From the Gazette of the United States.
TOM PAINE, Invited to this country by his Right Worshipful and affectionate Friend, T. JEFFERSON.
No. IX.
(CONCLUDED.)
Having concluded our remarks upon the united exertions of Mr. Thomas Paine & Mr. Thomas Jefferson, to destroy the Reputation of Washington, and with it the Administration of our Government; and upon their Enmity to the constitution of the United States, in its present Form, we proceeded to the last thing proposed, which is to exhibit their Endeavours to bring Reproach and Contempt upon the Christian Religion.
On this head we shall be brief. We feel no disposition to call into notice the low buffoonery, and disgusting obscenity of Tom Paine, which he calls the Age of Reason. That production has already sunk into merited contempt; and far be it from us to engage in the dirty work of raking it from the native filth by which it is protected. It is still sufficiently remembered to be despised and to render the author an object of disgust, of abhorrence, of absolute loathing to every decent man except the president of the United States.
It is sufficient for our purpose, that the work is thus far remembered, and that it is also remembered with what industry and assiduity the adherents of Mr. Jefferson disseminated that vile and blasphemous trumpery among the more ignorant classes of the people in this country. It is not forgotten with what avidity the filthy thing was seized and printed off in cheap editions at those prostituted presses which published the letter of Paine to General Washington, and which have continually belched forth their shameless praises of Mr. Jefferson and all his unwarrantable conduct. It is not yet five years since those very presses which are proved to be in the pay of Mr. Jefferson, brought as a specific charge against General Washington that he disapproved of these writings of Paine, and cautioned the people of this country against the effects of them. They
the tomb of all the Capulets. The most profligate have no longer the courage openly to defend them. It is probable that Mr. Jefferson himself would not at this time be very lavish in their praise, especially in public. He ceased to encourage Genet in attempting to seduce the affections and fidelity of the people from president Washington, after a fair trial had convinced him that such a treasonable project could not be achieved. He became a pretended admirer of our federal constitution after his efforts to prevent its adoption had proved fruitless. He sighed, and sobbed, and made doleful faces over the venerable ashes of the deceased Washington after it was found that his letter to Mazzei, his National Gazette, his Prospect before us, and his other sly and treacherous calumnies had failed to render that worthy man an object of popular odium. It is very possible that, for similar reasons, he has now ceased openly to commend this blasphemous work of Paine. Let it be so; and we will content ourselves by pointing the readers attention to a few instances of his language and conduct which will be sufficient to prove that he as heartily concurs with Paine in his opposition to Christianity as in his rancorous hatred of the character of General Washington, and his persevering opposition to our federal constitution.
It is true that upon this subject, as upon others, in which an experiment was to be made, and then the object to be pursued or abandoned as the expediency of the one or the other course should be indicated by popular sentiment, Mr. Jefferson has done more by the pens of his hired agents than by his own. We shall not, however, take the trouble of tracing him through the National Gazette, the Aurora and such-like publications. Enough for our present purpose will be found cursorily scattered here and there in the Notes on Virginia. A few expressions which occur to the recollection shall be noticed.
In one place he has this remark:— "Millions of innocent men, women and children, SINCE THE INTRODUCTION OF CHRISTIANITY, have been burnt, tortured, fined and imprisoned:" as though the introduction of christianity had caused these enormities, almost equal to those which abounded in France after the introduction of Tom Paine and Atheism, established by a legislative decree.
In another place, speaking of religion in Pennsylvania and New York, he says, "Religion is there well supported; of various kinds, indeed, but all GOOD ENOUGH; all sufficient to preserve peace and order." He might have added, in the same devout strain—and that is all that any religion is good for.
The public are sufficiently well acquainted with Mr. Jefferson's attempts to prove, by his philosophy, the impossibility of a general deluge and the falsehood of the scriptural account of that occurrence: thereby either denying the divinity of the scriptures, or setting his own vain philosophy above the knowledge and power of the Deity himself.
