Important Medical Communication
ON THE DISEASE OF SCOLDING.
FROM the days of the Spectator to the present time, periodical writers have indulged in invectives against scolding, from an evident misconception of the true nature, principles, and practice of scolding. Nay our ancestors were more to blame, because they went farther, and considering scolding as a crime, invented a punishment for it. Muchlight has never been thrown upon the subject; but as I have made it my particular study for the last 35 years, that is ever since I entered into the happy state of matrimony, I hope I shall have it in my power to dispel the darkness of ignorant and persecuting times, and contribute something to eradicate those unreasonable prejudices, which many gentlemen of our own days entertain against scolding.
The theory of scolding has been grossly mistaken. That which is a disease has been considered as a fault; whereas in fact scolding is a disease, principally of the lungs; and when the noxious matter has been long pent up, it effects the organs of speech in a very extraordinary manner, and is discharged with a violence which, while it relieves the patients, tends very much to disturb and frighten the beholders, or persons that happen to be within hearing.
Such is my theory of scolding; and if we examine all the appearances which it presents, in different families, we shall find that they all confirm in this doctrine. It is therefore the greatest cruelty, and the greatest ignorance, to consider it as a crime. A person might as well be in goal for a fever or transported for the gout, as punished for scolding, which is to all intents and purposes a disease arising from the causes already mentioned.
Nor is it only a disease of itself, but it is also, when improperly treated the cause of many other disorders. Neglected scoldings has often produced fits, of which a remarkable instance may be found in a treatise written by Doctor Colman, entitled THE JEALOUS WIFE, in the fourth Chapter, or act, as he calls it of that celebrated work. On the other hand where the scolding matter has been long pent up, without any vent, I have little doubt that it may bring on consumptions of the lungs and those dreadful hysterical disorders, which if not speedily fatal, at least embitter the lives of many worthy members of society. All these evils might have been averted if the faculty had considered scolding in the light of a disease, & had treated it accordingly. In pursuance of my theory, I now proceed to the
SYMPTOMS.
The symptoms of scolding are these:—a quick pulse, generally about one hundred beats in a minute; the eyes considerably inflamed, especially in persons who are fat, or reside near Wapping. A flushing in the face very often to a great degree; at other time in the course of the fit, the colour goes and comes in a most surprising manner; and irregular but violent motion of the hands and arms, and stamping with the right foot; the voice exceedingly loud, and as the disorder advances, it becomes hoarse and inarticulate, and the whole frame is agitated. After these symptoms have continued some time, they gradually and in some cases very suddenly go off; a plentiful effusion of water comes from the eyes, and the patient is restored to health—but the disorder leaves a considerable degree of weakness, and a peculiar foolishness of look especially if any strangers have been present during the fit. The memory too is, I conceive, somewhat impaired, the patient appears to retain a very imperfect recollection of what passed, and if put in mind of any circumstances, obstinately denies them. These symptoms it may be supposed will vary considerably, in different patients, but where they appear at one time there can be very little doubt of the disorder.
PREDISPOSING CAUSES.
In all diseases, a knowledge of the predisposing causes will be found to assist us in the cure. In the present case these causes are, irritability of the vascular system, an exaltation of the systems of the passions, and a moderate deficiency of natural temper.
OCCASIONAL CAUSES.
The occasional causes of scolding are many. Among them may be enumerated the throwing down of a china bason, misplacing a hat, or a pair of gloves, or an umbrella; leaving a door open, over doing the meat, under doing the same, spilling the soup, letting the fire go out, mistaking the hour, &c. &c. &c. with many others, which I do not think it necessary to enumerate, because these causes are so very natural, that we cannot prevent them, and because whatever the occasional cause of the disorder may be, the symptoms are the same and the mode of cure the same.
CURE.
Various remedies have been thought of for this distemper, but all, hitherto, of the rough and violent kind, which, therefore, if they remove the symptoms for the present, leave a greater disposition toward the disorder than before. Among these the common people frequently prescribe the application of an oak stick, a horse-whip, or a leather strap, or belt, which, however, are all liable to the objection I have just stated. Others have recommended argumentation—but this, like incantation, will not produce the desired effect, unless the patient be, in some degree, prepared to receive it. Some have advised a perfect silence in all persons who are near the patient; but I must say, that wherever I have seen this tried, it has rather heightened the disorder by bringing on fits. The same thing may be said of obedience, or letting the patient have her own way. This is precisely like giving drink in a dropsical case, or curing a burning fever by throwing in great quantities of brandy.
As the chief intention of this paper was to prove that scolding is a disease, and not a fault, I shall not enlarge much on the mode of cure; because the moment my theory is adopted, every person will be able to treat the disorder secundum artem . I shall mention however, the following prescription, which I never found to fail, if properly administered:
Take—Of Common Sense , thirty grains, Decent Behaviour , one scruple, Due Consideration , ten grains, Mix, and sprinkle the whole with one moment's thought , to be taken as soon as any of the occasional causes appear.
By way of diet, though it is not necessary to restrict the patient to a milk or vegetable diet, yet I have always found it proper to guard them against strong or spirituous liquors, or any thing that tends to heat the blood.
But it is now expedient that I should state a matter of very great importance in the prevention of this disorder, and which I have left till now, that my arguments on the subject may appear distinct, and may be comprehended under one view. It is commonly supposed, and indeed has often been asserted, that this disorder is peculiar to one only of the sexes; and, I trust, I need not add what sex that is. But although it may be true that they are most liable to it, yet it is certain, from the theory laid down respecting the predisposing causes, that the men are equally in danger. Why then do we not find as many males afflicted with scolding as we do females? For this plain reason: scolding, as proved above, is the effect of a certain noxious matter pent up.
Now this matter engenders in men, as well as in women; but the latter have not the frequent opportunities for discharging it, which the men enjoy. Women are, by fashion and certain confined modes of life, restrained from all those public companies, clubs, assemblies, coffee houses, &c. &c. where the men have continual opportunity of discharging the cause of the disorder, without its ever accumulating in so great a quantity as to produce the symptoms I have enumerated. This, and this only, is the cause why the disease appears most often in the female sex. I would propose, therefore, if I were a legislator, or if I had influence enough to set a fashion, that the ladies should, in all respects, imitate the societies of the men; that they should have their clubs, their coffee houses, disputing societies, and even their parliament. In such places, they would be able to take that species of exercise that tends to keep down the disorder, which at present accumulates in confinement, and, when nature attempts a discharge, the explosion is attended with all the violence and irregularities I have before enumerated.
Thus much I have ventured to advance respecting scolding, and I hope that I shall succeed in abating the unreasonable prejudices which have been fostered by an affected superiority in our sex, joined to a portion of ignorance, which, to say the least, renders that superiority a matter of great doubt. I have only to add, that my motives for this have been perfectly

