case where impeachments have been made the facts have been stated in a resolution concluding with a motion for an impeachment. The house possesses no censorial power over the judges, except as incidental to the power of impeachment. If gentlemen are possessed of facts, why not state them in the form of a resolution, and move an impeachment, I would not object to their going to a select committee, though I believe the most proper course would be for the House to send for persons and papers, and to examine for themselves. But it is extremely novel and unprecedented for the house, without facts, to institute an enquiry into the character of a high officer of government.
May they not in the same way extend their enquiry into the conduct of every judge in the United States, without stating any facts on which the enquiry is founded? For these reasons I shall vote for postponing the farther consideration of this motion for one day, on account of the importance and delicacy of the subject, and the serious deliberation it is entitled to. I do not know whether, if sufficient time is allowed for consideration, and I shall be convinced that this course is consistent with parliamentary usage, I shall not be in favor of an investigation.
Mr. Elliot. When the Yeas and Nays are called, I shall on every occasion rise in favor of taking them. I wish the votes I give in this House entered on the journal, and known to every citizen in America. The more I contemplate the course pursued on this occasion, the more extraordinary and unprecedented it appears to me. The gentleman from Virginia rose, and after an elegant exordium, stating that the streams of justice should be preserved pure, and other fine things, told us that he had received information of facts that convinced his mind, that an enquiry ought to be made into the conduct of a judge. Suppose the gentleman on facts known to himself, had stated his opinion that an enquiry ought to be made into the conduct of the president of the United States. We have the
same right to impeach the president as a judge. If the enquiry would be improper in the one instance without facts being adduced, it would be equally so in the other. For we possess no censorial or inquisitorial powers over the conduct of the judges of the Supreme Court. If judge Chase has been guilty of misconduct, let it be stated. If that misconduct be of a private nature let the House assume the character of a grand jury, hold private sittings, receive evidence, and determine whether the judge shall be impeached or not. The gentleman asks, whether a grand jury in the case of a charge of murder can send for persons. Undoubtedly they can; but did the gentleman ever hear of their appointing a committee to enquire, whether a man charged with a partial offence ought to be indicted? We are called on as the grand inquisitors of the nation, to appoint an inquisitorial committee to get evidence; for it is granted that as yet we have none. I believe that no committee of this nature ought to be constituted without previously ascertaining facts that will warrant the delegation of such great powers. No accusation is before us. But we are called upon to appoint a committee to look one up; a committee to be invested with a power to send for persons and papers; a committee to enquire in private. I will never consent to the appointment of such a committee, until facts that will justify the enquiry are stated.
The facts adduced to by the gentleman from Pennsylvania, if proved could not induce me to believe that the judge is impeachable. I may suspect that his conduct was erroneous and improper, but I cannot conceive it proper to impeach a single judge for an act of the court. Believing, therefore, this course unprecedented, unparliamentary, and replete with improprieties; believing it novel; believing that in affair of so much consequence we ought not to proceed with precipitation; believing that we are entitled to demand one day to reflect upon it, I am proud on this occasion to record my vote in favor of the postponement until to-morrow; and if it were for a week, I should with equal pride and pleasure vote for it.
Mr. Holland moved an adjournment.
Mr. J. Randolph said, that considering a motion to adjourn equivalent to a postponement for a day, he moved the taking of the Yeas and Nays on it.
The question of adjournment was accordingly taken by the Yeas and Nays, and passed in the negative,—Yeas 52—Nays 62.
The question of postponement recurring.
Mr. Huger considered the course contemplated by the resolution as improper, unparliamentary and unprecedented. To make up his mind on the course proper to be pursued, he was in favor of the postponement.
Mr. Holland observed, that he had moved an adjournment to allow those gentlemen time for reflection who had not made up their minds on the propriety of the motion. He was himself of this number. Having been allowed no time for reflection he did not feel perfectly satisfied with the appointment of a committee of enquiry before any facts had been substantiated. Desiring further time to form his judgment and seeing no occasion for precipitation he should vote in favor of a postponement.
(To be Continued.)
BOSTON, April 24.
