LORENZO DOW'S DREAM.
HIS SERMON May also be had at the same place, June 21. d
Relative to the affair between General Hamilton and Colonel Burr—continued from yesterday's Advertiser.
In the New-York Morning Chronicle we find the correspondence between general Hamilton and col. Burr; interspersed with a variety of remarks, which, as they professedly come from the second of colonel Burr, we think it our duty to republish. Our readers will judge whether they furnish an apology, on the part of col. Burr, for a transaction which has excited so much horror in the public mind. The correspondence is introduced in the following manner. (Gaz. U. States.)
STATEMENT.
The gentleman who accompanied col. Burr to the field in the late unfortunate contest, comes forward reluctantly with a statement on the subject, at a moment when any publication of the kind may expose his principal to judicial embarrassment, perhaps to very serious hazard.
In the following narrative, he disclaims the most distant idea of injuring the memory of the deceased, for whom, while living, he entertained sentiments of high respect, and for whose melancholy exit he, as also his principal, feels particular regret. The task devolved on him by the duties of his situation shall be discharged with fidelity, but with every delicacy the circumstances of the case can claim.
On the afternoon of the 17th June last, I received a note from Col. Burr, requesting me to call on him the following morning. Upon my arrival he observed that it had of late been frequently stated to him that general Hamilton had at different times, and upon various occasions used language and expressed opinions highly injurious to his reputation; and that he had for some time felt the necessity of calling on General Hamilton for some explanation of his conduct, but that the statement which had been made to him, did not appear sufficiently authentic to justify the measure—that a newspaper had however been recently put into his hands, in which he perceived a letter signed Ch: D. Cooper, containing something, which he thought demanded immediate investigation. Urged by these circumstances, and justified by the evident opinion of his friends, he had determined to write Gen. Hamilton a note upon the subject, which he requested me to deliver. I assented to his request, and on my return to the city which was at 11 o'clock the same morning, I delivered to General Hamilton the note which I received from Col. Burr for that purpose, and of which the following is a copy.
[Here follows No. 1, already published; upon which the following remarks are made by Mr. Van Ness.]
General Hamilton read the note of Mr. Burr, and the printed letter of Mr. Cooper, to which it refers, and remarked that they required some consideration, and that in the course of the day he would send an answer to my office. At half past ten o'clock General Hamilton called at my house, and said that a variety of engagements would demand his attention during the whole of that day; and the next, but that on Wednesday the 25th inst, he would furnish me with such an answer to Col. Burr's letter as he should deem most suitable and compatible with his feelings.
In the evening of Wednesday the 20th, while I was from home, the following letter addressed to Col. Burr was left at my house under cover to me.
[Here the explanatory letter of General Hamilton, No. 2, and Col. Burr's answer, No. 3, are inserted, to which the following remarks are subjoined.]
General Hamilton perused it and said it was such a letter as he hoped not to have received; that it contained several offensive expressions and seemed to close the door to all further reply—that he had hoped the answer he had returned to Col. Burr's first letter would have given a different direction to the controversy—that he thought Mr. Burr would have perceived that there was a difficulty in his making a more specific reply, and would have desired him to state what had fallen from him, that might have given rise to the inference of Dr. Cooper. He would have done this frankly; & he believed it would not have been found to exceed the limits justifiable among political opponents. If Mr. Burr should be disposed to give a different complexion to the discussion, he was willing to consider the last letter not delivered; but if the communication was not withdrawn he could make no reply, and Mr. Burr must pursue such course as he should deem most proper.
At the request of General Hamilton, I replied that I would detail these ideas to Col. Burr; but added that if in his first letter he had introduced the idea (if it was a correct one) that he could recollect the use of no terms that would justify the construction made by Dr. Cooper, it would in my opinion have opened a door for accommodation—General Hamilton then repeated the same objections to this measure which were stated in substance in his first letter to Col. Burr.