In another part of the notes on Virginia, he says: "Those who labour in the earth are the chosen people of God if ever he had a chosen people." What a charming stroke of humour is this!—Almost worthy of Tom Paine himself: certainly worthy of his affectionate friend! Please to read it again. Mayhap you do not perceive all the delicate and refined sarcasm contained in it. Observe that the verbs are in the present tense. "Those who labour [at the present time] in the earth are [now] the chosen people of God, if ever he had a chosen people." This is found you will remark, in the Notes on Virginia, written for Virginians, and accommodated to their notions and habits of thinking. We all know who they are, who, in Virginia, labour in the earth. The sentiment would have been more obvious to people of the middle and eastern States, though we confess not quite as witty, had, Mr. Jefferson said "If God ever had a chosen people, they are, no doubt, our Virginian negroes." This sentiment appears a little odd in the mouth of a christian people: BUT IT IS GOOD ENOUGH;—as good as could be expected from the admirer and correspondent of Tom Paine.
Another of our president's witty sayings has been so famed as a bon mot, that we need not repeat it; we mean the one about twenty gods and no God picking my pocket, and breaking my leg. He has, in this remark, so happily hit off the very spirit and manner of his friend Paine, that he would be almost induced to affirm that it must have been produced just after a perusal of his affectionate friend's Age of Reason.
But the finest stroke of all is yet untold. It was thus. Mr. Jefferson was riding with a friend, a stranger in this country, who was well known to be a professed infidel; of course there was no need of disguising anti-christian sentiments in his presence. As they were passing by an old decayed building, in the interior of Virginia, the stranger inquired what it was, Mr. Jefferson told him it was a church. Do you suffer your churches, in this country, said the stranger, to go to decay and ruin in this manner; Why, sir, it looks like an old barn. O, replied Mr. Jefferson, it is GOOD ENOUGH for a God who was born in a manger.* We could never have believed that Mr. Jefferson's philosophic imagination ever elevated him to such a sublime and astonishing stroke of wit, had not the anecdote, to our knowledge, been attested by a gentleman of most unquestionable veracity, who heard it related at table by the stranger to whom Mr. Jefferson made the remark.
We challenge the admirers of Paine to produce, from all his Age of Reason, a specimen of smarter rapartee at the expense of good enough christianity. They will probably cite the following. Speaking of Isaiah's prophecy of the mysterious incarnation of our Saviour, "Behold! a virgin shall conceive and bear a son," &c. this affectionate friend of our virtuous president remarks:
"It certainly was not a difficult thing in any time of the world to find a girl with child or to make her so; and perhaps Isaiah knew of one beforehand; for I do not suppose that the prophets of that day were any more to be trusted than the priests of this."
Perhaps the following may be thought to come still nearer.
"The fable of Jesus Christ, taking it as it is told, is blasphemously obscene. It gives an account of a young woman engaged to be married, and while under this engagement, she is, to speak
* For the proofs of the authenticity of this narrative, and for the names of the gentlemen on whose authority it is related, see a pamphlet published in New-York, entitled "A Voice of Warning," &c. writing by the Rev. DR. LINN.
plain language, debauched by a ghost. This story is, upon the face of it the same kind of story as that of Jupiter and Leda, or Jupiter and Europa, or any other of the amorous adventures of Jupiter."
If this does not match the president it is doubtful whether any thing that Paine has written will do it. We will try but one more, and leave the reader to decide the palm of wit between these two champions. Speaking of the resurrection of saints at the crucifixion, Paine says:
"Matthew should have told us whether they came out naked and all in natural buff, he faints and she faints, or whether they came full dressed, and where they got their dresses; whether they went to their former habitations and reclaimed their wives, their husbands and their property, and how they were received; whether they entered ejectments for the recovery of their possessions, or brought actions of crim. con. against the rival interlopers whether they remained on earth, and followed their former occupations of preaching or working, or whether they died again, or went back to their graves and buried themselves."
Obe! jam satis est!—This is enough in all conscience; enough to shew what it was that Thomas Paine dedicated to his fellow citizens of the United States, and that the supporters of Thomas Jefferson laboured to put into the hands of every man, woman and child who could be prevailed upon to read it. Very pretty stuff for the edification of the wives and daughters of American citizens! But it is all GOOD ENOUGH—good enough to procure the high esteem and affectionate attachment of Thomas Jefferson—good enough to obtain for the writer a national ship to transport him to this country, to the arms of his affectionate friend—good enough to extort, even from Jefferson, a sincere prayer for the continuance of such useful labours, and for long life to the author, that he may reap his reward in the thankfulness of nations.