disinterested, and that I shall be very happy to give advice to any person labouring under the disorder. Letters (post paid) may be addressed to

A sagacious writer in an antifederal print to the Northward, has found out a secret which doubtless does great credit to his imagination. It is nothing less than that "the objections raised against the federal administration, being dressed out in the livery of ridicule , or buffoonery and wit , or clad in the habiliments of servility , is a proof of the wisdom and integrity of the present administration." How an objection's being cloathed in ridicule and wit should be a proof of the wisdom and integrity of the thing objected to, is certainly far beyond our capacity to comprehend; and that the force of an objection is lessened by wearing their livery, is a proposition to which we should hardly have acceded if we had it from less respectable authority than that of the sagacious writer to whose paragraph we allude. We are sorry that the wisdom and integrity of our cause cannot derive any of that kind of proof from the anti-federal side, but must stand on their own bottom, unaided by an atom of wit or ridicule in the writings of our adversaries. If indeed personal calumny were wit , and scurrility were ridicule , we should derive from some of the anti-federal writers all the proof of the integrity and wisdom of our cause, which the wit and ridicule of an adversary can be supposed to bestow.
When the writer dresses out our objections in the habiliments of servility , he wrongs himself and his brother anti-federal, and leaves himself and them stark naked, to throw upon our backs a heap of clothes, which indeed do not fit us. It is to power alone servility is offered; and the anti-federal party having now all the power, the anti-federal writers are entitled to all the servility ; much good may it do them. It is, to be sure, a very convenient dress.—Like drab coloured cloth, it cannot be made to look worse than its own natural complexion, and therefore, defies all soil from dirt
ly fingers and palms; a convenient thing for those who never have clean ones, but wisely reject the use of soap and water, for fear of making their hearts jealous of their hands.
We have really that kind of opinion of the wisdom and integrity of the present administration, that if we were masters of wit and ridicule, we should afford them the whole of it, not that we conceive ridicule to be any more necessary to them, than a candle to the light of day. At the same time, we recommended it to the anti-federal writers to recollect that, that according to the received notions of the world, and the authority of Cicero, Horace, and others whether right or wrong, wit, and ridicule too, are held to be serviceable in certain cases; and since they have none themselves to borrow a little from some dead or living friend, to help their arguments out. Their cause indeed wants it.

Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr— Catiline is gone—may Cathegus soon follow.
It has been ascertained in the case of Dr. Stenhouse, that the gout which is generally admitted proceeds from obstruction, is cured by the steam of boiling water.—This gentleman who is upwards of 70 years old, got rid of a violent severe attack of gout in his hand, by holding it 25 minutes over the steam of a tureen full of hot water; and upon another occasion, was per-
fectly relieved from an attack in his foot by suspending it during an hour over a pail full of boiling water. He recommends that the person having the gout in his head or stomach, be immersed as soon as possible in a hogshead of steam; and that in all cases, the application be once or oftener repeated, to guard against a return of the disease.
Dr. Wittman states, in his travels thro' Egypt, &c. that Bonaparte threatened, that if ever he should obtain possession of Jerusalem, he would plant the tree of liberty on the spot where the Cross of Christ was erected, & bury the first French grenadier who should fall in the attack, in the tomb of our Saviour! Could any declaration be more impious?
BENEVOLENCE.
WHEN we examine the various characters and distinctions among men, if any of them claim our pure love, friendship and esteem, it is the man who possesses the genial traits of genuine benevolence; and it is he who is intitled to our first and highest encomiums; for benevolence is a principle of the heart, by and through which we receive the pleasure resulting from true inward happiness, the continuance of which will last until the indiscriminating hand of death summons the soul from its tabernacle of clay, to wing its course through the ethereal skies, to the blessed mansions above, the residence of those whose virtues and perfections have crowned their heads with laurels of immortal glory. Let us never withhold from the memory of those men, the praises which their virtues have obtained, but suffer the apologies of human nature to plead in their behalf—as perfection on this earth, has not nor never will be obtained; the wisest as well as the best of men have erred, humanum est errare . The benign influence of this godlike attribute benevolence , has a powerful tendency, when it operates upon the human mind, to eradicate therefrom the sting of vice and immorality, with which it has been poisoned. To do a good action is a good man's secular study, and to promote the felicity of his fellow creatures his supreme delight. It is not so much his enquiry, who are, as where are the objects of pity and compassion, but to inform him is meritorious, because their wants are immediately ameliorated by the administration of his help and assistance. The benevolent man harbours not a malicious thought, neither doth he take pleasure in exposing the faults of his fellow men; he is contented in concealing them from a slanderous world, and admonishing them in secret. "Happy the man who inherits this virtue; his days are days of pleasantness, and all his paths are peace."
FROM THE REGISTER.
To the People of the United States.
In examining the conduct and characters of those men, who, to answer the purposes of delusion, are at present held up as the political saviours of America, it was not my wish to have disparaged their pretensions by contrast, or to have estimated their claims by any other standard than that of their intrinsic merits; and had those pretensions to your favour been suffered to rest on the simple abstract of their services, I should have disdained to depress them by a comparison, which sinks them into relative insignificance, and must cover their partizans with confusion.
But when the civic worth and military achievements of Washington are studiously postponed to the subordinate agency of minor patriots, it becomes the duty, and it must be the pride, of every real American to vindicate the gratitude of his country, and the immortal memory of its Hero and Political Founder.
Conceding to Mr. Jefferson, and to those with whom the eulogists of his party have thought proper to associate him, whatever merit could be claimed by each or all of them in their political sphere of action during the revolution, or since the acknowledgment of our independence, will it be pretended that the inferior parts assigned to them, bore any affinity to the duties of the Commander in Chief of our Armies, or to the labours connected with the arduous organization of our present political system?
As well might it be asserted that the toils and dangers of the field in a 7 years war, did not exceed in sacrifice the pageantry of a diplomatic mission, or the safe discussions of the deliberative floor; and with little more effrontery might it be urged that the invention of the glasschord, and the improvement on the whirligig chair, were results not less important to mankind than the sovereignty, peace, and prosperity of the American people.
One wretched assumption, the honors originated merely in the vanity of him who seeks, or in the sycophancy of him who would be thought to confer them although they might move our pity they could not provoke our animadversion.
But when it is known that they spring from the most detestable source, and tend to the most malignant conclusion, indignation takes place of indulgence, and we spurn a like the cause and the effect.
There is no man, who is at all conversant with the course of the prevailing political party in the United States, but must believe that the diminution of Gen. Washington's fame has been a primary object in all their proceedings. It was a postulate essential to their views, and they have pursued it with inveterate ardor. While the veneration, with which the esteem and the affections of the people had encircled the memory of this real patriot, remained inviolate, the influence of his opinions might be expected to check the progress of disorganizing principles, and to stem the destructive torrent of innovation. To level this rampart between order and anarchy was among the first cares of the party, and from the miners, to the chief engineer, who directed the sap, they have been unceasingly employed to effect their purpose, but the reputation of Washington is established throughout the world, is engraven on the hearts of his countrymen, and will resist the utmost efforts of its vengeful assailants.
The Independence of the United States is the Monument of his Military Achievements—The Constitution is the Record of his Civic Worth—The unrivalled Prosperity of the Nation attests the Wisdom of his Executive Policy—and the Tears and Regrets of his Fellow-Citizens have embalmed the remembrance of his Private Virtues.
Such, Americans, was the man, whose name dignifies our nation, and gives lustre to the age in which he lived—shall that bright, that venerable name be tarnished and reviled by the polluted pens of hired calumniators—and will you participate in the guilt of the parricide by abetting its authors?
National honor, justice, and gratitude forbid such conclusion—Every ennobled sentiment forbids it.

