ARMINIAN SKELETON.
Subscriptions are received at the Book Store of COTTON and STEWART, for a BOOK entitled,
THE SKELETONS:
Or, the Arminian Anatomized, and The Carnal Preacher Dissected.
In two Parts.
Part I. The Arminian, or doctrine of Universal Charity pursued, taken, examined, tried, condemned, executed, and anatomized.
Part II. The Carnal Preacher Dissected, with comments on several dark passages of scripture. In a series of letters, written at various times to friends in the country.
Conditions, &c. are left at the above Store.
It is the opinion of several respectable clergymen, that the above book contains the ground work and principles of genuine piety, as it manifestly proves, from the scriptures of truth, that the doctrine of free will and universal redemption is unfounded.

FROM LATE LONDON PAPERS
Received at Boston. LONDON, August 2.
Tuesday his Majesty went in the usual state to the House of Peers and put an end to the present Session of Parliament by the following Most Gracious Speech from the throne:
"My Lords, and Gentlemen." Before I put an end to the present session of Parliament, I am desirous of expressing my entire approbation of the zeal and assiduity with which you have applied yourselves to the great objects of public concern which have come under your consideration.
"You have wisely continued to direct your attention to the encouragement and improvement of that respectable and powerful volunteer force which the ardor and spirit of my subjects has enabled me to establish to an extent hitherto unexampled: You have at the same time endeavoured to combine an additional establishment for our domestic defence, with the means of augmenting our regular army, and of maintaining it on such a scale as may be proportioned to the circumstances of the times, and to the rank which this country ought ever to hold among the powers of Europe."
Gentlemen of the House of Commons. "You are entitled to my warmest acknowledgements for the fresh proof which you have given me of your constant and affectionate attachment to my person and family, and your regard to the honor and dignity of my crown, by the liberal provision which you have made for the payment of the debt on my civil list revenues, and for furnishing me with the additional means of defraying the increase which has unavoidably taken place in different branches of my expenditure."
"I must also return you my warmest thanks for the extensive provision which you have made for the exigencies of the public service; especially for the just and prudent attention which you have shewn to true economy, and to the permanent credit and welfare of the country, by the great exertions you have made for preventing, as far as possible, the accumulation of debt, and for raising so large a proportion of the expences of the war within the year."
"My Lords and Gentlemen," "I have only now to recommend to you to carry into your respective counties the same zeal for the public interest which has guided all your proceedings. It will be your particular duty to inculcate on the minds of all classes of my subjects, that the preservation of all that is most dear to them requires the continuance of their unmerited exertions for the national defence."
"The preparations which the enemy has long been forming for the declared purpose of invading this Kingdom, are daily augmented, and the attempt appears to have been delayed only with the view of procuring the means for carrying it into execution."
"Relying on the skill, valor and discipline of my naval and military force, aided by the voluntary zeal and native courage of my people, I look with confidence to the issue of this great conflict; and I doubt not that it will terminate, under the blessing of providence, not only in repelling the danger of the moment, but in establishing, in the eyes of foreign nations, the security of this country on a basis never to be shaken."
"In addition to this first and great object, I entertain the animating hope that the benefit to be derived from our successful exertions will not be confined within ourselves; but that by their example, and their consequences, they may lead to the re-establishment of a system in Europe as may rescue it from the precarious state to which it is reduced, and may finally raise an effectual barrier against the unbounded schemes of aggrandizement and ambition which threaten every independent nation that yet remains on the continent."
Then the Lord Chancellor, by his majesty's command said:
"My Lords and Gentlemen," "It is his majesty's royal will and pleasure, that this parliament be prorogued to Tuesday the 4th day of September next, to be then here holden; and this parliament is accordingly prorogued to Tuesday the 4th day of September next."
We have this day given some further extracts from the small French papers of the 14th. The "State of England," as represented in the Journal des Defenseurs , would at any other time, only provoke a smile of contempt. At present, as it holds forth an allurements to the mercenaries of
the foe of England...of man, it wears a different and more serious complexion.
