Latest Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, August 27.
A considerable number of transports have been taken up by government within these few days, for the purpose, it is supposed, of conveying Russian troops to the Mediterranean, or to any other part of the continent where their appearance could operate as a diversion of the French armies.
The important fact that war with Austria is considered as inevitable, is communicated in a note in the Moneur of the 16th. The English papers had announced the order of the British government to detain American ships, having cargoes on board not shipped from the United States. Upon that order the Moneur observes in a note:—
"The commerce of one people prospered. Remote from Europe, strangers to the present war, that people were exercising the free industry which belongs to an independent state. England is at length tired of forgetting with respect to that people the naval superiority which enables her to oppress all nations and all seas, and the American trade is at length aimed at. Sugar and coffee have just formed a part of prohibited merchandise—it is quite as culpable in the eyes of England to convey sugar and coffee as arms and warlike ammunition. It is not sufficient that by corrupting some faithless ministers, she has imposed upon several powerful Princes a barbarous legislation—that she has dictated by menaces the same laws to weaker Princes, whose ministers she might disdain corrupting—she now places no limits to her violence. Nobody hereafter shall navigate but upon her account, and to sell her articles alone. And this order of things, so humiliating to all states, does not fix the attention of the powers of the world! It is that which England wished when she precipitated Russia into such false steps. So long as the northern powers had any sentiment of their commercial independence, the English were forced to keep within certain bounds; but when the Court of Petersburg, influenced by corrupt ministers, or directed by corrupting intriguers, carried its condescension so far as to give an official character to the most contemptible pamphlets, of the worst English Gazette writers, the Cabinet of London no longer doubted that its eyes were shut for a long time. When England thought too she was sure of Austria, whom she is precipitating into war by inducing her to make in the Tyrol and Italy armaments which cannot but be considered as the commencement of hostilities, she ceased to fear that any state would return to the sentiment of its dignity.—She threw off the mask immediately, and it is by the Americans that she has begun the application of her new pretensions. Oppressed Europe has but one reasonable desire to form, and ought to place its resources in one single hope, the re-establishment of the naval power of France. Before a few months are passed, the outrages done to the commerce of nations, whose pacific dispositions were best known to England, will be quadrupled—That is what Sweden will have prepared by her Diatribes ; & her childish policy—that is what Austria will have gained, who shows herself so little jealous of the honor of her flag. Since the Venetians have displayed the Imperial Eagle, they have experienced more outrage than when they navigated under the fallen sign of the Lion of St Mark. The government of Venice was weak, it had reached the age of decrepitude, yet it still protected its commerce. But England has the fatal and temporary advantage of blinding all nations to their own interests. The more she oppresses the louder the cry against the oppression of France. Happily France does not suffer herself to be imposed upon by those cries—she knows the impotence of them."
Travellers from Tyrol and Austrian Italy, speak with astonishment of the quantity of troops and waggons that block up all the roads. It is difficult for passengers to travel, so covered are the roads with soldiers and artillery.
The prices of corn are every where falling. In the London markets the prices of wheat having declined near twenty shillings per quarter within a fortnight; flour has fallen ten shillings per sack; and barley and oats are proportionably lower.
August 28.
The Moneur gives the following intelligence dated Boulogne Aug. 13:
"Yesterday a brilliant action was fought between a small division of our flotilla and the English cruizers, which had been considerably reinforced."
Admiral Lacross sent out at noon a division of five praams, 30 gun-boats, and a-
bout 40 pinnaces, armed with heavy howitzers. The lieutenant of the Navy, Coquabere, commanding one of the gun boats of the guard, was at the head. Capt. Moras, who commanded the whole squadron, sailed out above two leagues to meet the enemy. On seeing this movement, one English ship of the line, two frigates, and about 30 brigs, ranged themselves in order of battle. The enemy tried several times to break our line, and threatened to run us down with his large ships; but seeing that this did by no means frighten our seamen, he did not perform it. The action was most brisk, and the whole camp and the town have had the pleasure to see the enemy fight retreating, and our little squadron pursuing him several leagues out at sea.
