To be Sold at Auction,
At the Court House in Alexandria, on Monday the 14th day of January next, at 10 o'clock in the forenoon, about 95 acres of land, lying three quarters of a mile from the built parts of that city, and a great part laid out into streets and lots corresponding with the streets and lots of it. The near vicinity of it to a city so fast increasing, of which it must soon become a part; its lying within the District of Columbia, and other advantages render it an object worthy the attention of minded men, who by retaining it some time cannot fail of making great advantages. In the mean time either the whole or one half if more convenient to a purchaser, may be had at private sale.
The terms of payment are ten per cent. in cash, or a good endorsed note at 60 days, and the remainder in three equal annual instalments, or interest from the date. The security required will be a bond, with a conveyance of the Land to certain Trustees agreed on, who shall have authority to sell, in case of non-payment of interest or principal at the time fixed. Persons wishing for information will please apply to Col. George Deneale, at Alexandria, or the subscriber in New York.

Congress of the United States.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
MONDAY, January 7.
Mr. Elliot presented a petition from Barnabas Strong, and sundry other inhabitants of Vermont, praying a grant of a tract of land six miles square, in the territory of Indiana.
Mr. Olin opposed this application, as being a speculation upon the public property of the Union, and hoped the petition would be rejected.
Mr. Elliot did not view the application in the same light with Mr. Olin, but were it the thing suggested, he thought, still it might be suffered to go to a committee for enquiry.
On the motion to refer it to a select committee, there was thirty-seven Yeas, and thirty-two Nays.
The Speaker said the votes did not amount to a quorum, and having called in the members to their seats, the motion was put a second time, and there were forty-one in favor of the reference, and thirty-seven against it. It was accordingly referred to a select committee of three.
A message was received from the President, informing that he had approved and signed the act, supplementary to the act, for the collection of duties on goods, wares and merchandise imported into the United States.
Mr. Thompson reported from the committee, appointed for the purpose, on the petition of William Rolls, praying a grant of land, other than that he had located, and which possessed the mill seat he had contemplated to purchase of the U States, that he have leave to withdraw his petition. The report was considered and agreed to by the House.
Mr. Olin moved the appointment of a select committee, for the purpose of considering the propriety of increasing the allowance made to the persons employed in bringing to the seat of government the returns of the election of President and Vice President of the United States. The allowance made by law being two dollars and fifty cents for every twenty miles travel to Washington, and nothing allowed them for their return.
On the question to raise such committee, there were fifty six members in its favor, and twenty one against it. A committee of three was appointed.
Mr. Crownshield reported, from the committee of commerce and manufactures, on the petition of Benjamin Bailey and others, of New York, praying a remission of the bonded duties, due on sundry articles of merchandise, consumed in their stores by the late conflagration in Pearl, Dock and Water streets, in that city. The resolution annexed to the report and agreed to by the House was, that the petitioners have leave to withdraw their petition.
A letter and report from the Post Master General, on the case of M. Henderson, a contractor for carrying the mail in a stage from Charleston, South Carolina, to Fayetteville, recommending a further allowance of 4,200 dollars for that service, was received and referred to a committee of the whole to-morrow.
Mr. Findley laid upon the table a resolution to be added to the rules of the house, directing the Speaker to call upon the chairmen of committees to report the progress they had made in the several items of business referred to them, every Friday morning during the residue of the session.
Mr. Vanhorne presented a petition from a number of the inhabitants of Bucks county, Pennsylvania, praying the establishment of a new post road through the western part of the same. This petition was referred to the committee on post offices and post roads.
Mr. Holmes presented a petition from John McIntire, stating that an error had been made in his patent for certain lands purchased at public sale, in Marietta, and praying that the error might be corrected. Referred to the committee of claims.
Mr. Stanford called for the order of the day on the resolutions moved by him in November last, relative to the recession of the territory of Columbia, excepting the City of Washington, and the house having resolved itself into a committee of the whole.
