JEFFERSON & CALLENDER.
No. 12. (Concluded.)
The delay of this number so long, has arisen, not from that miserable indifference to the state of our public affairs, which too many endeavor to conceal under the name of discreet moderation, nor from that shameful indolence which would fain take shelter in a pretended love of quiet, but solely from a desire to do justice to the subject, by bestowing upon it all that patient research, that dispassionate investigation, which it must on all hands be allowed to demand.
It is our belief, that in ordering the fine of 200 dollars to be repaid to James Thompson Callender, after it had been levied by the Marshal and had of course become legally vested in the United States, the President has assumed a prerogative unknown to the constitution: It has therefore become our duty to arraign this abuse at the bar of public reason. And while we shall studiously avoid any uncandid construction, or indecorous licence, no consideration, shall induce us to abstain from a free and decent enquiry.
It may not be improper here to provide against certain false and improper impressions which might tend to lessen that degree of undivided attention which we must invite, as absolutely essential to a right understanding of the subject before us. There are doubtless many well disposed persons who will be apt to consider chiefly the amount of the fine itself, and to exclaim with the poet, Rixatur de lana caprina. * They may imagine a mere 200 dollars, to be too paltry a sum to attract much notice or cause any serious alarm. But let it be forever remembered, that in all constitutional questions, it is the principle, not the amount of the sum in controversy, which is to be taken into account. Usurpations of every kind are introduced with the greater facility, when in their first attempts, they are too trivial to arrest attention, or when they are cloaked under the plausible pretext of public utility. Once introduced, however, we are soon awakened to behold a gigantic monster, read in the clouds becomes too firm and formidable ever to be moved. The exercise of a Lettre de Cachet , in a few preliminary instances of known and detestable crimes, may have led to the establishment of the Bastille, and all the horrors of discretionary imprisonment. On the other hand, the assumed prerogative of bestowing at the will of the Monarch, moderate rewards on great services rendered the community, might smooth the way to the unlimited disposal of national property upon the corrupt favorites of arbitrary power. When Charles the First was unhappily induced to violate the constitution by his unauthorized exaction of ship money, the celebrated John Hampden made a great and glorious opposition; renowned in the annals of all succeeding ages: his resistance cost him an ample forfeiture; yet the sum demanded was only a few shillings. The amount claimed was clearly no object, but the principle contended for involved the Liberties and Constitution of his country—and he made a noble stand in their behalf which has given a splendor to his name that no time can diminish.—Thus, to come down to our own times, the trifling duty of three pence a pound upon tea, was a matter altogether insignificant when set in comparison with the toils, the dangers, the blood and treasure which was to be the price of a Revolution. But an Otis, an Adams, a Hancock, a Warren, a Quincey and a Molineaux, sat not down with Pike's Arithmetic before them to calculate the exact amount which an opposition was to cost.—When it became a question between "economy in the public expense" and principle, they were not to be deterred by an impotent apprehension that it would take from the mouth of labor some of the bread it had earned. The admission of a right to tax and bind America by law in all cases whatsoever, could not be endured—it involved principles repugnant to constitutional rights and subversive of FREEDOM. This was the great consideration which impelled them forward and taught them to spurn at those obstacles which with weaker or less patriotic men would have been insurmountable.
* Let them dispute about straws.
† Ingrediarque solo, et caput inter nubes condit. Virg.
History will inscribe their names in the same roll with that of Hampden and Pym.
In the language then of a nervous writer, "Let me exhort and conjure you, my fellow-citizens, never to suffer an invasion of your political constitution, however minute the instance may appear, to pass by without a determined, persevering resistance. One precedent creates another. They soon accumulate and constitute law. What yesterday was fact is to day doctrine. Examples are supposed to justify the most dangerous measures; and where they do not suit exactly, the defect is supplied by analogy. This is not the cause of faction or of party, or of any individual, but the common interest of every man in America. If the constitutional powers of the President did not in the case we are about to consider, extend to the restitution of the fine which had been levied, or if the pardon, as issued, was not legally competent to produce the effect ascribed to it, then the constitution of the country has been violated—and if it may be violated with impunity in one instance, what security have we for its future safety.
Having made these preliminary remarks we come now more immediately to the subject of the present number.
In order to avoid being perplexed with useless controversy, and losing sight of the principal question, let us here state the leading features of the case itself.