We leave it for those who are disposed to undertake the task, to decide the palm of victory between the two wits.
Non nobis tantus componere lites.
Perhaps it ought to be remarked in favor of Paine, that the quotations made from him were intended not as mere witticisms, but also as arguments, the object of which was to prove the scriptures a forgery. On the other hand, Mr. Jefferson had no object, no motive in view but to astonish and delight his friend by the brilliancy of his wit—sheer wit.
Now reader we have done—We have set before you, in full view, a pair of affectionate friends—par noble fratrum—GOOD ENOUGH for each others society, and for the society of those who entertain for them a high esteem and affectionate attachment. Our stomachs already nauseate at the sight of their affectionate embraces, and we entertain no doubt that you, as well as we, have become impatient to get out of such impious and indecent company—We leave them, then, to consummate their bliss.

PARIS, September 3.
The Russian troops which were at Naples, departed from thence the 9th August for Corfu. A Russian frigate will convey the transports on board of which the troops have embarked.
The Italian government has ordered, that the happy event of the proclamation of the Consulship for life of Bonaparte shall be celebrated at Milan, on the 26th August, by a Te Deum, races and illuminations.
September 6.
According to reports brought by some vessels arrived at Leghorn the latter end of August, the French squadron, sent to Tunis to demand satisfaction of the regency for the insult offered to a captain of a French vessel, and to the commerce of France in general, has summoned the Dey, in the name of the First Consul, to pay as an actual indemnity the sum of 200 thousand Colonari, and in future an annual contribution of 60 thousand Colonari; in case of refusal, the French Government threaten the Dey to declare war against him without delay. Other French men of war, dispatched to Algiers, were to make summons equally menacing; amongst others, that of instantly setting free all the slaves, of whatever nation, now to be found

in the Algerine territory. Should the Dey refuse to adhere to these conditions, the ships of war have orders to blockade the port.
That part of the dukedom of Cleves, situated on the left of the Rhine, is, it is asserted, about being ceded to the Batavian Republic for ten millions of florins.
ROUEN, September 1.
The Collector of the Customs has notified the merchants, that Rouen not being one of the ports designated for the entrepot of Tobacco, they will not only be refused admittance, but will be liable to seizure, conformably to the Art. II. of the law of the 29th Floreal, year 12, (19th May, 1802). He accordingly invites them to revoke the orders they may have given for that merchandise, or to alter its destination.
HELVETIC REPUBLIC.
BERNE, August 30.
We hear at this moment that the insurgents have just begun hostilities. They have taken the post of the Rigg, which was occupied by a Company of Carabiniers of the Canton de Vaud. The Captain and about thirty men have perished in that action. No precise accounts of this unfortunate event have as yet been received; but it appears that this post has suffered itself to be surprized, and that the insurgents have easily rendered themselves masters of it by taking possession of a height that commanded it, and which had been left unguarded.
On hearing the news, General Andermatt and the Commissary of government Keller gave orders for all the Helvetic forces to advance. They have addressed a last proclamation to the inhabitants of Uri, Schwitz and Untervalden, summoning them to submit to the government; but things are come to such a pitch, that there is no probability of this summons producing any effect.
GERMANY.
RATISBON, Aug. 26.
It is positively known that citizen Lafayette is alone, as minister extraordinary of the French republic, to follow the negotiations relative to the important affair of the indemnities. Citizen Bacher still continues to remain as charge d'affairs from France for every thing not connected with the settlement of the indemnities.
The two declarations transmitted the 18th inst. to the directory of the empire by the ministers plenipotentiaries of France and Russia, have yesterday been carried to the diet and published.
In the conference which took place on the 23d, between the members of the deputation, a difference arose between Hesse-Cassel and Wurtemberg, respecting the priority of vote.
August 28.
The second sitting of the diet took place on the 26th; the minister of Bohemia, M. de Schrant, gave a very important vote upon the declaration and convention transmitted by the ministers of France & Russia. The following is the substance:
"That the affair of the indemnities being merely an interior concern of the empire, could not be otherwise settled than by the free concurrence and co-operation of its states; that the plan communicated by France and Russia was but a project proposed to the deputation, which the latter could reject, modify or adopt, as it might think proper; that, when it related to interests so important as those which now occupy the deputation, no power could prescribe either the steps to be pursued, or, above all a period to its sitting: That, however, Bohemia was disposed to do every thing depending on her to accelerate the affair in question."
