ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS REWARD.
RANAWAY from the subscriber on the 29th of October last, a negro man slave named BOB, about 20 years of age, five feet nine inches high straight limbed and well formed; said slave hath an impediment in his speech which prevents his readily replying to a question. He commonly wears ear-rings. He took with him a variety of good clothing, a description of which is unnecessary, as it is probable he has changed them. He has been frequently seen about town since he absconded, and in all probability is now secreted by his mother, Winney Brown, formerly the slave of Mr. JOHN MUIR, late of this town, but now said to be free. The above reward will be paid for securing said Negro BOB, in any goal, and a further reward of TEN DOLLARS for the discovery of those who have been accessory to his concealment. Captain's of vessels, &c. are forewarned at their peril, not to take him away. ROBERT B. JAMESSON. Nov. 15.

2. Who presided on the trials?
3. What were the circumstances, gene- rally, which attended them?
4. Were the counsel for the prisoner, at the first trial, permitted to argue the point whether the offence charged amounted to high treason?
5. Were they prevented by the court from arguing that point on the second trial?
6. Was the prisoner condemned without counsel being heard in his defence?
7. Did any correspondence ever pass be- tween you and the Executive of the United States, on that occasion? and if any, of what nature?
8. Is that correspondence now in your possession?

10. Are you acquainted with the cir- cumstances which attended the trial of Tho- mas Cooper for sedition.
11. Relate those circumstances?
12. Was a subpoena to summon any wit- ness in behalf of the accused refused? how? and by whom?
The answer of William Lewis to the inter- rogatories exhibited to him on the part of the house of Representatives, upon the inquiry into the official conduct of Samuel Chase, and Richard Peters, or either of them.
I, William Lewis, of the city of Phila- delphia, being one of the people called qua- kers, and conscientiously scrupulous of tak- ing an oath, on my solemn affirmation de- clare and affirm as follows:
That I was present at the trial of John Fries, for treason in the circuit court of Pennsylvania, in the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety nine and assisted him as his counsel, at his request, & I believe under an assignment for that purpose by the court, but I have no recollection of having been present at any part of his trial for treason in 1800.
That the first trial was before the hono- rable James Iredell, one of the associate judges of the supreme court of the United States, and the honorable Richard Peters, judge of the district court of Pennsylvania.
That Mr. Dallas, Mr. W. Ewing and I were counsel for the prisoner, and were permitted freely to produce every authori- ty, and to urge every argument which we thought proper and relevant, on the law as well as the facts to prove that the offence did not amount to treason, that the trial was conducted to the best of my judgment and belief, with moderation, patience and indulgence, and I do not recollect any thing to have taken place during the trial, that seems to me to merit particular notice, except, that after the prisoner had been convicted, a new trial was granted on mo- tion of Mr. Dallas and myself; principally, and I believe on the ground, that one of the jurors, after he had been summoned, and before he was sworn, had made decla- rations, manifesting a prejudication of the case against the prisoners in general, and more particularly so, against John Fries.
It is with great regret that I find myself called on at this distance of time, when I fear that my recollection may in some de- gree fail me, to answer the fifth interrogato- ry, and I feel it a duty to add, that although my memory is I believe, a remarkably ac- curate one for a short time, it is far from being so after a considerable lapse of time, and it is therefore possible that my answers to this interrogatory may not be so correct as I wish them to be, but they shall be as much so as it is in my power to make them.