On the 28th of May, 1800, James Thompson Callender, was legally convicted of a misdemeanor, and sentenced to pay a fine of two hundred dollars, to be imprisoned nine months, and find security for his good behaviour for a certain term "beyond the expiration of his imprisonment;" shortly after Callender had paid the fine into the hands of the Marshal, and after the term of his imprisonment had expired, a general pardon of the misdemeanor, remitting and releasing all pains and penalties incurred or to be incurred by reason thereof , was granted and sent to the Marshal. Doubts were suggested whether, having once received the money from Callender, the officer could legally pay it back to him. These doubts were communicated to the acting Secretary of State, who, after a delay of nearly a month, replied, that the question had been considered, and that a pardon remits and restores it to the party ; concluding with a direction to the Marshal to "restore the money to Mr. Callender;" which was accordingly done.
On this statement it will be maintained, first, that the President had no power to restore the fine after it had been levied; second, admitting him to be possessed of the right, yet that a charter of pardon simply, like the one in this case, could not without express words of restitution, have that operation. If I am successful in my attempt to establish these propositions, it will follow, that Mr. Jefferson has exceeded his constitutional powers, and violated the laws of his country. Surely this subject is interesting, although the investigation may be tedious; but however I may fail to amuse the multitude of readers, I flatter myself I shall receive the serious and candid attention of all men of reflection.
In discussing these two points, I shall confine myself strictly to the facts, leaving to another opportunity, a more particular enquiry into the President's motives. For the present, I shall take it for granted, that he was actually influenced by those ascribed to him in the papers devoted to his defence, particularly that printed at Worcester, under the immediate care and direction of the Attorney General, a desire to evince his opposition to the sedition act as an unconstitutional law. He is welcome to all the benefits to be derived from such a defence; and in truth, he must take up with this, or resort to one equally unjustifiable, and far more disgraceful. But to return—
First, the President has no power to return a fine once levied. The people of the United States, when they adopted the national constitution, not only directed that all executive powers should be vested in a President, but they defined and limited those powers in the instrument itself; no power, therefore, can be legally exercised by him unless given by express provision, or resulting by fair construction. I am no advocate for the diminution of those powers; I would be the last man to desire to place a limitation on the salutary prerogatives of the Executive; I consider them essentially necessary to the welfare and happiness of the people, and I would not, by any forced inference, attempt in any shape
to abridge them. But notwithstanding the liberality of this disposition, I am, & ever shall be, rigidly tenacious of the principle by which those powers are to be tested. We are to be governed by the constitution as we find it, not as it might be modified. If the powers of the Executive are too narrow, extend them by amendment, but not by the violation of the instrument. Till that is done we must take it as it is.
After the most careful examination of the constitution, I find no clause expressly authorizing the Executive to order the restitution of a fine , and thus divest the United States of monies, once legally vested for a payment to one of their officers, for their use. Since then the constitution contains no express provision of this sort, it remains only to enquire if any such power exists by fair implication? And here again I have to confess, that I can find no word or phrase which can be even brought to bear at all on the subject, except the single clause which confers on the President the right to grant reprieves and pardons.—And we are thus brought to the single consideration, whether the power to pardon offences necessarily implies a power of restitution ?
The term pardon in the English law books, is applicable to various subjects. There, the crown may pardon not only crimes and misdemeanors, but debts; and by a separate and distinct prerogative, may award restitution of goods and chattles or lands forfeited; here, however, the power of the President is expressly limited to the granting " reprieves and pardons for offences against the U. States, except in cases of impeachment. "—The question therefore resolves itself precisely into this; whether a right to pardon implies in its very essence, a power to restore a fine imposed, and already paid?
In England, All fines make a part of the ordinary revenue of the crown, and are paid into the exchequer the sole use of the king, who is the sole proprietor or possessor thereof, and who may therefore order restitution. But even there, although in the words of Blackstone, "the effect of a pardon simply is to make the offender a new man; to acquit him of all corporal penalties and forfeitures * annexed to that offence for which he obtains his pardon, it will not operate to restore a fine without express words of restitution . In this country fines are not paid into the exchequer for the use of the President, but into the treasury for the use of the U. STATES—The theory of our government never once contemplated a power in the Executive over the Treasury, in any shape. And here it is we take the material distinction, in reference to this subject between the king of Great Britain and the President of the United States. It may now, perhaps, be proper, before we go any farther, to examine the English law more particularly as the power of the Crown, to grant pardons. I hold it to have been long since indisputably settled, by a course of authorities, that where the subject, or subjects generally, have an interest in the fine, there the Crown cannot interpose to order restitution to this point authorities shall be produced.—
"A pardon does not discharge a thing in which the subject has a property or interest." Resolved, 5 Cro. 31, a 3 Mod. 56, Cro. Car. 357, 8.