This official declaration of the court of Vienna, the first that it has published on the subject of the convention of indemnities, has created a lively sensation amongst the accredited ministers.
A courier from Vienna passed through this city the night before last on his way to Paris.
NEW-YORK, October 25.
Though the brig Eliza and Mary failed from Havre to the 18th of September, we do not find that a single paper has been received later than our advices via Philadelphia. We learn, however, that there was a general talk of a new rupture between Great Britain and France, and that all possible exertions were making at Brest, to fit their ships of war for service.
It appears, that Tom Paine had, at last, procured a passage in the ship London
Packet, Capt. Clark, and failed for Baltimore about the first of September.
A correspondent suggests the propriety of calling a meeting for the reception of Tom Paine, in order to express to him the gratitude of the nation, and cordially welcome him once more into the bosom of his beloved country, to complete his useful labours—and that the committee be particularly directed to apply to the different denomination of Christians to obtain the use of their church bells on the joyous occasion. It is to be hoped the citizens of Baltimore will attend to this hint.
The unfortunate, the persecuted LA FAYETTE, is no more—His death is announced in several private letters by the above arrival.
A gentleman lately from Africa, has favoured us with a printed prospectus of a News-Papers, to be printed at Sierra Leone, under the title of The Sierra Leone Gazette . We notice this as a novelty. The editor Mr. A. Smith, says it is the first, and will probably continue for many years, to be the only paper on the widely extended coast of Africa. It was at first to be published twice a month, and was probably began the beginning of the present year.

CHARLESTON, Oct. 18.
The ship Boyne, Safford, arrived yesterday from Liverpool, in the remarkable fine passage of 29 day. The Thomas, Higgins, and June, Miller, for this port, failed 18 days before capt. Safford.
The Boyne left Liverpool on the 18th Sept. but we have only obtained London papers to the 12th.
A few days before the Boyne failed, a dreadful fire broke out in the extensive warehouses on the south side of St. George's dock, Liverpool, which destroyed ten or twelve of the finest stores in that city, and great quantities of cotton and West-India produce. Fortunately for the
shipping in the dock, the tide was at its height, when the fire was first discovered, and they were speedily removed. The loss was estimated at one million sterling.
The Mercury, Stoddart, from this port, and Daphne, Malcolm, from Savannah, arrived at Liverpool. The Mac was to sail a few days after the Boyne, for this port.
Alexandria Advertiser.
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28.
In our relation of the late news from Guadaloupe we have been drawn into a mistake, when we stated that persons of colour were permitted to return. The fact is they are prohibited from returning to that Colony, and Mr. Pichon, in consequence of directions received from Guadaloupe, has instructed the Commissaries of France in the United States not to give passports to any person of colour for Guadaloupe.
(Nat. Intel.)
Information received from Algiers, as late as the 16th of August, states, that on the 5th of that month two French 74's, a corvette, and brig of war, under the command of a rear admiral, arrived at Algiers, having on board General Hulen, a French agent. On the next day the agent demanded a renunciation of all the pecuniary claims on the French, an admission of the Italian Republic to a free navigation, the severe punishment of two Algerine captains who had ill-treated two French captains, by throwing overboard national dispatches, and flogging a French captain at Tunis.
He further demanded the restoration of three Neapolitan vessels, with their cargoes and crews, captured by Algerine corsairs on the coast of France;—and declared that France would not give Mediterranean passport to any national vessel whatever.
In all these demands the Dey reluctantly acquiesced. Eight corsairs were under weigh when the French hove in sight, but immediately thereafter returned, and did not sail until the 14th of August.
On the 11th of August a French vessel of war arrived from Paris, after a passage of 12 days, bringing an aid-du-camp of Bonaparte, with letters to the Dey, informing him that he would double his vengeance on the regency in case of any further irritation, and would erase Algiers from the list of piratical nations.
The two Algerine captains have been put in prison and have been severely punished; and it is said, that they would have lost their heads but for the interposition of the French Agent.