To the best then of my recollection and belief, the following circumstances took place on the two days next preceding the trial of John Fries for treason before the honorable Samuel Chase one of the associ- ate judges of the supreme court of the U. States, and the honorable Richard Peters, judge of the district court of Pennsylvania, in the latter end of April or early in May
1800, Mr. Dallas and I were the counsel of the prisoner at his request, and I believe by the appointment of the court. On the first of these days, when I entered the court room, the judges were on the bench, the jury were soon after called and many of them appeared, I am unable to say whether John Fries was at this time in the bar as- signed for criminals or not, but if he was not there, I feel sure that he was placed there in a few minutes after. Mr. Dallas was not at this time in court, and before he came, Judge Chase handed or threw down to Mr. Caldwell the clerk of the court one or more papers, and at the same time deli- vered himself, in substance, and as nearly as I can recollect to the following effect: That he understood or had been informed, that on the former trial or trials, there had been great waste of time, by counsel mak- ing long speeches to the jury on the law as well as on the facts, and on matters which had nothing to do with the business before the court, and he particularly noticed in strong and pointed terms of disapprobation, their having read, and I think having been permitted to read, certain parts of certain statutes of the United States, relating to crimes less than treason, in order to shew that the prisoner's case came within them, and which he said, he or the court (I do not recollect which) would not suffer to be read again, as they had nothing to do with the question. He added that we are judges of the law and understand it, or we are not fit to sit here; that cases at the common law, or under the statute law of England previ- ous to the English revolution, had nothing to do with the question, and that they would not suffer them to be read; that they had made up their mind on the law, and had reduced it to writing, and that the counsel might conduct themselves accord- ingly, (or conformably to it) he or they had ordered copies of it to be made, and one of them to be delivered to the counsel in support of the prosecution, and another to the prisoner's counsel, and that as soon as the case was opened or gone through (I am not sure which was the expression,) on the part of the prosecution, he or they (I am not certain which) should order one to be delivered to the jury. He also added, that if we had any fault to find with the o- pinion of the court, or had any thing to say on the law, to shew that they were wrong or had mistaken it, we must address our- selves to the court, and not to the jury.—
About the time when judge Chase began to speak, the clerk handed me one of the papers. If I looked at it, it has escaped my recollection, but if I did, I am confi- dent that I read but a very small part of it, as my attention was immediately engaged by the declarations made by judge Chase and I very soon threw it from me, decla- ring in court, but whether addressing my- self too it, or not I cannot recollect, that my hand should never be tainted by receiv- ing a prejudged opinion in any case; much less in a capital one. The novelty as well as the nature of the proceeding agi- tated me considerably, and I replied with that warmth which I thought the occasion demanded, as nearly as I can recollect, as follows: That in civil cases I deemed it proper that the consideration of the law and the facts should be kept as separate as pos- sible, and that the former should be deter- mined by the court, and the latter by the jury, but that in criminal cases, and espe- cially in capital ones, it was the constitu- tional right of the jury to determine the law as well as the facts; that it was the right of the prisoner for the jury to pass be- tween him and his country on both of them; that it was the right of his counsel to address the jury on the law as well as the facts; that I deemed this right a sacred and a great constitutional one, which should never be sacrificed by me, and I added that I never had, and never would address the court on the law in any criminal prose- cution whatever.
That although the constitution and nature of the United States might not perhaps be materially different from the English statute of treason, as to levying of war, and although the judges in England, since their situation was rendered in- dependent, had been able and upright, it did not follow that the law of treason, as settled in that country, was applicable here, because the judges there had since the revolution, and since their independence, held themselves in many particu- lars, bound by former decisions, but that our judges were not bound by them in the construction of a new statute of our own, and that I there- fore could not submit to the doctrine, that what- ever was the present law of treason in England, as to the levying of war, was the law of trea- son in this country. That it was important to guard at the beginning against a latitude of con- struction of our own constitution and law, by showing the extravagant lengths which courts in England had gone under the statute of Edward the Third, before the judges were independent, and when many of the contradictions which prevail at this day were established; that I deemed it
the right of counsel to shew this, and if I was deprived of it, and if the court had made up their mind on the law before the jury were sworn, before any evidence was given, and before the prisoner's counsel had been heard and if the counsel were now to be restricted in the manner declared by judge Chase, I despair of being able to render the prisoner any service, as there was but little, if any dispute, as to the facts, and his case depended in a great measure, if not altogether, on the law. It is impossible for me, at this distance of time, to repeat the precise words that were made use of, in so sudden and unexpected an altercation, but I feel confident that I have stated the substance, and most mate- rial parts, and although I am not conscious of it, it is impossible that some parts of what I had mentioned as being said by me, passed on the se- cond and not on the first day.
Judge Chase apparently heard me with im- patience (I mean on the first day) and it certain- ly without seeming to pay much regard to what had been said by me.
In an early stage of the business I was struck with the idea, that if judge Chase had made up his mind on the law, it was not likely that any thing which Mr. Dallas or I could say would alter it; and that if we withdrew from the pri- soner's defence under the circumstances which took place, and left him without counsel, and if he should be condemned, it was not like- ly that he would be executed and I there- fore concluded in my own mind, that it would be best for us to do so, more especially as we had been assigned by the court, and I thought we might do it without dishonor to ourselves.