"A penalty upon a conviction for deer stealing is not discharged by a pardon for it is a forfeiture to the party grieved and he hath an interest in the penalty." Semb. 1 Salk. 33, 4.
"The Crown's share only of a forfeiture is pardoned by an act of general pardon." Temp. Anu. Parker 280.
"After an action popular, brought tam pro domino quam pro ipso , according to any statute, the king cannot discharge but his own part, and cannot discharge the informers part." 3 Cro. Ins. 338. Str. 530, 1272. 21 Geo. II.
Thus we see, that while the law allows the king his full prerogative where he alone is concerned, it is scrupulously vigilant that he shall never exercise it where it in any manner interferes with the rights of others; and although it cannot exclude the prerogative of pardon, it may prevent the exercise of the other prerogative of restitution from accompanying the pardon. The King can only restore money belongs to himself—that in which no one else has an interest; but in the theory of our government it is not once con-
* The words made use of by the President are "all pains and penalties"
templated that any part of the public money which belongs to the executive.—Reasoning therefore by far analogy from the case above cited, it follows, that as the United States have the sole interest in the penalty levied, the President can have no right to order it restored, or in any way to interfere with it. But we are not even left to inference on this important subject:—When once a fine is levied, it becomes a vested part of the national revenue, and subjected to the disposition of Congress only; to whom alone all power of this nature is expressly intrusted by the Constitution.—" No money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in consequence of appropriation by law. " Could words more strong be found to guard public property? I am induced, however, to believe that the Attorney General, then Secretary of State pro tem , must have founded his opinion on this very clause: I fancy that, on looking at this phrase, the notion occurred to him that before a fine is paid into the Treasury, a pardon remits and restores it to the party. I am at a loss, indeed, to conjecture upon what other ground he has attempted the distinction between money paid into the treasury and money paid to officers, who by receiving it, become accountable for it to the treasury. The supposed novelty of the question, one would imagine must naturally have excited his attention; its importance, in an abstract view, could hardly have escaped him, and the responsibility of his situation as Counsellor of the President in all important law points, must have imposed it upon him as his duty to examine it with the most cautious deliberation.—Yet after all, it will be found, that he has proceeded upon a distinction without any solid difference. The constitution supposed that all monies belonging to the public, would be paid into the treasury; and for greater caution, meant by this clause to guard against unwarranted appropriations, it was taken for granted that no indirect applications for money would be made to any of its collecting officers, and therefore that it would be sufficient to admonish those who acted in the treasury, that they would not be justified in paying out any money with an express legal appropriation. The doctrine, however now contended for would render all such precautions wholly nugatory . Vain indeed has been this caution—id all the evaporative wisdom of the framers of our constitution, if the President of the United States can dispose of the public money as he pleases, at any time before it actually reaches the national treasury. This would render him the absolute and uncontrollable governor, if not proprietor, of all the public revenues. If it is law to proceed as he has done in the case before us, he may cancel all the Custom house bonds, or issue his warrants to the collectors of the custom and supervisors of the revenue, and discharge of whatever public money is in their hands, any time before it is lodged in the coffers of the treasury. What would be the consequence of such a doctrine, and how entirely it may be inferred from the opinion of the attorney general the people must judge.
We come now to the second proposition; namely, admitting the President to be possessed of the right, yet that a charter of pardon, without words of restitution , could not operate to restore the money. It will be perceived that here I am at issue with the Attorney General, who after several week's consideration delivered his opinion "that before a fine is paid into the treasury, a pardon remits and restores it to the party." In a case of this public moment however, we hope we shall stand excused, if we undertake to examine for ourselves what the law may be, uninfluenced by lofty names or exalted station. And in direct contradiction to this great law-officer, I shall maintain, that when a fine is once paid, it having become property vested, a charter of pardon does not imply its restitution.—To establish this doctrine the following authorities are conceived to be directly in point.
