No. II.
(Concluded.)
If a person declared by the constitution to be in office during good behaviour, can be removed by the legislature, then either the constitution does not bind the legislature, or good behaviour and legislative will are synonymous terms.
The first part of the proposition has long since been decided, and the last can be by the common sense of mankind, but in one manner. I appeal to every man learned and unlearned, and do not fear finding one who will assert that the two phrases make on his mind the same impression; that he understands by an office held during good behaviour, an office held during the will of the legislature.
A mode of eluding the intent of the constitution has by some been suggested. These ingenious gentlemen have discovered that though the man cannot be removed from his office, yet the office can be removed from the man. As if an office could be holden during good behaviour, and could yet be separated from the holder by other means than his misbehaviour. This rare piece of cunning, unworthy the integrity of the American character, will not serve the purpose of those who resort to it. The plain stubborn words of the constitution admit of no such evasion. The man does not hold an office if the office be struck from his hands. When a superior, having a right to command, ordains that an office shall be held for a certain time or until a certain event, the inferior, who by any means forces that office out of his hands before the period arrives, or the event happens, which is to terminate its duration, plainly disobeys the order of his superior; so when a constitution ordains that a judge shall hold an office during good behaviour, the legislature which would deprive him of that office without misbehaviour, equally disobeys the plain mandate of the constitution, whether the illicit attempt be made by removing the man or annihilating the office.
Those who maintain the existence of this power in the legislature, are reduced to the necessity of contending substantially that where the constitution forbids a particular object, that object may be effected circuitously, though not directly: that a measure may be adopted which by a necessary consequence produces the forbidden effect, although the effect cannot be immediately produced. This unworthy artifice can impose on no man. All those who read the constitution must perceive that it is the end itself, and not the mean effecting the end to which that instrument attends; and consequently all means which defeat the end proposed, are alike unlawful.
It cannot escape the most cursory observer, that the views of the constitution must be as entirely despatched, and the independence of the judges as entirely destroyed, in allowing the legislature to deprive them of office by destroying it, as by removing them from it. In the one mode or the other, the judge becomes entirely dependent on the legislature, who may at will, terminate his official character. Indeed it would be a work of more difficulty to feign accusations against an upright judge, in order to justify his removal, than to discover that the public good requires some modification of the courts, which would silently displace one set of men to make room for another.
But if gentlemen could solace themselves under this apparent violation of the constitution by the miserable attempt at evasion which has been noticed, even this consolation is unattainable. The office cannot be put down. It is that of a judge, not of this or that circuit, but of the United States. By the express words of the act of congress, the judges who perform the circuit duty, are judges of the United States. The office to be abolished is that of a judge of the U. States.
Have we already made such progress in a system of reasoning which is to destroy the constitution of our country, as to come to a conclusion that the office of a judge of the United States may be abolished by a legislative act?
In a succeeding number the public attention will be solicited to some opinions which deserve to be respectfully considered, because they were formed at a time or on an occasion when talents and patriotism were not obscured by the spirit of party.

PEACE WITH THE TURKS.
PARIS, Oct. 18.
At noon this day a salute of 60 guns announced the Signature of Preliminaries of Peace between the French Republic and the Ottoman Porte.
Preliminary Articles of Peace between the French Republic and the Ottoman Porte.
The First Consul of the French Republic, in the name of the French people, and the Sublime Ottoman Porte, wishing to put an end to the war which divides the two States, and to restore the ancient connections which united them, have nominated for that purpose their ministers plenipotentiary, as follows:—
The first consul of the French republic, in the name of the French people, has appointed citizen Charles Maurice Talleyrand, minister of foreign affairs: and the Sublime Porte its Former Ambassador, Bach-Mukarraf, and the Ambassador Efsend-Aly-Effendi, who, after exchanging their full powers, agreed to the following articles:—
Art. 1. There shall be peace and friendship between the French republic and the Sublime Ottoman Porte; in consequence of which hostilities shall cease between the two powers from the date of the ratifications of the present preliminary articles, immediately after which exchange the whole province of Egypt shall be evacuated by the French army, and restored to the Sublime Ottoman Porte, whose territory and possessions in them shall be maintained in their integrity, in the same manner that they stood before the present war.
