MANAGEMENT OF THE SINKING FUND.
No. V.
AFTER attempting to maintain his extraordinary doctrine, Secretary Gallatin assumes a different position, and con- tends, that more than 7,300,000 dollars have, exclusively of the payment to the bank, been applied, during the year 1802, towards the further redemption by pay- ment of the debt of the United States, and that after having paid the interest and in- stalments which fell due during that year, the purchase of about three millions and half of guilders, remitted to Holland, towards the payment of the Dutch debts falling due next year, was a faithful, legal and proper execution of the law.
With respect to the payment of 1,910, 000 dollars made to the bank of the Unit- ed States, the whole of it, except 2,400 dollars, ought undoubtedly to be excluded from the account. The proceeds of the bank shares belonging to the United States, amounting to 1,287,600 dollars; and secretary Gallatin himself, in his of- ficial report, has stated these proceeds as distinct from the annual appropriation for the year 1802. What is more decisive, the bank shares were not appropriated to the sinking fund; nor were their proceeds declared to be vested in the commission- ers, by the act of the 31st of May, 1796. Yet this is the act under which it has been attempted to justify the sale of the shares lately belonging to the United States.— Let any person examine it with attention, he cannot find in any section of it, that the bank shares or their proceeds were e- ver appropriated and vested as part of the sinking fund.
With these incidental remarks, the sub- ject of the bank shares is dismissed. And this is done the more readily, as the trans- action has been examined and exposed, in congress, by the talents of Bayard & Gris- wold. We return, therefore, to the main position assumed by Secretary Gallatin. He contends, that, after having paid the interest and instalments which fell due during the year 1802, the purchase of a- bout three millions and a half of guilders, remitted to Holland, towards the pay- ment of the Dutch debt which fell due next year, was a faithful, legal, and pro- per execution of the law. The triad of epithets will not prove this assertion to be correct; and he comments, with labori- ous minuteness, on the third section of the act. The third section, he says, directs the commissioners to pay, eve- ry year, the interest accruing and the instalments or parts of principal falling due during that year, and then proceeds in the following words: "And also it shall be the duty of the commissioners to cause to be applied the surplus of such fund as may at any time exist, after satis- fying the purposes aforesaid, towards the further and final redemption, by payment or purchase, of the present debt of the U. States."
In attending to this clause he particu- larly relies on the force of the word, to- wards, as the sheet anchor of his argu- ment. It would seem, however, as if the true construction of the clause might be apprehended, without much difficulty, by any person competent to be secretary of the treasury. Those who understand the fiscal arrangements of the United States need not be informed, that the public debt comprehends various species of stock, some of which are reimburseable at pleasure, while others are reimburseable by instal- ments. An extinguishing annuity of eight per cent. is payable on the funded six per cent. and deferred stocks. And the reimbursement of the eight per cent. stock is postponed, by contract, until the principal instalments of the foreign debt shall have been paid. As to any of these species of debt, if it is intended to dis- charge more than is reimburseable, by con- tract, in any one year, the stock must be purchased in market. But the other spe- cies of debt, reimburseable at pleasure, may be discharged, at any time, by pay- ing the nominal sum of the principal, or by purchasing such of the stock as can be obtained under par. The laws of the U. S. therefore, contemplate two modes of extinguishing the debt—payment and purchase.
Every person who understands the language of the country must know that the final redemption of the whole debt will be effected when the last cent is discharged, and not before. When any part except the last, of the public debt is discharged by the application of the public
monies this is an application of those mo- ies towards the final redemption.