When I was about to leave him, he observed that if I preferred it, he would commit his refusal to writing, I replied that if he had resolved not to answer Col. Burr's letter, that I could report that to him verbally, without giving him the trouble of writing it. He again repeated his determination not to answer—and that Col. Burr must pursue such course as he should deem most proper.
In the afternoon of this day, I reported to Col. Burr at his house out of town, the answer and determination of General Hamilton and promised to call on him again in the evening, to learn his further wishes. I was detained in town however this evening, by some private business, and did not call on Col. Burr, until the following morning, Saturday the 23d inst. I then received from him a letter for General Hamilton which is numbered 4, but as will presently be explained, never was delivered, the substance of it will be found in No. 12. [No. 10 as published in this Gazette.]
[Here follows Mr. Van Ness's note to general Hamilton in the country numbered 4. in this Gazette, and the General's answer; after which the following remarks, and col. Burr's note not before published.]
At nine o'clock, on Monday the 25th inst. I called on general Hamilton, at his house in Cedar-street, to present the letter No. 4. already alluded to, and with instructions for a verbal communication, of which the following notes No. 7, handed me by Mr. Burr, were to be the basis—The substance of which though in terms as much softened as my instructions would permit, was accordingly communicated to gen. Hamilton.
No. VII.
A. B. far from conceiving that rivalry authorises a latitude not otherwise justifiable, always feels greater delicacy in such cases, and would think it mean to speak of a rival but in terms of respect; to do justice to his merits; to be silent of his foibles. Such has invariably been his conduct towards Jay, Adams, and Hamilton; the only three who can be supposed to have stood in that relation to him.
That he has too much reason to believe that in regard to Mr. Hamilton, there has been no reciprocity; for several years his name has been lent to the support of base slanders. He has never had the generosity, the magnanimity, or the candor to contradict or disavow. Burr forbears to particularize as it could only tend to produce new irritations; but having made great sacrifices for the sake of harmony, having exercised forbearance until it approached to humiliation, he has seen no effect produced by such conduct, but a repetition of injury—He is obliged to conclude that there is on the part of Mr. Hamilton, a settled, an implacable malevolence; that he never will cease in his conduct towards Mr. Burr to violate these courtesies of life, & that hence he has no alternative but to announce these things to the world, which consistent with Mr. Burr's ideas of propriety, can be done in no way but that which he has adopted. He is incapable of revenge, still less is he capable of imitating the conduct of Mr. Hamilton, by committing secret depredations on his fame and character; but these things must have an end.
Before I delivered the written communication with which I was charged, General Hamilton said that he had prepared a written reply to Col. Burr's letter of the 21st, which he had left with Mr. ***** [Pendleton] and wished me to receive—I answered that the communication I had to make to him was predicated upon the idea that he would make no reply to Mr. Burr's letter of the 21st inst. and that I had so understood him in our conversation of the 22d—Gen. Hamilton said that he believed before I left him he had proffered a written reply. I observed that when he answered verbally, he had offered to put that refusal in writing, but that if he had now prepared a written reply, I would receive it with pleasure. I accordingly called on Mr. ***** on the same day, Monday, June 25, between one and two o'clock P. M. and stated to him the result of my recent interview with Gen. Hamilton, and the reference he had made to him.
I then received from Mr. *** the letter No. 8, which follows:
[This was the letter of General Hamilton, numbered 5 in our publication, upon which Mr. V. N. remarks as follows.]
The letter was unsealed, but I did not read it in his presence—After some conversation relative to what Gen. Hamilton would say on the subject of the present controversy, during which Mr. *** read from a paper his ideas on the subject, he left me for the purpose of seeing and consulting Mr. Hamilton, taking the paper with him. In about an hour he called at my house, I informed him that I had shown to Col. Burr, the letter he had given me from Gen. Hamilton, that in his opinion it amounted to nothing more than the verbal reply I had already reported, that it left the business precisely where it then was, that Mr. Burr had very explicitly stated the injuries he had received and the reparation he demanded, and that he did not think it proper to be asked now for further explanation. Towards the conclusion of the conversation, I informed him that Col. Burr required a general disavowal of any intention on the part of Gen. Hamilton, in his various conversations to convey expressions derogatory to the honor of Mr. Burr. Mr. ***** replied that he believed General Hamilton would have no objections to make such declaration, and left me for the purpose of consulting him, requesting me to call in the course of the afternoon for an answer. I called on him accordingly about 5 o'clock. He then observed, that Gen. Hamilton declined making such a disavowal as I had stated in our last conversation; that he, Mr. *** , did not then perceive the whole force and extent of it; and presented me with the following paper No. 9, which I transmitted in the evening to Mr. Burr.