15,000 tickets at 10 dollars each, 150,000 N. B. Prizes subjected to a deduction of fifteen per cent.
This Lottery has been authorised by the legislature of Virginia, for the laudable purpose of erecting a seminary of learning in or near the metropolis of this state. With this view it is contemplated to raise 20,000 dollars, and 2,500 dollars in addition, for defraying the expenses attendant on drawing the lottery. Citizens of the first respectability have been selected as trustees, and they have pledged themselves to use their utmost exertions to carry it into effect. The scheme has the advantage of giving to each adventurer a chance for some very large prizes, whilst the proportion of prizes to blanks, is so great as to invite the friends of the intended institution to partake in the lottery, with very little risk of their becoming losers. The treasurer of this state is to be appointed to receive the money for the tickets as they are sold, and to pay the amount of the prizes to fortunate adventurers. It is believed that the above considerations will induce a rapid sale of the tickets, and the drawing will commence as soon as a sufficient number shall be sold to authorize it—which it is believed will be on the second Monday in December next.

RAN AWAY from the subscriber's farm, in the county of Alexandria, district of Columbia, a Mulatto man called NATT COOK, about 6 feet high, between 35 and 40 years of age, long hair which he wears tied, a lock of white hair on the front of his head, a little to the left, a cooper by trade; he has several scars on his arms and wrists, a scar on his back occasioned by a scald, and several marks from a whip; he is very fond of drink and gambling; he took with him a variety of clothes and some cooper's tools. He crossed the Potomac at Georgetown a few days since, and will probably make for Baltimore, as he has been very anxious for some time past to go to sea. I will give the above reward for securing said fellow in any jail, so that I get him again, or thirty dollars, with reasonable charges if brought home.

