FROM THE FREDERICKTOWN HERALD.
COL. BUTLER'S TRIAL.
DEFENCE.
Mr. President, and Gentlemen of the Court--
(Continued.)
The part of this letter to which I now allude is the following--
War Department, April 16, 1802.
Sir, Since the letters were written of which I enclose you duplicates, information has been received from General Wilkinson that several alterations have been made in the position of the troops on the Ohio and Tennessee, in consequence of which difficulties may arise which had not been foreseen and to obviate which you will be pleased to direct the company of captain Johnson, and the detachment of Captain Purdy's company when formed agreeably to the orders of the Adjutant and Inspector in his letter to Lieut. Whipple should take post on the road between Nashville and Tennessee, and proceed in the business for which the troops were ordered there, until relieved or otherwise ordered by the commanding officer of South West Point, and that the company of captain Purdy be completed from the fourth regiment. The company of captain Lockwood and a subaltern and thirty non-commissioned officers and privates, to be transferred from the 4th to one of the companies of the second regiment, to be stationed at Fort Adams, must remain on the road between Tennessee and Nashville, until they can be relieved by one captain, two Subalterns, a suitable number of non commissioned officers, and one hundred privates, from Fort Adams.
Before proceeding to relate, how the arrangements in the foregoing letter were carried into effect by me, it is proper to explain, that from the position pointed out by the secretary to be occupied by the troops when formed, I was led to suppose that there was inadvertently an error in the letter in naming Nashville instead of Natchez as the point intended from which the last mentioned company were to commence their labours--for reasons which were immediately notified in my answer to the secretary, of May the 19th, Number 13, of which the following is an extract.
You will pardon me sir, in observing that I do not perfectly comprehend the disposition pointed out for captain Lockwood's Company and the thirty non commissioned officers and privates, which you have ordered to be transferred from the fourth to one of the companies of the 2d regiment to be stationed at Fort Adams, as you direct that they shall be stationed on the road between Tennessee and Nashville, until they can be relieved by one capt. two subalterns, a suitable number of non commissioned officers and one hundred privates from Fort Adams. From the position of the post sir, from which the relief is to be ordered to relieve them, a doubt arises in my mind that your intention was to fix them between Natchez and Tennessee, and that the said company and detachment should descend the Mississippi to the Bayou Pierre; or to the place where the troops in that quarter had been at labor, and there recommence opening the road towards Tennessee, otherwise I cannot see how they are to be relieved from Fort Adams.
According to my opinion expressed in the foregoing communication, with which was transmitted a map of the road from Nashville to Tennessee already inspected by you gentlemen, it only remains for me briefly to recapitulate--that I continued to prepare craft for the movement of the troops as soon as ordered; that I set the troops to opening the public road from the 48 mile tree to the Tennessee River; that the officer commanding the working party gained the river on the 6th of July, where he received my orders to return to the Cantonment 28 miles in advance of Nashville to rest and refresh the troops; that I then caused a survey of the road to be completed from Nashville to the said cantonment, and made further arrangements for finishing that part; my instructions to capt. Purdy of the 25th of May, to recommence on the road, have been already referred to as number 15; and you have also had the duplicate of my orders to the officer on command, number 25, dated the 2d of August. On the 7th of the same month, it will be moreover found, that a large boat was prepared; but having received no further instructions for the movement of the troops, and the Cumberland river becoming extremely low, I ordered the arms and equipments of the disbanded troops to be put on board, as well as all other public stores, and directed an officer to fall down the Cumberland River with the boat, below a difficult pass called the Ha path Shoals, over which the boat would manifestly have not been able to get if longer detained, and there to wait orders from the honorable the secretary of War. Thus fully and faithfully was the first part of the order for organization, and every other instruction connected with it, carried into effect and respectfully obeyed, so far as it could depend upon me.
(To be Continued.)
Very late from London.
NEW-YORK, April 5.
The King of England, it appears, was on the recovery. The subject of his illness had been taken up in Parliament.
The sailing of the French fleet from Toulon is contradicted.
Dispatches had been received from Lord Nelson, giving an account of the ill treatment of the English Consul by the Dey of Algiers; at which place his lordship had appeared, with part of his squadron, and demanded satisfaction; which the Dey refused to give. His lordship thought it improper to commence hostilities without the consent of his Government, and had wrote home for orders.
Captain Howard, of the John Morgan, informs us, that on leaving the Downs the 8th of March he was visited by a Lieutenant from on board Lord Keith's fleet, who informed him, that he had that morning received information of a conspiracy against Bonaparte, at the head of which was the celebrated Moreau, and several other distinguished characters. All of whom had been detected. Moreau and several others had made their escape. And further informed, that the British government had dispatched three or four cutters off to their (Moreau, &c.) assistance. Several men of war sailed for the French coast, the day capt. Howard left there: Some of them steered for Cherbourg, off which place he heard a heavy firing before he lost sight of the coast.