State of England.
The following accurate statement has actually been published in one of the Paris papers: Every where upon the continent the harvest promises to be very abundant, and the prices of all the productions of the earth are falling; whilst letters from England speak of the scarcity as well of the rise in the prices of all the necessaries of life. A pound of bread costs in London, nine pence, or eighteen sous, a pound of meat two shillings, and half a crown or forty eight cents, or three livres; and the worst wine sells as high as fifteen shillings, or eighteen livres a bottle. Their streets and high roads are thronged with most numerous, ragged, and starved beggars and robbers of the world; so much so, that the King has not dared to hang a highwayman, or the Magistrates to shut up a beggar, for these last twelve months. A countryman of ours, upon whose veracity we can depend, and who has lately travelled in England and Ireland with a Prussian pass, has given us these particulars, and assures us that in many parts illuminations took place, when it was known Bonaparte was proclaimed an Emperor. In every house in England his portrait is found, and in Ireland the peasants and mechanics have mounted national cockades, in expectation of their delivery. Both in the streets of Dublin and London, ballads are sung in his honor; and the people call for him as for a saviour, and say, that if he landed alone, and it was known, in a week he would have an army of a million of Britons ready to destroy their political, banking, and mercantile aristocrats and bloodsuckers. In Ireland, for one guinea in gold two guineas are paid in paper money; and in England, notwithstanding the severity of Pitt and his police spies, for a one pound note in paper money only half a crown in cash is obtained. Such is the beggarly situation of the Bank of England, that when lately an English frigate captured one of our coasting ships, which had on board 20,000 dollars, a Bank Director went express to Portsmouth, to borrow that money from the captors, at the immense interest of 5 1-2 per cent. in the month. When this financial transaction was known, all the people rose in a mass in Southampton, through which province it was to pass to London; and, to prevent its being plundered by the starving inhabitants, 3000 dragoons were necessary to escort it to the capital, which they effected, though not without cutting down several hundred of their countrymen, who attempted to seize this enormous treasure. If these are not signs of the dissolution of a Government, and of the destruction of an empire, we are very badly acquainted with historical events. We recommend the reading of this article to our brave army on the coast, and to its valorous leaders, whose known humanity and generosity will regard it as a duty to soon bestow on an unfortunate and oppressed nation those blessings which France enjoys under her present illustrious Chief. [ Journal des Defenseurs. ]
PARIS, July 14.
Letters from Cayenne, of the 3th of April, state, that this colony enjoys the greatest tranquility, and no fear is entertained of any attack from the English. A gang of run-away negroes had committed several excesses on the distant plantations, but had been surrounded in a wood by the colonial troops, assisted by those of the line and two of the chiefs were taken. Many of these negroes had continued in the woods ever since the anarchy of 1794. The privateer Uncle Thomas , from Rochelle, which had captured and carried into Cayenne an English ship laden with negroes, had disposed of them there to the greatest advantage. Some of them brought as high prices as 2450 francs, and none less than 2008 francs.
In the latter part of March, four ships with 646 convicts, had arrived there from Europe. Of these 221 were women. They are to be distributed in different districts in the colony; but to prevent those disagreeable scenes which took place during the passage, the distance between the royalist and jacobin fanatics, is to be as great as possible; all these transported persons being of one or other of these two factions, were sent away from France, on account of their incorrigible political fanaticism. The captain of the ship l'Ami de la Patrie , which had 60 women and 133 men on board, complains much of their daily quarrels and battles; & asserts, that it was with the greatest difficulty he could prevent them from tearing each other to pieces.
The women were worse than the men; one of them Louisa Debaut, known at Paris under the appellation of a Fury of the
Gillotine, tore the ears of Guillet, a Chouan Officer who was ill, and bit off the nose of his sister, a young girl not 16. As all these persons are sent there, only as measures of safety, and by the police, and not after any condemnation by the tribunals, the duration of their transportation is unlimited and they will probably continue at Cayenne for life. They are all very poor and in an extremely wretched condition, which with the unhealthiness of the climate, will no doubt make their existence but short. Ninety of them are already in public hospitals and twenty five had died within seven days after their landing.