Sloop Julia, Somes, arrived at Gloucester on Thursday last in thirty days from Jacquemel. Left, brig Telemachus, Fairfield; Swift Packet, Cartwright, Newburyport; schr. Chance Smith, Baltimore; sloop —, Flag, Charleston; schr. —, Stamen; brig Norfolk, Baltimore; John and Joseph, Ronown—Sailed in Co. schr. Swallow, Waters, Salem; Joseph, Lurvey, Newburyport.
Captain Somes sailed from Gloucester for Jacquemel, on the 14th of December last. On the 3d of January near Cape Jacquemel, was brought too by a French privateer, from which several muskets were fired. The Frenchman sent a boat on board the Julia, and took possession of her, and sent captain S. and the whole of the crew, (4 men) on board the privateer. The captain of the cruiser took all the sloop's papers from her commander, and told him his vessel was a good prize, and should be sent to the city of St. Domingo. The privateersmen immediately proceeded to plunder the Julia, of cheese, butter, candles, soap &c. Capt. Somes was returned on board his vessel, where he found six men and a boy having charge of her; who soon afterwards made sail with the vessel on their way to St. Domingo; and in a few hours separated from the privateer. On the ninth of January at 4 P. M. the sloop was anchored under a battery upon the coast of the Spanish part of Hispaniola. While in this situation the prize master ordered the boat
out, and all the day 200. with a quantity of soap, cheese, butter, &c. and the cloaines of the American seamen, (capt. S. had been previously robbed of his clothes which had been taken on board the privateer,) to be put into her and carried on shore, which was done. At six, the boat returned and brought a keg of rum; and then said was made again for St. Domingo.
On the 10th of Jan. at 4 P. M. the sloop was again anchored, and the privateersmen then drank immoderately of Rum, and were soon afterwards drunk, and fell asleep. Captain Somes, judged that there was a chance of retaking the vessel. He accordingly proceeded to tie the Frenchmen; which he did without awakening them, except the last, a negro, who started and seized captain S. but was silenced with the pump handle. They were all put into the boat, and sent ashore, the boy being previously united. Captain S. then made sail on his vessel. The boy liberated the priv. seamen, and they made an effectual attempt to regain the vessel. January 11, sp ke Schooner Resolution, Jutton, of New London, for Turk's Island, and obtained two men and some necessaries of her. On the 13th of January saw the same privateer which had captured the sloop, but fortunately got into Jacquemel. On her return passage the Julia sailed from Jacquemel in co. with two Salem vessels, and continued in co. until they arrived off Cape Antonio, when they fell in with three French Cruizers, a sloop, schooner and a ship. Captain S. presuming the ship was not French, bore away for her protection from the others; but was convinced of his mistake on coming near. The sloop was hailed in French, and ordered under the lee of the ship, and to hoist out the boat; but captain S. immediately hoisted his square sail, ran across the ship's stern, and escaped, although a few shots were fired at him. The Salem vessels were probable taken. They were the Swallow, Waters, and Joseph, Lurvey.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 2.
COMMUNICATION.
Duelling. —The last London papers furnish us with another instance of this fatal, and wicked mode of terminating "Affairs of Honor."
The parties in this contention were men of large fortune, and education; men, who had long lived together under the strongest bonds of friendship, which in one fatal moment were broken by the machinations of a designing female.
The history of this business, while it places the false principles of duelling in a proper light, will serve as a lesson against yielding too implicit confidence, in a tale tending to militate against a tried and once valued friend.
The parties in this unfortunate affair were Lord Camelford and Mr. Best, a gentleman of large property in Barbadoes.—The eccentricities of the former, might alone furnish a subject of curiosity.—Early in life he was a Midshipman under Lieut. Riou, in the Guardian, man of war, which carried out a part of the government of Botany Bay. The ship was struck by an Island of Ice, a misfortune before unknown in the same latitude. Above two hundred of the crew took to their boat, and after enduring the greatest hardships, perished; while the commander with Camelford, and the remainder almost miraculously got safe into Port Jackson.