The invasion was still hourly expected, and the king was recovering; an interesting debate had taken place in the House of Commons, instigated by Sir R. Lawley's calling the attention of the House to the present distressive situation of his Majesty, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer refusing to afford the explanation required, in which Mr. Pitt, Mr. Fox, Mr. Windham, and Mr. Grey, J. Grenville, Canning and Tierney, took a part; its extreme length precludes insertion.
By the John Morgan, from London, we understand, that 2 ships of the line, 5 frigates and a number of cutters, under the command of Lord Keith, had sailed from the Downs on the 8th March, and began a heavy fire on Boulogne, which was plainly to be perceived by the people on board the John Morgan. Our Commissioners had finished their business about 4 weeks previous to the 3d March, and all but Mr. Trumbull, sailed for America.
One of the passengers in the John Morgan informs us, that, he was told by the mate of the ship Chatham, on the 8th of March, that he had received a letter from Capt. Chew, commander of said ship, then at London, stating that the British government had issued orders to prevent the sailing of all vessels from England. The Chatham was from this port bound to Amsterdam, but was ordered away from that port by the British.
LONDON, March 1.
Two French ships of the line had escaped from P'Orient into Rochefort, making a force there of four sail, one of which was a three decker, all which were blockaded by a squadron of four British ships. Sir Edward Pellew was as usual, watching four French ships and the Dutchman off Ferroll; but his force was diminished to four sail.
March 2.
Dispatches have been received from Lord Nelson. They are said to relate chiefly to a misunderstanding subsisting between his Lordship and the Dey of Algiers, which is said to have arisen in the following circumstance: It may be remembered that some time since the British Consul (John Falcon, Esq.) and the Dey were not on very friendly terms. The misunderstanding had long subsisted, but the breach was much widened by a charge being lately made against the Consul that he harboured Moorish women in his house, a usage not allowed by the laws of Mahomet. By French intrigue the women were introduced into the Consul's house during his absence, and therein found by the guards who were sent in search. In consequence of this circumstance, Mr. Falcon was ordered away, and otherwise treated with much indignity.
The British Consul immediately wrote home to government, apprising them of the situation of affairs, in consequence of which they sent instructions to Lord Nelson to apply to the Dey to get Mr. Falcon reinstated. His Lordship, on receipt of the dispatches (being then off Toulon,) proceeded immediately with a part of his squadron, to Algiers, and on his arrival sent a polite note, requesting that the Dey would allow him to explain the above business. The Dey refused. Lord Nelson then said, that if the Dey would not con-
sent to do justice to the British Consul he must be under the necessity of compelling him by force.
The Dey's answer was, that if Lord Nelson fired a single gun, he would consider it as a declaration of hostilities, and immediately open the batteries against his ships. Lord Nelson not having instructions to proceed to extremities, has sent the particulars of the affair to Government, and waits their answer to govern his conduct in this curious affair.
In our paper of Wednesday we made brief mention of a report which has obtained of Lord Nelson having captured a part of the Toulon fleet. Upon enquiry we do not find that his Lordship's dispatches received on that day make any mention of the enemy having sailed; those, however, are dated as far back as the 20th of January.
This day, further accounts have been received from the Noble Admiral of some days later date, brought by Mr. Falcon, our late Consul, at Algiers, who arrived on Tuesday at Falmouth in the Townsend Packet from Lisbon. Mr. Falcon, left Lord Nelson cruising off Toulon, the French force being then in harbour, consisting of ten sail of the line and several smaller vessels. At Lisbon Mr. Falcon heard a report of their having sailed, but of this he did not encourage any belief.
Letters from Admiral Cornwallis's squadron as late as the 22d of Feb. state, that the Road off Brest was very carefully examined on the 20th of this month, when the number of enemy's ships lying in the outer road, and all apparently fit for sea, was as follows:
Ships of the line, 18, of which four are three deckers; frigates, 14, gunboats, 32; large transports 21.
To oppose which, the Admiral had collected off Ushant; ships of the line, 20, ten of which were three-deckers.
The Duke of Cumberland, Laurence, takes the Mail of the 7th of March, for New-York and Halifax.
March 3.
We received this morning accounts from Lisbon and Malaga. To the calamity of the yellow fever, from which Malaga had just escaped, have been added the horrors of an earthquake, which began on the 13th of Jan. and did much damage. The particulars have not transpired; but from the 13th to the 23d, scarcely a day passed without two, three or more shocks being felt.