The French are to have Lecalle, which they mean to fortify, and are to enjoy the commercial privileges specified in the treaty made in Dec. last, it is further stated that they demand a fortified factory at Bona.
On the 15th of August, the French agent failed, in an armed brig, for Marseilles. The next day was fixed for the departure of the admiral and his fleet for Tunis.
No English agent or naval force had appeared at Algiers—Spain had acquiesced in her previous arrangements.
It was apprehended at Algiers that the Dey, in order to recover his popularity, which had been much shaken by his submission to the French, would seek a rupture with either the Danes, Swedes, Dutch or Americans.
A letter from Malaga, dated August 10, states commodore Morris, with the frigate Adams, and the schooner Enterprise, to be at Gibraltar waiting the issue of Mr. Simpson's negotiation at Tituan. Admiral De winter, with three sail of the line, and some small vessels, proceeded from Malaga on the 9th August for Algiers, to accommodate the differences between the Batavian government and the Regencies of Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli. The Swedish frigates still continued to grant convoy to the Americans.

Americans! Let me for a moment call upon your attention. Surrounded by every blessing of life; exempt from the calamities of war; favored with the enjoyment of civil & religious liberty; & living in a rich, extensive variegated country, whose productions, while they furnish the means of subsistence at home, constitute an exhaustless fund for the support of your respectability abroad. What more can you de-
fire? or what remains for me to urge upon your consideration? Surely the possession of so many privileges must form in your minds such a striking contrast with the fate of Europe, as needs no illustration, must call forth sentiments of fervent gratitude to Heaven, and bind you together in ties of reciprocal affection, yet this is not the case; I see you divided, turbulent & discontented; torn by violent passions, and distracted by party animosity; neglecting your true interest to indulge in malevolence and rancor.
Whence, then, this spirit of discord? Whence comes the fiend that blasts your fairest crop of felicity, & poisons the cup of life? Surely this demon is not generated in our soil; it is of foreign origin; this weed that overruns our garden, is bro't from other lands. Yes, Americans, you may trace its progress. This pestilence has been imported from the dungeons of Europe; in every instance it has originated with foreigners; men who had nothing to lose; mere adventurers, without interest in our happiness, or knowledge of our laws, have been the first to blow the trump of confusion; to light the pile of destruction, that they might profit by the ruin; these are the men who now pretend to read you lectures on government; these are the self styled patriots who are to teach you your duties. No sooner are they landed on our shores, but liberty is their cry. Poor slaves! who never knew its value but by privation. Yet these are the characters who now sit as judges, and denounce the government which established and preserved our independence, as aristocratical, Anglo-monarchical and tyrannical. And can it be possible, that the people who resisted in the field the imposition of a British cabinet, can now submit to the insolence of foreign renegades? Forbid it decency; forbid it, my country!
Let us spurn the base idea of being dupes to such artifices—Let us show these glowing patriots, who burn with such solicitude for our freedom, that we are not sufficiently tired of domestic happiness to echo their slanderous abuse—Let us shake off the yoke of party distinctions, so assiduously cultivated by designing FOREIGNERS amongst us, and unite as brethren of one common family, in the pursuit of Rational Liberty and Justice; in the cultivation of domestic peace and mutual good will; in the manly support of social order under the banners of the government of our choice—Let us "restore harmony to social intercourse," not by invidious distinctions among ourselves, but by a just obnoxious of those shameless arts so long practised on our credulity, and by a merited contempt for their mercenary authors, the scum of foreign climes, and the disgrace to our more favored country.

Respectfully informs the Public that he has received from Lee & Co's Patent and Family Medicine Store, Baltimore, a fresh assortment of the following
Valuable Medicines,
Which are in high esteem and general use throughout the United States, many of them being sold cheaper than the drugs of which they are compounded, could be purchased at a retail Store.
TAKE NOTICE,
That S. Bishop is appointed the ONLY Agent for Alexandria.
Dr. HAMILTON'S ELIXIR, A sovereign remedy for Colds, Obtinate Coughs, Asthma, Catarrhs, Sore Throats, and Approaching Consumptions.
To parents who may have children afflicted with the HOOPING COUGH.
This discovery is of the first magnitude, as it is an immediate relief, checks the progress, and in a short time entirely removes the most cruel disorder to which children are liable—the Elixir is so perfectly agreeable and the dose so small, that no difficulty arises in taking it.