SAVANNAH, September 11. HURRICANE.
On Saturday last, this city was visited with the most violent hurricane ever experienced since its settlement. It commenced, by slight wind and rain in the morning until about ten o'clock, when it began to blow with uncommon violence, accompanied with heavy rain, and continued to increase until six or seven at night, and did not cease before three in the morning of Sunday.
During its continuance, the shaking of the dwelling houses, the scattering of the slate and tile from such roofs as were covered with those materials, the falling of several chimneys in the city, and the leveling of fences and trees around, created an incessant alarm, which the arrival of morning proved to be too well founded.
A chimney in falling, killed two children of Mr. J. Nelson; a house fell and killed John P. Webb, and slightly bruised his child who was sitting near him.
But it was in the morning that the full horrors of the scene were witnessed. The shores covered with lumber and the ruins of stores destroyed; the wharves with shipping; the hopes of the merchants scattered among the fragments of the buildings or floating in the river, and in many of those stores which withstood the gale, damaged or ruined; the innumerable small boats crashed like egg shells, and thought almost as little worthy notice; reeds and marsh grass torn by the roots from the opposite island, and accompanied by numerous serpents, turtles, marsh birds, &c.

forming a background of the picture; and the negroes who had survived the night on the island, composed wholly of rice plants, screaming for assistance, and for loss of their drowned companions, completed the affecting and sublime collection. The scene itself could not have looked more removed. We have not yet heard from the neighboring plantations, nor can we form any idea of all the damage done. On Wilmington island, Mrs. Scriven, wife of Major Scriven, and one of their children, were killed by the fall of the house. On Hutchinson's island, Mr. Hoxham and wife, who had the care of a plantation, were carried away and drowned. The number of negroes drowned cannot be ascertained. It is supposed not less than thirty. Fort Green, at Cockspur island, is completely leveled, and all the buildings destroyed. Of the soldiers, 7 of those who were there, escaped by getting on the roof of the last house which fell, with fourteen others, men and women, soon after floating, the roof parted and they separately escaped to land on Wilmington island. A son of capt. Nicholls is among the drowned. Four soldiers a non-commissioned officer were fortunately detained in town, as was Lt. Piott.
Gun Boat, No. 1, is safely lodged in a cornfield on Whitemarsh island, about 8 miles from where she drifted, and within 60 feet of a creek. It is hoped she will be got off without difficulty. All her men are safe and she has received no damage. Sloop Governor Tazwell of Charleston is high and dry on Wilmington island, near Mr. Bryan's, it will not be possible to get off the vessel, but her valuable cargo is safe.
Buildings Damaged.
We have not obtained information of all which come under this head, but the following are those which have come to our knowledge. Presbyterian church, the steeple blown down to the foundation. In falling, it broke the roof of a small house belonging to G. B. Duke. Episcopalian church, a building of brick, two-thirds of one broadside of the second story blown down to the window sills. The Exchange, great part of the r. of un-tiled, and many panes of glass broken. A house occupied by Mr. Nelson, one chimney blown down. Mrs. Minis's chimney blown down. Mr. Wane's chimney the top blown off and lodged on the roof of the house. Mr. Clay's new house partially unslated. Gibbon's buildings partially untiled, and the chimney blown down to the roof. Bolton's buildings partially untiled. Several other dwelling houses are considerably injured, and particularly many windows are broken. George Anderson has one store completely thrown down, the other injured. A small store occupied as a retail shop by Mordecai M'Lean, has one end and two sides torn out, and all his property lost. Taylor and Scarborough's store partially untiled. Burroughs and Sturges, the end of their store torn out, their books and papers lost, and the principal part of the articles in the store destroyed. A printing-press and types belonging to James Helvy, of Louisville, were principally lost in this store. Maurice Lehnert's store, the sides and the end next the river, completely broken, and almost every thing in the store destroyed. Benjamin Maurice's store, one end broke and much damage done to the goods. Brooks and Harris's store, in Clay's new buildings, one corner, next the river, broke. Machin and M'Intosh's brick and stone store, gone to the foundation, scarce a vestige remaining. Robert and John Bolton's upper store, a number of slate blown off; lower store, windows of lower story broken in, a few bricks out of one corner, the roof partially unslated. Commerce Row, almost wholly unslated. John Jackson's Store, partially injured. Crook and Seaman's store, much torn & damaged in the two lower stories. H. Reynolds and Co. store much broken, many articles floated away, and others almost ruined. John Davis, two stores broken, nearly all the articles in one destroyed and swept away, in the other, much injured. Hunter and Mins, Stores partially broken and much damage done. H.