In speaking of pecuniary transactions, the word towards is correctly used with reference to payments in part. When a person, indebted to a merchant on bond and on book account makes a payment in part of what he owes, and the sum is applied either to the bond or to the ac- count at the option of the debtor, the money in this case, is applied towards the final discharge of the whole debt.— This phraseology is conformable to the established usage among men of business and information, who have been educated in the country. Numerous examples to the like effect have been found in the ap- propriation laws of the United States.— It is sufficient to mention two. By an act of the 23d of February 1802, entit- led an act making certain partial appro- priations for the year 1802, the sum of sixty thousand dollars was appropriated towards defraying the expenses of the pay of the army. Another example is in the act of the 2d of April, 1802, entitled An Act making a partial appropriation for the support of Government during the year one thousand eight hundred and two.— It appropriates the sum of 100,000 dol- lars towards defraying the expenditure of the civil list. In each of those cases, it must have been well known, that the sum appropriated was but in part of the amount which was finally to be paid; and the phraseology is adopted to convey that idea with precision. Who indeed, will pretend, that the sum of 7,000 000 dol- lars could now be applied to the final re- demption of an existing debt of more than 70 300,000 dollars? It can be applied only towards such redemption. The in- terest and instalments, as they fall due at various periods within the callender year, are to be first discharged out of the annual appropriation of 7,300,000 dollars; and then a further portion of debt must be extinguished by payment or purchase. In this manner the appropriated monies are to be applied. Each application is an extinguishment of a portion either of in- terest or principal. Without such ex- tinguishment, there is no application in fact. And an application in fact is the only mode of satisfying the public credi- tors, however an application in theory may be admired by the manager of the sinking fund.
Enough, it is presumed, if not much more than enough, has now been said, respecting the construction of the words applied, towards the further and final re- demption of the debt. In apology for say- ing so much, let it be considered, that se- cretary Gallatin appears to place his main reliance on the particular phraseology of the third section. Take his argument in his own words, and mark how he remem- bers to omit some of the significant parts of the clause, while there is an affectation of reasoning on the whole. He expresses himself in this manner—"The words by payment or purchase," are, according to the strict sense of the sentence, con- nected with the word, "redemption;" the further and final redemption is to be effected by payment or purchase; the ap- plication of monies which the commission- ers may legally effect, is towards the far- ther redemption: the subtlety of the ob- jection seems to consist in making the words "by payment" depend immediate- ly on the words "to cause to be applied," from which it would result, that the ap- plication, instead of being, as expressed by the law, towards a redemption, which re- demption must, when effected, be effected by payment or purchase, would be confined to an immediate payment; and as the purchase of bills is not an immediate pay- ment, but a provision towards a future payment, such purchases would be exclu- ded from that authorization in the law.— Not only that construction is not justified by the strict sense of the words as con- nected with the sentence; but if it was adopted, it must follow that there did not not exist nor ever had existed (for the phraseology of this sentence is transcribed from preceding laws) any authority what- ever in the commissioners of the sinking fund to provide in time for the payment of the Dutch debt. They must, accord- ing to that new construction, be bound in the application of the surplus of the fund to an immediate payment; and not be permitted to purchase remittances for the purpose of making a payment the en- suing year. For this is the only clause which authorises the commissioners to make any payment other than for the pay- ment of interest and principal falling due that year; and if it forbids them to make
the purchase of bills under the appropria- tion of 7,300,000 dollars, it forbids them altogether, there being no words in the clause, limiting its effects to that approp- riation." The perplexed obscurity of these observations of secretary Gallatin is worthy of the entanglement of accounts in his report. After what has already been said, his comment on particular words of the clause would receive unmeri- ted attention, were it now honoured with a further refutation. Some of his more ge- neral assertions will be the subject of a future animadversion. ALFRED.
NEW YORK, August 17.
The Committee of Health, report the occurrence of 7 deaths and 24 new cases of the prevailing fever, for the 24 hours proceeding 5 o'clock last evening.
One of the deaths was at Bellevue—the other six in the city.
The following address from the French Senate and Tribunate were presented to the First Consul on the 26th May.— They better ascertain the sentiments and conduct of the government than columns of speculative comment:
Address presented by the Senate in a body to the Chief Consul.
"Citizen Chief Consul,
"The senate has examined with all the attention which the interest of their country requires, the official papers com- municated to it concerning the treaty of Amiens. In your resistance to the viola- tion of that treaty, it has observed reason and justice, and in the negotiations which took place by your orders, a love of peace.
"England wishes to grasp at the commerce of the whole world; it wishes to cover the seas with its fleets, and to stifle industry even in the bosom of every state. The French Consul will not suffer the English dominion in the Mediterranean —he will assert the independence of com- merce, and the liberty of every sea. He has revived manufactures in France by opposing to the monopoly of England barriers similar to those which she her- self has for so many years opposed to the commerce of France.—Such is the motive of the war which she has dared to kindle up: the cause which the Chief Consul defends is that of all nations.