It is understood that, after the evacuation, the concessions which may be made in Egypt to other Powers shall be common to the French.
2. The French republic recognizes the constitution of the republic of the Seven Islands and the Ex-Venetian Territory, situated on the Continent. It guarantees the maintenance of their Constitution.—The Sublime Ottoman Porte, in that respect, is to guarantee the French Republic, as well as that of Russia.
3. Definitive arrangements shall be made between the French republic and the Sublime Ottoman Porte, respecting the goods or property of the respective subjects confiscated or sequestered in the course of the war. The political and commercial agents, and the prisoners of war of all ranks, shall be set at liberty immediately after the signing of these Preliminary Articles.
4. The treaties which existed between France and the Sublime Ottoman Porte are renewed in their full extent; in consequence of which the French republic shall fully enjoy in the States of his Highness the same rights of trade and navigation which it possessed heretofore, and those which the most favoured nations may hereafter possess.
The ratifications shall be exchanged at Paris in the space of 24 days.
LONDON, October 22.
Bonaparte has at last given Peace to Europe! France is now at peace with all the world. Four treaties have been concluded by the Chief Consul within three weeks, viz. with Portugal, Britain, Russia and Turkey. A copy of the latter, which was signed at Paris on Friday, we received last night in the French journals to the 19th. The news was announced at the Theatres on the 16th, and the next day by the firing of cannon, and other demonstrations of joy. This treaty recalls to mind facts not very honorable to Buonaparte. When peace is made, we naturally ask what gave rise to the war? And here we find, it was the blackest perfidy, the grossest violation of the rights of nations, by this very Chief Consul, that has occurred since the commencement of the French revolution! After this conduct Buonaparte had the modesty to stipulate with the Turks for the renewal of all their ancient treaties of friendship and commerce. After Egypt has been reconquered by British arms, he has the generosity to cede it back to the Turks; and to require that France shall have the same indulgences in Egypt, and generally in commerce with the Turks, as the most favoured nations! Hence England is to be rewarded no better by the Ottoman Porte for all the blood
and treasure she has expended in saving that tottering Empire, than France for attempting, by the foulest treachery to overthrow it. But we all know that the stipulations of treaties are one thing, and their fulfilment another. It is impossible, after the invasion of Egypt, and threatened invasion of Greece by France, that the Turks should not view that republic as an enemy, even more dangerous than Russia, and look to Britain and Austria, for protection against her. Under these circumstances, it will be the fault of our government if the friendship of the Turks be not cultivated, and the highest advantage derived from the commerce of the Levant and the Archipelago.
The Moniteur announced that France is reducing her marine. The crews of the ships of war are to be reduced to the peace establishment, and "the advanced guard of the light flotilla, destined to form a diversion in the invasion of England from Boulogne and Dunkirk is disarming.—This is very kind in France, and will no doubt inspire the British government with the greatest confidence; but we shall feel just as much additional security at the disarming of the French navy as we did alarm at its preparations and menaces.
True Briton.
The course exchange of Paris on London is now regularly inserted in the Moniteur; but the exchange of London on Paris has not yet appeared in Lloyd's List.
October 23.
Wednesday, several of our swiftest sailing vessels were dispatched from Portsmouth for the East and West Indies, the Mediterranean, Newfoundland, and the coast of Guinea, with official intelligence to the respective governors and commanders in chief in those parts, of the signing the preliminaries of peace. This measure which appears to have been postponed for the purpose of enabling government to form a certain opinion with respect to the final restoration of tranquility, may be considered as a satisfactory proof that ministers entertain no apprehensions of any obstacles arising to prevent the conclusion of the definitive treaty.
Yesterday notice was sent by the chancellor of the exchequer to Lloyd's coffee-house, that the convoy duty, owing to the preliminaries of peace, had ceased, and was no longer to be paid.
Lord Hawkesbury and M. Otto are busily employed in obviating every impediment which might retard the signing of the Definitive Treaty by the plenipotentiaries.