In the last European war, Camelford was promoted to the post of master and commander, and given the command of a sloop of war on the West-India station.—His conduct as an officer was a series of extravagance. Much pride, great courage, unrelenting punishments, and a deficiency both of skill and judgment. In Barbadoes, where he became acquainted with Mr. Best, having sustained some damage in his ship he applied for a large quantity of naval stores, without adopting the prescribed rules necessary on making such application. The merchant of course refused to accept the order, when the offended Lord invited him on board, and without further ceremony tied him to the gang-way where the unfortunate man underwent the chastigation of the boatswain. This daring breach of the law was repaired by money. Lord Camelford had estates which produced upwards of TWENTY THOUSAND POUNDS STERLING.
The "noble sprig," soon became tired of the Navy, or rather, soon after the Barbadoes flogging bout, the navy became tired of my Lord; he therefore began his eccentricities on land. During the latter part of the last war the English enacted a law, forbidding subjects from going to the enemy's country, under very severe punishment. Lord Camelford was one of the first who was detected in his attempt to go to France. To avoid the penalty his

lands gave out that the offender was lunatic, and thus he escaped a second time. During the rejoicings in London upon the last peace, Lord Camelford lodged at a house, near Bond Street—and here it was, with an overgrown fortune, he was intimate—he would not illuminate his windows, and the Lord, sallying out at the end of three or four domestics, to wipe away the disgrace, was nearly torn to pieces. About this time the intimacy between Camelford and Best was renewed. They were seldom apart, except when the former allotted his time to a frail sister, who, out of the attachments of friendship, grew out insinuations to her keeper, to the prejudice of his friend. By such arts, was Camelford roused to calumniate and reach Best, who, no longer able to submit, invited his Lordship to a conference a few miles from London. The parties met, and on the road Camelford said that he was much to blame, but would not retract a word of what he had said. On the ground, Best solemnly told him, that he had been led astray by falsehoods and requested an apology; the other, impetuous, replied that this was "child's play"—they fired, and Camelford fell by a mortal wound, which, however, ere he expired, gave him between three and four days of bodily pain, to enable him to make his peace with an offended God.
From the Key to the Cabinet—the Aurora. The Philadelphia Gazette of last evening has undertaken to assert under the description of a vague report, two facts, which if they could be true, must be known only to the department of state, and communicated illicitly from that department to that paper. The articles are the following:
"It is reported that the Spanish Ambassador and our government, are so much at variance, that the latter has been induced to address the court of Spain, desiring the recall of the marquis." "It is also said that some dissatisfaction exists among the members of the government; and that two or three resignations may be expected. We are not vouch for the correctness of these reports."
Both of those reports we consider as totally undeserving of credit, for the reason above assigned, and we conceive the second only meant as a cover to the first.
There has been an estrangement between our administration and the Spanish Minister, since the agitation of the question concerning Louisiana; that minister had considered his conduct, during his mission here highly advantageous to Spain, and on the particular subject of Louisiana his opinions and plans were in a great measure different from the issue that has arisen out of the cession by France to the United States; and consistent with his views of the best policy for his own country, he sought, by various means to retard the decisive occupation of the territory by the United States.
In the discharge of his duty, according to his own sense of the interests of his country, he could not be found fault with by our government. In fact, our government has treated all his communications with marked respect; but never for a moment suspended the measures conceived to be most consistent with the rights, interests and honor of our republic.
Whether owing to disappointment or to a course pointed out by the uncertainty of the state of ministerial authority in Spain, upon which foreign missions always depend; the Spanish ambassador has not maintained the same intercourse as before with our administration. We have heard in a vague way, that he had set up some opposition to our occupation of Louisiana to the ancient line formed by the Perdido river; but this may not be true. We have also heard that when the British ambassador some time ago made so much fuss about etiquette, so incompatible with the nature of our institutions, and so improper and disrespectful in the officer of a foreign government, the Spanish minister for the first time assumed the buckram, and stood upon the stilts of precedence—but this also is a rumor; and should not have been noticed now had not the article above revived the recollection of it.