"In error upon outlawry pronounced upon indictment of murder, it was assigned for error, that at the capias, the king pardoned him all that in him is, all chattels and possessions ; and prayed that the outlawry be reversed, and that we have his chattels; and the judgment reversed, but he did not re-have his goods, for it seems that it ought to be by words of restitution & not by words of pardon ." B. Charters de pardon pl. 73. cites 9 H. 5. 14. 15.
"A pardon of an outlawry for felony does not restore his goods, or lands to

seized by the outlawry, without words of restitution . 2 Rol. Ab. 179, 1, 15. "A man is indicted of a trespass and outlawed at the suit of the King: Rex pardonavit utlagarium in eum promulgatum, et quicquid ad eum pertinet, et non-withstanding that the defendant shall make fine, for it seemeth that these words quicquid ad eum pertinet without any reference, are too general to dispense with the fine." 3 Ins. 239.
"A pardon of all forfeitures will not divest an interest vested in the king."—3 Mod. 2 Jac. 2 B. "As no pardon from the king shall divest any interest vested in the subject; so neither shall it, without words of restitution , even divest any thing from the king." Lev. S. 120. 2 Mod. 53 Saund. 352. 3 Mod. 111. Bac. 5. 296.
"If a man outlawed at the suit of a party be pardoned of the outlawry, yet he is not restored to his goods thereby : For the pardon shall not give restitution of goods . Br. Charters de pardon pl. 11. "Pardon by the king, without express words of restitution , shall not divest , either from the king or subject an interest, either in lands or goods, vested in them by an attainder or conviction precedent. 2 Hawk Pl. C. 296. cap. 37. 3. 54.
It must be remembered that the general doctrine is that a pardon acquits of "all corporal penalties and forfeitures annexed to the offence," yet we see it expressly adjudged that without specific words of restitution , no pardon can restore a fine levied.—After observing the uniform current of authorities, I confess myself utterly at a loss to conceive in what way the President, or Secretary of State, or the Attorney General, will attempt to support the opinion which has been given and acted upon. No lawyer will contend that any words or phrase in the pardon issued by the President, amount to words of restitution , but if any common reader should incline to such an opinion it may be observed, that the Attorney General himself has saved us the trouble of shewing that they do not, for he places the question precisely on the footing, that " a pardon of itself remits and restores a fine to the party ." Indeed it would have been in vain to have laid any stress upon the terms made use of by the President, for we have seen it decided, that the same, and much broader phraseology is held not to comprehend terms of restitution .
Thus then, unless I am entirely mistaken in the correctness and applicability of the law, and in my conscience I believe I am not, it appears, first, that the President was not empowered to order the restitution of the fine ; and secondly, that if he was, yet he has not in his charter of pardon made use of apt, legal words sufficient for such purpose. It therefore follows that here is not only an assumption of prerogative unknown to the Constitution, but a daring attempt to ascribe to an official act of the Executive an effect directly in the face of the law. This, however, ought not, perhaps, so much to excite surprise, for when one branch of the Government has the profligate audacity to attempt to market with derision a public statute, which had been regularly and formally enacted, it certainly can have little scruple to trample on all those forms, which the wisdom of our ancestors has established.
I have now completed the task I assigned myself when I began these numbers. It may be expected, perhaps, by those who remember that the eventual payment of the fine, was the purchase of a suppression of Callender's threatened narrative of the whole transaction, that some observations will here be made on the everlasting disgrace to which Mr. Jefferson has exposed himself, by the evident motives which induced him to persist in ordering the payment of the money after those doubts as to his legal powers had been fairly laid before him. But all remarks of this sort will find a place in the occasional editorial paragraphs of the day; it is desirable that no considerations of a personal nature should mix themselves with the greatest constitutional question. We shall be attentive to the first answer which may appear from any quarter, of sufficient respectability to entitle it to our notice, and it shall meet with an early attention. A fair, full and candid discussion is our object, and if we live, this discussion shall be had; nay, it shall be continued and repeated at every opportunity, and every attitude, till the great body of the people perfectly comprehend the subject, even in all its remote consequences.
It remains to be seen whether those in power, can by fair words and professions,
seduce the American nation to yield to direct and daring USURPATION.

A letter from a correspondent at Portsmouth, dated on Friday last, assures us, "That the result of the federal election for members of congress, in about 20 towns in the neighborhood of that city, is a majority of 54 votes for the federal republican ticket. In these 20 towns the majority last March for the democrats was 449. From this agreeable circumstance, and other accounts equally pleasing, from the towns more remote, we anticipate a very handsome majority."