Letters of the most respectable authority, received by the last mail from Lisbon, state a contagious fever, attended with the same symptoms as that which proved so destructive at Cadiz about two years ago, had broken out at Medina Sidonia, about 20 miles S. E. of that city, and carried off from 15 to 20 of the inhabitants daily. The Spanish government, however, had taken the most prompt and efficacious means of checking its farther progress, by drawing a cordon of troops round the town of Medina, to prevent all communication with the other parts of the kingdom.
A packet is to sail this day from Southampton to Havre, between which two places the intercourse is already opened.
The manner in which the last event of the war has been conducted and terminated, is such as must leave on the minds of every nation in Europe a sense of value of our alliance, and the danger of our hostility. It is with pleasure we see that the fall of Alexandria has been purchased with so little bloodshed in comparison to the object attained. That it is doubly secured to its original possessors, both by the valour of our troops, and the good faith of our statesmen in negotiation, must be additional matter for congratulation, and it must give great confidence to the nation to see that the safety of our East India possessions can be established by force, if treaties should ever be found insufficient to their protection.
It is reported, by the late arrivals from Calais, that no reduction whatever has taken place in the naval or military department of the French republic.

Left there, October 11, brig Hope, Smith, of Boston; sch'r Sara-toga, Graves; Mary, Rowen; Hope, Swain; Harris, all of Marblehead; sch'r Samuel, Girdler, just over the bar, from do. November 14, lat. 43, long. 57, spoke ship Zenobia, of New-York, from West-Indies, for Hamburg, having been taken by a Spanish privateer, and retaken by an English cruiser. 18th, lat. 43, long. 52, passed the wreck of a ship, with her main and mizen-mast gone, hatchets off decks, partly torn up, counter move; stern painted white, black sides, yellow gunnel wale, and ports between decks; no head; about 200 tons—the wind being fresh, could not board her.
Foreign Clearances—Ships Venus, Wardell, for Bourdeaux; Enterprize, Edes, La Guira; Angenoria, Treadwell, do. briggs Reward, Hooper, Naples; Ann, Rotterdam; sch'rs William and Charles. Soul, for Trinidad; Courier, Appleton, Cayenne; William, Card, for Windfor.
Arrived at the Vineyard, sch'r Deborah, from Guadalupe. Left there, the Sukey, of Boston, to sail in 5 or 6 weeks. Brig Polly, Fernald, of Boston, had arrived at Guadalupe in a wrecker condition, having experienced a most dreadful gale of wind; was dismasted, and lost his deck load. The vessel was condemned and sold. November 15 spoke a ship from the coast of Peru, bound to Nantucket, having Mr. E. Prescott, of this town, as passenger, on board, returning on account of ill health. At the Vineyard, a Newburyport brig from Guadalupe; a schooner from the West-Indies, and one or two more.
The sloop President, Anthony, of New-Bedford, bound to this port, went on Chatham bar on Saturday night last—vessel and cargo probably will be saved.
It is with painful reluctance, we announce the loss of two vessels recently owned by an industrious citizen of this town. The first, is the ship Prudence, Wm. Rogers, master, on her passage from Guyana, (in Cuba) with a full cargo of Molasses, bound for Boston. Just after leaving port, the wind dying away, the vessel by force of strong current and a heavy sea, was driven on a ledge of rocks, and stranded; the cargo was principally saved; the vessel suffered so much damage as to be rendered unfit to proceed the voyage.
This event took place on or about the 6th Oct. The other, is the loss of sch'r Ranger, Allen, master; which sailed from Jamaica, on the 28th Sept. bound for Wilmington, N. C. After experiencing a very tedious and rough passage, on the 4th Nov. lat. 31, N. the vessel having sustained great damage at sea, sprung a leak, which increased upon her, and obliged the capt. and crew for the safety of their lives, to run her ashore on the first land they could make, which proved the St. Simons Straits of Georgia; where after saving a few trifling articles, and the vessel breaking to pieces, the captain and crew took to their boat, and arrived at Savannah, the 16th Nov. Property in these vessels, valued at 20,000 dollars, at the Insurance Offices in this town.
On Monday evening, ship Olive, Jordan, arrived at Portland, from Liverpool; long passage.