Jacob Idler's store, gone with its contents without a single act left. A. Dum's blacksmith's shop, completely broken down, and carried some yards from the foundation. A vacant store much broken. Samuel Howard's store, lower story broken and considerable injury sustained. Dennis and William's store completely swept down, and almost all its contents lost, together with their books and papers. A small part of the latter has been recovered. Hunter and Mins's new store occupied by Thomas Lawrence, the foundation towards the river broken and the store scuttled. Considerable loss was sustained by Mr. Lawrence. James Wallace's store taken down to the foundation, carried several hundred feet from the wharf it stood on, and its contents entirely lost. The three last mentioned stores were built this summer. Besides these stores enumerated, scarce one near the wharves but has suffered injury from the water, which found its way into them. It was supposed that the height of water was from ten to twelve feet above the common level of spring tides, and the waves run very high.
Shipping including all in the harbour.
SHIPS.
Brutus, of Savannah, (late Casualidad) grounded about high water mark, near T. and R. Newell's store. Gustavia, of St. Thomas, at Putnam's wharf, afloat, has almost all her topmasts and foremast carried away. Magdalen, of Glasgow, upset, has her boom much torn and is sunk by the wharf near Johnson and Robertson's. General Jackson, of this port, her keel at high water mark on M'Credie's wharf. Mary of Charleston, loaded with cotton and waiting for a wind, driven on the wharf near the fort.
BRIGS.
Diamond, of New York, grounded at Bolton's upper wharf. Brandywine, of Savannah, grounded at low water mark, at Wayne's wharf. Hiram, of Savannah, on the piles of Williamson and Morel's wharf, has several holes broke in her bottom. Minerva of Savannah, on the coffee-house wharf, above high water mark.
SCHOONERS.
Cornelia of Charleston, upset and sunk near the shore at Gordens wharf. Carolina, of Charleston, grounded at Bolton's upper wharf. Hanna, of St. Thomas's, on the corners of two wharves, above high water mark, her foremast broke down by the deck. York, of St. Simon's, on Craig and Mitchell's wharf, above high water mark. Savannah Packet, of Charleston, on Johnson and Robertson's wharf, bilged. Hiram, of New York, on Boroughs and Sturges wharf above high water mark, but injured. Delight of Charleston, on the piles at Stark's wharf, with one or two of them through her bottom. Revenue Cutter, Thomas Jefferson, on the wharf occupied by Hunter and Min's new store, her main mast gone, her stern broken out, and rudder unsipped. L'Amitie, French national Corvette, high on M'Credie's wharf. A small boat name unknown, on the same wharf, with both masts broke and bilged. A pilot boat belonging to Scranton, 3 feet higher than high water mark, at Belcher's wharf.
SLOOPS.