We have, however, heard other reports—we have heard that the Spanish ministry has been for some time in such a state, as to shake the influence of certain eminent characters between whom and the minister here, political and personal confidence had long prevailed—and that probably the minister would voluntarily visit Europe very soon.
The only motive that could have induced a desire of our government for the recall of the marquis would be some misconduct on his part—of which we cannot suspect him from his conduct for several years past.
As to the reported dissatisfaction among the members of the government, if thereby the heads of government is meant, it can have no foundation. The president has been for two weeks on a visit to his daughter, who had been for some time dangerously indisposed: and no measures could have arisen in which the officers of government could come into contrast with each other; beside their departments are all so distinct as not to interfere either with the other.
In a late account of the city of Hamburg it is remarked how strikingly the versatility of human affairs is displayed in the circumstances of the French Emigrants in that place; of whom it is impossible to speak without astonishment & admiration, at the fortitude and resignation with which they bear, and cheerfully too, the sad vicissitudes of fortune:
"A French Bishop is now in partnership with a person, whose business is to reduce different kinds of vegetables, roots and herbs into flour, to be used in bread, and otherwise for consumption, on board ships, and is doing well—another Bishop has undertaken a tannery upon the plan of Sugin, the French Chemist, and also succeeds. A former General has turned author, and now handles his pen as well as he once did his sword; his aid-de-camp Baptiste, who distinguished himself so much at the celebrated battle of Jemappe, was very lately a paper hanger; a Marquis measures ladies for shoes; a Duke deals in candles; another of great rank is a silk dyer; & a distinguished officer serves as a waiter to a landlord, who had once been his lieutenant. The son of a governor of a large province keeps a restaurateur house. Another nobleman has joined one who had formerly been his cook, in the same business. The heir of the great name of Fenelon keeps a public house. Dealers in small ware, dancing masters, musick, language, fencing, school masters, and brokers of every description, are innumerable."
Extract of a letter from an American gentleman, dated Paris, February 29.
"The present will arrive with the last letter I wrote you, the vessel being detained by a general embargo which is still continued on vessels in the ports of the channel, in consequence, it is presumed, of the discovered plot to assassinate the First Consul. I mentioned in my last that several persons had been arrested, but I believe General Moreau was not then of the number. From the publication, under the authority of the government, there can be no doubt of his having received visits from Georges and Pichegru; how far he is engaged with them we must wait his trial to determine; he at all events will lose the estimation he was held in by this nation; and it is to be lamented, that a man who stood so high in public esteem, should suffer himself to be led astray by such characters. If their object was to bring about another revolution, I think they were wrong in the calculation. General Bonaparte has established such order throughout every department, and the people appear so sensible of the good effects of it, that I do not believe they could be induced to fall back into the state of disorganization and confusion he has drawn them out of, but I believe that the system he has established will be lasting. Paris is as perfectly tranquil as a city can be; the whole interior is equally so; taxes are regularly paid and the treasury well supplied; the whole receipt of the year eleven was 606,454,609 francs, and the expenditure 617,802,213 fr.—all public works go on without relaxation, and as active as if no war existed; and perhaps there never was at any time in France so many public works and improvements going forward as at this moment, and the preparation for a hostile attack on their enemy greater than ever it was; the event we must leave to time. Between this government and ours, I believe there is a perfect good understanding; there certainly is between the officers of it and our Minister; this is a pleasing circumstance for the person who will succeed him."
On Monday Captain Bray arrived at Marblehead in 37 days from Bourdeaux, in France. Though Bonaparte was to have eaten his Christmas dinner in England, he still remained on his own side of the channel; but the preparations for invasion had in no respect relaxed. The heretofore respectable commercial house of Wood, we are informed, has failed. West India produce was low.
SALT MOUNTAIN.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Kentucky, to his correspondent in N. Haven dated, Feb. 10, 1804. "As the Newspapers in the Atlantic states teem with lies concerning a salt mountain in the Upper Missouri country, I think it necessary to inform you from the mouth of a person of veracity who has just arrived from that country, that it is only a Lick similar to those which abound in this country, (Kentucky.) At the foot of the supposed salt mountain there is a spring strongly impregnated with salt, which ripples over a long ledge of rocks. Time has incrust on the rocks, salt to the thickness of from 6 to 8, 10 and 14 inches. A piece weighing 400lbs. came down the Missouri last year, a lump of which Governor Harrison sent to the president, and if you wish it I can enclose you some from the same piece."

