A REAL DEFENCE
OF
MR. JEFFERSON,
Against the injurious slanders of a late pretended vindication of him, addressed to the Editor of the ENQUIRER:
Mr. Ritchie,
It is insinuated in some of the public newspapers, that Mr. Jefferson held a criminal correspondence with the traitor Arnold in 1781; and that Edward Livingston, appointed attorney to the district of New-York, on Mr. Jefferson's accession to the presidency, was sent to Canada, for the purpose of procuring a copy of that correspondence—that in consequence of his possession and knowledge of that deed of the president during our revolutionary struggles, Mr. Livingston was suffered to go off, and quietly retain in his pocket, a considerable sum, which, in his capacity as attorney aforesaid, he had robbed the United States of. To the latter part of this charge, viz. the villainy of Mr. Livingston on the subject of the robbery of the public treasury, Mr. Duane has made a reply, which is published in your paper, and that most triumphantly too, as part of "the Vindication of Mr. Jefferson." What is most extraordinary in this vindication, and seems to have puzzled the real friends of Mr. Jefferson the most, on this occasion, appears to be, the very singular circumstance of this great and able friend and advocate of his having seized on this mere collateral charge against Mr. Livingston, to defend Mr. Jefferson upon, and to have left entirely untouched the main branch of the accusation against himself. My intention at present therefore is, to furnish some materials in favour of Mr. Jefferson, on this main branch of the subject, of which his lame, if not his false-pretended friends, appear to have been entirely deficient; and then to make some observations on the other part of the subject; viz. the conduct of Mr. Livingston, or rather the conduct of our very honest, economical, and money-saving administration, on that subject.
This subject of the correspondence of Mr. Jefferson with the traitor Arnold, was mentioned to me about 3 years ago by a respectable Virginian, for whom I had a considerable friendship and regard. The story appeared to me to be, in substance, this; "that Mr. Jefferson in the year 1781, while governor of Virginia, wrote to this miserable traitorous wretch Arnold, to know upon what terms he might receive the pardon and protection of his Britannic majesty? That, as an earnest of his then of-far and future loyalty, he sent to him a public record book, of some department or board of state, over which he had complete influence and control. That in this letter, he referred him to a particular page of that book, by which he might learn where all the public records, stores, &c. were to be deposited, and might be fallen in with and taken or destroyed, as might be most advisable for the British cause. That this letter and book were deposited with a governor, or some other high officer, in some part of the Canadian, or extreme northern British settlements. That this governor or officer had then gone to England, but that he had left well attested copies and authentic proofs of this singular transaction in other respectable hands." A copy said to be of this letter was shown me, with a whole sheet, taken in its original shape and composition from the book, the hand writing of which was recognized and well known in Richmond to be that of one of the clerks to that department to which the book belonged.
Yet, notwithstanding all those strong circumstances, I gave my decided and candid advice, against any charge being brought forward against Mr. Jefferson on this ground; first, because I did verily believe Mr. Jefferson, whatever might be his other political or private faults, to be a sincere and devoted, and even an enthusiastic friend to the American revolution; secondly, that with respect to the existence of such a letter, and the British possession of the book; their well known ingenuity in the case of the curious letters charged upon general Washington, ought to secure any other distinguished American against surprise arising out of any slight proof on the first; and their actual possession of many of our public records, by their own acts, is sufficient to acquit them of any suspicion of a voluntary surrender of such important public property as the latter. And thirdly, because I was positively and personally acquainted with a circumstance which occurred at that particular period, which, I confess, did with me, go a long way towards acquitting Mr. Jefferson of
this heavy charge, and which, in common candour, I think, I am bound to mention here.