Mr. Tenney in the chair. An interesting debate arose, in which Messrs. Stanford, Smith, Early and Eppes advocated, and Mr. Dennis opposed the recession. The debate continued till the usual hour of adjournment, when, on motion of Mr. Nelson, the committee rose, reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again. Adjourned.
From the Charleston Courier.
Drawing near to the close of the second year of our labors for the public, and summing up the whole political conduct of the civilized world, in general, and of this country in particular, we see much to lament and little to be pleased with; little to applaud and much to condemn; much to fear and little to hope. In retrospect, enough to fill us with abhorrence; in prospect (not very remote prospect either) enough to make us shudder for the condition of man. On the other side of the Atlantic we see established authority and government long legalized by convention or prescription, cowering beneath the vulture pounce of a sanguinary usurper, elevated to guilty state upon the ruins of that august fabric, the general law of Europe. There we see that usurper, the offspring of nullity, the nurseling of sin, the pupil of vice, the slave of sanguinary democracy, the instrument, at once, and fomentor of faction, and the personal executioner of her bloody mandates: the sworn proselyte first, and then the perjured betrayer of faction after faction, of the murderous demagogues who have destroyed and ravaged Europe: Now assisting each, as it happened to rule, in deluging their country and the world with blood, and then helping those who shed theirs. There we see that terrific tyrant lifted upon the shoulders of democracy up to despotic regal power, trampling not only all that is bad, but all that is valuable, of that same democracy, under his bloody hoof; and not only crushing democratic faction, but discarding from the composition of government that portion of the refined principles of democracy, without which good government can no more exist than life without heat, or animal existence without the circulation of blood. With a hell-instructed process of political chemistry, decomposing that happy form of government which the sages of many centuries had composed for the advancement of human happiness, and the perpetuation of that portion of freedom it is competent to frail man to possess and retain under the condition which the Creator has made the terms of sublunary existence, and wherever his pernicious power extends, excluding every part of it but monarchical despotism. From an ascendancy so disgraceful, as well as threatening and destructive to mankind, we see Great Britain alone exempt: against it we see Great Britain alone contending; and whilst the combatants are engaged, all Europe looking on, with trepidation, fear and hope, awaiting the issue of the contest like the children in the wood, trembling for their throats, which are to be cut or saved, as their intended butcher or defender shall happen to be victorious. All, all the result of letting loose the people from their folds, to be preyed upon by the wolves, the tigers, the panthers, and "the fell of the fell," the Hydras of society, the demagogues.
From this tremendous picture, let us turn our eyes to America, and see how she takes it; how her knowing ones take it. Let us look to her political connoisseurs, her constitution fanciers, and her Dilletanti of holy insurrection, and the rights of man, full in the face, and see how they are affected by this tragical piece. Whether, as true principled republicans, they contemplate it with indignation and abhorrence; or, as unprincipled demagogues, view it with complacency and approbation. Whether, as good men, they detest and abhor the wild democratic doctrines and preachers which have betrayed Europe into those horrors, or from fellow-feeling, exult in the success of such diabolical arts. Whether, as friends to the independence of mankind, they wish success to its champion, England; or, a fellow bloodletter in embryo, and tadpole despot lately generated in the quagmire of the Rights of Man and striving to swim through the trickling streamlets of popularity, into the huge whirlwind of usurpation (that damned essay into which democracy never fails to run)—they wish success to Bonaparte, enter into his virtuous, honest, merciful, and republican feelings; like buxom bridesmaids, sympathise with the joys of the new bride; and giving full swing to their loose imaginations, anticipate their own long wished consummation, and pray their gods to send the day that shall make such blessings theirs; and so enable their kind congenial friend, the Corsican, to return one presidential compliment, in kind, and on similar principles, and with equal justice, to hell our despotic monarchy in petto "the enlightened government of America."