TRAVELS IN GREECE.
PROPOSALS, FOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION, THE TRAVELS OF Anacharsis the Younger, IN GREECE: During the middle of the fourth Century, before the Christian Era, With copious Notes and References. BY THE ABBE BARTHELEMY, Keeper of the Medals in the Cabinet of the King of France, and Member of the Royal Academy of Inscriptions and Belles Lettres. Translated from the French. First American, from the fourth London edition. IN FOUR VOLUMES.
THE work now offered to the American reader exhibits a complete view of the antiquities, manners, customs, religious ceremonies, laws, arts, and literature of ancient Greece, at the period of its greatest splendour. A knowledge of these has hitherto been only attainable by a laborious perusal of writers who have been little solicitous to join entertainment with instruction. The Travels of Anacharsis , on the contrary, are so written, that the reader may frequently be induced to imagine he is perusing a work of mere amusement, invention, and fancy; till his eye glances to the bottom of the page, when he perceives there is scarcely a sentence, and not a single fact or circumstance, but is supported by the authority of some ancient author. The amazing number of these quotations may, perhaps at first sight, seem to have been unnecessary, and to have more the appearance of a parade of erudition, than to be of any real utility; but it is to be remembered that, at the same time that they must be highly acceptable to the man of real learning, by enabling him to refer immediately to the original author, they are extremely useful, nay, we may say, absolutely necessary, even to such readers as can never be supposed to have any intention to consult the authorities quoted; as they clearly shew that such an idea, or such a circumstance, is not merely a decoration, or the offspring of the fancy of the author, but immediately taken from some ancient writer, and therefore perfectly accordant to the general scope and plan of the work.
TERMS.
 I. The first Edition in America of Anacharsis's Travels , will be comprised in four Vols. octavo.  II. It shall be printed on handsome wove paper and a new type casting for the purpose. Each Volume will contain about 400 pages.  III. The price to Subscribers, per Vol. bound and lettered, will be 2 dollars; in boards, 1 dollar and 75 cents, to be paid on the delivery of each Volume. The European Edition sells at 12 dollars per sett.  IV. There shall be a handsome Map of Greece given with the first Volume, to be executed by one of the best Engravers.  V. Those who obtain ten Subscribers and become responsible for the payment of the same, shall receive one copy gratis. The work is now at Press, and shall be finished with all possible dispatch.

MATILDA,
she is about twenty years of age, remarkable low, but stout & well made; she is so extremely white that her being a Mulatto, is scarcely to be distinguished; she has grey eyes, light hair short & curly, and uncommonly large feet, with heels projecting unusually far behind; she speaks slow and very well, she has absconded several times and in each instance assumed a feigned name, it is probable she may again exercise this means to facilitate her escape. She took with her two Muslin gowns, one striped, the other checkered, a Bombazett gown, and a yellow Muslin scoop, with several other clothes, which I do not recollect.
Any person apprehending her, and bringing her to my house, shall receive the above reward, or forty shillings if committed to any jail, and information given me. GEO. H. CHAPMAN, Sen. N. B.

ROBERT & JOHN GRAY
HAVE JUST RECEIVED A large supply of Dr. Stoughton's GENUINE BITTERS,
THE happy effects, and superior efficacy of these bitters, can be testified by hundreds in Alexandria and its neighbourhood, during the prevailing sickness last summer. We believe that every person, who then persevered in regularly taking them, resisted the attacks of the fever. They brace the constitution, create appetite, assist digestion, and relieve the cholic; in short, in all complaints of the stomach and bowels they have been proved to be eminently efficacious. Hence, they resist malignant fevers, and are a preventive to the ague. A course of these bitters, begun now, may prove highly beneficial, as they will gradually prepare the system to undergo the danger of a sickly summer.
There are many counterfeits. Purchasers will please to observe that the genuine Stoughton's Bitters are sealed with the first letter of the Doctor's surname, and full directions pasted on each bottle. Tavern keepers and liquor stores, will find it to their advantage to use them, as from superior strength alone they may be considered to cost no more than the trash so often imposed upon them. They are also sold by Rapine, Conrad and Co. Capitol Hill, City of Washington; Mr. Match, George Town, and Mr. A. Buck, Frederickburg. Also just received, ESSENCE OF SPRUCE. Beer made with this article, is well known to be the most wholesome and least expensive mixed beverage for the summer season. April 25.

He is about 60 years of age, and somewhat greyness has been hurt in one of his knee pans, which causes him to walk lame, and that leg is smaller than the other; he much resembles a Guinea negro and is about 5 feet 8 inches high.