During Arnold's invasion and stay in Virginia, a certain American officer who commanded a considerable force, at an out post of very great importance, permitted himself to be prevailed on by respectable citizens, to send a flag at two different times, to endeavor to recover slaves that had been taken away. This officer received from Arnold each time, a long and laboured letter on the subject of his defection, which he erroneously blended with the subject of the demand of the Negroes. He stated "the inconsistency and absurdity of our struggling for liberty ourselves, and the hypocrisy and baseness of our pretended zeal in that sacred cause, while we were at the same time holding a set of fellow beings in the most abject and oppressed state of slavery that could be imagined even. That considerations of that sort had made him abandon our service." These letters were transmitted to Mr. Jefferson for his perusal, who returned them in a few days, with a lengthy and able vindication of the conduct of America, on the two subjects of the unfortunate of slavery of apart of the people of this country, and the laudable struggle of the other part, for their national independence; making the baseness complained of in Arnold's letters (instead of a charge against us) very properly, in my opinion, one of the heaviest causes of complaint against the government we were then contending with—Concluding with a recommendation, or request to the officer, to hold no further communication with so base and traitorous a wretch, for whom he expressed the most entire abhorrence that could possibly be felt.
For these reasons, I stated to the person communicating to me the charge against Mr. Jefferson, of his holding a criminal & traitorous correspondence with Arnold, my entire disbelief on that subject; with a recommendation, that such a charge should not be hazarded with the public, until better proof could be produced, than the mere copy of a letter and a sheet from a book, without some very strong and corroborating testimony. I had not then heard of the connection of E. Livingston, or his being suffered to retain the money, of which he had robbed the United States, with this high and bold charge against Mr. Jefferson. If any thing could prove satisfactory on this subject, it would surely be the testimony of some of his friends, who best know his secrets. But, until some such satisfactory evidence be adduced, I shall withhold my belief on so serious an accusation.
But with respect to the delinquency of Mr. Livingston, unconnected with this affair of Mr. Jefferson's supposed correspondence with Arnold; that is quite a distinct affair, on which I will now make a few observations. Duane states, in defence of the president on this subject, "that Mr. Jefferson, being apprised of Mr. Livingston's extravagance or incorrectness in money transactions, or some other suspicion to that amount, required bond and security of him in the amount of one hundred thousand dollars, on appointing him to the office of attorney to the district of New-York; that this sum for which this cautious bond had been taken, was mistaken for the amount of his delinquency." And this defence is exaltingly trumpeted forth in your paper, as completely exculpatory of Mr. Jefferson on this subject.
Let this then be taken as the best defence that can be offered for the president; and how does the matter stand, when viewed with the charges that have been exhibited against him, on that particular transaction? Mr. Harrison, who was turned out of that office, to put Mr. Livingston in, and that for a mere "unessential difference in political opinion, had acted under the appointment of Washington, upwards of thirteen years, with acknowledged integrity and uprightness. Was it right then, was it prudent, was it consistent with Mr. Jefferson's own maxims of public economy, and his constant promises to take such great care of the people's most precious and sacred money, to turn out a man of Mr. Harrison's well known and well-tried integrity, to put in one, of acknowledged, and necessary to be guarded against, suspicious character? If Mr. Jefferson (as is said to be customary had required and taken no bond from E. Livingston, for the faithful and upright discharge of the duties of his office; then some tolerable excuse might be offered for his never having recovered from him, after so long a time, the immense sum plundered from the United States; then might he be excused for not spending a further sum in pursuing his friend Livingston in his retreat to the land of promise—the new and glorious asylum for all such honest and worthy democratic charac-
ters as Livingston and Burr, afforded by the noble and cheap acquisition of Louisiana! But still no excuse is to be found for the dismissal of so honest an officer as Mr. Harrison, to appoint such a one as Mr. Livingston, is acknowledged in the very defence of Mr. Jefferson, to be; nay as the very unusual precaution of taking a bond, which is made Mr. Jefferson's chief merit in the case, pronounces that honest late attorney for the district of New-York to be. And if such bond with good security was taken, where remains the excuse for the United States being kept out of their money so long?