John, captain Burthen, from St. Thomas, has politely favored us with the following information: "That a few days previous to his sailing from St. Thomas he left St. Vincents, where the English troops had arrived which were stationed at Surinam, and all the other ports formerly in possession of the Dutch; they being evacuated on the account of the arrival of the Dutch fleet with troops which have taken possession of all the stations."
On Monday evening last, sailed from this port the schr. Experiment, captain Cotterill, with 180 men and provisions on board, under the command of Messrs. Creighton, Grenell and Leacraft, Midshipmen, destined for the City of Washington, to join the United States frigate John Adams, now fitting out for the Mediterranean.
Alexandria Advertiser.
MONDAY SEPTEMBER 13.
Mr. DUANE has been kind enough to give the Alexandria Advertiser credit for a paragraph respecting Mr. Bayard and the late " infamous Judiciary Law," which never appeared in it, and as the editor is not very ambitious of taking from his neighbor that which is justly his due, he requests Mr. Duane will be good enough to place it to the credit of J. D. Westcott, as he presumes there must be a large balance due the Aurora by the Columbian Advertiser , late " The Times , &c."
The present proprietor of the Coffee-House being desirous of rendering as complete satisfaction to the subscribers as possible, requests a meeting on Wednesday next between the hours of twelve and two o'clock, to fix on what papers they wish taken for their benefit, and also to make some necessary regulations for the future government there-
of. A punctual and general attendance is particularly solicited.

FEDERALISM REVIVING.
With pleasure we present our readers with the following extract of a letter from a gentleman of the first respectability.
N. Y. E. Post.
"Mississippi Territory, Aug. 7.
"In the late election here for territorial representatives, a great change has been made for the better. The old members are almost all out, and had the federal part of the community known their strength on this occasion, none but real respectable men would have been elected."
"How have the republicans been treated? They have been abused en masse , and individually too. Why? Because they have been true to their professions, their principles, and their trust, and have endeavored to save the great body of the people, from a destructive system of anarchy; from being gulled by a few foreigners, Duane, Cheetham, Gallatin, &c. who constitute themselves, very impertinently, " the organs (or, as Callender will have it, the bag-pipes ) of the public will." Heaven preserve us from such organs! But these celebrated men are mistaken, I will not say designedly, although it looks like lying. Let the fiddle be placed upon the right horse. The fact is, that the people are the organ , upon which these fellows play what tune they please.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Logan county, Kentucky, to his friend at the Sweet Springs, dated July, 1802.
"A half skull bone very remarkable for size, has been found in sinking one of capt. Berry's salt wells deeper, since you left this place. It weighs 245 lbs. the eye hole so large that a common sized man can creep thro' it; the bone found and entire round the eye hole, not decayed as it is in other parts; the nostril is very large, and the cavity for the brains not larger than a pint bowl, so that the monstrous head could, never have contained more than one quart of brain. Some of the double teeth being found, weighed six pounds each. Stanton Pol. Mir."
The following paragraph is copied from a Rotterdam paper of June 25—it will serve, in one instance, to shew what an opinion is there entertained of the ' greatest man in America .' Was our national character ever before so degraded?
Tom Paine has experienced the greatest uneasiness imaginable ever since the signing of the Concordate between the Pope and the French government. The political & religious revolutions in France operate on his tender frame, the same as rough weather on certain fish. All within him is rage and turbulence. He declares it would have been more bearable and consistent, if Bonaparte had introduced Mahometanism! Mr. Jefferson seems to feel for his suffering friend, and is devoutly praying—but whether on his bended knees or not we don't know—that Tom may find the reward of his labors in the gratitude of nations! He did not think proper to stay for his reward in England, where Newgate yawned for him; and so high an opinion had Robespierre for his eminent services, that he would have remunerated him with the guillotining, if he had not been unwilling, at that time, to gratify the British government. Mr. Jefferson, in order to fulfil his wishes, must endeavour to prevail on the Chickasaw nation of Indians, now at peace with America, to confer some distinguished favor on his friend—if, for instance, it were only scalping !—We wish, more devoutly perhaps than the worthy President, that Tom may, as soon as possible, receive full compensation for all the good he has shed in Europe.