"Your moderation, Citizen Chief Consul, has been so great, that it had need of being protected by your glory; it has manifested to all Frenchmen the religious attention which you pay to every thing in which they are interested; it has doubled their confidence, their gratitude, and their love: it has doubled their strength and their zeal to defend that national Majes- ty, the image of which is more and more loved to contemplate in the Consular Ma- jesty, and of which you are once more to be the avenger. When they read in the first answers given on your part to the hostile message of the King of England, these words equally noble and pacific:— "The Chief Consul considers it glorious on this occasion to be taken unawares," they will, with one voice, exclaim— "Three powerful guarantees are always ready in France—the love of the people towards the Chief of the State, the valour of the army, and the genius of the Chief Consul!"
Address of the Tribunate to the Chief Con- sul, by citizen Trouve, President.
"Citizen Chief Consul,—The Tribu- nate, in the sitting of the day before yes- terday, decreed, that it should go in a body to express to Government the fol- lowing sentiments:—
"The Tribunate, in virtue of the right given to it by the 23d article of the 3d title of the constitution, after examining the negotiation which has been carried on between the Republic and England; con- vinced that the government has done eve- ry thing to preserve peace that the honor of the French people could endure; that the British Cabinet, however, in this ne- gotiation, has employed unusual forms, false allegations, unjust demands, and even acts of hostility; that the peace al- lowed to France must be purchased by the infraction of a solemn Treaty, by in- jury towards its Allies—decrees, that the following sentiments may be conveyed to the Government by the Tribunate in a body.—The Tribunate wishes that the most energetic measures may be imme- diately taken, to cause to be respected the faith of Treaties, and the dignity of the French people!
"Citizen Chief Consul, in conveying to you this wish agreeably to the senti- ment of the whole Republic, the Tribu-

ate will not repeat the expressions of its admiration for the attitude you have so long preserved. The government has shown itself calm because itself just—it remained passive to provocation, because it was strong in its loyalty. Nor will the Tribune praise you for having rejected every idea which would have degraded the national dignity; you are the First Magistrate of France, and honour to the French was always a religious duty. But they come to thank you for having trusted to their devotion; for having foreseen that their courage would correspond to their energy: for having thus proved beforehand, that if England entertained any hope of intestine divisions it calumniated all the French citizens, and made a calculation as false as injurious. Never has any power better demonstrated this truth, known in all ages "Inquiry has belied itself."
"Citizen Chief Consul, glory seemed for you to have exhausted all her gifts; when she opens to you a new source, it gives us great pleasure to receive from you an assurance, that the operations of war will not interrupt the cares of peace; of all the kinds of happiness which your mind is invited to taste, that of having wished, of having prepared, and of having established the happiness of thirty millions of people, will always be to you the most affecting and most valuable of rewards."
The Chief Consul, after returning answers to the Legislative Body and the Tribune, held a conversation with them, of which the following is the substance:
"We are forced to make war to repel an unjust aggression. We will make it with glory. The sentiments by which the grand bodies of the state are animated, and the spontaneous movement which conveys them to the government on this important occasion, are a happy presage."
"The English government seems even to have been obliged to deceive the nation in the official communication it has made. It has taken care to keep back all those papers which were of such a nature as to make known to the English people the moderation and conduct of the French Government during the whole negotiation. Some of the notes which the British Ministers have published are mutilated in the most important passages. The remainder of the papers communicated to the Parliament contains an extract from dispatches of some public or private agents. It belongs only to these agents to contradict or acknowledge their reports, which can have no influence in debates of importance, since their authenticity is at least as uncertain as their veracity. A part of the details which they contain are materially false, and particularly in regard to the conversation supposed to have taken place between the Chief Consul and Lord Whitworth, in the private audience given to that Minister."
"The justice of our cause is acknowledged even by our enemies, since they refused to accept the mediation offered by the Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia, two Princes whose spirit of justice is acknowledged by all Europe."
"The English government thinks that France is a province of India, and that we have not the means of asserting our reasons, or of defending our just rights against an unjust aggression. Strange incongruity of a government which has armed its nation by telling it that France wished to invade it! We find among the papers published by the English government a letter of the minister Talleyrand to a commissioner of Foreign Relations. This is a mere circular form addressed to the commercial agents of the republic. It is agreeable to the usage established in France since the time of Colbert, and the same exists amongst most of the powers of Europe. The whole nation knows whether our commercial agents in England are military men as the British ministry affirm. Before these functions were intrusted to them, they belonged for the most part to the council of prizes, or the civil administration."