We hear much of the corruption and depravity of other government, in countenancing and upholding delinquent & fraudulent public officers. Witness the celebrated case of Lord Melville. Are those same things any the better for being practised under the pure, the virtuous, and the economical republican administration of Mr. Jefferson? which from its commencement, has been one uniform and continued system of deception, fraud and ruin, practised upon the blind and deluded, by an artful and designing set of place hunters, and state swindlers! A system which, tho' the ruinous consequences produced on our commerce, and the connected effects of that and the deceptions mode of taxation of our agricultural interests, I mean to shew in the most clear and decided manner hereafter, is the sole and whole cause of all our present distress; and will in a very short time produce a more complete revolution in property, in the very republican state of Virginia, than ever was before known in any other country! Where already the credit of almost the very best of our citizens, is depreciated nearly one hundred per cent. in all our common and necessary transactions; while at the same time, we have nothing but the popular din of the glorious and prosperous state of the people under our present virtuous, wise, and very economical republican administration!!!
SOME ACCOUNT OF THE TOMBIGBE SETTLEMENT.
(From the Kentucky Palladium.)
The Editor has just received a letter from the hon. Harry Toulmin, one of the Judges of the Mississippi Territory, dated at Fort St. Stephens, August 18th, from which the following information is extracted:
"The settlement on the Tombigbee, (or Elo-me-ig-bee, i. e. Don Hubert , D. Don , L. called by the Indians, after a box maker, who formerly lived on some of its head waters) extends from the Spanish line about 14 miles below Fort Stoddart, to the Indian boundary line about 14 miles above Fort St. Stephens, the two forts being about 44 miles from each other, but it is no where, I think, more than 6 miles from the river till you get above Fort St. Stephens, where there are some plantations eight or ten miles from the river. There is likewise a pretty good settlement on the waters of the Alabama and Tennaw, in the north eastern end of the country. What the number of the inhabitants may be, I do not know. Some state them to be about 300 families; there must be that number at least.
I was at a wedding a few days ago, seven miles above this place, and there were at least 150 grown persons there. In coming from Fort Stoddart to this place (Fort St. Stephens) you generally pass through poor pine woods; but there is a great deal of good land in the river bottoms, and it is very common for the settlers to have their plantations in the bottoms, but to live on the high grounds, sometimes in sight but often entirely out of sight of their crops. But at this place the face of the country changes; it becomes considerably hilly, and instead of pine alone, you find pine intermixed with white and black oak, and hickory, and in some places no pine, but black oak, ash, walnut, cucumber tree, bay tree, &c. Indeed I have seen some tracts equal in quality, I think, to the lands on Beargrass creek, which on account of the mixture of land they more nearly resemble than they do those about Lexington. Such tracts, however, are neither numerous nor extensive, but there is a plenty of good farming land, well watered and not unreasonably broken. The wheat raised here is generally superior to what is raised in Kentucky; and we have two mills capable of making very good fine flour.
"Below this place, the stone is principally free stone; but above this there is very commonly to be met with a soft crumbling lime stone; and wherever there is a small hill of it, you may be sure of finding a rich black soil, so far round the hill as the washings from it can extend to. They plant corn from the beginning of March to the middle of July. We have new corn meal at this time. They reap their wheat in May, so that they have new flour by the time the flour of the preceding year from Kentucky reaches New Orleans. It is a remarkably fine country for pork and beef. No expense attends the raising of either, as food: whilst pork from the woods falls at 5 and 6 dollars per hundred, and beef at 3 dollars. A neighbor of mine received a few weeks since, 1400 dollars for beef, furnished at an Indian treaty here, which never cost him one dollar. Treaties however, do not take place every year. There were 2700 Indians here, at
that time. We see enough of them every day, but they behave well.
"The usual market is Mobile and Pensylvania; proportion that the settlements here will do, we must look to some more distant market. Cotton however, may be regarded as the staple article, but the Spanish imposition of 12 per centum, is a great drawback on the profits of the planter; here: but we look forward with confidence to the extinction of this claim. The price of corn is from a half a dollar to a dollar per barrel of one and a half bushels; and the price of wheat from one dollar to one and a half per bushel. Cows are nearly the same price as in Kentucky, but it is difficult to buy any, as people do not like to decrease their flocks, though they are frequently immensely large. The price of land may be averaged at two dollars; and there will be some valuable tracts to be sold this winter by the United States. However the quantity of good land for sale is not large, and consequently one wishing to purchase, ought to see the country and make his choice in time. The distance by land from Nashville, is about 500 miles. Very few tracts will sell for more than two dollars, payable in four instalments.