Themis, of Beaufort, high on Gordon's wharf and dry, near Wayne's wharf. Rachel, of Charleston, upper mast broke, and sunk, at Johnston and Robertson's wharf. Polly, of St. Mary's, escaped with only the loss of rigging. A lighter, belonging to R. and J. Bolton, has her boom broke—afloat at the wharf. Several Augeita and other boats, are likewise on the wharves, not one is left afloat, and scarce a small boat in the harbour but is broken and buried among the lumber. Those vessels noted as on the wharves, are completely above the reach of the tide, and as fairly on the quarantaine as if the were building there. We learn that Mr. William Campbell and Mr. Thos. Williamson, procured a boat, and at near eleven o'clock on Sunday night, and visited the back river, where their exertions were crowned with such success, that they were enabled to collect and bring to Savannah a very large number of negroes belonging to various estates. Such generous conduct ought to be rewarded.
THE STORM.
On Saturday last we experienced a most severe tornado, which for violence and duration exceeded any within remembrance of the oldest inhabitants of this place. It commenced between three and four A. M. with the wind at N. E. and blew from thence with increasing fury till twelve at night, when the wind shifted to S. S. E. but abated very little before the night following. The rain descended in torrents, with little intermission, the chief part of the time.
The tide rose suddenly to a height hitherto unexampled, covering several parts of the Bar to a manner as to render it impassable, except in boats or other vehicles. Several Stores on the wharves, and at some distance from them had 2 and 3 feet water therein; in consequence of which great quantities of corn, salt &c. were destroyed.
The Schooner Perseverance, from this port for Charleston, belonging to Thomas Shrubrick, Esq. of the latter place, was blown ashore on South-Island; the people were saved but it is feared the vessel will be entirely lost.
Two negroes attempting to cross Sampit river in a canoe, were over-set, and fortunately saved themselves by swimming; two others in a similar attempt were drowned.
Several merchants and others have suffered very much; the injury the planters have sustained is incalculable. Many crops of rice ready to be gathered, are partly lost; and the destruction of banks, trunks &c. is very considerable.
Great apprehensions were entertained for the safety of persons residing at North Inlet; the dwelling houses of Messrs. Alston, Thurston, and Rolts, were blown down; kitchens and out-houses swept away by the impetuosity of the wind and tide; but although the situation of the inhabitants was truly distressing, and their lives in the most imminent danger, we are happy to state that none were lost.
The water in our streets was quite brackish, and sea turtle, teraquins, &c. were driven up to the town, one of which was caught by a negro fellow in a new brick store on the Bay.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26.
Arrived yesterday, brig Columbia Dye, from Jamaica—was boarded by a French privateer and treated politely.
Sch'r Philip, of this port, was carried into Jamaica for adjudication, for attempting to get into Curraoaa—acquitted vessel and cargo.
Markets at Jamaica—Flour 8 dolls.—Salt Provisions a drug.
The captain of the ship Hudson, arrived at New-York in 40 days from Liverpool, reports among other American vessels, the ship Governor Strong, Clarke, of this port, had arrived there on the 8th of August.
Our readers will find by this day's paper, that the late storm has been more destructive in the port of Savannah than our accounts have stated it to have been in the harbour of Charleston.
"Gun Boat No. 1," (see the Savannah head in the preceding page,) is safely lodged in a cornfield, on Whitemarsh Island, "about eight miles from whence she was driven by the gale." It will be matter of comfort to those who are solicitors about the protection of our commerce to be informed, that "it is hoped she will be got off without difficulty."
The following Circular letter may be useful information to the mercantile world.
Emden, July 6, 1804.
SIR, We have the honor to confirm our circular letter of the 1st of March; and can to day state with certainty that the French Consul commissioned to act at Meppen has been recalled by his government, and set out on his departure on Sunday last, after having taken a polite and friendly leave of the magistracy here.
The following advice from Meppen dated the 2d. inst. has also been received here by an express."
The French commandant has received orders to leave this town, and the whole territory of Aronberg, the day after tomorrow; all goods may now pass free except warlike stores, the conveyance of
which continues forbidden by the government here.