If those who have risen to power by popularity, and obtained that popularity by professing republicanism, by inveighing
against monarchy, and by brawling about the rights of man, were really and in heart that which they profess, what must their feelings be? If they be, in heart republicans, must they not abhor the man who has destroyed republics, and despise the people who have submitted to his sway? Must they not with every breath wait prayers to the God of justice to avenge the cause of Switzerland, that illustrious, and once happy republic, whose boast it was to be inhabited, as a great writer has said by "Un peuple simple bienfaisant, brave, ennemi du faste, ami, du travail, ne cherchant point d'esclaves, et ne voulant point de maîtres": now doomed by the all destroying conducts of the Corsican to yield up their independence to part with the government of their choice, and to take that which he stretches forth to them on the point of the bayonet; and to receive the tyrant's dictates as to their form of government, their domestic regulations, and their external connections, with implicit submission? Nor is the injury simply this: It is imbittered with insult. The privation of their liberty, and independence, is aggravated by the most brutal and insolent reflections upon their country, upon their diversity of religious, languages and manners, and in a word, upon all the establishments, habits, laws, and customs which they had for centuries cherished as sources of happiness and barriers of their independence? If in heart those men hate monarchy, must they not abhor the despot who to regal tyranny adds the abominable crime and the dangerous example of usurpation? If they value the rights of man, must they not abhor that man who has violated the rights of every people with whom he has come in contact? And can it be said that our majority do all this? No—no such thing! But in many instances the reverse. They are too cunning to drink openly the health of Bonaparte, or as they were wont "carouse full measure" to his murderous merits; but they view him with that admiration and private liking with which, grovelling minds, unswayed by principle, gaze upon successful villainy, and with kindred affection and family fondness, yearn to that monstrous progeny, begotten by Usurpation upon that strumpet Democracy, and midwifed to a throne by Murder. In the intoxication of the evening, they may quaff "three times three" to the memory of William Tell the illustrious Swiss patriot, who in the year 1307, delivered the Swiss Cantons from the German yoke, by shooting the tyrant Gessler; but more wise in the morning, they will very gingerly tell you, that in 1803, those Cantons wanted a toss back again into despotism; that they had lain too long on the right side of republicanism, and for fear of the blood reiling there, ought to be turned on their backs, or rolled over to the left side, the yoke of foreign monarchy; that they had been too long idle, and were rusting for want of political experiments; and that resting too long in the luxurious lap of freedom, they were likely to fall into a state of political ennui, and required the usual nostrums—the cupping, blistering, blood-letting of the Corsican quack. Gracious God, grant patience to every honest man who hears that after what has passed, there are still men in whose hearts the cancer of Jacobinism so inveterately inheres, that to vindicate the most pernicious transaction that stains the history of the world, they will libel a glorious nation, and out of sheer love of wrong, of revolution, and of plunder, will take savage delight in the overthrow of a glorious republic, and say "well done" to the tyrant who tramples it under foot.
When men act upon principle their conduct is uniform—as in the mimic drama, the actor who plays parts, not congenial to his soul, falls back into his own character when the curtain drops; so when a man in the real drama of life, plays a borrowed part, as soon as his turn is served he falls back into his own character, and like Richard, "is himself again." On the stage a villain may play the part of a virtuous man, a ruffian and a blackguard that of a gentleman, or a loose woman that of a tender modest virgin: But as soon as the deception has done its office, each sinks back into self; and if they were to be hanged, drawn and quartered for it, can no more permanently and consistenly appear the virtuous man, the gentleman, or the chaste woman, than a sailor's well-starched jacket could pass for a silvered muslin. Thus your revolutionary demagogues waver from part to part, earnestly mimicking each yet never being in reality what they seem; and when they have gulled the multitude and obtained their object, exhibit themselves in their true character. To day they play the Spouter, and declaim in praise of democracy, Brutus, bloodletting, and the death of Cæsar; to-morrow they praise

Cesar and usurpation. One evening they strut and mouth rank eulogy on La Liberte , the Guillotine, and Robespierre; the next on Despotism, Prison, Chains, and Bonaparte; and whether it be democracy, aristocracy, or despotic monarchy, all is right with them, provided it only supplies them with a swinging share of insurrection, revolution, violence, confiscation and plunder. And above all, provided it demolishes long established forms of government. For this is the fact; they know it is only when the stream is violently disturbed that the bottom filth can rise to the surface; that they can hope to rise only in the blind pell-mell riot, and confusion of civil discord, when the wise, the good, and the exalted are content to keep sober and defend themselves, and when (as night thieves, after breaking into a house, make their way into the cellar, and drink till they cannot find their way out again) the deluded people and their deluders, drink deep of the cup of power, till intoxicated, they fall into the hands of some deluder more cautious and more cunning than the rest, who throws them into irons, and executes justice upon them in the end. Each hopes he may be that fortunate person, and directs all his efforts to that end.