As soon as I saw Mr. Dallas coming into court I met him and gave him a brief (I believe not a full) account of what had taken place, and of my determination if he concurred in it, He did concur and we went to the bar together, where he repeated, in part, the sentiments which had been delivered by me, with some additional ones. The trial did not come on that day. I am not sure of the cause which prevented it, nor have I the least recollection of having heard judge Peters on that day say a single word on the subject which has been mentioned.
Mr. Dallas and I informed John Fries of our determination to withdraw ourselves from his de- fence, if he would agree to it; and we strongly recommended to him to do so, as we did not think it likely, after what had passed, that we could render him any service in court—and as our withdrawing ourselves might and probably would, be of material use to him with the Pres- ident, if he should be convicted. He seemed greatly alarmed at his situation, and perplex- ed to know what to do. We told him that if he insisted on it we would go on in his defence, and render him all the service in our power; but, that after what had passed, we feared it would be little if any.
He at length said, that his dependence was on us, that he was sure we would advise him to the best, and that he would do as we thought proper. It was then agreed that we should withdraw our- selves as has been proposed. I believe it was not at this time, but certainly before he was called on in court the next day it struck me, that perhaps the court might offer to assign him other counsel—and as I supposed that the reason which influenced the conduct of Mr. Dallas and me, should equally apply to them, I advised him not to accept of it, & he agreed to follow my advice.
When I have said that Mr. Dallas and I held the prisoner, that if he insisted on it, we would go on in his defence, I am not to be understood that we would have done it, under the restriction which had been attempted by judge Chase, but that we would have gone on in the usual manner, and in the exercise and enjoyment of all our pro- fessional rights, until we were stopped by the court, and so far as concerns myself I solemn- ly declare, that if I knew my own mind, I would have gone on in this way, or not at all; that I would not have tamely surrendered any one of the rights for which I contended, that I held them and still hold them so far as I should have persisted in them until I was stopped by an actual exercise of the authority of the court, and that if this had taken place, nothing could have induced me to have proceeded further, whatever the consequence might have been.
Having as I believed, with Mr. Dallas, faith- fully done our duty on the first day, and satisfied John Fries of the propriety of our conduct, and prevailed on him to follow our advice, I went to court the next day with a mind somewhat in- different as to what might take place, and I ne- ver intending to neither say nor do any thing more than to inform the court, that neither Mr. Dallas nor I was any longer the counsel for the prisoner, and that we should take no part in his defence. Soon after the opening of the court, judge Chase addressing himself to Mr. Dallas and me, asked if we were ready to proceed; on which I answered, that we were no longer the prison- er's counsel, and I began to state in a few words our reasons for our withdrawing ourselves from his defence, when I was interrupted by his tel- ling me, that we might go on in our own way as we pleased, and that the court would hear us, and to the best of my recollection he expressed himself in terms which evidently shewed a wish- ingness that we might go on without the pres- ent restriction which had been insisted on the day before. We refused on account of what had passed, & of the determination which we had taken.
The court endeavored to prevail on us to proceed, but it was in vain, for we were po- sitive, and determined not to do it. Judge Peters said that we might take as large a range as we pleased, and asked if an error had been committed

On Sunday morning at three o'clock departed this life, Mr. ROBERT HARPER in his twentieth year—his friends and fellow-citizens are respectfully invited to attend his funeral this afternoon at four o'clock, from his Father's house in Washington-street to the Presbyterian burial ground.
YOUTH OF ALEXANDRIA! mourn for the departure of thy friend and favorite. Death has summoned to her solemn mansion the fairest flower that budded among you, a youth adorned with all the estimable qualities which are calculated to form the perfect and the upright man. Early nurtured in the school of virtue, Harper was esteemed, beloved, and admired. The mild, serene, and complacent air with which he was wont to salute his companions, rendered our relick friend the object of universal love. Trace him through the short period of his earthly career, and we will always find religion and morality to be the characteristics of his nature. Possessed of a strong and retentive memory, and sound judgment, he shone conspicuously in the different branches of education, which were pursued by him in the academy and the college. After the termination of his collegiate exercises, he entered upon the study of the law, and promised fair to be nobly distinguished in the profession. But the grave has deprived the world of a scholar, and a model of perfection. Behold your much valued friend on the death bed, calm, serene, and perfectly resigned to fate.—Behold him clasping his tender mother around the neck, discoursing in his last moments on topics of religion, and offering up grateful prayers to the great and almighty Creator.