"But when we have the free navigation of the river, I know nothing which should render this land less valuable than good land within 20 miles of Richmond (Virg.) We have petitioned government to purchase a line tract of land from the Choctaws on the other side of the river. We hope likewise to obtain about 40 miles square from the Greeks. We want industrious inhabitants. Our improvements are very bare. Few orchards—no brick or stone houses, and but few framed ones—no sheep, and as to poultry, only the common fowl. For a man that has several working hands, I think no place can offer more advantages. Cheap lands, a fine navigation, and some good soil. The river bottoms are sickly for white people; but the upper country is healthy. My own family have had some short sickness, but not more than some years past."
Latest Foreign Intelligence.
Captain Manning, of the John & Joseph, arrived last evening, from Amsterdam, via Portsmouth, Eng. politely favored the editor with London papers to the 6th, and the Portsmouth and Chichester Advertiser of the 9th September.
The rumor of invasion had subsided, and the troops encamped at Boulogne had marched towards the interior. Russia and Austria continued making great warlike preparations, but nothing decisive has been received as to the measures they mean to adopt. The combined fleets were at Cadiz the 23d August—Adm. Calder, it was expected, would arrive off that port by the 25th or 26th and join Adm. Collingwood, and effect a blockade of the French and Spanish fleets should they not put to sea before that period. The London Jamaica fleet had nearly all arrived in the Downs.
The following are the most interesting articles we could select at the lateness of the hour at which the papers were received—Any other articles they may afford on a further perusal, shall be given on Monday. [Balt. Amer.]
LONDON, September 5.
Letters were yesterday received in town from Cork, which state, that upwards of 100 sail of merchantmen, supposed to be part of the Jamaica fleet, were on that day seen off the coast.
The Amsterdam Courant of a very recent date which was received yesterday morning, is said to contain intelligence of the actual march of a French army into the empire. It is added, that the army of Hanover has been joined by a considerable body of Prussians.

The dispatches by the Cameleon sloop, to which we yesterday alluded, announced that "the combined fleets of the enemy remained in Cadiz on the 23d ult. and the Carthagena squadron in that port on the 15th of the same month."
The Cameleon left Gibraltar on the 23d of August, with dispatches from Admiral Sir Richard Bickerton. A few hours after she sailed she fell in with Ad. Collingwood's squadron, who had been joined by Admiral Knight with four sail of the line, making eight in the whole with his former force—the squadron was then steering for Cadiz. On the next day she fell in with Sir Robert Calder's squadron about twenty five miles North West of Cape St. Vincent, steering direct for Cadiz. Admiral Calder would arrive on the 25th or 26th with eighteen sail of the line. The enemy however had still a day or two, if they meant to try an escape, which appears still probable they would do. They might intend to take the Carthagena squadron with them to Toulon, the whole force of which re-inforcement

It would require to enable them to face the sail of the line that would be in pursuit of them. If however they brought out the Spanish ships from Cadiz, they would with the Carthagena fleet, eight sail, be at least forty sail of the line. If they did not sail immediately they would be effectually blocked up on Sir Calder's arrival. The fleet off Cadiz is at present under the command of Admiral Collingwood, who though a captain of the same year with Sir Robert Calder, is senior to him by a few weeks. His command however is temporary, as Lord Nelson is to take the command of that station, and in the Mediterranean. If the chances against the enemy coming out are considerable as present, they will be quite desperate, when they are apprised that their custody has been assigned over to that great commander.
From Malta dispatches were yesterday received, dated the 23d July stating that the expedition under Sir James Craig, had landed there on the 17th July. The troops have the full enjoyment of good health and spirits, and the voyage has already inured them to the change of climate. It is to be hoped that they will not long remain inactive; but whether to aid the Russians in Corfu, or to make a landing for the protection of Egypt, we shall not pretend to determine.
Government has received intelligence, on which they can rely, that a great part of the troops which were encamped at Boulogne have been marched away, without question towards the Rhine.