And now Americans ask why certain persons in this country preach democracy to you, when they have before their eyes and you have before yours, the iron despotism of France, and the subjugation and dependence of the greater part of Europe, a damning instance of the pernicious effects of wild democracy? To this I answer you that it is because they no more care what this country may suffer, than they care for what France has suffered. Ambition not virtue, is their passion; profit not patriotism, their view: It is not that they care whether this country be well or ill governed, but that they want themselves to govern it. It is not that they think this or that constitution or form of government good, but that any government must be bad in the administration of which they have no share. Grant to each and every of those persons who would enthrone you with democracy, and frighten you with the bugaboo of a king, holding up every considerable man who opposes them as a raw-head and bloody-bones of monarchism, and assuring you that such men are not to be trusted; grant these very men, we say but the liberty to choose for themselves, and you will find them ready to give ample credit to their own virtues, and to submit the nation to the risque of their own unlimited rule.
Without saying grace or praying to God, or to their own Deity or Dicties to forgive them, they would break this mighty fast which they impose upon others, and with good appetite fall to and carve up and feed upon the country. Like the hospitable Catholic priest at the famed Louth Neagh, who, having no fish to give his guests on a fast day, took a twelve pound leg of mutton, and after a few church ejaculations, dipped it in the lake, saying very gravely, "go down mutton! come up fish!" they would, believe us, Americans, rather than let themselves or friends go without a meal of power to satisfy the maw of their ravenous avarice and ambition, they would dip the Union in the revolution tub, and piously say, "go down Republic! come up Monarchy!" let what would become of the freedom of the country.

Alexandria Daily Advertiser.
FRIDAY, JANUARY 11.
MARRIED last evening by the Rev. Mr. Muir, Mr. AMOS ALEXANDER, to Miss ELIZA WROE, both of this Town.
The question of recession was, yesterday, after an animated debate of four days, determined in the House of Representatives in the negative, by a large majority, 47 for, and 79 against it.
The New York prints state the arrival at that city, of capt. Hamilton, from Naples, and that he has brought dispatches to government, from commodore Preble. We learn on enquiry, that the Secretary of the Navy has received a letter from the Navy Agent at Naples, dated Oct. the 30th, which, however, furnishes no information in addition to that previously received and published.
Other accounts give some circumstances not unworthy of notice. The letter from commodore Barron, of the 28th September states that he was preparing to attack Tripoli (without the gun and mortar boats) with the frigates, the President the Constitution the Congress, and the Constellation; and that this attack would be made as soon as they had completed the affairs of the few injuries received by the Constitution in the action of the first Sept.
It appears also, that commodore Preble and Mr. O'Brien, under the impression that the gun boats and mortar boats could not longer, with any prospect of success, keep the sea, directed them on the 7th of Sept. two days previous to the arrival of commodore Barron off Tripoli, to repair to Syracuse, on which day they accordingly left the fleet.
A letter from an officer on board the President, dated Syracuse harbour, Sept. 28th, states the following facts, which are too interesting, too illustrative of the high heroism of our seamen, and too honorable to the memory of the deceased, to be withheld from the public.