The Portuguese Government have, it is said, been required to pay more money to France.
His Majesty's indisposition was again alluded to yesterday in the House of Commons by Mr. Grey. He asked Mr. Addington, whether in the information he had communicated to the House he distinctly meant to assert, that the personal exercise of the royal Authority was not suspended; and if such was his meaning, whether that assertion was founded on his own knowledge in consequence of personal access to his majesty or from the information of all the Physicians now attending upon his majesty.
Mr. Addington in reply referred to what he had said on Monday, with the addition that he had not had personal access to his Majesty, but that a better criterion had been afforded him, whereon he formed that opinion, he meant the concuring sentiments of all the five physicians attending his Majesty.
Mr. Grey, immediately after Mr. Addington had spoken, said, that if affairs continued in the state in which they were at present, he should submit a motion to the House upon the subject next week.
We understand, however, that his Majesty's recovery is advancing rapidly. It is said that he was well enough yesterday, to sign some papers sent to the Queen's House from the Admiralty.
The Bulletin of to day is as follows:
"There is no material alteration in his majesty since yesterday."
Last night a rumour was once more circulated of an insurrection having broke out in Paris, in consequence of the excessively high price of provisions, and an attempt having been made to assassinate the First Consul. We merely mention this report as it reached us, without attaching to it much credit.
Last month we inserted from the Liverpool papers an account of some large importations of gold and silver specie from Philadelphia, chiefly the coins of the United States. We are glad to say it still continues from different ports of America into Liverpool, so that we shall be able to import the gold and silver Eagles of America as fast as the mint of the United States can coin them. The importation of British goods into America is still increasing, and the exchange is five per cent. in favor of Britain. We are happy to inform our readers that the Glasgow manufacturers have also received remittances of late from America in gold and silver Eagles. The following we extract from the Glasgow paper: "Arrived the Sarah, captain Snowden, from Charleston, with 650 bags cotton, and nineteen boxes of specie; the boxes of gold and silver are addressed to Suntries, viz: Lindsay, Dilmryple, Dickson, Arnott, Austin, George Wilson, &c. all manufacturers in Glasgow."

To the Common Council of Alexandria.
The PETITION of the FORESTALLERS, Respectfully represents,
That your petitioners now are, and for a considerable time past have been extensively engaged in the business of forestalling, which they have followed with all that industry and attention, which is necessary in their calling. That they feel themselves much aggrieved and oppressed by a law of the Corporation, which prevents their purchasing such articles as are usually brought to market, before 10 o'clock; they therefore request your honorable body to repeal the law, so as to enable them to purchase provisions (including fish of every description) at all times and places when it may suit their convenience.
That your petitioners being conscious of the very important service they have rendered the Town through the Winter, by furnishing the citizens with every article of marketing at very reasonable prices (at no time exceeding 75 per cent. advance) and saved them the trouble of going to market, and the country people of carrying provisions, &c. there, feel confident that your honorable body will consider it not only just, but good policy to allow them a bounty in future, on all marketing by them purchased and sold; and in order to make the payment of it as easy as possible, they beg leave with great deference to suggest the propriety of selling the Market-house (now of little use) and paying the bounty out of the interest of the money arising from the sale, which with the salary given to the clerk of the market (who they request may be immediately removed) would be sufficient to encourage them to pursue their profession.
That although many of your petitioners at present pay little or nothing towards the support of the town, yet in a few years from their unremitting industry, they expect if properly encouraged, to acquire very large estates, the taxes on which would be of great benefit, except your honorable body should be of the opinion (which they hope will be the case) that so useful a class of citizens should be exempted from any tax whatever.

WARNING VOICE.
[The following is copied from a late "Repertory," as an article of great beauty. If we have any shrewdness in developing authors, it is from the prolific pen of the American Burke, whose labors have done honor, not only to the literature and eloquence of our country; but will prove the means, it is hoped, among other auxiliaries of curbing the wild and licentious spirit of modern philosophism.]
JACOBINISM is the government of demagogues, who, to manage the passions of the people, must stir them up to fury. It is therefore in its very nature, violent and revolutionary. We have seen what it is by its effects in France. Jeffersonism is a species of Jacobinism differing very little from its violence, a little less courage, and a good deal more hypocrisy.
What is Federalism? It is an habitual submission to the restraints of law and good government. It is that spirit of subordination guided and enlightened by that set of principles that Washington has unfolded in his last Address. Nobody can mistake, unless it be wilfully, what federalism is. It is as far removed from Jeffersonism, as truth is from falsehood, honor from meanness, Washington from Jefferson.