This information was obtained by the capture of one of the enemy's gun boats. It is, however, only what we had prepared our readers to expect. We have, for some time, suspected that the assembling so large an army had, for its object, the overthrowing of the continental powers more than any serious intention to invade this country. The following letter on the breaking up of the camp at Boulogne, is from an officer of one of the vessels in the Downs, dated the 4th inst.:
"We this day came in from Boulogne: A change has taken place here. Not a vessel to be seen outside the Pier nor could we see any soldiers upon the heights around. As we were reconnoitering round the bay they fired shot and shells at us in every direction, before we came within range. This plainly shews they wished to keep us from watching their motions. The fact is, I have no doubt, that almost the whole of the army is marched away from Boulogne."
The Turkish Empire seems so much convulsed in every part, that it would be no way surprising, should it not survive the war in which the continent is about to be engaged.
Letters from Corfu state, that the Russian troops there have been increased by a year's recruiting throughout all the Indian Islands, to 36 or 38,000 men, and will be still farther augmented by the inhabitants who join them, many of whom are Volunteers.
FALMOUTH, Sept. 3. Arrived the American brig Friendship, from Lisbon, to load fish for the Mediterranean; also the ship Bristol Packet, from Norfolk, for orders; reports that she spoke the Earl Leicester Packet, now a privateer, going into Norway as she came out. A fleet of large ships about 24 sail, appeared off this evening, steering to the eastward, supposed to be the homeward bound East India fleet. Sailed, the American ship Gosport, Durdan, with tobacco, for Amsterdam.
COWES, September 4. Arrived here this morning, the American ship Cordelia captain John Walliston from Alexandria, laden with tobacco, for London. Sailed the American ship America, Robert Fabor, master, laden with sugar and logwood, for Tonnigen. Lady Delaware transport, lately arrived here with recruits for the army detached, taken possession of at sea, by a party of the recruits, but by the very extraordinary exertions of the officers, were prevented, and the whole of
them secured below until her arrival at this port. A general court martial is to be held on the mutineers this day.
NEW-YORK, October 24. By the ship Louisiana, Capt Thompson, which arrived at this port last evening in 36 days from Bordeaux, the Editor of the Mercantile Advertiser has received French papers to the 12th September. Translations will be given to-morrow. Capt. T. informs that the Emperor of Russia, King of Sweden, and Austria, had declared war against France, and that Bonaparte has taken all his troops from the coast (which was intended for the invasion of England) with him into Italy.
PHILADELPHIA, October 23. A gentleman from Madeira informs us that the British ship of war Raisonable, of 74 guns arrived at that island the latter end of Aug. bearing marks, as they allowed, of the heavy well directed fire of the combined fleets, in her masts, sails and hull, in the action under command of Sir Robert Calder. When some of the officers were asked why they did not engage the French a second time, they said it was Sir Robert's fault, as he was a little bashful, having been rather roughly handled. After being repaired she sailed about the 10th September, as was said, to cruise for the British East-India fleet, which she was to convoy to England.
By the same conveyance, we learn that on the 7th of September, the ship Octavia, captain L. Lingvill, of New-York, who arrived at Madeira from Bordeaux, about twelve o'clock at night, was discovered to be on fire in the lower hold, supposed to be by the inattention of some drunken sailors, one of which was smothered to death, and others considerably burnt, as was both the hands of the captain, in his endeavors to extinguish the fire. As soon as he fire was discovered, the Raisonable sent her boats and engine to her assistance, when finding that to scuttle the Octavia was the only mode to save her, the same was effected, but being loaded with wine, she only sunk to her main deck and thereby extinguished the fire. The next day the Raisonable hauled alongside the Octavia, raised her, stopped the scuttle, and pumped her out, so that it was thought she might soon be refitted to perform her voyage.

VERY IMPORTANT.
NEW-YORK, October 23.