From LUTHER MARTIN, Esq. Attorney-General of the State of Maryland.
Gentlemen, I comply with your request in stating my opinion of Hamilton's Elixir. It has been used in my family for two or three years past, with uniform success, whenever colds, coughs, or similar complaints have rendered medicine necessary. I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable remedy for a very painful and troublesome affection of the breast, accompanied with soreness and with obstinate and difficult breathing.
On these accounts I do not hesitate to recommend Hamilton's Elixir, as a valuable medicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN.
Mr. Abijah Henly, Bridge-Street, Baltimore, was cured by one bottle of Hamilton's Elixir of a very complicated disorder, occasioned by a severe cold caught several months ago. He breathed with the greatest difficulty, and was often thrown into weakening sweats when he attempted to walk any distance, and his voice would frequently fail in such a degree that he could only attempt to whisper, he has been upwards of six weeks without a return of his complaints, and desires to give this public testimony in favour of this invaluable medicine.
Dr. Hamilton's GRAND RESTORATIVE,
Is recommended as an invaluable medicine, for the speedy relief and permanent cure of the various complaints which result from dissipated pleasures—juvenile indiscretions—residence in climates unfavourable to the constitution—the immoderate use of tea, frequent intoxication, or any other destructive intemperance—the unskillful or excessive use of mercury—the diseases peculiar to females, at a certain period of life—bad lyings in, &c. &c.
And is proved by long and extensive experience to be absolutely unparalleled in the cure of Nervous disorders, Consumption, Lowness of spirits, Loos of appetite, Impurity of the blood, Hysterical affections, Inward weakness, Seminal weakness, Fluor albus, (or whites) Barrenness, Violent cramps in the stomach and back, indigestion, melancholy, Gout in the stomach, Pains in the limbs, Relaxations, Involuntary emissions, Obtinate gleet, Impotency, &c. &c.
In cases of extremity, where the long prevalence and obstinacy of disease has brought on a general impoverishment of the system, excessive debility of the whole frame, and a wasting of the flesh, which no nourishment or cordial could repair a perseverance in the use of this medicine has performed the most astonishing cures.
HAMILTON'S ESSENCE and EXTRACT of MUSTARD,
A safe and effectual remedy for gout, rheumatism, palsy, sprains, bruises, pains in the face and neck, &c. And has performed more cures in the above complaints than all the other medicines ever before made public.
From Dr. Weatherburn, Wyth county, Virginia.
Gentlemen, I purchased at your shop the preparations you call Hamilton's Essence, or Extract of Mustard, which I believe has perfectly removed a chronic rheumatism (of that kind named sciatica, or of the hip joint) under which I had laboured for a long time, and which had baffled every article in the Materia Medica, and every mode of treatment received into practice for the cure of this obstinate disease. If you think this letter useful you are at liberty to make it public.
Yours, &c.
P. WEATHERBURN.
John Hoover, rope-maker, South Second-Street, between Mary and Christian-Streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily maketh oath as follows, namely, that his wife, Mary Hoover, was so severely afflicted with a violent rheumatism, very dangerously situated, the consequence of a severe cold after lying in, as to be confined to her bed for several weeks, and was at length reduced to the melancholy apprehension of remaining a cripple for life, notwithstanding the most respectable medical advice was followed, and every probable remedy attempted: when seeing several cases of cures performed by Hamilton's Essence and Extract of Mustard, they were procured from Mr. Birch, No. 17, South Second-Street. The first application enabled her to walk across the room, and the use of one bottle restored her to her usual state of health and strength.

HAMILTON'S
WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES.
Which have within four years past cured upwards of one hundred and twenty thousand persons of both sexes, of every age, and in every situation, of various dangerous complaints arising from worms, and form obstructions or foulness in the stomach and bowels.
This medicine bears no analogy whatever of similar title, so commonly complained of as operating with violence; on the contrary, a particular excellence of this remedy is its being suited to every age and constitution; contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, and is so mild in its operation that it cannot injure the most delicate pregnant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old, should no worms exist in the body; but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the stomach and bowels of whatever is foul or offensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms and many fatal disorders. They are particularly efficacious in carrying off all gross humours and eruptions; sevenish and bilious complaints, and are the safest and mildest purgative that can be used on any occasion.