NEW-YORK, December 11.

Brig Rising Sun, Havanna; Recovery, Campbell, Greenock.
The brig Dorsey, Burbank, arrived at Port Republican in 11 days from this port. The ship Mars, Sheffield, has arrived at Charleston with the loss of a cable and anchor on the bar. The brig Lovely Lass, Riley, arrived at Port Republican in 25 days.
Last evening, about 8 o'clock, a Pilot came up from the Hook, who informed us that four ships were below; one of which was the Experiment from Jamaica; another supposed to be the Brothers from London; the names of the other two he did
not learn. Also, a brig from Newfoundland, and three sloops or schooners.
Arrived since our last.
Ship Josiah Collins, Cottrell, 56 days from Liverpool. We are favored by the capt. with a list of vessels laying there at the time of his sailing; but most of them have already arrived.
Sch'r Truxton, Herbert, from St. Jago, last from New Providence. Spoke the ship Grand Turk, from Philadelphia, 36 hours out.
Brig Mohawk, Hussey, 20 days from Port Republican. Left there, brig Tar-tar, brig Lovely Lass, brig Dorsey, and sch'r Factor, all of this port.
Sch'r Telemachus, Fisher, 17 days from Antigua. Left there sch'r Sophia and Chloe, Howell, to sail in 10 days. Sailed with brig Ruby, Nicholls, bound from St. Martins to Baltimore.
TRENTON, December 3.
On Wednesday last the following resolution was unanimously adopted by the house of assembly, and concurred in by the council of this state, viz.
"That the members representing this state in the Congress of the United States, be, and they are hereby requested, if Congress should resolve to remove, for the purpose of better accommodation, from the City of Washington, to use their best efforts to procure their removal to the city of Trenton; and they are hereby authorised to proffer, in the name of the state, the State House and other public buildings belonging to the state, for the use of Congress and their officers, for any length of time that the Congress shall wish to occupy them:—And that his Excellency the Governor be requested to transmit a copy of this resolution to the members of Congress, from this state, to be used by them as occasion shall offer."

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 15.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at New-York to his friend in Philadelphia. "Last evening arrived the ship Draper, Lee, from London, in 44 days; left there 23d of October, and has papers of that date. The only news brought by her is the official account from Gen. Hutschison of the surrender of Alexandria."
The convoy duty was to cease outwards and inwards after the signing of the preliminaries of peace but vessels arriving previous must pay. "I have seen a price current of the 23d October. Produce of this country was very dull."
"Cottons very low—Sea Island 25 to 35 3/4. Upland 20d. to 22 1/2 per lb.—Dye woods, say log wood and fustick were advancing."
To ANDREW STERRETT, Lieut. and commander of the U. S. schooner Enterprize, WASHINGTON, Dec. 1, 1801.
Sir, The secretary of the navy, the regular organ for the present communication, being absent from the seat of government, for causes which may detain him for some time, I do myself the pleasure without further delay, of expressing to you on behalf of your country, the high satisfaction inspired by your conduct in the late engagement with the Tripolitan cruiser cap-
tured by you. Too long, for the honor of nations, have these barbarians been suffered to trample on the sacred faith of treaties, on the rights and laws of human nature. You have shown to your countrymen that the enemy cannot meet bravery and skill united. In proving to them that our past condescensions were from a love of peace, not a dread of them, you have deserved well of your country, and have merited the high esteem and consideration of which I have now the pleasure of assuring you.
TH: JEFFERSON.
Baltimore, Dec. 3, 1801.
Sir, I do myself the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your excellency's letter of the first inst.
It has been my greatest ambition to discharge my duty as an officer of the American navy, at all times, with promptness and fidelity; and to have received my country's and your excellency's approbation of the late conquest over a faithless and barbarian enemy, achieved by the valour and good conduct of the officers and crew I had the honor to command, is a reward which I estimate beyond my merits; but of which I shall ever cherish a grateful recollection particularly for the very flattering manner in which your excellency has been pleased to convey it.
I have the honor to be with profound respect your excellency's obliged humble servant, ANDREW STERRETT, Lieutenant and commander of the U. S. schooner Enterprize.