The frigates and ships of the enemy have received a number of shot, and an English brig has lost her main top mast.
For this time the English shall not say that our coast batteries have given us the victory, as the little squadron was two leagues and a half from shore. Our ships have received no damage.
The wind being very low, the sea calm, and the attack made with the greatest activity, the enemy had to fear the getting in to the midst of our line.
The ardour which animates our land and sea forces is calculated to ensure all manner of success. The ships and forts are not strong, unless men of courage make them so.
The Naval officers will certainly give an official account of this action.
The alarm was general on the English coast. At one o'clock several frigates, corvettes, and brigs got under way from Percy, below the Downs; at four, two ships of the line, two frigates, and one brig, sailed from the Downs; and lastly, in the evening, there were 60 vessels of the enemy in sight. It is by such engagements, that the flotilla acquires that confidence in its strength that promptitude in its movements, and exactness in its manoeuvres, which will qualify it to act an important part in the events of our Naval wars.
August 29.
It is stated that sir Robert Calder, with his squadron, arrived off Ferrol on the 20th instant, seven days after the combined squadrons had left that port. We have not been able to ascertain whether he continued to watch that port, or whether he has proceeded in search of the enemy to the southward.
The arrangements between this country and Russia are, we are assured, already formed; and the first payment of the subsidy of the latter is now preparing to be sent to Petersburg. Great quantities of dollars are collecting for this purpose. Several of the cabinet ministers are now at Weymouth, with the king in consequence of the very satisfactory nature of the last advices received from Russia. His majesty, we understand, means shortly to return to town.
August 30.
Some further dispatches were yesterday received at the admiralty from admiral Cornwallis, dated the 25th inst. At that time, the enemy had not made any fresh movements, nor had the gallant admiral received any advices of the combined fleets. We understand, however, that the dispatches state the arrival of admiral sir Robert Calder off Ferrol; and this circumstance gave rise to a report, which was industriously circulated in the course of the afternoon, that the combined fleet had again returned to Ferrol, where they were blockaded by the British squadron. The master of the Trimmer cartel, arrived at Portsmouth from Corunna, states, that when he left that port on the 20th, there was not a single ship of the line there. The day after he sailed, he fell in with the Defiance, one of sir Robert Calder's squadron, about seven leagues from Corunna. The former statement of our squadron having been off Ferrol on the 20th, appears, therefore, to have been correct—The cartel neither saw nor heard any thing of the combined squadrons. It is the opinion of lord Nelson, that they may have got into Rochefort; but no certain information received. Had they steered direct for Brest, they would, in all probability, have fallen in with admiral Calder, and must have reached the port long before the date of admiral Cornwallis's last dispatch. It is therefore not unreasonable to suppose, that they must either have got into Rochefort or Ferrol, or proceeded to the southward, on their way to the Mediterranean.
Two Hamburg mails remain due. The intelligence which they may be expected to bring has, however, been already anticipated; and we repeat that a grand plan of continental co-operation is about to be adopted, the object of which is to restrain
and correct the present system of French perfidy and aggression, inconsistent as it is with the tranquility and safety of Europe. A spirited manifesto upon this subject is expected on the part of the confederate states, to precede the actual commencement of hostilities against the common disturber of mankind.