[This is Gen. H's proposition numbered 7. The result of this proposition is thus related by Mr. V. N.]
The following day, Tuesday the 26th of June, as early as was convenient, I had an interview with col. Burr who informed me that he considered General Hamilton's proposition as a mere evasion, that evinced a desire to leave the injurious impression which had arisen from the conversations of gen. Hamilton in full force. That when he had undertaken to investigate an injury his honor had sustained, it would be unworthy of him not to make that investigation complete. He gave me further instructions which are substantially contained in the following letter to Mr. *** No. 10.
[Here No. VIII. of former statement.]
In the evening of the same day, I received from him the following answer.
[Here No. IX. of former statement.]
I transmitted this to col. Burr, and after a conference with him, in which I received his further instructions, and that no misunderstanding might arise from verbal communication, I committed to writing the remarks contained in No. 10, which follows.
[Here No. X. of former statement.]
I handed this to Mr. *** at 12 o'clock on Wednesday the 18th inst. After he had perused it agreeable to my instructions, I delivered the message, which it is unnecessary to repeat. The request it contained was acceded to. After which Mr. *** remarked, that the court was then sitting, in which gen. Hamilton had much business to transact, and that he had also some private arrangements to make, which would render some delay unavoidable. I acceded to his wish, and Mr. *** said he would call on me again in the course of the day or the following morning, to confer further relative to time and place.
Thursday, June 28th, 10 o'clock P. M. Mr. *** called on me with a paper, which he said, contained some remarks on the letter I had yesterday answered him. I replied, that if the paper he offered contained a definite and specific proposition for an accommodation, I would with pleasure receive it and submit it to the consideration of my principal, if not I must decline taking it, as Mr. Burr conceived the correspondence completely terminated by the acceptance of the invitation contained in the message I had yesterday delivered. Mr. *** replied, that the paper did not contain any proposition of the kind I alluded to, but remarks on my last letter—I of course declined receiving it. Mr. *** then took leave, and said that he would call again in a day or two, to arrange time and place.
Tuesday, July 3, again saw Mr. ***, and after a few subsequent interviews, the

where the parties were to meet was finally fixed the morning of the 11th inst. The occurrences of that interview will appear from the following statement, No. 3. which has been drawn up and mutually agreed to by the seconds of the parties.
No. XIII. Col. Burr arrived first on the ground as had been previously agreed; when general Hamilton arrived the parties exchanged salutations, and the seconds proceeded to make their arrangements. They measured the distance, ten full paces, and cast lots for the choice of the position, as also to determine by whom the word should be given, both of which fell to the second of General Hamilton. They then proceeded to load the pistols in each others presence, after which the parties took their stations. The gentleman who was to give the word, then explained to the parties the rules which were to govern them in firing, which were as follows: The parties being placed at their stations—the second who gives the word shall ask them whether they are ready; being answered in the affirmative, he shall say “present,” after this the parties shall present and fire when they please. If one fires before the other, the opposite second shall say, one, two, three, fire; and he shall then fire or lose his fire. He then asked if they were prepared, being answered in the affirmative, he gave the word present, as had been agreed on, and both parties took aim, and fired in succession. the intervening time is not expressed, as the seconds do not precisely agree on that point. The fire of col. Burr took effect, and gen. Hamilton almost instantly fell, col. Burr then advanced toward gen. Hamilton, with a manner and gesture that appeared to gen. Hamilton's friend to be expressive of regret, but, without speaking, turned about and withdrew, being urged from the field by his friend, as has been subsequently stated, with a view to prevent his being recognized by the surgeon and bargemen, who were then approaching. No further communication took place between the principals, and the barge that carried col. Burr immediately returned to the city. We conceive it proper to add that the conduct of the parties, in this interview, was perfectly proper as suited the occasion.