"I wrote you from Gibraltar the 13th August and from Malta the 6th inst. since which we have been off Tripoli, and arrived here two days since. Two days previous to our arriving off Tripoli a boat was filled with 100 barrels of powder started in loose, and 300 shells; the command was given to our friend Somers, who had with him lieutenants Wadsworth and Israel, with about ten men, his orders were to get in as nigh the town and batteries as possible and put fire to the trains, he had with him a small boat to effect his escape from the harbor off which was captain Stewart in the Syren waiting for him. When we arrived off Tripoli we were informed that he got well in and set fire to the trains, but by some accident it was supposed the train communicated to the dry powder before they got off a sufficient distance from the vessel. But by an arrival here last night of a small vessel from Malta, the captain of whom was at Tripoli at the time of the explosion, he informs that Somers had got well in, when two gun boats full of men were sent to board him, which they effected, 100 Tripolitans being on board of his boat, he found he must either fall into their hands or blow himself up; he chose the latter and with his own hands put the match to the powder, which instantly dashed to pieces the boats, and every person in them. About 100 shells fell into the town and castle, at this instant there was the greatest consternation every where and with 200 men I believe the castle might have been taken."
Among the brave fellows, who thus ended their days, and laid a well founded claim to glory, were Captain Somers, of Jersey, Lieut. Wadsworth, Massachusetts, midshipman Israel, of Maryland--whose names have been stated before, but which are now given with greater precision to prevent mistakes.
The vessel blown up was a lugger, of but little value, taken from the enemy.

Communicated by a gentleman lately arrived from the Cape of Good Hope.
The government at the Cape of Good Hope, on hearing by sundry European arrivals, to the latter end of September, that the British were preparing an expedition against that country, immediately took the necessary measures to put it in the best state of defence.
All the British residing in the colony, amounting to about two hundred, were ordered to Skellenshosh, a village about 30 English miles from the Cape-town, to remain there, till further orders, under the superintendance of a military commissary. All the inhabitants of the Cape-town, married and unmarried, from the age of 15 to 45, were put in requisition for the military service, and were obliged, every two days to perform duty.
The governor gen. in chief J. W. Jansiens, with an army of four thousand men regulars and auxiliaries, were encamped on an elevated position, near the main road at a place called Liesback river, distant about three English miles from town: among his troop he had about 600 horsemen, and his whole force including the militia, and some Hottentot and Malay corps, amounted to near seven thousand men. The cattle, provisions, and all what may be useful to the enemy, were to be removed from the coast into the country, as soon as the necessary measures for that purpose could be taken. Signal posts were erected to give notice of the approach of the British.
It is expected from the general's known military talents, and from his intrepidity, that the British will not find it very easy to conquer that country while under his command. Governor Jansiens resided at the Cape; R. G. Van Polanen, esq. the president of the council, formerly minister resident of the Batavian republic near the United States, resided at the Castle, and acted as governor in town.
Adrices from Tranquebar state, that Poolo Penang, in the straits of Malacca, had surrendered to the Dutch forces under admiral Hartsink, and at the same time several English Indiamen had been taken.
A squadron of British ships of war and frigates, were cruising off the Mauritius, waiting, as it was said, for the return of the French admiral, Linois.
[New-York pap.]
From New Orleans, Nov. 10. Four only of the President's named counsellors for the Orleans territory having accepted a seat in the legislature, out of 13, and these four have been induced to accept by the repeated solicitations of the governor. The refusal of the others will show the dislike of the people to our new form of government. The four who have accepted are, Benjamin Morgan, John Watkins, Julian Poydras, and William Wikoff, of Opelousas. The legislative council convened for the 12th inst. of consequence could not form a quorum; the governor will therefore have to wait till he receives blank commissions, to be filled up with the names of such as he can get to accept the offices.
It has always been customary to arm merchantmen when bound to ports beyond the Cape of Good Hope, and sometimes when bound into the Mediterranean; and yet we have never heard that the peace of the United States had been committed by any unlawful proceedings of these vessels. The extraordinary solicitude to prevent all trade with the poor blacks of Hayti, whom the French government has declared to be free, which has been discovered by the ministerial members of congress, must be excited by something which has not yet met the ear of the community.

EXTRACT.