The affair of the 22d, between admiral Cornwallis, and the Brest fleet, was more serious than the Bulletin published by government, led us to suppose. The gallant admiral himself, in the Ville de Paris , led the van, and had nearly cut off the French rear Admiral. He was nobly supported by sir R. Strachan, in the Cæsar , who requested permission, by signal, to range next to him in the line. The other ships principally engaged were, the Namur , Captain and Montague . The Captain had recently joined the fleet, and distinguished herself very much. Her fire was the most tremendous ever witnessed. She appeared one entire blaze. Part of a shell struck admiral Cornwallis upon the breast, but fortunately it did him no injury. The Cæsar had three men killed and seven wounded. The Ville de Paris and the Namur had several wounded but none killed. They received several shot in their hulls and sails. The French fleet only advanced just outside their batteries when the action commenced; yet, had they not tacked and ran back so soon, a general engagement must have ensued, or several of them must have been taken. The enemy no doubt, suffered severely as our fleet were enabled to rake them. The Montague , captain Otway, followed them close in under their batteries, constantly exchanging shots with them.
By the fall of Ramspore, which we have already announced, the whole of Holkar's possessions, on the left bank of the Chumbul, have fallen into our hands. Colonel Murray commanded on this occasion, and the troops employed were the 2nd battalion of the 2nd regiment, and the 86th. The garrison, after firing a few shots, retired to an adjoining hill, & the place was taken possession of without further resistance, and without any loss on our side.
PLYMOUTH, August 27.
The Phoenix has captured a French frigate of 44 guns, called the Didon , after an action of two hours and fifty minutes. The Didon was totally dismasted, & lost one hundred and twenty five men killed and wounded. The Phoenix had thirteen men killed and twenty one wounded. She must have been one of the look out frigates of the combined fleets. The second lieut. Bantin was killed and a lieut. of marines badly wounded of the Phoenix . They are both hourly expected here.
NAPLES, August 2.
On Friday the 26th of July there was an earthquake in the greatest part of this kingdom, which was so violent, that since that of Calabria there has none been attended with similar devastation. In the city of Naples 300 houses have become uninhabitable, and upwards of 4000 are much damaged; 40 churches have been shaken to their very foundations. The number of persons who have perished by the fall of the buildings is not very great in the capital, but in some inland towns, which are entirely destroyed, the inhabitants have nearly all lost their lives.
The small town of Isernia, in the province of Molise, is nothing but a heap of ruins, and upwards of 1500 persons have perished there. At Campo Basso, and at Bajano, in the same province most of the inhabitants were destroyed. Avelino, Montesarchio, Benevento, and Aversa, have suffered amazingly. At Santa Maria de Capua (the ancient Capua) a whole company of cavalry were buried under the ruins of their barracks. At Caserta the upper stories of the houses tumbled down, and the fine palace is so much damaged, that it is feared it cannot stand.
The letters from Puglia and Calabria state those provinces have only experienced a slight shock. Since the 16th of July Naples presents a very unusual, and indeed a dreadful spectacle. All the inhabitants remain both night and day without their houses, in the plains and roads near the city. They have, during the time, slept in carriages, or on the bare ground. The general distress has risen to the highest pitch; and, it is certain that if the earthquake had been followed by some more shocks, the whole city of Naples would have been destroyed. In the midst of the greatest destruction which has taken place ever since that moment, the highest public order has been preserved, thanks to the vigilance and courage of the Duke Ascoli, Chief Intendant of the general police. The Barzaroni have not committed a single robbery or murder.
NEW-YORK, October 18.
The ship John Morgan arrived at this port last evening in 39 days from Liverpool, and captain Howard has favored the editor of the Mercantile Advertiser with a file of London papers and Lloyd's Lists to the 3d of September, being 4 days later than before received on the continent. Owing to the late hour at which the ship arrived, we have only time to give a few of the leading articles in this morning's paper.

At length we are able to put an end to the suspense which the public has for some time felt with respect to the combined fleets.