SUPREME COURT FOR THE UNITED STATES.
Thursday, December 10, 1801. —Thomas J. Swann, Esq. of the district of Columbia, and John R. Smith, Esq. of Pennsylvania, admitted as Counsellors of this Court.
Resler vs. Sheehee.
This was a writ of error from the Alexandria County court. The case in the court below was an action instituted by Sheehee v. Resler for a malicious prosecution. The defendant suffered a judgment by default—and afterwards he moved to set aside the office judgment, and offered a plea of justification, which was rejected by the court below as inadmissible under the act of Assembly of Virginia which requires (V. Laws, p. 85) a defendant to plead to issue immediately.—This rejection by the court was the chief error relied upon by the counsel for the plaintiff in error.
The court affirmed the judgment of the court of Alexandria county.
We already begin to feel the effects of the late peace most sensibly—flour has fallen to 8 dollars the barrel—rice in England sells at a guinea the cwt. and here will probably sell at 3 dollars the cwt. By retail it will soon be selling at 3 pence per lb. The freights of our vessels are also much reduced—a short time since our shippers of flax seed got two guineas per tierce freight to Ireland—they cannot now get more than half a guinea.
Freights to England are already reduced to the peace price—many of the American vessels that have lately arrived from Great-Britain have brought out goods at 40s. sterling per ton.
The next reduction we shall witness will be in rents—these have been enormously high; their fall will be a pleasant circumstance to all the community, except to landlords; however, as they have had their day, house-keepers now will have theirs—So revolves the wheel of fortune. (N. Y. Pap)

VALUABLE MEDICINES.
SAMUEL BISHOP, STATIONER and BOOKSELLER, Respectfully informs the public that he has received a fresh supply of the following esteemed Medicines from Lee and Co. Baltimore, who have appointed him their only Vendor in Alexandria.
HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES. FOUR YEARS
Have scarcely elapsed since the introduction of HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LO- ZENGES into general use, yet in this short pe- riod upwards of
One Hundred and Twenty Thousand Persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation have received benefit from this extra- ordinary remedy, in various complaints arising from worms and from obstructions in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine, which is as innocent and mild as it is certain and efficacious in its operation, cannot injure the youngest infant, or the most delicate pregnant lady, should no worms exist in the body; but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the sto- mach and bowels, removing whatever is foul or offensive within, particularly that slimy humor from whence worms and many fatal disorders pro- ceed.
Children generally take this medicine with ea- gerness; having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally will effectually prevent the vomiting and purging of children, a dreadfull disorder which annually de- stroys 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 instruc- tions are given for every part of the necessary treat- ment in such cases.
The celebrity acquired by the Worm Lozenges, particularly in the city of Baltimore, renders the further publication of certificates in their favor, an unnecessary expense.
Description of Worms, and the Symptoms by which they are known.
Worms, which infest the human body, are chief- ly of four kinds, viz. the Teres or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw 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—Starting and grinding of the teeth in sleep—Irregular ap- petite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purgings, with slimy and fetid stools —Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowels of spirits—Slow fevers, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Exces- sive thirst—Sometimes pale and unhealthy com- plexion, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symp- toms, should have immediate recourse to HA- MILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LO- ZENGES, which have been constantly attend- ed with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
Hamilton's GRAND RESTORATIVE,
Is recommended as an invaluable medicine, for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the vari- ous complaints which result from dissipated plea- sures—juvenile indiscretions—residence in cli- mates unfavourable to the constitution—the im- moderate 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 unparalled in the cure of
  Nervous disorders,  Violent cramps in the    Consumptions,  stomach and back,    Lowels of spirits,  Indigestion,    Loss of appetite,  Melancholy,    Impurity of the blood,  Gout in the stomach,    Hysterical affections,  Pains in the limbs,    Inward weakness,  Relaxations,    Seminal weaknesses,  Involuntary emissions,    Folur albus, (or whites)  Obstinate gleet,    Barrenness,  Impotency, &c. &c.  