Dec. 7. 1803—Approaching too near the island of St. Helena, we were brought to by the fort—went on shore with the ships papers, and had permission from the commissary (the governor being absent) to proceed. Having returned on board, 60 armed men came and took possession by the Governor's orders, and carried her in—Went on shore, and was informed by the governor that he had suspected we were sent by some ships which had been seen cruising to windward, to reconnoitre the harbor, but that he was now satisfied we were Americans, and gave liberty to depart, treating us politely.
Dec. 7.—Arrived at St. Helena, the Duke of Portland (whaler) of London. She had been into Table Bay, where she anchored at 6 o'clock in the evening, but getting intelligence of the renewal of the war during the night, at 6 o'clock in the morning she cut her cable and effected her escape.
The English ships Georgiana and Castle Eden were also at St. Helena. On board the latter came passenger Lord Clive, late governor of Madras. Sir William Bentish arrived at Madras, and took possession as governor a few weeks before the Castle Eden sailed, she being 12 weeks from Madras. The captain of the Castle Eden informed me, that his ship had been appointed to take off the British troops at the Cape of Good Hope—that he had taken a part only, when the intelligence of war arrived and he was obliged to depart.
There were three French prizes at St. Helena: two whalers, one with 1200 and the other with 1500 barrels of oil, and the third a ship from the
Mauritius, laded with sugar and coffee, and estimated to be worth 60,000 sterling.
The ship Jupiter, Captain Sahn, arrived at Charleston the 17th ult. in 73 days from London. Left there the 1st of December, and passed Gravesend on the 2d:—The pilot went on shore, and was informed that an engagement had taken place in the Mediterranean, in which Admiral Nelson was killed. On the 5th of Dec. capt. S. left the Downs, on which day a frigate arrived and anchored, and immediately sent a boat on board the Admiral ship, who soon after fired a salute which captain S. supposed to be in consequence of some intelligence brought by the frigate.
LATE FROM EUROPE.
New York, March 7.
The ship Manchester captain Hall, has arrived within the Hook in 52 days from Liverpool.
We understand from the Hound pilot boat, that boarded the Manchester, that captain Hall brings papers to the 9th January, which is 38 days later than heretofore received. No invasion had taken place at that time—Bonaparte was at Paris—and markets remained without any material alteration.
The report of the death of Lord Nelson which has been published in this city, is not correct. The distinguished officer is still living, and at his post in the Mediterranean.
A French squadron consisting of one ship of the line, three or four frigates, with several transports, and about two thousand troops, which were cruising in the East Indian seas, have fallen into the hands of the English.
Savannah, Feb. 15.
A gentleman from the Havana informs us, that the mail of the Spanish sloop of war captured by the Æolus frigate, was not thrown overboard as has been reported, but that it has arrived, having been forwarded by the government of Jamaica in a private boat immediately on the sloop of war arriving in port. The conduct of the Spanish capt. was accounted for, in his having been the bearer of dispatches in the same vessel unarmed, the voyage before, and meeting with a British cruiser was compelled to suffer his vessel and papers to be overhauled; when upon his return to Spain, he was severely reprimanded for thus permitting the Spanish flag to be insulted, notwithstanding he was destitute of the means of protecting it. The ship was then put in a state of defence for him, and on his sailing in with Æolus , resolved not again to incur the undeserved displeasure of his government, and returned the fire of the Æolus —the consequences were as heretofore published.
Congress of the United States.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Tuesday, March 6.
Mr. Smilie, as soon as the Managers report was read, moved the following resolution.
Resolved, That this House doth approve of the conduct of the Managers appointed to support the articles of impeachment in the case of John Pickering, as stated in their report of this day, and that the said Managers do not appear at the bar of the Senate until they shall be specially instructed by this House.
Mr. Elliot moved to strike out the words "as stated in their report of this day."