BENEVOLENCE AND HUMANITY.
ADDRESSED TO YOUTH.
YOUTH is the proper season of cultivating the benevolent and humane affections. As a great part of your happiness is to depend on the connections which you form with others, it is of high importance that you acquire betimes the temper and the manners which will render such connections comfortable. Let a sense of justice be the foundation of all your social qualities. In your most early intercourse with the world, and even in your youthful amusements, let no unfairness be found. Engrave upon your mind that sacred rule of "doing in all things to others, according as you wish that they should do unto you. For this end, impress yourselves with a sense of the original and natural quality of men. Whatever advantage,
you may possess above others, never play them with an ostentatious superiority. It becomes you to act among your companions, as man with man. Remember how unknown to you are vicissitudes of the world; and how often they, on whom ignorance and contemptuous young men oft. looked down with scorn, have risen to be their superiors in future years. Compassion is an emotion of which you ought never to be ashamed. Grateful is the tea of sympathy, and the heart that melts at the tale of woe. Let not ease and indulgence contract your affections, and wrap you up in selfish enjoyments. Accustom yourselves to think of the distresses of human life; of the solitary cottage, the dying parent and the weeping orphan. Never sport with pain and distress in any of your amusements, nor treat the meanest insect with wanton cruelty.

REANIMATION.
WHEN the most important functions of life are suspended, and those who are invalids by impudence, inheritance, accident or disease, are tottering upon the brink of the grave, it is not in despair that relief is to be found! There is a medicine which has restored thousands, from infirmity and misery to health and happiness, which is
THE AROMATIC LOZENGES OF STEEL.
Since this excellent medicine was first discovered by Dr. Bardwell, several thousand females have experienced its salutary effects; many of whom had been reduced to the brink of the grave, having used every remedy recommended as specific for those complaints, and had made every application to the locality that could be obtained. The following recent case is selected from a numerous list.
From Mrs. Eleanor Wadsworth, Providence, (R. I.)
Sir,
WE received yours and with much pleasure comply with your request, as my daughter has certainly received very great benefit from Dr. Bardwell's Aromatic Lozenges of Steel.
In the winter of 1802 my daughter, who is in her 17th year caught a very severe cold, which with the violent fever which accompanied it, confined her to her room upwards of four months; during this period we paid for Doctors bills and consultations 150 dollars. The fever left her in the most deplorable, and debilitated state with hardly any use of her limbs, so that we were obliged to carry her from the bed to the chair. Being strongly persuaded by the Doctor we went to Ball's Town Springs and stayed the season, and though she gained considerable strength by the use of the waters; but by the fatigue of the passage (having very rough weather) she became as weak and not much worse than before. During the last winter her whole nervous system has been in irritable, and her spirits low and depressed, that death to her was desirable. In the latter end of January we saw an Advertisement recommending the Lozenges of Steel for similar complaints, we immediately purchased a packet of them, and before the whole of them were taken, they evidently produced a change in her system, which no medicine before had been able to effect; we sent for two more packets. It is now fourteen days since she began; she has laid aside her crutches, has been twice to horse back, and if the weather should prove favorable we intend coming to Peck's Springs in April to stop until we go to Ball's Town Springs; from there we will send you our address, where with pleasure we will satisfy any enquiries.
Price one Dollar per Packet.
Particular directions for their use are sealed up with each but as the great benefit to be derived from them can only be secured by having them genuine, the public are requested to observe that the name of Thomas Stokes & Co. is sealed to each packet, without which mark of authenticity they are not genuine.
The Lozenges of Steel,
are only to be had, in Alexandria, of Messrs.
R. & J. GRAY.
WHO HAVE ALSO ON HAND, A SUPPLY OF Family & Patent Medicines,
CONSISTING OF-
Chamblaud's Antasthmatic Lozenges; Ague and Fever Drops; Antibilious Pills; Antidyne Essence for Head Aches; Reanimating Solar Tincture; Dr. Bardwell's genuine Eye Water; Atkinson's Essence of Mustard; Scotch Ointment for the Itch; Tooth Ach Drops; Aromatic Lozenges; Essence of the Woods, &c. &c.