Captain Blackwood, of the Euryalus frigate arrived this morning at the admiralty with dispatches. His ship had been sent from Cork to lord Nelson; but missing him, proceeded to admiral Collingwood, off Cadiz. The dispatches state, that the combined fleets, consisting of 27 sail of the line, arrived at Cadiz on the 20th inst. Admiral Collingwood, of course, did not with his four sail of the line venture to oppose them: they chased him for a short time before they entered Cadiz. As soon, however, as they had got in he returned to his station, and re-anchored with his four sail of the line off the harbor. On the 24th the Euryalus set in with sir R. Calder's fleet, within 20 leagues of Cadiz, so that he would in all probability join admiral Collingwood the next day, and the blockade of Cadiz would then be effectually resumed. Admiral Bickerton is at Gibraltar with his six sail of the line, and the Carthagena fleet remain in port. Admiral Bickerton will be able to prevent their junction with the combined fleets should they attempt it.
Bonaparte continued at Boulogne on the 19th; but our Dover correspondent informs us that he has since left it, and that the number of troops and tents is much less than it was. We dare say part of the army has been sent to the Rhine.
A Gottenburgh mail this morning, has brought the following article of importance:
St. Petersburg, August 15.
The greatest warlike preparations are making in all parts of the Russian Empire; a messenger left this city yesterday for England, who it is reported is the bearer of the treaty concluded between Russia, Sweden, and England; it is also said that the Prussian minister will leave this capital today or to-morrow. M. Novozilzoff is not yet arrived.
Just as the combined fleet sailed for Ferrol, eight large American ships under convoy of two armed ships, sailed from New York for Cadiz, laden with salt beef, pork and biscuit; the Colpoys brig fell in with them in the night, captured two, the rest separated, and got between the isle of Dieu, and the main.
We stop the press to announce the arrival of a second express at the Admiralty, with dispatches stating that the combined fleet, after arriving at Cadiz had again put to sea, following a northerly course. As we have more than once had occasion to notice the course steered leaving port, proves nothing respecting the real destination of a fleet: it is in every case necessary to gain an offing, and besides a false course is often followed to deceive an adversary, till darkness enables them to alter it with less chance of detection.
We lately mentioned, that the harvest has proved so abundant in Spain, that foreign corn had fallen three hundred per cent. Accounts from Cadiz of the 3d of August state, that there were upwards of 40,000 barrels of American flour in the harbor, for which no sale could be obtained, although offered at a prime cost.
Lord Keith returned from the Texel, in the Edgar seventy four guns. It is said that there is less appearance than formerly of an intention on the part of the Dutch fleet to go to sea.
A Spanish privateer commanded by an American, named Hooper, has captured a ship of four hundred tons, from Liverpool, for New York and a Dutch brig from New York for the West Indies: as also a Bermudian vessel and some others.
The following is an exact copy of the orders issued by the gallant admiral Cornwallis, at ten o'clock on the evening preceding the movement of the enemy in Brest:
"MEMO."
"The Commander in chief means to attack the enemy to-morrow morning, and will lead the line of battle in the

Ville de Paris. Each ship is to attack or board that ship of the enemy which appears most advantageous for the general interest of their fleet, and of bringing them off.
(Signed) "N. NUGENT." Ville de Paris, Aug. 21, 1805. Admiralty office, Aug. 31. Copy of a letter from the honorable William Cornwallis, Admiral of the White, to William Marsden, esq. dated on board his majesty's ship Ville de Paris, off Ushant, the 24th instant.
I HAVE the honor to send you, to be communicated to the lords Commissioners of the admiralty, a copy of information received by the Dragon, which ship came into me yesterday. I have particular pleasure in sending their lordships that part of the account in which the gallant conduct of captain Baker, of the Phoenix, is conspicuous in taking the Didon French frigate of superior force so much to his honor and that of his officers and men, who must have seconded him in the most spirited manner upon that action. I have the honor to be, &c.
(Signed) W. CORNWALLIS. Monday, August 13, Cape Ortegal. The Prince of Wales packet was taken on the 14th inst. in lat. 43, long. 13, by La Prince de Paix of 24 long nine pounders, and 220 men after a chase of 22 hours; the captain and his steward were sent in the packet for Vigo; the remainder of the crew were put on board two neutral vessels; the master, surgeon, and 12 men arrived at Falmouth yesterday morning.