BOSTON, July 17. FROM FRANCE. By the ship Weymouth, captain Rich, from Bordeaux, French papers to May 14, have been received. They contain many addresses to Bonaparte, requesting him to accept of the title of Emperor. If there were no other reasons to shew these addresses were unnecessary, sufficient will be seen in the proceedings of the Tribune, where it is avowed, that the establishment of monarchy has been long contemplated, and that the consulship was merely intended as an intermediate step. PARIS, May 17. Yesterday an extraordinary meeting of the Senate was held. All the ministers were present except the minister of foreign relations, who was indisposed. Three orators of the council of state were present. It is presumed that this Senate had for its object, the presentation of the important Senatus Consulta that is looked for, with impatience by all France. We are assured it contains more than 143 articles, divided into four titles. Yesterday a Grand Council of State was held. The Conservative Senate is to meet this day, to hear the report of its committee upon the Senatus Consulta. The trial of Moreau and others is said to be definitively fixed for the 25th of May. General Lassale, commander of the 4th regiment of Veterans, and a member of the Legion of Honor, addressed the following speech to the Veterans under him assembled on the 2d instant, at Maubert Place. Comrades!—The departments—the army in general—being well apprized of the incredible services which the First Consul has rendered to France, as well by recovering and extending its frontiers, as by re-establishing the public worship by the encouragement given to industry, by giving to the world peace, which the perfidy of England alone has interrupted, are desirous, in order to insure our happiness, to recompense his extraordinary virtues by a little more exalted; and to prevent civil
wars, the consequence of elections, by the establishment of a succession in the family of “Dieu donne,” (the gift of God) our Deliverer. Your commanders are anxious to vote an address to him, to request of him this new benefit. I invite you, in the name of the gratitude we owe him, of the admiration he inspires us with, and of the future happiness of the state, to add your signatures to ours, in order to confirm to him, that his former brother-soldiers have a just sense of his merits, and that they nominate him Emperor. It is the desire of Victory. Addresses to the French Government for the establishment of Monarchy have been sent from the cities of Strasburg, Colmar, Nancy, Mayence, Bruges, Montpellier, Versailles, Orleans, Caen, Havre, Dunkirk, and Aix-la-Chapelle, Mezières, Gend, Dijon, Trevers, D’Evreux, Toisons, the department of Jemapes, Morbihan and l’Oise. The people of Lyons have asked for the honor of having Bonaparte crowned in that city. The Legislative body was to meet at Paris July 14, when it was expected the coronation would take place. A man who publicly called himself the Dauphin of France, has been arrested at Marseilles, and sent to the house where persons deranged in mind are kept. NEW-YORK, July 20. Capt.