Mr. Elmer remarked that the Managers appeared to consider the proceedings of the Senate incorrect. This might be the case; but from the information before him, he was not prepared to say so. He was of opinion that the Senate were the sole judges of the mode of conducting the trials before them.
Mr. Smilie. The Senate undoubtedly have a right of fixing their mode of procedure; but if that mode shall be such as shall interfere with our rights, we have a right to insist upon them. Such a procedure, as has been adopted by the Senate in the present instance, I have never heard of. But if the Managers are satisfied with what has been already done, without any further act on the part of the House, I am also. It is my wish that they would inform us what they desire.
Mr. Dana. It is very proper for the Managers of an impeachment to apply to the House on the occurrence of a new case; but it is not necessary for the House to express an opinion of their conduct in every stage of the trial. It may be proper to give them instructions when they desire it; but it is not necessary to pass a vote of approbation or disapprobation on their conduct. In this case it is entirely useless, and may be injurious. I therefore move the previous question.
Mr. Nicholson. The Managers entertain no other desire but that of being guided, in the discharge of the duty devolved upon them, by the directions of the House. They would deem it a matter of extreme regret, were the House to disapprove their conduct on the present occasion. But no individual among them—I speak for myself, and believe I may likewise speak for all those associated with me—wishes a vote of approbation by this House. I would therefore be pleased, if the gentleman would agree to strike out that part of the resolution which expresses such approbation. If the mover does not agree to this mo-
tion, I shall take the liberty of moving it.
Mr. Smilie. I cannot agree to strike out this part of the resolution, as it is, in my opinion, the most important part of it. The conduct of the Senate has met with the disapprobation of the Managers, and they have withdrawn from the court. Their conduct must be right or wrong. It is proper for the House to express an opinion, whether it is correct or incorrect.
Mr. Nicholson observed that on further reflection he did not consider himself at liberty to make any motion, or to vote on any made on the subject before the House.
Mr. G. W. Campbell was of opinion that it would only be necessary for the House to express an opinion, in case they disapproved the conduct of the Managers.
Mr. Huger declared himself of the same opinion.
Mr. J. Lewis moved a postponement of the further consideration of the motion until to-morrow.
Mr. Smilie had no objection to the postponement.
All further procedure was arrested by the agreement to a motion of Mr. Nicholson to adjourn—Ayes 60.
On the ensuing day, Mr. Smilie said, as the resolution appeared to be discreditable to some gentlemen, he would withdraw it.

we would not suffer it to be corrected? Or to this effect. He added that the papers which had given so much offence had been called and I think that he said that they had been burned or destroyed. I observed that although it might be the case, with respect to the papers was not so with respect to the proceedings. On the minds of the judges, which still remained, and would have the same effect as if the papers were still in existence. I added that many of the juries who had been present and heard what had passed, might be on the trial with all the prejudices which the declarations from the bench on the preceding day had created. The court appeared anxious to induce Mr. Dallas and me to undertake the prisoner's defence, and certainly offered to remove every previous restriction which had been imposed on the day before. We repeated and finished on several of the grounds which we had taken on the preceding day, and absolutely refused to have any thing further to do with the prisoner's defence before the court. I then left it und; not recollect to have been convinced; and I therefore cannot say, what circumstances attended his second trial. It is proper to add, that when judge Chase desired Mr. Dallas and me on the second day to go on our own way, and as we pleased, he said it would be at the risk or hazard of our characters if we attempted to conduct ourselves improperly, and that it must be under the direction of the court, which would judge of what was right, or words to this effect.
That I have always understood and believed the prisoner was condemned without counsel being heard in his defence, but not having been present at the second trial I cannot assert it of my own knowledge.
That soon after sentence of death had, as I understood, been pronounced on Fries, Mr. Thomas Adams, the son of the then President Adams, spoke to me in court, and said his father wished to know the points and authorities which Mr. Dallas and I had intended to rely on, in favour of Fries, if we had defended him on his last trial; and asked if I had any objections to his seeing them? I said that I had not; but that the President never sent to me for them, nor did I ever send them to him. Shortly after this Charles Lee, Esq. the then Attorney General, made a similar request of me, and assigned as a reason for it, that he might perhaps be consulted by the President on the occasion, and wished to consider the case; but he did not tell me that the request came from the President, nor that he intended laying the statement, which he asked for, before him. I spoke to Mr. Dallas, and we agreed to comply with Mr. Lee's request. Mr. Dallas prepared a statement in the form of a letter, from him and me, to Mr. Lee, and sent it to me. I made some alterations in it, had it copied, and sent to Mr. Dallas, the original draft and alterations, together with the copy signed by me. The letter was, as I understood, signed by Mr. Dallas, and sent to Mr. Lee. Mr. Dallas being in possession of the original draft and alterations, is more capable of proving the contents than I am. He has sent me a copy, which I suppose to be correct: but as I have not compared it with the original, I cannot prove it to be so. He is also in possession of a letter in answer to it, from Mr. Lee to him and me, and can better prove its contents than I can, although he has furnished me with a copy which I suppose to be correct.