EDW. GRIFFITHS. Dragon, off Ushant, Aug. 22. FALMOUTH, Aug. 30. Arrived this day, the American ship John and Alice, captain Baker, from Norfolk, 35 days passage with tobacco; spoke the Venus of 36 guns, at which time there was at some distance from her a ship privateer of 20 guns, which she had chased the day before for several hours, but which she could not come up with.
DOVER, September 1. Passed the Amelia, captain Matthews, from Philadelphia, and landed Mr. Haines; they had not seen any thing of the combined fleet, or our homeward bound East Indiamen.
PARIS, August 18. The following article upon the arrest of M. Prony at Venice, is extracted from a paper printed at Milan:—"The arrest of M. Prony, Inspector General of Bridges and Roads, and of his companion M. Costier, the procedures of the Austrian commission in this scandalous affair, of which there is no example in the history of nations not at war with each other; the impetuous tone with which they dismissed the commissary general of commercial relations—that superintendence of the police so severe, and shameful, which is exercised over the subjects of the French emperor and of the kingdom of Italy, who are called to Venice by business or curiosity; the condensation and inactivity of that police when it has any thing to do with Italian conscripts crossing the Adige to escape the levy; the three Austrian camps which are to be formed near Padua; the order to provision all the fortresses and to press forward the conscription in the Venetian states in Istria and Dalmatia; these marches and countermarches of the Austrian troops beyond the Adige, appear to justify, if these facts be correct, the rumour of an approaching war between the Emperor of Austria and France. We should ourselves be tempted to believe it if we could imagine the Emperor of Austria to be so devoid of prudence as once more to compromise the happiness of his people and his crown."
Yet it is very true that the gold of England may mislead some of those who direct the cabinets of the continent; but let campaigns, and the examples of the Emperor and King, ought to convince the Sovereigns of Europe, that it is one of the most sacred of their duties to manage
their affairs themselves, instead of abandoning them to men who, on these extremely important questions, have no other motive than the passion of hatred, and the thirst of gold.
"The Court of Vienna will act as it pleases; peace subsists—if Austria disturb it, if she fire the first cannon, or if by these procedures she obliges the Emperor of the French to fire it the first, do we think that war will end so soon? and would the treaty which would this time be signed at Vienna, be durable or not?"
PHILADELPHIA, October 19. Captain Brown, of the ship Pittsburg, from Tonnigen, whose arrival we mentioned yesterday, left there the 18th July ship Onedia Chief, and General Wayne, from New York; the Phoenix, captain Coming from Salem, Mas; the Rochelle, captain Blacker from Marblehead; Æolus, of Portsmouth N.

INTERESTING.
A letter from an American gentleman, dated Bristol, (Eng.) August 29, 1805, to his correspondent in Boston, says: "Austria has declared war against France!"—"You may be at a loss what course to pursue with— (a certificate vessel) as respects her coming to this country. Yet from the correspondence between me, or rather on my part with the great men in office, you will be able to judge how she stands. I conceive that the seizure was made of her, as well as others at the same time, on the ground that no act had been passed by the congress of the United States, to meet that of Great Britain, continuing the treaty in full force on her part for one year, ending on the first of June, 1806. From private conversation with our charge d'affaires in London, there appears little inclination on the part of the American government for its renewal; and perhaps the seizures were made to induce our minister to represent such necessity."
A letter, received yesterday morning per the Little Cherub, dated Amsterdam, August 21, says "News of a very warlike nature is just received from Paris. A rupture between France and Austria is inevitable." (Phil. pap.)
Extract of a letter from Mr. Barnabas Mulford, jun. supercargo of the brig William, Benjamin Thompson, master, to his owners in New Haven, dated city of St. Domingo, Aug. 20, 1805.