Jackson arrived there from Massena, and acquainted him that he had seen a letter from Mr. Gibbs of Palermo, which mentioned that the Tunisians had formally declared War against the United States on the 15th March; and that they had sent out a considerable force against the American vessels. The same letter adds, that the Neapolitans had sent a number of ships against the Tunisian privateers. Capt. D. further adds, that an Italian
vessel, which arrived at Marseilles on the 21st of inst, brought intelligence of the fitting out of several Tunisian ships; and that the American consul had quitted that Regency. Captain Richards, from Trinity (Mart.) informs, that the British were making every preparation to attack the Island of Martinique and it was understood, that a number of troops had sailed from Antigua, with an intention of joining the fleet to windward. The attack was daily expected. Produce, low as yet, but expected shortly to rise. The following beautiful lines are taken from the New-York Citizen. THE GRAVE OF HAMILTON. Soft beam thy rays, fair daughter of the skies, With rich profusion gilding o'er this scene Of deep repose and death: each vagrant breeze Lie hush'd within its cell, in seeming fear The solemn calm of nature should be broken— Save when a solitary zephyr's sound Sighing, in mournful cadence, through the trees Seems like a parted spirit's whispering voice Which tells of woe to come— A chilly horror rushes through my frame, As o'er this sad sepulchral scene I tread, With slow and winding step—left on some grave Haste might impel my feet—nor you, ye wif, Smile at the superstitious fond, which deems The act unholy, and a sacrilege To nature's laws—oh, rather join, and pay The re'rence due, to nature's fed remains. This is the spot my wand'ring feet have sought, The last receptacle of him, who once Was great and good—ala! how far beyond The reach of common natures; h's it was To blend each nobler quality which forms The soldier, statesman, and endearing friend! In happy union; his the feeling heart Which to the tender charities of life, Beat in kind unison; th' electric power Of genius was his own in such degree That all stood mute before him; awful lesson To man's fond vanity; that Hamilton Whose wisdom, goodness, valor, were almost Beyond all parallel, has bow'd beneath Death's iron sceptre, and but late entomb'd! That eye, whose lightning spoke the foul with- in, These lips, whose sounds in pleasing letters held Each ear attentive, moulder in the dust. Bright dart the moon beams o'er his lowly grave, And by their silv'ry light, methinks I read A name to him alled, his eldest hope: Heart-piercing sigh! here, side by side arrang'd, Father and Son lie wrapt in long repose! Alike untimely fallen, victims alike To honor—tyrant of the feeling heart. O hapless mother! widow! wite what words Can paint thine anguish? Scarce 'the streaming tears Which deep maternal sorrow taught to flow, Were dry'd from thy pale cheek, when this rude blow Struck at the beam of peace that still remain'd, And tore it from thy breast. May each blest power, Kind guardians of the good, with constant care Support thy g'g' worn heart; and resignation Upon thy bosom shed her healing dew. For him who lies, this faded dust beneath, Vain is our deep regret; a nation's tears; A nation's prayers could not avail to add One moment to his life; yet to ourselves, A soothing melancholy pleasure springs From ev'ry tribute rendered to his worth: How justly all must know—fond memory still Delights to trace the youthful warriors steps From field to field, but chiefly loves to dwell On fou hem plains, where York extends her bounds; Where to the desperate charge, his troops he led, Then on the vanquished foe benignly smil'd. Sure a gels from their bright abode look'd down And blest a vict'ry worthy of a hero. Unmark'd with blood's enurating stain, Valor and mercy for his youthful brow. A laurel crown entw'nd with faintest flowers Perennial interim x'd—it ill shall bloom, Though “cold and motionless” the hand that won it, And to remotest ages give its sweets. But why recount his deeds in war or peace, O'er all Columbia's wide extended shores His name long since was heard who did not know In worth and valor few were found his equals— In genius none—Then be his well earned fame Confided to a grateful people's care.

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.
Gentlemen, I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir. It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever colds, coughs, or similar complaints have rendered medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with foreign 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 favour of this invaluable medicine.
Dr. Hamilton's GRAND RESTORATIVE,
Is recommended as an invaluable medicine, for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures—juvenile indiscretions—residence in climates unfavourable to the constitution—the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the unwholesome or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females, at a certain period of life—bad lying in, &c. &c. And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of
  Nervous disorders,  Violent cramps in the    Consumption,  Stomach and back,    Lowness of spirits,  Indigestion,    Loss of appetite,  Melancholy,    Impurity of the blood,  Gout in the stomach,    Hysterical affections,  Pains in the limbs,    Inward weaknesses,  Relaxations,    Seminal weaknesses,  Involuntary emissions,    Fluor albus, (or whites)  Obstinate gleet,    Barrenness,  Impotency, &c. &c.  
1. Cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impoverishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no nourishment or cordial could repair a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE and EXTRACT of MUSTARD,
A safe and effectual remedy for gout, rheumatism, palsy, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. And has performed more cures in the above complaints than all the other medicines ever before made public.