The principal operations of this remedy is in the stomach, restoring the digestive powers, and sending from that organ new health and vigor into every part of the system; it enriches and pu- rifies the blood without inflaming it; braces, with- out stimulating too violently the nervous system; strengthens the secretory vessels and the general habits; brings back the muscular fibres to their natural and healthy tone; and restores that nutri- tion which had been evacuated have destroyed, and where loss had thrown the whole frame into languor and debility.
The Restorative is absolutely above all recom- mendation in removing those weaknesses and in- firmities with which many females are afflicted, the consequences of difficult and painful labours, or of injudicious treatment therein.
The most obstinate feminal gleet, and the most distressing cases of fluor albus in females, fall par- ticularly under the province of this restorative— speedily yield to its benign operation, and are radically cured, by correcting and purifying the acrimonious humors, restoring a proper degree of tension to the relaxed fibres, and strengthening the weakened organs.
In cases of extremity, where the long preva- lence 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 re- pair, a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
DR. HAMILTON'S ESSENCE AND EX- TRACT OF MUSTARD,
A safe and effectual remedy for rheumatism, gout, palsy, sprains and bruises, white swellings, old strains, and relaxations, numbness and weak- ness of the joints, stiffness of the neck, pains of the side, head ache, swelled faces, frozen limbs, and every similar complaint. It prevents chil- blains, or chopped hands, and the ill effects of get- ting wet or damp in the feet.
The extract is celebrated for removing cold & wintry complaints in the stomach and bowels fly- ing pains, and other spasmodic affections.
The testimony of thousands, and daily experi- ence, sufficiently prove the superiority of the above medicine over all others, in the cure of the mala- dies we have enumerated.
DR. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR, A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obstinate Coughs, Asthma, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and Ap- proaching Consumption.
To parents who may have children afflicted with the HOOPING COUGH.
This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it affords immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable—the Elixir is perfectly agreeable and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.
DR. HAHN'S ANTI-BILIOUS PILLS.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, so as to be used with safety by persons in every sta- tion, and of every age.
They are excellently adapted to carry off super- fluous bile, and prevent its morbid secretions—to restore and amend the appetite—to procure a free perspiration, and thereby prevent colds, which are often attended with fatal consequences—a dose never fails to remove a cold, if taken on its first appearance. They are celebrated for re- moving habitual costiveness—sickness at the sto- mach, and severe head ache—and ought to be taken by all persons on a change of climate.
The SOVEREIGN OINTMENT for the ITCH,
Which is warranted an infallible remedy at one application, and may be used with perfect safety by pregnant women, or on infants a week old, not containing a particle of mercury, or any other dangerous ingredient whatever, and is not accompanied with that tormenting heat which attends the application of other remedies.
THE GENUINE PERSIAN LOTION, So celebrated among the fashionable through- out Europe, is an invaluable cosmetic, perfectly innocent and safe, free from corrosive and repel- lent minerals (the basis of other lotions) and of unparalleled efficacy in preventing and removing blemishes in the face and skin of every kind, par- ticularly freckles, pimples, inflammatory redness, scurf, tetter, ring worms, sun burns, prickly heat, premature wrinkles, &c. rendering the skin delicately soft and clear, improving the complex- ion, and restoring the bloom of youth.

Hundreds have experienced its excellent virtues, when nearly deprived of sight.

VENEREAL DISEASE.

THE PATENT INDIAN VEGETABLE SPECIFIC,
Prepared by Dr. Leroux.
The experience of several thousands who have been cured by this medicine (a great proportion of them after the skill of eminent physicians had proved ineffectual) demonstrate its efficacy in ex- pelling the Venereal Poisons however deeply root- ed in the constitution, and in counteracting those dreadful effects which often result from the im- proper use of mercury.
The mildness of the Vegetable Specific is equal to its surprising efficacy, its operation is so gentle that it is given to venereal patients in a state of pregnancy, with the utmost safety, and performs a cure without disturbing the system, or produc- ing any of those disagreeable effects inseparable from the common remedies.
With the medicine is given a description of the symptoms which obtain in every stage of the dis- ease, with copious directions for their treatment, so as to accomplish a perfect cure in the shortest time, and with the least inconvenience possible.