"I sailed from St. Croix July 23, for home. After being at sea 6 days, in lat. 25, 30, long. 68, N. the William was boarded by the French privateer Recourse, captain Jourinan, who ordered captain T. with his papers on board. After captain T. got on board the privateer, a prize master and 3 men armed with pistols and cutlasses, came on board the William, where they began to break open chests, trunks, lockers, &c. in search for papers, and took from me every piece in my possession, and abused me shamefully."
"We were boarded on the 29th at 6 A. M. and detained until 4 P. M. when the second mate and myself were ordered on board the ship Hebe, of Hamburg, commanded by captain Hartcup. prize to the above mentioned privateer, and the William ordered for Samana, in the Island of St. Domingo. merely because I had not a certificate to certify that the sugar on freight was not English property: At which place I arrived on the 13th August, and found the William waiting for me. After continuing there six days, among a rascally set of pirates, captain Thompson, of the William; captain Ray, of the brig Neptune, of Philadelphia; captain Hartcup, of the ship Hebe, and myself, set out for the city of St. Domingo, for trial, where we arrived after travelling 4 days (distance 70 miles) through woods, mountains, and swamps; sleeping on the ground three nights at the risk of our lives; but thank God, we are here safe. Mr. Walton, an American gentleman, who acts as American consul, gives us his opinion that there is not the least doubt but we shall be cleared. Our trial will not come on short of three weeks, as the interpreter has the papers of four vessels to translate previous to ours. The brig William has been regularly cleared from every port she has been at, and not a sixpence worth of English property on board; but the governor being concerned in the privateer, they will condemn her if they possibly can."

DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR,
A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obsolete 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 to 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 coughs, catarrhs, 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 obstinate and difficult breathing.
On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir, as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN.
Mr. Abijah Henry, Bridge-Street, Baltimore, was cured by one bottle of Hamilton's Elixir of a very complicated disorder, occasioned by a severe cold caught several months ago. He breathed with the greatest difficulty, and was often thrown into weakening sweats when he attempted to walk any distance, and his voice would frequently fail in such a degree that he could only attempt to whisper: he has been upwards of six weeks without a return of his complaints and desires to give this public testimony in favor of his 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 unfavorable 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 lyings in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of
 Nervous Disorders, Violent cramps in the stomach and back;  Consumptions, Indigestion,  Lowness of spirits, Melancholy,  Loss of appetite, Gout in the stomach,  Impurity of the blood, Pains in the limbs,  Hysterical affections, Relaxations,  Inward weakness, Involuntary emissions,  Seminal weakness, Obsolete gleet,  Fluoribus (or whites) Impotency, &c. &c.  Barrenness, 
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 complaint 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 labored 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.
W. 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. 17, South Second Street. The first application enabled her to walk across the room, and the use of one bottle restored her to her usual state of health and strength.

HAMILTON'S
WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES,
Which have within four years past cured upwards of one hundred and twenty thousand persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from worms, and from obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels. This medicine bears no analogy whatever of similar title, so commonly complained of as operating with violence on the contrary, a particular excellence of this and nearly all its being suited to every age and constitution & containing nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is
so mild in its operation that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tender infant of a week old should no worms exist in the body, but will, with its pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many sad disorders. They are particularly efficacious in carrying off all gross humors and corruptions; feverish and bilious complaints, and the least and mildest purgative that can be used on the 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 Tapes 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 most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted gums—itching in the nose and about the seat—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—Staring 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 sickens 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 advanced stages 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 twenty 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 his 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 wasted 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 his pains soon convinced him that this monstrous reptile had recovered its first vigor—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 neighbors, 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 mere mucus but upon close inspection quite repletes with very small living animals. Not one of that sort of worms which usually afflict children came from him. Since that period he grew remarkably better in health, and though lean, has got a fresh and lively complexion. Upon different occasions I have used this medicine as a purging substitute, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly-ache, or any other disagreeable sensations, to 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.