To drag the dark demon of Jacobinism into day, is no hard task, to vindicate federalism is easy enough, for Washington's example and his address explain and fix its character and creed. But to bind the Jacobin demon in chains, and in order to do it, to rouse numb federalism into life and action, is a task, not wholly to be despised of, but never to be accomplished, until genius, learning and eloquence, combine to flash light and fire from the press and Congress hall; and until the men who own money, or farms, see and tremble while they see, that Jacobinism will never desist till it has despoiled them. It is in vain that we have warnings, inasmuch as three years experience, shews we will not take them. We seem predestined to SLEEP and PERISH—and that quickly.
Reports of CASE argued and determined in the Supreme Court of CUPID. Hiemal Term—Anno Amoris, 5808.
PENDARVIS vs. ACKORYD.
THIS was an action on the case for pressing the plaintiff's hand while carrying down a dance in an assembly room.
For the defendant it was urged that she had been frequently in company with the plaintiff, that she had ever treated him with very great civility and that she had positively shewn, by her manner, that she was much charmed with his society; and moreover that the defendant being partial to had, and thought this a favorable opportunity of testifying his affection, by pressing the hand of the plaintiff.
To the former part of the plea the plaintiff replied, that he had ever been taught to treat with complaisance those, whose conduct and situation justly required it, but, she was confident she had not given the Defendant any reasonable ground for supposing himself the object of her peculiar regard, and that his supposition amounted at best to very feeble presumption. A Demurer was put in the latter part of the plea that the defendant could not plead in justification, what he fays a "favorable opportunity" of pressing the hand of the plaintiff, such conduct being in direct violation of the statute in that case made and provided. By the Court. Civility is of very great consequence in the female character, but it is at least expedient that females should be cautious in directing and exercising it; and although it is improper to presume on the favorable opinion of a lady without ample testimonial, had the Plaintiff in the present case given positive encouragement to the Defendant, something might be urged in his extenuation. However as it was known by the defendant that the plaintiff possessed an uncommon degree of politeness and as the defendant had actually violated the statute, judgment must be given for the plaintiff.

Senator Wright.—It is said that citizen Wright arrived the other day in Baltimore, without the Capitol, which he had intended to carry off on his shoulders.—Various conjectures were made as to the cause of this disappointment. Some say that Findley pulled it away from Wright, packed it up in "a large wooden box" and actually set out to Philadelphia with it. Others insisted that Beau Dawson has put it into his ridicule and with Randolph's assistance, carried it to Mr. Jefferson at the president's House. But others report, and this agrees with the latest accounts we have had from the city, that an old gentleman by the name of Public Faith , laid hold of the Capitol and would not suffer it to be moved from the spot where it was originally placed, and notwithstanding he had been very much beaten, abused, maimed, and weakened of late by certain men high in power, he yet had strength enough to save the Capitol & drive of all his enemies and that it still stands unhurt on Capitol Hill in the city of Washington, where we hope and trust it will stand forever.

Dr. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR, A foreign remedy for Colds, Outward 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 breast, accompanied with formalis 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, brought 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—bad lying in, &c. &c. And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparallelled in the cure of    Nervous disorders,  Violent cramps in the    Consumptions,  stomach and back,    Loss of Spirits,  Indigestion,    Loss of appetite,  Melancholy,    Impurity of the blood,  Gout in the stomach,    Hysterical affections,  Pains in the limbs,    Inward weakness,  Relaxations,    Senial 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 makes 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. 19, 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.  JOHN HOOVER. Sworn and subscribed before Ebenezer Forster, 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 form obstructions or outlets in the stomach and bowels. This medicine bears an analogy whatever of familiar title, to common only 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 are the best and mildest purgative that can be used 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 Tere the Terec or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small thread 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 is 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—Staring and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purging, with slimy and foetid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed. Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms should have immediate recourse to HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described. A dose of this medicine given occasionally during the warm season, will effectually prevent the vomiting and purging of children, a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands of the infant part of our cities. It is likewise the mildest and most certain remedy known and has restored to health and strength a great number when in an advanced stage of this fatal complaint. Particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the necessary treatment in such cases. Children generally take this medicine with eagerness; having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
CASES OF CURES—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 was 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 a bout 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 mercurius but upon close inspection quite repleat with very small living animals. Not one of that sort of worms which usually infest 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 repellant materials (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 a 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 and fluffiness, which suffered to accumulate, never fails to injure and finally ruin them.
Dr. HAHN'S GENUINE EYE-WATER. A foreign 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, containing not 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.
THE ANODYNE ELIXIR. 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." For the prevention and cure of bilious and malignant fevers.
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—sickens at the stomach and severe head-ache—and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