I know of no other correspondence that ever passed between the executive of the U. States and me, on the occasion mentioned in the last interrogatory.

ROBERT and JOHN GRAY HAVE JUST RECEIVED, From Messrs. Stokes and Co's Patent and Far. Medicine Store, Mount Pleasant, New York, and for sale at their book store, King Street,
A SUPPLY OF Family & Patent Medicines, -CONSISTING OF- Chambaud's Antasthmatic Lozenges; Ague and Fever Drops; Antibilious Pills; Anodyne Essence for Head Aches; Reanimating Solar Tincture; Dr. Bardwell's genuine Eye Water; At- kinson's Essence of Mustard; Scotch Ointment for the Itch; Tooth Ach Drops; Aromatic Lozenges; Essence of the Woods, &c. &c.
Dr. Hunter's genuine Antibilious Pills, For the prevention and cure of Yellow, Bilious and Putrid Fevers.
Every experienced physician knows what dangerous disorders arise from a redundancy of bile in the habit; however salutary a due secre- tion of this fluid may be, yet a diffusion of it in the circulation is known, from its putrescent qua- lities, to bring on sudden and fatal fevers. The unparalleled success of Dr. Hunter's Antibilious Pills, in curing, and particularly in preventing this dreadful disease, is universally known in the islands, and has induced the proprietor to appoint agents in all the mercantile towns in the United States, for the accommodation of the public. The Antibilious Pills are therefore, in an especial manner, recommended as a preventative, deserve- ing the notice of all persons going to the West Indies, or any of those places infected with these fevers. Dr. Hunter has every possible rea- son, that can result from long and extensive expe- rience, for believing that a dose of these pills, taken once every fourteen days, during the pre- valence of our fall fevers, will prove an infallible preventative, and that, if taken in the early stages of these fevers, their use will very generally suc- ceed in restoring health, and frequently in cases esteemed desperate and beyond the power of com- mon remedies.
The operation of these pills is perfectly mild, may be used with safety by persons in every situa- tion and of every age.
In sickly times and places a dose should be taken once a fortnight, and if there is reason to appre- hend personal danger, once a week.
Observe that the signatures of Messrs. Thos. Stokes and Co. is affixed to each box, without which mark of authenticity they are not genuine.
MATRIMONY.
IT is much to be regretted but indisputably certain, that many persons of both sexes are deterred from enter- ing into the married state, by Secret Infirmities, which delicacy forbids them to disclose; and there are not a few who being already married, are rendered miserable for want of those tender pledges of mutual love, without which happiness in this state is at least very precarious. It has been ascertained beyond a doubt that the circum- stances are occasioned by general or partial relaxation or weakness in either sex, and it is equally certain that the genuine AROMATIC LOZENGES OF STEEL are the best, if not the only remedy ever discovered for this species of debility. When taken into the stomach, they immediately dissolve and diffuse themselves like a vapor through every pore, producing effects at once delightful, salutary and permanent. When the spark of life begins to grow dim, the circulation languid, and the faculties paralysed, these Lozenges are found to give tone to the nerves, exhilarate the animal spirits, invigorate the body and re-animate the whole man. When aversion to exer- cise, loss or depravity of appetite, and palied countenance, indicate approaching consumption, the delicate female will be preserved and restored to health and society by the benign influence of this medicine. When the delusions of imagination, or the force of bad example, have tempted unguarded youth into the dangerous labyrinth of secret sensuality, vitiated his body, and impaired his under- standing, these Lozenges will protect him from lingering disease, the infirmities of premature old age, and a wretch- ed dissolution amidst the agonizing reflections of conscious guilt. When the sons and daughters of dissipation have brought on themselves debility, relaxation, imbecility, and a long train of nervous affections, manifested by im- paired memory, anxiety, agitation, tremours, languor, paleness, emaciation, inattention, apathy in men; hys- terics, spasms, loss of appetite, irregularity, weakness, abor- tion, pains in the back, chest, &c. in women; these Lozen- ges will restore health and vigor to the debilitated frame, and cheerfulness and animation to the mind.