"We hasten to communicate to you the following important intelligence, received this morning from Messrs. Hammond and Holmes, passengers in the Susan and Sarah, Marner, arrived at Newport from Bordeaux, which place they left the 11th September:—
"One hundred and fifty thousand Russians were positively on their march for Italy. All the troops in the south of France were marched to meet them. A body of French troops had taken Venice and Naples. The 'army of England' had left Boulogne in three divisions; one of the divisions passed thro' Lisle on the 3d Sept. for the Frontiers. Austria has not yet openly declared what part she will act in the contest; but she has three hundred thousand men ready for service, and sixty million of forins in her treasury. There was no doubt in France of a combination having been formed between Russia, Austria and Sweden, and the Porte, and that they would all immediately act against France. Prussia has not decided. Bonaparte was at Paris."
The Paris papers state that admiral Villeneuve's fleet, during its cruise, captured 21 sail of British vessels. Those included the small fleet from Antigua, mentioned some time since to have been taken and afterwards burnt. Of the 21, were the Cyane sloop of war, captain Cedagn, of 18 guns, five privateers or armed ships and a lugger. They also recaptured a Spanish galloon from Lima, with a rich cargo.
The New Orleans Gazette of the 14th ult says, "We can state from a source that may be relied on, that an army of 5 thousand men are on its march from Mexico, to strengthen the Spanish frontier on Louisiana. We cannot but think it would be advisable for our government to throw a few thousand troops into this country.— even though we should remain at peace, it would be well to shew a state of preparation for war."
VIEW OF SPAIN.
An article in a Cork paper received in London, communicates the following intelligence. It states, "that at this moment the Spanish monarchy shakes to its foundation. The series of circumstances which immediately roused all those symptoms indicative of the approaching decadence of this ancient monarchy, we cannot now disclose for several reasons; but we can aver that the utmost consternation prevails in the palace of Madrid, as well as in the Cabinet and Councils of the state. The arrogance and tyranny of the Prince of Peace has roused the indignation of the higher orders, as well as some of the most ancient and public institutions, acknowledged by the laws of Spain. He has had the temerity to interfere with the public justice of the country, by prevailing upon the king to suspend the functions of the supreme council of Castile, that he had confirmed an appeal from a provincial tribunal, adverse in its effects to one of his favorites, who was a party in the cause. The council have addressed the king in terms becoming the ancient Spanish character; they have admonished him of the consequences of such an untoward mediation; they have reminded him in bold and manly language, of the dependency of his predecessors upon the laws of Spain, and upon the determination of the Supreme Council of Castile in former times; and they have suggested the temerity of putting a daring favorite above the laws, and intimated the probable consequences in times so especially marked by such vicissitudes in human authority." "The Court is in dismay," says our correspondent—"but sullen and distrustful—their measures are obstinate in some respects and wavering with others.
The prince of peace breathes vengeance, —and the supreme council of Castile avows resistance, and seems to be the popular party. The provinces are in disorder; and the large cities are turbulent. Bonaparte has offered the king a large army to crush the spirit of rebellion, as it is called, and if the impotency of the court accept the offer—Spain will be engulfed in his obvious project of extending the French empire."

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 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.
I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir. It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever colds, coughs, or similar complaints have rendered medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with soreness and with obstructed and difficult breathing.
On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir, as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN.
Mr. Abijah 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    Consumptions,  stomach and back,    Lowness of spirits,  Indigestion,    Loss of appetite,  Meancholy,    Impurity of the blood,  Gout in the stomach,    Hysterical affections,  Pains in the limbs,    Inward weakness,  Relaxations,    Seminal weaknesses,  Involuntary emissions,    Fluoribus (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 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.
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 weakness 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 many of its being suited to every age and constitution & contains quassia 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 the safest 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 Pies or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short flat, white worm, and lastly, the Tania 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—Starting and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purgings, with slimy and fetid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pain 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 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 was reduced rapidly, and with that his strength, so that he was unable to attend to any business—when he heard of some excellent cures performed by Hamilton's worm lozenges, he took a large dose, which brought away about FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the possession of Lee, & Co.) but a renewal of his pains soon convinced him that this monstrous reptile had recovered its first 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 nature is abundantly evident in innumerable cures of patients.
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 more mucus but upon close inspection quite resembled 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-aches, 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.