This intelligence has caused the most pleasing sensations here; and we can further add that no other French consul will come hither; but that the conveyance by Meppen will in future be as unimpeded as it was before the occupying of that place by the French troops.
This favorable change induces us to hope that your consignments to Germany will greatly increase; & we will avail ourselves of this opportunity again to offer you our services assuring you that we shall always feel the greatest pleasure in being able to give you proof of our sincere desire to serve you.
We remain with the greatest esteem VAN SPANKELEN & Co.
Beware of Counterfeits. —Several counterfeit fifty dollar notes of the branches of the United States Bank, have been stopped within a few days. They are filled up for Baltimore; and the top letter of those which have been seen is D. They are so well executed as not easily to be distinguished from the true bills. (Boston Gaz.)
A late London paper in speaking of the late unhappy duel between Gen. Hamilton and Col. Burr, observes, "The mind is shocked at the circumstance of the second Magistrate of a country having been guilty of such a violation of the law, and of his having been countenanced and assisted by a Judge, whose paramount duty it is to cause the laws to be obeyed, and to punish those who disobey them."
In a London Paper of August 2nd is the following article:—
"It is reported that Mr. Jefferson has been insulted in the most audacious manner, by Bonaparte, in a letter of his own hand writing, in which he blames him for not preventing his brother Jerome from marrying a woman so far below him in rank and fortune, and permitting the American merchants to supply Dessalines and the republic of Hayti with arms, ammunition and provisions."
JEROME BONAPARTE —Among the papers received from our different correspondents we find one, the New Brunswick Chronicle, of September 8, which contains the annexed article relative to Jerome Bonaparte and his bride. We have reason to think that of the letters alluded to are genuine, subsequent dispatches have been received of a much milder tenor, and making the requisite provisions for this youthful and interesting couple.
Halifax, September 8.
"We have been favored with the perusal of two French official letters, dated Paris 30th Germinal, (April 20) — One of them is signed "Decres" and directed to Jerome Bonaparte, now in America. The writer informs him, by order of the First Consul, his allowances are stopped; and intimates Napoleon's highest displeasure, at having remained so long in America, and having married without his consent. He (Decres) adds, that the young woman with whom Jerome is connected himself, will not be permitted to enter the French territories; and should she even arrive at any port in France, she will be immediately shipped for the American States. He is reminded that the First Consul is not operated upon by the bland affection of a parent; that he will only acknowledge those relations who profess to acknowledge him in executing his will plans. The brothers Joseph, Louis, and Lucien, are spoken of with high terms of commendation; but the latter though eminently useful, and possessed of an independent fortune, yet having contracted a marriage contrary to the will of the First Consul, has been banished to Rome. But you says the writer, "are pointed out as a man without spirit yielding to the tender passions; not having added a single leaf to the laurels which crown him, his name, and our country." He is repeatedly pressed to return to France in the first Frigate that may offer; but as often cautioned against bringing the young woman with him; "It would be degrading," says Decres, "your personal dignity to introduce into this country, a woman who ought to be in humiliation, and who will not be received here."
The other letter is from Citizen "Denes," directed to citizen Pichon; and is to the same effect: the whole of both letters (which are very lengthy) is such as to impress the reader, with an idea of the supreme influence and contempt with which the Usurper looks down on those engaged in the humble walks of life. They were intercepted on board a vessel bound from Bourdeaux to New York; and we have not the final left doubt of their authenticity."

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, a dollar and 75 cents, to be paid on the delivery of each Volume.  IV. The European Edition sells at 12 dollars per set.  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. 
Subscriptions to the above work received at Robert & John Gray's book Store, Alexandria.
ROBERT & JOHN GRAY HAVE JUST RECEIVED
A large supply of Dr. Stoughton's GENUINE BITTERS,
THE happy facts, and superior efficacy of these bitters, can be testified by hundreds in Alexandria and its neighbourhood, during the prevailing sickly season. 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 name, 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. March, George Town, and Mr. A. Buck, Frederickburg. Also just received,