"If the King of England is resolved to keep Great Britain in a state of war, till France acknowledges his right of executing or violating treaties at his pleasure, as well as the privilege of insulting the French government in official or private publications, without being able to complain, the fate of mankind must be pitied. We will certainly leave to our posterity the French name, always honored and spotless. We will maintain our right to make such regulations among ourselves as may be suited to our public administra-
tion, and such tariffs in our custom-houses as our commerce and our industry may require."
"Whatever circumstances may be, we shall always allow England to set the example in violent proceedings, contrary to the peace and independence of nations; and it will receive from us that example of moderation which alone can maintain social order."
PHILADELPHIA, August, 17th. We have seen a letter from Cape François dated the 25th July, from a very respectable merchant there, which states, that several American vessels had arrived to a very excellent market; but that the government instantly seized on their cargoes, for which they pay one third in produce, and the residue in a new description of Bills. No individual dare purchase: and in consequence of these arbitrary and lawless acts of the government, all confidence in it was destroyed.
Alexandria Advertiser. SATURDAY, AUGUST 20.
In our reviews of the conduct of the democrats, on the 4th of July last, we have hitherto avoided commenting on the way in which they handled the revered memory of Washington. The prints professed to the party, still echoing their virtuous toasts on that day, we have judged it high time to develop their meaning on that occasion. When we recollect, that those sentiments are not the result of the moment—nor prepared at the festive board, when the circling glass might have inflamed the brain—but penned coolly and deliberately a day or two before, we may calculate upon their being the real sentiments of the company.
The memory of that great and good man, was handled with consummate art; but the veil was instantly torn aside, and discovered the St. Tammany society at New York, either totally ignorant of the meaning of their toast, or wilfully insulting his manes.
Did they mean to convey respect, when they compared Washington to Themistocles? The stile and connection of the whole sentence would warrant such an idea from a superficial observer; but those who have only a small smattering of history, will soon perceive a gross insult therein, upon the memory of the Father of our Country.
Robertson, in his history of Greece, says, that Themistocles was a plebeian by birth, ambitious, and in several instances instigated sedition in Athens. When opposed by Aristides, impatient of controul from that rigid censor, he resolved to free his hands of him at once. For that purpose he privately formed a faction, who procured a sentence of banishment upon his opponent.
On the whole Themistocles appears to have been the very character, which in our days we call a Democrat.—He could flatter and deceive the people, for his aggrandizement; and by craft supplant those who stood betwixt him and power. The designs of the Demagogue were, however, at length discovered, and he in his turn was exiled.
What affinity the sons of St. Tammany can find between Themistocles and Washington, we know not—but we find the insult little short of that thrown upon Adams, Jay, and Chase.

But, as this rational and instructive amusement, is yet new to a number of our fellow citizens, we shall briefly lay before them the antiquity and progress of the Theatre; ere we proceed to criticise on the performers of the Alexandria Company.
As far as tradition reaches back, we are informed of the Stage. Many centuries before the Christian era, it was in the highest estimation, and the ancient Romans, indulged themselves with the most magnificent and expensive theatrical representations.
Terence, called Publius Terentius, was a favorite dramatic writer in the year of Rome 559, and 192 years before
the birth of Christ. His comedies are among the earliest dramatic works; tho' Escalus was the manager of a public stag, many hundred years before the time of Terence, but no record remains of the merits of his plays.
The Roman history informs us that when Terence had finished his first play, he brought it to the Edils for a license. He was ordered to read it before Cæcilius, the most approved judge in Rome. The poet's garb, (in which he has been imitated, by many modern authors of great merit) was none of the best, and he was therefore ordered to be seated in an ordinary place and begin, whilst Cæcilius was at supper. The first few lines of his fine verses, caused his judge to start from the table, and to order the poet to approach and sit down by his side.
Terence received 8000 sesterces for one play—a reward, though not exceeding three hundred dollars, yet greater in those days than ever Past had been given. It was acted twice in one day—tho' plays were then made to be performed only two or three times in all.