The following Resolutions were passed by the Legislature of Tennessee, at their last session.

Resolved further, That the members of the present General Assembly, do recommend to their successors, whoever they may be, to appear at the next session of assembly clothed in the manufacture of their own state.

SAMUEL BISHOP,
BOOKSELLER, & STATIONER
Respectfully informs the Public that he has received from Lee & Co's Patent and Family Medicine Store, Baltimore, a fresh assortment of the following Valuable Medicines,
Which are in high esteem and general use throughout the United States, many of them being sold cheaper than the drugs of which they are compounded, could be purchased at a retail Store.
TAKE NOTICE,
That S. Bishop is appointed the ONLY Agent for Alexandria.
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 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 breast, accompanied with soreness 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 Henly, 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 unskillful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females, at a certain period of life—and lying-in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of Nervous disorders, Consumption, Lowness of spirits, Loss of appetite, Impurity of the blood, Hysterical affections, Inward weakness, Seminal weaknesses, Fluor albus, (or whites) Barrenness, Violent cramps in the stomach and back, Indigestion, Melancholy, Gout in the stomach, Pains in the limbs, Relaxations, Involuntary emissions, Obsolete gleet, Impotency, &c. &c.
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 (or 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 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.

Sworn and subscribed before Ebenezer Ferguson, Esq. one of the justices of the peace for Philadelphia County.
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 from obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever of similar title, so commonly compounded as of 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 maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short, flat, white worm, and lastly, the Taenia, 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 puviation 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 like wise 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 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 waned 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 replet with very small living animal. Not one of that
lot 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.
Dr. HAHN'S TRUE AND GENUINE GERMAN CORN PLAISTER.
An infallible remedy for corns, speedily removing them, root and branch, without giving pain.
THE GENUINE PERSIAN LOTION,
So celebrated among the fashionable throughout Europe, as an invaluable cosmetic, perfectly innocent and safe, free from corrosive and repellent minerals (the basis of other lotions) and of unparalleled efficacy in preventing and removing blemishes in the face and skin of every kind, particularly freckles, pimples, inflammatory redness, scurf, tetter, ring worms, sun burns, prickly heat, &c.
The Persian Lotion operates mildly, without impeding that natural, insensible perspiration which is essential to health. Yet its salutary effects are speedy and permanent, rendering the skin delicately soft and clear, improving the complexion, and restoring the bloom of youth. Never failing to render an ordinary countenance beautiful, and an handsome one more so.
THE RESTORATIVE POWDER for the TEETH and GUMS.
This excellent preparation comforts and strengthens the gums, preserves the enamel from decay, and cleanses and whitens the teeth, by absorbing all that acrimonious slime & foulness, which suffered to accumulate, never fails to injure and finally ruin them.
Dr. HAHN'S GENUINE EYE-WATER.
A sovereign remedy for all diseases of the eyes, whether the effect of natural weakness or of accident, defluxions of rheum, dullness, itching and films on the eyes, never failing to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the small pox, measles and fevers, and wonderfully strengthening a weak sight. Hundreds have experienced its excellent virtues, when nearly deprived of sight.
TOOTH ACHE DROPS.
The only remedy yet discovered which gives immediate and lasting relief in the most severe instances.
THE SOVEREIGN OINTMENT for the ITCH,
Which is warranted an infallible remedy at one application, and may be used with perfect safety by pregnant women, or on infants a week old, not containing a particle of mercury, or any other dangerous ingredient whatever, and is not accompanied with that tormenting smart which attends the application of other remedies.

For the cure of every kind of head-ache.
INDIAN VEGETABLE SPECIFIC.
A safe and speedy remedy for the venereal disease.
"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."

IS RECOMMENDED
Dr. HAHN'S ANTI-BILIOUS PILLS.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every situation, and of every age.
They are excellently adapted to carry off superfluous bile, and prevent its morbid secretions—to restore and amend the appetite—to procure a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, which are often attended with fatal consequences—a dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for removing habitual costiveness—sickness at the stomach, and severe head ache—and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
Sold likewise by S. Pleasants, Richmond; Ross and Douglass, Petersburg; T. Green, Frederickburgh; G. Purdie, Smithfield; M. Jones, Suffolk; Dr. Miller, Winchester; R. Greenhow, Williamsburg; and F. Shaw, Leesburg.