That no person may have the plea of ignorance of the law, I herewith publish the 14th section of the Act, entitled "An Act to remove nuisances, preserve the health of the inhabitants of the town of Alexandria, and other purposes."
Sect. 14. Be it enacted, That the persons living on paved streets, shall clean the foot ways opposite to the property they occupy, and shall moreover wash such foot ways, every Saturday from the first day of May to the last day of September, unless prevented by the weather; any inhabitant who shall not perform the said duties, shall for every neglect forfeit and pay thirty three cents. No person shall throw or cause to be thrown down from any waggon or other carriage, or in any other manner, any rubbish, litter or dirt, on any street, public lane or ally, and suffer the same to remain for more than twenty four hours, except in such quantities and in such places as may be allowed by the Superintendent of police: Provided that any person desirous of depositing on any street, materials for building, shall apply to the superintendent of Police, who shall appoint a proper place, and assign a reasonable space for depositing said materials; whoever shall offend herein shall forfeit and pay five dollars for each offence, and be subjected to the further penalty of one dollar, for every day such building materials shall so remain contrary to the provisions hereof.

SCHEME of a LOTTERY, Authorised by an act of assembly to raise the sum of 10,000 dolls. for the purpose of improving the Road leading from Little River to Ashby's & Snuck-er's Gaps.    1 prize of 2000 dolls. is 2000   1 do. 1000 1000   1 do. 500 500   2 250 500   5 100 500   10 50 500   50 20 1000   100 10 1000   500 5 2500   4000 4 16000   4670 Prizes, 25,590   First drawn ticket, not a prize in the above list, 500   Last drawn do. do. 400   Gains for the Roads, 10,000   7330 Blanks.   12000 Tickets at 3 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, as 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 authorise to dispose of them.

Dr HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, Croup, Coughs, Asthma, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and Approaching Consumption.
To parents who may have children afflicted with the HOOPING COUGH.
This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it is an immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable—the Elixir is so perfectly agreeable and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.
From LUTHER MARTIN, Esq. Attorney General of the State of Maryland.
Gentlemen, I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir. It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever 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 forensis 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 this invaluable medicine.
Dr. Hamilton's GRAND RESTORATIVE,
Is recommended as an invaluable medicine, for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures—juvenile indiscretions—residence in climates unfavourable to the constitution—the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the unskilful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females, at a certain period of life—bad lying in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of
  Nervous disorders,  Violent cramps in the    Consumptions,  stomach and back,    Lowness of spirits,  Indigestion,    Loss of appetite,  Melancholy,    Impurity of the blood,  Gout in the stomach,    Flatulency,  Pains in the limbs,    Inward weakness,  Relaxations,    Seminal weakness,  Involuntary emissions,    Fluor albus, (or whites)  Obstinate gleet,    Barrenness,  Impotency, &c. &c.  
In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impoverishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no nourishment or cordial could repair a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE and EXTRACT of MUSTARD,
A safe and effectual remedy for gout, rheumatism, palsy, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. And has performed more cures in the above complaints than all the other medicines ever before made public.
From Dr. Weatherburn, Wythe county, Virginia.
Gentlemen, I purchased at your shop the preparations you call Hamilton's Essence, or Extract of Mustard, which I believe has perfectly removed a chronic rheumatism (of that kind named Sciatica, or of the hip joint) under which I had laboured for a long time, and which had baffled every article in the Materia Medica, and every mode of treatment received into practice for the cure of this obstinate disease. If you think this letter useful you are at liberty to make it public.
Yours, &c.