After the decline of the Roman Empire, Europe was distressed by civil wars, and rude attacks from neighboring nations, until about the time that Shakespeare flourished, whose abilities, "we ne'er shall look upon the like again," began to rescue the English drama from the shackles of tyranny. From this time, its progressive advances in England have carried it far beyond Roman grandeur—and in this, the different nations of Europe have endeavoured to keep pace.
The opposition the Stage met with, in this new world, and the feeble support too often extended towards those who labour for both our amusement and information, can not only be accounted for, but, perhaps, in some measure, justified.
When Harper, the Comedian, first attempted to speak the lines of Shakespeare, before a Boston audience, the fanatics pulled down his stage—declared his company were imps from hell, and pursued them with all the merciless ferocity of superstition. We are, at this time, proud to assert that the American stage, is emulating that of England, and that Mr. Harper, a few months ago, came down from the back ground of his boards in Boston, in the character of COLUMBUS , to an admiring and applauding audience.
In Alexandria, still younger in theatricals, we require a little more attention, at least to the rules of society, if not respect to the law—else why should the Manager be compelled to complain of a forcible entry into the Theatre, and an offer of reward for apprehending the intruders.
We trust that in the observations we may from time to time make, on the performances which may be offered on the Alexandria Stage, that we shall not be compelled to complain of "a lack of industry" in its performers, and though we mean "nothing to extenuate or set down aught in malice," yet, claiming a right coeval with the Stage itself, we mean to "lash the laggard and to curb the boundless."
By the brig Hunter , lately arrived at Baltimore from Gibraltar, we learn that Toulon is blocked up by Nelson.
Buonaparte blocked up in Calais by "his evil genius" Sir Sidney Smith.
That the Emperor of Morocco had six cruizers ready for sea—and it was suspected they were intended to plunder the American commerce.
The Resolution, British frigate, had cut out two French ships from under the batteries of Algeziras.
The French have made a demand of 14 sail of the line from Spain, and, that Lucian Buonaparte was at Madrid to negotiate for the assistance of the Dons .
It was also reported, at the time the Hunter sailed, that the English fleet in the Mediterranean was proceeding to the blockade of Leghorn, Genoa, and Cettè.
A statement, in some measure incorrect, having been made in an Alexandria print of the reported capture of an American vessel by an Algerine frigate, it becomes proper to state the circumstances on which the report is founded.
Mr. Cathcart, our former consul at Tripoli, but residing now at Leghorn, has enclosed to the secretary of state an extract from the Florence Gazette containing an article under the Naples head, dated June 1st, stating that an action had short time before taken place between
an Algerine frigate and an American vessel which had lately sailed from Naples, with Mr. Smith, charge des affaires, on board, who had come from Rome for the purpose of taking a passage home. The American vessel was obliged to yield to superior force.
Since the receipt of this letter, another of subsequent date, viz. June 22, has been received from Mr. Cathcart, advising that he had received no further information respecting the capture. Considering it, however, possible, he immediately wrote circulars to the several American consuls on the Barbary coast requesting their interposition in case the vessel should prove to be captured.
The belief of this information should, in our opinion, be received with some hesitation. It may be no other than a report arising from the capture, about the same time, of a Neapolitan frigate by the Adams . Or if an American vessel has been captured, it may have been by a Tripoline cruiser. The vessels of the Barbary powers are so similar to each other, that frequent mistakes arise in appropriating them to their respective nations.

Extract of a letter from James Simpson, the American Consul at Tangier to the Secretary of State, dated 14th May, 1803.
"On the 13th January last, I advised capt. Campbell of the Adams , that I had observed some breakers in the offing of this bay; where such are only seen in bad weather. A small vessel has lately been sent by the court of Spain to examine the rocks which occasion them; but she did not prove sufficient for ascertaining every point with precision; however their bearings I took off E. N. E. from the American flag staff and distance of rather better than two miles, from cape Malabar, (the eastern point of Tangier Bay) nearly W. N. W. was found pretty correct.—Those rocks have never been laid down in any chart; but as by this late survey it is found, there cannot be more than four fathom on the eastern end of them at low water, new and full moon they are certainly so dangerous as will induce the Spaniards to investigate farther and with the emperor's permission. In the mean time I have thought it proper to lay these circumstances before you."