Dr. Hunter's genuine Antibilious Pills, For the prevention and cure of Yellow, Bilious and Putrid Fevers.
Every experienced physician knows that dangerous disorders arise from a redundancy while in the habit; however salutary a due secretion of this fluid may be, yet a diffusion of it in its circulation is known, from its putrefact qualities to bring on sudden and fatal fevers. The unparalleled success of Dr. Hunter's Antibilious Pills, in curing, and particularly preventing his dreadful disease, is universally known in the
islands, and has induced the proprietor to appoint agents in all the mercantile towns in the United States, for the accommodation of the public. The Antibilious Pills are therefore, in an especial manner, recommended as a preventative, deferring the notice of all persons going to the West Indies, or any of those places infected with these fevers. Dr. Hunter has every possible reason, that can result from long and extensive experience, for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every fourteen days, during the prevalence of our fall fevers, will prove an infallible preventative, and that, if taken in the early stages of these fevers, their use will very generally succeed in restoring health, and frequently in cases deemed desperate and beyond the power of common remedies.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, may be used with safety by persons in every situation and of every age.
In sickly times and places a dose should be taken once a fortnight, and if there is reason to apprehend personal danger, once a week.
Observe that the signatures of Messrs. Thomas Stokes and Co. is affixed to each box, without which mark of authenticity they are not genuine.
The genuine Scotch Itch Ointment.
The only medicine that cures this disagreeable distemper by one application, so many thousands having experienced its efficacy; it is unnecessary to add any more arguments in its favor, but to inform the public that the name Thomas Stokes and Co. is affixed to each box, without this mark of authenticity, none are genuine.
Dr. Bardwell's genuine Eye Water.
A sovereign remedy for all diseases of the eyes; speedily removes inflammation, dimness, itching, and slimy never fails to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the measles, small-pox, and fever; and is an unparallelled strengthener of a weak sight.
Dr. Hunter's genuine Antibilious Pills.
An agreeable and certain preventative of the predisposition to inflammatory and malignant fever, which prevails at particular seasons of the year. The rapid and increasing demand from every part of the United States, and the West Indies, is the best evidence of their superior excellence.
CHAMBLAUD'S Antasthmatic Lozenges.
A radical cure for coughs, colds, asthma and consumption, difficulty of breathing, &c. &c.
Mr. CHAMBLAUD, the sole proprietor of this medicine, has the satisfaction to announce that they have been the means of relieving many persons in a most precarious state of health. In common colds this medicine produces so salutary a perspiration that they generally are eradicated in a few hours. Coughing, being prolonged by that convulsive symptom termed the tickling in the throat, is shortened its duration by promoting sleep and strengthening the constitution. Pulmonary complaints, affecting the breath and lungs; those affected with them experience an almost immediate relief. Asthma and confined consumption have repeatedly been eradicated by them. Infants in the hooping cough, and women during pregnancy, may take them without the least fear of danger, and with the greatest expectation of relief, nor can it be administered at an improper season.
DR. BRADWELL'S
Annoyine Essence, for all kinds of Head Aches.
THE renowned virtues of the Annoyine essence, is now generally known, that it is no presumption in the Proprietor, to say, that Head Aches, arising from whatever cause, or however violent, inflexibly submit to its penetrating powers. This invaluable Annoyine, has frequently succeeded after the best advice, and every other remedy had failed; by its salutary operation, it inflexibly promotes circulation and perspiration, and thereby prevents the return of the most obstinate periodical head aches.
SPRING PHYSIC.