Price One Dollar per packet.
Particular directions for their use are sealed up with each, but as the great benefit to be derived from them can only be secured by having them genuine, the public are requested to observe that the signature of Messrs. Thos. Stokes and Co. are affixed to each packet, without which mark of authenticity, they are not genuine.
Dr. Atkinson's genuine Essence of Mustard.
Rheumatism in every stage, instantly submits to its pe- netrating powers, which has succeeded in curing the most pernicious cases of rheumatism gout, lumbago, sciatica, numbness, palsy and complaints of the stomach, after spurious medicines have proved ineffectual. It is prepared in pills, and also in a fluid state. The pills are particularly serviceable in flatulences and indigestion, and by their solitary operation, promote perspiration, and gradually undermine the most obstinate rheumatism; and at the same time, invigorate the debilitated constitution. The fluid essence is a penetrable active embrocation, necessarily used with the pills, and generally excites a tingling sen- sation; it removes the cutaneous eruption, by bringing on a cir- culation in the parts affected; by this means, frozen limbs, the feverish heat and bruises, old strains anae- raxions, are generally cured by a few applications. The genuine is distinguished from counterfeits, by the signa- ture of Thomas Stokes and Co. being affixed to each bot- tle; without which mark of authenticity, none are genu- ine.
The genuine Scotch Itch Ointment.
The only medicine that cures this disagreeable disease, by one application, for many hands having experienced its efficacy; it is unnecessary to add any more arguments in its favor, but to caution the public that the name 'Tho- mas Stokes and Co.' is affixed to each box, without this mark of authenticity, none are genuine.
Dr. Bardwell's genuine Eye Water.
A foreign remedy for all diseases of the Eyes; spec-
ily removes inflammations, dimness, itching, and stings it never fails to cure those maladies which frequently suc- ceed the measles, small-pox, and fever; and is an un- paralleled strengthener of a weak sight.
Dr. Hunter's genuine Antibilious Pills.
An agreeable and certain preventative of the predispo- sition to inflammatory and malignant fever, which prevails at particular seasons of the year. The rapid and increasing demand from every part of the United States, and the West India islands, is the best evidence of their superior excellence.
CHAMBAUD'S Antasthmatic Lozenges.
A radical cure for coughs, colds, asthma and con- sumptions, difficulty of breathing, &c. &c.
Mr. CHAMBAUD, the sole proprietor of this medicine, has the satisfaction to announce that they have been the means of relieving many persons in a most precarious state of health. In common colds this medicine produces so salutary a perspi- ration that they generally are eradicated in a few hours. Coughing, being prolonged by that convul- sive symptom termed the tickling in the throat, it shortens its duration by promoting sleep and strength- ening the constitution. Pulmonary complaints, af- fecting the breast and lungs; those affected with them experience an almost immediate relief. As- thmas and confined consumptions have repeatedly been eradicated by them. Infants in the hooping cough, and women during pregnancy, may take them without the least fear of danger, and with the greatest expectation of relief, nor can it be admini- stered at an improper season.
Dr. BARDWELL'S Annodyne Essence, for all kinds of Head Aches.
THE renowned virtues of the Annodyne essence, is now so generally known, that it is no presumpti- on in the Proprietor, to say, that Head Aches, aris- ing from whatever cause, or however violent, in- stantly submit to its penetrating powers. This in- valuable Annodyne, has frequently succeeded after the best advice, and every other remedy had fail- ed; by its salutary operation, it insensibly promotes circulation and perspiration, and thereby prevents the return of the most obstinate periodical head aches.
SPRING PHYSIC.