In the month of April last, the republican Schooner Telég a h brought in to Jacmel the ship Union , sloop Dolphin , and Schooner Mary , all of Nantucket, who were found whaling in some bay on the south side of Hispaniola. At the time of their capture, the nearest to the shore of the three vessels, was distant three and a half leagues; the other two, from one to two leagues without her. However, the conscious captain of the Telegraph (to bring them within reach of the law which general Leciere had made, and which only effected vessels found within two leagues of the shore,) solemnly deposed, that they were all within half a league of the land, and further, that the Schooner Mary was at anchor, which happened to be the outmost vessel, and at least 5 leagues distant from shore. They were accordingly libelled; the crews driven ashore in the boats, and detained as prisoners, not being able to stir without the ramparts, although they were at the same time stationed at particular guns, and held to defend the place in case of an attack from the brigands, who were within half cannon shot.
The plea for their detention was, that they might possibly have been supplying the insurgents, although the articles they had on board proved, beyond all possibility of doubt, that they were solely following their usual occupation; as, after the strictest search on board, nothing was found but oil, the produce of their fishery, and the necessary implements for carrying it on. Notwithstanding the irrefragable proofs of their innocence, the impartial court at Port au Prince pronounced their condemnation; which, however, was so tardy, that before the determination of this case, which took up more than two months, out of thirty eight men, the number of souls in the three vessels, not one half was left alive from the confinement, bad provisions, and other ill treatment they met with in this detestable country. Captain Clisby died in the month of June—what became of the other two captains, Smith and Fulger, is not known. Such proceedings require no comment—they set the conduct of the French, in that quarter, in its true light. [ Telegraphe. ]

Robert and John Gray  HAVE JUST RECEIVED A SUPPLY OF  Family & Patent Medicines, -CONSISTING OF- Chambaud's Antasthmatic Lozenges; Ague and Fever Drops; Antiphlogistic Pills; Anodyne 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.
MATRIMONY.
IT is much to be regretted but indisputably certain, that many portions of both sexes are deterred from entering into the married state, by Secret Infirmities, which delicacy forbids them to disclose; and there are not a few who being already married, are rendered miserable for want of those tender pledges of mutual love, without which happiness in this state is at least very precarious. It has been ascertained beyond a doubt that those circumstances are occasioned by general or partial relaxation or weakness in either sex, and it is equally certain that the genuine AROMATIC LOZENGES OF STELL are the best, if not the only remedy ever discovered for this species of debility. When taken into the stomach, they immediately dissolve and diffuse themselves like a vapor through every pore, producing effects at once delightful, salutary and permanent. When the spark of life begins to grow dim, the circulation languid, and the faculties paralysed, these Lozenges are found to give tone to the nerves, exanimate the animal spirits, invigorate the body, and re-animate the whole man. When aversion to exercise, listlessness or depravity of appetite, and pallid countenance, indicate approaching consumption, the delicate female will be preserved and restored to health and society by the benign influence of this medicine. When the delusions of imagination, or the force of bad example, have tempted unguarded youth into the dangerous labyrinth of secret sensuality, debilitated his body, and impaired his understanding, these Lozenges will protect him from lingering disease, the infirmities of premature old age, and a wretched dissolution amidst the agonizing reflections of conscious guilt. When the sons and daughters of dissipation have brought on themselves debility, relaxation, imbecility, and a long train of nervous affections, manifested by impaired memory, anxiety, agitation, tremors, languor, paleness, emaciation, indigestion, apathy in men; hysterics, spasms, loss of appetite, irregularity, weakness, abortion, pains in the back, &c. &c. in women; these Lozenges will restore health and vigor to the debilitated frame, and cheerfulness and animation to the mind.
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 signature of Messrs. Thos. Stokes and Co. are affixed to each packet, without which mark of authenticity, they are not genuine.
Dr. Atkinson's genuine Essence of Mustard.