P. WEATHERBURN.
John Hoover, rope-maker, South Second Street, between Mary and Christian-Streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily maketh oath as follows, namely, that his wife, Mary Hoover, was so severely afflicted with a violent rheumatism, very dangerously situated, the consequence of a severe cold after lying in, as to be confined to her bed for several weeks, and was at length reduced to melancholy apprehension of remaining a cripple for life, notwithstanding the most respectable medical advice was followed, and every probable remedy attempted; when seeing several cases of cures performed by Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard, they were procured from Mr. Birch, No. 17, South Second-Street. The first application enabled her to walk across the room, and the use of one bottle restored her to her usual state of health and strength.

HAMILTON'S
WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES.
Which have within four years past cured upwards of one hundred and twenty thousand persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from worms, and form obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever of similar title, so commonly complained of as operating with violence on the contrary, particular excellence of this remedy is its being suited to every age and constitution; contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is so mild in its operation that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old should no worms exist in the body; but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. They are particularly efficacious in carrying off all gross humors and corruptions; feverish and bilious complaints, and one or two doses will be found a most effectual remedy on any occasion.
Description of Worms, and the symptoms which by they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Tapes or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short, flat, white worm, and lastly, the Tania, or tape worm, so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and is full of joints—it is most hurtful, and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted gums—itching in the nose and about the 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—Purgings, with slimy and foetid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed. Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms should have immediate recourse to HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally during the warm season, will effectually prevent the vomiting and purging of children, a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands of the infant part of our cities. It is likewise the mildest and most certain remedy known and has restored to health and strength a great number when in an advanced stage of this fatal complaint. Particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the necessary treatment in such cases.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness; having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
CASES OF CURES—by Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges.
(Selected from thousands) the authenticity of which any person may ascertain, either by letter or personal application.
TAPE WORM.
Mr. SAMUEL FULLER, Inn-keeper, on the Harford road, ten miles from Baltimore, began about 20 months ago to be grievously afflicted with a tape worm, which increased fast in size and strength, so as to excite the most horrid sensations by its writhing motions and intolerable pains, resembling the gnawing and tearing of his bowels, which deprived him of his necessary sleep, and caused such dreadful apprehensions as cannot be conceived but by one in a similar situation—his appetite vanished rapidly, and with that his strength, so that he was unable to attend to any business—when he heard of some excellent cures performed by Hamilton's worm lozenges, he took a large dose, which brought away about FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the possession of Lee & Co.)—but a renewal of his pains soon convinced him that this monstrous reptile had recovered its first vigour—Application was made to Lee & Co. for more of their medicine, with their advice—from which resulted the total expulsion of his formidable enemy, in several pieces, which he supposed to be SIX or EIGHT YARDS more. A few months have since elapsed, and Mr. Fuller is now in perfect health. The above facts are well known to a numerous circle of his neighbours, and himself will gratify any who may wish to make further inquiries on the subject. Although Hamilton's worm lozenges produce such powerful effects, when necessary, yet they are perfectly innocent and mild in their operation on the human body, even taken in large doses, as Mr. Fuller will testify—their particular mildness is abundantly evident in innumerable cures of infants.
Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, Yorktown, Pennsylvania.
Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOLTHER, minister of the Moravian church, in Yorktown.
York, January 4th, 1802.
Dear Sir, Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recommended to me as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms, I procured a box for the use of my family, to try, whether by means of this medicine, I might be enabled to gain a point, which, to accomplish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very restless at night grew leaner from time to time; in short, he seemed to be in a precarious state of health, which would yield to none of the medicines administered, until I gave him two doses of lozenges, agreeably to the directions, which carried off a substance to all appearance a mercurious but upon close inspection quit repelled with very small living animals. Not one of that sort of worms which usually afflict children came from him. Since that period he grew remarkably better in health; and though lean, has got a fresh and lively complexion. Upon different occasions I have used this medicine as a purging substitute, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly-ache, or any of those disagreeable sensations, so often occasioned by purging medicines. Upon the whole I judge this medicine to be, besides its main object, one of the most salutary means for restoring lost appetite, and promoting a proper state of digestion, by carrying off that bilious substance, which engenders so much indisposition both among children and adults.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, JOHN MOLTHER.