DR. HUNTER'S Anti-Bilious Pills are unquestion- ably proved by ample experience to be the most effectual remedy, at the same time the most innocent, pleasant, and convenient medicine for the cure of scurvy, scorbutic eruptions, leprosy, and other disorders originating from a corruptive state of the blood. The remarkable cure of Mr. Edithon, of Albany, who had been twelve years tormented with a most distressing scorbutic complaint, as also that of Thomas Johnson, a labouring man, in the service of Mr. Van Rensselaer, who was afflicted with a most horrid leprosy, must have convinced every one who has read the particulars of these cases, besides which, a variety of proofs of their efficacy, authenticated by per- sons of character and respectability are open to the ex- amination of every inquirer. These must naturally be supposed to have their due weight, and supersede the necessity of any further comment from the Proprietor, yet, he presumes to assert, that the real merits of this vegetable preparation will, on a fair trial, plead more forcibly its own recommendation than any thing which can be said of it.
Where also may be had,
Atkinson's Worm destroying Lozenges.—These Lo- zenges not only destroy worms where they exist, but ef- fectually prevent their return. Those families who have followed Dr. Atkinson's advice, and used them in the Spring and Fall among their children, as their commu- nion in physic, have now the happiness to find those children, which appeared sickly and consumptive, in the bloom of health, being entirely delivered from those dread- ful vermin.
Sparta, Mount Pleasant,
March 27, 1803.
We hereby certify, that our daughter, about 4 years of age, has been very unwell and in a bad state of health for these last two years. We always suspected that she had worms, and had given her several worm medicines, without any good effect, to that we despaired raising her till of late. Hearing of some surprising cures being per- formed by Atkinson's worm destroying Lozenges, we purchased a packet of them, and administered them ac- cording to the directions. The first dose brought away only one worm, and with it a quantity of slimy, offen- sive matter; the second brought away four monstrous thick worms nearly half a yard in length; and the third dose, a large quantity of a slimy, offensive matter. The vomiting and purging, with which she was frequently troubled have ceased—her appetite has become regular, and has over since enjoyed a perfect state of health, for which we are entirely indebted to this excellent medicine
Dr. BARDWELL'S
Re-animating Solar Tincture, or Pabulum of Life Of the cure of Consumption and Asthma. Disorders in the Stomach and Bowels, Convulsions, Cholic and Di- senteries.
Cautious in investigation, and attentive enquiry into the nature and laws of the animal economy, having long confirmed an opinion in the mind of the inventor, that all the maladies abovementioned, derive their origin from the same cause, indirect debility, or consequent weakness, the analogy of their source, by a natural in- ference suggested the idea of their removal by the same means; the result was the discovery of the Re-animating Solar Tincture, which after having been employed in thousands of instances, with the most unexampled and astonishing success, has obtained the warmest approbation of characters of the first respectability, both in and out of the profession; the proprietors can confidently recommend, as one of the most certain, efficacious, and pleasant re- medies ever discovered by man or offered to the world.
Price, 1 dollar and 1 dollar 50 cents per bottle. The large bottle contains nearly two of the small. Copious Directions for their use are sealed up with each bottle.
Dr. Stoughton's Cordial Bitters, faith- fully prepared at the original warehouse, Lon- don.
This incomparable medicine has stood the test of universal approbation in Europe for near an hun- dred years, in the cure and prevention of,
Loss of appetite, bad digestion, windy cholic, urfets, hysterical vapours, faintness and trembling, ague and fever, depressed spirits, foul breath, worms in children, scurvy, obstructions or stop- ages, bilious fevers, sick fits, &c. &c.
These Bitters being now generally used in taverns and public places, and universally acknow- ledged by all who have tried their effects, to be far superior to the compositions formerly imposed in imitation thereof; the proprietor has reduced the price to those who purchase largely above fifty per cent. Directions will be pailed on the Bottles, and which will be also sealed, in order to detect counterfeits and upstart pretenders, who will all tell you, they make the genuine Stoughton's Bit- ters; and in order to impose their trash on the pub- lic, they sometimes copy a part of the true adver- tisement and directions.
Specific Drops for Deafness.
FOR many years have these drops been used with amazing success, in DEAFNESS & HARDNESS of HEARING. Those who are unacquainted with the great relief afforded by this valuable medicine, are ear- nestly recommended to trial. Few are the cases in which it has not been of great service, and very often perfected a complete cure.
Copious directions for the use of the Specific Drops for Deafness are sealed up with each bottle. Price one dollar.