DR. HUNTER'S Anti-Bilious Pills are unquestionably proved by ample experience to be the most effectual remedy, at the same time the most innocent, pleasant, and convenient medicine for the cure of scurvy, scorbutic eruptions, leprosy, and other disorders originating from a corrosive state of the blood. The remarkable cure of Mr. Elfton, of Albany, who had been twelve years tormented with a most distressing scorbutic complaint, as also that of Thomas Johnson, a labouring man, in the service of Mr. Van Rensselaer, who was affected with a most horrid leprosy, must have convinced every one who has read the particulars of these cases, besides which, a variety of proofs of their efficacy, authenticated by persons of character and respectability are open to the examination of every inquirer. These must naturally be supposed to have their due weight, and supersede the necessity of any further comment from the Proprietor, yet, he presumes to assert, that the real merits of this vegetable preparation will, on a fair trial, plead more forcible in its own recommendation than any thing which can be said of it.
Where also may be had,
Atkinson's Worm destroying Lozenges. These Lozenges not only destroy worms where they exist, but effectually prevent their return. Those families who have followed Dr. Atkinson's advice, and used them in the Spring and Fall among their children, in their common physic, have now the happiness to find those children, which appeared sickly and consumptive, in the bloom of health, being entirely delivered from those dreadful vermin.
Sparta, Mount Pleasant, March 27, 1803.
We hereby certify, that our daughter, about 4 years of age, has been very unwell and in a bad state of health for the last two years. We always suspected that she had worms, and had given her several worm medicines, without any good effect, so that we despaired of seeing her till of late. Hearing of some surprising cures being performed by Atkinson's worm destroying Lozenges, we purchased a packet of them, and administered them according to the directions. The first dose brought away only one worm, and with it a quantity of slimy, offensive matter; the second brought away four monstrous worms nearly half a yard in length and the third had a large quantity of slimy offensive matter. The vomiting and purging, with which she was frequently
troubled have ceased, her appetite has become urgent and has ever since enjoyed a perfect state of health to which we are entirely indebted to this excellent medicine.
DR. BARDWELL'S
Reanimating Solar Tincture, or Pabulum of Life Of the cure of Consumption and Asthma, Disorder in the Stomach and Bowels, Convulsions, Cholic and Dementia.
Cautious investigation, and attentive enquiry into the nature and laws of the animal economy, having long confirmed an opinion in the mind of the inventor, that all the maladies abovenominated, derive their origin from the same cause; indirect debility, or consequence weakness, the analogy of their source, by a natural ingenuity suggested the idea of their removal by the same means; the result was the discovery of the Reanimating Solar Tincture, which after having been employed in thousands of instances, with the most unexampled and astonishing success, has obtained the warmest approbation of characters of the first respectability, both in and out of the profession; the proprietors can confidently recommend it as one of the most certain, efficacious, and pleasant remedies ever discovered by man or offered to the world. Price, 1 dol. and 25 cents per bottle. The large bottle contains nearly two of the small. Copious Directions for their use are sealed up with each bottle.
Dr. Stoughton's Cordial Bitters, faithfully prepared at the original watchhouse, London.
This incomparable medicine has stood the test of universal approbation in Europe for near an hundred years, in the cure and prevention of, Lots of appetite, bad digestion, windy cholic, urfets, hysterie vapours, faintness and trembling, ague and fever, depressed spirits, foul breath, worms in children, scurvy, obstructions or stoppages, bilious fevers, flatulency, &c. &c.
These Bitters being now generally used in taverns and public places, and universally acknowledged by all who have tried their effects, to be far superior to the compositions formerly imposed in imitation thereof; the proprietor has reduced the price to those who purchase largely above fifty per cent. Directions will be pasted on the Bottles, and which will be also sealed, in order to detect counterfeits and spurious pretenders, who will all tell you, they make the genuine Stoughton's Bitters; and in order to impose their trash on the public, they sometimes copy a part of the true advertisement and directions.
Specific Drops for Deafness.
FOR many years have these drops been used with amazing success, in DEAFNESS & HARDNESS OF HEARING. Those who are unacquainted with the great relief afforded by this valuable medicine, are earnestly recommended to try it. Few are the cases in which it has not been of great service, and very often produced a complete cure.
Copious directions for the use of the Specific Drops for Deafness are sealed up with each bottle. Price one dollar.