Rheumatism in every stage, instantly submits to its penetrating powers, which has succeeded in curing the most desperate cases of rheumatism, gout, lumbago, sciatica, numbness, palsy and complaints of the stomach, after various medicines have proved ineffectual. It is prepared in pills, and also in a fluid state. The pills are particularly serviceable in flatulences and indigestion, and by their salutary operation, promote perspiration, and gradually undermine the most obstinate rheumatism; and, at the same time, invigorate the debilitated constitution. The fluid essence is a remarkable active embrocation, necessarily used with the pills, and as generally excites a tingling sensation; it removes the causes of pain, by bringing on a circulation in the parts affected; by this means, frozen limbs, the feverish sprains and bruises, old strains and relaxations, are generally cured by a few applications. The genuine is distinguished from counterfeits, by the signature of Thomas Stokes and Co. being affixed to each bottle; without which mark of authenticity, none are genuine.
The genuine Scotch Itch Ointment.
The only medicine that cures this disagreeable disease by one application, to many thousands having experienced its efficacy; it is unnecessary to add any more arguments in its favor, but to caution 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 the cataracts, dimness, itching, &c. &c.; it never fails to cure those maladies which frequently succeed the measles, small-pox, and fever; and is an unparalleled strengthener of a weak sight.
Dr. Hunter's genuine Antiphlogistic Pills.
These are a certain preventive of the propagation to inflammatory and malignant fevers, which prevail 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.
CHAMBAUD'S
Antasthmatic Lozenges.
A sure cure for coughs, colds, asthma and consumptions, difficulty of breathing, &c. &c.
Mr. CHAMBAUD, the sole proprietor of this medicine, has the satisfaction to announce that they have been the means of relaxing 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 it at convulsive symptom termed the tickling in the throat, it shortens its duration by promoting sleep and strengthening the constitution. Pulmonary complaints, affecting the breast and lungs; those affected with them experience an almost immediate relief. Asthma and confined consumptives 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. BARDWELL'S  Anodyne Essence, for all kinds  of Head Aches.
THE renowned virtues of the Anodyne essence, is now so generally known, that it is no presumption in the Proprietor, to say, that Head Aches, arising from whatever cause, or however violent, instantly submit to its penetrating powers. This invaluable Anodyne, has frequently succeeded after the best advice, and every other remedy had failed; by its salutary operation, it insensibly 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, scrofulous eruptions, leprosy, and other disorders originating from a corruptive state of the blood. The remarkable cure of Mr. Ellison, of Albany, who had been twelve years tormented with a most distressing scrofulous complaint, as also that of Thomas Johnson, a labouring man, in the service of Mr. Van Rensselaer, who was afflicted 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 supercede 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 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. These families who have followed Dr. Atkinson's advice, and used them in the Spring and Fall among their children, as their common phylic, 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 these 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 raising 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 thick worms nearly half a yard in length; and the third dose, a large quantity of a slimy, offensive matter. The vomiting and purging, with which she was frequently troubled have ceased—her appetite has become regular, and has over since enjoyed a perfect state of health, for which we are entirely indebted to this excellent medicine.
Dr. BARDWELL'S  Re-animating Solar Tincture, or Pabulum  of Life,
Of the cure of Consumption and Asthma, Disorders in the Stomach and Bowels, Convulsions, Cholick and Dysentery. 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 abovementioned, derive their origin from the same cause, indirect debility, or consequent weakness, the analogy of their source, by a natural inference suggested the idea of their removal by the same means; the result was the discovery of the Re-animating Solar Tincture, which after having been employed in thousands of instances, with the most unexampled and astonishing success, has obtained the wormest approbation of characters of the first respectability, both in and out of the profession; the proprietors can confidently recommend, as one of the most certain, efficacious, and pleasant remedies ever discovered by man or offered to the world.
Price 1 dollar, and 1 dollar 50 cents per bottle. The large bottle contains nearly two of the small. Copious Directions for their use are sealed up with each bottle.
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 a trial. Few are the cases in which it has not been of great service, and very often perfected a complete cure.
Copious directions for the use of the Specific Drops for Deafness are sealed up with each bottle. Price one dollar.
Dr. Stoughton's Cordial Bitters, faithfully prepared at the original warehouse, London.
This incomparable medicine has stood the test of universal approbation in Europe for near an hundred years, in the cure and prevention of,
Loss of appetite, bad digestion, windy cholic, surfeits, hysseric vapours, faintness and trembling, ague and fever, depressed spirits, foul breath, worms in children, scurvy, obstructions or stoppages, bilious fevers, sick fish, &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 hath 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 opart 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.