From Dr. Weatherburn, Wythe county, Virginia.
Gentlemen, I purchased at your shop the preparations you call Hamilton's Essence, or Extract of Mustard, which I believe has periodically removed a chronic rheumatism (of that kind named sciatica, or of the hip joint) under which I had laboured for a long time, and which had baffled every article in the Materia Medica, and every mode of treatment received into practice for the cure of this obstinate disease. If you think this letter useful you are at liberty to make it public.
Yours, &c.
P. WEATHERBURN.
John Hoover, rope-maker, South Second Street, between Mary and Christian Streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily maketh oath as follows, namely, that his wife, Mary Hoover, was so severely afflicted with a violent rheumatism, very dangerously situated, the consequence of a severe cold after lying in, as to be confined to her bed for several weeks, and was at length reduced to that 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.
JOHN HOOVER.
Sworn and subscribed before Ebenezer Forster, Esq. one of the justices of the peace for Philadelphia County.
HAMILTON'S
WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES.
Which have within four years past cured upwards of one hundred and twenty thousand persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from worms, and form obstructions or 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, particular excellence of this remedy is its being suited to every age, and constitution; contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is so mild in its operation that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old should no worms exist in the body: but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. They are particularly efficacious in carrying off all gross humors and corruptness; feverish and bilious complaints, and are the sweetest and mildest purgative that can be used on any occasion.
Description and the symptoms, of Worms which by they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Tapes or large round worms, the Ascarides, or small maw worms, the Oxyurina, or short, flat, white worms, and lastly, the Ascarides or tape worms, 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 feet—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—Purging, with slimy and fetid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed. Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms should have immediate recourse to HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally during the warm season, will effectually prevent the vomiting and purging of children, a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands of the infant part of our cities. It is likewise the mildest and most certain remedy known and has restored to health and strength a great number when in an advanced stage of this fatal complaint. Particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the necessary treatment in such cases.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness; having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
CASES OF CURES—by Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges.
(Selected from thousands) the authenticity of which any person may ascertain, either by letter or personal application.
TAPE WORM.
Mr. SAMUEL FULLER, Inn-keeper, on the Harford road, ten miles from Baltimore, began about 20 months ago to be grievously afflicted with a tape worm, which increased fast in size and strength, so as to excite the most horrid sensations by its writhing motions and intolerable pains, resembling the gnawing and tearing of his bowels, which deprived him of his necessary sleep, and caused such dreadful apprehensions as cannot be conceived but by one in a similar situation—his appetite 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 a bout FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the possession of Lee & Co.)—but a renewal of his pains soon convinced him that this monstrous reptile had recovered its first vigour—Application was made to Lee & Co. for more of their medicine, with their advice—from which resulted the total expulsion of his formidable enemy, in several pieces, which he supposed to be SIX or EIGHT YARDS more. A few months have since elapsed, and Mr. Fuller is now in perfect health. The above facts are well known to a numerous circle of his neighbours, and himself will gratify any who may wish to make further inquiries on the subject. Although Hamilton's worm lozenges produce such powerful effects, when necessary, yet they are perfectly innocent and mild in their operation on the human body, even taken in large doses, as Mr. Fuller will testify—their particular mildness is abundantly evident in innumerable cures of infants.
Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, Yorktown, Pennsylvania.
Letter from the Reverend Mr. JOHN MOTHER, minister of the Moravian church, in Yorktown. York, January 4th, 1802.
Dear Sir, Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recommended to me as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms. I procured a box for the use of my family, to try, whether by means of this medicine, I might be enabled to gain a point, which to accomplish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very restless at night grew leaner from time to time; in short, he seemed to be in a precarious state of health, which would yield to none of the medicines administered, until I gave him two doses of lozenges, agreeably to the directions, which carried off a substance to all appearance a mere mucus but upon close inspection quite repelled 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 of those disagreeable sensations, so often occasioned by purging medicines. Upon the which 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 MOTHER.