Description of Worms, and the symptoms by which they are known.
Worms which infest the human body, are chiefly of four kinds, viz. the Tereis or large round worm, the Ascarides, or small maw worm, the Cucurbitina, or short, flat, white worm, and lastly, the Tania, or tape worm, so called from its resemblance to tape; this is often many yards long, and is full of joints—It is most hurtful, and most difficult to cure.
Among the symptoms attending worms, are disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—Bad and corrupted gums—itching in the nose and about the seat—Convulsions and epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—grating and grinding of the teeth in sleep—irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food, and sometimes voracious—Purging, with slimy and foetid stools—Vomiting—Large and hard belly—Pains and sickness at the stomach—Pains in the head and thighs, with lowness of spirits—Slow fever, with small and irregular pulse—A dry cough—Excessive thirst—sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms, should have immediate recourse to HAMILTON'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
A dose of this medicine given occasionally during the warm season, will effectually prevent the vomiting and purging of children, a dreadful disorder which annually destroys thousands of the infant part of our cities. It is likewise the mildest and most certain remedy known and has restored to health and strength a great number when in an advanced stage of this fatal complaint. Particular and plain instructions are given for every part of the necessary treatment in such cases.
Children generally take this medicine with eagerness; having a pleasing appearance, and an agreeable taste.
CASES OF CURES.
(Selected from thousands) the authenticity of which any person may ascertain, either by letter or personal application.
TAPE WORM.
Mr. SAMUEL FULLER. Inn keeper, on the Harford road, ten miles from Baltimore, began about 20 months ago to be grievously afflicted with a tape worm, which increased fast in size and strength, so as to excite the most horrid sensations by its writhing motions and intolerable pains, resembling the gnawing and tearing of his bowels, which deprived him of his necessary sleep, and caused such dreadful apprehensions as cannot be conceived but by one in a similar situation—his appetite wasted rapidly, and with that his strength, so that he was unable to attend to any business—when he heard of some excellent cures performed by Hamilton's worm lozenges, he took a large dose, which brought away about FOUR YARDS of the worm (now in the possession of Lee & Co.)—but a renewal of his pains soon convinced him that this monstrous reptile had recovered its first vigour—Application was made to Lee & Co. for more of their medicine, with their advice—from which resulted the total expulsion of his formidable enemy, in several pieces, which he supposed to be SIX or EIGHT YARDS more. A few months have since elapsed, and Mr. Fuller is now in perfect health. The above facts are well known to a numerous circle of his neighbours, and himself will gratify any who may wish to make further inquiries on the subject. Although Hamilton's worm lozenges produce such powerful effects, when necessary, yet they are perfectly innocent and mild in their operation on the human body, even taken in large doses, as Mr. Fuller will testify—their particular mildness is abundantly evident in innumerable cures of infants.
Communicated by Dr. John Spangler, York-town, Pennsylvania.
Letter from the reverend Mr. JOHN MOLTHER, minister of the Moravian church, in York-town.
York, January 4th, 1802.
Dear Sir,
Dr. Hamilton's lozenges have been recommended to me as a very adequate means for the cure of children afflicted with worms, I procured a box for the use of my family, to try, whether by means of this medicine, I might be enabled to gain a point, which, to accomplish, different other means had proved abortive. My eldest boy had a very sickly appearance, was very restless at night, grew leaner from time to time; in short, he seemed to be in a precarious state of health, which would yield to none of the medicines administered, until I gave him two doses of lozenges, agreeably to the directions, which carried off a substance to all appearance a meremucus, but upon close inspection quite reple with very small living animals. Not one of the
sort of worms which usually afflict children came from him. Since that period he grew remarkably better in health, and though lean, has got a fresh and lively complexion. Upon different occasions I have used this medicine a purging substitute, and found it to answer exceedingly well, without bringing on belly-ache, or any of those disagreeable sensations, so often occasioned by purging medicines. Upon the whole, I judge this medicine to be, besides its main object, one of the most salutary means for restoring lost appetite, and promoting a proper state of digestion, by carrying off that bilious substance, which engenders so much indisposition both among children and adults.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, JOHN MOLTHER.
